I second the importance of subtitles. I grew up in a country where dubbing is a huge industry and everything is dubbed. I’ve also lived in another country where almost nothing is dubbed. After moving to the US and seeing many of the films I had previously only known in their dubbed version, I can no longer stand dubbing. I can tell that something is dubbed without having to look at the screen. I’d never want to not have subtitles — I’d rather not watch at all…

That being said, as I understand the article this marvel ai thing is supposed to replicate the original performance using the original voice in another language? Of course that would be fantastic a solution, but I doubt that the technology is anything near what it wants to do…
It's not surprising that merely counting calories has no effect.

The idea that all calories are the same is flawed. In fact, obesity is the result of the wrong types of foods i.e. sugars which are metabolised differently by the body than other types.

Sugar triggers the insulin response which leads to overeating and detrimental fluctuations in cognitive capacity and concentration.

What would be more beneficial than calorie counting would be dietary education.

Found a review of iCloud's custom domain: https://medium.com/empty-coffee/three-months-with-apple-iclo...

TL; DR: Seems to work BUT may have issues with SPF/DKIM etc.

Looking for anyone else on HN to chime in with their experience using iCloud custom domains.
This sounds a lot like you’ve decided personally you don’t want mail delivered to your house, not that USPS won’t deliver. USPS tries to deliver to your house and fails because you don’t have a mailbox…
This can help a lot with adoption by “lame-sensitive” users. Snapchat’s confusing and unintuitive design kept “lame” parents, teachers, managers, etc off the platform and helped maintain a kind of exclusivity.

Discord still has that. Instagram is currently losing it. Skype once had it, but has long since lost it.

A platform that figures out how to be cool and stay cool will reap many benefits.

It is. I had a subscription and used a Roku Ultra. However, I cancelled my subscription after every 4k stream buffered even on a gigabit connection. I watch 4k UHD content on every other service through the Roku without issue. So your mileage may vary.
It’s probably worth going somewhere specifically for testing giftedness so you can see if your child (on that day) is more likely gifted, highly gifted, profoundly gifted, etc. Also it can be helpful to find out if there’s other 2E (twice exceptional) things at play such as ADHD, etc.

We took our kiddo on a trip to Colorado to the Gifted Development Center which was a good helpful first step (and connected a lot of dots for us). More than happy to share experiences at matt at mindvault dot com.

> As it is, my child is coming to the conclusion that school is boring/easy and that she is smarter than her classmates. Worst of all, she's realizing that her teachers and principal don't actually care whether she learns anything.

Welcome to the “parents of gifted children” club. I agree with the previous commenter that G&T probably isn’t the right place for your kid, at least not for now, although you might not have any practical alternatives.

Let’s be real though: one need not invoke resentment-laced arguments about fairness to see that public schools just do not have the resources to properly educate (upper) outliers. Pretend you had a child whose growth curve put him on track to be a future 7-footer—you might consider investing in some private basketball coaching. Different gift, same idea.

If the parent wants to assert that they should provide proof as such. They didn’t do that and instead sited an example that is exactly something I would consider well reasoned for the police force. I also expect some level of grey area of truthiness because like I said earlier all groups are like that. I doubt parent jumps into every statement made by a group to remind us that sometimes people lie to serve their own interests.

I do not think cops are more or less corrupt than the average, but I do believe a corrupt cop has more impact than average. And because of that I do think they need higher standards and more accountability. I do not think they as a group need to be the “them” in the “us vs them” mentality.

Oh boy. Wow. There is no understating this. This really represents a big turning point in the pandemic that the BMJ would come out forcefully and take up an issue that the anti-vaxxers have been pushing. That is really good.

"Progress was made, but clearly not enough. The errors of the last pandemic are being repeated. Memories are short. Today, despite the global rollout of covid-19 vaccines and treatments, the anonymised participant level data underlying the trials for these new products remain inaccessible to doctors, researchers, and the public—and are likely to remain that way for years to come.16 This is morally indefensible for all trials, but especially for those involving major public health interventions."
His family still owns and controls massive percentage of the Australian media landscape.

From the top it becomes corporate culture and gains the veneer of not being just Murdoch’s mouthpiece, but the agenda is still firmly pointed their direction.

Can you wildcard aliases with your domain?
"OtherOS" was added to evade game console tariffs by claiming the PS3 as a computer, a similar tactic to the one used to attempt to classify the PS2 as a "digital processing unit" to avoid EU import duty.

Sony's removal of OtherOS wasn't just deceptive and an abuse of customers' trust, it was conspiracy to commit customs and tax fraud.

Also, while I bought my PS3 to learn parallel programming, I found that it wasn't that great for it. The CBE was really unintuitive, there was only framebuffer access to the GPU-RSX chipset, and with just 256MB RAM, $600 would have been better put towards a dual core CPU and any discrete GPU if you wanted a functional Linux computer.

I agree, and it's up to us consciously build trust, just as many are working hard to consciously destroy it.

One important method is to not get swept up on in the mass paranoia and reactionary politics, but to actively demonstrate and spread trust.

Another is to assess risks realistically: One crime represents very little risk. It's like crime in large cities: It is low generally, and even the rash of homicides, while terrible for the victims and their families, are very rare and unlikely to affect you (especially people reading HN). There's actually little crime for people reading this, despite the hype.

You seem to have missed the point, you mention that the mother and the child should have freedom to request a paternity test .. but in the vast majority of cases the mother knows, it's the father that does not know. In all cases the child is the mothers child, where the father can be tricked/defrauded into the most expensive cost they will ever bear for the rest of their life, on the basis of a lie.

This is very obvious, completely unaddressed in your comment, and the rest of your argument is probably in bad faith.

In the late 50s/early sixties (not sure on the timeframe,) my father was involved in experiments giving (then legal) sandoz LSD to schizophrenic people, and also experimenting with teaching them tai chi. The studies were inconclusive, with 1/3 of the patients experiencing little or no benefit, 1/3 experiencing some or great benefit, and 1/3 experiencing negative effects.

The research was eventually abandoned, however there were some positive findings teaching people with downs syndrome tai chi.
ברור
I think the question boils down to do you believe the employee is obligated to disclose the backup issue within the responsibility of the employment contract? I would say no, since the entire creation of the software was not within the responsibility of the contract, why would the documentation of the backup issue be within it?

I think the situation is analogous to the company giving the employee a big unwarranted pay raise, and then the employee lazily not doing more work, then the company firing the employee, but then arguing that at a minimum, the company has a reasonable professional courtesy to give the employee hours for their vacation days, even though it isn't specified within the contract.
Five months is not short notice, full stop. Even three months I would have a hard time thinking of any reasonable argument. The length of time you've used a service is irrelevant, the question is how much of a lift is it to switch, and nothing on Google Apps would take you anywhere near 90 days to switch out of. I pay something like $65 or $70/yr for O365 Outlook for a personal domain email, and the email is the only thing I get with that, so this is on the cheaper end to boot. I'm sure you can find custom email domain handling for less though.

> What do you think the perception will be if Google asked them to pony up $60 a year [for Gmail] with 5 months’ notice?

Realistically, I and a lot of other people would think "remind me in 4 months and ~25 days so I can put my credit card in." But it's also not a valid comparison because in Gmail you're the product via advertising. Not the case for Apps.
>>Of course you do if the currency has been backed by some other asset. You can't just declare that your crypto currency is a "stablecoin" and therefore it is backed by US dollars. There has to be something actually backing it. And that's what you have to trust.

You're misunderstanding me. By cryptocurrency, I am referring to a natively digital asset, with nothing from the real world, e.g. US dollars, backing it. ETH would be an example of a cryptocurrency.

I am distinguishing cryptocurrencies from stablecoins, which do have something from the real world backing them.

That's why I wrote:

"The cryptocurrency can't be redeemed for anything, and thus there's no one to trust for honoring the claim upon redemption."

With stablecoins, you need to trust a third party - the issuer of the stablecoin - to provide USD in the event that the stablecoin is redeemed.

With a cryptocurrency, there is no third party you need to trust to honor any pledges.

Yes, governments can ban a cryptocurrency, but that is NOT a case of a trusted third party violating its commitment to you, as in the case of a stablecoin issuer in default, so it's an entirely different category of dependence on trust in a third party.

>Getting caught means being charged federally and the statue carries a maximum penalty of 20 years.

Very few people (you plus one other) have mentioned that messing with interstate transportation is a federal crime. Which makes me think there is more to this that meets the eye.

Why have the news been focusing on local prosecutors if this is a federal matter? Why haven't federal prosecutors pressing charges?
It would be interesting to see that legal theory tested in court.
People kept making that point in SF about the sub-$900 CVS shoplifting rampage until they found out that the whole thing was run by organized large-scale crime rings. Those fine folks in charge of operations are not very likely to be suffering of much of anything, but you could argue that they are taking advantage of the homeless crisis to recruit foot soldiers for their enterprise.
> the densest population of homeless people in the country

Do you have some data showing that homeless people commit more crime? That they are committing these crimes? What are the demographics of the criminals?

For example, maybe it's organized crime, in which case the perpetrators probably aren't homeless.

It's dangerous to stereotype and blame the 'other', people who happen to be homeless. IMHO, it's just raw prejudice. That's why we need data and facts, not assumptions that people unfamiliar (homeless, people with different skin colors, people of different economic situations) are a threat.
I find it cumbersome. I have a custom domain on iCloud and it's terrible for checking the mail from web browser (which I need to do whilst at work).

Not only that. the 2FA requirement is particularly bad. You cannot use 2FA apps (such as authenticator.cc / bitwarden / 1password); the requirement is having an apple device that you have physically signed in on before to be able to allow you to log in. Every single time. Even if you save the cookies.
Thank you for sharing! I don't understand the short term use though. I know multiple people taking sleeping meds for 20-30 years and they are doing fine. They are all old but still. One of them is 91 and he has been taking the meds since his 60s.
> If you spent the same amount of money that you spend on an iPhone 13/11 on an android, it wouldn't brick.

In my experience that has not been quite true. Do you consider it fair to consider top of the line Pixels with mainstream non-Pro iPhones? I'd say they are roughly in the same price class. If so, I can tell you almost every other if not every single Nexus/Pixel generation has major and widespread issues after a year or so. iPhones usually have none of that and they have longer software update cycle.
Phew. I can't be the only person who worried there was an issue with the QT toolkit. This is something less important.
They're arguing against the (IMO ridiculous) assertion that 5 months is "short notice." Everyone here agrees an hour's notice would be far too short. Everyone here agrees a decade or five years is too long. So where is the line?

It doesn't mean anyone suggested it should be any of those lengths.
I suspect one of them I let go for subcontracting his work contacted one of my competitors. The timing seems suspect.
> baby formula/diapers (this is exceptionally sad more than anything)

At first blush, you're crushingly obviously right. What kind of society do we have where people have to steal baby formula?

It's unlikely that if your house is broken into that you have less than $950 worth of loss, because usually you'll have broken doors and windows, along with a large amount of missing stuff.

Also, you realize that in general police rarely investigated burglaries, and even in the case of serial burglaries, few are solved. Arrests are rare. It has absolutely nothing to do with lack of prosecution.

I've been a victim of burglary in the past, and when the cops came, they walked around, and took some pictures. They questioned us, because we were young and our place didn't have a lot of valuables, and they suspected us to be drug dealers. I asked them when we could expect any followup, and they literally laughed, then said "we're probably not going to bother investigating because the investigations rarely find the perpetrators. we're here so that you can file an insurance claim."

We had more quite a bit more than $1000 of stolen goods and damage, and we were poor at the time.

FHA 203k loan. 3.5% down. Find a four unit in rough shape, renovate with a contractor using the proceeds of the 203k, live in a unit for a year (required by the loan product/insurance) while renting out the other 3 units, then move on to your next building, renting out your unit when you move. After a few years, you should have at least $1 million in real estate cash flowing a few thousand dollars a month.

Your goal is to use as much leverage as possible to buy assets that will appreciate faster than inflation with low downside risk (unlikely rapid reduction in value).

You never get to the point of making $19 billion a quarter if you aren't constantly looking for ways to optimize pricing and make a little more money. And at the individual level, $60 million is $60 million. What percentage of the bottom line it is is much less relevant than what percentage of your team's top line revenue it is and how it impacts your ability to get a bonus, increase headcount, get a promotion, etc.
I'm one of those unfortunate souls who did not know about your book until now. Needless to say, I just ordered a copy, and am champing at the bit for it to arrive now. I love this kind of historical stuff. Probably the same reason I've watched all of Halt and Catch Fire twice now, and will probably watch the whole series again at some point. There's just something amazing about that era (by "that era" I'm intending to say sometime approximately in the mid-to-late 70's, through the "PC revolution" in the 80's, and some part of the "Internet revolution" of the 1990's).
I want the opposite: subtitles on everything, just not directly on the picture.

Opera houses have subtitles on a separate text-only screen (or screens embedded in seats). Why can’t I have a device like that at home?

A narrow subtitle display that sits below the TV, sort of like the Touch Bar on the previous-generation MacBooks. I’d buy that.
A person with an IQ of 140 will learn pretty much every academic subject faster than someone with an IQ of 100. It’s kind of baked into the metric. Now, of course this doesn’t mean that they will have any advantage in learning, say, how to ride a bike or dribble a basketball, but the discussion here is clearly directed at “book learning” which comprises the majority of school curriculum.
I'd argue it's more important, since the interest rate impacts future cash flow valuations, and therefore people's wealth.
Wordle (For the BBC Micro)
The old assembly-like languages (ARB_fragment_program, NV_fragment_program*, et al.) did indeed not have branches, only selection and conditional termination, because that was the extent of the capabilities of the underlying hardware. (I understand the execution on modern fragment processors can’t actually diverge within a single batch, either, so they execute both branches and select afterwards, but they are at least capable enough not to do that if the branch went the same way everywhere. But it’s been a long time since I’ve had a state-of-the-art GPU to play with.)
