Yes we can. Theyre not rigorous thinkers, and theres a gap in education level between us, but about various subjects we've had normal conversations.

My take away out of all of this, is that 'social media' is far worse for us than most of us think. It amplifies the worst of the worst disproportionately.
> It is already possible to side-load on Android devices, what is their argument?

Have you tried side loading something on Android lately? As an HM user you could probably fogure it out, but imagine trying to create a competitor to Google Play. How the hell would you onboard new customers? How do you teach a grandmother how to dig through their phone’s settings app and convince her to ignore all of the scary warnings that Google throws in her face?

Google doesn’t want side loading just as much as Apple.
First step is to thoroughly understand the building process and sequence of construction as well as all the materials, fasteners, tools, etc. Then for building, start small with a chicken coop or shed with relatively low risk if the build goes south. Going from zero to house without serious supervision from experience builders is a recipe for a failed structure.

Check out Larry Haun's books as well as the Essential Craftsman Youtube channel where he films an entire house build. Also the Build Channel with Matt Risinger is great for more advance topics.
I'd rather developers have flexibility and for aggregators to have competition. Yes it is inconvenient having the EA games app, Steam, and the battle.net launcher (all of which I have installed), but people have choices. And despite what fear mongerers would have you believe, there is a lot of pressure on devs to make their games available on common stores like Steam due to convenience.

Right now we just have contractual monopolies with no other options.
Hmm - I guess I simply don't do that (nor does any of my family). Any reason you need to turn off BT constantly?
I actually assumed this is how it would work. Had absolutely no reason to believe otherwise until my son lost his coat and we needed to get his phone before anyone could find it. I could have just added his coat to my account, but then he'd get stalking alerts all day long. Arg.
> You will have six different app stores on your phone. The Apple one, the Facebook one, the Google one, the Epic one, [...]

Let me turn this on its head. If you don't want Facebook, you're free not to download it.

> You live in a world in which large predators want to devour you and small predators want to gnaw on you

Right now Apple is that large predator. They take 30% (wtf!), have to examine all deploys (nevermind your emergency), have arbitrary rules, force unwanted and unfair Apple platform integration, separate you from your customers, etc.

Eventually the web will become the app store and software distribution without shackles will be new again.

Apple's false uni-channel model has been a disease on our industry for far too long. Bits are free to send, download, and run.
> they feel that coding is just as important as reading, writing and arithmetic. That computer science should be included in every school curriculum.

It is. It shouldn't. They are two different things.
Capturing and punishing thieves has a deterring effect on other thieves. Police spending resources to get "your $200 headphones back" saves more than just the $200 headphones, since usually thieves are repeat offenders and it discourages would-be thieves from becoming thieves. If you think about it, if a police officer makes $100/h you could conceivably make the case that catching a single thief could potentially save local taxpayers who had stuff stolen the officer's full time salary for an entire week. I'd say that's worth it.

Take a look at this phone thief at a concert [1].

You can tell them all you want, but as Japan shows us, it doesn't actually matter. What matters is what you do with the supply which is why we measure.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything matches Quanta for what they do (covering cutting-edge advances in science in an accurate and accessible manner).

One of the things that really helps Quanta is that if there is an article about math, typically it is written by a mathematician (and likewise for other areas). For "softer" subjects, e.g. politics, history or law, the Atlantic is often similar in this regard, and I enjoy their articles.
>why am I evicted instead of bailed out?

probably because you, collectively speaking, kept electing people who didn't pass anti-eviction laws or strengthened tenant rights. Which most countries by the way did put in place during covid at the very least.
But is it necessary to be generative ? Moving a sprite around in a creative way could be considered a demo, I think.
Most players that use adaptive bit rate allow you to set it at a constant one instead, with the buffering and all.

I feel the same way and often click a specific rendition and then let it buffer locally.
On my PC I have a Windows Store, a Steam Store, an EA Origin store and an Epic Games store. There are problems with Windows, particularly because it is like a 25 year old OS. But I don't think the problems are due to those store.

I like being able to buy things on the Windows Store and on Origin and Steam. If you are right and this makes things worse don't you think people will just stick with the Apple store?

Full disclosure : Apple shareholder.
The statement was that they acted professionally.

I don't know if they are or are not professionals.

It is just my opinion that being nice and prompt about removing cause of the damage after they have caused damage through recklessly ignoring industry standards cannot be reason to call their entire set of actions around this particular issue as "professional".
thanks! (and will remember to debug mobile next time!) We have one European distributor signed up so will try come out across Europe as early as we can.
I like that. I've actually generated competitive [1] genetic programs for Corewar [2]. It was only 5 instructions long, but proves that in theory, given enough time, a computer program could be generated that plays Chess better.

In a constrained environment like microcontrollers, the smallness of the space of all possible programs makes it faster for finding a good one. There is one catch, though: It may fail in unexpected ways.

Interestingly enough, the only people I see saying “code is law” nowadays are people who are accusing the blockchain community of being the ones pushing that idea.

I looked at the code check. The one 25% difference is in an intermediate variable (peak beds). The two differences of 10% are 39k deaths vs 43k deaths, and 100k deaths vs 110k deaths. The other differences are less than 5%. I can see why the author of the code check would reach the conclusion he did.

I have given a possible explanation for the variation, that doesn't require buggy code, in my previous comments.

An alternative hypothesis is that it's bug driven, but very competent people (including eminent programmers like John Cormack) seem to have vouched for it on that front. I'd say this puts a high burden of proof on detractors.

The mandates are often things you don't see as a citizen, but often on government contractors (a huge part of the US economy).

The number of RFCs that are required for basic things like email, storage, security etc are essential standards primarily because USG required contractors and vendors to adhere to those standards.
improving in skill creates investment in the game, which is apparently bad according to one of the bullet points.

It wasn't. Heart disease and cancer kill far more people on an annual basis and nobody bats an eye. According to the CDC, these were the top 10 causes of death in 2020[1]:

Probably nothing is quite so abstruse as abstract mathematics, and few subjects in math are as abstruse as arithmetic geometry (the subject of this paper).
An exploit is technically always following the rules of a system. Take for example a sql injection. The system allowed a sql injection, you told the system to execute the sql code of your choice and bam you got what you wanted at the expense of the counterparty. This would still be considered illegal.

code is code, code isn't law. Even if you try to call it 'smart contracts'.
I just decided to do some quick number crunching to see how much this actually would impact me.

Not including Apple One, I spend $432 a year on subscriptions on the App Store. All of those are not available via any other means. So if I saved 30% I would be paying $302 a year... Yeah I would happily continue paying $432 to be able to easily drop something if they start a behavior I don't like and feel like I am in control of my own money.
You may want to pull this down. I've heard more than half a dozen stories about people who wrote about applying for visas whose socials and websites were checked and who were asked about things they've shared online. I'm not 100% sure but I think a Green Card can be revoked. And if you're applying for citizenship this post may not reflect favorably on you.
Where are the 6 app store apps for android. Where are the app stores for Mac and PC? I can buy games for my PC from Steam, direct, green man gaming, etc etc. I can install apps that do things Apple thinks I shouldn't. The idea that having a choice of where I buy an app is a bad thing boggles my mind just because one goes in my pocket and the other sits on a desk. This fear mongering has to stop.

Don't want to sideload? Then don't. Only buy apps from the app store on mac and pc and android and iPhone. And don't hit me with "But what if XYZ takes their app out of the app store and goes sideloading only?!" Well then don't install their app, it's that simple. If the logic is if you want to sideload get an android phone, then the same should be applied to sideloading in general. Don't want to sideload? Then don't.
South America's 'lithium fields' reveal the dark side of our electric future
Still saves power. Don’t know if anyone remembers blackle.com but people have been considering it for a long time
400A is an absurd number. I live in the northeast have a heated pool, electric water heater, and am putting in heat pumps and it all runs off a 200A. 100A is the standard hookup in my area. I have no idea what this person is doing (are they heating the pool in winter??) but those numbers are absurd. Also a propane pool heater is far cheaper then electric, converting propane to electricity is really crazy when you could just have propane heat, hot water, and pool heater.
What’s So Hard About Understanding Consciousness?
This study measures the rate of de novo (not inherited) HbS mutation, and finds it occurs at significantly greater than random chance in populations where malaria is prevalent. So there is a survivorship bias, but not just for the inheritance of the specific downstream adaptively relevant mutation, but also for some meta-process that controls the rate at which that mutation appears anew without inheritance. They're able to observe this through a new method that can measure the rate of de novo mutations in specific areas of interest in the genome, as opposed to prior methods which were constrained to measuring the rate of mutations in general across the whole genome.
> The unfortunate truth is that police have better things to spend their time on.

From what I can "better things" is mostly pulling people over (legitimately or otherwise) in order to hand out tickets to raise revenue. Catching criminals is what we're told they do, stealing from the public, making money, and protecting only the most wealthy seems to be their real job.
I sort of disagree. The best way to make people not rely on a behavior is to not have that behavior. If you want to be very, very sure that nobody relies on your service having very high availability, forcibly reduce its availability. Make sure it fails some small percentage of the time.

Similarly here, if you need to make sure nobody's depending on this thing, change its name regularly. Append a random number to the end of it and change it with each minor release or something.

Now, what you do NOT want to do is randomly pull the plug on your service or change the internals exactly once, with no notice, after a long time of stability. That's not helping people know not to rely on it; that's just hurting people who didn't read the sign. Quietly putting up a "deprecated" sign without ensuring people have time or opportunity to read it, waiting an unreasonably short time, and then breaking things is basically a Douglas Adams storyline more than a development practice.
> If you are right and this makes things worse don't you think people will just stick with the Apple store?

No, they won’t. At a bare minimum, they’ll have the Google store and the Facebook store, and they’ll probably have a dozen others, because most people don’t actually care enough to make a principled stand on these kinds of things, but their lives will be shittier because of this, in the same way that we all have LinkedIn accounts even though LinkedIn is dogshit because we all need jobs and none of us care that much, but our lives are shittier because of LinkedIn and they’ll be shittier because of this.
Everyone keeps citing this year's budget, which was imposed on Austin by the state government after the police budget was cut by 1/3rd in 2020.

Austin DID defund the police, but was forced to refund the police.
Edit: I saw someone else building a cabin with similar windows recently. They are double pane, they are just some sort of frameless unit, held together by the strip of black material around the edge. Whether they work probably comes down to how well the installer seals around the edge of the window.

And while the sliding glass doors look like they are single paned, look at the quadruple reflection. Isn't that usually caused by multiple sheets of glass in close proximity?

The external framing is also 2x6, so someone was thinking about insulation. I think it's just that after declaring victory on a well insulated house they then decided to heat the outdoors anyway by directly heating things that are out of doors.
They will not increase the supply of ships because of the lead time involved. If they could add one tomorrow, sure.. but they can’t. Bringing a ship online takes months, to years depending on how “off the plan” the design is. It’s not going to fit into their modelling or be relevant to the current global situation which from what I can tell is mainly constrained by containers not container ships. Repurposing existing container capable ships is valuable but beyond that it’s not helpful due to the rapidly increasing volatility of the available container supply. If there aren’t enough containers there’s no point adding ships that will need to be deprecated over a decade or more. Ergo… no new ships.
While it doesn't offer easy cancellation, Truebill is really nice for keeping track of subscriptions. That's always been the hardest part for me as someone with ADHD who has multiple bank accounts. The only account it doesn't work with is my Apple Card because it is still in the stone age of connectivity.
What's your point? Does that logic excuse every word with historical baggage, or not? You state every word has historical baggage; either you then disagree with the parent logic, or you agree with the parent logic, and taken together with every word having baggage means you're saying every word is okay to use regardless of the historical baggage attached to it. Which is an interesting take, certainly.
> The researchers estimate that a quantum computer with 1.9 billion qubits would be necessary to crack a Bitcoin's encryption within 10 minutes. To manage the feat within an hour, a machine with 317 million qubits would be required. However, if you had a full day to try and crack the security, a system packing just 13 million qubits would be capable of the task.

That’s gonna take some time xD
Yea, if the public trades in Solana. But they are out of $320M in ETH which is way more used then Solana.
Bitfinex isn't the party in question here. Unless Jump has their own coin they can mint out of thin air and convince people to buy for Ether, or are able to convince any of the other main tokens to mint for them, this scenario isn't even plausible.
The great gaslighting: how Covid longhaulers are still fighting for recognition
Before the coronavirus pandemic swept through New York City like a foaming white storm surge in the spring of 2020 and irrevocably displaced the trajectory of her life, Hannah Davis was an expert in artificial intelligence and machine learning. She gave talks on her projects, which included working with a computer program that generated music from literature, at Ted conferences, technology expos, even the Library of Congress...
Let's focus on the opening question, "how has the supply increased in this scenario?".
Ask HN: Server-side ad rendering prevents ad-blocker?
I run a small page that provides services to customers. The ads are not unreasonable but I notice an increasing fraction of users blocking ads. I do not want to serve users who block my ads because I lose money. Are there any solutions for inserting ads on the server-side instead so they can't be blocked easily? I can find references only for doing this in video. Failing that, recommendations tools to block users who use ad blocking so they do not take up my resources. Thank you.

Edit: Something like this but for page not video: https://admanager.google.com/home/resources/feature-brief-dynamic-ad-insertion/. There is 1 i find called Kevel, has anybody here used and can give opinions? https://www.kevel.com/
Man, you're just missing the point. It's about the look of what happens when it reaches the end of that range. It's not how much range it has.

For example, I've seen footage shot on a Red (don't remember specific body/chip) of table top food products with fun issues. Specifically, it was a chocolate shake with whipped cream on top. The sensor had issues with the white so that when the exposure was pushed, the white became magenta. The green data was not hitting at the same levels as the red and blue. To get white, the green channel needed to be pushed independantly, but it was already clipped digitally even though the R/B channels were not.

Scanning that same image from film would not have exhibited this behavior.
How many of those actually have users?

The only ones barely relevant are the preloaded OEM stores, like Samsung’s and Amazon’s, but even those pale in comparison to Google Play.

And it’s not because Google Play is better than the competition. It’s because Google has barriers in place to stop any would be competitors. Look at the epic game store for a high profile example of that.
A group of authors including Ralph Baric, the father of modern coronavirology, published a letter in Science calling for investigation of all possible origins of the pandemic, explicitly including a research accident:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abj0016

Last I checked, Baric still thought a natural origin was more likely; but the point is that he considers an unnatural origin sufficiently likely that an open investigation is required. The FBI assessed with "moderate" confidence that the pandemic had unnatural origin, while some other agencies assessed with "low" confidence that it was natural and the rest declined to judge.

We don't know how the pandemic originated. Nothing is proven in either direction, but mainstream consensus now absolutely includes the possibility that it originated from such a research accident. Your dismissal of that as "FUD and propaganda" now puts you in a position as fringe as the opposite would have been eighteen months ago. From your other comment, I guess you think I should have been censored for entertaining it back then. But given that the mainstream consensus has since changed--apparently without you realizing--do you believe that you should be censored for rejecting it now?

Unless you somehow become our dictator, you are unlikely to find that the censors' arbiter of truth always agrees with you. Specifically on this website, I believe that Paul Graham is our dictator; and from his Twitter account, I'm pretty sure he disagrees with you on this matter:

https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1396769717805780994

https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1396787092726984707

He surely can afford to moderate as strictly as he wants. But he doesn't seem too inclined to censorship, so you got to post your comment. I'm fine with that, among other reasons because it gave me the chance to explain the basis for my beliefs, and possibly change your mind (or that of someone else reading).

As to your link, I assume you're aware that the host and guests on TWiV have advocated for and performed exactly the kind of high-risk research that may have caused this pandemic? That certainly gives them special expertise that deserves attention, but to trust only them on this question is like trusting only Monsanto on herbicide safety.
In terms of entrepreneurship, I don't really think is the case. You can build your company anywhere in the world with minimum first-world standards (any of the countries you mentioned) and be successful. Will you have more capital in the US, or will it be easier to get? Yes. Will your company fail because it's not in the US? probably not.

Career-wise, meaning actually having a job and working for someone else, there's no place that compares to US compensation standards - some may even argue it's a bubble situation.
People were ordering from livestock suppliers in preparations designed to treat horse conditions, to the extent stockists started running out and started demanding people provide evidence they actually owned a horse to buy it. I mean, dog food is just meat from the same animals humans eat, but it's still a news story if people decide they'd rather eat Pedigree Chum than take nutrition advice from doctors.
Oh goody. I get to manage my own payment system. And have to worry about being tax compliant in every country and state. And deal with logins, and refunds and fraud and uptime and customer support.

Is this for a wood-construction sauna with a heater warming up rocks that you can steam water off of? That's a lot less mass to warm up, mostly air, and a lot less ongoing energy loss than a big heated pool.
Unnuanced statements are never correct or useful.
