On the face of it, this can't be true in all cases. Even Radio can be used to incite violence. A much less imersive medium.

Games influence culture. The modern permissiveness to "punch a Nazi" has been very well conditioned and permitted. Often in games. "Nazi" can be easily redefined to include modern political opponents, at anytime in the future.

This is often done to hire H1b applicants. You run the local applicants through an interview that ends up with them even if they are qualified not taking the job then go and hire the H1b that you really wanted because the H1b is then dependent upon you for staying the United States. You can now hold that over the person and anything you want they have to do like working 100 hours a week.
A year ago in my country, vaccine passports were very much a conspiracy theory, and back in 2020, our PM assured us they wouldn't be coming. [1] A year later, as the GP mentioned, this has instead become the standard to expect going forward. [2]. Exactly what they described has happened, something which was once considered an irrational fear of libertarians has become reality.

We have several business organizations, oriented around different product offerings in the same service. So there is an organizational complexity that I think might lend itself to the architecture team being involved in contributing to, supporting, and executing a cohesive strategy across those products and organizations is another area where I've wanted to see us more involved. Unfortunately, it has been somewhat difficult positioning ourselves into a role where we can be proactive and lead rather than simply reactionary.
afaik fdupes is super slow because it checksums entire files in order to find duplicates. This causes a ton of unnecessary IO if you have a lot of size collisions.

The efficient way to do things is to just read files in parallel and break once they diverge. Basically how `cmp` works.

I also think elimination of busywork, automation of work, and similar things that make "We rely on people's work to get materials, build and heat homes, grow and distribute food. Society is built upon contribution." an obsolete statement are definitely the path to sustainable UBI. Generally this falls into the techno-utopianism viewpoint.

Apart from needing those technologies to exist before being able to claim them as reasons there won't be a labor shortage with UBI this is still completely independent of rich people existing today without causing a labor shortage. Perhaps it's a funding source to prove out things like automation by redistributing said wealth but the existence of said wealth in the hands of a few is not prove lack of labor in all is sustainable. To do that you must actually prove the alternative means of production out - regardless if the wealthy exist.

If you have an iPad, Deutsche Grammophon's apps are a great intro to the intellectual and emotional complexity and nuance of some key classical works. They have apps for Beethoven's 9th, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, and Liszt's Sonata.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/beethovens-9th-symphony/id6019...

With Beethoven's 9th, while you are listening it visually syncs the original manuscript and score, a visualization of where in the orchestra different instruments are playing, and includes analysis of the performance and intention of the parts. It also lets you switch between four different performances of the 9th by the Berliner Philharmoniker, so you can compare and contrast interpretations over the years.

Highly recommended!
I've worked with several engineering architecture and software architecture teams.

The "old" architecture model is very top-down: architects (who were software devs/sysadmins a long time ago and haven't pushed a commit in >6mo) push top-down designs for large-scale systems that engineers (usually outsourced or entry-level) implement. This model works when most of the "doers" are entry-level but comes with a huge "you don't know what you don't know" disadvantage. It is very easy to read RFCs and docs for protocols and languages (repsectively) and surmise how things should work, but it's a whole other ball game when you _actually have to make them work_.

The "new" model that I've seen come up is closer to internal consulting than "ivory tower." In the new model, architects (who are very much software and/or systems engineers) are "assigned" to teams to help them achieve a particular mission, like migrating them onto a corporate build and release framework or helping them release their greenfield application into "Production". They will either pair with engineers during these missions or they will take items directly from their backlog (at a lower velocity than the devs on the team, of course) and push commits themselves.

I much prefer the "new" model to the "old" model.

Yep Win98 SE was a local maxima for performance/stability. For the WinNT line, I used 3.51 for as long as I could, before giving in to Win2k and later for laptop support.
Actually - I've found the "elegant properly engineered code" a total NIGHTMARE to deal with. Reflection, endless hierarchies, complexity on complexity.

The PHP script kid basically writes a linear program (tons of duplication) with no crazinesses. Yes, it's "low quality", but if you do a few function out refactorings you've got something very easy to work with.

I just wish there was a standard template - access check, runtime complexity at code comment at top of function (ie, O(1), O(n), O(n^2)) some reasonable comments, error handling, done. Throw in some unit tests if desired.

Personal advice from going on and giving a total of at least a hundred job interviews in my years:

- no matter how desperate the situation, always treat an interview as a date -- you might meet some really interesting people, you might hear some interesting things, learn how different people think about problems. Or it might really suck and you can't wait to leave. This attitude works amazingly well. If you are happy to be there and talk, you'll have a good time, they'll have a good time, they'll like you, you win.

- always think about how would YOU interview yourself. What info is useful for you to interview someone for 30 minutes and make a decision. Shadow some interviews. Your literal job as an interviewer is to get an understanding of the candidate. If you know what they want to know, just focus every word on giving them that answer. Any interview I ran where everything I was gonna follow up the interviewer mentioned intentionally, I was like "wow, okay cool you really answered everything I wanted to know, let's move on" and those interviews are really the best with time to just chit chat and get to know the person. This is also useful for understanding why they ask you questions, asking clarifying questions to make sure that you understand what they're looking to get out of you. There's nothing worse than losing 5 minutes to someone talking about something completely pointless during a 30 minute interview. "Tell me about a time you failed." "Oh I have plenty of those, but are you looking for say a failure with my team, or a time I crashed production, or when a project got really late" doing such a prompt instantly makes the question easier for you AND makes you look 100x better.

- coding is a tricky one. 90% of the companies want you to code an okay solution, but they mainly want to see how you _think_. Like who cares if I can sort a billion numbers in memory in O(1) time, write a paper and move on with life, if I can't explain it to anyone I am useless to the team. Code out loud, just slowly solve whatever problem, and talk about the problems you're trying to tackle, what is important, what is not. If you mumble make sure to create "okay, I have a solution, I can walk you through it" because mumbling = they disengage. If you explain your strategy, it makes you look better AND if your strategy is flawed, the interviewer will often help or prompt "I really want to help but this is what I really want you to solve" and now their cards are on the table, you know what they want (see previous point).

- learn to whiteboard at least a bit. You need to be able to explain your thoughts to other engineers. Sometimes pulling out a whiteboard is an amazing way to do it. Yeah its cliche but it really is a practical skill.

- If the interview requires you to solve a complex mathematical problem perfectly on the spot or get out, you're either interviewing for FAANG (and have studied for a month or 3) or you probably don't wanna work there.

My problem is simply the loose definition. Kate Brown didn't even say that much, I don't think. But if that's the metric, it should be easy enough to say so, and define it. E.g. "When ICU bed occupancy is below 90% and has declined for three consecutive weeks, the mandate is lifted."

I think many people would quibble less about the mandates if they weren't open-ended.

Hmm, after looking at that, and always being told that airlines are the safest. I was surprised they are only safest by that one metric (fatalities / distance) and not fatalities per trip or fatalities per hour.

The conditions the Japanese Supreme War Council (made up of the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister, the Minister of War, the Minister of the Navy, and the Chiefs of the Army and Navy General Staffs; the only higher authority was the Emperor) were willing to accept were:

1. The Emperor continued unmolested as the head of state,

2. Japan was responsible for its own disarmament,

3. There would be no occupation, and

4. Japan would conduct its own war crime trials.

Show HN: Background noise removal SDK for audio
Hi HN,

We built a new SDK for removing background noise in audio: https://getutterly.com. It works much better than the built-in options available in Zoom, Teams and Hangouts and covers a wide range of background noises. Best of all it runs on CPU in real-time, so that you can use it in your audio communication apps. You can check out the noise coverage demo here: https://www.utterly.app/#demo.

The integration is simple - you only need two lines of code integrate the SDK into your app. We currently support any audio API, including WebRTC. If you are interested, please feel free to reach out to us!

Indeed, would be different. Nobody understands the large scale interplay of an evolving virus in presence of monoculture vaccine. What today is a godsend could prove to be a downside tomorrow. Are we supposed to never consider worse case scenarios because we have a solution right now that even its producer admits is subject to future risks?

The intuition struggles. In modern era we have deployed monocultures at scale, from industrialized agriculture to industrialized forestry, at great detriment to a healthy ecosystem and perennial at risk of pests.

As of Ivermectin, clinicians reached for it in hope of anti-inflamatory properties. Note how we are sniping at each other using gargantuan strawmen. Instead, perhaps researchers / clinicians could figure out ways boost the Ivermectin signal, as small as it is, and perhaps turn it into a useful tool.
To borrow a question from Burry - do you know how much leverage is in crypto?

I did the tqqq historical comparison on yahoo finance and explored it for all dates after roughly October 2017 and for most
Buy in dates it outperformed. Selecting 2019 is pretty adverse since the collapse happened in 2018, so you exclude a giant range of down only days.

Prior to late 2017 Bitcoin clearly outperformed. However the fact they’re competitive at all for the last 5 years says a lot when the narrative is that there’s no way to win in traditional finance. Quite false, you just have to find a vehicle that aligns with your risk tolerance. And if you set it to “holy moly that’s risky” like every crypto investment then similar or better returns are very achievable.

Thanks for your clarifications!

My point is more, are we early to the space? Maybe. Does that make it a good investment? Nobody can possibly know. Being early to Betamax did nobody any good. Will any particular coin or chain or technology win? Who knows. If it wins will it be valuable? Who knows! For it to win, it will by definition have to be in reach of the average individual so if you can match your ROI in an established market why on earth wouldn’t you? Also #nfa lol.

I’ll be sitting on the sidelines making comparable returns without having to worry about which rock JPEG is going to make my kids inheritance haha.

Currently the Google trends data on bitcoin is pancaking, the price is going up appatently, on basically zero volume, and the leading liquidity provider coin in the space (USDT) received DOJ target letters for all its executives for committing bank fraud.

No. Your call goes to its "Call Forward – No Answer" destination, which by default is your carrier's voicemail system (it can be changed through some obscure keypad code).

I have a personal policy of actively sending people to voicemail if I can't or don't want to talk to them, mostly because I feel like making them wait 30s to find that out is a little callous.
I dunno, I think health food fad diets have done far more to move that needle than actual vegans. The idea that meat is bad to eat because it's "bad for you" is pretty distinct to me from the moral arguments most vegans are interested in. I'd honestly expect the number of people out there who use soy milk instead of normal milk because they heard "fat is bad" or "lactose is bad" alone easily outweigh even loosely defined vegans.

(likewise, vegans frequently get blamed for labour issues involved in production of superfoods like quinoa but I'm pretty sure the vast majority of people eating those are doing so with no interest at all in completely eliminating animal food sources from their own diets, let alone from the entire culture)
So you don't ruin the slide
> Of course it's not merely talking about how society treats women. The comment was:

> "Women get away with too much in society"

> The obvious assertion here is that women actively and routinely engage in problematic behavior and are able to get away with it. It's framed in a way that directly attributes willfulness to women and casts them as holding some power that they're abusing in society writ large.

_Every_ identity group has people who "actively and routinely engage in problematic behavior". Being a shitty person is an equal-opportunity personality trait. Given this premise, "getting away with it" refers primarily to society's handling of these transgressions.

> To whatever degree there are pockets of "protection" women enjoy, it pales in comparison to the sum of those areas in which they've had to struggle for equality.

I suppose this is a matter of disagreement. I'm not making any claim as to who wins the "net suffering" race (not should there be such a race), but it's extremely trivial to think of historical and current examples of gender roles cutting against men, and not in trivial ways: violence, torture, conscription, murder, physical and dangerous labor, unjust incarceration, etc etc etc. For a specific, concrete example: the evidence of gender discrimination in the legal and carceral system is infinitely stronger than it is for racial discrimination.

The framing your comment takes is that we can't even talk about things like male rape being underplayed due to women's halo effect because it "distracts" from the fight for women's rights. I'm soundly rejecting this framing; in fact, I find it utterly revolting and dehumanizing. It pits identity groups against each other, at the expense of victims and others who need help. Any model of the world rooted in basic human empathy should understand each gender-based injustice as its own tragedy, and acknowledging a male rape victim's suffering under gender roles doesn't detract from understanding a woman suffering under different gender roles.
I run a free hand-curated concert calendar in NYC[0] with a friend. It's all operated manually and we still end up with 15-20 great shows every night. If this were automated or scraped, you'd have 250 events on your calendar per day.

Sure it might work if you just pick one venue, or a handful of artists. But it's not particularly helpful since you'll either be overwhelmed by spam (venue shows you're not interested in) or you'll inevitably be missing out on a lot of great events (since you're filtering on very specific parameters).

On our app, you can swipe on any show to add it to your phone's calendar instantly. 60 seconds daily or a few minutes each week and you can build your own subset calendar from our already curated calendar. It's honestly very efficient and low-tech.

I do subscribe to some remote calendars like my favorite sports team (NBA provides per-team calendar URLs). If you're in a smaller town with just a few venues, I bet you could do that too. For the privacy-conscious among us, you can always route them through Cloudflare Workers pretty easily.

Pretty sure Candy Crush has such a team of PhD's though. Not all games, but the big games definitely do.

You can read about it here from their own page:

> That experiment is typical of how we learn from data at King. We have about 150 people working in data roles, out of a total workforce of 2,000. They come from a range of backgrounds. Many are from the games industry, of course, but we also bring in lots of recruits straight from university.

> These people will have just done their masters or PhD in a wide range of disciplines. Many of our team studied statistics, physics or computer science but we also have people who came from theoretical biology because work on DNA sequencing in that field has produced a lot of data-sophisticated people. Others are behavioural psychologists or behavioural economists.

Now in the specific example they choose to highlight they saw that making the game less frustrating made people spend more money. However if making the game more frustrating turned out to make more money since users bought more powerups then they absolutely would do it.
