Generic ideological disputes like this subthread already are off-topic for HN because they're predictable, tedious, and usually turn nasty. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...

I would say what crosses the line into flamewar is when it's combined with denunciatory language. What you posted wasn't nearly as bad as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28350724, but "I'm soundly rejecting this framing; in fact, I find it utterly revolting and dehumanizing" definitely counts, and in any case it takes two to tango.

The proper thing for this entire subthread would have been to flag it at the root (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28350724 - yes I know that was posted by someone else) and move on.
Played rugby (college and usa d1 mens club) and American football in highschool.

I've never felt like I got my bell rung (severe impact) as much as I did in American football.

That said, I do feel like between the drinking culture of rugby, and the small impacts of tackling and going to ground, I certainly did some damage.

> I’ve run into this problem with people who use a lot of twitter. They would keep asking me to “state my position”, and also demand it to be about 1 sentence long. The problem being…I don’t usually have a “position”, but rather I have a set of things which haven’t yet been proven false.

It's like choosing between two bad options at a restaurant. Then you suggest going to a completely different restaurant and all you get is blank stares, like you suggested something they can't imagine. Quite like the "NPC" meme that was deemed so "problematic"

Reminds me of Yann LeCun quitting Twitter [0] after basically getting mobbed by "AI ethicists" (you'll recognize some names in the article...). Yann, of course, responded with explanations and technical expertise but realized at some point he was battling with a non-technical crowd that were trying to turn the conversation into identity politics.

I have to keep Chromium around not just for testing in it, but also to make certain purchases, reservations, etc, because some sites just fail to work in regular Firefox, even with enhanced protection off. Not many, maybe 0.1%, but in a pinch there's no other way than to fire up MISE^W Chromium.
The focus on programmers as the vanguard of the remote work trend distracts from what could be the real change the outsourcing of white collar work.

Why do we need our lawyers, accountants, human resources and other back office employees to be American when Chilean workers will do those jobs for half or a quarter the pay?

What outsourcing did to manufacturing jobs, remote work may do to white collar jobs.
The Proportion of Original Movies to Sequels, Visualized
The vast, vast majority of life today has gone extinct. I don't know how to quantify that, and it's possibly a close call for Homo viewed in isolation.

Obviously, the growth of Homo required other taxa to be consumed, since man don't feed on inorganic material. The principle of entropy guaranties that this equation holds even if inorganic input and outout into an arbitrarily defined system of organisms is considered.

It simply doesn't make sense to view living beings as either open systems without a clear boundary (and I don't mean cell walls), or as closed systems to the extent of inclusing ev-ery-thing.At best you have defined living being as open system that is "growing", but then you have excluded cancer already, as though any system were only open if in principle fungible for man.

You have completely missed that growth ad infinitum is problem, not re-growth.

The arcane versions of those units have meaning only within the circle of people that actually understand them. Which makes them fairly useless other than for the purpose of being pedantic, wowing or misleading people. For the laymen, kilo means 1000, mega means 1000000 and giga means 1000000000. Having gamed on a machine when I was young that only had 64 * 1024 * 8 bits, I can appreciate the order of magnitudes here. Slightly over 0.5 megabit. But still. Who actually cares when a mobile phone might transmit that in a few ms (i.e. a few thousandths of a second).
I still think Banksy is not a real "person". It's just a team of marketers who started a prank or dare and it turned into this internationally beloved money printing scam.

on a tangent: the effect described there that a helmet hinders taking up biking certainly applies to me. A friend gifted me a bike helmet (i always cycle 20km to him) and when I tried it out, it sucked all my joy out of biking and I thought: huh, taking the train would be more fun. I realized that it doesn't make sense to take the train just because I don't like the helmet and went on biking without it. However, I also don't like headsets with noise-cancelling and there must be something with my head/ears or something that's different from most (?) people so my suggestion for everyone else: at least try a helmet. But if you don't like it, don't stop biking just because (unless your city has no respect for bikers, then don't bike at all).
Erika Came for the Legos
If my company insists I return to working onsite, I'm gone.

If my company insists on a pay cut in exchange for remaining remote, I'm gone.

If my company insists on having video on all the time so they can watch me, I'm gone.

I'm not negotiating. I own my house and car outright, my property taxes aren't that high, and I could retire now if I wanted. The only reason I'm still on the job is that I can always find a use for more money. However, if my company fucks with me, I'll ghost on the spot. The only reason I haven't is that—to their credit—they've always dealt fairly with me thus far.

Except that automatic (or forced) updating totally breaks the "Just working" mantra. I've learned to dread every update that comes down the pike. It's quite a change from the old days when updates were something that you generally looked forward to (and could ignore if the particular update made your experience worse in some important way).
What exactly is the TPM providing the end user?

Protection from some attackers, maybe, but centralizing all of their secrets into a single location that may very well be backdoored. Why can't I use my own private key in a TPM? Who else has the private key in my TPM?
HAHAH yes, I know -- I just didnt have a better example protocol... TCP is "ensuring the traffic gets there" -- not so much "ensuring no collisions" that was why I chose that one.

Maybe BGP instead? "Route failed - go this way instead, as a backup"
I'm in awe at how my ancestors managed to survive every war, plague, famine, and natural disaster on Earth. And, that my non human ancestors survived every single mass extinction.

I look at the difficulties of my own pleasant life and feel a little ashamed, to be honest. My ancestors managed to survive and reproduce through ALL OF THAT, and I can't because of some social anxiety? It's a little sobering, for me at least.

I think that would fall under "tinkering on the margins" as the person you replied to phrased it.

An example of a more systemic change would be elimination of any head-to-head impacts that might occur between defense and offensive linemen on any given play.

How do you work to eliminate those without changing the game into something unrecognizable?
I work on a platform that provides its subscribers with a store for 1st and 3rd party apps/solutions built on that platform.

Every app delivered on this store must go through the same review process whether it's internally built or not. This has led to healthy innovation on the app store and deep empathy for the 3rd party developer.

To be fair, it is possible to ship components that are part of the core platform outside of this mechanism, but I think just having one subset of internal development go through the same review/approval channels as 3rd party apps has been very positive for our developer community.

I'd love to see the same thing here.
Quite correct, but I would add that a necessary skill is also in being able to herd cats with a high turnover workforce that is made up with a high percentage of semi-functional addicts and/or flakes.

Windows 11 (the insider builds) are very buggy. I'm usijg w11 on two machines: MSI with 7th generation CPU, and Lenovo Thinkpad e14 with 10th generation CPU and they both have serious issues. The MSI have an audio driver issue where I have this noise from the speakers coming in constantly and the only way is to disable the audio driver. Thinkpad issue is even more annoying. Thinkpad won't shutdown or even sleep. It always auto reboots! And it's very annoying! I would have to fully drain the battery for the laptop to shutdown and I know that will be very disastrous on the laptop.

Indeed. In a competitive sport there should be a way to evaluate result to determine standings.

If ironing is just about extra bulk of equipment not the actual product of ironing, then it's more like weight-added competition. Otherwise there needs to be some way of judging the ironing aspect, like quality, novelty, or artistic merit, in addition to the otherwise difficulty, like in figure skating, for example.

But just for fun - everything is sport. In the line of "everything and the kitchen sink", how about extreme dish-washing!

Controversial is by nature not a very clear category. How will the journal differentiate merely controversial papers from submissions that are various shades of unscientific, incorrect, or in bad faith?

People will submit creationist flat earther HEP theories-of-everything that explain why conservation of energy is optional and climate change is a conspiracy.
Obviously, you want to reject those, or your journal's content will taken as seriously as internet forum conspiracy theories.

But all controversial ideas are divisive by nature. On any controversial topic, there will be people who think the idea is obviously wrong, no better than the flat earth, not worth the paper it's printed on.

And on the other hand, the people who defend their ideas the most vigorously can be the least interesting. Trying to reject, say, flat earther theories by proving them wrong is an endless fight, where every second spent fighting is your loss.

So, on what grounds can you reject papers, without immediately falling back on the generally accepted scientific consensus; the same that is used to reject all controversial idea?

>They have argued consistently that perfect pitch is not a dichotomous ability that people either have or do not have: Instead, it may be better thought of as a continuous spectrum.

Yes, in more ways than is mentioned in an article.

I have no problem naming pitches (played on any instrument) for notes around the middle third of the piano, but I'd be as hopeless as anyone else for the most extreme notes.

I can immediately pick out two-note chords in my range, but three or more notes requires I rely on a bit of thinking about relative pitch and chord theory.

I can reliably tune an A440 to within 2 cents, but I doubt I could get some other arbitrary note to within 20.

There are AP possessors out there, though, who do all of the things I can't as effortlessly as I do the things I can. I've seen demonstrations of true, "one-in-a-billion" savants doing mind-boggling things like immediately naming every note in bizarre 15-note chords.

I don't know that eliminating the risk is a feasible goal. Reducing the highest risk parts of the game is feasible.

But things like reducing the number of players on the field, making periods shorter, increasing time between games (or reducing games per season), and putting playtime caps (at least at lower levels) would statistically reduce risk without making things unrecognizable.

NFT's really confuse me.

Take the Mona Lisa for example: if the Louvre were ever to make their own NFT (perhaps with some embedded proof it was them creating it), wouldn't the "stolen" one suddenly lose all value?

I get NFTs from the perspective of "proof that you were first person able to claim a thing because you made it," and that having value. But claiming other peoples stuff seems like it's just going to correct itself.
Professional software development relies on the infrastructure of childhood STEM producing new scientists, so there’s going to be a trickle down effect from whatever happens with the startup sector. Even if over 18 year olds signing contracts can waive their liability, high schoolers can’t. And mounting scientific evidence about the risk of pressure to succeed in the sciences is going to cause it’s own liability issues for the schools hosting the subjects, such as the many suicides of engineering students who are overwhelmed with pressure to succeed.

Anecdotally, more than 1 engineering student has killed themself, affected by their repeated challenges in engineering school, and has discussed their challenges at the lunch table about how to throw back a "drink" at the start of the night so they could still allow themselves to continue after a serious reprimand by their PI.

NFL primarily sources from collegiate football, not high school. In fact, there is a strict rule a player must be 3 year out of high school before being drafted. If you have a problem with the way collegiate football recruits children, perhaps it is best to start there.
This really depends on how you look at it. On an absolute inflation-adjusted dollars-per-person-per-year basis, rather than a relative / percentage basis, GDP growth over the last decade has been substantially higher than that of the 1950s. Even 2% of $55,000 is still greater than 7% of $15,000... https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/NYGDPPCAPKDUSA
What fascinates me about this topic is that both "absolute pitch" and "absolute colour recognition" is essentially cultural.

We are born with perfect pitch but lose it when we don't use it. How our culture uses and names colour determines which we can perceive absolutely.

The point is they're more similar than they seem.

In California, if you can't get fire insurance through the private market, you generally have access to the FAIR Plan (https://www.cfpnet.com/about-fair-plan/). As the about page points out, it's not taxpayer funded - instead, companies writing home insurance in the state are required to contribute towards a share of risk in the plan.
Moving the goalposts is a fun game, but not helpful in this situation.

Ask HN: Responsible Discolure Without Compensation
I recently discovered a security vulnerability on a SaaS that my university uses. They do not have a bug bounty program (I asked) and, reasonably enough, they want me to responsibly disclose it.

I am not going to do anything malicious with the vulnerability and I will responsibly disclose it. However, I am in a humanities PhD with very low earning potential after I graduate and, right now, I have no real income as a student (apart from minimum wage on campus employment).

Is it just me or is it unreasonable for a SaaS to expect responsible disclosure without compensating me?

Well, possibly, but - _that's_ what's bothering you? Not how the US kills a lot of people? Supports dictatorships and oligarchies? And internally, caters to the rich much more than to the masses, so much so that drinking water is dangerous to drink in many places? How it spies on everyone all the time?

I've said it before here, but I'll say it again: from the outside looking in this seems to be an ailment affecting the Amiga community more than retro communities. On other retro machines so much is open sourced or rewritten now, but on the Amiga there seems to be some fantasy that people are going to be making money there. Lots of proprietary closed stuff.

I mean, MiST/MiSTer comes out of the Atari ST community, for example. That's what it was originally designed for, an ST core, and all the vhdl is open source.
I used to think this quote is annoying and stupid - when you have a single clock, you always trick yourself into thinking that the time is """correct""", but when you have two you'll usually be confident within a margin of error. This is why the International Atomic Time is derived by averaging many atomic clocks, or how NTP gets time from multiple servers.

But on second thought, it can also interpreted as such: in a large synchronous system, it's often important to have a standard reference clock and to lock all the other clocks onto main clock, otherwise the system can be inconsistent due to timing problems, e.g. distributing a frequency reference in a lab, distributing the clock signal on a circuit board, or distributing standard wall clock time via NTP (the Stadium 1/2/3 hierarchy). So the quote makes perfect sense again.
This is the problem with a lot of Intel ventures; once did a prototype with Intel's Edison embedded processors only for them to cancel the line.
