There is an observation that men typically like to work with things while women with people all other things being equal. There are speculations that it depends on hormonal balance during pregnancy, but what ever the reason it exists. So by that software development naturally is dominated by men (code is the thing) while professions like veterinary (that pays higher in US than programming) is dominated by women (as most time is spent talking to pets owners).

Note the average here does not translate into an ability to predict performance of a particular person based on biological sex as the variation is too high for that, but statistically the effect is rather significant.

So I suspect if a profession require a lot of social interactions, the observed discrimination is simple reflection that men may perform worse on average in those professions.
Don't put the idea into their heads!!!

Kidding aside, I think customers can argue that such ads can be distracting to the driver.
Wash trading is called social signaling now?

Proof of ownership of a jpeg on a Google drive means that you can proof that you own a deleted pic. Nice, but worthless.
There's no point in paying for essentially any streaming service these days. Piracy legitimately provides a better user experience for free if you know how to do it right
Last night, I was buying some dumb something on some random website, as one does. And they offered cryptocurrency as a checkout option.

"Well, I've got some money in coinbase; why not try it? Its only $10."

It was the best "stateless" checkout experience I have ever had. Sure, Amazon is easier, but I already have an account with them. I'm talking specifically on a totally new website. Select a currency; pops up a QR code with the amount in crypto; punch it in to the coinbase app; scan the QR code; five seconds later its done.

This could even be trivially improved, if that QR code also embedded the amount and the currency type. Just scan and go. Hope we get there.

Of course, its predicated on me already owning crypto. Can't dispute that point.

But not only was this a far better experience than "run to the other end of the house, find my wallet, rip it out, punch in twenty dumb numbers that have faded to near unreadability from being in my wallet, op security code". I'd argue Apple Pay is roughly as convenient as crypto; traditional solutions do exist.

But to think that it was both the easiest checkout experience I've ever had, and (in theory) it doesn't rely on some centralized megacorp gatekeeper taking 5% of the transaction (Visa, Apple, etc), or acting as the centralized merchant every consumer has to interact with (Amazon).

Nothing is perfect! This website was using one of them "centralized gatekeepers" to proxy the transaction. They probably never saw the crypto; they just see USD. I had to overpay a bit in the USD conversion to account for risk spread; speaking of which, the price was still set in USD. The gatekeeper probably took X%. And I use coinbase, which is another one of those centralized gatekeepers.

Yet, I saw a sliver of the promise! It was shining in my eyes with undeniable brightness. This is why crypto exists. Its the Best Path toward allowing independent businesses to digitally transact with their customers, no Visa, no Amazon. Its not finished walking the path it has laid. Maybe it never will. But in our current economic climate, there's no other hope that I can see. Maybe if our government could compete with Visa and lay down a public, digital cash network (crypto or no crypto); but they aren't.

So while it isn't perfect, even in its ideal state (intrinsic implications: environmental, sovereign economic policy, etc); nothing ever is.

Yup. That's me to an extent.

I subscribe to Netflix, HBO, and Disney. If what I want to watch isn't on either of those three, it's getting pirated.
Alfa Romeo Giulietta. They stopped making it in 2000 and it was not sold in US for much longer.

But there are lots of them in perfect state in Europe.
Lada Niva 4x4. Old school soviet, but modernized car. With airconditioning and some modern gimmicks. Very easy to fix and maintain. Good fuel economy, some versions even pass Euro 5 emission limits.

I liked WW2 jeeps and their simplicity, this seems like modern equivalent.
Co-author here, the discussion section of the paper details many of the limitations raised by commenters here in greater depth. People seem to be debunking claims that aren't made in the paper. I'm biased but I don't think Nature Scientific Reports can be accused of publishing clickbait in this case.
The Big Misconception About Electricity
Absolutely. I'm not screaming that's it's unfair or anything. The good things about centralized systems like this is that there are rules and laws. If the ICANN rule says the registry can do that in this case, then fine, I won't fight. But I would like to make sure it's really the case.
Per https://www.usinflationcalculator.com/ a $50 cable bill from 1990 is about $110 now. Depending on where your reference point is, more streaming for less money sounds good, but don't forget Netflix was around with no real competition for a long while, and at $10/month. $50 (for Netflix+Hulu+Paramount+Disney/whatever vs $10 is quite the increase!
Pre-disclosure: upcoming security release of Synapse 1.47.1
Pre-streaming watching episode 9 looked like waiting and hoping the DVDs would come out for this show. They’d cost about $50 for a season.

Pre-DVD you’d just be screwed. Your show would be episodic (much of Star Trek TNG) and you’d hope to catch as much as you can on syndication or reruns.
Surely you mean outside of North America. From my understanding, the cable situation was always even worse in Canada.
You're right that there is an implied threat. I've seen work go offshore because there was a dev team to the east that said yes. They said yes to everything. They said yes even though they didn't understand the problem. Yes yes yes. A year later the project was dropped because all that yes was just another lie. Lots of managerial egg on faces and the customers went elsewhere. That kind of management just wants a lie so that they can apportion blame. They're not actually interested in getting a good bit of kit out the door.
What do you mean by low bandwidth? 56K dialup? 1.5Mbps DSL? 10Mbit?

Streaming only was able to take off because broadband (back then this wouldn't even have been that much, >~2Mbps) was already widespread. So I'd say yes, nobody liked waiting for slow connections.
Why Shipping Shit (Excrement) Is a Good Idea
Media content is typically sold based on the populations’ purchasing power. It is why the same book is sold in Asia for $5 that is $50 in the US.

Since the marginal cost of selling an additional unit is near zero, it makes sense for sellers to heavily price discriminate such that poorer people are charged what they can afford and richer people are charged what they can afford.
Should be noted that that will work too. In fact that is the plan for most facilities. However, you will still need a separate electrolysis facility. With this you just pipe hydrogen into bigger pipes. It could be cheaper to implement it this way.
it's absolutely possible and, unfortunately, not surprised CCP would do that.
My Fit has been absolutely great.

I’ve learned a lot by working on it, but I do have the say that the plastic engine protector is a travesty. Clips were originally broken during a commercial oil change. Ever since, I’ve just been using self tapping screws to reattach it.
I don't think he's talking about going to a carbureted car though. Just something with a simple EFI system, and not a bunch of proprietary, in-car electronics. Definitely like a post above mentioned, the late 90's to 2000's cars have most modern safety features, good reliable fuel injection, but no integrated LTE modems, or crappy infotainment systems that are horribly out of date like newer cars.
I did a search for "streaming search" and got https://reelgood.com/ and https://www.justwatch.com/. Roku also has a search engine called "What's On". https://www.roku.com/whats-on.

Now if only someone would combine all of these search engines...
As the article rightly points out NFTs do not provide proof of ownership of the underlying asset just of the NFT itself. And even that’s only true if you choose to view them as bearer instruments. The law governs ownership of the underlying not the chain. Divergence will always settle in favor of the law.
Not all store bought ketchup is created equal, through trial and error I've found a few better store brands, some of which I've forgotten the name of. Sir Kensingtons > Heinz
Seconded. Happily running it in a Docker container on an old Linux box. Set-up took minutes and it's been working, through occasional upgrades, for something like two years now without a hiccup. I mostly use the Roku and Web clients.

I spent years trying to get Kodi how I wanted it and it just never worked out. Between the jank and the way they've chosen to structure the UI, I don't think I'll ever like Kodi. Jellyfin is a much better fit for me, with no tweaking at all.
> The latter only works if Twitter stops you uploading any old image.

Sure, or if they check the images you upload (YouTube does this on a massive scale). Or if they show a checkmark on verified images. Or if they prevent uploading unverified profile images at all (presumably this is how Valve games work, so that everyone can't just download a copy of the expensive item and use it online).

> But the latter still only works if the general population of Twitter thinks it’s cool.

Yes, of course, but as you explain, that's no different than with video games, especially if the items are purely cosmetic.
I've seen teachers and young students during covid, it wasn't pretty.

I have that feeling that internet is boiling frogs making people think it's that amazing christic thing when a few phone calls and organization would go as deep. Plus kids and teachers are often computer illiterate, a single file format can delay information for days if not weeks because people don't know how to mail or open something.
Most people working from home (or remote schooling, even occasionally) would need more than low bandwidth internet.
For things like this publicity is the only weapon.
That's the wrong level: NFTs are like the receipt showing you paid money, not the artwork itself. Even a forged artwork can be enjoyable to look at, although you'll probably wish you'd paid less, but it's unlikely that anyone is going to want to hang the receipt on the wall.
You could definitely pay less than $50 for cable throughout the 90s, it's HD which I remember pushing prices up. But those would be your basic packages, without addons, and especially without HBO and such.

But now if all you wanted was HBO, you could get it for under 20 bucks if you have anything but the slowest internet packages!
It’s a little more complicated than “an episode”.
For instance, the most popular cable program “Yellowstone” is on the Paramount Network. New episodes are shown there for a few days, but prior episodes are on NBC’s Peacock network. Many other popular shows are that way—new episodes on one platform (Chicago Med on Hulu), prior episodes on another platform (earlier eps in Netflix).

The Star Trek franchise is a grab bag between Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu and Paramount+.
10x Management does this. They have represented me and a few hundred other software/technology professionals for a while now. I have heard about other agents with a similar business model but I can’t name them offhand.

See the 2013 article in The New Yorker that describes the 10X Management model.

https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/11/24/programmers-pr...

Also written up in many other places. The founders frequently show up on Bloomberg News.

Pre-10X I worked with a few skilled recruiters who acted more like agents (working on my behalf) than the majority of recruiters. They’re out there but hard to find; a lot of tech recruiters don’t take the time to understand the jobs or candidates and make a good match, but some do.
Better than the Mafia: Twitter crypto scamming botnet earns half million dollars
Interesting read, one thing to point out, seems that the median wealth is $8 and not the average as stated before. Don't think it makes a difference to your point though.

What's surprising is that when looking at the sample breakdown, even thought the # of observations and median age was approximately the same for White and U.S. Black, the U.S Black sample group where significantly less likely to be married (and thus not able to account for any spouse's income/wealth in the calculations for household net worth).

> Although members
of communities of color are less likely to own homes, among homeowners they are more
likely to have mortgage debt. Also, data on student loans and medical debt for whites and
racial/ethnic minorities suggest that whites are often less likely to have these forms of debt.

This looks like the most critical reason for such a disparity.
The problem here is there's no strong incentive for the support to get better. A dedicated service management company is competing to provide the best value for service, whereas the colo people are already making money off the building, so poor service isn't going to break them. Generally speaking, people go with colo support to simplify billing and whatnot, or have hands on gear in a matter of minutes (rather than paying your own dude to sit in your cage, if you have a cage).

> It's a dying breed though, complicated "driver assist" systems are becoming standard or even mandated :(.

It saves lives, even if the systems are not 100% effective.
I'm training new developers and they often have to lean the terminal as well. Having some training wheels in there would be awesome. I can see a future where team development environments are highly customized and easy to spin up and onboard new people. Custom apps will be more friendly with this overlay UI.
There's going to come a time in the near future where analogish features are going to be seen as luxury components.
>>feels more like a chore than joy, something like gym.

If going to the gym feels more like a chore than a joy, then you may be doing it wrong, or inconsistently (some good coaching may help).
Shows on VHS existed. I watched all of Twin Peaks Season 2 that way before it released on DVD.

Ask HN: What are your 2022 predictions?
Just curious what kind of predictions you have for the upcoming years 2022, 2023, 2024.

I think the obvious one would be the EV wars. Also the delayed shipping dates for those vehicles. IE: If you order an EV truck now you wont get it until 2024.

Hopefully staying remote and rent not going up, but one can only hope...

If it's correctly microdosed the acutely noticed affects should be very close to placebo.

For lsd this is generally under 15~20ug, though 5ug/10ug is generally what people dose at.

These dosages aren't well established with "proper studies" but I can say that people documenting there experiences seem to establish this pretty well. The psychonauts wiki is a good place for this type of information
It's likely Rule 34 in this context has been reimagined as, "Someone cares just as much about $thing as you to [...]"

Other than that, yes, the original R34 version applies somewhere in the abyss.
How many of them have been immunized via prior infection?

It sounds like you're asking why parsimony is desirable in science. From https://aeon.co/essays/are-scientific-theories-really-better...:

> The upshot is that there are three parsimony paradigms that explain how the simplicity of a theory can be relevant to saying what the world is like:

> Paradigm 1: sometimes simpler theories have higher probabilities.

> Paradigm 2: sometimes simpler theories are better supported by the observations.

> Paradigm 3: sometimes the simplicity of a model is relevant to estimating its predictive accuracy.

> These three paradigms have something important in common. Whether a given problem fits into any of them depends on empirical assumptions about the problem. Those assumptions might be true of some problems, but false of others. Although parsimony is demonstrably relevant to forming judgments about what the world is like, there is in the end no unconditional and presuppositionless justification for Ockham’s Razor.
You could bribe someone to do something in the public interest too... I'm betting it would still be 'illegal'. It's a distiction without much of a difference.

Fuck no. I would not allocate half a year’s salary on a gamble.

Indeed since this article was written, Axie tokens tanked.
I've seen several anecdotes from stay at home parents who microdose psilocybin and say it helps them better connect and play with their children sincerely. I think it's plausible it could facilitate the development of deeper emotional bonds and empathy in some cases. Certainly worthy of study with some reasonable controls.
For a long time I've seen a "double standard" in how people thought about the old AI and how they think about the new AI.

People looked at systems like Eliza and it was obvious pretty quickly that they lacked the structure to solve the language understanding problem and also that they relied on people's meaning-making ability to seem like they are conversing with them.

It drives me nuts that people insist that the emperor wears clothes with things like GPT-3; that GPT-3 is kept under wraps not because it is so powerful as to create ethical problems, but rather to prevent people from seeing how clueless it really is. (e.g. something that can write text that is superficially like what an expert writes is in no way a model of or substitute for the expert.)

It makes me so glad to see somebody looking at this soberly for once.
Indeed, why should the government comment on the disappearance of a public figure just after they stated that they were sexually assaulted by a major figure in that government?

What possible reason could there be?
How can you do that? If you copy the chain you still don't own the NFTs since you don't control the private keys of the owners.

Ask the dealer if Internet connection is an option, if so, can it be added later, can it be turned on remotely? In many cars today, the answer to all three is yes.
It's a little thing, but given the choice of watching something on a streaming app versus watching the same show on the cable DVR and having to fast-forward through the commercials, even with smart-resume, it's kind of a no-brainer.
I sometimes pirate things that are on services I'm paying for just because I don't want to have to remember which one has the thing I want to watch, every time I go to watch it, or switch between apps if watching multiple shows, or whatever.
Welcome to Vim (oldie but goodie)
The funny thing about Ableton Live, and I say this as someone who genuinely loves the program, is that it completely sucks. The UI hasn't had any meaningful changes in decades and lacks visual contrast at a glance, it's plugin support is among the worst in the industry and a single plugin crash will bring down the entire program. It's barely extensible, the keybinds are esoteric and confusing, it's automation options are lackluster, it completely lacks a usable ASIO driver for Windows and on MacOS it feels more out-of-place than a Windows 98 app.

Despite that, it's still unmatched. The workflow that Ableton enables blurs the line between jamming and arrangement, so much so that you can frequently write entire songs without realizing it. The constraints and conceits that it makes seemingly funnel your creativity onto your art, not the program, and when you're familiar with it's capabilities it can feel like invoking black magic. When it comes to performing live, the gap becomes even wider. I legitimately cannot think of an application or suite of applications that can do what Live does with such insane efficiency and simplicity. I dare say that modern electronic music performances would not exist without Ableton. It's simply that powerful, ubiquitous and loved.
As someone on the Zstd team, I'm always happy to see it on HN! I'm curious though what motivates the submission?
As a Chinese I expect this: Peng Shuai is safe; Zhang is probably in investigation; investigation probably will last some time; Zhang is most likely over, if investigation finds evidence for anything else, he most likely will go to jail.
Sure, but even the $20/$30 minimum cable packages in the US were more than Netflix is today, without even including inflation.

What was the situation outside of the US if you wanted to watch The Sopranos or Sex and the City or something else on HBO back then? My assumption is that this wasn't all free and over the air?
I disagree. I want to support the content I like. So I type it into my browser, find the content owner, see if they have a quick and easy way to buy it directly from them, and then watch it.

If that takes more than a few seconds, I open up TV app on my phone, search it, and decide if it is worth buying.

If it is any more difficult than that, I spend my time doing something else. The situation is much better than the old days of relying on Comcast.
I would honestly pay 5k for a one-time rust prevention fix if it were a long term solution. I have a wonderful Toyota 4Runner in great condition - except for the terrible rust. It will definitely die a rusty death.
2 Days ago management of .io registry was transfered from Afilias to Donuts (Due to an acquisition). It is likely that during that window you registered the domain and they are now cleaning up the issue. It may be your registrar took your registration and then when they went to actually process it the registry was down, so someone else got it during that period. It could be other things, however, the bottom line is that the domain was probably never yours and there is really not much to do here. It's bad timing and bad handling of a process on your registrars end.
Except Netflix never had the streaming content that you can get today for $50--both because of its own original content and because a lot of content (especially films) was never available on Netflix streaming.

I agree with the parent. Without live TV, a streaming bundle you assemble is clearly cheaper than you were paying for cable TV (or cable TV plus Netflix) in the US. Today, add a live TV streaming service and you're probably back to about price parity with a lot more choice of content.
I agree there are tons of low value projects/grifters out there.

Happy to have a good faith discussion with you, but doesn't seem like that's your intention given that response.
I believe I can take a BAYC, mint my own NFT of it, upload it and still get the check mark haha.
