Given the response, I probably should have clarified that this was meant more for camping not hiking per se. I wouldn't use it walking an actual trail with other hikers as that would be rude (and also what the headphones are for anyway) .
I don't understand.. where did the context for an etch-a-sketch getting mailed come from? Why does every day of travel decrease the chances of it getting to its destination?

I have to know.. :)

*EDIT: ahhh, non-linear commenting! I went to the wired article from the other comment and found what you're referring to. I thought maybe they mailed it with a picture... they mailed it with an address?! that's one hell of a stress test.
Yuval is that you?

I have some sympathy for this view, but there's also the fact that at this point we've basically solved hunger from a societal point of view.

Deprivation of calories from a population now happens because of war or intentional. At the current time we no longer are at the whim of natural causes of hunger.

The big question here is how to minimize transaction costs.

You often have an item which in good condition would be worth e.g. $55, but it's damaged. If you ask someone how much they need to repair it, they say $50. So in a frictionless plane you would make $5.

But in order to pay them, you would have to fill out tax paperwork, and they would have to fill out tax paperwork, and you would have to pay payroll tax, and they would have to pay income tax, and in the end you would pay $60 and they would receive $30. So instead you throw the item away.

Whereas what you should do instead is to just give it to them. They were willing to fix the item for what in practice was $30. If you gave it to them, they would do the labor they valued at $30, or at $25 because they can omit the labor of doing the tax paperwork, and then they have a $55 item instead of the item going into a landfill.

There are also people who might be willing to use the item as-is without repairing it, if it was free.

So the real problem here is that these organizations aren't allowing people to pick through what they're throwing out. Which wouldn't make them any money, but it would be better for the world.
And instead of improving their code so Teams is fast as VS Code, they delegated it to the Edge team to write a new version of Electron called WebView2.

Teams' codebase is apparently so bad that it's not fixable and they need to rely on others to rewrite the runtime for them.

According to the page those numbers refer to FY 2019 or FY 2020. Per the second paragraph of TFA for the last 12 months Amazon has an estimated 610 billion in sales (which are part of revenue), not FY aligned. This actually lines up pretty closely to just naively expanding the y/y growth rate on the page you linked over time. In reality it slightly outperformed that.
I'd rather live in a country not free of COVID-19 than live in a country where lockdowns like this are indefinitely possible over a single, probably unsignificant case.

I would argue that is more of a function of their low market cap (lack of retail "investors" who have no practical use for monero) which really only leaves developers, those who have a lot to lose (potential prison), those passionate for privacy (who's primary goal is not deflationary value) and the intellectually curious. If monero catches on the democratic balance tips towards retail investors and the discussion will focus on price. This also applies to reddit as a whole which has become lower and lower quality as mainstream culture has accepted its common use.

Perhaps I am jaded, but as of yet I have never used a browser-based video chat that worked well. Invariably connection issues arise which I have only rarely experienced with Zoom. My best explanation is that a native app has more to work with in terms of codecs and connection management than a browser can offer.

So to this end, that "dark" pattern is ultimately to a user's benefit and they are truly better off if they use the native app. If Zoom did not do this, they would pay the cost in terms of support and perceptions that the service is not reliable, in much the same way that Hangouts is unusable.

Having said that, you should be able to acknowledge that you do want to use the browser and don't want to see the pattern again.
Something that needs to happen more often is corporate abusers need to be fined into bankruptcy, shareholders wiped out, ownership transferred to the people (state) and kept operating while sold or broken up into pieces during bankruptcy restructuring. i.e. real consequences for boards and shareholders that aren't just small dents in quarterly profits while minimizing consequences for the more ordinary workers

Is this an either or thing? Will your immune system develop proper full immunity after getting vaccine + delta ?
A bad metaphor I just came up with: You're cutting a birthday cake. If you do the horizontal cuts you could at best have like 4 cuts and it's very hard. If you do the vertical cuts you could easily have like 16 cuts for everyone.

Because the horizontal way separates the concern the wrong way, or more precisely, the non-scalable way.

The idea is the same way that backend architectures are migrating from layered architectures to microservice or DDD alike architectures.

HTML, CSS, JavaScript separation of concern: 3 layers. Layered architectures: presentation, application, domain, infrastructure etc. There's only O(1) number of layers, so it's not scalable enough for modern applications. You can came up with more layers, but it's still O(1) and would be more strechy, despite the business and codespace are growing fast. People will struggle because everytime they change one layer, they have to find the corresponding other layers of code - it starts to defeat the purpose of separation where it should help people not caring other layers when modifying code.

A more critical separation of concern is to have O(n) separation: you can different domains like products, inventory, sellers, account managment, custommer support etc. If your business continue to grow, you could have more of them. And more importantly, it's much easier to separate teams into pizza-sized teams than layered separation.

Don't get me wrong, layered architectures are still useful. In fact, most of the DDD implementations are layered. But there's mental overhead when you introduce separation. Communities like React and Vue decide that it makes sense to merge layers in Front-end for local reasoning over separation, and accoding to my experience it works well (because I find it's very common to modify HTML, JavaScript, and CSS at the same time before I even started to use React).
I never have issues with Hangouts. I think Zoom is a slightly better experience, but just making a Calendar invite in Google Calendar, and it automatically having the Hangout meeting is pretty nice.

You comment makes it sound like the worst part of Lyme disease is the anxiety over having to check for ticks. This is inaccurate - preventing 3/4 of Lyme infections is a massive net win.

Lyme disease can be horrible. The value is in vaccine is to prevent most cases, not to eliminate the annoying tick checks.
How does it know whether to run the code client-side or server-side? How easy is it to accidentally end up creating SQL statements client-side and running them on the server?

If all the code runs server-side, is it not possible to create modern web apps on it where most interactions happen client-side, or does every request have to wait for the server's response?

OP here. I agree. I'm a mathematician, and like most mathematicians I find discussions of foundations actually kind of tedious (although obviously a proof that Peano arithmetic was inconsistent would be a big deal). Also only a handful of HN readers have anything at all to gain from the technical discussion here. What is of interest to the HN readership is the sociology of mathematics on display. Hence the original title.
> Fonts should not be copyrightable. Print fonts are not, it makes no sense that digital ones are.

I agree with your first statement, except that I'm stuck re-wording it to "I wish fonts weren't copyrightable" because I can't find an argument/proper analogy that works.

I don't know the details around copyright law, IANAL (surprise!) either, so I'm looking at this from an incredibly naive legal perspective -- that almost everything is copyrightable (in the United States) except for facts. Since copyright law predates digital fonts, you have to look at things they are most like to see what applies (and find a judge to agree, but that part seems to be the simple). Print fonts are not copyrightable. I'm not sure why they're not copyrightable -- were they explicitly excluded (i.e. there's a law on the books that says "Print fonts are not copyrightable"[0]) or were they found to be "like this other thing that is excluded, so they are excluded, too".

Then, looking at what's similar about print fonts versus digital ones, there's not really a whole lot other than that they're "concepts" that represent letters in this context. One is chiseled out of some form of metal or strong material, is that size/shape permanently and though there's science/research behind it, for whatever reason, it didn't represent enough of a kind of work to warrant protection. A font has a lot in common on the surface, but underneath it's a program[1]. One could extend that to say "bitmap fonts are so similar to print fonts that they should be excluded" but one cannot say the same for TTF/others and I'd imagine.

The bigger problem, though, is that exclusions to copyright are basically never made any longer. This used to be more common, but the entertainment industry's money/power continues to extend copyright in ways that benefit them to the exclusion of other industries -- particularly software -- the large players have a lot of money, so a law that was designed to equally protect invention/creation (really, patent law was by-and-large aimed at helping individual inventors protect their invention/give them a chance to capitalize it against abusive larger competition) ends up helping secure the existing players positions.

Now, I don't know if anyone wants Warner Brothers to make Mickey Mouse cartoons, but I suspect there's a less heavy-handed approach to protecting long-held IP while not extending copyright, basically, indefinitely for everything.

So yeah, all of that to say "No, I don't think fonts should be copyrightable, either ... but I can say that for so many things and there's so much wrong with Copyright these days that it warrants revisiting a reset/rethink." Maybe one day!

This is basically what is done with the flu shot although it's a very different mechanism in the actual vaccine.

You might be surprised by the actual facts on this matter: https://news.mongabay.com/2018/09/whats-causing-deforestatio...

And in particular: "The study found that clearing forests for oil palm plantations like the one above in Sabah, Malaysia, was the leading cause of deforestation in Indonesia and Malaysia during 2001 and 2015."

For North America, the major cause of deforestation was timber logging and forest fires.

The only place where cattle ranching has a major role in deforestation is in Brazil, and even in that case is not 90% of the cause as you imply above.

> cervical cancer where it seems like most cases are caused by HPV strains

Solar has dropped 50-75% in cost in the last decade, and accounts for 10x more wattage. Battery capacity has doubled in that time. Wind energy capacity has doubled. Geothermal capacity is 1.5x. Electric cars are 4x more common than they were 5 years ago. Carbon sequestration has advanced at a technological level, although production hasn't seen serious advances (probably because renewable energy produces a profitable resource, while sequestering just exchanges money for fighting climate change).

If that's not enough to make a difference, it's because we started too late and the problem is too large, not because technological development is too slow. Admittedly, nuclear could have done the job already, and the issue there is social.

If human lifespan technology moved at half the climate change technology speed, we'd have 25 extra years per decade and be effectively immortal today.
One important restriction on mailing is that you CANNOT mail fertile ants through USPS. Which means that all of those ant farms you see being sold to kids? You pay money, and get some sterile workers who are guaranteed to die pretty fast, leaving an unhappy kid.

If you want a real ant farm, you need to either collect ants locally, or buy ants in person from someone who did themselves. And you'd better known the rules if you want to cross state lines with your ants.

(Source, I have a teenager who loooves ants and knows everything about them. He now has multiple species of ants that he keeps.)
Another way too look at it: Do you prefer backend, frontend, and databases to be separate teams, or should each team have ownership over their own backend, frontend, and db?

Well, I can tell you that, relying on the experience of my own 30 year career using and reading LaTeX resumes, you're quite wrong. I appreciate a LaTeX resume because:

1. It's almost always much more readable than a Word document.

2. It's not about impressing people. It's about readability for the reader, and maintainability (by avoiding finicky and annoying WYSIWYG editing) for the author.

If using a LaTeX resume means self-selecting out of resume-grinding HR departments that require Word documents — and/or annoying entirely useless tech recruiters — that's a feature, not a bug.
You probably can't use it for any commercial purpose. Locally they can't really do much about it.
It's really too sad ... I (PhD on CompSci) could helping on the research of something groundbreaking for humanity instead of "maximizing shareholder profits". But Academia basically sucks in its current state, and in my country there is less than 0 capabilities to do real research.
This isn't the problem, those timers exist and are accessible (unless you're in a web browser). The problem is that your code is essentially running at an unpredictable point in time within the current frame. E.g. if you measure the time duration between the same line of code at the start of your per-frame function you'll get a tiny jitter and never exactly 16.66667 ms (assuming a 60Hz display). I'm not sure what's the exact reason, but I guess there are many things that can throw off this sort of time measurement in a modern operating system (for instance process/thread scheduling).
I read the article. "Rioters never came for the second precinct. In the days following Floyd's killing, most violence was concentrated on the Third Precinct — across the Mississippi River and more than 5 miles south of the Second Precinct." There was no danger of those documents being released to the public.

In a similar vein, Bell Labs developed the IL protocol in the 90's to facilitate better 9p performance on plan 9. It did not work well over the internet due to latency but was beneficial on local networks. It was most useful for disk servers serving root fs to CPU servers and terminals/workstations.

> I think this simply isn't true.

It isn't, of course, something that is easily realizable through simple logic. And yet, so many genuinely smart people make this mistake - what could be going on?

Of course, it is "a logical fallacy" of some kind, and most people seem more than content to point out their favorite and leave it at that. But a problem is: people keep doing it.

In this case, what I think is going on is (for lack of a better term) "subconscious tautological categorization". They start by committing a standard logical fallacy (I'm not sure which one his would be), but when their attention is drawn to that fact (not all people behave like that), they ~pivot to something like "yes of course, I know that, I was just speaking loosely, you know what I mean don't be pedantic, etc etc etc". But what they are ultimately relying upon (once their conscious, logical mind has had its attention focuses on their error), is tautological, or by definition categorization: the people that they are referring to is limited to only the people that do those things - which is, of course, correct. But what they don't notice is, it kind of takes the wind out of their argument, as they are essentially saying "some people (they will not say specifically who, or how many (in percentage terms), or describe a predictive model of any kind) do bad things". While this observation is literally true, it doesn't seem to be very important/useful to know, presumably less important than they had in mind when initially making the comment.

I often wonder what the world would be like if people were as concerned with meta-cognition as they were with (for example) their physical appearance. My intuition suggests the world would be a very different place, considering that the world largely runs on top of human cognition.

And this is just one example of the various funny ways in which people think, there are many others (like the percentage of even intelligent people's perception of reality that is based on their imagination). I think the reason no one notices is that it's just a constant in the environment, it's completely normal, it is The Water that we live in, similar to how we typically do not have conscious awareness of our breathing, or the background noise of a city, or the millions of other things going on around us that is filtered out by our consciousness. But a problem is: some things that the consciousness filters out might actually be very important, and the only way I can think of to deal with this problem is try to bring some people's conscious attention to the phenomenon/idea (although, it would be nice if there was a way to scale it up beyond making individual forum comments here and there - if anyone has any ideas on that or related ideas, please let me know).
