Interesting. You don't actually refute any of his arguments.
What you pointed out is correct. And, it is deliberately so. Look at it from the Movie Producers' perspective. They risk millions of dollars to bring us a great storytelling and they have to recoup that investment in just about 2 weeks time (before piracy takes its toll). For the consumer (movie watcher) it's an easy decision - download the app, pick a movie, sit back and relax. Our goal, as a platform, is to make things easy for the movie producer / production house.
That is true.

Show HN: The Insecure Mind of Sergei Kraev – a sci-fi novel
Hi HN,

I wrote a novel during the pandemic. I’ve always loved reading and coding, but I had no idea that writing could also be addictive.

I show a preview with the prologue and first chapter. I also link to a blog post about my experience writing a novel as a coder / software entrepreneur.

If you read (or listen to the audiobook) please share your feedback. It will help me figure out my “audience” for this book and could help with my next novel. (Not sure when that will be...but I had so much fun writing, and have received enough positive feedback so far, that I’m sure I’ll write another book.)

The (2015) label is very important, because people have had concerns like this, and consequently have directly studied things like:

Do statins (cholesterol lowering drugs) increase suicidality and depression? No (in fact, the signal was for benefit)[1].

In a causal genetic analysis, does a decrease in cholesterol cause an increase in depression? No (in fact, the only significant finding from the study was that an increase in triglycerides is causal for increased depression risk)[2].

Does driving cholesterol to extremely low levels with powerful new medications called PCSK9 inhibitors cause change in neurocognition? No, and while there were no significant differences between the PCSK9i group and the placebo group, the PCSK9i group had numerically superior results, so there is really no signal for harm[3].

The concerns raised in the article don't really stand the test of time. I think this is probably because they were cherry-picked to begin with.

Well that got me thinking about my blood test results. I have higher than norm cholesterol but I also have higher than normal muscle mass.

Will get into reading about it, because I was stressing about my cholesterol result. When in reality it might be just like BMI which does not really work well for people with bigger muscle mass than average.
I don't think I have ocd but this is something that I do without thought. Usually, I'll catch myself after a minute or two. But if a paragraph is almost there, it becomes difficult to work with that paragraph on-screen until I scratch the itch.
I find this a little bit of an odd statement -- what about the whole experience of simply driving a car fast, and the thrill of being able to take straight lines and curves as fast as possible? Surely the better power curve and eventually better weight distribution will result in a more track ready car that's simply more fun to drive because it's just plain faster.

Of course, I can understand the complaint that such a machine, superior in performance as it may be, may lack character...

One answer would be that there was no conquering. That could happen via a few possibilities:

1. pre-Clovis people were so thinly spread that Clovis was able to just fill in the gaps

2. pre-Clovis people had actually essentially become extinct before Clovis arrived. It's not easy to see how that would be the case in a continent(s) of this size, but not actually implausible.

3. as a combination of the two, pre-Clovis culture was completely nomadic, and their constant migration kept them out of the way of Clovis until a point where their population was so diminished as to leave no descendants, even via inter-breeding.

For some reasons I was not truly astounded at all. I had several smartphones before but I preferred smaller "cool" phones until iPhone 4.

The iphone became for phones what the ipod was for music players. Great device but not really from the future. I bought it for the web browser.

Even today I use my iphone perhaps at 10% of its power mostly for things that I do on my laptop anyway(mail, chat, web browsing) so

I'm actually astounded that I can't hook it to a monitor and use it as a computer/macbook so to me it seems we got stuck in the past.
You’re conflating came from a lab and created in a lab. It is very possible that the virus was leaked from a lab without being created there. Maybe not your intention, but your post comes across this way.
“Fat is bad push” has nothing to do with veganism. In fact the opposite: fat is essential. As a vegan I eat tubs and tubs of olives, avocados, cashews, almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts you name it—all loaded in fat.

The “fat is bad” push is a product of the sugar industry and using nutrition labels to sell products to consumers based on fear. And it was an easy sell because people were getting fatter (due to sugar intake and nutrition-devoid white bread).

Which brings me to gluten free: If you think you have gluten intolerance but you don’t swell up when eating whole wheat bread (e.g. no celiac disease), you’re probably eating some crappy off-the-shelf loaf with all kinds of additives.

Gluten free is just as stupid as Keto diets. The only real diet is in balance. It’s real fruits, vegetables, legumes, and other plants. Meat contains MINIMAL nutritional value compared to the plant world.

18 months is around 2% of your total expected lifespan. Cardiac issues take decades to build up. It’s far too early to draw conclusions about the diet after less than 2 years, especially when you spent twice as long on a vegan diet immediately before the carnivore diet.
Yes, the founder of Lotus, Colin Chapmann, had this egineering philosophy regarding racing cars: "Every part's weight is something I have to carry. If a part doesn't even exist, it doesn't have any weight." (Paraphrased by me.)

This Wikipedia article is a good start if you're curious: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonsense_knowledge_(artific...
Reading the article I was suddenly reminded of this comment I once saved : whip up outrage -> increase alienation and segregation -> build up resentment that leads to violence -> violence used as a whip.

Those who are in power know they can use the disenfranchised as their whip.

The article correctly identifies imo that it’s paramount we need to start thinking inclusive when it comes to setting up society.

Or like that quote, a society is measured how they treat their poorest.

IIRC in the USA, the food guidelines were recently updated to no longer recommend keeping intake of eggs and shrimp low. The reasoning was that those are pretty much the only foods high in colesterol but low in saturated fats, and had been lumped in with the “raises blood cholesterol” group of other animal products that are high in saturated fats. This change being the US gov’t agency in question essentially saying that it now seems it’s the saturated fats that are a problem, not dietary cholesterol, the two just mostly come in the same package.

>There’s also evidence it cannot possibly (or well, with such a low chance it may as well be) have occured naturally.

Now, I remember reading about it most likely not being a result of direct genetic manipulation, and it sounded sound to me.

Do you have any sources for your assertion that there is evidence it cannot have occurred naturally?

As far as I read such viruses have a natural tendency to sometimes jump species, as was likely the case with SARS-CoV and MERS.

> the mining problem, the scalability problem, the toxicity problem, etc

These are all trivial compared to nuclear's construction problem.

But I've never heard that batteries are not "scalable," when they are actually one of the most incredibly scalable technologies out there. Want a few watt hours? No problem. Want 10GWh? No problem. Want to distribute a MWh at every distribution station across a country? No problem.

Batteries scale as small or large as we can conceive.

> atrocious rare earth batteries

There aren't rare earth elements in batteries. It's been funny to watch "rare earth" become a synonym for "harmful" because this does not seem to have any basis in fact that I can understand.

> coal isn't going anywhere

Coal is already a dead man walking. Most of its use in the US is uneconomic, and loses money for utility customers. Bad financial agreements, executive incompetence, and misaligned economic incentives between utilities and their customers are the only reason its still on the grid.

Everybody who bet on coal 10 years ago was foolish, and should lose their capital, but since that section of our economy is run on cronyism instead of capitalism, people bad at capital allocation are not losing their shirts like they should.

History renders comparisons murky and imprecise, but my point was more contingent on the availability of quality information than behavior.

Now, we know many things. Then, we did not know many things (although we perhaps believed more).

So an every-person (I'm talking generally, not only of the most scientific), plucked from a more ignorant time of history, would have a more developed method of dealing with confusion.

I don't quite buy the counter-argument (if this is yours?) that we're a more scientific society. I would have before COVID, but not now...
> Now, suppose I want to write a POSIX shell script that does trigonometric calculations. Should I actually use `bc`?

Yes, you should; `bc` includes trigonometric functions even in POSIX accessible by the `-l` flag.

However, I'm not sure why you would; if you know you have a `bc` implementation other than a strict POSIX `bc`, I would just use that, even in a POSIX shell script.

POSIX is extremely limited; it does not even have `else` for `if` statements! It also does not allow you to use comparison operators outside an `if` statement or loop header. It does not have `continue`.

On the other hand, my `bc` is known to work in just about every POSIX system, and there are ports for it in OpenBSD and NetBSD. It is also the system `bc` in FreeBSD for FreeBSD 13. It also builds on Linux for either glibc or musl, and there are packages for it in Arch AUR, Gentoo, and other smaller distros. And it's easy to build from source with zero dependencies.

In short, if you're going to write a shell script to do math, I'd personally find it more appealing to actually check for and install my `bc` than to use strict POSIX.

> Is there a "translator" that reads `GNU bc` or your `bc` for example, and converts it into POSIX-compliant bc? (meaning converting the symbols to one letter in a way that does not produce conflict, declaring all used variables in a function in the first line (auto), etc)

For the record, my `bc` and GNU `bc` still require the auto list. That's part of the standard, so we cannot really get away from it.

But as for the existence of a translator, no, there is not a translator. I could probably write one, and putting it in my `bc` would be easiest since my `bc` already has a parser.

However, I do not think that would be a good use of time; trying to translate some features, especially `continue` would be tough. `continue` would be tough because I would have to translate the loop into two loops and when exiting the loop, differentiate the case between exiting for a `continue` and an actual exit, and if on `continue` let the outer loop loop.

Also, some features just could not translate, I'm afraid. My `bc` has a full PRNG, which can generate numbers of arbitrary size and precision. There just would not be a way of translating that feature.

And putting the translator in my `bc` would sort of be useless; if you installed it for the translator, why not just use it?

If this message sounds annoyed, it's because I'm annoyed at POSIX, not you. The fact that they have not even standardized `else` really gets my goat; all implementations, besides the Plan 9 one, have `else`, even one that translates for `dc`. There's no excuse for not having it. And they also seem to limit it on purpose, with not allowing comparison operators outside of `if` and loops. (Oh, and you can only use ONE operator per `if` and loop!) Grr...

tl;dr: Yes, use `bc` for trigonometry in shell scripts, but use a full-featured `bc` if at all possible.
Mastodon uses an HTML microformat called h-feed for federation of user feeds. h-feed is based on hAtom, which is a microformat encoding of the Atom feed format. So your idea isn't all that far off from how the most popular federated social network system is designed (though there's more to it).

His dump of packets shows an MSS of 1380 versus the more common default 1460, which sounds like it's coming from something with tunneled traffic. MSS 1380 would correspond to a source MTU of 1420, which is a typical default for a GRE tunnel in IPv4sec Tunnel mode. Pretty sure that's what WARP is.
Japan has given us some very interesting lipid studies the past few decades.

One continued the analysis of the famous seven countries study, and it found that chronic heart disease rates appear at the least uncorrelated to lipid rates, if not in fact possibly lowered by increased cholesterol: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6086557/

They’ve also confirmed the heart sparing benefits of “good” cholesterol, HDL: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/01.STR.00000608...

On top of this, there are numerous studies showing that high total cholesterol (not just HDL) in women is linked to longevity and that perhaps that age and CHD advice on total/LDL cholesterol was only ever relevant for men. (See: https://www.karger.com/Article/Fulltext/342765 for a thoughtful review of current Japanese lipid suggestions and the literature on longevity and vascular disorder.)
There is nothing Alphabet could do to lose money. Nothing.

Could be. I know that if I had remained vegan, I probably wouldn’t be here now. I felt terrible. There were multiple things going on with my health - both physical and emotional - and vegan was helping exactly zero of them. And I was doing it on the advice of multiple physicians, two of them “integrative/functional medicine. I’ll take the conclusions I’ve drawn so far, thank you.
While I'll gladly criticise Google when they introduce yet more privacy invasion, this lawsuit is a stupid money grab and I hope Google wins this fight.

The entire lawsuit revolves around the idea that incognito ("private") browsing somehow implies that users aren't tracked at all, despite a clear, front-and-center warning that they still might be whenever you use it, purely based on the name alone.

Someone saw that law makers were going after big tech and wanted in on the action. This lawsuit servers nothing but the lawyers. If Google loses this, ANY name that COULD be ambiguous could become grounds for a lawsuit for billions despite all warnings you might add to software.
No, viewing the posts of the person with 50k+ followers is worth something, the dribs and drabs are just the cost of business.
This is definitely interesting. I'd be interested in a functional comparison with ssh using kerberos. Is the difference that each host can be totally independent? Does this project require a separate certificate management system? Perhaps you could use IPA or similar for your everyday machines, and HIBA for rarely accessed computers that you don't want in your domain.
Because ACAB is a dumb, reductive, poorly thought out slogan; and people that are dumb enough to spray paint on random property completely unrelated to the police aren’t people I’m going to listen to.

Where I currently work, we're only doing standups every other day. It's usually around 45 minutes, and most weeks, that's the only scheduled meetings we have! Then of course if I or a colleague need help or want to discuss something, we'll have an impromptu call for it as needed.

And this ain't no startup either: EA DICE can probably safely be described as a rather large company these days..

Of course, it might well be different in other teams, being a backend web developer I'm part of a somewhat unusual team in the context of a gaming studio.
At the moment, that type of research takes a lot of resources. In the future, I’m sure that will change, which is a bit worrying.
> Yeah, I meant that currently, there is no way to do non-trivial mathematical calculations with either of default builds of busybox* [1] or toybox [2]

Yeah, that is a fair assessment; thank you for clarifying.

Rob has said that when he goes through my `bc` and ensures it is up to his standards, he'll take it out of `pending` and put it in `posix`.

Honestly, I don't know why he won't just accept me as the maintainer of it; I know it's already up to his standards because my `bc` is more well-tested than the rest of toybox combined. And I've fuzzed it to the point where I am confident that it has no memory bugs.

Significant disagreements likely arise about what this means.

The problem isn't so much that video calls can be warranted, but that different people can have wildly different understandings of what that means.
Five Leadership Lessons I Learned from Microsoft, Netflix, Stack Overflow, GitLa
In my (thankfully limited) experience it was around responsibility and methods of escalation.

My read was that a team didn't want to be bothered with something, but I was working on a corporate priority, so we set a meeting, hashed out, and agreed on how issues should be brought to them.

When something happened down the road, the agreed process was followed, and they (surprisingly stubbornly) claimed they weren't responsible and shouldn't be contacted for this issue.
