I remember seeing somewhere that witnessing the cosmic radiation of the big bang is something we have a fairly lucky time-slot to be able to do.

If that's the case, and we're early to the universe, it seems like the kind of data we should try to make sure survives beyond us.

This is actually a big reason I want a house. Having an apartment is cramped enough if you have a lot of hobbies, but if you want to have survival supplies (which, as you said, the pandemic showed is always important), it just doesn't work in an apartment unless you have a spare bedroom.

On top of the many reasons I already had for wanting a house, I now also want one so that I can use the basement or even just a pit in the backyard to store some water, canned food, etc. for emergencies.
I wonder how long it will take until $RANDOMCOUNTRY says the same thing about US phones.
Fish antibiotics might be fine, but since they aren't regulated for human consumption it's more of a gamble. Plenty of chemicals that don't hurt fish that the manufacturer therefore won't be testing for that can be harmful to a human. But more importantly in the case of antibiotics: how do you know amoxicillin is the right one for what ails you? There are multiple antibiotics for multiple bacteria, and applying the wrong one can throw your microbiome out of whack with no treatment to the disease itself.

Health care in the US is broken for several reasons, but "Doctors see a patient before prescribing the right medicine" isn't one of them. DIY medicine has dangers, and the FDA regulations are paid for in blood.

I think it's possible to stay fairly well informed without becoming a news junkie. Tactics that have worked for me:

- RSS feeds for daily news

- Weekly summaries from The Week magazine (UK) posted through letterbox.

- Fortnightly from serious long reads such as the London Review of Books.

- Podcasts from serious research organisations.

- Decent books for things I really care about.

- Avoid twitter, it's a vampire.

- NEVER EVER JUST GO TO THEGUARDIAN.COM TO SEE WHATS GOING ON. (Subscribe to their RSS feeds instead).
>>Is it the like/upvote mechanism?

Yes. This is what created the validation feedback loop, and what generally causes the social harm

The like button, and the variations on it is IMO the biggest problem with social media

Forums and other discussion boards did not have these problems and while you could have "flame war" that involved actual argumentation back and forth not 1000's of passive visitors choosing to upvote, or downvote on a post with no argumentation
People shouldn't be taking medical advice from JRE (or celebrities (or politicians)), but what's wrong with his podcast?
Pardon my pushback, but wouldn't it be easier to just answer: the mouse has died. I know that's not religious and everyone has their own views on the soul, but: do we need to ease feelings about a dead mouse? I see the death of wild animals as good opportunities to teach children, so they're more prepared for the death of humans they know or their pets.
I think the first thing people here are negatively reacting to is the phrase "gene therapy", which has a specific meaning and the mRNA vaccines are most definitely not gene therapy.

I also don't think any scientifically minded person is opposed to the idea that natural immunity from previous infection provides stronger or longer lasting protection for infection. This would be in line with what we see with flu. The problem people have is the use of this information to encourage people to not get vaccinated. COVID outcomes are clearly better for vaccinated individuals than those who have not been vaccinated and have no natural immunity.

I don't like the mandates, lockdowns, or passports but I think vaccination is still useful in reducing illness, spread, and mortality. The data backs that up. No one in my opinion should be coerced, but the choice seems so obvious to me.
Flying taxis is public transportation
A friend of mine worked as an editor for a news paper. He was a new hire, and a woman who has been working as an editor at the same news paper for 9 years asked him what his salary offer was. It turned out she after 9 years was getting paid $3k less than what he was offered as a new hire.
Is this satire?

Talking about salaries have always resulted in better or equal pay for everyone involved (except the higher ups, like you) in my experience, and the experience of everyone I know.

Your post sounds like companies claiming that unions would actually hurt you.

If you're underpaying people in order to get to an IPO, people deserve to be aware of that and know the risks involved.

I wonder why their app doesn't support the front-facing LIDAR sensor like the others.

The pagination on HN is one of its better UX decisions. Same with turning off auto-loading when you reach the end of the front page of Reddit (but that's not the default).
On an excel spreadsheet level I would agree, but this ignores a couple parts of renting reality that are awful:

- You can have the property sold out from under you, and you have to scramble to move. This one is the worst in my mind.

- Rulesets for rentals are often more restrictive compared to home ownership. Pets, parking, HOA rules, etc.

- Quality is often lower in rentals. Sometimes by more than you would expect. Appliances are a great corner to cut by rental properties. The owner occupied places I've bought had vastly better quality appliances, and I can tell the difference. To get equivalent level in my city, you'll be paying much more.

- You determine the quality of work in your place. Renting insulates you from the cost, but often this means your landlord sends someone with duct tape to fix a window instead of weather stripping or replacing the window.

It's hard to compare like for like, but these are very real problems. I've had a few friends forced to move, and for some it's been more moves than years. Fine if you live out of a backpack+laptop, but the logistics of renting are a huge pain. Recently, I've noticed an uptick in this behaviour last two years due to landlords flipping their properties, and the subsequent owners out of state. This is definitely worse, I see a pattern of task rabbits and other bottom tier services replacing local work.

Leverage is the magic in mortgages, and everyone along the way is getting their cut, the city, the real estate agents, etc. There are a ton of misc expenses in the transaction. Property tax is kind of rent junior edition.

There are negatives to owning, parking a bunch of capital, can't escape longer term negative neighbourhood problems, you're responsible for fixes.

For all the investing advice you see, you cannot live in a bitcoin/stock account, etc. You have to live somewhere, why not have more control over it.
Indeed, towards the end of the piece, the author acknowledges this:

"Of course, many workers don’t withhold their salaries out of respect for their supervisors’ wishes but because it can be deeply awkward.

“We have a culture that discourages it,” Pardo said. “People don’t want to talk about money. It’s like talking about religion and politics. It’s uncomfortable.”

As a result, many may be unaware of what the person in the other cubicle or on the other end of the Zoom call earns.

While employer review websites like Glassdoor offer a window into company pay, UNC’s Hirsch pointed out this data is often incomplete and certainly not uploaded for all companies."
Agreed, I liked the community and bonding aspects as well. And I'm saying this as a first-generation immigrant who isn't
even Christian - even though I know the church's overall mandate is to 'convert' people or whatever, I got a sense that the youth ministers at the church didn't really care - we all just wanted to share some good times.
I don't think I ever talked about pay with my coworkers, but the first thing I'd do if someone gave me that speech would be talk about pay. The lady doth protest too much, methinks.
I've been daily-driving Arch for two years now, and I've only seen it break a handful of times. And since I set it up using the command line tools, I knew which ones to use to fix it.

Arch lets me engage with the open-source community directly and get fixes to issues faster than more curated OSes like Ubuntu. I have access to more diagnostic information and tools that what Windows provides. And privacy and freedom isn't compromised like on MacOS.

Also, it's gotten really good for games. It plays pretty much everything I've wanted to play, from Stellaris, Cyberpunk 2077, and Humankind.

So, sometimes opinions need updates.
Both tbh. Send the robots (which could even be biological) to do real life work and just chill in VR.

"worked with Jobs"

What are you talking about, John Carmack never worked directly with Steve Jobs? He had his own company and he sometimes had to talk with Apple as a platform vendor, but they never worked together on a title. He didn't like Jobs as a person but that is another story.

It tells us there's an effectively unbounded amount of possible things to read on the internet and a lot of it is crap, debunked, hidden behind interstitials, paywalled, sales/marketing content dressed up as blogs or otherwise not worth interacting with.

In case it wasn't obvious, my answer is no in about 95%+ of cases. The comments serve as a pre-screen to determine if there's anything unexpected/interesting on the other side of a mystery link. Someone has already done the work of reading and forming a response, I'm going to re-use their (combined) effort.
Often popular submissions are followed by more of the same.

>if you get home and the papers are on the table as he mentioned, that is past the point of talking with your spouse about your relationship

I would argue that's the point where the talking should start (ideally there is also talking before it comes to that, of course).
Aren't forums social media?
s/quorum/consensus/

A quorum is the minimum number of members that must be present in some body or group for them to be allowed to make decisions. The number is given in the group's articles of association; there's nothing messy about it.

A "consensus" occurs when enough members of a group or body agree with a proposal, that the remainder "consent" to that proposal, even if they don't fully agree with it. Consensus is messy, partly because the meaning of the word is open to dispute; and partly because "consensus" doesn't address the case where the group or body is irreconcilably split on the issue at hand.

I don't care to address the word "democracy"; that word has as many meanings as there are people on the planet.
You need a better argument than that to convince somebody to never gamble lol. Remember, it was also a gamble to trust the WHO not to use masks early in the pandemic. We are making gambles everyday.
I'd love to design and build something like this myself, but all of the electronic design seems so daunting.

This is one of my favorites. Merlin in this always cracks me up. Also the protagonists learned knowledge is fascinating to me. The guy goes and creates a bunch of stuff from scratch and knows all the bits that go into the things. I always wonder if my education had been lacking, just because of this story.
Name strongly implies it requires Wayland? (which, eww)

But the front page doesn't make this too clear, can anyone confirm?
Mainly because I want to see if :
- I can install something from Aurora Store
- The app can run
- The app can connect to the internet without changing any config
- The app can operate normally
It is just a coincidence that the first apps I installed was Telegram.
AFAIK, Waydroid doesn't add ARM virtualization, and because I installed it on a X86_64 computer, I doubt something installed from a store (which mainly aimed for ARM device) can even run properly.

I'm confused about what this does above & beyond css animations/transitions.

Leave Reddit, come to HN, leave HN, play a new video game, stop playing a video game, binge watch a tv show.

Never anything productive
One exception to that: gravity. The only reason I can think of they would want our gravity is if they want to live here though, so we are back to them not sending robots which we already agreed isn't likely.
And it's going to get much worse.

According to the IPCC report[0], we're overshooting the 1.5°C target by another 1.5°C. That is; if we're careful and immediately take action. Which it doesn't look like. Instead of hitting 1.5°C by the end of the century, we'll be very likely hitting it in the next thirty years. Nice!

I wonder how much more it will take to finally shake up policy makers. We're walking with open eyes into a calamity of unprecedented proportions and everyone is partying.

The worst thing about all this; the rich and developed nations are the ones are best positioned to mitigate the damage. But even a country like Switzerland, one of the wealthiest country of the world, is shirking its responsibilities[1].

To be fair; Switzerland is probably one of the countries best positioned to survive the oncoming onslaught[2]. But if even the richest people in the world don't see a need to chip in; how much hope is there really?

pfff... this is nothing. the government simply stop you on the roadside, demand you unlock your phone and if they find any vpn, or god forbid any "anti national content", beat you to a pulp and then charge you for terrorism. state sponsored mobile surveillance is too far away.

I would suggest asking on reddit if you can't find it here. I've actually managed to find some things that I had been seeking for over a decade through places like reddit.
"You may say I'm a dreamer,

> What we did instead is make sure that everyone, including new college hires, understood that talking about pay almost always leads to interpersonal friction, resentment, conflict, lower work productivity, and slower progress of our company toward an IPO.

I hope you've provided some very concrete examples how talking about pay delayed an IPO by a certain period of time, and quantified how much exactly hires were losing because of it, in exact dollar values.

Because otherwise, it's just a gaslighting scare tactic.

> It's not a threat if you just explain how the real world works and that actions have consequences.

One of the consequences of bullshitting new hires with vague examples of how the real world works is that you end up with people willing to drink the kool-aid, regardless of their skills and ability. Now maybe that was your primary goal in the first place, but somehow I doubt it.

I'm not sure why you are interpreting the parent's comment as similar to "claiming that unions would actually hurt you". It's just a post talking about how management in companies works around the illegality of telling employees not to talk to about pay. It's in the first sentence.

It's not like the parent comment is defending the practice, just how it's done in practice to discourage employees. Yes, groups of employees that don't band together believe that it will hurt their own bottom line if they talk about pay.

“ We persuade our minds that liking pictures and joining virtual groups gives us a sense of belonging. Connection with others”

Except in many cases its not persuasion. Joining groups actually does give us these things. My gf is part of “bay area moms” group and the amount of useful tips she gets out of participating in that is significant. Or “bay area hikers” for me. Also, if i want to sell something, I hire facebook to find a buyer for my old ipad or iphone.

Social media has caught on to the jobs framework. Jack Dorsey references it directly on Twitter earnings calls. He says we need to fill more jobs for more people. He constantly asks what can people hire twitter for?

I think to reduce social media to some of the crappy jobs it does serve artificially diminishes what it can be.
Good landlord, you're fine.

Bad landlord, they say you over inflated it, and are now behind on rent. This gives them the opening to evict, or you have to take to small claims, or your local tenant's rights group.

Not fun.
Imagine how our life will look like with the extra hours we spend on social media? Maybe we can become productive enough and finish something that we always wanted.
So, in essence, a bribe.

"This relationship lasted for only 27 days, reaching the courting stage before ending." Reminds me of the novel the Three Body Problem
So, silly question perhaps. I genuinely don’t know. Is blockchain handy for this decentralizing part of DNS or DNS entirely?

Suppose a blockchain network, or networks, knows all the TLD server IPs (I don't have DNS sharp in my mind, sorry for that).

You can transfer ownership of a domain to someone else. I think conceptually it’s an NFT right? Not that it is art, but domains aren’t fungible I think. So it is non-fungible. So you could wrap each non-fungible domain in a token on a network, making it an NFT.

I wonder what the actual issues will be. Striving for a decentralized DNS with whatever technique one would use seems to be a good thing IMO. The internet is for us all.

Edit: Ohhh this article is actually using a blockchain solution called namebase. When I was skimming, I saw IPFS so I thought somehow IPFS was used instead. That was more subtly interwoven in the story than I thought.
Are you saying that the poster is saying that they lie to their employees?

I'm honestly not sure what you're saying.
You seem to have misunderstand the posting completely and addressed a different problem altogether.

I'm not gainsaying anything you said, but it would be better as a top-level comment. It has nothing to do with what I said.
Curious where "no-one turned into a pig" came from? That is an episode from the Odyssey: Circe turned some of Ulysse's companions to pigs. But not the Iliad (Trojan War is in the Iliad). Is the turning-into-pigs a memory from a movie, perhaps a mash-up of the Iliad and Odyssey?
could you tell us a bit more about the flushing process and what these meds were? if they were anti-anxiety & anti-depression meds, then perhaps they could have had the effect of unsedating a person?
They put ads at requiring an extra 2.5w of energy. You can use that to directly calculate the cost from your local electricity rates.

For me, the calculation is: 2.5w / 1000 * 28 cents = 0.07 cents per hour.

Nope, unemployment insurance lasts for 2 years. And requires you to:
(a) pay membership fees, and,
(b) be actively looking for a job.

They'll give you some flexibility, so you might not have to accept the first job.

If you're not a member or two years are up options are: join and work to regain coverage, work for something around a year or so -- lots of special cases.

Or get unemployment benefits from government. Much less ~1400 USD, requires lots of activities like hunting for jobs, and not have assets exceeding ~10k USD.
