It’s not really useful for checking while riding though, it’s more along the lines of a data logger. Might be a bit different with a mount for the phone, but I avoid having visible elevtronics while riding.

> They tend to tread lightly on YT itself because of the reverse of the prisoner's dilemma.

Why so? Are these other platforms unable to payout as much as YT? Seems natural that ad revshare would not be the same on a site that nobody has heard of compared to the numbers available from YT. Doesn't seem too enticing for creators to go to other platforms where there is less revenue potential.

I'm just not seeing the prisoner's dilemma here. I just see people placating a noisy herd by offering content on other sites while still firmly attached to the teet of YT.
Interesting, their site claims they're photochromic (like "transitions") lenses, they should adjust to the brightness around them. Have you tried them in a darker environment?
all the nutrition info is on the labels yet people knowingly overeat. different type of problem.
The point they are making is that the belief that one must be "gifted" to learn math is a damaging and destructive belief: it leads students who could otherwise be successful to not try and not learn, and this affects most to students who are marginalized in other ways.

The rejection of "ideas of natural gifts" is rejecting that success in math is tied to natural gifts (as opposed to say hard work or careful study.)

It is not rejecting the idea that some students will have an easier or harder time learning!

> The answer in reverse, is that government does not have greater rights than individuals. It does not determine morality.

Morality is a rough one. Most people who study ethics and metaethics do follow moral realist positions, but positions under that umbrella are manifold. When you look outside of moral realist positions, there are even more positions.

So, the government doesn't govern morality, but even the people who study it can't form consensus.

> Governments can of course write laws to justify whatever they like, but these laws themselves need to align with morality to be 'right'.

Your problem isn't with rights or governmental egregores, it's with an inability to reconcile a morality with the turtles-all-the-way-down-esque social relations that summon said egregores.

Until your moral claims can said to be true, then my rights could contradict yours, and it might not be reconcilable. Here someone smarter than me might even consider that the job of government is to reconcile the infinite, inconsistent beliefs, and to give some basis of "rights."

They've also been subject to a class action lawsuit, the Epic Games Store they set up was so barebones and badly put together that there were major security breaches in the first few weeks. Refunds still don't work properly. They eventually resorted to bribing people with free games to join their platform, and pressuring devs into exclusive deals with lower platform cuts instead of fixing their damn product. Their handling of problems has usually been dismissive and out of touch and seems to lead to toxic communities around their games. They're as anti-consumer of a company as it gets, although nobody really beats EA there I guess.

I mean congrats, they sued Apple adding a precedent to let devs use external ways of paying for microtransactions, something 99% of actual devs don't have the infrastructure to do anyway. It only helps Epic stuff their face a bit more. Like winning a lawsuit that lets you run self-refined gas in your car or something.

Also they're owned by Tencent, so yeah.

Not sure were you are seeing 50 years of this?

It mostly started becoming relevant in the 90s, back then Germany didn't even have any legislation on that front at all, just a very general paragraph about "computer/information system sabotage" they had to throw at phreakers and other early hackers, for the lack of any other law.

By the late 90s they tried to fix that situation, but as usual, only for the worse; The so called "Hackerparagraphs" were enacted, which literally banned the ownership of "hacking tools", that by legal definition technically even included stuff like a mundane Linux nmap or security tools distributed by the BSI [0].

Sounds nice in theory.

But how is syntax based version control ever supposed to work when we have so many languages that literally parse differently depending on dependencies that aren't even in the codebase? Let alone ones that easily take hours to compile even when they are in the codebase?

Sounds impossible in practice unless we restrict ourselves to sufficiently context free languages.

I'm with the McGuffin on this: Marriage existed long before Christianity, so if anyone gets to give up the word, it's the religionists. Or, heck, let's be generous and let them keep using the term, provided they use it with a qualifier: "Religious marriage", or something. As long as everybody knows that's not what actually counts for anything in the real world... But the word "marriage" in itself is part of language just like any other word, and there's no sensible reason to let the religionists co-opt even some small part of that.

(That's actually how it works, AFAIK, in traditionally deeply Catholic but legally wholly secular France: People "get married" twice. Once [usually first, AIUI] legally at the magistrate, and [then] optionally also in church, by a priest. But the latter is only "for show" -- for any deeply religious mothers and aunts who think that's "the real deal"; and, at a guess, in no small part to give the bride the grand show she's always been dreaming about.)

> During the civil trial, which lasted about three weeks, the judge criticized Walmart for the “intentional loss” of the security camera footage, according to court records. The judge, James T. Patterson, said that the court would advise the jury that the videotapes “were destroyed by the defendants with the intent” to deprive the plaintiff of the benefit of seeing them “and that the jury therefore is to presume that the content of the missing videos would be adverse” to the defendants.

It really feels like the case should be decided in favor for the plaintiff, with prejudice, in cases of destruction of evidence like this.

Lego sets these days seem geared more towards vapid consumerism than to promote free flow creative building. My kids found a way to fill that gap via knex.

I don't agree that only adults take enjoyment in the final product. It's just that adults and children are interested in different things and have different household decision making circumstances. As an adult, you wouldn't buy a zombie town lego set that consists of random pieces haphazardly thrown together even considering the prospect of build-anything flexibility nostalgia, and as a child, you typically don't have the means to buy architecture sets on an impulse, nor the inclination to stare at a complex lego project with few flexible components.

The usual suggestions are things like making a draw worth 1/3 of a win instead of 1/2, so that positions with more variance actually have higher EV for both players. Obviously this wouldn't work for a match like the current one, though: if there are only two people in the tournament, it's still zero-sum. A lot of people also don't like this sort of plan in general for other reasons.
My grandmother struggled with Alzheimer's for a few years until she passed. The entire time, she stayed with my grandfather in the house they had always lived in. There were falls, there were too many stairs, it was far too big, we all had many conversations about them moving out (which would've made the Alzheimer's worse.) They were both quite old (late 80s/early 90s)

I don't think anything wrong or tragic happened. My grandmother got to live her life out at home and my grandfather spent his time taking care of her until she passed away in his arms. He said he wanted to take care of his wife until he couldn't.

The only advice I have for you is the same I had for my mother (their daughter): Try not to over-focus on the living situation and all that. Focus instead on your parents. The end of life and death are crucial and beautiful and you don't want to miss out on it due to a cloud of worry. Be present.
> If you are in AWS, don't pretend that there is a real need for your applications to be deployable to multiple clouds.

Isn't the reason people do this to make sure they have leverage in case AWS increases prices in the future? I can see how cloud providers have probably made it extremely difficult to design for multiple clouds and so this effort might not be worth it but the reason at least seems justifiable.
Please do not take HN threads further into flamewar, regardless of how wrong someone is or you feel they are. It just makes everything worse.

I come from a country which US intelligence has many times been caught spying on its officials as recently as 2009[1]. A more recent scheme involved recruiting a convicted criminal with proven antisocial personality disorder[2] to spy on Julian Assanges friends. This has been known about since the 1960s at least among Icelandic communists and other left wing individuals. But until really recently (like 10 years ago) the government has been very sympathetic to this spying.

For some reason I feel like the US government officials probably share the sentiment of their Icelandic colleagues of old. These immoral activists that obviously step out of line, but the only thing that bothers the US officials is that they got caught. But even then it is not such a big deal.

If your users are all developers I’ve found `go install` an absolute winner for CLIs.
I must say... this is an interesting headline to see on HN...
No one wants a CLI in Ruby, and if you look arround there is no popular CLI written in Ruby it's one of the worse language to write CLI in because no one has the Ruby runtime installed on their machine, then you have different architectures, different OS etc ... Go is way way better than Ruby on that topic.

As for complex data structure, I don't understand exactly what do you mean, as if a dynamic language would model that easier than a strongly typed language.

When you get a single binary for CLI it's hard to use anything else, the pain of using pip for anything python based.

I've seen zero convincing evidence of "long covid".

Mostly I see it defined as vague psychological effects .. hard to imagine any universal confounding factors that might result in everyone having a poorer psyche in general in recent history.

The effects last a few weeks on average, 3 months in rare cases. While its odd an ominous for the effects to last that long, there's no reason to believe it will last for years.

And while there are some real permanent effects, like loss of smell + taste, these are extremely rare. Like vaccine induced myocarditis rare, maybe even more so.

Meanwhile, "all cause of death" rates are on the rise, despite ATH vaccination rates. Is that definitely because of "long covid", and definitely not because of the vaccine? That doesn't make sense to me.
Most people probably view from mobile so this would have limited usefulness.
