I've recently read "Dopamine Nation" by Anna Lembke, and most of the stuff in the book resonated well with me. I really don't spend too much time on social media, but my addiction has been online gaming for awhile. The book does a great job of describing the chemical imbalance caused by immediate access to dopamine we all have with the internet.

The key takeaway from the book for me was that abstinence is necessary and withdrawal is part of getting better. I have tried all kinds of tools and tricks to avoid gaming before, but learning "why" it's happening has been the key to actually succeed.
It could also hint that excess deaths from lockdown policies are higher than expected. COVID deaths are almost certainly undercounted by some factor, but suicides and drug overdoses are skyrocketing. These numbers would make sense if the cure is worse than the disease too.
I just said I don’t believe it’s the case.
What is the api? Storage heavy? Compute heavy? Why M1?
For air travel, the stops (airports) are the congested nodes but the way between them (air) has much more possibility.

Trains are limited onto tracks and cannot merge out of the way, so point to point more quickly exhausts route capacity. Stations are less of a constraint.

Trains also lower the cost of transferring; airplane transferring is at best a hassle and at worst an ordeal. Meanwhile, trains can literally stop across the same platform across from each other so you walk a few meters at most. Japan does this a lot, where trains are timed to facilitate such quick connections.
It's not about the point you are making or that people are disagreeing. It's you misrepresenting the point of the article that's the problem.
Why would you want that? There isn’t a cheaper centralized system of rendering 3D graphics that uses 1/1000 the energy.

We can handle transactions with quite little energy using traditional means. It’s not pseudonymous or decentralized and it’s not extremely efficient. But compared to Bitcoin it’s a wonder of efficiency.

I wouldn’t take anything off the table when it comes to banning energy use. But rendering in particular seems like a strange choice.

Incandescent bulbs were banned because there was a good alternative. PoW cryptocurrency is the incandescent bulb.
Can you explain how that Ponzi scheme works? I read parts of the source code before I invested in Bitcoin, and it looked to me like an open, honest system with easy-to-understand, clean code (unlike what Ponzi was doing, which is basically lying about customer deposits).

I had doubts about elliptic curve digital signatures being safe enough to hold my money (I’m still thinking of using Lamport signatures in a multisig, as I trust them more), but I don’t see other serious problem with the system.

I expect there will be complicated regulations like in the financial industry and most people will end up using things like AWS Blockchain to build their web3 stuff.
What kind of undertaking do you mean, going to work on commercial games or hobbyist game jam style games?

Commercial games tend to be pretty calculating, and audiences are used to this, there novel game types are risky and rare.
Predicting football game outcomes in betting regions, a hobby passion project
I have a lot of inside knowledge on how betting odds are calculated as I used to work at a firm that was heavily involved in bookmaking.

I've made a completely free website/tool that predicts the outcome of football games and compares it against the predicted odds that bookmakers worldwide are giving in order to find you the best possible return on bets.

It's really just for fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously, but maybe some of you will find the idea interesting!
The 8000 series was a custom J2ME shell around a pretty basic set of services that were completely tied to the BES (enterprise server). They even had to be upgraded to work with "public", "unbound" e-mail accounts, which were all routed through RIM's services.

It was almost a thin client, really.
This isn't really a fair criticism. I could be wrong, but I believe your comment reflects a bit of naivete about the current state of evidence-based medicine.

To evaluate the value of performing a diagnostic test as an intervention, you DO have to look at final actual patient outcomes at an appropriate end target which includes sending people unnecessarily down different treatment paths, including additional testing with additional risks. And most importantly is that, in fact, mere knowledge of diagnostic results has been PROVEN to cause harm in many scenarios.

Now... if a patient WANTS that test, I think it should be available. But whether or not it should be performed routinely without prompting is an appropriate question for regulatory bodies.

I got into Zwift right at the beginning of the pandemic- previously, I rode a bike for part of my commute, but I would often lose fitness in the winter, when the roads made it difficult to make that commute. I never went to the gym, or did any other "real" exercise other than a lot of walking.

I got a "wheel-off" trainer (Wahoo Kickr) attached to my crappy hybrid commuter bike that I already had, and set up a "pain cave" in the basement with an older TV.

It's been great- since the start of the pandemic, I've lost over 20% of my body weight (and am in the "normal" BMI range fwiw), and my resting heart rate is low enough that when I get my blood pressure and pulse checked, they have to double-check the readout. I'm in the best shape of my life since college.

I actually like the social aspect of Zoom- I think having other people around me triggers that latent competitiveness, and I ride harder than I would otherwise. There's a good variety of events and workouts, and there's a really supportive community.

If the data suggests that lockdowns are causing excess mortality, that should be important to public policy discussions regardless of how it feels.
If Bitcoin mining ends, then it's because Bitcoin ended too.

The block reward is lessening, yes. But miners also get the fees from the transactions in the block they mined, which incentivizes them to keep mining (mining is also what secures the whole thing).

I'd speculate that energy usage will go down somewhat in the future, but not significantly.

> making this 0.1% of world consumption

I believe that your info makes it sound even worse than the headline if you take into account how few people use cryptocurrencies vs. the amount of people worldwide using electricity directly or indirectly.
Personally, I found Leechblock to provide adequate extra steps for what you're describing. I agree with your point, what generally needs to be done is adding some sort of brain-teasing inconvenience. Adding some sort of "roadblock" against your brain going auto-pilot is what always helped me making more conscious decisions.

SDL_DYNAMIC_API is a relatively recent addition (IIRC 2014), so static SDL2 builds from before that won't work this way.
I want a digest system for notifications on my phone.

This used to be common for mailing lists and web forums with email notification systems. I could get an email daily or weekly with the replies to my posts and subscriptions instead of real-time. The temptation to poll manually was reduced because I knew I'd be notified eventually.

I want to be able to tell my phone to do the same with its notifications, preferably with fine-grained control. For messaging apps, it would be extra nice if the sender could mark a suggested priority so I could let certain people I trust not to abuse the privilege interrupt me when they think it's urgent enough.
There is a tiny silver of academic CS called "human-computer interaction" (HCI) which has a lot to do with game design.

Having been on the periphery of academic CS at times I think the whole enterprise is terribly imbalanced.

A big part of the activity in social impact is in teaching the introductory CS courses which are required for many majors. PhD programs understand that their graduates have to be able to teach these classes, but few CS academics are excited about it.

Some areas get huge amounts of funding and fill up conference proceedings for decades without significant results. Other areas are funded heavily in Europe but seem almost blacklisted in the U.S. (The "Semantic Web")

I have written quite a bit of run-of-the-mill applications software for which is there is a huge need, just like for the intro CS class. For a long time I have been the quantitatively trained person who knows about data structures, algorithms, race conditions, ontologies, etc.

Lately I have been doing art side projects and have gotten very interested in the work of people like Walt Disney and Jim Henson who created imaginary worlds that people would like to inhabit. I see that study as related to game design and leading to very real gains in application software such as customer satisfaction, more revenue, lower support costs, etc.
The author of “Die With Zero” makes an interesting observation: Experiences do compound in a way: the longer you have an experience, the more you can surface the memory over your life, leading to memories of memories which are themselves pleasant.
One of my antidotes to this: I perform large-scale musical works! The Bach St. Matthew Passion takes around three hours. Messiah is nearly that long. The flow state from performing or rehearsing these works is really quite wonderful.

Reading (books, not short articles) a lot also helps, I believe.

> So either they have to 40x their production to match their current market cap or drastically eat into another industry

They can also justify a higher market cap through higher margins. The challenge with that is that other automakers are showing they can also build electric cars, so there's competition that will drive down margins. It also looks like Ford is beating them to the truck market (and with a truck truck people actually want).

Strength sessions 3-4 times a week.

HIIT style conditioning sessions 2-3 times a week.

At least 1 hour long LISS style endurance session once a week, rarely more than this.

Loads of walking around our neighborhood, pushing a wagon or a stroller or walking our dogs, and weekend hikes (rucks, I carry my toddlers, one at a time, on local trails).

I apply a minimum effective dose mentality to the strength and conditioning. I follow Tactical Barbell training protocols. I'm in my 40s and I am in the best shape of my life. Not as fast as I was when I was younger, of course, but no slouch, either, yet much, much stronger and with more stamina and endurance.
The White House admits that they're in regular communication with social media platforms and are flagging problematic posts on facebook. What about that is drivel?

> Q Thanks, Jen. Can you talk a little bit more about this request for tech companies to be more aggressive in policing misinformation? Has the administration been in touch with any of these companies and are there any actions that the federal government can take to ensure their cooperation, because we’ve seen, from the start, there’s not a lot of action on some of these platforms.

> MS. PSAKI: Sure. Well, first, we are in regular touch with these social media platforms, and those engagements typically happen through members of our senior staff, but also members of our COVID-19 team, given, as Dr. Murthy conveyed, this is a big issue of misinformation, specifically on the pandemic.

> In terms of actions, Alex, that we have taken — or we’re working to take, I should say — from the federal government: We’ve increased disinformation research and tracking within the Surgeon General’s office. We’re flagging problematic posts for Facebook that spread disinformation. We’re working with doctors and medical professionals to connect — to connect medical experts with popular — with popular — who are popular with their audiences with — with accurate information and boost trusted content. So we’re helping get trusted content out there.

The blockchain model is designed to be immutable, a block of transactions are locked in place by the blocks before and after it. A traditional database structure wouldn't have that form of baked-in security, though I'm sure there are other models that could work.
> A complete deletion is not really an option since I enjoy Twitter, Reddit, HN to stay up-to-date with the tech world :)

For me, there are two primary negative aspects of social media and two "cancellations" (at least partial) to address them:

- The time lost to not even slightly productive content like memes and anime fanart. The solution for me was to cut Reddit out entirely since I was primarily subscribed to such content there. Most of the time that was spent on Reddit is now spent reading books (which at least improve my vocabulary) or watching educational YouTube videos about maths, science, electronics or CNC machining. I consider this problem mostly solved.

- The stress, frustration and hopelessness of participating in online discussions. My solution has been to try and reduce the frequency with which I interact with people on HN and other platforms. When I do interact, I try (not always successfully) to avoid controversial topics and to engage in such a way that the chances of conflict are minimal. For example instead of saying "you should use X", I'd say something like "I'm surprised you're not using X, how come you decided to use Y instead?". This has mostly addressed the problem, when I have issues now it's usually because I made the mistake of commenting on something somewhat controversial (e.g. touching anything to do with COVID).
Cool.

For the in-garage option, I've encountered three fully enclosed and insulated cubicles/offices in garages.

The first was a construction Project manager who built his along one side wall of his garage. I was very curious and talked with them about it and they had a couple good thoughts. The first was that they had a nice big window opening to the garage. Even it only gave them a view of their pickup truck, it really made the office feel less like a closet and could be opened for ventilation. The other advice was to leave enough room by the garage door for a repairman to get at everything; on a long enough timeline it will be necessary.

The other two were built by tradesmen I knew with single bay shops. They both built their offices on big casters for flexibility and one would roll theirs outside when they cleanded the shop.
In a lot of cases we don't even have a good cause of death. There are a lot of areas without a good medical examiner system and the systems are overloaded even when they normally are good.

Covid is quite capable of killing with a clot when your symptoms aren't to the point that you'll be in the hospital these days. This will show up as a stroke or a heart attack or pulmonary embolism--and if the docs don't put in the effort they won't know it was Covid (and for that matter it can't be proven anyway--lethal clots happen even without Covid. While it's a reasonable presumption that Covid caused the clot there's no proof in any given case.) There's also a lot of families that don't want Covid on the death certificate--even more reason the clot won't be attributed to Covid.

(And, yes, there are plenty of other ways clots can kill--I'm just looking at the cases that are likely to kill without ever reaching the hospital.)

Undertakers have also been noticing this--lots of bodies showing Covid clotting even though they aren't reported as Covid deaths.

Edit: I forgot an additional factor. If you do survive your Covid hospital stay you have a substantially elevated all-cause mortality rate at least for the next year. AFIAK the mechanism has not yet been identified.
Isn't this just not going to the bar, except reframed using the somewhat nebulous concept of "habits" that are implied to be some sort of external force that steers our fate and determines our action, not entirely dissimilar to the gods of old.
I wouldn't call one bug, in one software a "vengeance". Yea, it's widly used, and affected lots of mail but was very limited and had a trivial work-around.

But, the Y2K issue, back then, was in 1000s of software from 1000s of vendors. The only Y2K affect I remember was the first issue of 2600 in 2000.

It's sad that because of the farce that diversity and tolerance has become in USA - people in countries that could actually use some diversity are discouraged from it.

If you want equality of outcomes maybe instead of giving points for skin color and gender - consider reducing the barriers of entry (which in USA are almost always economic in the end)? It would not only solve the problem people of color, but also for "white trash" and other disadvantaged groups that aren't trendy.
Any arguments against bitcoin are shattered by one simple fact: currently bitcoin is the least risky and simultaneously the easiest way for russian citizens to fund anti-Putin opposition. Any first world do-gooder who wants to ban it because 'it is bad for environment' should first ban himself from existence because humans are bad for environment.
Startups are hard: even for ultimately winning ideas, likely to see poor win/loss rate, unknowns, few resources, no 40 hour work week, etc. with 5-10 years to exit or more likely, failure. Even when things go super well, they just go to your limit in other ways -- most of my male CEO friends went prematurely gray/bald/etc, irrespective if $30M co or $30B.

I was just advising a new founder yesterday: one of the best advices questions I received when working through some ideas is which I cared enough about to do for the next 5+ years. Money can be the motivator, but extrinsic motivators are hard over long periods.

The billionaire thing matters more if you are taking VC money, bc they need people (a) with big ideas and (b) willing to repeatedly increase company risk in exchange for VC capital and that unlikely shot of going from millions to billions, even when the numbers stop making sense. But for non-VC startups, (a) is enough!

Interesting, thanks for that! I'd guess the one which Facebook added is quite skewed, because the default action is thumbs up and the rest are hidden, especially on mobile, where you can't just hover to see them and people are lazy.
Prison Architect is one of the most disturbing media I've experienced, way beyond Frog Blender and the torture scenes from 24. That is, you play someone who does cruel things to people while sitting comfortably at a distance.

Invest in utilities. XLU and VPU are two decent ETFs.
Being able to choose between horrible options is exactly the definition of freedom. Believe it or not many people would choose free destitution over pampered slavery. It is exactly the ability to make this choice, at the most extreme level, that should be respected. To take an maximal example: you should be able to sell your kidneys to fuel your heroin habit, for no other reason than because no one can claim more ownership over them than you.

To protect people, against their will, from the consequences of their own misfortune or inadequacy is fundamentally paternalistic. The goal isn't efficiency, but the primacy of agency and consent.
> Purpose of the flag 1. To be used while representing planet Earth.

Whoever you are, you do not represent the planet Earth. At most perhaps you represent some fraction of one species on the planet. To claim otherwise is a kind of colonialism. It is no more justified when you do it than when a queen or pope does it.

And if in some bizarre scifi scenario you come to represent the planet Earth in some sense ... wouldn't it be better to just use a picture of Earth? It's quite distinctive.
On a philosophical level, I think the flawed premise you’re presenting here is that inflation is a problem that needs to be solved. Inflation is unpopular because it’s effectively a tax on unproductive wealth. Inflation incentivizes investment because idle wealth will lose it’s value at the rate of inflation.

On a technical level, Bitcoin is worse than a currency because it’s value can fluctuate wildly constantly and transaction fees are high. I don’t know what’s going to happen when we get a “Run on the bank” type of scenario but I suspect it’s not going to be good for the little guy.

The ability of central banks to manage a crisis isn’t a bug, it’s a feature. The trade off is one we’ve made throughout history, we have to give control to other folks who may not have our best interest at heart.

I fundamentally believe Bitcoin will collapse the next time we have a global economic catastrophe and it’ll have no tools to handle it.
They should have some proportion of green that matches the amount of green found on earth. Maybe some white for clouds would be good too.
I'm gonna skip the obvious whataboutism of your argument, but your 2nd layer networks have just re-invented centralization of federated and trusted peers, congrats.

International settlements aren't a technological problem. SWIFT has been commoditizing international transactions for many decades. When there's still friction, it exists by design. International transfers are pretty fast and cheap between countries that agree on the same rules and regulations regarding capital flows.

Sure you can use Bitcoin to avoid these regulations. But most people and businesses aren't actually interested in illegal ways to move money.
