Bezos and Branson didn't need to go up in their own rocketship, but they did so to occupy the airwaves.

These people are like the person who climbs the Everest "because it's there", but instead of mt. Everest they see the total amount of daily waking hours that the 8 billion people on the planet spend doing their own activities and then seek to monopolize that time forcing people to genuflect and idolize them and their products.

In the past those who had this sort of social standing were forced to live in the moment.

Roman emperors woke up greatful that they were not assassinated during the night, and went to bed equally greatful that they managed to stay alive.

Today you have people with 100B dollars and 40 years of life ahead of them! Humans were never made to live in this way. We are in uncharted territory.

I don't know if we would ever be able to analyze brains in real time or postmortem but we probably won't like what we'll find in there.
Elite athletes are a diverse bunch. You can find a few of them who follow all sorts of trendy diets, including carnivore, at least for a while. But if we look empirically at what works best in competition the vast majority of winning athletes across all sports are omnivores.

There are also several anecdotal reports out there of athletes who tried vegan diets and found they got injured more frequently, or recovered more slowly. Does that mean anything? Who knows. There are so many confounding factors that it's impossible to research this issue in a truly rigorous way.

There are a few such anecdotes listed here. I'm not endorsing this blog or any particular diet, just pointing out that we lack clear evidence based guidelines.

Thanks, we corrected this quite quickly. Appreciated!
Sorry, you are falling for a category system that is entirely human-made. Nature doesn't care about "disorders" but produces the whole spectrum. Nature doesn't even care about that the evolutionary fitness of many variations is zero.
If you like documentaries there is a whole genre on Youtube that covers air incidents. Lots exist but the ones I follow are Mentour Pilot (technical / crew focused analysis from an airline pilot), Wonder (more TV style focused on the passengers and stories), Air Safety Institute and FlyWire- scott perdue (small-time incident analysis geared towards educating private pilots).
Do you think that racism is real?

I think the issue isn't so much declaring exactly one group as the ones who have it worst, but to be driven by empirical data about how various groups perform. I believe college enrollment per capita goes something like:

white women > black women > white men > black men

(not sure where all the other racial groups fall).

So a simplistic calculation like "women are less privileged and black people are less privileged therefor we should help black women the most when it comes to college admissions" does not address the real world disparities that exist.
Setting the record straight on this matter isn't nitpicking and pedantry, it's just giving credit where it is due. Since the intent of the "simplification" isn't to deceive, this shouldn't be a problem.
Your statement was only true prior to the invention of capitalism. After capitalism, its possible to gain wealth without stealing it from workers. Capitalism is more nuanced than many say it is---see the Rerum Noveram by Pope Leo XIII for an intro to the nuance of the issue: he warned owners not to abuse worker, but also called workers not to destroy property of owners or other individuals.

Oppression and wage-theft still occur, bit they are not necessary parts of capitalism per se, but rather abuses of the system. If workers are truly free to choose their jobs, they can leave a bad situation, and that puts market pressure on businesses to do better.

As the saying goes, "A billion here, a billion there, and pretty soon you're talking real money."
I think it’s cool but I’d rather have functioning governments and less people who want society to collapse.

I know it must suck if you’re not in a developed western country (coming from a 3rd world I know) but now that I’m in America it’s almost like people want the financial systems to completely collapse.

I want to see practical daily life applications that many people will immediately benefit from. I feel like the power players have already been forming and if I’m honest I think some of the crypto rich folks are 10x worse morally and ethically compared to anyone else I’ve met before. Very few have genuine interest in furthering the concept of decentralization. Most just seem to want to get rich by converting to USD ASAP and buying properties or something else.

I could be totally wrong and possibly just getting the wrong message about people in the crypto world. Just my observation though.
On the site they mention older kernels in the 4.x range. Do they support 5.x?
It's definitely a well-considered approach. I don't have to care about the framework that's been used or set up a custom proxy to capture and replay / simulate API actions, you're literally recording system-level calls and that would be extremely valuable for replaying those annoying edge-case race conditions that seem nigh-impossible to track down without significant effort at replicating exact steps and timings.

I mentioned in my other comment about Windows support, but even better if you could do something like browserstack, where I could just direct users to a URL where in the backend you guys are running the replay browser, but from their perspective they're just "using the website", that would be a killer feature. "Here, go to this URL and make the bug happen again, as soon as it happens click the little bug icon" - wouldn't have to convince an IT department to allow custom software on their COE, I could foot the bill and pass it on in my invoices so don't need to convince their accounting to approve licensing, etc, and you wouldn't need to compile OS-specific clients...

Anyway I digress, really cool stuff and thanks for expanding a bit on how it works, taking something so low-level as syscalls and wrapping it up in a user-friendly interface is no mean feat - good luck!
It's like the ex CEO of Goldman Sachs who said he doesn't see himself as rich. I guess it's an easy trap to fall into when you live in an apartment block with ten other billionaires.
> He certainly seems to have a more enjoyable life than Zuckerberg.

There is no universal metric for enjoying life. Some people just like playing the game. My 99 year old grandpa was still managing his farm’s yields before he died even though he had no need to because why not. He actually bought it after he “retired”.
From the transcript:

Richard: They say Bin Laden is just going to put all his money in the market and then attack?

Robin: Well, that was crazy because these were relativity thin markets, and they have a lot of money at stake. Basically a fact that people don’t know about the markets is that many people criticize by saying, “Well, somebody will try to manipulate the markets by betting on one side not because they know better, but because they’re willing to lose money in order to distort the market price.”

That is true. There are people willing to manipulate markets, but that actually makes the prices more accurate. For example in the fire the CEO market you say, “Well, the CEO wants to keep his job, so he will bet in these markets in order to make himself look like the price will be higher if he stays, and lower if he leaves.”

Yes he would have an incentive to do that, but when other traders know that somebody will be trying to manipulate in the market they know to increase their trading and their efforts and that compensates, and actually on net makes the prices more accurate. That’s something we see in theory and we’ve seen in the lab, and we’ve seen in the field. These markets are robust to attempts to manipulate. In fact people who want to manipulate them make the prices more accurate.

Generating Safer Workout Routes at Night
Running at night can be scary, especially for women and minorities who are disproportionately affected by assaulters. This project aims to alleviate some of the risk factors associated with running at night by generating safer paths with more light. By using this model runners will not only feel safer, but also perform better because they won’t be as distracted by fears of what could be hiding in the dark.
Probably any matter at absolute 0 would qualify? I think otherwise all mass has some excess of energy in it, I could be wrong.

Alternatively, possibly dark matter would qualify, although I am not sure either as we haven't even proven that it exists.
Hi, the error message is a bit confusing - certain file type extensions may cause the user profile page not to load. Disallowing specific extensions in the username helps prevent that problem - it is not to prevent an injection attack or similar.

Government corruption shouldn't be a reason to stop the government from doing anything, unless it is an issue that obviously going to stop effective implementation.
While I'm not rich, I have a strong need to be doing something productive most of the time. I can't imagine that changing if I won the lottery.
wow, your instructor is an idiot.
When I worked with a billionaire and several millionaires at a private equity firm, everyone was jealous of and struggling to make it to the next level up. The guy who made $250k and a 200k bonus was jealous of the guy who made a $2million dollar bonus. The $2 million dollar bonus guy was mad he only flew first class and didn't take net jets everywhere like the senior partner. The Senior Partner was annoyed he took net jets instead of having his own jet like the Principal. And the Principal was jealous of another Principal with a bigger jet. There was also a lot of arguing with all of their wives about horses. These people all blew an incredible amount of $$ on horse racing and horses.

If you have enemies in life, consider encouraging them to get really into horses because imo it's the fastest way to drain their time and assets with little return.
Wow, that is cool. To be honest I don't see anything wrong with it, at least from a software-dev perspective and it may really widen the know-how and increase wealth. Just as a side note: I would see this a bit more critical if the guys would move to an other country and just take the know-how with them.
Indeed, you have to make a fork using the GH UI. But then, you could just add that fork as the remote origin for your local copy, push your changes, and open up a PR?
Fun fact: Uber surge pricing is calculated per-hexagon (h9, I think). If you're near a hexagon boundary experiencing surge, hop across to another one and check again.
Respectfully I disagree. The opinion section is fundamentally different (and damaging) to the news reporting, and shouldn't exist. But opinion content is many times more popular than straight news, it seems people like being told what to think.
Haha. I can’t even bring myself to check that assertion. :)

But for people in any domain at the top of their game, what else is as fulfilling?
they're probably in positions of power & get to order people around. why give up power?

and being rich their risk of failure is immaterial. if expectations ever exceed their desire they could stop, so they can negotiate & put in as much or little real effort as they please.

amsuingly from a serendipity perrspective, our made-it founder-ceo raised this question out of no where in his opener talk, pretty recently at a mid year all hands. i dont really remember the response he offered? i like it, seems like probably about 60% covers what he said.
Why would you "stop working", when you have a wonderful job ? Rich people almost always have interesting jobs, so no reason to stop
> Am I in the super-minority if I say I've unfollowed about 80% of my FB friends? I've never seen a political or outrage post in the last 3 years since I just unfollowed everyone but my closest friends and family.

Yes but when I started unfollowing people who were over sharing political or outrage posts, that included my family, at which point I thought why bother using it at all.

The only time I ever have meaningful interactions on Facebook is in niche groups like meme groups with a few thousand people.

Every single one gets banned eventually. My favourite Top Gear meme group has been through I think 6 groups now.

Facebooks potential to destroy culture if they throw a hissy fit is dangerous and not being paid attention to.

Has anyone traced down an explanation of the (presumably security-vuln-related) thing that was going on, motivating the original restriction?

I would think it would be public now, with the restriction removed, but maybe not?

It does seem like an unfortunate UX to exclude the lastnames of millions of people as usernames.
I'm convinced that David Harland's Rekursiv[1:] machine _is_ the manner by which lambda et al. might be implemented at the machine level. Unfortunately, Rekursiv seems to have died an ignominious death, with the last Rekursiv chip having fallen off the side of a steamboat (apocrypha; I remember having read this, but I'm unable to find the original citation.)

The Rekursiv advantage is its ability to do recursion on the bare-metal. It's described as an object-oriented architecture. Its memory was a persistent store of objects, with each object having its size, type, and position known in memory.

The FIDO tokens have no intention of allowing you to do anything else except FIDO with their keys (in fact the cheapest ones literally couldn't if they wanted to, good) and the SSH protocol of course was not originally designed for these tokens (it's from last century!) so the result is that the OpenSSH team had to design a custom key type for this purpose.

In consequence, although this technology is excellent and I endorse choosing it especially in tandem with other FIDO usage (e.g. WebAuthn for web sites, and I believe Windows can use it to authenticate users to their desktops/ laptops) you need to understand that both sides must have the necessary feature for it to authenticate you, both your clients and any SSH servers you need to authenticate against must recognise the FIDO-specific auth method in SSH.

If you mostly administrate shiny modern *BSD or Linux boxes, they have a new enough OpenSSH, so this Just Works™. But if you've got some creaky five year old VMs or worse real servers running like RHEL 6 or something, that may be an obstacle to practically deploying this.

Good news is that this will improve over time, and e.g. GitHub did eventually learn the new key type.
> But the factory is unpopular and that policy is unlikely to be implemented (since it's down by 20 percentage points). Even if I nudge it up a bit, my bet is likely to be voided, and I make zero return for my knowledge.

I'm not sure that's what would actually happen unless you add some weird constraints. Under usual (unrealistic, okay, but just for the sake of argument) assumptions, you would buy infinitely many As at any price <.9, and infinitely many Bs at any price <.75. By definition you know the true odds, so your posterior predictive has zero hyperparameter variance: every single one of those trades has positive expectation.

Both A and B would increase in price, but you would stop buying B after a while. Assuming infinite time, infinite liquidity, no budget constraints and no weird information asymmetries, you could single-handedly make the market converge at their "true" values: you will always buy A if the price is lower than your threshold, and any rational seller who doesn't believe your odds would sell it to you.
Well, he could be making art or doing something else if he wanted. And, in fact, he seems to be taking photography very seriously. Productive is not the same as monetarily rewarding.

But, more importantly, I think most people who despise "do nothing productive" vacations are worried about falling behind. If you've already opted into permanent falling behind I wonder how that changes things.
I think you mean residency. Divorce requires one to be a resident, but not necessarily a citizen, in order to file. However spousal maintenance (i.e. alimony), child support and modifications thereof can be enforced across state lines (and even international lines) even if neither parties are residents of the state which had jurisdiction over the original order.

But getting back to the subject at hand, the Texas law, if it survives legal muster, would likely only affect Texas residents who seek abortions within or across state lines as well as non-residents who seek an abortion in Texas. The legality of out-of-state facilities themselves would be left to the courts and legislatures of the states where those facilities operate, regardless of how close they are to the Texas state line. Advertising limitations are a 1st amendment issue, and could easily be challenged in a federal court. Commercial speech is protected speech. If other states like Georgia or Tennessee follow, similar circumstances and limitations would apply.

I don't agree with the law, in fact I find it repulsive, but I think your claim of "different state, no jurisdiction" being a firm rule of American jurisprudence lacks substance. There have been plenty of legal rulings disproving that philosophy where a so-called compelling government interest is involved.

Take car crashes. If a resident of state A crashes in state B, the at-fault party can be sued in state A if the has court relevant subject-matter jurisdiction (which most civil and criminal courts do) over the case and personal juridiction over the plaintiff (which every state court does over its residents).

I paid for and use FlickType on the watch. It’s clever, but it always sucked it was a stand-alone app. It was a very limited and cumbersome workaround for an obviously missing OS feature. Copy and paste isn’t even a thing on the watch, so text was mostly trapped in the app. Everyone that used the app knew it would vastly better if a keyboard were supported natively by Apple across the whole OS. It was mostly a tantalizing proof of concept. I feel sorry for the Sherlocked developer, but this is a huge improvement.

I recall Apple had previously said they tested and abandoned an on-screen watch keyboard for the Series 0, as the screen was too small. And yesterday they said the screen was finally large enough for a keyboard. I think Flicktype proved it was viable on a smaller screen, and Apple is being crappy limiting availability to the new watch.

I don’t know if Apple legally or morally owes the developer anything. I doubt it, but I’m all for them sorting it out in court.

HN would need to store the scripts and load them. This would mean slower loading time, and increased maintenance on databases.

Also open the door to bugs like "why is this loading the scripts of another user?" which can be security threats.

It's "just" a simple feature, but it still have costs. I'd rather have the browser allowing me to load scripts without relying on an extension.
Land ownership is physical too. Apply a little violence and your land is gone. Villages can be raided. Countries can be invaded. Organized drug traffickers can literally take over entire cities.

You need to be there and defend your land if you want to keep it. The fact that in civilized society people have transferred this responsibility to governments doesn't make it any less physical.
The problem is that the general public thinks the CS == Computers.

So, Founding Fathers of computing science becomes mixed - starting from those low brow thinkers we call journalists - with the idea of Founding Father of computing. And this is not only unfair, but technically wrong.

Sounds to me like he left a lot of options on the table. There's a lot more out there than working in corporate or sitting alone at a bar in Tahiti. I'd love to be able to get creative and indulge hobbies as full-time work; it'd be nice to brew beer, or write a book, or take up woodworking, without having to worry about financing or making a profit from any of those activities.

Indeed, but on the other hand, almost all of the projects mentioned in the comments here are of the 'for this project, we do it this way' type of implementation meaning that in their local use case their way is the unified API.

That is both the benefit and the downside of non-commercial projects: you get to do whatever you want.
Is there a way Starbucks could lean into this concept as a way of raising debt? For example, offer something like "add 30 bucks to your account today and get a free iced latte." Depending on the terms of the deal, you could get really good "interest rates."

Obviously there's some downsides in that there's no fixed term for the loan though.
That's a terrible option. I never found the GPIO pins, for instance.
When I was in seventh grade, I kept a running list of all the wrong things that my science teacher said. I was more thinking of the actual scientists and IPCC and you know more vetted types of predictions.

And Ozone depletion we actually came together as a civilization and fixed the issue. That was a good model for what we need to do with respect to carbon burn. Any of these predictions about the future are obviously conditional on "people do X" or "people do Y" or something equally involving predicting what people will do in the future.
Giong to make some bold guesses here: This is a single man without children.

The idea of a single guy in his mid-20s being unable to find meaning in his life seems pretty normal. I'm not saying getting married or having kids mean you're winning at life or are the only ways to have meaning, but as a married person in his 30s, I'll gladly take a few million and retirement to go on adventures with my wife for the rest of my life when I'm not just enjoying my hobbies or visiting loved ones.

TL;dr- Different strokes. I would have gleefully retired at 18 given the chance.
