I also wonder if we can take it a step further and apply a sort of "instance" versus "principle" science. 'Instance Science' is composed of studies that are trying to observe or experiment with something that is heavily influenced by uncontrollable variables and is highly likely to change. In some sense, the results are more like a snapshot in time than a durably reproducible phenomenon. What we typically call "soft science" and all those studies facing a reproducibility crisis fall into this bucket. Instance Science maps poorly onto "the real world".

Contrast that with 'Principle Science' in which studies are not affected by nearly as many uncontrollable variables and is more closely related to demonstrable cause-and-effect phenomena. The best examples are chemistry and physics. Biology is tricky to categorize in this because I see elements of both in it. For instance, a study investigating whether or not taking an increased dose of Vitamin B helps energy would most certainly belong in Instance Science, but the underlying mechanism of how Vitamin B is involved in the Krebs Cycle is Principle Science.

This idea is still in it's infancy and I'm curious to know people's thoughts on this distinction I'm trying to elaborate on.

> Wash trading is a process whereby a trader buys and sells a security for the express purpose of feeding misleading information to the market. In some situations, wash trades are executed by a trader and a broker who are colluding with each other, and other times wash trades are executed by investors acting as both the buyer and the seller of the security. Wash trading is illegal under U.S. law, and the IRS bars taxpayers from deducting losses that result from wash trades from their taxable income. [1]

Whew, good thing it's not a security, otherwise it would 100% absolutely be a half billion dollar illegal wash trade, and that kind of stuff comes with time in the big house. IANAL, but stunts, amirite?

Another great hidden feature is the LISTEN/NOTIFY system. You can use it to watch for changes on a table, and then use that to e.g. update a view in the UI.

For example create a table with a trigger on insert "NOTIFY new_data". Then on query do

SELECT ...;

Now you'll get the results and any future updates.

This only works with "new" definitions of racism. It is in fact plainly racist on it's face to demonize a group based on immutable characteristics. It is even worse when actual diversity of though is ignored and people of color are demonized because they don't agree with a race-marxist ideology.

That's what Comcast told them to say. Don't abuse them; have some empathy - you have to deal with Comcast for a few minutes; they have to deal with it all day every day, and take the bullets from customers for Comcast's support policies and training.

So to be clear the community is encouraging criminality and attempting to brow-beat folks suggesting compliance with the law into accepting said criminality? Sounds healthy, and definitely not like a cult.

It’s not a good look to be on the receiving end of government benefits and services, gloating about your lack of contribution and encouraging others not to. This may look good in crypto circles but here in the real world it makes you look pretty bad, not gonna lie.

Ask HN: How to Get Better at Finishing?
I'm not great at finishing projects at work.

I'm not great at finishing my own projects.

How can I get better at this? I've frustrated managers and even friends.

I've tried a lot of personal time management techniques.

I think I'm even good at identifying the critical steps forward for success. In group meetings, I'm lethal at cutting unnecessary work.

But somehow, when I go off by myself to actually do it, little gets done. Something in my brain seems to generate lots of complications to the tasks I am doing, and I lose enthusiasm and self-confidence.

I would pay for a coach, if they were familiar with this specific problem and not just general emotional support.

Just a thought about how it's weird we argue about how testing should be done online, but not the fact we test online things which are not really online in their nature.

The rebuttal letter is worth reading:

> "...We, the undersigned, disagree. Mathematics is a discipline whose language is universally accessible with good teaching. The claim that math is not accessible is an insult to the millennia of non-Western mathematicians and erases the contributions of cultures around the world to mathematics as we now know it. Large numbers of students in developing countries are currently succeeding in advanced mathematics, and American industries have been put in the position of having to encourage them to come to the United States to work... We believe infusing mathematics with political rhetoric is alien to mathematics as a discipline..." [1]

The snippets you gave of your init.el are really basic but I do agree with you: working on init.el (and using Git to revert SNAFUs) helped me learn enough elisp to be dangerous too.

The elisp I write is certainly not idiomatic but it gets the job done. I have some functions I wrote more than a decade ago and they still "Just Work [TM]"!

Sounds like it's more concerned with the opposite, human side - the madness that grips people who have some control and are terrified of losing it, so they use copyright (and lobbying for copyright enhancements and extensions) to keep themselves from ever having to relinquish anything they can't get back.

You need multiple rating systems for recipes and the lack of that model is why recipe sites are bullshit, and will continue to be bullshit.

A recipe that tastes bad should never be shown to anyone. But if there are two flavorful recipes and one of them has better instructions, then that's the one that should be sorted to the top. My go-to analogy for people being bad at documentation is to compare them to the variation in quality in cooking recipes. That's both a commentary on developer docs and on chef's docs.

I have been reworking a highly rated pie recipe. They have not covered browning the crust. They have made no mention of order and grouping of ingredients. If you follow the recipe literally, you're going to end up with a fluffy mix that won't fit in the pie tin. You're also going to get lumpy spices. That has a rustic appeal, but as the picture does not have lumps, the author is just bad at documentation. In my version, I split the spices so that you get a little texture but most are homogenized. I'm still experimenting with number of eggs. I've had 2 eggs (as in the recipe) taste eggy, and 3 eggs (minus a little egg white for the crust) taste fine, depending on how good the emulsion is, and that depends on order.

Most recipes still seem to be built on a model of fear and social barter. Fear that if Aunt Susie figures out Grandma Beth's brownie recipe, then nobody will 'have' to invite Grandma Beth to holidays or at least be excited to see her. If you want brownies then you need Grandma Beth.

No, which is kinda the point. Every platform makes decisions about what content is acceptable, this one has decided your hate speech is perfectly fine, but a photo of your dog is beyond the pale.

Twitter, Facebook etc. all make their own decisions about what is acceptable for you to post on their platform, and so does this "free speech" platform.
I always go to the same place, my programming directory, so for years I've done the sequence:

{cd Pr<tab><enter>cd c<tab><enter>}

Takes me to my current project folder, and there I can use gcc or vim or whatever I need to do. I thought about shortening it or setting my terminal to start in that directory but the ritual is important to me, it sets me in the right mood, for whatever reason.
Its a step that's never going to happen because its a terrible idea.
Good insights!
> I do think we might be better to stop meddling in the affairs of other countries that we ill-understand.

It’s been hundreds if not thousands of years at this point. Leaving it behind seems incredibly unlikely.
Ditching empire and empire building by a few countries would be an amazing thing to observe. My fear would be the various groups and countries that would likely seek to fill the void.

VR is also an excellent training tool for pre-defined tasks. The immersive part will make the learning more permanent, more kinesthetic and more real rather than reading a wall of text.
Centralized control under any corporation, especially MS, is a different concern from the project "not being open source" which is what the comment I replied to was talking about.

But yes, it is a valid concern for sure.
I mean, they can likely correlate that from their logs when you hit twitter and post if they really want to do that. Combine that with the info I bet Twitter sells on its users and it's got to be easy.

High Fidelity tried to build this and failed. I think one of the issues they had was that the whole hosting thing was pretty tricky and created barriers to having worlds up all the time, this meant there were never as many places to explore as other more closed systems like VRChat. I'm not totally sure how you solve for that, maybe they should have hosted some sites themselves?
They're both "make believe" in the sense that they're abstractions to move value around - except if you want a road or a hospital built, you use government currency, if you want to not get thrown in jail, you pay your taxes in government currency, both of those examples seem pretty not-make-believe to me.

Yes, it makes more sense to measure something fluid by volume when it doesn't fit on a scale.

Also, the fact that gasoline pumps are pressurised and standardise the volume based on a certain temperature should be a clue to one pitfall of volume-based measurements.
Yes I would be totally ok with that. Especially if that $100k include a real pension when I retire that I can depend on, no threat of my kids getting shot at school, health insurance that covers me when I get sick without having to go into bankruptcy, bike paths over the entire country, paternity for when I have a kid, subsidized child care for everyone so parents can be more sane, etc etc...

You think this is just about talent and it is not. It is combination of so many things such as taxes, social care, government ideology, culture in that country, retirement/pensions, cost of living in that location, minimum wage anchoring, how much it costs to dismiss someone, etc...

Also, barely anyone in the USA makes 350k, so this entire argument is kinda moot. Barely any developers make $350,000 so this comparison is just kinda crazy.

Indeed, I've seen Oxford pushing some Blockchain quickie courses. It seems like a double cross: smart people are not going to think it's the same as an Oxford degree (I'm biased on this but...) but you can still milk a few people for some money, in exchange for the brand.

I'm not sure in the long run the institution wins. As you do more and more of these courses your marketing gets more and more obvious. Social media feeds, that sort of thing. You don't want to be that school that sells diplomas.
Anti-vaxxers don't have an agenda, they have fear and anger. People selling products or trying to get votes have the agenda.
No, that's not correct. deviantArt and similar platforms have been around for years, and none of them have created the kind of income that NFT marketplaces have. Those older platforms were decent as communities, but their marketplaces were designed primarily to generate revenue for the platform itself, not as a free market for the artists providing the content, and it showed.

US House Republicans introduce strategy to establish national privacy standard
This to me is one of the sticking points I've been wondering about: Are VR/HR headsets just inherently too uncomfortable for mass adoption, or will we be willing to put up with them? Surely this depends on a lot of societal/economic factors (i.e. a "you do it or don't eat" job market, say) and the evolution of the form factor (size/weight/quality/individual ergonomic options).

Is it just a variant of "button-less on-screen keyboards?! we will never!" or is there something more fundamental?

I'm curious about the state of the art of serious research on this, if anyone has some good links/references.
Ideally, the services you use should handle that (detect a non-200 and fire off a backup method like a slack webhook or email.)

We don't have a system to pay for things. Bank transfers abroad are also a huge pain. You never know how much you're going to pay in fees. Every time you buy something with a credit/debit card or PayPal or any other payment provider the transaction costs are at least 3% and often much higher. Banks also exploit currency conversion at every possible step sometimes incurring ridiculous double conversion fees. Even normal conversion is often very costly.
It's a big chunk of online economy existing players extract rent from.

I never said it was simple. Your example is exactly the sort of thing I was referencing when I said "or realize it is so easy to poke holes in that they shouldn't". Because, obviously, assuming every IP on a torrent swarm (or whatever) is a lost sale is fallacious.

> The reason I've brought out capitalism is because it's the environment in which NFTs were born, and therefore its relationship with it should be talked about it.

NFTs are a world 3 construct (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popper%27s_three_worlds) and has no dependency on any economic system or even society to exist and the problem of using them to represent an ownership relation is not limited to any economic system either, but exists due to factors inherent in both the concept of ownership and what NFTs are. NFTs can't reach from world 3 into world 1 by themselves and this is no more or less a problem in any specific economic system.
