You make this about morality, but we feel pleasure when we eat nutritious food because this is how we can identify what we should and shouldn't eat. It is a mechanism that developed at a time when food was not plentiful and now that there is a lot more food to eat, it causes people to become overweight, because of course they can't turn off their sense of fulfillment and satisfaction from a plentiful meal! Nor their cravings for nutritious food.

The food industry on the other hand takes very deliberately advantage of this human characteristic and stuffs its products full of ingredients that create a sense of pleasure withouth actually being nutritious: fat, sugar, salt and all sorts of taste, flavour and appearance enhancers (emulsifiers, colourings, flavourings, etc).

Other animals are not any different than humans in that. If you've been around animals at all, pets or farm animals, you will know that when it's lunch time, they go absolutely crazy. Animals are wired to seek out the food that gives them pleasure just as much as humans are- and that's because humans are animals and our apetites are animal apetites.

You make out the pleasure of feeding as all about morality, but it is a morality that is not grounded in material reality.
I also find that to be a weird stance. People can hold USD or stablecoin a on their Coinbase account if they wish. For people who choose to hold assets other than USD, it seems more logical to replace those assets. Coinbase already trades all of them. Or, since this was a Coinbase flaw, allow the user to choose whether they want the original assets restored or the dollar value at the time of theft (since in theory they could have sold). This way Coinbase feels more pain, but customers should be happy because they come out no worse and possibly better off.
Yes—was messing with this yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28715206. The first change was

.title a { word-break: break-all; }

which definitely has the problem you describe. The second change was

.title a { word-break: break-word; }

What's not clear to me is whether you're seeing the latter, which means things are currently broken, or if you were seeing a cached version of the css. Can you double check that? If break-word is still bad, I'll take the whole thing out.

There is already software for steno/chorded typing, like plover. Their product could be more ergonomic than other chord inputs, where you sometimes press two keys with the same finger at once.
This is true, but you can do it as a long term solution.

Just change a non-forest area into a forest area and keep it this way long term. Trees will die in this area but will be replaced by new trees automatically. So you have an amount of CO² bound to this forest long term.

My guess is that it is because electronic customs info is now mandatory (e.g. US STOP Act), and the printed labels come from a system that can transmit this info.

With handwritten labels the postal service at the shipping end would have to read them and push the data to an electronic system manually.

In Finland handwritten customs labels are still allowed, but you need to register the customs data online since Dec 2020 (or the cleark can do it at the counter).

This is a "review" from someone that claimed they didn't finish the book, or, perhaps they did on a previous reading, but don't remember reading it, and the reviews details are not only sparse, but don't make it out of the first few chapters (or even first few pages) with a few cherry picked claims the review author doesn't like.

I haven't read the book, but I'm not about to take critical advice on it from someone who hasn't either.
There is no "standard library function" for inverting a binary tree. That's not a thing that exists, probably anywhere in any standard library for any language, and even if it did you should still know how to write it yourself.

Also the article you linked doesn't argue that you shouldn't know how to write a linked list, it argues that you should implement ADT operations in functions instead of trying to wing it with ad-hoc logic all over the place. Blizzard's developers were definitely smart enough implement a doubly-linked list one time, they were just fallible humans who got tripped up consistently implementing the same logic in a hundred different places.

I don't think that's a given for people alive today. Climate change happens on a global scale, not a human scale. People wont "feel" it's change.

I'm happy to make sacrifices, but a lot of vocal people are not.

We need to stop talking about "making sacrifices". We need to get people excited about the amazing opportunities all this work provides us.

It's exciting to me that we need to replant our forests. We have new power plants to build. New desalination plants! New farming technologies!

So much work in so many industries, it can be an exciting time of growth if you ask me!
Every job I've gotten had no reference from my most recent employer. How would that work, anyway? Most people look for a new job in secret, while they still have their old one, and giving their current employer as a reference would spill the beans.
My pet theory is that Jewish culture didn't suffer from the generational drain of monastic orders. In Medieval times, a smart Jewish kid – especially future Rabbis – would be expected to "be fruitful and multiply". A smart Catholic kid would more often become a celibate cog of the Church, thus ending their line.
I visited the center of France recently, and there are a mix of natural and commercial forests. Commercial forests don't look like forests, they look like monocrop fields, that happen to have trees instead of corn or wheat.

Bea Johnson's book Zero Waste Home (and talks) is the go to on how to start.

My gf works towards a 'zero-waste' household, but you'd have to cut back on a lot of products. It's not impossible, but it does require sacrifice. However, you will discover new things which will compensate for that.

I can recommend you give it a go though, maybe for just a month. You'll learn a lot, discover interesting new products and your local zero-waste shops and sharpen your overall awareness about everyday use of plastic.

No. One can oppose the bill for lots of reasons, including a lack of faith that any of the taxes, regulations and spending will have the effect you and the politicians who wrote it think it will. Or one might oppose it because one thinks it doesn't go far enough. Either way mind reading isn't helpful.
IIRC the quote I've seen on HN, it wasn't "nuke USSR as soon as possible", but more like "given that you already want to nuke Moscow tomorrow, why not do it today?".

The way I see autonomous driving is trough reality, not trough fanboism or 'tech fetishism'.

The current stable driving assistant systems must be secondary to real driving.
They are capable of critical prevention and effective safe-nets and when done properly they reduce risk tenfold.
Idea of beta-testing on the public roads by creating consumer disinformation is outrageous and must be stopped.

It is beyond believe, how regulations are soft towards applications of technologies with direct effect on human lives. My area of expertise is in UI/UX and the simplest logic possible is called ergonomic prerequisite.

Every system must exist as a 100% functionality before some form of control surface is introduced. Every control surface must be human oriented. In car UX, the main function is driving and everything that reduces risk of removing focus from the road is good UX, everything that creates distraction and complication is not only bad UX - it is dangerous.

In car touch interfaces are exciting for people who hate driving and love their phones. This is the main selling point. It is the result of marketing driven design and enormous amount of production savings (when removing physical controls for dedicated functions) as a business motivational vector.

This will not work long-term. The Idea of vehicles as a SaaS platform also will not work. This will be CX hell and people will reject it.

No you don't, the only thing separating mad max without cars from hell is if you can communicate and not feel lonely, a global 3D action MMO is the only thing that makes sense, meatspace is about to become a mess!

The 3D action part of this equation is very important, without it you cannot trick the reptile brain that you are actually there, 3D MMORPGs don't trigger this at all, f.ex!

Also if you use that excuse to keep building wasteful software you are not part of a solution.

Apple is a piece of shit. I worked in an Apple affiliated call center and this was an atrocious low paying job that took advantage of Texas’ and the then recession to get labor at bargain prices. After ten years of pulling my self from mire that was 2008 my application at Apple was put jnto quest because had quit the call center job some 8 years before. Apple came to Austin so it could avoid paying taxes it uses slave labor in china and really doesn’t have product that is that necessary. They dont pay their taxes, they over and over are not a contributor to the common good of this country.

> Maybe this is what Marx was referring to when he talked about a lack of class consciousness.

All these ideological movements such as communism, inquisition or social justice warriors subserve the individual to the collective struggle, usually by force. Who loves to be spoon fed propaganda or cancelled "for the success of the greater cause"? They attack their own people even more viciously than the others for crimes such as original thinking which is nothing else than heresy to them. They reject the very basis of debate and logic-based reasoning, preferring to spread stories with emotional appeal and moral judgements instead. They cause a chilling effect on society, people live in fear of being persecuted for any reason, learn to be docile and lack the courage to change anything.
I realize it was a little disrespectful of me to dismiss the many people who have made huge sacrifices to help prevent the virus both here in Australia and the US. The lockdowns have been very tough, and many businesses ruined. I'm in a two week quarantine after a close contact in a supermarket right now.

I should have suggested that "some" people will not change, and they will be very vocal. Many politicians will want their vote, and its not clear to me who will have the majority in our democracies.
For me personally, the statement that got me through grad school was "because I can".

Agree. Early web development was a compability nightmare. Now that one platfrom rules the world it is less of a problem. It seems that making a standard failed, and we solved the problem by adopting the same platform.

So it looks like the transaction price to update the billboard is “ 0.009975466857533094 Ether ($32.79)”

This is what makes me think Etherium is just for speculators as there are no use cases where a $32 transaction fee makes sense.

This is ending up like Ticketmaster with the completely useless fees.

It costs less to trade on CharlesSchwab than Eth.

Otherwise seems like a fun project, but too expensive to be fun.
The premise of this discussion nicely encapsulates the problems with the cryptosphere, especially the advocates and maxis. The idea that you can't discuss technical issues because they might be political is the height of CC absurdity.

A few years ago I wrote a browser based PvP rougelikelike. Just a hobby project. I wanted to add microtransactions. Payouts for NPC and player kills, along with a mechanism to bid into the game. The near religious devotion to different cryptocurrency ecosystems was off putting when looking for a solution. That, and the multitudes of projects with flashy landing pages, poor documentation, ridiculous tooling and loads of gotchas for implementation.

In the end I found another altcoin that satisfied my needs for the project. No fees, decentralized and validated transactions in seconds or less. Simple to use, less gotchas and flashy marketing, but as with any coin there were plenty of maximalists.

That didn't stop users from asking, "Why didn't you use [favored coin]?"

Technical merits were of no concerns for maximalists, who continually emphasized, "number go up" or some imagined impending price action. Nobody seemed to care what was actually delivered, but everyone was constantly espousing the technological virtues of their preferred ecosystem.

If cryptocurrency is to be taken at face value, as a mechanism for transacting, one would expect that usability would be a concern. LN is a good example of this. There are simply too many steps and potential failure modes. Yet that isn't a concern for advocates. They're more interested in the valuation and their own sunk costs.

This is why cryptocurrency isn't taken more seriously. Yes, there is the potential to transact and do things with it, but the community is more interested in speculation. Critiques about 'politics' are a good illustration of where speculative mania overtakes the actual value proposition. Hope you can appreciate the irony.
I don't think you read until the end. Dr Fleischman isn't advocating against planting trees to store carbon. He is against planting trees as a metric, without proper follow up, without consulting local experts, without concerns for local communities, etc.

As such, a business focused on the number of trees planted will have the wrong incentives and the results will be counter productive.
Meh, people will not get tired of this it seems. What did the eternal repeating of this ever net you? A tentative promise that they will support the right to repair movement, one they are not obligated to fulfill, and of course it’s always in the future.

That’s the best you could hope for with such naive activism.

Anecdotal evidence: out of 20+ people with iPhones I know, only one ever had to send it for repairs. In our backwater Eastern Europe this still took only two days: he got a brand new one without having to pay a penny.

I get it, devices we buy must be repairable. Lately I bought a laptop and I’m looking forward to upgrading its RAM and SSD by myself. And I’ll enjoy decommissioning my old gaming PC in a year or so by disassembling it and selling it in parts. I too want repair ability in my tech, and I enjoy practicing it.

But apparently Apple will not budge. It’s astonishing how people are under the illusion that talking is going to sway one of the biggest company entities on the planet. And it makes for pretty boring news.

I find this confirming that all tech companies lie and push the narrative. Their explanation is that Theranos did it more than others which I think is true. But there was not a qualitative difference, just difference in scale, like in an example of speeding. The point that companies usually don't lie is not true – even Tesla lies about their autopilot capabilities and have failed to achieve the promised goals. The difference is of course that Tesla has a good product but Theranos never had it.

Also the attempt to say that Theranos was not a tech company is baffling. What else would you call creating advanced medical diagnostic devices? It was a specific but a tech nevertheless.

If you're into that kind of thing, the Smithsonian runs a program whereby you can donate your body to it, and they'll use beetles to strip your flesh from the skeleton (which is what they want to study). I don't have any link to intake forms (probably findable if you dig hard enough) -- I know this only because my spouse worked at the Smithsonian a while back, and I knew researchers who were in the department that handled this.
Ah, very possible it was a caching issue. It is back to good behavior for me now (maybe my cache was just refreshed?)
Being a nerd in the African academic environment
It might be a bit of a stretch but recently I was doing a large amount of 3D FDM printing using PLA. The lowest layer tends to be razor sharp on its edges due to being squished a bit more and those edges were creating micro cuts on my fingers...long story short I found my joints began aching almost like arthritis, a few days after I stopped printing the pain went away. Has anyone else experienced this? If so wouldn't this also be cobsidered relevant to this patent toxicity research? I would expect many other materials used for FDM would also have these sharp edges and be even more toxic.
From a presentation last year by a researcher that works on the toxicity of nanoplastics at The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, I recall that they so far haven't found evidence of the toxicity of nano- and microplastics even if you would assume high exposure scenarios (e.g. having a diet consisting of only plastic-laden oysters), but that further research needs to be undertaken.

Their website on the topic (in German[0]) states the same thing: No evidence that they pose any health risk to humans, but further research is necessary for any conclusive statements.
