> I feel like this respect for being nice to each other so we can all get along is on the wane.

I think this is depending on how you see it. The modern landscape with social media makes activists very effective in creating information campaigns that raises awareness of how to be polite in a modern world. Eg. nowadays personal pronouns are complicated business but finding out and respecting individuals chosen pronouns are considered polite. A successful change of culture that increases empathy and respect of fellow humans in general. But the downside is that the opinions of the people who don't want to be polite in this way are also amplified and they may want to resist and pushback that triggers them to be contrary and act with less empathy and politeness to make their point. The thing is, positive changes in culture usually last and backwards reactionary people die so that makes me kinda hopeful.

If someone attempts to degrade someone's emotional or mental state, that's something that should be stigmatized. But, that doesn't mean that the individual is not completely responsible for his own mental state, in the sense meant by Stoics. It's not about things, but our thoughts about things, which are ultimately under our control. We may play the victim, but we'd only be fooling ourselves.

Hey FDSGSG I see you used my comment to implement your reply. As you no doubt know my API usage policy is 30% of your gross.

Note, you cannot deduct the 30% your electric utility charges you, nor the 30% your PC monitor maker charges you, nor the 30% your desk maker charges, you'll have to figure out how to finance your development out of the other -40%.

If this is not acceptable obviously you could have written your reply to my comment under any other comment. There are many other comments you could freely leave your reply to me under. You choose to use my comment to base your reply to no doubt because that's the only one I read. Still of course, I do not have a monopoly on replies to me under all posts on the internet. Replies under my comment are of course not a monopoly because you can freely reply to me anywhere else. For example, you could have replied to my post on your grandma's Facebook.
Full title: COVID-19 mortality risk correlates inversely with vitamin D3 status, and a mortality rate close to zero could theoretically be achieved at 50 ng/ml 25(OH)D3: Results of a systematic review and meta-analysis (Borsche, L., Glauner, B., von Mendel, J.).

> Research shows that blood calcidiol (25(OH)D3) levels correlate strongly with SARS-CoV-2 infection severity [...] There is open discussion regarding whether low D3 is caused by the infection or if deficiency negatively affects immune defense [...] The two datasets provide strong evidence that low D3 is a predictor rather than a side effect of the infection

The article is a good summary of typical business models! I also learned a lot by trying to answer the (Bonus question: what did the U.S. give to China in exchange for its china?) - fur and opium.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_China_Trade

The article lists the following: Move, Store, Transform, Farm, Build, Mine, Health, Research, Information (Supply/Demand, Law, Journalism).

I'm pretty sure this is a comprehensive list. Can anyone think of anything I've left out?

Music and art come to mind as not being "useful information" but still appealing, because they reflect and enhance culture, which brings people together.

As for wealth storage, I heard another list of investment advice being told on a Sunday morning: stocks, bonds, and property.

I winced, because I don't trust the stock market (even though I do believe that some companies have great potential. Government bonds require political stability, which I worry about. Property values are destroyed in war or natural disasters, both of which I expect are likely to occur in my lifetime.

What could we invest in instead? Philanthropy. We could just give it all away! Building guanxi will endure even huge economic changes. Laptops and phones come and go, but Hacker News karma is forever ;-)

Count me along the people who got started programming because there's a button right there telling you it's possible to make the machine do your bidding.

I don't know why everybody else who isn't a programmer gave a shit, but if you had a modicum of curiosity about that button did, the manual came with it and the button was right there.

Bear in mind that Windows 95 was all but ending most people's exposure to DOS, and even if that wasn't the case, it's not like DOS displayed a banner on startup reading "why don't you type qbasic and see what happens?".

It was a lot less immediately obvious that you could program a computer and that there were tools to do so included. And the paper manual didn't exactly cover how to use qbasic.

GNOME WebKit definitely isn't Safari. A lot of websites that work in Safari were broken in WebKit last time I tried it.

It does replicate a lot of buggy behaviour in Safari so from what I can tell you can be reasonably sure that your website works in Safari if it works in WebKit, but that's the only use I've found for it so far.

As for a good UI on Windows, I think you should be able to compile GNOME's WebKit browser for Windows. It'll look terribly out of place like any GNOME application in a different environment, but I think it should work well enough to use?

Why Your Data Warehouse Should Be the Foundation of Your CDP
Just curious, were you optimising for storage or serving costs, and were the expected savings realized? I've been itching to try live serving out of B2, but its latency jumps around quite a lot, and the hot cache layer does not stream large (>100MB) objects during first fetch, so it's not without some downsides.
So Bezos is middle class then? Questionably useful definition imo.

I think you overestimate the number of people who want to so lock themselves into a particular provider that they would use that provider's auth systems.

There are lots of different use cases for lots of different things. Since Cloudflare doesn't have the compute-type services that AWS has, rather is more specifically aimed at web-serving type services, I think their design here makes a lot of sense.

As a user that Cloudflare would target (someone who works on web sites and web-based apps), IAM is an annoyance to me that I would gladly not use on AWS if I could just toggle it off and replace it with a simpler permissions system.
I agree the part about the low expectations of the foundation isn't constructive, but I feel like some open display of emotion is necessary after a person openly refuses to have an honest discussion. In the PR she repeatedly ignores the maintainer to push her changes. Then in the 'apology' she doesn't really apologize and isn't really straightforward about what really happened. In the PR the maintainers were pretty reasonable in their communication and it didn't really change the directors approach. I feel like when communicating with someone who repeatedly works in bad faith at some point all you can do is walk away. This emotional poster is doing that but before doing so making sure it is clear to others that this is not okay. I think that's better than saying "I repectfully disagree" because that makes it seem like it's just a slight misunderstanding rather than someone working in bad faith.
AWS Elasticbeanstalk is a reasonable choice for most cases.

Right. As a sibling comment says, sex-selective abortion skews this further. That apart, though, males tend to die off more quickly, and soon there are slightly more females.
My take on the book (which I think is the more common one) is that it's a criticism of a form of 'soft' fascism. People are placed on a rigid hierarchy where everybody is biologically conditioned to belong to a certain caste. At least the individuals of the upper caste live a carefree life of empty consumerism and everybody is constantly intoxicated with happiness-inducing narcotics.

While it's not unfair to suspect Huxley of primitivist nostalgia, I don't think his reaction is against progressive modernity, feminism, leftism in general. The fear to my mind is of something like Taylorism/Fordism taken to its extreme [1].

What I've always found more compelling in BNW as compared to explicitly totalitarian dystopias (1984 etc.) is precisely that the dehumanizing, alienating, oppressive nature of the system is hidden. On the face of it it's a utopia, nothing to complain about. The abomination shows itself when you read a bit between the lines.

Nobody has a switch to just turn off all power in the Philippines either. That wasn't the point. The point is that it's a massive energy waste that grew the same exact way a cancer does--out of virtually nowhere and uncontrollably. If it never would've existed, that's a huge amount of waste that simply wouldn't exist either.

Bitcoin is anything but efficient. It takes massive amounts of energy to make a simple transaction. Far more than any current currency transfer network. If it continues to grow, and if it would horrifically become mainstream, energy usage would be several magnitudes higher than it is now.

Right now its primary uses are for bringing more people into the scheme to eventually dump for cash, and to exchange for illicit materials online. It's a very niche case used by a tiny, tiny fraction of the total population, and it already consumes more energy than many entire countries. Extrapolate that energy usage to 1000x the current population and 1000x the current usage to assume everyone is in on it and using it regularly for normal transactions--at a minimum, we're hitting 1000x energy usage rates.

That's energy usage exceeding China and America's total energy usage combined. Just to send bits on a network. You'd be more efficient carting blocks of gold manually across the world for every transaction.
I think back when firefox was gaining popularity there wasn't really a public awareness for the need for a privacy focused browser. In other words, even fewer people than right now would've been interested in buying it because they didn't really think they needed it.

Warp was the codename for OS/2 3.0, IBM used Star Trek related codenames like Riker (2.0.1) and Borg (2.1) for OS/2 at the time.

> I reckon within a decade the UK will find some way to rejoin the more important parts of the EU in-all-but-name, including (possibly!) even joining Schengen to alleviate all of the issues with labour shortages, tourism, and the rest - as well as seeking de-jure regulatory alignment - because the UK is really not the super-desirable market the Daily Express likes to believe it is.

Workers wages have been increasing since Brexit because they can't hire cheap labour from the continent. The Labour shortage will be solved as wages / salaries increase for those jobs and people reskill or move into those jobs as they become more desirable. The problem will solve itself in time. This is already happening. HGV drivers day rate has increased from something like £120 per day to £200.

Every short term disruption will be blown out of proportion unfortunately e.g such as the current fuel crisis, the media irresponsible reporting of the situation caused a panic. The actual shortages weren't severe at all. There would have been some disruption, not actual punch ups on petrol station forecourts.

> I also sincerely believe the UK will also likely rejoin the EU proper - probably within a generation from now: the age demographics of the leave and remain demographics are stark - it's even been said if the Brexit referendum were held 2 years later then remain would have won simply because enough members of older generations (which lean heavily Leave) would have died off.

It really depends. Most people once the result was decided was supportive of "just getting on with it" from polling I saw. Many people unfortunately have been sold the idea that the only thing that matters is cheap and easy travel, cheap labour and foreign investment and be damned with any other concerns that the older generations understood far better than the younger generation. As people get older their views change. When I was in my 30s I was very pro-EU and globalisation. Now I am quite against it.

I'm in web development. We usually ask a recruiting company to send us CVs and they don't have any photo or name.

That way we make our choice based only on the person's experiences (thi also prevents us from contracting this person directly, which is fair game I think).

The only time we see names is if the person does not come from a recruiting company, and even then there are not pictures.
Consider that, in the US military, you may work eight hours a day, five days a week, but you're on call every hour until you separate. Including nights, weekends, and vacations a thousand miles away. Failure to show up can potentially lead to jail time, fines, or other punishments. It's hard to directly compare active duty military life to a civilian job, and I don't know how to adjust compensation for an accurate comparison.

The Brave system is pretty simple, though? They sell ad space, people buy ad space. Brave shows you ads and keeps a cut, they give their users a cut. Brave has a tipping service which lets users tip sites they like. End result is advertisers can advertise, and people making content get some of the ad money, the setup's just built to not track people.

The big concern there is that ads that don't track are generally less valuable so even widespread adoption of Brave's system would cause a decrease in ad revenue, same as Apple's recent anti-tracking changes.
The trick is, you can't, unfortunately. You can have relevant ads that encroach on your privacy, or you can have possibly irrelevant ads that don't. If we are considering all possibilities, they could have precomputed some magic to do it all locally, but I have doubts about that because it seems more difficult to do that than just slap an identifier on your keystrokes and consult their ad-partner API.

I’ve never used it. But it was included in a list someone else linked to in this thread.
Lots to unpick. On your point about schengen: schengen does nothing to tourism (UK was not part of schenghen and the list of visa free countries for tourism is pretty much the same between Schenghen and the UK) or labour shortage (Schenghen isn’t about your right to work, EU citizens had the right to work in the UK even though the UK wasn’t in schenghen).

And the point visa makes it pretty much trivial for well paid engineers to get a work visa in the UK. Where it makes it difficult is for low wage, low skill labour, which will create shortages, but I think that’s by design, whether you think it’s a good idea or not.

I don’t think that tariffs would affect CPU much either, I understand it is mostly cars or agricultural products that are deeply affected. Not the least because you can see that the EU is importing most of its CPUs right now, doesn’t seem to be much of a barrier.

I wouldn’t bet too much on the demographics helping remain in the long term. By conformism or risk aversion mostly there tends to always be a large mass behind the statu quo (which is why brexit winning was surprising). I think that will play both ways.
If miners were to stop mining the difficulty (the computing power needed to mine blocks of transactions) would drop and people like me would start mining. So where did all the existing work go? It went into improving the security of the chain that my mining program is adding blocks to. That basically means that for someone to completely rewrite the provenance of all the bitcoin before the point where miners stopped mining, they’d have to replicate the same amount of work that was originally put into making that history. With less people of ordinary means working on the chain, the security of the blocks generated will be decreased. This is because it would then be easier to launch attacks on the chain and erase history and double spend, but the community could easily be rebuilt to a point where it is no longer feasible for a malicious actor to compete with the miners again.

It got named Warp as a marketing thing from v3.0 onwards.

Apparently it was a codename that went public:

https://microsoft.fandom.com/wiki/OS/2#1994.E2.80.931996:_Th...

OS/2 2.x included a lot of 16-bit code in an allegedly 32-bit OS. 3.x replaced most of this, was supposed to be faster and more stable as a result, and it also included the ability to incorporate your existing install of Windows 3 and run it under OS/2 in place of the previously-bundled "WinOS2".

So it could take your existing 16-bit OS and apps and warp them into a new 32-bit OS that could use hundreds of megs of RAM and multitask dozens of apps.

It was meant to indicate "warp speed", Star Trek style, but IBM didn't get permission first...
