Apple has a loyal customer base and is designing some of the most amazing silicon to come out of Silicon Valley.

Meanwhile, Facebook's greatest strength is quickly copying or buying their promising new competitors. Somehow that seems like the strategy of company trying to prevent hemorrhaging. And it doesn't seem likely to scale long term now that they're on government radar.
I’m not an athlete in the intended sense of the word; like many here, I sit in front of a computer all day. I train Muay Thai however and like to track my activity.

According to my Whoop HR monitor, I burn around 1000-1200 kcal at 170 pounds during an hour long class. Not sure how accurate that is so take it with a grain of salt.
Facebook and online business of stealing viral videos (2015)
All of these decentralization arguments make me think of early git:

>Every Git clone is a full-fledged repository with complete history and full revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a central server...

http://web.archive.org/web/20080821113906/http://git-scm.com...

Sure git can be used without the need to have have a central server, but everything became so much simpler with github and other code repositories.

Decentralized systems are hard to navigate and humans will choose the easy thing every time.
Yeah I think it’s really important to use psychedelics with a therapist. I’ve seen a number of friends go down this path. Having a therapist can help ground you and understand what the experience means to your emotional body.

That being said due to subjectivity you are quite literally the center of your universe =P
> OpenSea is a great example of break the law until you get caught a

What law(s) are you claiming that OpenSea is breaking?
That's what OP said - almost impossible, not impossible. It's also possible to get hooked on eating paint or clay, but not many people do.
They're choosing to be there now, precisely like they were choosing to not be there before you changed the roads. Other people are also choosing to not be there, and instead choosing to live in the woods in northern Canada. I'm not sure how this mode of argument is really demonstrating anything. It seems like you just considering literally any state of affairs other than active physical coercion to be a good state of affairs.
> If the metric was really traffic, then that could easily be solved on any road by only allowing even-numbered license numbers to drive on even-numbered days, and vice-versa.

They tried this in Beijing. People would just buy second cars so they could drive on both days. Eventually they had to restrict new license plates as well.
I think it also frontiered GPU acceleration in user interfaces too.

If tourists drown in the canals of Amsterdam, they often did mushrooms (and came from France!).
“People drive more instead of giving up and staying home” is latent demand being met. “People drive more because building the highways made everything farther apart” is induced demand being created.
Do you have a peer reviewed study to support your opinion about Hacker News comments?
But reducing hospitalzitation alone isn't fair enough metric. What about people being disabled/dying from cardiovascular diseases as a consequence of mRNA therapy? They aren't taken into account by pharma and politicians. They are even going further against the common sense by blaming global warming!?
> Sometimes you just need a wider road. Pretending that's never the case is preposterous. If that was true then why do we keep multi-lane highways open instead of closing all but one of the lanes? Wouldn't that improve traffic, under this theory?

You're setting up this strawman where the argument is "improve roads" vs. "do nothing". That's obviously not the case. The argument is "improve roads" vs. "improve public transit". Demonstrably, improving roads is worse than improving public transit. You refer to this as a "fool's conclusion" yet this has been a well-known fact in the field for almost a century. The wikipedia article I linked has some good information on this if you'd like to learn more.
Hmm, good try, but it's not quite right. Here's a simpler way to get all the numbers divisible by 2, 3, 5, or 7, in a 100-number range, and which I think is easier to verify that it's correct:

numbers_not_divisible_by_2_3_5_7 = []
for i in range(520, 620):
is_divisible = False
for p in [2, 3, 5, 7]:
if i % p == 0:
is_divisible = True
break
if not is_divisible:
numbers_not_divisible_by_2_3_5_7.append(i)

print(numbers_not_divisible_by_2_3_5_7)
print(len(numbers_not_divisible_by_2_3_5_7))

And if you run this code you'll find that it demonstrates a counterexample. Between 520 and 620 there are 25 numbers which are not divisible by 2, 3, 5, or 7:

[521, 523, 527, 529, 533, 541, 547, 551, 557, 559, 563, 569, 571, 577, 583, 587, 589, 593, 599, 601, 607, 611, 613, 617, 619]

You really need to use all the primes from 2 to 13 inclusive to get a limit of 23. And even then I was only able to prove it by brute-forcing up to the primorial of 13, but maybe there's a simpler way.
Agree that the pro-legalization movement likes to claim "not addictive" but what they always have meant (which if pressed, they generally will acknowledge) is that it is not physically addictive.

It is, of course, psychologically addictive because literally anything can be.
It depends on what kind of media we're talking about.

A scientific article about the origin of omicron would be expected to provide citations and evidence behind everything it says. It would also be expected to discuss all the leading theories, as well as what additional information we need to figure out which theory is the one most likely to be correct.

A news article from a journalist might interview the experts to get their opinion and summarize the scientific consensus to the general public. Ideally it should also allow an interested reader to identify what scientific publications the news is talking about, should the reader desire to find more info.

This blog post is none of that. It ignores the leading theories in order to paint a biased picture that only a lab leak is possible. Their main "evidence" is someone on twitter. A close read reveals innumerable holes and red flags. For example, it when it says that omicron couldn't have evolved in an immunocompromised patient because they "don't have the antibodies". They actually do, it's just that they don't have as many! The whole point of the immunocompromised patient theory is that a long infection with a weak immune response provides selective pressure for immune evasion, while giving enough time for mutations to develop. Things like this demonstrate that this author has little idea of what they're talking about.

Someone else made a comparison to arguments from creationists, which I think is apt. They throw a bunch of things at the wall, hoping that something sticks. But they don't paint a coherent picture and if we look close it's a mess.
I was thinking the same thing! I 3D model would be really neat to watch and pick apart.

In the Bitwarden password generator you can use uppercase, lowercase letters, digits and !@#$%^&*. Is the lack of brackets or a minus really an issue for you?

There's similar efficiency losses for EVs, but (besides battery efficiency or thermal penalties) they're just further upstream.
Road usage isn’t necessarily success. For a political region, economic activity is usually considered a success.

If by building a larger road through your city, you induce people to live outside of your city instead of in it, then you’ve added costs while reducing your economic activity, while creating more total wasted hours in traffic in the process.

Are the trade offs worth it? Sometimes! But induced traffic demand is not by itself a success criteria for regions: it’s only a success if it means more people are able to work and have higher productivity in a region, as opposed to just spreading out the existing workers and reducing their productivity through increased commute times.
An alternative to 2. is: what is something that people already pay for, but have a lot of frustrations with.

How to find this out:

- Pay attention in everyday life to what people say about products they use

- Read the comments on Facebook ads for products

- Read reviews

- Join Facebook groups and forums for specific niches that interest you, see what people are struggling to achieve with existing tools
Hmm. I appear to stand corrected.

The size difference is stark, so I still wonder re: selective breeding.
To the comments regarding unable to purchase foods that are healthy - maybe we should re-introduce "home econ" to middle and high school?

Let us teach our children how to cook their own food. Maybe this will allow them to eat healthier. Clearly the "food pyramid", scientific articles, or scare tactics do not seem to work.
Why does it matter if it's included, it's trivial to install and extremely broadly useful?
Anecdotally, I have longterm visual side effects from taking magic mushrooms once 16 years ago (halos around objects, static on the walls, patterns pulsing, etc.) It's possible they were there prior but I didn't notice them, but these are not that uncommon from what I glean (see HPPD). I also had semi ego death for a year or two.
You're wrong because:

- Aggressively mining crypto consumes enough system resources that most users would notice it and uninstall the software. (Norton may have an edge here because users are used to Norton making their systems performance worse)

- Even aggressive mining produces very little on the vast majority of systems (really need gaming GPU to make any money). CPU mining hasn't been economically profitable for nearly a decade: Norton probably makes <$0.001 per day on the median machine. Managing a network of chromebooks cryptomining would probably be unprofitable for Norton even if only accounting for the cost to Nortons systems. Norton's only hope of making profits from this is from the "whales" with the best machines.

- Multiple programs mining on the same system would split the rewards, drawing down value of such a system even further (unless they use tricks to monopolize system resources in a way that would make it even more noticeable to users).
> The Antikythera mechanism is a strong indicator of technological regression in human beings.

Is it evidence of widespread technological regression, or "this small group with strong leadership did amazing things, too bad nobody can do that anymore", or just people not wanting it anymore?

For centuries after it was built, there was no large scale collapse that could bring a widespread regression (there were many localized ones, including on the place that built it), and clockmaking was never considered a lost art or anything like that.
If marijuana is addictive how is it I’m able to take weeks and months off each year (I live in a legal state) without withdrawals?

It stores itself in fat and I’ve definitely noticed it takes a few weeks before I’m entirely off the effects.

That’s a lot different than meth where addicts have mental breakdown without it.

Routine interaction with others is chemically stimulating and withdrawal into isolation can hurt. Is having friends addictive? Lockdown isolation has been harder than going without weed when I needed to.

I think the normies should stop trying to be experts. Experience and ability are relative just like physics. Seeing patterns in reality isn’t interesting; we all do it inherently as part of our innate biology.
The systemv init script for nginx had an upgrade operation (in addition to start/stop/reload etc) which would send the signal. Worked like a charm.
Hi blueflow, I see that today you are not tired of arguing semantics.

You're reading a bit too much between the lines here. I didn't mean any specific side, I assume both sides engage in this so it's meant in a general sense.

> On January 31st. 2020, Trump announces travel restrictions from China. On February 2nd (and for about a month after that) various officials from New York as well as Nancy Pelosi are on video telling the public that there is nothing to this virus, that they should continue life as normal, get on the subway, buses, trains, go to work, restaurants, festivals and entertainment venues. You can find the governor, mayor and director of health of New York making these statements as well as saying and implying that Trump was something between crazy, racist and hateful for sounding the alarm.

Facts matter indeed! Please do a google search as it sounds like you were completely checked out from news in the USA during February 2020 and have got your impression from politicized propaganda later on.

Trump downplayed the coronavirus that entire month and the democrats, while mildly sounding the alarm, followed his lead and repeated his theories that people shouldn’t take action.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/timeline-president-donald-trump...

* Trump Jan 30, 2020 “ "We think we have it very well under control. We have very little problem in this country at this moment — five — and those people are all recuperating successfully. But we're working very closely with China and other countries, and we think it's going to have a very good ending for us … that I can assure you,"

* Trump February 10 “ I had a long talk with President Xi — for the people in this room — two nights ago, and he feels very confident. He feels very confident. And he feels that, again, as I mentioned, by April or during the month of April, the heat, generally speaking, kills this kind of virus,"

* February 24 “ The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!"

* February 26 “ And again, when you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done,"

The Nancy pelosi in Chinatown comment you reference took place on February 24, the same day Trump said there was nothing to worry about and Covid was completely under control. They were actually in sync! https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/nancy-pelosi-visits-sa...

Occam's Razor says, "yes!"
"Marijuana is addictive, I know that many people will deny it, just like they say it's not unhealthy to smoke, it is, there is definitely harm done."

I agree with this, but I think some of the pushback may be coming from people in recovery from alcohol, meth, cocaine, opiates, etc. We only have so many words to choose from, and those "addictions" more often drive death, divorce, abandonment, insane decisions, and so on. So adding marijuana to the list feels like it might dilute the message, or diminish someone's view of the dangers, etc.

"almost impossible to abuse mushrooms"

No personal experience with that, but I can attest to how different people's experiences with anything are. There's plenty of heavy users of my list of substances above that never seem to slip into the kind of hell that other people do.

It doesn't. You only need a blockchain to keep public data. You can sign a message and login with that, no need to send a transaction, can be done with balance 0
Ask HN: Accidentally getting a lot of traffic from Google. What now?
I made a post about differences between streaming versions of The Matrix [1], and shortly afterward I started getting a lot of Google search traffic (tens of thousands of visitors in the past 24 hours).

It looks like this is because my post is the #2 result when you search "the matrix hulu" and similar variations on Google. I didn't intend for this to happen.

I've added a box at the top of the post that tells people that The Matrix isn't on Hulu anymore and what their other options are.

I see two paths forward:

1) Try to drop in search rankings because it seems like people are getting to the post from somewhat unrelated searches. I think I could do this by changing the name of the post.

2) Leave the post as-is even though I didn't intend for this to happen because the other search results are filled with ads and no information at all. At least my post actually tells people they can't watch on Hulu.

What do you think the right move is? Is there something else I haven't considered?

This is a straightforward problem: I would like to be able to surround words and phrases with () and "" in Chrome/FF.

Our IDEs and text editors allow us to do it [0], and I miss this feature in other software like browsers and MS Word. In a browser context, I would use this feature for writing search queries and emails using webmail (Gmail, Outlook Web, etc.). I found one relevant browser extension, but it is closed-source and has a bug.

> Here in city (Seattle) most people drive because transit tends to be spotty and slow for most people...So, what's the solution? Make driving worse of course. Speedbumps everywhere. Change 4-lane roads to 2-lanes. Remove parking. Lower speed limits to absurd levels. Make through streets dead ends.

This is obviously not the solution that anyone is proposing. You're arguing in bad faith against a strawman. The solution to bad public transit is to make public transit better.
This problem is currently being solved by WebAuthn. For social recovery, if desired, the private key can be split up using Shamir's secret sharing.
Yeah, it's sort of like saying "the knife didn't cause them to die, they were just an undiagonosed hemophiliac and the wound failed to close properly."

However, teasing out the steelman from this, what they mean is "becoming crazy is not a necessary effect of recreational drug use, but rather a contingent effect."

I've seen studies before trying to study this, for example cannabis and latent schizophrenia. One complication is that recreational drug use goes hand-in-hand with self-medication of undiagnosed issues.
I was at a Citgo the other day, and remembered some fragment of an older comment like yours above.

I mashed all the screen-border buttons in a widdershins U-shape, and something I did made the noise stop. It might well have been the 2nd on the RHS.

If you doubled the number of hospital beds, doctors, nurses, diagnostic equipment, labs … and demand was high enough to keep prices constant, you’ve doubled healthcare access at a rate patients were already willing to pay.

The lowest risk to high burn ratio is probably swimming in a non-heated pool. Whether a person can burn that many calories doing that, depends on the lenght of the session, and their body and muscle mass. The heavier a person is, the more calories they burn just by breathing. Same with muscle.

Thanks to some people, a calorie as defined in the SI is 1/1000 a CAL as written in food packaging. So people keep saying calories when actually talking about kilocalories. So by breathing for a couple of minutes an adult burns about a 1000 calories (or 1 CAL or 1 kcal).

There is no completely safe activity. You can pull a muscle just by laying on a sofa, or get back pain from sitting incorrectly.

Exercise mitigates these risks and increases others. The sweet spot for adults, as per the WHO, is between 2.5 to 5 hours of aerobic exercise per week, and about 2 hpk of strength exercise. More than that and injuries outweigh benefits.

Can anyone lose a 1000 kcal per day extra by exercising? Probably. Can anyone spend two or three hours doing laps at the pool, daily, for the foreseeable future? Doubtful.
Blanket implementation is a very common idea in Rust. The standard library "owns" its own Traits and so it gets to provide blanket implementations for those, but you can do the same for your own.

Here's (really, this is literally the code) how std provides a blanket implementation of Into given From:

impl<T, U> Into<U> for T
where
U: From<T>,
{
fn into(self) -> U {
U::from(self)
}
}

There's actually a chain, From implies Into, Into implies TryFrom, then TryFrom implies TryInto.
