I really hate when people compare normal environmental stimuli that come in through our senses to highly addictive drugs that directly modulate our brain's mechanisms of determining salience and want.

It's damaging to perpetuate this no matter how common of a new wives tale it is.
Same, i only buy cows milk for certain baking recipes at this point. Oat Yeah (which i think is just a silk brand) has been my favorite I've found. It doesn't taste quite the same as cows milk which i am more than okay with.
I'm thinking that I can use the server as a high bandwidth cache for large files; I'd schedule uploads overnight to the server and then make them available to myself + others who have asymmetric connections.

A lot of what I'm moving that is datasets for machine learning projects: which can be 100s of GBs of images/videos.

If you need to work with a part of a string, you can make two ordinary integer variables for offset and length
Maybe I'm just unlucky with brand/batch but I found the opposite: oat milk I bought that was specifically marketed as being ideal for coffee has a rank, salty taste and frankly I'd rather drink or mix something obviously different but pleasant like coconut or almond milk

There are still plenty of non-garbage games if you wade out further than AAA.

My friend group played Valheim a few months ago and it was spectacular (for the weekend anyways). It's a great game to lose your self in the environments and doesn't have any IAP rubbish.
The rates of rule breaking and law breaking are much higher in China than they are in the West.

One of my goals if I were in charge of the Chinese government would be to get that rate down by making what rules and laws I introduce easy to enforce (and easy to understand and to follow).

In particular, if I were going to impose this kind of ban, I would've made it apply to everyone, not just under-18s. Well, actually, I would've made 2 tiers of restrictions, the looser tier allowing more hours per week, so that if a boy escapes the stricter tier of restrictions (e.g., by signing in with the credentials of an adult in his life) he still has some limits on how much he can play.
The issue with remote unlock is that someone can enter the vehicle while it is off and wait inside.

They see the effects that gaming has on children in neighboring countries, Japan and Korea, to the point that WHO added "Gaming disorder" as a disease and considers the addictive properties of video games, as well as monetization of that addiction to be a growing concern.

For various reasons, the issue is not nearly as prevalent in the U.S. or Europe but it's a pretty big issue across Asia.

Is this the right way to curb it? Absolutely not, the government should look to find the root causes of the addiction, mostly social in nature, and promote healthy alternatives, but like most things the government is more interest in easy and short term solutions.

>I wouldn’t be able to pass a whiteboard interview.

What the people who insist on giving these interviews don't realize is they are extremely hackable most of the time. The people who give them often aren't bothered to make up their own tests, so they go to the google and type "whiteboard interview questions for bla bla." I suggest you do the same and study up.

Not at all, just curious if you're consistent. Maybe we should ban listening to "harmful" music? Hell, let's ban playing instruments all together. Unless you're playing Christian rock of course.
> Definitely most cases are what you describe but doesn't being pessimistic about every announcement kill innovation in the long run?

Perhaps. That, however, is probably not a solvable problem. It's trivial to come up with a list of reasons that something will not work/cannot be made to work. And there are many cases of inventors creating something that many other previous inventors failed to create.

If it can be done and it's worth being done, someone will ignore the pessimists and do it. Maybe the pessimists will reduce the amount of competition that their life-changing creation has to contend with, and maybe it'll turn out to really be a life-changing invention. That'll be life changing for the inventor and possibly the pessimist who now gets to benefit from this impossible creation.

All of that, aside, for us -- the consumer -- it's nice to know how likely a product like this is to actually become a reality in the next few years, and I specifically came to HN to find out why the press release was trash, frankly. To the inventor, it's sometimes helpful to not be aware of what is impossible so that you can accidentally discover it isn't... or maybe it is, but exploring that more deeply reveals something about a "possible" design that is an improvement.
Lab-grown meat (and presumably lab-produced milk) are going to be a different sort of product than Morning Star patties or Pea Milk. Lab-grown meat would be meat, not merely some thing that is vaguely meat-like.

I really like soy milk and almond milk, but they remain twice as expensive as milk and distinct in taste.

I'm not sure anyone thinks that lab-grown meat will go through the roof if it's not cheaper than farm-grown meat.
I also get ideas reading. Which, really, makes me a bad reader because I get distracted.
I don't think that's a novel idea, nor does "rewilding" significantly improve CO2 capture.

While new growth of forests does temporarily capture CO2, forests become carbon neutral within a couple decades.

Also, growing meat AT SCALE, is still entirely theoretical - let alone assuming it will be cheaper.
Love oat milk, specifically Silk's Oat Yeah!

I think it's a good replacement. Since I eat a lot of _replacement_ foods, you kind of learn that you don't need that 100% to appreciate it for what it is. It's all learned taste.

I usually drink my coffee black, but a long time ago I made the switch to soy milk, and after a while it became natural in coffee. Oat latte's are pretty great too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but unlike bitcoin many of these games are played online in a centralized way, so China could even forward these regulations to these online services so they could enforce them themselves (if they want to continue being legally available).
Remember we're talking about a totalitarian regime, where using real IDs for digital accounts is already a thing. Where importing unapproved foreign media is (presumably) banned. Where you can't so much as get a VPN without permission.

Not sure why you're getting downvoted, there's something to this comment. Western Europe is where Judeo-Christian values married up with Greek and Roman societal models and produced (yes, there are obvious exceptions like religion) democracy, free speech, and capitalism. I also understand that this particular statement is a blanket statement open to nuance and is partially incorrect, but it's mostly correct. However in very recent times (hate speech mandates) this seems to be changing.
What do you think of bags of milk as sold in parts of Canada? If you google "canada milk bag" you will see what I'm talking about.

It's still a single-use plastic, but is a pretty small amount. I wonder how the energy and water consumption for milk bags vs cleaning and sterilizing and refilling glass bottles compare?
> It should be up to the parents, not the government.

I mean, isn't this what Korean and Japan's policies effectively are as well? Doesn't seem to help much.

Children were not raised in isolation with two parents for most of history, an entire community was looking out for them as well that was incapable of being overwhelmed with that responsibility partially owing to higher child/birth mortality rates. But now we've put the onus of rearing functioning adults on precisely two people whose own personality and parenting traits are widely variable to begin with, if not influenced by the side effects of this two parent only viewpoint themselves.
In the EU, people are switching over in droves - to the point that the dairy lobby got a law passed that they cannot be called milk, and cannot be advertised in ways evocative of milk.
Where does Not Milk fit in here?
Not saying this is a good thing (in fact I think it's a silly rule), but: kids in the western world have their 'freedoms' restricted all of the time. There are plenty of things that kids can't participate in or see. Those are mandated by various levels of the state, for the safety/benefit of the child (ostensibly).

And parents are constantly adjusting the things their kids can or can't do, often requiring kids to ask permission to do most things. Its a way of protecting them from their immature decision making ability (with functional parents anyway).

So I think the aversion is more based on the surprise that it seems to go 'further' than we'd expect in the west, and politics/culture turns that into something to criticize the CPC (or whatever governing body responsible) for because COMMUNISTS!!!
In a large enterprise, you have to be really passnionate about a new technology to get it approved through a series of excrutiatingly long review process while also working on your assigned projects. Nobody will mind or question your decision if you choose to use MS SQL or Oracle for KV stores because they are corporate standards. Presenting a new technology like Redis requires one to prepare documents for backup, failover , load balancing, support,iniciden management process anlong with a slew of security related reviews. Did I mention that all this while you are also responsible for staying on to of your JIRA tasks ? And even if you do get this technology certified, it means almost nothing on your bonus or yearly review.

So yes .. one has to be a "fan" to push new techologies or vendors like RedisLabs in the enterprise. And yes, the process will make you a tad annoyed.
Could you elaborate?

The average (over 24 hours) temperature yesterday was 25˚C. You could certainly ask how that compares to other August 29ths in different years.

> I wonder how Blizzard is feeling about throwing in with the CCP right about now

I'm wondering how many foreign investors in the Chinese market are feeling right now. They were warned over and over again, and continued to invest with the promise of short-term gains. This exact lack of foresight caused the 2008 financial crisis and will continue to cause many other financial disasters in the future.

A few good rules I've heard are 1) Don't invest in a Country that won't easily give you a visa, 2) Only invest in Countries that have stable and accountable governments (democracies), 3) Diversify to prevent a single point of failure.

The same reason you cannot negotiate with the Taliban is the same reason you cannot reason with the CPP. You cannot reason with a state led purely by an ideology. Ultimately, push comes to shove, the ideology blindly comes first. If Capitalism fails at all but one thing, it's that it is able to admit it's own failures and adapt, even co-exist with other ideologies if allowed.

Where does this leave the HN startup? Consider investing locally into people and systems you can trust and understand. As some of the largest and oldest companies know, stability can be better in the long-run at the cost of profit margins.
> It's damaging to perpetuate this no matter how common of a new wives tale it is.

Probably not
Maybe people aren't switching over in droves but when I opened up my 21 yr. old daughter's fridge the other day she had oat, soy and almond milk in there but no dairy.

Personally, I like all the alternatives except soy but my goto remains 2% cow milk for my tea in the morning. All other uses I could switch to alternatives without too much pain.
What does “body measurements for an individual are specified” mean? Like body measurements on the size charts are specified? Those don’t tell one of the clothing will fit, only that there’s a possibility it will fit. And in reality the ranges they give are far too wide.

And one can specify their body measurements all they like, but it barely helps selecting a size online or even in store.
Good call. Perhaps I should have said newer.
Also, people with ethical concerns about killing cows > people with ethical concerns about drinking their milk
Adding a new hoop is the desired effect, and it does solve at least one problem. If you're at a tech company or some other org that interviews well, you might not have seen it yet.

Many devs are not good at their jobs. They mean well, but they can't solve basic problems without looking at stack overflow. And by "basic", I don't mean leetcode, I mean iterating over a collection.

> Anyone can trivially study and pass

Yes! At that point, I would know that the guy sitting next to me did at least some amount of studying of the fundamentals.
It's limited to the online game because the check is on server side rather than client (console/phone) side since it utilizes national ID data you provide when registering.
You have to move there. Even if you put it up front in your resume (they usually only read it 30 mins before they interview you). None of these companies want to hire from another state. As you can not 'start tomorrow'. Even though they will have these positions open for a year or more.

Be up front you about what you are doing. They are going to think 'he is going to jump at any time'.

Be willing to stay there awhile. But be warned some of these places there may be one to two 'big companies' that hire there (and if they do not hire you are SOL). There may be some small startups here and there. So plan on that. There may not be much to choose from there for you. It is why many move away from those areas. So if you are 'lucky' enough to get into one of the companies do not plan on jumping around a lot. You will burn bridges and the community of devs is small there, and they talk.

Be willing to dig into some seriously legacy code. "oh we still use sourcesafe and vb5". The Joel test is a good indicator of how strong they are. "oh we buy the best for our devs" and the computer on existing devs desks is some beige box from the late 2000s with a CRT.

Set your pay expectations much lower than what you are used to. Had one I was looking at, I was one of 3 people who applied. He passed me over because 'I was not in the same state'. I had 5 years 'full stack' exp on the exact type of system he was working on. After a bit of back and forth they wanted to pay nearly half of what I was looking for. Which was not terribly out of line for that area. Another dude thought he could snag me for 1/4th what I wanted. These guys can be cheap. They have a product someone tinkered together years ago. But they do not have enough income to really justify any sort of real work. So they do what they can and usually just farm it out to some consultant group.

Honestly keyless go is a clusterfuck. Cars are getting stolen all over the place. Police says to wrap keys in tinfoil.

It's not particularly obvious why insurers don't seem to care, though there have been some rulings where they didn't need to pay because stealing a car like this wasn't technically stealing under the insurance policy.

Very interesting. I've stopped drinking milk after moving to Northern Europe. In retrospect, the different type of casein probably played a role in this.

It is a pitty though that the only plant-based milk that comes close to the macronutrients profile of dairy milk comes from soy.
> PhD mathematician in industry here. The way I see it, foundations is to the rest of mathematics the way music theory is to music: it needs to be a describer, not a prescriber. (If I were less charitable I'd have said "ornithology is to birds").

That sounds nice, but breaks down when one thinks harder. Music is a little bit physical phenomena, a little more biological phenomena, and even more cultural phenomina. That's many layers at once, and theory has to conform to the evidence.

Math, is not science. This is no evidence external to reasoning. Different foundations / formal systems conclude different things.

At best, we can look at what matches existing working mathematicians mental heuristics and.....that's not ZFC, which admits all sorts of crap because it is untyped.

> On the contrary, ZFC has been a tremendous success in that most mathematicians don't need to worry about it at all.

That is how most mathematicians see it, but us in the type theory crowd see that as bad goalposts necessitated by the fact that ZFC is so clunky to work with --- of course one wants to declare mission accomplished and move on to other things as quickly as possible with a foundation like that.

Check out https://xenaproject.wordpress.com/ for a less heterodox approach, that nevertheless does use a type theoretical "user interface" and "kernel" (trusted foundation) for purely practical reasons. Basically, the idea is making making formalized mathematics not a huge burden necessitates a more ergonomic system than was needed 80 years ago without computers.

It turns out that this doesn't matter a lot of the time. You only notice because the advertising to you is bad - but once you can notice the money has already changed hands.

I've worked with people who work on what is variously called "data zombies" or "data shadows" or "data doubles" and the problem is that: they often get it wrong and they do not care and pretend it's correct. This is doubly-concerning in the security realm (i.e. the NSA is only supposed to read data streams of non-Americans so they have a lot of incentive to produce classifiers that guess that things are not from the US).
Alternative milks make up about ~10% of the US market according to this report [1].

Slight tangent, but since the changelog further down mentions both cifsd and ksmbd: For all I know cifs is supposed to be the older name for the same thing (ie an older protocol version). But just like in this case, I still frequently stumble across both terms when reading about/dealing with it. So, is there actually still a difference between those two terms?
I’ve been trying Not Milk recently and I’m pretty impressed. Its slightly sweeter than milk, but it seems to work fine with cooking.
I think milk substitutes are fine alternatives for drinking and cereal, but not baking/cooking. I don't know how much that matters.

But I do think in general people will buy whatever's cheapest, and it is an uphill battle against the many dairy assistance programs the government provides: https://www.ers.usda.gov/topics/animal-products/dairy/policy...

I dunno why this was downvoted. Most recruiters have no idea how to program and thus really aren't qualified to be more than a contracted HR person / keyword matcher. Their main qualification is they have a special account on monster and dice to post qualifications that the hiring company gave them.

There are exceptions, but they are rare, and they don't work for the big recruiting firms. They are just body pushers.

I can echo OP - have given a lot of presentations over the past year to blank screens. I used to enjoy presenting and thought it was one of my strengths, now I end every presentation with that sinking feeling like I bombed. Maybe I just need the feedback, but I also feel like I can tailor the presentation to the audience better if I pick up on body language in person. For example I may quickly gloss over a slide or spend ten minutes explaining the background depending on how the audience is keeping up.
I can see what problem they are trying to avoid, but this is treating symptoms and not problems. Why do so many young men in Japan and Korea (and heck, the West too although to a lesser degree) retreat from society into <insert vice here>? Narrow culture ideas of what "success" is, and personal relationships being dependent on reaching that definition of "success"? Lack of meaning found in career? Inability to find meaning in things outside of your career because there is no work-life balance?

The big difference is that those decisions are pushed to the parents and not the state. Minors are not fully mentally equipped to make some of the decisions that adults have the right/ability to make.
