Give you a break? Listen, I'm sorry but at this point all I'm going to say to you is: Nichts towarisch. Give me your watch.
This paper was published in Scientific Reports.

This is a lower tier Nature series journal where

Nature = flagship;

Nature XXXX (where XXXX is Neuroscience, Genetics, Methods, Metabolism…) makes up specialized second tier;

Nature Communications is a second or third tier non-specialized series journal (but still high impact)

Scientific Reports is nominal third or fourth tier.

But take this with a large dose of skepticism. The text, code, data, and metadata, are the true metrics if quality and generality of results.

And from my own work: if a study involves rodent models check if the authors studied just one type of mouse or rat. If so then consider most biological claims as provisional n=1 efforts. Unfortunately the reductionist mindset has won the day and last five decades. This is almost always true in neuroscience and genomics, fields in which well over 90% of science relies on the C57BL/6 mouse or the SD rat. As a result, claims may be exceedingly fragile—like doing all human studies with a single clone of one specific human.

Yes, it is nuts.

There is a package called „black“ (pip install black) that formats code according to PEP8 (most of the time). You might take a look if you’re interested. I’m using it occasionally and it didn’t do anything royally stupid until now. If the code isn’t syntactically correct it won’t run.
>Virtual fences keep the cows in designated areas,

While the idea of vibrating collars to steer cattle makes me uneasy (what comes next?), I am somewhat hopeful this can address the issue of barbed wire fences.

Interestingly, the idea of remotely controlling cattle was discussed several years ago in an article outlining the the issues with fences: https://prairieecologist.com/2015/03/17/hubbard-fellowship-b...
It's not a guarantee, but an environment/language that yells at you when you try to pass a boolean to a function that should only ever accept a string is going to result in a more correct program than one that just... doesn't say anything and lets you happily do things that make zero sense.
That approach is new to me, I'm as I like planning my vacations ahead of time, and am more flexible on when I switch jobs.

Have you ever run into a situation where you realize it's not a good fit a few days into the process? Do you cancel your vacation, or do the rest of the days go to waste?
Same point with public toilets. People will eliminate their waste; it's up to the community to decide where they will put it.
Doing this at the hardware level is premature optimization.
I cannot wait to for game mods to enable right click, save as functionality in games.
depends what "training" means. it could be as simple as herding the cows as you normally would while also giving them the nagivational instructions from the collar at the same time, and then after 5 days you can start using the collar only.

I don't know if NFTs solve this problem, or if there is a better solution without NFTs. But I can see a person winning buying or earning content in a game that they want to be able to authenticate. Obviously the servers of a game can authenticate that content but maybe it is possible to have content that is independently validated so that no change of ownership could prevent you from being able to claim your prize.

I don't know if that would really work and I don't know if there is a better way. But as people value digital things more and more in games I can see the idea of having a permanent version of something you achieved or bought as having an enhanced value.

I am no expert so please poke holes in this idea!
I know it’s not popular here, but unions are a counterweight to political power of corporations. As professionals we’ve been conditioned to “not talk politics” at work… the one place where you engage most with political decisions. But thankfully we as workers have the freedom to pool our money and fund our coworkers to engage in politics on our behalf.

Perfect? No. But it seems like the alternative is to throw up our hands and let unelected billionaires hoover up all the senators.
>If I know your maximum price before the auction, I can do whatever is in my power to be able to exceed that price, if I choose.

But don't you have a limited budget? If your budget is $40M, and you know that the DAO is going to bid all the way up to $50M, how does that help you? You will still lose the bid. Conversely, if your budget is $50M, and you know that the DAO will only bid to $40M, how does that help you? During open bidding (ie. non-sealed bid), the bids go up incrementally, so after the DAO placed its bid, all you need to do is increase your bid by the minimum increment and you'll win. Using the strategy of "increment the minimum amount until you reach your budget" gets the same result.

One suggestion that I've heard, based on a lot of research, is to give Congress more relative power by having more closed door committees and committee votes.

The problem being if Congressional activities are too transparent, then the power shifts to whomever can lobby the best, which often means who can best track the behaviors and intimidate people into behaving certain ways. While citizens can view more with transparency, we often don't, and the richest companies and orgs do.

I've tried to loop in James to shed more on the research behind it but it's at congressionalresearch.org
It's already starting to happen. It won't be something that happens decades in the future. The disruption of EVs by hydrogen technology is likely a current event.

I think its time we start realizing that much of the "efficiency" argument is an exaggeration or a lie. EVs aren't that efficient especially in cold weather, and fuel cell cars aren't really that far off. The other big issue is the inability to capture excess renewable energy. As we keep on building out more renewables, we're finding out that curtailed energy is growing exponentially. Pretty soon the vast majority of renewable energy will just go to waste. Hydrogen allows to use that energy, but batteries won't. Combined with the huge resource requirements of batteries it's clear that this technology is primed for a major stumble.
In my opinion it's not really that high quality compared to the competition anymore (though it's still a good keyboard). They used to be, but the high end keyboard market has gone nuts the past few years and the HHKB is not really that competitive anymore for the money. They still have the reputation appeal and have kept the price high despite tougher competition, which is working for them but that is why people criticize them.

Not that I necessarily agree with that take, like I said if people are still paying what they ask for them then that's great for them.

There are mechanical keyboards that are lower profile. I felt the same as you with my old Filco Majestouch-2 with MX Blues, but switched to a Logitech G915 with MX Browns and enjoy it a lot more.

The key travel is still the same, but I found that having the tops of the keys closer to the desk surface made it a lot less straining.

I also recommend a desk chair that lets your forearms rest so that your wrists are parallel with and just slightly above the desk surface, so that your fingers are sort of pecking down (L shape) instead of curled (J shape). For any keyboard, but it matters more the taller the keyboard.
Thanks :). I am definitely enthusiastic. That's the only way.

And for sure, it's hard to change behavior in general. It's been hard for me—and I made this product. Sometimes I send a message to someone and I'm like: "Why did I sent that instantly?" But I've been improving.

For Pony to be successful at some kind of scale, there will need to be "influencers" (aka "leaders"?) who help makes this someone of a culturally relevant movement. Finding those people and getting them on board will be a big focus of my marketing effort.

Cattle have individual personalities. Some like to stay centered within the herd, and some prefer to be hundreds of yards away. When left to find their own way in a large enclosure, my cattle typically form much smaller groups, like 15-20. This might not matter, if a particular pasture can be protected by controlling the herd's general behavior.

Peacock has Battlestar Galactica but the Caprica prequel is on NBC only for cable customers. Disney+ can’t put the Spider-Man movies next to the other Marvel movies. When Doctor Who first came to HBO Max, you couldn’t watch it on a Roku TV because it wasn’t HBO Now or HBO Go. The industry is littered with exclusive regional contracts that continually expire and don’t make sense to the customers.
The idea that cost determines value is literally Marxism and it failed economically every time it was tried.

What matters is the end result, and proof of work is very bad even if cost is ignored - there were multiple 51% attacks on smaller PoW coins while even tiny DPoS coins work well, as far as the consensus itself is concerned.

PoW is insecure and extremely expensive. The writing is on the wall - after ethereum finally fully switches away from mining anti-PoW marketing is going to increase 10x. Supporting bitcoin will become synonymous with wanting to destroy the environment.
Regardless of malice, it makes them incompetent in the world that younger people live in. For example, I would expect the vast majority of senators (and other politicians) are completely detached from how people use and want to use the Internet. That’s why we have moments like Clintons “Pokémon Go to the polls”… despite being the most popular mobile game of all time at the time, completely miss the zeitgeist.

It's fun to nerd out about tools and play with them. There aren't a lot of ways you can customize standard hardware and keyboards are an easy case for all sorts of little things, different colors, etc. and you use it all of the time.

I don't think a lot of the details around key types matter in any serious way, but it's a fun computer related peripheral to play with.

You're totally right and tapping into the herd dynamic is really the only way to get substantial movement to happen with anything. That's why culture and society is so focused on leadership, right? My hope is that I will be able to get "influencer"-type people to help lead the way. Without that, people will continue moving in their current direction. But with leaders, I think adoption of anything is possible.
> in my area the prisoners do it from the jail

From a relatively well-known perspective, that is essentially slave labor. The argument is this: The Constitution's 13th Amendment, which banned slavery, made an exception for prisoners. The obvious path, which many believe was taken, was to arrest many of the same people who were enslaved and use them as slave labor. And after segregation was ended in the 1960s, the US government's 'war on drugs' began the era of mass incarceration, which resulted in the former victims of segregation going to jail in large numbers.

There are arguments for doing it too, and picking up trash isn't hard labor. However, we need to think about who ends up picking up trash for a minor infraction, and who gets a warning and is sent home (I now nothing about your county in particular).
I'd give the odds of that to be in the same ballpark as a 3-Letter-Agency-resistant communications platform.

Any telco people here that can explain the technicals of how or why it’s still possible to spoof a phone number? Is this just how the whole system works?

When I use Twilio, I have to prove to them that I control a phone number before I can use Twilio make outbound calls or send SMS messages that appear to originate from my number. This suggests to me that the system is built with assumed trust, like email was originally. Is everything too ingrained at this point to add some type of authentication that would prevent this type of spoofing? Something similar to a CAA record, where the owner of a phone number could say “legitimate calls from this number will only originate from $TELCO and $SMS_PROVIDER” would be nice.

Work on developing your inner score card. The way you feel about yourself should have zero, zip, zilch to do with what other people around you are doing.

Benchmarking yourself against other smart people is just the kind of dumb stuff smart people do, and you shouldn’t do it. After all, what is smart? high iq? Wealth? happiness?

It’s also insane how many people operate with an outer score card like this. Pretty much everyone, but you don’t have to.

Here’s a start: be a decent person who is kind to others. Take pride in that. Keep points on your inner score card. Surely you can look around you and see how many people no matter how “smart” or “successful” lack these qualities. Not all of them but plenty

> But even digital-first publications suffer to make a profit and become a business, and because the returns on a media investment are not ever going to be the 20x or 30x you get from a tech startup, the appetite for investors has wained and even well-funded outlets can go under or get sold for next to nothing.

This is exactly what I don't get. You'd think at least one large regional newspaper would have the gumption to try and pivot completely into an app-only, region-wide live version of Twitter or something like that. Currently, small swathes of this are being captured by (terrible) startups like Citizen [1].

Basically, what you're saying is the standard narrative, that free content on the web has destroyed the traditional media model. What I'm saying is the traditional large media houses have totally failed at embracing this model, and converting themselves into efficient producers of it. If they had shown more imagination, maybe we'd be reading information-packed Live Wires on NYTimesWire interspersed with ads, instead of Tweets interspersed with ads.

Here’s how I view this issue: in ten thousand years there’sa good chance none of us will be relegated and all our accomplishments forgotten. Everything we do is ultimately meaningless on a cosmic, so don’t sweat it, be cool to others, and enjoy the tiny slice of time in this vast universe during which you are alive. Ideally you can help others enjoy their brief moment of life as well.

Everything is ephemeral, the only variable is how long until it fades.

you know it'd be nice if these agencies stopped trying to be cute or original, and would just use some agreed upon standard design.
Strongly disagree. Manufacturing is objectively getting cheaper, faster, and more flexible. There are high tech and high precision processes available at small scale on a wider range of materials for less money than there were 10, 20 or 30 years ago. This trend will continue.

Furthermore, if as you suggest the primary design goal of many products should be that of affordability, then you most certainly have to look deeply at the hardware, as software is not typically a contributor to unit costs (excepting weird licensing regimens).

You could probably layer a software implementation of the rasterization pipeline on top of a compute-focused open-source GPU architecture like Nyuzi [1]. NVIDIA has a paper showing how to do this [2].

I would expect a 2x slowdown over hardware rasterization, based on NVIDIA's work on such an approach, but this is probably fine if you're just trying to match Voodoo3 performance. And one could imagine bolting a minimal hardware rasterizer on top of Nyuzi to speed things up once the software implementation is working.

Of course, all this is going to be a lot of work, and the much quicker approach would just be to run llvmpipe on top of your favorite open-source CPU core.

> people who are not from the area who are caught doing drugs and homeless people and all this kind of stuff what happens is the cops they tell them I don't want to see you in this county anymore and then what they do is they bring them to a road called county line road and then they drop them off there and if they come back they get arrested... so you just don't see homeless people and all that kind of stuff out where I live because I'm being serious that's how the cops are out here

This is pretty well-known in a lot of places. Around major cities, the police will send the persons into the city. Then the suburban people say there must be something wrong with the city, with all these problems. Personally, I'd rather be the community that takes care of the people that need it.

> doing drugs and homeless people

I don't equate the two. Even doing drugs is just a vice and now frequently legalized, and I'm sure the locals do plenty (without needing to know the locality). But to the extent that the drugs are illegal, being homeless certainly is not. There is nothing wrong with it or illegal about it. Some homeless people do bad things, and so do some people of every other group, including HN readers, rural locals, and wealthy people in big houses (and measured by total cost to society, there's no doubt which group does more).
This reminds me of my amazement to learn from the YT teardown movement (AvE, etc) that professional tradesmen often consider a topline Makita or Dewalt cordless tool to be good to go for one job (e.g.,a single commercial high-rise building) and after that, it's time to get (aka, bill for) a new one.
