So did every piece of technology that was widely adopted change behavior.

So what?

So there's a value judgement about whether that change in the behavior of others is a good thing. So "morality" which is where this came in.

You want to make cases about the pill adoption and STD prevalence getting worse, go right ahead. It is different data and a very different case to make. Also far from obvious which way it goes, fwiw.
There's a difference between "cyclists will take more risks (with their own lives) if they wear a helmet" and "drivers will take more risks (with cyclists' lives) if they see cyclists wearing a helmet".

And you're leaving out by far the most important argument, which is "people are less likely to cycle if they're required to wear helmets".
I'll believe it as soon as I hold the first legal buds in my hand. Until then, I'll remain cautiously optimistic.

I think it's still a little fishy that none of the articles mentions anything about the supply chain. Also, nothing about home growing or how DUI will be handled.
>> It said most early symptomatic cases were linked to the market, specifically to the western section where raccoon dogs were caged

Honestly, none of the options here reflect well on China.
Ethics ?
Trust don't verify I guess.
I think the point is that this theory was first proposed in the 20th century, and given the structures were designed and built something like 1000 years earlier, it is at this point speculation, and there is no evidence to support the assertion.

It's useful to dig into beliefs and try and find their basis, and it appears that in this case it's not forthcoming. Of course, this doesn't rule out that in the future some academic finds a 12th century french scroll on how to defend staircases that talks about this!
I don't know why this is being down voted. The entire modern bullshit Internet exists because of NAT. We can't host stuff ourselves and have to use some central system. Since nothing is free, the provider has to inject more and more ads everywhere.
Does that include medical info? I have a friend building a pro-bono Multiple Sclerosis information database who might be interested.
There's a good reason to not allow 3rd party background networking though. It would work in theory, but in practice every company with more than a few devs would eventually implement their own crappy version of a notification system with terrible power management. Given that even well-funded companies like Uber/Facebook have constant engineering quality issues, I definitely wouldn't want to have 20+ separate active notification connections.

This is not even hypothetical, this was literally happening before background services were heavily limited in earlier Android versions.
> It’s hardly sexism, it’s a pervasive fact of societal interest distribution.

I'm not denying the possible 'societal interest distribution', I simply felt it was an irrelevant strawman that's virtually impossible to argue against without instantly being called-out as a sexist "gent", and had no place in what purported to be a historical discussion about stairways.
No that's not how it works. 15 IQ pts is 1 standard deviation. So a 115 is 83rd percentile, 130 is 97.5 percentile, and 145 is 99.85 percentile. 1000 would be 60 standard deviations, so there aren't even enough humans on earth to establish what that is.
- web 1.0 was protocols

- web 2.0 are platforms

- web 3.0 will maybe be protocols agains

The next iteration of web doesn't make away with the previous, it includes it, so thee is no fear of losing deletion but as anyone that can code can imagine: there is a real benefit to immutability, it gives you a foundation you can build on and in this case a decentralized foundation. Stop being fixated on kids swaping cards and try to see the good this tech can do, becuse if not only its bad side will be explored and we will just get platforms with more insidious dark patterns.
Imagine if each site in the ring had well-known assets like a Lunr index and RSS feed, perhaps a convention/catalog of XMPP and email IDs like social@.

Thanks for the description.
Yes, Andreas has an excellent eye for usability so SerenityOS and its included applications have a lot of wonderful quality if life features such as this.

I get quite jealous when I fire up the latest build of Serenity and see how functional the whole platform is in terms of QoL tweaks.
Elixir and Phoneix are more popular than ever, especially with the release of LiveView. The ecosystem and community continues to absorb refugees from Ruby and other stacks.

It's such a better platform than Ruby and Rails that I won't bother writing about it here - there are already hundreds of blog posts about it. Productivity is at least on par with Ruby (I believe better) and performance on another plane of existence.
There was a study that proved helmets were harmfull. It basically said that cycling has health benefits, and if helmets were compulsory less people will cycle. And more people would die from obesity and relevant healtu issues, than were saved by helmets.

My current gasoline car has a 500km range. If I can get 400km range on an electric car then I will just pick the car with the cheapest "fuel" costs and that's not going to be hydrogen.
> Banks still run old IBM mainframes and you would need to think about it when migrating to IPv6.

Mainframes are a _lot_ more maintained than you think they are, but overall this is a bit of a weird statement as Mainframes talk TCP/IP for compatability reasons anyway, Mainframes talk amongst themselves using a protocol called SNA/APPN. (Which, can be encapsulated in arbitrary IP frames, but is not required and doesn't require support of the mainframe)
My anecdotal observations are closer to; successful people aren't critical thinkers enough to argue themselves out of ideas and they just do stuff naively and customers can only buy products that exist, not hypothetical better products.
I absolutely think a CC upfront opens many doors to potential abuse and hidden recurring charges , obscure opt out etc.

Could use alternative methods to prevent spam, like sms etc.

Requiring a credit card is asking for too much trust from the user.

The Container Bootloader
Chet Baker came quite often in Liège in Belgium.

His friend the sax player Jacques Pelzer was pharmacist, both were consuming a lot of the shop substances... Pelzer even lost his license.

One night in the Atahualpa restaurant, Pelzer was playing there. And Chet Baker showed up to jam. He was so high that night that the owner(the father of my then girlfriend) did throw him out, without knowing who he was.

A pity for the guests, as he was probably able to play that great sound that night.

Time to fire a Chet playlist !
This works both ways.

When the next billionaire tells us what we as a society should be doing remember that.
I think a good example is odysee as alternative to youtube. It is powered by a blockchain it uses some tokens but the user only ever sees the good parts.
Ooh, we SO need something like this for the UK.

> if anything I'd argue that NOT tying yourself to a single framework is what makes you grow into a senior developer

I disagree. A lot of this discussion is about semantics - what do we mean when we say senior developer? for FAANG they don't really care what languages you know - in fact they don't really seem to care how well you can code, it's all about your ability to solve algorithms under pressure. Is that a senior dev? Guess for them it is.

But for smaller startups - where your ability to code well and onboard fast is critical to the team, when they hire a senior they will most often prefer someone familiar with their stack. So to them, a senior (preferably) has deep knowledge in their stack already (or is good enough to get up to speed really quickly).
I'd suggest those who haven't watched at least the closing arguments from both sides (4 hrs of video in total) to watch it first.

There's no point in sounding like legal experts or arguing over semantics for the sake of defending the position you have already taken before spending the time watching the full version of both sides arguments.

By globals, I mean global resources outside of the codes namespace. It may not even be a resource in the process, such as a log file or temporary directory or a database. If you have two versions of a crate in their completely separate worlds, and call both of their init_logging() functions to log to a file specified by an environment variable, things are likely to go pear shaped when they stomp over each others log file.

I'm a Rust novice, but the example I tripped over in Go was https://github.com/golang/glog. It has a module level init() initialization routine that makes calls to the stdlib flags package, manipulating the default command line flags (a global resource). If you ended up with multiple versions of glog via transient dependencies, your program would panic on startup as the second version's init() would make calls only allowed to be called once. Rust thankfully avoids this particular one by requiring initialization to be called by main() (apart from the hack described in the article).
For what it's worth, I understood at first sight "Mauvaisement, le <honorific title> Bertram a dit" which happend to be the intended meaning.

I actually had more trouble with "Bacin" starting with a capital B which would indicate a proper name. That's the only line I wasn't sure of.

I was surprised by the fact I could understand that while I know I can hardly understand anything from the 16/17th century old french. Thanks for your input for clarifying that.
There is some merit to having more IPv4 space e.g. for new players trying to start a business or for IPv6 transition technologies, where you need at least some IPv4 space e.g. for the NAT64 gateway. This should be considered in the application process for the space, if the unicast extension will be widely supported technically.

The real question here is, whether Microsoft will patch Windows to support the unicast extension. More specifically, which versions and whether it will include Windows XP/ Windows Server 2003/ 7/ Windows Server 2008 and various Windows CE versions. I would say, there are so many WinXP/WS2003 machines in industrial networks still, that not having a patch enabling support might be a major blocker. In some cases, you just cannot replace the operating system without also replacing the machine it is driving.

Yes, more or cheaper IPv4 space will prolong the pain of having two protocols one of which is the default but has inherent problems in terms of scalability (IPv4).

There might also be some damage from changing 0/8 and 127/8 to be global unicast and carving out 0.0.0.0/32 and 127.0/16 for their current usage. Also the lower address as alternative broadcast to unicast switchover could be "fun" in some networks. The reality is, ransomware and other attacks are quite common and creating new doors into legacy networks with less than ideal maintenance through changing rules should be evaluated. I don't think the typical water treatment plant, hospital, pharmacy or an aluminum smelter follow even major RFCs closely.

I know, I have discovered (and fixed) the 1/8 blackhole problem in a subsidiary at my previous job. I would need to really check 0/8 and 127/8 there to verify they are ready for the unicast extension as well. That company had an IT department and the IT worked reasonably well there but there were some very specific constraints such as Windows NT driving some industrial machines. This wasn't the common case, but it wasn't the only "special" host on the network. In such places, such changes perhaps don't need to be implemented, but you never know, when the inconsistency will bite you.
Stupendously massive production capacity of H2 will be needed for every plausible climate disaster mitigation scenario. If you want to synthesize CH4 or other hydrocarbons from captured CO2, or to synthesize NH3 for fertilizer, or for fuel, or for storage, you need H2 first.

To fuel aircraft efficiently, you want a great deal of LH2. Anywhere LH2 aircraft fly, kerosene-fueled aircraft will be simply unable to compete. That will start on major international routes, with airports synthesizing LH2 on demand from grid power, banking it when spot price is lowest. The only thing that will save carriers loaded up with kerosene craft is the limit on how fast the LH2 aircraft can be manufactured.

Carbon-neutral steel production will depend on really huge amounts of H2, in place of coal or natural gas. Existing fertilizer production lines can inject H2 with the natural gas, and increase its fraction as more becomes available. At some point, as the carbon fraction decreases, electric heating will become more economical than burning injected gas for heat. Ultimately, improving catalysts will make the whole process more efficient than ever.

NH3 made with green hydrogen is a likely fuel for retrofitted long-distance shipping, where ships need only new fuel tanks and plumbing to switch over. Probably legislation will be needed to drive this change fast enough.

Cars with high-pressure H2 tanks are beginning to be practical, and are much lighter and cheaper to make than lithium-battery cars. When the car is lighter, the motor and drive train can be lighter too, and it takes less energy to accelerate them. In the short term, though, batteries are clearly winning. It is hard to be sure which will win, long term, but batteries have a huge first-mover advantage.

You can burn H2 directly in a natural-gas plant, or mixed into natural gas. So, as H2 production capacity grows, an increasing fraction of gas input to these systems will be H2. Ultimately, fuel cells driven from pure H2 will start to take over as prices of improved catalysts fall.

For utility-scale storage, bulk underground H2 is a much simpler and more reliable proposition than millions of battery cells, even though round-trip efficiency is poor. As top-line generating cost plummets, efficiency matters less. All the hottest storage systems (iron-air, hydrogen) are low roundtrip-efficiency.
New Tool Can Detect a Precursor of Engine-Destroying Combustion Instability
They work following a standard deviation so 99% of the population have an IQ lower than 135, 99.6% lower than 140, etc. So maybe, among the billions of people who ever lived on the planet or will live in the future, someone will have an IQ of 200.

Anyway, IQ is just a tiny aspect of intelligence, which is a loosely defined term.
While transfers have been "solved" in the cryptocurrency world (see Bitcoin et al), and likewise "computation" has been "solved" (see Ethereum et al), file storage is still not solved and seems to be a bit harder as it's taking time for the various solutions to mature enough to be useful for day to day usage.
Sarcasm is exactly what I wanted to show. You do not like the price as if there was a wide choice of options. In reality, this is the price of a change. Otherwise it's is akin to free, because the company would have to pay the difference for you.
I haven’t touched the ecosystem really for a number of years but my last JS project was in TS and I hated it for the same reason. The overhead of bringing in yet more npm modules and types and build steps for questionable levels type safety. Languages with much better type systems exist.
386, 486 embedded chips were widely produced as SOCs but they’re embedded in places you probably wouldn’t look for them. Which is why they’re SOCs. :) 586 and semi 686 compatibles are still available in certain quantities.

Today, a Pi0W could emulate anything up to a low end 486, Pi0-2W/CM3 could do about 486DX-100/low end Pentium.

The current situation means I can't even use my own push notifications for company owned devices running company written software. That's just ridiculous.
Didn't think I would see a comment like this on Hacker News. Learning and experimenting is fun! When you are learning and having fun, there is no such thing as "wasting time".

Some would consider learning a old, outdated programming language a waste of time, but sometimes learning something new just to learn something new is just... Fun!
I’ve never understood why people find the force of chance so difficult to accept.

I am lucky I am a white man born in the UK in 1969. So much of what I am is due just to that fact, irrespective of whether I am smart or not, hard working or not.
+1. But while we're on the subject, it would be interesting to do a study on whether inflation can be exacerbated by clickbait. It's sure a cheap way to undermine currency (or increase "consumer confidence"...depending on your ox).
Because "economics" says don't waste resources on a potential chip shortage.

It's like skipping out on health insurance.
How is a "world-lead" company recording AIS transmissions from all ships everywhere not world police, open source or not? And if you do it against the will of the country where the ships are located, it's basically espionage.
It's a human idea and a human invention, developed in a certain historical context. Calling it "made up" is pejorative, for sure, but not at all wrong.

It isn't like the Hubble Deep Field has a pattern that spells out "all human beings are born free and equal" or something.
Because I hate that kind of work so I wouldn’t do it unless they make it worth my while.
Skew the odds then
I’m going to watch wizard city this weekend with my four year old, during the pandemic we watched the whole series together. It’s amazing that we can both love the same show, and it’s given him a freaky sense of humor.
The article explicitly states that it is not going to present the evidence against the myth; it isn't trying to demonstrate that the myth is false, it's leaving that for elsewhere.
You nailed it. I work with Ruby, TypeScript (React, Node) and Elixir.

While Elixir has more than enough uses and I love it dearly, nothing comes close to the productivity and expressiveness of Ruby (+ Rails).

I have very high hopes for JS/TS. Using a single isomorphic language for web development must have some benefits, but I'm afraid it's not there yet.
It really saddens me that so many people are getting let down by their jobs like this. It must take a huge amount of provocation to make reasonable people quit on the spot. Many of these people presumably depend on their salary to survive, and they're still pushed to breaking point.

The examples included in the article are just egregious: forcing someone to come to work who has just lost their parent in a car accident, threatening a worker with firing for sitting on the job.

I'd like to think there's a move towards management respecting and appreciating their staff more, but I fear that's only happening in tech (and even then it's still very dependent on the management team).
> Yeah so obviously...

Why would you say that's obvious? You don't offer any evidence, either. I would say that if you're going to propose that something has been done for a particular reason, you should back that up. It seems like this is a just-so story: people say they're clockwise for defenders because people say they're clockwise for defenders. It's one of those cool "a-ha"-type ideas that sounds plausible, so people assume it's been studied and researched and then repeat it.

They could be clockwise simply because right-handed people tend to think that clockwise is the "right" direction. It could be done for architectural reasons specific to the particular castle (e.g. the stairs wouldn't face or line up properly if it were anti-clockwise). There are many, simpler reasons why 70% of the castles we see today have clockwise staircases. And if the defender theory is true, why do the other 30% have anti-clockwise staircases?
To continue that last thought, less cycling means more deaths via lost health benefits, more deaths via more car journeys and more deaths due to pollution.

The remaining cyclists being run over by the increased motor traffic is a vicious cycle it's hard to break out of.
Crypto Heavyweight Moshe Hogeg Reportedly Arrested in Israel
I just came across CoinSutra in which the article I read about Lido seemed very level headed and refreshing.

Otherwise I generally read CoinTelegraph but it can get very bullish at times.

I've found it helpful to write the letter to the senior researcher.
Be prepared to make 4-8 drafts of the letter. The first draft is to just dump your thoughts, typically at this point mine are unorganized and incomplete.

That gets fixed in the drafts/revisions. The key point is to express my problem/question in the framework which I think the senior researcher uses.

And I usually find (? 3 times out of 4?) that by the time I complete this process, I have found the answer to my question.

If not, I'll send the email. If they see you've put effort into thinking about it, they almost always respond positively.
I agree that YC business is prospecting, but I don't believe they prospect ideas, they prospect people.

Ideas are a dime a dozen, and the same idea could be a success or failure depending on execution quality, and execution quality depends on people.

Making happen people are actually idea people, each of then have hundreds of ideas in their mind, that just have the guts to make them happen. They go in the arena and fight and most of the time they loose. Over time if they survive they get stronger and wiser and fighting becomes easier for them.

For finding those people that are a minority in the world you need attractors that attract people all around the world.

YC matches young "make it happen people" with money, resources and old people that "made it happen " in the past.

The "idea people" that believe they have a brilliant idea you should pay then 50% for are abundant and completely useless.

Once you become successful every day you will talk with one of those idea people that spend so much time dreaming and no time risking or working on their ideas, because getting in the arena and getting hurt is not enjoyable or beautiful.
Yes, but this is recent, hundred years or so.
Fascinating, but I'm not sure about the assumptions. This model mainly doesn't account for risk in the calculation.

The company owner might only work twice as much as the 9-5 salaryman. But he increases the value of his equity, while the salaryman just draws a monthly salary.

Eventually that equity is valued at millions by investors, and that is how the company owner becomes rich. Or it could be valued at zero.

Meanwhile, the salaryman is not even exposed to any of these extremes because he never took the risk.
Two reasons:

1. Haven’t gotten lucky yet.

2. I dislike other people and don’t connect well with them.

Other than that, I got some pretty good ideas.
I don’t think that’s true at all. I don’t worry about polio, smallpox, etc. because of vaccines. I got vaccinated as soon as possible because vaccines have been proven to work. Absolutely nobody pressured me and I certainly don’t care what other people think.
