Some vague notion about "vegan influencers" getting sick is the reason people shouldn't stop eating meat? Really?
According to the article the Humboldt gets about €1 million per year, I checked 10+ publications from this year [0] but I couldn't find a single one funded with Google money. Now, this doesn't mean that something fishy is going on but it would be interesting to find the research that Google did fund since it doesn't seem like the funds were used for regular research.

It looks like you’re right. Whoops.
Git is very simple. It's the UI that is a bit messy.

C++ is by no means simple.
The fact that such an obvious observation is downvoted without a reply or justification shows you what way the winds blow on HN nowadays.
At this point, I've given up on the paywall links and just use circumvention methods:

1. Open link in a private window, if that doesn't work

2. Use the 'Web Archives' extension and click archive.is to view the shared article without paywalls.

For mobile, I wonder if there is an equivalent 'web archives' app that lets you share a web link to it to open it automatically in the app.

At this point, I wish HN just provided an archive.is or similar link along with the original link.
This isn’t an accurate take.

Fashion trends are created in the same way art, architecture, and music trends are. By people who are talented and come to be influential.

The fashion “industry” is the very last stop in the process. The trends are determined by the “cool kids” for the most part.

If you don’t have exposure to the communities that actually drive trends it might feel the way you describe but if you live in a place like New York or pay attention to certain media the dynamic is obvious. If you’re basing your read on what you see in the local shop you’re fully a year or more behind the curve.

Which is fine. You don’t have to care about it at all really. But the your description of the dynamic isn’t correct.
Why can't google just say "to see this result you need to pay Murdoch" instead of the link ? I think that would change the company's mind rather quickly.
This "perpetually moving target" will need funding to operate. The Fed will always be able to afford to lose more money than the private sectors can afford to lose. Remember that the government doesn't need infinite resources, they just need more resources than the private sector can muster.

This is something the Fed does all the time, this is exactly how they distort the economy to set interest rates and bond yields. They have been 51% attacking the bond markets for decades, and all the bond shorts who thought "they can't possibly keep printing at this rate" lost their shirts.
>The same market has also accepted:

As well as accepting a host of other things beyond paper notes redeemable for x.

Efficient market hypothesis is based on humans acting rationally with available information. But humans tend to be short sighted and only optimize for their lifespans. Ex: clearly we have done poorly with carbon emissions and global warming, and now we can only hope that throwing money at the problem can solve it. As things get worse, we'll throw more money at it. But all we can do is hope that a solution will be found, and that is scary.

> The shareholders of the federal reserve branches did…

Can you explain what you mean by this?
"The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. The Federal Reserve was created in 1913 by the Federal Reserve Act to serve as the nation's central bank. The Board of Governors in Washington, D.C., is an agency of the federal government and reports to and is directly accountable to the Congress"

> I don't have that fear, the market will adapt with the times based on demand and risks individual actors perceive relative to the power they have to make their desires a reality, rather than some hypothetical idealized scenario we can carve out in our minds about how it "should" be.

I'm confident society will make it out alive, but at what cost. What does the mother of all hyperinflation events look like? What are the effects of the collapse of the world's reserve currency? The closer we get to those events, the more seriously people will start to take this problem.
Why not push the screen reader component upstream?

It'd be another service add-on, but it might also be useful for folks who want to have narrative browsing, e.g., the equivalent of someone reading the news sites to the listener without having to interact with the site itself.
By reading coverage in Nikkei and analysts that are on the ground in China. Notably Dan Wang, who totally called it 8 months ago:

https://danwang.co/2020-letter/

> While promoting the status of science and technology with one hand, the Chinese government has with its other hand reined in the activities of consumer internet companies. I’ve never stopped lamenting the marketing trick that California pulled off to situate consumer internet as the highest form of technology, as if Tencent and Facebook are the surest signs that we live a technologically-accelerating civilization. The “tech” giants are highly-capable companies that print cash. But they’re barely engaged in the creation of intellectual property, excelling instead on business-model innovation and the exploitation of network effects. It’s become apparent in the last few months that the Chinese leadership has moved towards the view that hard tech is more valuable than products that take us more deeply into the digital world. Xi declared this year that while digitization is important, “we must recognize the fundamental importance of the real economy… and never deindustrialize.” This expression preceded the passage of securities and antitrust regulations, thus also pummeling finance, which along with tech make up the most glamorous sectors today. The optimistic scenario is that these actions compress the wage and status premia of the internet and finance sectors, such that we’ll see fewer CVs that read: “BS Microelectronics, Peking; software engineer, Airbnb” or “PhD Applied Mathematics, Princeton; VP, Citibank.”

Read the whole letter, it is very informative, unlike most coverage in the Western business press that leans towards the caricatural. Xi may be evil and ruthless, but that does not mean he is stupid, or insincere in his nationalism. It would be a grave mistake to underestimate him and think of him as just another Putin.

One of the earliest "tree shaker" might be the "selective linker" of MacScheme (an early Scheme implementation for the Apple Macintosh), which was developed in 1985 by William Clinger. It's for example mentioned in the 1987 release announcement for MacScheme+Toolsmith Version 1.0:

https://ml.cddddr.org/scheme/msg00189.html

Lucid Common Lisp had a tree shaker as part of their delivery tool. That one was developed from 1988 onwards.
> what is the legal situation here?

Honestly, I don't know.

We may disagree on whether browser isolation is strictly necessary. But to the extent that Cloudflare's marketing efforts convince IT departments that it is, and that it's important to adopt it company-wide, that's bad for blind people unless Cloudflare makes the product accessible. I don't know if their marketing efforts are succeeding, but I'm being proactive here.
The original comment just says "because of entropy". It's not an explanation, it's an appeal to a black-box technical term. So I pointed out an obvious way in which that term did not apply, since we're rather further than 100 years from the heat death of the universe.

Yes, human bodies by default incur damage and stop functioning within ~100 years. But what prevents that damage from being repaired, other than our ignorance? Are you/they actually claiming it literally violates the laws of physics to repair a human body? Because if not, I reject the appeal to entropy. Entropy is a very specific thing; it is not a generic stand-in for "stuff must break down".

> Why not push the screen reader component upstream?

Are you suggesting that a screen reader should run on the same remote machine as the remote browser and push its audio down to the client? Or something else?
Should use one VLAN per device. I think manufacturers will start using their own mesh networks. If your neighbors have a Vizio TV, your vizio TV will use their connection, same for Samsung, etc. If you have an open guest network, these devices will use it automatically.

The Brother printer I have attempts to hit some static IP in Japan for firmware updates, unencrypted http. So while on some OSes, you can use it without installing a drive, on MacOS, your desktop will automatically download the vendor's software indirectly from Apple. That is why installing printers is a separate permission as it updates system level components.

The only immediate solution I see to this is to have a protocol level firewall say running on an RPi that firewalls the printer off and intermediates all communication between the devices on the local network and the printer.

> Did I mention there was a large civil war next door, and one side is a significant Russian ally?

Doesn't Russia just provide it's allies with military equipment? I don't see why they would execute this strange plan to get explosive material to anyone they openly support.
Maybe CCP/Xi is genuinely interested in sensible governance and is in a (reluctant) position to pioneer now that models which PRC previously emulated has either failed or became paralyzed with dysfunction. We're in the post end of history era. CCP conducted thorough analysis on the collapse of USSR, while the luster of western governance and economic management faded post GFC, and more so now after Trump. On Xi, we have early CIA testimony that he's incorruptible by money. LKY likened him to Nelson Mandela type of individual. Unlike all the other "interests" his speech writers and publicist feigns, he seems to be incredibly fixated with governance and bureaucracy on an intellectual, bordline autistic level. IMO this is just government governing in system based on performance legitimacy, improving comprehensive national power, instead of vetocracy (or equivalent) politics. Lot's people out there projecting other motives because they can't recognize proper governance anymore.
I rent, and am plenty fine with it. One thing I like is that we get a yearly home inspection. Some people surely dislike the thought of people trouncing through their inner sanctum, but what it means is that every year they find things that need fixing, and fix them. Last year we got a new (and better) stove out of it. The year before we got our washer/drier dismantled, fully cleaned, and rebuilt with a few new parts, and a new water heater.

They want to keep their units in good condition, and I don't have to do much of the hard work to keep it that way. Air filters are pretty much the only utility maintenance we have to do.

Also, if you have rowdy neighbours, there isn't a whole lot you can do about that if you own and they aren't actually breaking any laws. Our landlord has been rapid at addressing neighbour complaints. However, I have rented a number of different places, and this particular landlord is the first and only one I've had that actively tries to maintain peace and order as well.

It's quite hard, because it's not just "use known vulnerabilities on this specific address" - you can block it easily, and there are projects (such as CRS: https://github.com/coreruleset/coreruleset) that tries to emulate this. It's more of combined specific attacks, which is amplified because if CloudFlare detected an attempt on a single high-profile site, then that IP address can be propagate to all of Cloudflare-protected "properties" (as they called it). Combine that with how random is an address allocated in Tor (and frequent rotations), and you've got blocks without using an explicit Tor list.
The fact guns are lethal is a feature, not a bug. Gun owners recognize how evil mankind can be. They are often students of history--all the dictators over the course of time who themselves used the power of government enforced by those happy to subjugate others. Much of the youth today have never lived in an actual warzone or seen dictators rise to power and actually subjugate people. These youths want to believe that everyone is inherently good and to be trusted; this perspective is incredibly naive as a cursory examination of history will tell us.

Yes, there are those who would use your physical vulnerability against you to control you, subjugate you, and even kill you. If and when that happens, you will realize your error. Many people are trying to prevent that future from happening in the first place by being armed to fight back.
The Fed is (nominally at least) a private institution. They are not hobbled by government bureaucracy. Just look at all the things they did in 2020 that everyone would have imagined would have been impossible. All they need is the green light to do it, and the Fed can swoop in ninja style and get stuff done, as they do. There is no oversight, there are no constraints.
IMHO the problem with programming isn't the total stress on the brain, it's that there is very little observable output of all of that effort.

I spent some time working with commercial HVAC and some of the problems there were on par with the most difficult technical problems I've worked through in information systems. The difference is that, with HVAC, all of that effort results in an outcome that connects with the limbic system in a way that doubling throughput or halving latency doesn't.
How about adding custom additional yellow dots to render the hidden information useless?
One level down. My serious side project (https://vimeo.com/241051006) is arguably less cool than my casual side project (https://vimeo.com/308956882)
I often use jq for random hacks but for something like this I would turn to XPath. I know that sounds impossibly retro, but XPath 3.1 for JSON is awesome and its language makes so much more sense than jq’s. There are several good implementations, and all of them are faster than jq, too.
> Then how are the kids going to have their flashy Electron apps?

This Electron-bashing is misplaced. In point of fact, Electron is one of the most accessible cross-platform UI solutions.
> Did the outcomes of research at these institutions change after receiving money from Google and Facebook?

Perhaps not the outcomes. But some PI could have said "let's not research that, because Google might not like it".

> there would be no one keeping the lights on.

Why would that be? Two years is only four percent of a working lifetime and it won't be at the same time for everyone. And not every company takes two years to create anyway.

Another way of looking at it is that two years is less time than it takes to get a degree.
Pork isn’t luxury, it’s really cheap. It’s almost in chicken territory with how cheap it is (where I live).
Here is where you're wrong: you're thinking in terms of 4 to 1 power to storage. A CO2 battery can have a very large storage for 1MW. It could potentially have a storage of 40 hours. You keep charging it for months, and then release it all when there is a week long lull of wind and solar production.

Such short bursts of energy are typical for Li-Ion batteries, but quite atypical for other forms of energy. It's the same principle as with the flow batteries.
Every part in the wings is redundant. For example, there are two main wing spars. Each can support the wing.

You can take whatever risks you like. But I don't see how having a dual rope subtracts from your enjoyment.
There's nothing usual about that. Lots of technologies get licensed.
steel-manning for fun:
if its a master data governance tool then you could use it to load all systems master data and also extract all master data from those systems and reconcile it to ensure all rules are being followed. you may even use this info to trigger masterdata workflows..

there are so many bozos faking this precicley because a surface glance doesnt necicarily tell you they are full of shit.

A key indicator is do they dig into code?, do they look at data bases?, do they mock stuff up and prototype? do they reference company strategy and financial targets?.. they cant just talk the talk, they also have to walk the walk.

If someone said this to me then showed me a prototype integrated masterdata and business intellignence solution, how it would interface with busines governance, change management etc. i would be happy.. if they just had that triangle and wanted someone else to "do the technical stuff" then its another story :)

Or a cheeky way of looking at it.. does involving this person normally make things more or less clear? does the time to get value from work reduce or increase?
What prevents them is custody. Funds, brokers, etc. are all required to use custody providers to keep track of assets and handle the actual transfer of assets.
No that's right, unions can't prevent layoffs or office closures, the idea isn't to prevent any sort of changes. To use a programming metaphor, it's more about avoiding undefined behavior. We use contracts to define professional relationships in almost all other contexts; employment relationships are unusual in having terms that are largely unspecified.

A union is just a framework for negotiating a contract. It does two unique, significant things: it allows for negotiating a contract that covers a group of workers (rather than an individual), and it requires the company to negotiate in good faith (they can't just refuse to agree to a contract at all).

The contract itself is the important part, and the details are going to vary based on the situation. A $1M minimum salary wouldn't make sense at a tech company, but is reasonable in the NBA. On relocations, you're probably not going to forbid them, but maybe you have some specified amount of severance for this situation for people who can't move to the new location. Or maybe there's a minimum amount of notice the company needs to provide, so people don't have to pull their kids out of school in the middle of the year or whatever.

I don't see why it would necessarily reduce mobility. I think it would make the company a more appealing place to work, so perhaps people would be more likely to stay at a unionized shop, but I don't think that's really all that different from someone staying at Google because they like the office cafeteria.

Mostly, though, I think a union is not as extreme of a change as it's sometimes portrayed. It can't make money appear out of thin air, or turn around a failing company or industry, but it also doesn't prevent innovation or remove the flexibility to reward high performance. It's just a way for employees to put themselves on more equal footing with the company when setting employment terms.
The original comment seemed to be recommending this other book based on the quality of this book.

Do we know that Twitter is intentionally doing that to defeat adblockers? It’s a common speculation I see about them (and maybe it’s a convenient side-effect), but these sorts of mangled class names are also a common feature of popular CSS-in-JS libraries. (I work on an internal app that does the same thing, and it’s incredibly annoying but definitely not explicitly intended to be hostile.)
Dysregulated oxalate metabolism is claimed to be just a dysfunctional metabolic pathway that leads to excess of oxalates.

Warburg effect is a bit different. While the author Otto Warburg believed that cancer cells preferred anaerobic (oxygen-less) glycolysis pathway, the modern view on this topic has evolved. Now we tend to believe that cancer cells maximize and exhaust all energy sources available to them. This includes a normal aerobic pathway. Once the mitochondria is stressed out and broken, it no longer is able to support the adequate levels of aerobic glycolysis. The host cell begins to starve in ATP and this is where the anaerobic pathway kicks in. So it is not that a cell has a specific preference; it is just a matter of survival and chemical auto-regulation.

So no, Warburg effect is not really a cousin as far as I can see.

What do you think about masturbation?
As a single man who is pretty socially isolated and has been for a long time. I struggle with sexual release. I find if I do masturbate then it greatly effects my state of mind in a negative way with regard to getting things done and living a meaningful, productive life. If I don't masterbate then I find myself distracted by my lack of sexual release. Ocassional sex with a wife or girlfriend would be the best solution but that is not something that is readily available right now. In the past I looked at a lot of porn on mainstream sites like porn hub but now in my 30s I seem to have grown out of it. Using in person sex workers has its own set of moral, health, legal and most important for me, financial negatives. Anyway I identify as schizoid personality disorder (wikipedia has a page). Basically an extreme introvert. But I am still human and have physical sexual needs that are not well met through masturbation.

I am wondering if there are similar nerdy loners and how they deal with it better than me?

I do not identify as incel at all. I think they are pathetic from what I have seen online.

So my question is does masturbation impair your productivity?

How do you deal with physical sexual release needs in a better way that has less of a negative impact on your life?
> you spend money to convenience yourself and save time/energy because you value your time/energy at that higher rate of income.

Agreed, but the way I put it is that the higher consumption is done to compensate for the stresses that come with the work life(style). I have a lot less patience and mental energy to do impulse control or to judiciously weigh the pros and cons of this versus that purchase when in a stressful work environment compared to when I'm not. I'd say that counts as "a result of systemic forces".
