The difference being you can't opt to be wealthy. I lean towards UBI myself but "a few rich in society can do it today" is a supporting argument against class division not for why UBI is a sustainable for society as a whole.

Yes I understand the difference between complex and simple carbs. Even if it doesn't matter very much I'd still rather avoid simple sugars.

For example, I'd rather buy Elmhurst Oat Milk (https://elmhurst1925.com/collections/plant-milks/products/un...) that uses a different process. It has fewer calories and zero added sugar.

If I wasn't trying to avoid simple sugars I might have never found out about Elmhurst so to me it is worth it just to find better products.
The position was described upfront on the application page, so you know what to expect. Also, some candidates took the initiative and asked questions. In fact it was even encouraged.

I wrote another post for another position later which has more juicy details like country breakdown

Somewhat related, In the interview, the first question I asked if the candidates had tried to sign up on the website and what they thought about it. It is not encouraging if a candidate had not tried to figure out the company product himself/herself at all.

I wonder if that also garbled market position messaging.

I seem to recall the store that became Macy's here was called three or four different names in the last 20 or 30 years.

Back when it was Broadway or Robinson-May, the store was in the "higher half" of the market, closer to Dillard's than Penney's, but now the gap is smaller. They can't rely on the (abandoned) name and positioning, and they didn't do a good job of positioning themselves as premium after the rebrand.

The same thing happened in fashion.

High fashion is always copying what the regular unfashionable people on the street are wearing, in the eternal search for authenticity.

Which is why things like bubble jackets, sweat pants, crocs and dad sneakers evolved from being laughed at to being very fashionable.
After being interviewed and interviewing the best course of action is have standardized exams akin to the GRE/GMAT, it's worked well for doctors, accountants and lawyers. Those professions are a lot older than software engineering.

And once you pick candidates, bring them on board and have your behavioral/cultural interview to judge if they are a good fit for your team.

Will save time for both interviewers and interviewees.
Thank you, I didn't know that so I learned something today!

This seems like quite a ridiculous problem since surely hormones could induce lactation. I did a quick search and stumbled onto this from 1994 where they had cows that lactated without being pregnant:

https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/milking-the-cattle-31995

So milk without killing calves has been available for quite some time. This probably coincided with bans on hormones in milk though (which I was all for) that happened in the 90s and early 2000s maybe? But people were never given the full story.

Maybe this could be a long-term sustainability/awareness project. Give cows hormones to simulate pregnancy and birth, then stop and sell the hormone-free milk for as many months as milking typically lasts.
Have a look at SLIMA for Atom[0].

> Navy Admiral William F. Halsey, Third Fleet commander, was quoted in the press as saying that the Japanese had been on the verge of surrunder before the atom bombs were dropped in the summer of 1945 and that the "atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment..."

I suspect that the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were as much to impress Stalin as for any other purpose.

At the time of the bombings, there were literally millions of battle-hardened Soviet troops in Eastern Europe. They were also commanded by very able generals (see Zhukov).

If Stalin wanted them to, they could have easily rolled west, and the American and British armies would have been no match for the Soviet Red Army.

However, the USA had the bomb. I think Hiroshima and Nagasaki were at least in part about demonstrating the awesome power of the atomic bomb to Stalin and forestalling any temptation he might have to continue west.

One should really read "Collapse of Complex Societies" by Joe A. Tainter. He's an archeologist who has a very timeless view of collapse based on diminishing marginal returns on societal complexity. A lot of the collapse theories that get a lot of ink are written from the conclusion backwards. As in here's my plan for the total restructuring of society and a long justification with cherrypicked examples for why everyone needs to get on board or we're going to be in Road Warrior territory next year.

Collapse is a very subtle process that needs to be understood as a set of dynamic interacting forces not a dialectical materialism like process that proceeds inevitably from an invented mythology of historical forces.

"Online games" only for two reasons:

1. Online games are easier to restrict. Centralized servers, corporations with addresses and bank accounts, &c

2. Online games are a political threat. The Chinese government worries not just about "political" organizing, but about any movement or activity that gets people in the habit of collective action and mass communication.

But then make syscalls for those functions and let Samba (or other file server) call them. The kernel should not be concerned with this if avoidable.

I am probably wrong, because the people behind this are much smarter than me, but, still, adding more application features to the kernel is not something I would encourage without some excellent use case and a good reason not to solve a performance problem by adding more hardware.

Given the option, I’d go with more hardware over making the software more complicated (but faster).
> places with high vaccination rates _still have problems_.

Yes, they do. But getting COVID with a vaccination means infections are not emergency-room-critical events. Getting COVID without a vaccination can be an emergency-room-critical event.

So no. I still refuse to support antivaxxers politics. Once we're no longer having hospital bed overflows with every new variant - that's when I'll revisit my choice.
Ask HN: Wanted, non-technical co-founder
I'm looking for someone to come in at a 50% split for a company, Court Bell, that already has its product ready. The initial product: Each year, millions of Americans fail to appear in court for low-level offenses, & arrest warrants are issued. Studies indicate that text message reminders reduce failure to appear rates by up to 21%[1]. For courts, the costs associated with missed hearings and arrest warrants are quite high but the cost to defendants resulting from missed court dates is even higher. HearingReminder.com will provide email and text message hearing reminders nationally, free to users, for millions of Americans.

I'm the head of data and application development for a state supreme court. The National Center for State Courts loves this product but the problem is that getting it into each state/county nationally requires a lot of communication. Courts have the money and this saves them more than it costs. The code will be open sourced (MIT) and the organization non-profit, but that doesn't mean you can't "do well by doing good." Let me know your salary expectations and we'll factor that into the pricing.

Let me know your questions. My email is in my profile. Thanks.

Then when does this end?

Vaccination is not enough? Masks aren't enough?

If vaccination is not the end game, then there is no end game. There will always be some variant somewhere, even if the planet was 100% vaccinated, there would be virus multiplying in animal reservoirs.
Even if they are not effectively enforced, I have noticed it means that the average idiot now goes at 45kph with a 30kph limit instead of say 65kph with a 50kph limit.
This is a problem with all of these tasks having similar, overlapping use cases and similar, overlapping technology implementations. There are also remarkably few standards for the things around calendars, so most clients kludge something up with structured data sent over e-mail. Which leads to every implementation having its own, non-compatible spec.

Even something as simple as forwarding calendar invites can have dramatically different functionality between two systems. I was at a company that ran split-brain between Google and Lotus Notes and it was an absolute nightmare that effectively broke calendaring for 2 years because you could only forward events one way, and acceptances wouldn’t flow back up the chain because some of the clients used a different mechanism for signaling acceptance.

This has all been a problem for decades. The business world solved this by just forming a consensus on Outlook / Exchange in the mid-2000s; if you use any other combination you have to accept that there will be dropped communications with those who use the standard stack.

Ok, so there is a tradeoff. It does not mean that the Enterprise approach is wrong in general. Maybe that standardization is worth it? How could one quantify that?

There's an active forum for bridge sims that's the de facto community space for EmptyEpsilon: https://bridgesim.net/categories/emptyepsilon

There's a Discord that assembles online games run by United Stellar Navy (it's officially an role-playing community, but the EmptyEpsilon games aren't heavy on it): https://www.unitedstellarnavy.net

They organized a few 50+ player games last year, which have some videos on YouTube. A bit chaotic without context, but if you want to see the upper scope of gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHExJWYB8CM

EmptyEpsilon also has traction as a LARP platform, thanks in parts to being pretty straightforward to modify in source, using Lua to script scenarios, and having a rudimentary optional HTTP API to trigger scenario events, manipulate game state, and control player stations.

A Finnish group used EE in their large 2019 LARP event Odysseus: http://www.odysseuslarp.com

The custom backend for the tech, which included several systems and physical interfaces outside of EE that interfaced with the game, got a good talk at RopeCon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IE7j1SgUpKs

Every movement our bodies make will show up in the brain in some way or another. This study for example started breaking down brain signal "noise" and basically found that the brain and body are super tightly coupled. The feeling of the pants against your legs and the wind in your hair is gonna show up in a brain scan, so of course you're gonna see brain stimulation while walking.

A lot of these jobs pay between 60-130k/year, have a very high preference for someone 2-5 years of experience out of college.

That only covers a small percentage of the population. I used to fit that profile and back then, the minute I made any change to LinkedIn, I had people message me. Now people don't want to waste their time on someone that will be out of their price range or more experienced than their boss. FAANG is the exception, they seem very interested in scheduling an interview.
"We are working on an amazing new classical music experience from Apple for early next year, but unfortunately, the Primephonic service will be taken offline starting September 7. You may continue to use it at no charge until then."

Wow, that must be pretty annoying for subscribers! The service will go away starting September, with no timeline on replacement except a nebulous "early next year" (probably June?). Why not just keep the old thing up until the new thing is ready? Acquihires are gonna acquihire, but for an audience Apple is hoping to court to their own streaming service, this feels like a pretty big own goal.
We have been vaccinating, and the current rate is very higher (500k in a population of 5 million in the last week).

We also supply many small pacific islands and were also happy to delay so that supply could go to places with an acute need first (ie places that actually have Covid).

We will be in line with the rest of the developed world very soon.

> Bizarre strategy

Eradication? It’s worked pretty well and the economy and population are in good shape relative to other strategies employed.

Given we are close to Covid free (and aim to be again) and we are vaccinating fast, what strategy would you advocate?
It’s not as clear cut as that. There was a non-Microsoft DOS (might have been Dr DOS but I can’t recall specifically) that would boot Windows 95. Then Microsoft released an update that caused Windows 95 to fail with an vague error message intending to deceive users into thinking there was a technical limitation in other DOSs that prevented Windows from booting. Yet it was later proved that limitation didn’t exist and all Windows was doing was checking if it was MS-DOS, and if not returning an error.

If I recall correctly this case even went to court.
It may be; I don't know enough about it.

I wrote these a while ago... should've dated them.
While I listen when, e.g. Stross compared the Singularity to an Atheist take on Christian theology, I don’t think our parents lived in anything like a linear time:

My dad was born in ‘39; the first fission bomb was ‘45; first transistor was demonstrated in ‘47; first fusion bomb ‘51; NTSC TV color standard was ‘53; first artificial satellite was ‘58; the laser and the pill in ‘60; measles vaccine in ‘63; the 60s was civil rights, anti-war, free love, gay rights and second-wave feminism in the west, decolonisation in Africa, the green revolution, and the majority of the space race; 8-track, compact cassette, PDP-8, BASIC were all ‘64; first ATM and first human-to-human heart transplant was ‘67; the Mother of All Demos was ‘68.

Then the 70s happened and made the 60s seem languid — the mainframes became home computers, the women became national leaders, space became more relevant, DNA sequencing first invented and then used to fully sequence a virus, first test tube baby and first genetically modified human insulin from E. coli, X-ray tomography and MRIs invented, smallpox eliminated first from the Americas and then worldwide, public key encryption, cochlear implants successfully implanted, first demo of an audio CD, polio eliminated in the USA, …

And the 80s surpassed the 70s like the 70s surpassed the 60s.

So much has changed so fast; these days you can only even keep track of how much has changed because of the crowdsourced efforts of other people.
Such an enlightening comment. This is why I come back to HN, I had no idea why it was so hard to discover classical music (and I've experienced that pain point myself)
My initial (and final) interpretation was:

1. The people being enforced will find ways around these laws, naturally because it's considered unreasonable and overreaching in some regards.

2. In doing so, the government will selectively enforce these rules based on the limited amount of information or surveillance used to enforce these rules, so those who are busted for breaking them will pay the price, while others who are breaking the rules without getting caught will not pay the price.

I'm not trying to insult anyone's intelligence by breaking this down, but it's worth clarifying the scenarios.

While I agree with the GP's sentiment (it's very much overreaching into the private lives of its citizens who may wish to decide for themselves (or their family) how they spend their free, recreational time), the argument is no different from the fact that many DUI offenders never get caught while some do and pay the penalties.

I don't think this is a strong enough argument to mount a realistic protest against it, but it's a small factor that's unequivocally true -- many will get away with gaming longer than 3 hours anyway.

Gaming longer than 3 hours will give youth a good thrill at least. ;)

Jokes aside, this policy sucks.
The same would apply for law and medicine, but those fields have chosen to make a requirement where specialists do have to be generalists first and have to learn and be examined on the whole field.

Becoming a specialized divorce lawyer still requires you to pass certification on things like criminal law and constitutional law (among many other things), you won't be permitted to practice law if you know just your specialty, no matter how well you know it.

Becoming a heart surgeon still requires you to pass certification on pharmacology and gynecology (among many other things), you won't be permitted to practice medicine if you just know your specialty, no matter how well you know it.

But for software workers we do accept that you can ignore many related (and even relevant) fields and just learn only one niche of technology - we could make an all-encompassing bar, but it would be a major change and I'm not sure if we would want that.
If we got away from factory clothes and moved to a model where someone made two or three year's worth of clothes for $500 (well I guess the price would be based on your packages??)

Then the clothing designer would input B29 and it would adjust all sorts of things and print out a pattern. Then the clothing designer could "test fit" the final shirt on a really cool adjustomatic mannequin made of weird pistons and balloons. Ok that last part is unlikely to happen but it sounds awesome.
24-39 is the big demo at slim majority, it’s a terrible performance in that bracket so far.

They are not “at-risk” though. 65+ is at >80% fully vaccinated.

>70% of the >18 adult population has received at least one dose.

<18 & 18-24 are the only populations below 50%, one dose or full.

The best we can hope for is something like Kim Stanley Robinson's new book "The Ministry For the Future". A hodgepodge of technocratic reforms against a background of anthropogenic natural disasters eventually produces a solarpunk degrowth world that's post-capitalist without an an abrupt anti-capitalist revolution. Capitalist powers-that-be go along with it because it's being led by the central banks, and at every step the most profitable option is to go along with it.

I don't think we'll get that, though; I expect something more like William Gibson's "Jackpot" (from "The Peripheral" and "Agency"). There's no single collapse, just ongoing failures to solve coordination problems from hundreds of climate-change-spawned disasters, shortages, wars, pandemics, crises, and a century-long excess death toll around 6 billion. When the global kleptocrats pick up the pieces, it ultimately shakes out to cyberpunk ecofascism.

The political question of the early 21st century is what can we salvage? And are we able to work together to do so? The tea leaves aren't looking good.
Good questions, but I have no answers now. The only vaguely scientific thing we accomplished was creating compound models that show the sexual arousal of a vulva. I was told that it "became puffy/engorged", but couldn't ever really see that in action. Until we made of model of a woman before arousal and just prior to orgasm.

Our compound models are truly the most interesting ones:
