Don't forget that the HN crowd is not your average consumer. Most people don't care, or don't seem to have issues with the ads. They just want the best TV they can afford in terms of size and picture quality.

With companies this big, who have been in the consumer electronics market for decades, you can be sure that every decision (like putting ads in a menu) is tested over and over. Obviously Samsung knows that they will loose a tiny percentage of the enthusiast market by placing ads. But the margin on the sale of a TV is pretty slim anyways, and multiple years of ad income for every sold unit is probably worth losing a small fraction of your audience.
They're talking about the most renowned execs at Sony Music Entertainment obviously..

The Remote Era Through Automated Documentation
My former CTO was a work machine, capable of digesting an insane amounts of highly skilled tasks over crazy long hours. Absolutely incredible. A rare kind, very inspiring and also surprisingly balanced in his life.

But he was also a terrible manager, as he was thinking/expecting the rest of the world to be as performant as he was.
GU10's are commonly used in LED retrofits. There are also those recessed ceiling light modules you can buy. They're similar in size to your GU10 bracket but much bulkier, and the whole thing needs to be replaced when the light goes out. On the other hand, I hear they are much more reliable (due to better heat dissipation, presumably).

Physicists having been maintained on a payroll will be the only material outcome of ITER, in the end, along with a likelihood of hundreds of tons of radioactive slag to dispose of. (If canceled before they light it up, it could be productively scrapped at a fractional penny on the dollar. Once it's hot, it becomes an indefinitely expensive liability.)

There are few other places just now to train up plasma fluid physicists. The main beneficiaries, though, are the contractors. This is a gravy train that just doesn't quit. The reasons so much money easily goes to it have far more to do with corporate welfare for otherwise mainly-military contractors, and maintaining a population of hot-neutron physicists ready to draw on for weapons work, than any conceivable expectation of competitive power generation.

But the main product of the Tokamak-adjacent projects is lies. They cultivate the confusion between "Q>1" meaning more kinetic energy of neutrons emitted than microwave photons injected and magnets energized, vs "Q>1" meaning electrical power to the grid exceeding grid power injected. There are at least two orders of magnitude between the two Qs. Achieving the former leaves you very, very far from the latter. ITER itself makes no pretense of ever producing so much as one watt-hour of grid power.

Thus, any system resembling ITER (particularly ITER itself) is a technological dead end. A fusion power plant that relies on hot neutrons would necessarily cost many, many times as much to build and operate as a comparable fission plant. Big fission is already not competitive (perhaps mainly from deeply entrenched official corruption, but so what?) and gets less so every day. We have yet to see whether small-scale fission can work, economically. It has failed before.

The Helion and TAE systems would be "aneutronic", generating power electromagnetically, without a side trip through neutrons, heat, and a turbine. They have a chance to be useful, because they would be cheap to operate, even at a small enough scale to leave little scope for official corruption. TAE is taking the harder road, chasing hydrogen/boron fusion, which reactants are both extremely abundant. Helion is chasing hydrogen-2/helium-3, which is more plausibly achievable, but helium-3 is very scarce, so they would need to synthesize it themselves by also fusing hydrogen-2.

The Princeton FRC reactor project, not mentioned in TFA, is working on a shoestring NASA budget, hoping to loft a 2 MW space-probe propulsion test in 2035. That might work, and they would not need much helium-3 for that. They could probably get something done much earlier if ITER were not pissing away all the money, but moving money from public to private purses (as with NASA's SLS and DoD's F-35) is ITER's true purpose.
I agree.

For the same reason I get annoyed when I hear the praises of work/life balance. Balance to what? Leisure? Where does leisure lead? If my work can give me joy why should I strive to minimize its presence in my life (or even balance). Are there things in my work that aren't "pleasant"? Naturally - but it's part of the joy. Only through working through those unpleasant experiences do I value the end-result of my work seriously.

Granted - there are work situations that do not deliver joy. The question is why, and why is nothing done about it.

Anyways. I am of to spend my lunchbreak doing interval training in minus 2C until I am surely about to throw up on the track. Why? Because it'll feel amazing afterwards and I have that sense of achievement locking in for today. Makes me sleep like a baby.
I don't see why. Can you elaborate? Black Mirror explicitly explores paths of technology gone wrong? I might be missing the concern here.

For the record; I think its cool. I do like my LG ( but it is not connected to anything ). This is the first time ever I am actually tempted.
I did know this, but it wasn't 100% reliable, see https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/18150

Regarding the "runs just fine", this is not guaranteed. I certainly do check if it is working, and if it is, and it is a small service or just a containerized tool, then I'll use it. Like using GDAL to perform some reprojections and renderings where a throwaway container is called from a shell script, if it works once, I'll keep using it, but I won't use it to run a Python server which also makes use of Matplotlib and other big dependencies.
Why does "the media" care at all about anti-work? Wouldn't not working be GOOD for media companies, with more time to consume media?

I really don't follow what you said there
Yeah, I was like "what does Cisco care about scripting on Apple devices?" ... "ooooh, they meant IOS; not iOS"
You don't necessarily get better at <thing> by just routinely doing the <thing>. If you drive mostly the same route every day for ten years, you'll hardly become any better driver. If you keep adding similar boilerplate bulk code by routine in your work, you'll hardly become any better programmer. You don't become more socially skilled through social interaction if you just do the routine things to get by.

To learn things well, you need feedback loops. To learn from your social interactions you need to

a) get the feedback. Not smelling bad is a basic social skill. Yet many people smell bad because nobody tells them that they smell bad. What are the ways you could get more feedback? Is there somebody you could ask to tell you what to do better?

b) interpret the feedback and care about the feedback. Some people are better than others in interpreting subtle social cues (nuances of words and expressions, etc); they will naturally get better in social skills faster. Some people are more open to feedback and willing to improve than others (e.g. Not going "she doesn't like the way I smell, huh? Oh well, I'll forget about it"). Fortunately, these meta-skills can be improved; just accepting that they are important is a good first step.

Youtube videos (Charisma on Command is good), books and other resources (e.g. https://www.succeedsocially.com/) can help.
I worked in research in human computer interactions, this is a very poor UI even in a research setting. The technology is impressive though.
> hackers stole data from a US casino via an internet-connected fish tank

Not sure if I would locate the problem in a default password here. Some devices feature unique passwords, but that comes at the price that if this password is lost, the device might become defective and only the manufacturer might be able to help.

If you have an internet connected fish tank, you need internal IT. There is no way around that. The fish will need updates at some point I guess.

I think digital literacy should tell people about the dangers of default passwords. I am guilty of not changing those as well because of pure laziness. So maybe this might help.

My review on some crazy motorized shoes to walk in VR by walking in real life
I say “you are only as good as your last restore”, a phrase I stole from the Theatre industry where your performance “is only as good as your last rehearsal”. Of course this is most useful in Disaster Recovery scenarios. Rehearsal? Restore? Oh we’ve never tested it.
I strongly dissagree, except maybe in the case you believe in reincarnation or that your life has no meaning anymore. If the student is wearing a beret and holding a AK4 the best thing to do is giving him the book.
In a clean slate design, I would have all power 5 volts unless negotiated higher.

And it could be negotiated up to 100,000 volts for charging cars with a thin cool cable. 100,000 volts is perfectly safe as long as system capacitance is kept tiny, and leakage current constantly measured. In fact, the voltage of the sparks when you take off a fleece jumper are more than that.
Yes, and to a great extent the industrial revolution kicked off because coal was available in greater quantities than forestry charcoal! Its production is also somewhat labour-intensive.

Early coal was referred to as "sea-coal" in many places because the easiest way to get it was from veins close to the sea where it washed up. Deep mining of coal required the industrial revolution. There was a huge circular dependency between iron production, steam engines made from iron, and using the steam engines to pump out the iron and coal mines and draw up the mined resources.
I'll also be thankful for the book's name
> Neither of these guys were "slackers" and were brilliant men so it's probably a bit scary for the media that the antiwork movement is gaining steam and no, it's not just a bunch of freeloading millennials.

I don't know, my impression of antiwork is only through seeing some posts from the subreddit on the reddit front page. It comes across as "anti-my-job-specifically" or "I have problems at work so nobody should work" or "inequality exists so I shouldn't work". I really don't get the point of the whole thing. It's understandable that people will take the opportunity to complain about stuff but the overwhelming majority of those people aren't Bertrand Russell, not even close. It's a group of people who have found an audience to complain to - they have real problems but they're coming to all sorts of stupid conclusions fueled by groupthink.

> They have plenty of inefficiency built in due to legacy baggages like less productive older workers or unions.

"Less productive older workers" deserve jobs, too. And unions are no "legacy baggage", but vital tools to ensure decent workplace conditions and wages (see e.g. Amazon and pee bottles).

> In America you can still find mom and pop shops even though 90+% decimated by the big boxes like Walmart or Amazon.

Ask people in rural areas what they miss most and the answer will almost universally be shopping opportunities, as it is extremely hard to compete against Walmart and shopping malls.

Over a quarter century of bicycle commuting I've had 7 bikes stolen, and it cost me about $20k less than if I had been relying on public transport, the next cheapest option.
Really like my 2020 LG TV. (First TV I have ever bought - I'm 58 and every other TV was either a gift, the 14" Sanyo from my parents-in-law in 1989, or hand-me-down)

The one thing I'd like fixed is when I watch an in-progress scheduled recording, say 15 minutes behind real-time, the TV jumps in to live TV mode rather than continue to play the recording. I have to manually go and select the recording and then jog forward to the point I was watching. Seems a strange default, certainly different to Kodi. I've been meaning to write a bug report but it would be interesting if this project has a fix.
Only 4, not 5.
Because each instance requires boot volume of minimal 50GB size.
And free tier gives you 200GB of volume.
I've tried to setup fifth instance but received obscure errors, till I realized that there is not enough space for boot volume.
Also there is no possibility to create smaller boot volume or decrease size of already existing volume.
Have I miss-looked something?
The pictures for plugs from Brazil are not accurate. The majority of the 10A, 4mm plugs have sleeved outer contacts, just like the IEC standard pictured from South Africa. In conjunction with the recessed outlet, it makes it impossible to touch a live contact.
> how do we fix what we have today? How do you fix the concrete jungles that most cities are today in the US.

Elbow grease. Break the concrete and plant shit, pay people to maintain these things every once in a while. I mean most amenity planting is low maintenance and only needs looking after once or twice a year to avoid it growing wild.

The US has the solutions already - a lot of money, and a lot of people looking for a steady job. All it takes is for people to stop hoarding said money and Decide to solve the issue.

Loving how neuro-neutral this response is. Objectively pointing out the information-theoretic reasons learning one is more straightforward than the other!!
Perhaps in a culture that isn't drowning in discord, irony, and falsehood OP would find reading social interactions easier and be less lost in internal spirals of "why can't I decode and replicate all these layers of bs?"

Then again i'm probably just on the spectrum ;P
The government also spends the money on things like hospitals which raises the value of the land so you end up paying twice. Pay taxes and then pay increased rent to get access to the things your tax money was spent on. It's highly inefficient.
They have, like, an incidence every two days? That's utterly disturbing, does anyone actually pay them?
> But 18 years of human interaction and I'm still missing out on social skills apparently.

Also consider who told you this.

I'm well liked but I have had my doubts because some people constantly make a big fuzz of nothing. When I look back at it after 7 years I realize I was significantly more well behaved than the person picking on me.

Furthermore, something I made note of from minor celebrity around here. He said something like: once I earned my first million people started taking me seriously. Maybe the same is true for social skills?

This would also rhyme with the old Jewish/Yiddish(I think?) saying that "With money in your pocket, you are wise and you are handsome and you sing well too."

Finally: make note of who your friends are now, who helps you or at least is a reliable friend.

I can try to help out with my haphazard guide to social skills that I’ve picked up from my experiences. This is tailored to the biases most nerds have towards social interactions.

1. Stop trying to make sense of everything people do in social situations using logic. There is a deeper logic to most things people do however you are much better off imitating what others do at first. And then observing and taking feedback. Social situations unfold too quickly to use logic and thought. Practice the rest consciously till they become habit. Start with a few at a time.

2. Pay attention to how you dress, how you speak. Observe other popular people around you and try to imitate their mannerisms and sense of style.

3. Break the above rule sometimes so you stand out and people remember you for something. Steve Jobs understood this very well. Cultivate a sense of style and keep putting it out.

4. Whenever you are interacting with another person stop thinking about yourself too much. You should be absorbing everything you can about the other person. Their goals, their hopes, their dreams, their fears. Obviously you do it step by step and don’t escalate to these directly.

5. Invite people you want to get closer to for meals, dinners or just to hang out. Find common interests and hobbies to establish rapport. Have a social calendar going to regularly have interactions with the key people in your life.

6. Understand how status and power run most of our world. Understand the pressures that managers and people in power face so you can anticipate what they will do. You will survive even if you are not very effective if you don’t create headaches for those in charge

7. Learn to stand your ground without being confrontational and cleverly diffusing conflict using poise and language.

8. Stay calm and collected. Never be too desperate.

9. Visibility is the name of the game. Nobody can care about you if they don’t know you exist.

10. Never underestimate the power of an emotional appeal.

11. Never under estimate peoples deep felt need to feel validated by and connected to other people. The more genuine it feels the better.

12. Try not to be too in your face or public about your ambitions. Try to avoid open competition or making enemies wherever possible.

13. Everything in the world is one irrational monkey deciding to enter into an exchange with another irrational monkey.

14. The irrationality comes from the lower brain. It’s well understood that people have very poor defenses against this generally. Putting a pretty woman on a bill board is dumb but it works. I know that Axe Body spray will not result in women swarming all over me but it’s the only mens spray brand that I can even remember. The lower brain cares about tasty food, beautiful scenery, safety and warmth, status and validation, sex, power etc.

15. Meditate to get your lower brain under control. Understand how others lower brains can lead them astray and short circuit most rational calculations. Politicians understand this very well.
The app I used worked nothing like the slick demo in the video. In fact, the UX and UI are some of the worst I have used in recent memory.

No matter what some backend folks believe, there will always need to be highly skilled front end engineers who can put together web apps in a way where the interface just 'gets out of the way' so you can focus on the actual utility.

Because you can't drive a car on public roads without mandatory training and passing an exam - so the assumption is that you know and understand the standing speed limits and obey them, but you ride a bike/ebike anywhere without any training or licences so the barrier to entry is lower .

Same way how(at least over here) anyone can ride a 50cc motorbike without any training whatsoever, but to ride something more powerful you need a proper motorcycle licence. I'd be happy with some sort of process where you can only ride a 250W ebike with no self-drive without a licence, but more powerful motors are available after passing a licence and with mandatory insurance.

Nah I don't think so, because demand for paper has shifted to things like cardboard. And of course, global population has gone up by a lot.

Wood hasn't been a popular choice for a long time, things like coal, peat, oil, petroleum and gas have been more prevalent for the hundreds of years before the current systems of gas or electric heating. Wood is more of a last resort, or something more idyllic.
The same applies with bikes, just that it's not legally required to advertise so most manufacturers don't really care. Schwalbe is the only company that I know of which actually tests and advertises compatible speeds on their e-bike tyres.
