It's unusual for the misinformation to have quite such direct consequences. If you believe that the earth is flat or Avril Lavigne was replaced by a duplicate, it's hard to connect that to any immediate harm.

But when the misinformation results in the spread of a deadly disease, it becomes noteworthy.
Do shadow bans show up as dead comments? I have noticed comments from new (green) users sometimes immediately show up as dead, is that related?
I feel like just letting the climate change over the next 100 years and adapting as needed would be cheaper than spending $1.2 quadrillion on a global geo-engineering project.
Lonza is the big Moderna vaccine maker in Switzerland and they are heavily investing in expanding production of various medications. Such a contamination would be fatal for their business.
That is not the case for any software that is not trivial. Recompiling to remove ads from a free program may be achievable but something like adding the missing support for Excel VBA into LibreOffice Calc is beyond the capability of almost all users.
Yes. I think you're trying to be sarcastic, but it's true.

Cities are designed the way they are because of cars. Roads and highways cut up the city and make neighborhoods less walkable. That wasn't an accident, but the result of decades of lobbying by oil and car industries.

People like flying to places because they are fed FOMO about travel. That has a profit motive. You may find this less convincing.

And yes, it's cheaper to use natural gas because of... Drum roll... Lobbying. Consider what heating would cost if those companies were properly paying for the environmental damage they are causing. Look at California PG&E going bankrupt after the damage from the huge forest fires they kept causing. Climate damage is no less real, but who is footing the bill?

No, entanglement does not just mean “it is in one of these two states but we haven’t measured which”.

Entanglement is what you get when you have a state in the tensor product of two systems which is not a tensor product of a single state from each system, but is instead a linear combination of such products.

There are, in fact, experiments that can be (and have been) done which distinguish between “these two particles are entangled” and “we don’t know which of two combinations of states these two particles are in”.

However, if you only have one particle of the entangled pair, and don’t have any other way of getting information from the other particle, you can’t distinguish it from just, a probability mixture of (superpositions of) states of the one particle.
I say “(superpositions of) states of the one particle” to emphasize that the states don’t have to be in one of the standard basis states with a nice name like “up” or “down”, (though you could use a different basis in which it is a basis state).
This is a wonderful example of how much more effort is required to counter a false claim than to make said false claim. Thank you for putting in the effort.
It sounds more like the customer should set something to private but chose not to. Just like if you set your S3 bucket to public you wouldn't blame Amazon for not keeping your data private.
Assuming I'm questioning the unfounded claim is not the issue. I'm quoting the site's guidelines because the poster copied verbatim the message I was responding to. This is either quite snarky or assumes very low reading ability on my part.

In short the exchange was:

A: "The claims are unfounded because the FDA found no causal link."

B: "The claims might not be unfounded because the absence of evidence of a causal link is not sufficient to qualify them as such, as is evident by this legal precedent and my personal experience."

C: "`the FDA found no causal link.`"

I hope this clarifies things, I'm afraid we're getting very meta.

> Now you don’t have to worry about installing good appliances or even nice carpet. The air condition doesn’t work well? Too bad, as long as it meets regulations (if any) then that’s good enough. Why would you if your tenants aren’t choosing based on competition? The tenants suffer, too.

I'm totally against rent control, but London's rogue landlords and its very low quality housing are world famous and people coming from all over the world spend the first 6 month adapting to crazy stuff like carpet, old carpet, 10 year old carpet, fucking carpet, windowless toilets, wooden walls, decaying electrical systems, holes in the walls, carpet (I can't get my head around the idea of having carpet in a flat), etc... and carpet (unless they are in the top 5% of the income distribution and can afford to pay 2-3K£ per month in rent). Air conditioning and half-decent insulation are for the top 1%.

Said that, I don't think London's problem is lack of rent control, but rather it is lack of development of the rest of the country and the government artificially inflating the housing market.
Its not really the older ones though. We're seeing a lot more 30-40 year olds packing the hospitals and the kids ICUs are filling up in the hotspots.

The message was that only 80 year olds die of this disease.

But while the risk of death halves with every 8 years younger you are the risk of hospitalization only halves every 15 years. So while a 20 year old is 161 times less likely than an 80 year old to die, they're only 16 times less likely than an 80 year old to be hospitalized (roughly a 1% chance with the alpha variant so probably 2% chance with delta). And that's enough when spread across the entire population because of how resource intensive COVID patients are.

Agreed though about public health officials. They are all MDs who were better at playing politics than they were at medicine.
I wonder if the omission of Rome is purposeful, in that they would not be considered a hydraulic empire. At its height the city itself used as much water daily as NYC in 1925 thanks to the massive engineering achievement that was its vast system of aqueducts. As a republic, were they sufficiently centrally organized to fall under the aforementioned category or did the constituent states have autonomy over water resources?
I am really sorry to hear about your personal loss, by no means my goal was to create negative reaction.

> Petroleum products are a requirement for modern life.

This is the most insidious and false lie that is spread. Right now we are going through a technological revolution in humanity, maybe on the level of the development of agriculture, in how we generate energy. Renewables and storage are often cheaper than fossil fuels at the moment, and they are getting cheaper just like Moore's law describes the densification of transistors on chips.

HN is full of technologists. We, of all people, should recognize the capacity for technology change. And that technology change is actual work, that needs actual funding and labor, in order to happen.

We do not need fossil fuels for modern life, if we develop the technology. Dedicated technologists and entrepreneurs over the past 50 years have made solar power the cheapest energy out there, despite massive political power and the all the money of fossil fuel companies fighting against them.

If we had prioritized solar and storage, could we have accelerated the tech's development by 10 years? 20 years?

We don't have every single aspect of technology for decarbonization solved yet. Aviation fuel, for example. But that doesn't mean we can't, it just means that we haven't tried hard enough.

"To think we paid those security consultants so much money to protect our completely unencrypted and exposed database and we still got hacked.

And they had the nerve to suggest we replace this unencrypted database, which an old legacy system needs entirely open root access to with something secure for an eye watering bill - we don't hire security consultants to replace our legacy systems, we pay them to stop unauthorised people accessing the big pile of data we leave in the open.

Get the gall - they even wanted us to change the interface between our two big legacy systems because it was just a CSV file which contained all our sensitive data on it. Wimps! Especially as we told them they could do anything to make our systems secure, as long as they didn't touch those legacy systems."

I think that prosperity is attributed to have risen because of this school of thinking, so that’s why they’re reinforcing it.

It’s not much different than how ingrained corporatism is in American politics. But instead of worshipping a company, they’re idolizing a school of thought dating back to the Cultural Revolution. It’s funny how their own government has become the reactionary one.

The oil industry and the auto industry and the layout of 20th century American cities are all pretty thoroughly tied together, so I think you're significantly underestimating the effects of deliberate action on the world.

There's a certain mindset of technological determinism that says we can't control what happens with a new technological development, and how it impacts our society, but I completely disagree with it. And so do the people running a lot of the companies developing those technologies - they have and will continue to aggressively push for the policies which favor them regardless of the externalities, so we absolutely have to push for regulation of how technology is used and shapes our lives.

> Effectively a tool for adding background tunes to a chat room, Groovy worked by pulling audio directly from YouTube videos, joining voice calls, and playing music queued up by users

It's not surprising that this was shut down like most "freeload until we get caught" hobby crafts.

But is there a way to build this service in a legit way on top of any existing music services?

For example, if you were able to give Groovy your Youtube Music API key at a subscription level premium enough for your Discord server, but that doesn't exist on Youtube.

I can imagine there isn't much upside for the big players in these hard spaces to support "glue app" value like Groovy, but how can you build Groovy without building your own music service?

I was prepared to be angry at Google, but this probably stems from at-volume use of licensed material outside of the ToS. It probably impacts their deals with the music industry, etc. and requires intervention. (Not that this couldn't also be a salvo fired against an upstart competitor, but I doubt that's the primary reason.)

Seems like Discord could estimate the value of Groovy to its users, and if non-negligible, could come up with their own license deal. Perhaps with Spotify or another company.

The people to be angry at are the recording industry.

Indeed, users don't read error messages, and will just click whatever they think they need to click to move on.
I wonder how they arrive at this. Does google have any pull in this? What other options does Apple have at this point? No other search engine comes close to google and people are really used to google's UI and changing that will be very bad for the UX which Apple really cares about.
And they are not anyway pizzas (unless you stretch the definition of pizza to "anything that has a layer of bread at the bottom").

Not so casually the only actual pizza in the list is the one that is called pizza (pizza al taglio[1]) all the others are different specialities that may (or may not) be overall similar to a pizza.

In Italy there are tens or hundreds of regional variations of "focaccie" (that are not pizza) or similar "bread with something", the traditional diets all revolve around bread or pasta (i.e. flour+water), (olive) oil, vegetables and cheese, i.e. the most economical ingredients, more or less always the same and people had centuries to invent variations on the same theme.

[1] which is common enough, literally "pizza for cut", it is actually a "normal" pizza cooked in largish rectangular pans that is sold in rectangular slices.

> Bitcoin has existed for more than a decade.

But I haven't seen "buy bitcoin here" signs in the cities(that aren't tech hubs) until recently. Now people are randomly asking "what's the next big crypto?" trying to make quick money.
I'd call that choosing to consume less despite the central bank's policy. Pulling back to coast doesn't work when you're "in it". To get to that point, you've got to churn hard in a city (economic center), avoid hedonistic temptations as much as you can, and then at some point decide to pull the ripcord and leave to a low cost of living area. At which point you know that it will be really hard to get back on if your projections don't hold.

That's also to say nothing of the (inherently majority of) people who can't sock away enough surplus to do that, and end up on the treadmill their entire life. Tech gives us an outsized perspective here once again, by giving us more than urban-subsistence wages such that we can save up in the first place.

As to people's want of ever-more "nice things" driving their need to work so much, I just don't buy it. Rather, I see an extreme social pressure to keep working as much as possible (try negotiating less than 5 days a week, or every third week off), and then they fill in "nice things" as a rationalization. The same sentiment is repeated in many different areas (spend more time with your kids, etc), but yet few can individually move in that direction without totally eschewing the system ("pulling the ripcord").

And while it's possible for some people to escape the treadmill, it's not a possibility for most people and therefore not sustainable for society. There's a reason people doing it get labels like retired, FIRE, startup lottery, trust fund kid, etc.

As for central bank policy, it's reflected in malinvestments like much of Surveillance Valley. One of the most glaring examples was those startups buying electric scooters in bulk, under the hope that if they filled the sidewalk that money would eventually fall in. That's misproduction (and environmental pollution) driven directly by too much capital sloshing around, seeking any sort of return.
Plus, for anything other than new releases you'd get the rental typically for up to a week, whereas now it's 24 hours even for a 30 year old film.
Natural and Vaccine Immunity Against the SARS-CoV-2 Endemic Virus
I find myself touching any piece of text that is blue, for example an AD in my local newspaper that has some text in blue. This is due to an ingrained pattern of behavior and the result of being decades on the web.

There are no hacks for clients. The client-consultant relationship is -- well it is a relationship. Good clients have ongoing relationships with consultants. Those consultants are actively working to maintain that relationship because -- well they are good clients.

To put it another way, it is a mistake to assume the market is inefficient and there is a trove of good clients who cannot find consultants. There might be, but that would just be dumb luck.

Without clients you don't have a business. Finding clients is hard work. Harder than doing what they want.

Looking for hacks is easier than finding clients. That's why it is attractive. It's also why it is not work. There's not some step before finding clients. Looking for hacks is turning a Y problem into an XY problem.

The problem is no network. The way to build an network is to build a network. The way to find to find local clients is to find local clients. If those are activities you are avoiding, my best advice is to find something else to do. There's nothing wrong with that. Everyone isn't cut out for the work that is involved.

Finding clients is both necessary and sufficient for having a consultancy. If you can do that, you can hire technical talent to execute.

Good luck.
If you change the specs, people expect your SKU to change. Don't call it the SN550 anymore. Call it the SN551.

Yeah, I think the point that @setpatchaddress was trying to make was that the author is confusing the color of the monitor itself with the color prescribed by the software. Thus, take the accuracy of the entire article with a big grain of salt. That's how I understood the comment....

Monochrome monitors were often either green or amber or white. If the monitor used P1 Phosphor, then it was green, P3 Phosphor was amber, and P4 Phosphor was white. So the color of the text on the screen was a reflection of the hardware spec/design, not of the software.

Yahoo shuts down news sites in India over FDI regulations
This is an excellent way to describe it.

I’ve definitely had times in my life with both modes.

There is very much a lifestyle trap in which the current work culture prevents a truly balanced approach.

I suspect one of the barriers to having a reduced work week is the cost of employee benefits. Companies want to get their money’s worth for every employee on payroll. So the options for reduced work hours are somewhat limited. If you make 75k a year, it seems every extra dollar beyond that has less value per unit of time spent to earn it. I would rather work 20-30hrs a week for half of my salary but there aren’t any employers who like that idea, nor is it easy to do the consultant/contractor thing as a solo contributor who only puts in 20-30hrs.

Personally my response (intentionally or not) has been to leave roles when I’m feeling burnt out, take some time off, learn some new skills to boost my market value, and then rinse and repeat.

Climeworks and Carbon Engineering, at least, are based on fairly old tech. Waiting for big improvements in the lab doesn't seem like the best bet.

Meanwhile, it's generally true that the more you make of something, the cheaper you learn to make it, and that appears to hold true here:

I'm slightly worried about all the other stuff they mentioned. Sure less red tape is nice, but it's a fine line between less box-ticking and simply no protection at all.

There's no meaningful construction beyond fitting the thought into 17 syllables.
