It’s even worse when you throw remote job into the mix.

I am currently traveling the world and doing programming as a freelancer at the same time. My daily salary is 3 times the monthly salary of where I am currently living.

Only small part of the worlds population lives in a western democracy(about %10). People around the globe(the %90) pump and dump all kind of currencies all the time, including USD. Don't forget that sudden value increase and decrease cuts both ways. BTC is just like USD for a lot of people, just easier to trade.

BTW I don't hold any crypto, I simply find it fascinating and I think there's some merit in its ideas and technologies.
Again, there you go quoting CDC ignoring the authorization which is for prevention and moving the goal posts quicker than QAnon. Some vaxxed people are in a constant state of Stockholm Syndrome. The evidence you speak of is unattainable at this point and VAERS is one of the only outlets which is significantly backlogged, and according to pro-vaxxers can't be trusted anymore because it doesn't fit their narrative.
>In truth, every asset and even medium of exchange can and has been manipulated for gain.

Well yeah, that was my point. That's why in many countries with rampant inflation they use USD or EUR, as mediums of exchange because they're currencies controlled by powerful economies and governments which have proven to be mostly stable throughout recent history, save for major disasters, therefore their currencies exert a large amount of trust and stability on the financial markets, vs BTC that fluctuates more extremely more quickly without any brakes from any government as the BTC you got yesterday for selling your PS4 on ebay could maybe now buy you a yacht or maybe not even a big mac.

Nearly everyone with great jobs didn’t find them, they built them. They built the network and opportunities that enabled them to make progress towards the change they want to see.
Finally, they would conduct the experiment in a series of different batches. Half the batches (randomly assigned) would be conducted by Dr. Schlitz, the other half by Dr. Wiseman. Because the two authors had very carefully standardized the setting, apparatus and procedure beforehand, “conducted by” pretty much just meant greeting the participants, giving the experimental instructions, and doing the staring.

The results? Schlitz’s trials found strong evidence of psychic powers, Wiseman’s trials found no evidence whatsoever.

Take a second to reflect on how this makes no sense. Two experimenters in the same laboratory, using the same apparatus, having no contact with the subjects except to introduce themselves and flip a few switches – and whether one or the other was there that day completely altered the result. For a good time, watch the gymnastics they have to do to in the paper to make this sound sufficiently sensical to even get published. This is the only journal article I’ve ever read where, in the part of the Discussion section where you’re supposed to propose possible reasons for your findings, both authors suggest maybe their co-author hacked into the computer and altered the results.

Well, if you would take the "psi can never exist" blinders off, Mr. Codex, then this seems to be a pointer towards "this works better if you believe it will work", and it makes perfect sense if you accept this.

Schlitz's belief that it would work resulted in it working. Wiseman's belief that it wouldn't resulted in it not working.

The whole idea behind psi is that the human mind can sense and/or effect the world in currently-inexplicable ways, and here it is doing just that. With at least ten other experiments on this idea getting similar results. But parapsychology is completely and utterly a scam in your eyes so that is not a result you will consider.
The Wikipedia article mentions this is debatable as well - there are scholars claiming that in experiments stirrups don't make a major difference, and that there is evidence of armored cavalry before stirrups were invented.
Green hydrogen is a thing. It is not economically viable now, but the costs of electrolyzers are falling.

The world in 2020 had 300 MW of electrolyzer capacity, but multiple companies (Cummins, thyssenkrupp, etc) are building factories with the capacity to build 1 GW of electrolyzers per year.

The IEA anticipates 17 GW of installed electrolyzer capacity in 2026.

Green hydrogen could be cost-competitive in a few years.
>That the government would help them enforce their exceptional control over their employees,

They didn't get that. The injunction doesn't cover the employees at all, only the new employer, who either has to make someone available so the original place can continue in operation for a bit.

So it seems like they're working at the new place with the new, higher wages and the old place is going to pay legal fees + whatever compensation to the new employer.

Financially, they've only managed to screw themselves even with this injunction. I quoted the injunction text in another thread on this story, BTW, since the headline is flat out wrong.
Citizens Against Government Waste
Author mentions four increasingly obscure C replacements (first I've heard of Odin) without mentioning that the creators of the original C and Unix went on to make Go.

Go does not have manual memory management. Despite (actually because of) that captures the spirit and design goal of the original C beautifully. It's a minimalist systems programming language.

One of the amazing things about Go is the standard library-- the thing he complains about with C. The Go standard library is incredibly readable. It's night and day from C/C++ where opening glibc/STL etc is assault on the senses.

It is a valid metric. It screens for "overachieving" types who have the will power to power through unpleasant drudgery for a pot of gold in the end. If they really want those kinds of people who am i say its 'silly'.

The home page uses a frameset! That may be why he didn't notice the museum hours article has a messed up page title:
<title>
<meta name="description" content="A better way to display museum hours">
</title>

As for the actual content, listing each day of the week instead of grouping days with the same hours is definitely an improvement. Using just a letter for the day of the week is harder for people less English-literate and translation software won't be able to do anything with it, unlike the "before" examples, especially the ones that use the full words instead of abbreviations. Museums often have a lot of international tourists visiting.

The vertical format is much harder to make accessible to screen reader users but the article doesn't have any alt attributes on the images so he's not considering that. It's also harder for Google and other tools to parse to present accurate answers when people search for "museum name hours."

Having the hours in bars with lengths that vary based on how long they're open and the bar's position being based on opening time might be a useful enhancement to displaying the opening/close hours.

The opposite is undesirable too. Balance is key. Of course the crime sucks but at least it wasn't violent. I disagree with the no-punishment philosophy for petty crimes like this but this is how democracy works. So long as people don't get hurt, willing to let proponents either let it play out and eventually show that it is better this way or find balance.

Both LA and SF have this problem. You know what else they have? A homeless problem and high cost of living. Perhaps instead of the law being harsher, people need to be ok with better zoning laws and more houses. Can't imagine most of these people have good day jobs and housing situation.

IMO, they should at least make them recover or return what they took. I also blame cops, so what if they can't lock them up. They can still stop them and get in their way. Thats what cops do, chase robbers. If they resist, then they get locked up for good. Companies should also sue the individuals, will tangle them up in court and introduce a cost to the crime. The apathy behind "we can't lock them up, so it is legal" is b.s. union pacific can also afford patrol security officers and drones. Have them literally get in the way if the looters, so even if they get shoved that's an assault charge with bodycam footage.

I don't agree but if you don't like it, vote or move.

Nice re-skin. Suggestions vs. the 500's:

· Show the rest of the page if the HN content isn't loadable.

The server doesn't seem to have any problem delivering the static assets, which are the majority of the work. Server-side rendering is awesome, but there's got to be a way to not lose the whole layout on server error?

· Load the HN content from somewhere else client-side rather than proxying through your server.

I don't have experience to share the ideal source, but I do know HN has an official API. Implementing caching may be enough to allow the server to handle it.

>how likely do you believe it is that you are better informed than a trained professional after a web search for side effects

How much "training" do you think doctors get with respect to the thousands of drugs that they may prescribe? Doctors are almost all specialists, and read the same side effects labels (or google them these days) that you do. You are not required to rely exclusively on your doctor's risk/benefit analysis for a given prescription. Furthermore, as the commenter pointed out in his example, often times doctors simply do not know what is causing a problem and will throw drugs at it - a lot of medicine is guesswork.

>Prednisone is on the WHO's list of essential medicines

Which says nothing about its side effect profile

>The fact that it can be dangerous when misused is not in any way evidence that it should never be used.

Drugs have side effects even when not misused.

>Put simply, your stance is anti-science. I hope that you will reconsider it. Whether or not you do, I hope that no one reading your comment puts any weight on your opinion, which is not grounded in fact or knowledge.

Not treating a doctor's word as gospel truth is hardly "anti-science" - on the contrary, blind faith is anti-science. And what is researching a drug's side effect profile if not grounding oneself in "fact or knowledge"?

Doctors make mistakes. Not proactively sanity checking their treatments is irresponsible when you have the same resources that they do.
I like the general idea, but it strikes me as a little poignant that so many of these sources of waste heat could just be wrapped with insulation instead? Certainly pipes and ducts - though in cases where the heat is truly waste (and is being intentionally dumped into a cooler environment, like from refrigeration or heat pumps) it does seem like converting it to electricity is a win, at least.
Thanks! I've never considered using snprintf in that way before; the default warnings are annoying, even though their intent is understandable.

Arm pain is not really a nocebo - it’s a side effect of being stabbed in the muscle, which the control group had as well.
I agree, but i would phrase it contrarily, as this much more common - work dissatisfaction is often a large component of unhappiness.
> this injunction solely prevents them from working at their new company.

Actually the headline appears to be just plain wrong, if you look at the other threads I quoted it there. It doesn't bind the employees who left at all, it asks the new employer to make one person (not necessarily even these folks) available so they can continue to operate.

This place deserves to go out of business, frankly. The ruling seems aimed only at making sure that there's someone to care for people who need medical care in the short term, not so much for the benefit of this stupid employer who shot themselves in the foot.

I joined a FAANG during the pendemic, and for the entire year I was there, I never got assigned a single task. Of course I kept myself busy trying to identify and solve problems around me, but I never had a deadline or anything associated with what I had chosen to work on. After a year I just couldn't do it anymore. A few acquaintances thought I was out of my mind and that I should continue milking that for all it's worth, but there's just something that makes me need to feel like someone else actually cares about what I do (or don't) do.
Yeah, there's also the pragmatic aspect of that issue - you can probably guess the amount effort you'll get out of someone if you're actively trying to compel them into the role.

It's probably not that great to have a fire station staffed by firemen that don't want to be firemen.
Same thing I do every night. Have dinner with my wife and kid, put 'em to bed, watch some netflix, take a shower, and go to bed by 10.
I've wondered about this trend.

Years and years ago in houston, people I knew got their cars stolen, sometimes gone, sometimes recovered without seats, wheels or similar parts.

This was so bad people would go to get used replacement parts and would sometimes be sold the stolen part back.

To the car insurance companies, this stuff was just a "cost of doing business"

For the amazon packages - people just call, report not delivered and get sent a new package.

I think some things - things "normal people" think of as serious - are just not crimes anymore.

I think property theft has become less and less of an issue as property has become plentiful and ubiquitous. Most people have so much stuff, missing stuff is just not that big a deal, especially when it can be trivially replaced.
Glad to hear that, the last time I tried running my GTX 1070 on Ubuntu the drivers weren't so great.
I, on the other hand, wish it to be as painful and frustrating to use as possible, so that developers are pushed into using (and therefore by extension maintaining and improving) the real thing. I do not wish Microsoft or their "embrace and extend" strategy well.

If Microsoft really "loved Linux" they'd release their own version of Wine. Let us use their programs on our OS, instead of vice versa! Never forget that this relationship is fundamentally adversarial.
Interest rates are so low compared to inflation that in many places the real rates for mortgages are negative. This means that just having a mortgage increases your wealth more than it decreases it (because the value of the mortgage decreases over time faster than the interest accrues).
We are in a very weird situation where the price of loans is being subsidized so heavily by central banks that you are literally better off getting a mortgage for a house than buying it with your own cash.

This has an obvious big impact on the price of houses.
It also simplifies gender theory a lot by making self-identification the end of the discussion.
It's a pretty pragmatic call: Shell has decades of experience with large scale chemistry operations, and the oil majors have been hiring all the smartest engineers in the field for decades, similar to how FAANG hovers up much of the software engineering talent by offering humongous salaries. If there is any company that has a decent chance at success for scaling up carbon capture technology, it is probably Shell or one of their main competitors.

This type of hardware-based market is much less amenable to the type of startup-driven innovation that we see in the software world, because building a large scale chemical plant is so incredibly expensive.
Some people divorce several times, so 50% of marriages ending with divorce may correspond to much smaller part of the population.

> it's already proven that Konami is a Yakuza business

It was never proven so. Honestly speaking this rumor (from the Western side) is mostly a knee-jerk reaction from Kojima's firing, which lacks substantial evidences. Yes, Konami is well known for its shitty business and toxic inside culture but that can always happen without Yakuza ties. To my knowledge there was no direct evidence demonstrated for any major gaming company being under the heavy Yakuza influence. Partly because it is so sensitive subject and partly because you are misunderstanding Yakuza ties.

You are right that Yakuza does run big corporations, but traditional Yakuza was concentrated on specific industries like construction and gambling. The 1991 Act on Organized Crimes [1] effectively destroyed the lowermost structure of Yakuza groups so they no longer possess an effective means for violence (and any remaining lower structure has been largely outsourced by now). Major groups surviving today are therefore more like investment funds, with the seed money coming from past organized crimes. They do still commit crime (and they still fight wars with rival groups a lot), but their crimes are no longer discernible from other financial crimes. Having a Yakuza tie in terms of funding is not really a surprising matter for that reason. They can't overtake existing enterprises as like they could in the last century.

> no non-shady entities would get into video game arcades because the risk to compete with organised crime isn't worth it.

Do you know that Japanese showbiz has a rather strong Yakuza influence and yet there are many companies not affiliated with Yakuza? Unlike supposed Yakuza connections to gaming companies there is a substantial body of evidences, Yoshimoto Kogyo and Burning Production to name a few (known to be affiliated with Yamaguchi-gumi and Inagawa-kai respectively), and yet their influence falls short of the entire industry.

> If someone postulated in, say, 1785, the idea that perhaps there were specific compounds that could be used to cure infection, and these could be produced en masse, would it not be analogous to respond that since nobody is commercially exploiting (at the time), they clearly do not exist?

None of the ideas included in the xkcd comic are particularly new or obscure. Despite being pigeonholed as a certain kind of bullshit, they are still ideas that a lot of people have heard about and been hearing about for a very long time—more than enough time for someone to get around to commercially exploiting if that were in fact practical. Ghostbusters came out 37 years ago, and the stuff it made fun of was familiar enough to its audience.

However, in 1785 the principles of chemical engineering were largely unknown, precluding the development of a modern-style pharmaceutical industry. It did not, however, prevent widespread use of antibiotic treatments that we now understand the mechanism for and can refine or synthesize into more effective forms.
Many people have a pretty strong safety net in their family and friends. I've been there for family members in tough spots and take a lot of comfort in knowing my immediate family would be there for me if I was in dire straights.

It is terrifying and unfortunate for those who do not have that luxury though, and strong local communities can help there. We need to do a more. But I think in all cases where I have the option I'd prefer to rely on those close to me than the government.

But it also emphasizes how much impact one can have just helping those in need directly instead of complaining about how crappy the government is.
