As somebody who had a porn addiction (as in: I feel my consumption negatively impacted my life) I don't understand why some commenters here say it's "only" treating a symptom.

Sure, if I'd felt more engaged in other areas during my youth, I might not have started consuming porn. And I might not have stopped consuming if it weren't for changes in my life that prompted me to do so. But please, when treating addiction you can't try to solve all the other problematic patterns in a person's life. Often only after resolving the addiction people are enabled to address their other pain-points.

If this app -- and I wouldn't trust that thing on any of my devices -- helps people get off porn when they want to get off of it, I don't see how this is problematic. Or any more problematic than the use of apps for making life decisions in general.

There are many ways to manage one's habits and if something else works for you, good for you. That doesn't invalidate the approach chosen for the app.
The climate crisis will probably only wipe poor humans out. I'd also say that it is a rather new phenomenon (the last generation) where people have started worrying about climate change. We are starting to take action. The next generation could already be a lot more sustainable.

Farmers have incredibly high incidence of mental health issues compared to the general population. Farmers are under incredible stress. Farmers are more likely to say life is not worth living than the general population. Maybe they are not a good example.

This is just another externality. Sounds like we need a body count tax for large vehicles like this.

Edit: BTW, I'm honestly serious about this. These vehicles clearly come with a significant cost, and while it's a bit callous, that cost (in the form of human lives) can be quantified in financial terms and then incorporated into the price of these vehicles in the form of taxation.

Doing so sends a price signal to the market: if you want a big truck, then you have to pay a large fee for the privilege, recognizing you're more likely to kill someone crossing the street.

The alternative is trying to legislate the size of vehicles or other safety features, which is absolutely an option. But speaking for myself, I'd prefer to discourage the purchase of these monsters in the first place by raising their prices so much as to render them unattractive versus smaller, safer vehicles.
>Some people in some situations just don't want a stranger to come up and compliment them, or maybe talk to them at all

But on the other hand, feeling avoided can be just as bad as feeling invaded. You're focusing on someone not wanting a stranger to talk to them, which does happen, but there's also the possibility that they are bored, or not socially anxious, and would like or not mind a brief interaction. You can't gauge what they feel about it until after you say the first thing, which is why the best approach is to say something without a lot of consequence, see their reaction, and then either leave them alone or keep talking depending on what preference they display.
The fact that global warming is seen as our most dire emergency is a testament to how few crises we actually face now as a species.
Was there a claim that shifting to larger cars is safer

I drive a large vehicle for many reasons, #1 being comfort. I am a tall, large person. I want a vehicle with lots of leg room, and a ride height that does not require me to climb down into the vehicle. SUV's and Pickup trucks fit that bill. Cars do not.
Excellent point which i agree is most likely overlooked.

At least professionally it's easy to forget the progress others less experienced do, if you have walked that path long ago.

There's an interesting phenomenon, specific to US tech, where there are a ton of Chinese who quietly have a problem with the recent anti-china rhetoric, but they're not going to put a target on their back over it, they stay quiet. How do you even engage with someone who doesn't speak a word of Chinese and is so confident that they know all about China?

Meanwhile, the anti-china folks blithely go on about how much better freedom of expression is in America, and assume that silence means they are right.

My point is that this is easy to do if you just have the data in sequence. The actual computation could be done in Matlab, or Julia, or R, or Python. SQL isn't a good language for doing computations on time-series data, but you can always write out a sorted data list.
Just out of curiosity, what are some examples of boring tech in this case?
I don’t think you can ever rellicense or sublicense someone else’s code without consent or prior arrangements.

Like if I said this comment is licensed under GFDL 12.34 and you thought GFDL 10.01 is “compatible” with it, it’s still mine to decide under what license it is licensed.

A popular phrasing found on many GPL projects are “Version 2 or later”, but that doesn’t mean you get to rewrite it to “AGPL 3 or stricter”. That’ll be a copyright violation.
I’d be interested to see how the customers made an informed choice between a non existent native app and a PWA app.

Probably they made the choice after listening to an opinionated story about ‘sitting around waiting for updates’. Which nobody does, of course, because if you mind that you just turn on automatic background updates.

At least in this story Safari is good enough to have the features that matter. The world is safe.

This is still a similar viewpoint held by the young to adult generations of China although the idea of China as a democracy is definitely warming up but its more of at a certain date, China will transition to democracy instead of the current system being replaced now.

Absolutely nothing wrong with anonymous/pseudonymous blogs/Twitter/etc.

When your blog is part of your in real life public presence, you obviously don't want to do that. And I started blogging before many of today's concerns became as big a deal. But, if I were starting a blog today that was divorced from my professional identity, I'd seriously consider not connecting it to real life me--especially if I regularly blogged about political issues (which I don't).

There's a long history of people writing under pseudonyms. If someone really cares they might be able to connect the dots (and many times so if they're a government) but that's not the attack scenario for most people.
marketing to suburban mothers. It started with "SUV's are safer" which then led to "SUV's can carry more" and the other option of "SUV's aren't minivans" to woo over the dads. Eventually it became the question of "can I afford to put gas in it?" as well as "do I ever want to go offroad?" (even if they never plan to).

Car Talk gave an interesting history here:

> especially since startups nowadays rarely give contributors sufficient stock to make the risks worthwhile.

All startups aren't created equal. Most startups aren't worth it. Unless the founder has a good background or showed he can raise capital, always go for consulting fees.
> There is a cost to working at home that goes beyond depression, disconnectedness and failing to bathe regularly: It can drain morale and diminish collegiality.

This is about learning to lead and work in a remote environment, not that working remotely is impossible.

Some industries like legal services (including public legal services like courtrooms) have needed to learn these skills for several years, if not decades at this point.

Firms can ignore the reality of working remotely, and even continue onwards for a while because of the deep moat their services have, but eventually they will need to adapt.

On a less constructive note, this same attitude is why legal services used to (and in some cases, still do) print out a ton of paper instead of using digital services for so much longer than nearly any other industry. A huge unwillingness to update processes that are “still working just fine”.
Are you kidding? It was like telepathy. You touch it and it guesses where you want the pointer to be.
If you are an estimator of Peter Falk in "light" roles, you surely know it, I have to confess that I still re-watch from time to time The Inlaws (with Alan Arkin besides Peter Falk) and still laugh out loud on the same lines, even if I almost know them by heart:

I mean in theory the motors and controllers are identical across all builds, but since the length of the rotating pieces is variable, the angles of rotation might remain the same but the leverage and hence the torque vary by quite a bit. Bigger people have longer limbs, and bigger people also weigh more.

> Jack Ma, for example, disappeared last year shortly after a speech where he called the finance regulators incompetent and tried to use his fortune to bypass them.

MSM tried to paint such picture.

Mr. Ma put that show, because of he knows that the regulators are coming to ANT IPO. And he disappeared because a lot of people are going to be very angry after Mr. Ma failed to push the IPO through. Think a bit, who are those angry men. I guarantee you'll never find the names of these people, thinking them like political power that collectively can rival the infamous Mr. Xi.

CCP is bully.

But when it's bullying the one who romanticize 996 [1], hell, yeah, I enjoy that Mr. Ma gets bullied...

My Journey to Deep Learning
Ah once again a popular post about climate change is removed from the HN homepage.

I'm sure dang will claim it's because enough people flagged it, but that's no excuse.

It's ridiculous that HN actively takes a part in censoring climate change, or any general post critical of unchecked capitalist expansion, articles. I hope you realize that this is a form of aggressive climate change denial.

HN used to be a site about "hackers" people who were curious about how the world worked and understanding systems. It's why posts like this get so many upvotes. Removing content like this because you don't like reality is repulsive behavior for any website but especially this one.

Sadly this kind of behavior will drive me away from this site, and I'm sure many others. Enjoy your new reality denying echo chamber.
Seconded, I use Feedly daily

Depends on how much usage increases. I don't see any claims of deaths per driver or mile or time driven going up in the article from a cursory glance.
What you want is RSS, but you don't need to learn how it works at all. Go to feedly.com and create a (free) account. Add sites you want to follow (there's an 'add content' button which lets you search by URL). Done. Feedly will give you a home page with titles and blurbs, and for many sites you can even get the 'reader mode' content without navigating to the site directly.

If you're worried about this, wait until you hear about the parents who give their kids bicycles and skateboards!
It's sad to read about the dev headaches caused by today's poor virtualization environments. I distinctly remember that stuff was no work at all at IBM. It didn't interfere one bit with the actual work of coding on the products. In fact, we really never thought about setups or creating environments for testing or development.

In peer reviews, for example, it was standard to bring output from both the failing case and the working case as printed handouts. Those were easy to generate; just spin up two machines and fix one while you leave the other broken. They can share resources if you like so you don't have recreate everything. That is horribly messy today. Testing is so hard most people don't do it.
I wonder how many people will actually attempt mind uploads, or believe that completely computer generated agents are sentient. Especially since it seems like a lot of these technologists are willing to use duck typing to determine sentience, which obviously isn't good enough.

Seriously, how are you going to prove mind uploads will somehow be different from this: https://www.whompcomic.com/2013/06/19/pork-futures/

Even a Moravec transfer boils down to taking a leap of faith on the ship of Theseus thought experiment having a definite answer, not to mention the inherent creepiness of the proposition of slowly replacing your brain with some foreign substance.

What would parental controls on Discord look like to you?

The scenario is that you typically join someone else's server or provide them with a link to one you are already a part of.

Would you want some client-side assurances that a young user doesn't interact with someone who says something you dislike, or would you want this on the server-side?

What does the interaction with people who do not have those controls look like?

Some depressing reasons why I can't get excited about this:

1) Speed of light, that inconvenient fact. Somehow in sci-fi stories, that's supposedly "overcome" someday? What if it never is?

2) Intelligent life on Earth is indeed "unlikely" given all the things that could have extinguished it by now. However, given billions of galaxies, it must have existed in many, many places, maybe even in our own galaxy, and some of them are maybe even still around.

3) Given (1), they will never contact us, nor will we contact them.

4) Even if you don't accept (1) through (3), what could anyone usefully do about it?

You have to look at this from the perspective of someone who's jumpy, maybe socially anxious, and concerned about unexpected things. Belts are less noticeable than watches, and less advertised as personality statements, so this possibly nervous stranger would be more prepared to hear something about their watch than their belt.

The point here is that you don't know if they're a loud-and-in-charge extrovert or a shy high-anxiety introvert until you talk to them.
If Copilot can complete the interview, you are interviewing wrong. Plain simple.

The username and the obsessive refs by the person you're responding to make me want to totally dismiss him. You see that kind of stuff a lot with this particular topic.

HOWEVER, many people simply want to change their own behavioral patterns and have a hard time doing it. Will they be measurably "happy" if they succeed? That's not the point. There's value in being able to do something (or stop doing something).

None of these things are ever going to be "quantifiable" in a practical sense.
Notice how these are all Google technologies?

That doesn't contradict your point per se, but it basically feels to me like Google is dictating the standards right now. So I'm not sure Apple needs to play along.
To add to this, why is it that every single SUV now has a sports variation of it, i don't understand the appeal of having 500+ HP SUV's.
They could of added the regulation at a slower pace instead of pulling the plug on everyone.
I think it's just the type of consumer. People purchasing non-sporty sedans are just plain, practical, price-conscious consumers.

Perhaps a second factor is that Japanese cars dominate the market, and American manufacturers can only compete via competitive pricing (eg. compare the price of a Ford Focus and a Corolla).
The essential question is about extrapolating the arc of human progress: If it continues asymptotically, we become as gods "soon"; if it turns into an S trapped by an upper bound, progress grinds slowly to a halt; and if it inverts like a wave, we see a levelling off, equally rapid decline, and maybe some kind of evolutionary rebound rather than simple extinction.

All seem mathematically valid (in the broadest sense) but I don't see a reason to dismiss other options in favor of the asymptotic outcome. But like many people I am intuitively skeptical about we-become-as-gods.
Hubot still has a special place in our heart. The only reason I ever learned Coffeescript was to build scripts for it. But I have definitely broken installs more than once. We tried to make Abbot very simple to run for exactly that reason!

Right now all skills run through the same infrastructure. We are figuring out our package management story currently, but today everyone has the same packages loaded, and all requests come from our shared infra. Some companies we talked to have specific library needs (especially internal libraries) or requests for dedicated IPs for their runners. For most teams, this probably isn't needed. We spend a lot of time making sure things are fast and scale, so it's mostly about control for our customers.
The fact that regulation precludes the viability of a small vehicle that is able to punch above its size (like a Chevy Astro, or older Ford Ranger) in terms of capability is a large part of why vehicles have grown so large. Commercial needs that used to be served by these small vehicles are being solved by F150s and Transits. Commuters who used to commute in hatches and wagons which could sufficiently perform their weekend duties as well are buying crossovers and SUVs which have nearly identical interior dimensions. This vehicle inflation has been largely driven by fuel economy and safety regulations.

The road to hell is legislated with good intentions.

I have a curated list of subreddits I like to read. The moment old.reddit and i.reddit stop working I'll drop them like a bad habit. I'm not going to use their absolutely terrible "new" UI nor their insipid app.
Honestly, it's not that complicated. The site publishes a feed, and you can use any RSS reader to consume that feed. Some readers are out in the cloud, others are self-hosted as services, yet others are client-side applications.

In general, most blogs and major news sources, along with aggregators like Reddit and Hacker News, publish RSS feeds. It's basically the way I consume content on the web.

If you want to give it a try I'd recommend Feedly.

I’m hearing people now saying things like a vehicle as large as the BMW X3 is “fine if you don’t have kids.” As a kid who grew up in a Subaru Outback and later a Prius, it leaves me scratching my head.
We really need to stop treating SUVs and light trucks like something other than passenger vehicles. The difference between a mom driving a minivan, and a mom driving an SUV is functionally no different in terms of passengers. But the SUV doesn't have to follow "passenger vehicle" pedestrian safety requirements, so it's a lot more lethal to pedestrians/cyclists than the minivan.
Thanks great to know that folks can get work done on an iPad too.

What is it about iPadOS that's limiting for juno.sh? The difficulty in putting two apps side by side (I still need to Google how to do it on my 11" iPad Pro running iOS 14.7.1!) or something else?
I don't disagree with you. Still interesting to keep a finger on the zeitgeist.
