Great, now how does one convert Gallium oxide back to Gallium? No shortcuts here, need either abundant energy or abundant reactant where we can just throw away the reaction product. Alkaline minerals are example of the later.

If you're with a group of people who drink alcoholic beverages, and you want to fit it, a non-alcoholic beer is probably better than a juice.
That's an interesting question. I am not sure if there is a process where any significant CO2 would be generated directly in this event. However, dust in the atmosphere tends to cause global cooling.
I bought Oculus Quest 2 about a month ago. The games I play the most probably wouldn't be even possible (or at least fun) without VR - Pistol Whip (you need to evade slow-moving bullets) and Thrill of the Fight (boxing simulator). It's more of a fitness device for me now.

Compatibilism refers to the position that "free will" can be meaningfully accepted to exist in a purely deterministic world. It is the position that even if we accept that your actions 10 years from now could have been predicted with 100% accuracy the very second the Big Bang happened, we can still hold that you have free will in a meaningful sense. The name refers to the idea that free will is compatible with a perfectly determined future.

> doesn't saying there are hard and easy decisions require there be a difference of quality between the categories?

Not necessarily. There is a difference of "quantity" if you want, but not quality. It's like the following model: it's easy to compute 1+1, and it's hard to compute 19312123+123468. But they are not qualitatively different, they don't need different explanations: they both have the same nature, they use the same algorithm, one is just a bigger amount of state than the other.

One solution to this is legally enforceable, personal ownership of ones data.

Distributed machine learning makes it possible to proffer data for insights without necessarily sharing it off-device. And unlocking some functionality in exchange.

I'm sure more elaborate patterns of exchanges are possible. Is anyone working on this?
You have misunderstood me. It is up to the parents to explain to the children that there are such things and that one day they might see them by chance. Just as children can come into contact with drugs by chance through friends. It is up to the parents to prepare the children psychologically for these situations and to act wisely in this moment. For example, children could stop watching such videos early instead of continuing to watch them or simply say no to drugs because they are already prepared.

The idea of protecting children from all this through control is naive for two reasons:
1. you can't monitor children 100%. This leads to the fact that I can never prevent all things. Both in reality and on the net.
2. as adults, these children must have already thought about all this in order to act wisely. A child who moves out at 18 and has not yet dealt with it is completely on their own, although the adults would have had time to explain everything to the children.

And one more thing from pedagogy that contradicts what you said: children process only what they understand and is relevant to them. For example, if you explain to a 4-year-old child what rape is, the child will absorb almost nothing of it. For the child, sex and the sexual need is foreign. Thus, they cannot derive much information from the explanation.

I have seen a lot of sick stuff on the net as a teenager. For example, a beheading of a white journalist in the Middle East by Islamists. No one could have prevented me from clicking on the link friends sent me. However, it could have been explained to me that there are such things on the net and how that should be classified. In the end, it was up to me to classify it. And of course, such experiences could have led to anything. For example, racism.
The article has a demonstration that directly contradicts your argument. See the illustration that follows the text "To make things easier to see let’s briefly drop down to a two dimensional case and consider a simplified scenario with signals from just three satellites."

I say "we" because I rarely implement features alone in a single commit. Features are usually a team effort over a period of time.

Even if I do something entirely alone out of my own initiative, it's usually with the blessing (or indifference) of the team or its lead.
Yes, but this kind of understanding can't be used by a "media" company infamous for its rag tabloids (and a former editor-in-chief fired because he fucked his employees and kept a laminated fake copy of a divorce certificate to prove that he is really, really, really not married) to force users to watch their ads. Have you no business sense??!? /s

Sure, but that didn't have anything to do with my departure. I didn't particularly care about the title -- I was always much more concerned with the problems I was solving, the people I was solving them with, and the customers that we served. And honestly, it was Oracle's behavior with respect to the last of these -- namely, Oracle's total disdain for its customers -- that I just couldn't stomach. In short, I found myself ashamed of my employer -- and that's why I left.
I appreciate your desire to point to the research. Many if not most of the comments in this thread are rejecting it out of hand without even looking at it. That's disappointing and, given the topic, ironic.

However, breaking the HN guidelines against shallow dismissals, snark, and sneering is definitely not a good way to make this point. Besides adding poison to the ecosystem, posts like this have no persuasive power—in fact they have negative persuasive power: they reinforce the very thing you're complaining about.

A better way would be to take a look at the actual research and bring in some interesting information that you find there. If you don't want to do that or don't have time to do it, that's fine, but please don't make empty spiteful posts.

>The major issue was not being able to see the keyboard.

I came to the conclusion that this was THE issue holding VR productivity (and gaming) back, after a few weeks of using the Quest 2. The passthrough feature they have is like a v0.1 of what's that's really needed for this tech to excel. Haptic gloves look like they might nudge things along a little bit more, but ultimately being able to see your actual keyboard and mouse projected into the environment is essential if you're going to come off the controllers and start using high-productivity inputs.

What would really be needed for this is a digital twin of your input devices, and some kind of simple tracker you can physically attach to them so that the VR headset can overlay into VR like it does with the handsets.
That depends on how patient you are. Changing the course of a rock over a couple of decades can probably be done with some paint and solar radiation.

At one point I think you could use opensubtitles.org without a username and password. I wonder in hindsight if the liability of storing PII was worth it?
In my experience, generating documentation from code is a fools errand (unless it's API documentation). The key (and hard part) to documenting existing code is to understand which details emphasize and which ones can be left out. I read documentation in order to more quickly understand a software component than I would by just reading it's code.
I’m sure that when it was only Nginx and Apache for reverse proxy options it was the only way to go, however, these days for rev proxy, I prefer HAProxy for enterprise and Caddy for personal stuff..
Arrogant? It's arrogant?

You might want to read up on the effects of higher CO2 levels on human cognition. It's not pretty. And it completely blows your comment out of the water.

We already know that the CO2 levels that are forecast this century are going to be catastrophic. This isn't a "we'll see" situation anymore. We have seen. The only question is whether we will do something about it before it is far, far too late.

You need to worry about the next 50 years before you start worrying about 500 million years.
Copper SPF+ get very hot and waste a ton of electricity. I think doing anything over 2.5G on copper is not ideal.
Well, not when licensed entertainment is involved. Subtitles may sound harmless but are enough to start a court battle. This happened in Poland with a similar site. I would not dare to claim that authors motives and all actions were clean and done in the open, but for sure they were targeted by various media groups for copyright infringement just because of plain subtitles.

You need resources to deal with that and it's not gonna be a clean fight.

I know the US is wrongly convicting its ethnic minorities. I don't have such proof with China. I live in the country that lied about WMDs and incubator babies in Kuwait. The one that considered bombing civilians in Miami to blame on Castro.

The US was doing counter terrorism in the region with the CPC until a few years ago, when vocational training and community investment were seen as better deradicalization strategies by the Chinese government. I think it's comical that US citizens are taking US state department sides given how our "nation building" panned out in the Middle East.

We have more prisoners overall than China and they make around 50 cents an hour for menial labor. Why aren't there trade sanctions on Idaho golden potatoes, but anything involving Xinjiang? Not one Muslim-majority country has accused China of abusing Uyghur populations, the "international community" here means NATO.

I got called a "genocide denier" too for questioning the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the word means nothing at this point. We're aiding and abetting a genocide in Yemen, my taxes go to that, I care about it way more than the US talking about "alleged human rights abuses". Like we haven't heard that one before. At some point it becomes the boy who cried wolf. What, are we going to bring democracy to Uyghurs via a proxy war that creates a new ethnostate through a militant religious zealot minority? And it's going to work this time? At some point I figure people would learn but they seem all too content to repeat the same foreign policies that come back to haunt us
These days a lot of the subtitle files actually have ads embedded in the text itself, either during the movie or at the beginning/end.
So sad... My grand-dad (a mostly self-educated inventor with 200 patents to his name) turned me on to SciAm in the late 1960's. I immersed myself in the world of Martin Gardner, Douglas Hofstadter, and A. K. Dewdney.

It may be difficult for the younger generation to really grasp how important a single magazine or newspaper could be back then, with today's overabundance of information channels. Most of them, if they exist at all, are now a pathetic shell of their former selves.
The extent to which "it matters" is subjective, I guess. I'm now the parent of a 2-year-old toddler and we didn't track any of that, we just were on the look for obvious signs of alarm but if everything looked normal we didn't count any of those variables. Everything went fine.

In fact, we almost had a problem due to "too much data tracking": in the first weeks, there was a point in which the baby hadn't gained weight for a week so the pediatrician suggested to give up exclusive breastfeeding and give him some formula to complement it. After some thought, we decided against it: we were quite aware of the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding, saw that the baby was otherwise looking and behaving fine, thought that the data on such short term maybe would not be significant, and gave him another week without changing anything. Next week, the baby was growing just fine, and he was exclusively breastfed until 6 months.

That said, if there's something I have learned as a parent is not to judge other parents, because no one knows what the right style of parenting is (and even when we know that option X is better than option Y, real life often makes it impossible to implement). So if data tracking apps work for some parents, more power to them, of course.
I'm struggling to see how this pays off for them. The amount of base stations they'd have to put up and maintain seems ludicrous. Surely it'll be cheaper, in a densely populated area, to build out fiber (which the base stations need anyway)!

But yeah, I don't doubt that they'll try to lure a good amount of people in. Enough to make some free money, not enough to have to actually invest more in the network. Kinda like how ISPs (at least in Europe) were heavily pushing ISDN onto people as we stood before the dawn of DSL.

I doubt it'll be a large proportion of urban users though. I must admit I lived for a year on this kind of service, but this was because the town I lived in had some strange some strange local government monopoly on ISPs, and the monopolist delivered service that was barely usable (not hyperbole). The mobile providers circumvented this by "not being ISPs", and while what they offered was as terrible as everyone else in this thread has related, it beat out the even more terrible monopolist cable offer. I switched to fiber as soon as the monopoly was lifted.
Political outsiders are always called crazy and/or incompetent, and since the parties can control reality via their media influence everyone accepts the narrative. Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to destroy the state, Ross Perot was mocked as a crazy incompetent, Ralph Nader etc… Always the same narrative.

But the reality is, the stars of both political parties are, in many cases, crazy or incompetent themselves. Many examples. Some of the top party figures are starting to suffer from dementia and literally have had episodes, clear mental lapses, while speaking publicly. Despite the recorded evidence, the average news watching voter is convinced that political outsiders, even those who have had long successful careers in some competitive field outside politics (say brain surgeon or ceo) cannot perform similar duties because they don’t have the party’s endorsement. Party endorsement is not evidence of sanity or competent leadership.
Australia hit record highs last week, so did Canada.

It does for certain keyboard models[0]. You can bring them into VR without bringing anything else, and their position will be tracked in VR even if you move them.

> With shared libraries, replacing the shared library is enough.

Yes, but if a shared library update includes a bug, it affects all your programs! That's why it is a double-edged sword: The same mechanism that solves the bugs can also deliver bugs.
I tend to use haproxy only in situations where I don't have access to a 'proper' load balancer (e.g, something which does tcp connection state failover and all that jazz); make it listen on lo0 on each client server, who then just talk to 127.0.0.1:whatever..

It does mean you are doing health checks from each client service/app, but it only eats a few mb of ram, and then you don't have to deal with making your haproxy service HA :}
They did not make a good case. "No place to hide" is vindictive emotional manipulation at best and their fantasies about online interactions are a bit weird. Maybe they should be watched and their exchanges put under scrutiny? Institutions for children are often the source of their abuse.
Gamers being hard wired has everything to do with consistent latency in twitch style FPS's. That said, consistent latency is pretty beneficial in most PVP games.

I'm happy to watch ads so I don't have to pay for Instagram, Google Search & Docs, Gmail, Twitch, Youtube and most of my podcasts. I wouldn't be able to afford it if I couldn't pay with scrolling of my mouse past such ad (or my data, no worries)
> But either way, that comment from /u/jessaustin that was completely hidden (unless you enable show-dead) was less harsh (it was probably even just a fact) then the "HN is a right wing cesspool" comment that was not hidden

You can't draw any conclusion at all from a pair of random data points (or rather, you can draw any conclusion at all). Moderation isn't a total ordering—it's a stochastic process that mostly works with random samples.

> The first comment that I searched for to look at its parent comments was created 11 months ago by an account 11 months old... "HN is a right wing cesspool"... I truly believe that he was new here, or trolling.

There are countless other examples. If you don't see how commonly commenters say this kind of thing, it must be because you're not noticing it (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
I believe it matters if the same account is used on other devices that have adblock. But this is just a guess.
I think one use case was subtitle downloading (typically, a client like Subdownloader) for VPN users, whose requests would be denied if unauthenticated.
VR is still early due to the cost and complexity of PCVR. While Facebook Meta has a great compelling product that I use daily, their brand is just toxic to most people in developed countries.

I believe VR is ready for work, you can invest in an HP G2 and beefy enough PC. However, I believe its main current use cases are still either fitness or virtually socializing with people you cannot physically meet with due to either lockdowns, distance, or just convenience.
I use a DM-42 nearly every day. A German company (Moravia) has recently taken over HP’s calculator operations which gives me hope.
First, you have to share your experiences with the deceased with others. Hear what they say about them. In few bursts throughout the day. Get in small groups (best if these groups are created spontaneously rather than arranged), and speak about the deceased. Just share. Let others share. Get into maybe 3-4 such discussions per day. Do it for 4-5 days.

Write about your feeling with no bars held. Even if you decide to burn the paper later. Write your heart out on paper with pen. Don't edit or filter it. Let it flow undeterred.

Sometimes grief strikes you in bouts. After 2-3 days you might feel all okay, like the grief has disappeared, and it doesn't affect you anymore. But it will strike again- in periods- again and again. It is only natural.

You should also know that- "everything will be okay" is a lie. You just learn to live with the changed reality.

Know that proximity to people who shared their company for prolonged periods of time is the key to get out of grief.

Do not avoid your grief. Embrace it and live with it.
Employment. I'm old enough to wonder if it's age discrimination. I've got a messed up work history that it probably isn't, but I never had problems finding work until after I was 35 (I'm 47 now). I've done enough crazy things that I've added additional obstacles to normal sane employment. But, I'd like a stable job, one that pays well enough to import my wife, in the UK/Ireland or US based working remote (EU would also be great but brexit took that away from me). I've been working short term contracts that are okay and I live in a cheap place (I am living in Turkey), but my last contact just ended.

My last job was game dev but I'd rather do things I previously was doing, Python/perl/C/Matlab scientific computing.
Such projects to use language like java unconventionally excites me
After a few updates the UI is probably going to be a total mess

After a few messes the UI teams will figure out that you have to advertise and implement features in a way that doesn't interfere with user's habit. E.g. has a start screen where you may pin "last 5 workout programs", "recents...", any menu item, and a button to access other functions at top right.
Test positivity rates are through the roof, and wastewater sampling also indicates a huge surge of infections. I don't think this can be that easily dismissed as an artifact of testing.

Even if it works, it's like filtering the ocean.

Even it will capture CO2 (with a high energy cost, assuming it's nuclear energy), CO2 is diluted in the atmosphere.

They would like to plug this to coal and gas plants, but that will not be enough.

Humanity is too dependent on technology and carbon energy, today it's unthinkable, taboo and controversial to tell everyone to reduce their standard of living, to live a sober life, to work less, to eat less meat, because it's just too complicated to separate ecology from social inequality.

Instead, you have big oil trying to save itself by any means they can find, including trying things that don't make sense with physics.

Pronunciation changes even when crossing accents, let alone languages. The prescriptivists will say there is a correct pronunciation, and any deviation from it is wrong. But the descriptivists will ask why it matters if we all understand that we’re referring to the same thing. It’s an age-old debate.
