> I'm convinced human beings are naturally designed to operate at 120% for 6-12 week long periods. \

The only thing worth working 120% for is raising your newborn child. Or maybe making a civilization-altering breakthrough in the natural sciences, like Fusion energy.

Everything is simply 'meh' in comparison and not worth sacrificing your health for. And I say this as a person who doesn't even particularly like or want kids.
I did something like this to learn the times table in grade school. What the school wanted us to do seemed ridiculous and extra boring, and I figured that if I just kept a visible table handy while doing the multiplication exercises, it'd go into memory along the way "for free". This worked.

Maybe it might not work well for others, though you'd expect there's some learning method better than how they did it in my day, on both effectiveness and fun. (I forget exactly how we were supposed to do it.)
I hope they penalize websites with heavy tracking or advertising. We might get back to a sane web if this takes off.

They can grow their market by offering 10 free searches a day, and I think that would be enough to entice a lot of folks to switch.

Offer a paid API, and I'd bet they'd have a real growth story.

I personally think we should make it state/federal law that the 'store' fee be printed at the time of purchase.

So when the person clicks the buy button on the app they get a invoice like

Software subscription: 66.66
Apple hostage fee: 33.33

Total: $100
3.5-4% is more than Apple charges (3%)

The 27% is not for payment processing, but for the platform. You'll be paying 30% on almost any platform. It has been like this for ages, and is even higher in different industries.. Any publishing deal, book, music, movies, games.. But look at your average retailer. They want a markup. And their distributor wants a markup..

There's a reason why Elon Musk wants to do the complete vertical for spacex...
It's even worse than that. The Office at least had people do their jobs and keep their heads down, cooperate to get things done, ride out the management bullshit.

Amazon management practices will breed sociopathy at the root worker level.

I agree that is kind of the average-stage evolution of an enterprisey company. Amazon is worse.
How is pinterest not just banned unless you do site:pintrest or whatever.

If you are not logged into some of these sites you can't actually get to stuff either. Annoying.
This us a faulty analogy. In the case of the atmosphere we all share it and it blows around all over the world. In the case of domestic water distribution systems, the water system that supplies your garden hose and the one that supplies orchards and fields are completely distinct, unconnected, and not interchangeable. If your local California water utility is running low on water there is nothing that an almond grower in Fresno County can do for you.
This has been the case for a long time on mobile. 1.5 vertical screens of ads is not uncommon.
I just can’t bring myself to get worked up about it - I’ve done a lot of Rails, and I’ve done a lot of pure Ruby. You quite quickly learn which bits come from ActiveSupport when you step outside Rails because… it doesn’t work. It’s not going to trip you up in 8 month’s time after shipping your code, you’re just going to get an exception when you first try to run it, and then either implement it the pure way or add a dependency on ActiveSupport.
Not much info out there but this is a starting point:

"Technical Analysis of Pegasus Spyware"
https://info.lookout.com/rs/051-ESQ-475/images/lookout-pegas...

Another starting point is to start at LinkedIn, see who is working at Apple and mine for words iOS Team. They go back in their past job history.

As incredible as it might look to you, due to hubris, many do not remove their past work and project history. Could be another starting point, so as to investigate how come so many zero days seem to come to the same team ;-)
I think what you’re describing above is the qualified ”Strictly Conforming POSIX“.

We aren't fully there yet, some of them like Burroughs, were already using quite safe systems programming languages.

ESPOL/NEWP were most likely the first ones to have unsafe blocks, as I think JOVIAL lacked them.
if you did not have full conscious awareness when regaining first sensations, then what was it that remembers this experience? I'm saying that there was full consciousness already present as you remember everything.
It was never about the games for Google. It was about gathering more data points in their customers. What kinds of games do your like? How long do you play them for? and so on so that they can advertise better.

You can literally just scroll down and see it.
Yes. I have seen it a lot. More and more as the days go on. Google search results are no better than any of the other search engines and even worse for people not in tech they do not even know they are ads.

Just dark patterns. Sad it used to be a good search engine.
Please don't attack services in general. There's nothing wrong with selling your OWN services.

Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade are examples of good services where Apple are commissioning and paying content producers. The services are good value, good quality and have competition on a level playing field (e.g. Netflix directly compete against both and don't have to pay a commission to Apple despite both their games and video services appearing on the App Store).

Other services from Apple like cloud storage, Apple News and Apple Music are more debatable value but they have competition so if you don't like them, use something else.

The App Store is different because you don't have an alternative. It is a parasitic system where where 70% of revenue (not a guess, that's the real number according to emails in the Epic lawsuit) comes from loot box grifting in games and there's literally no alternative to Apple's 30% tax. It is a poison chalice from top to bottom.

It comes down to the monopoly.
Yes, as the trial size increases, i think the probability of a patient dying due to the challenge approaches 1.

With regards to trials and deaths, I used to work in gene therapy and the entire field more or less stopped for 20 years when a single patient (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesse_Gelsinger) died in a trial. However, in most large trials, there will always be a few deaths that woudln't have occurred without the treatment (or challenge).

Chiming in here from the Netherlands at 12 in the night. My guess would be most people check HN during business hours and on weekdays. Based on that guess, my next guess would be that Europe is underrepresented in this poll :-)
> Hacker News really is hostile to the LGBTQ community.

I never noticed that. Keep in mind that HN is not a uniform mass, it's full of people with wildy different opinions. Yes, there are probably some homophobic comments, but they are a tiny minority.

> seeing people here equate being gay to a mental disorder

I would expect such a comment to get downvoted into oblivion and/or called out by other users.
Someone should actually post it there and then post the question here...
There's pretty much no way to do that in interdisciplinary publications. In those cases the main reason you have the other people on board is because you don't understand their field well enough.

And there are plenty of cases where you won't notice anything is off unless you actually examine the raw data in detail, which isn't really realistic as it's an enormous amount of effort and duplicated work. There are certainly cases where co-authors should notice that something is off about the data. But there are plenty of situations where there is no reason at all to suspect a problem with the data, and where there is no way to know that someone is simply providing false data.
My personal train of thought is this: 1) We know consciousness exists (as far as evidence goes it has more than anything else since it is the conduit to everything else) and 2) We know it is composed, in some way and to some degree, of information.

Information might be a small piece, and it might be the thing itself, but it's the only tangible avenue we have to pursue, so I don't think it's a matter of them answering or discussing a different question, I think it's them framing the same question with slightly different assumptions.
> However, I didn’t see any talking points in your list that could not be addressed by building solutions to improve UX.

These things are problem with the protocol specification. I'm curious to know how you can solve things like without reducing the value proposition of Bitcoin being trustless and permissionless and Lightning being a fast settlement layer for daily transactions.

- Removing the pain of settling twice on-chain with an unpredictable cost. The best I can think of is to create some fund which amortizes the channel handling cost across all users. Which means you're sacrificing permissionlessness to whatever is doing the amortization of fees.)

- Fixing routing and the convergence of the network toward a hub-and-spoke shape. (This is bad because Bitcoin is suppose to be trustless/permissionless...if you need to trust a hub node, then you're getting all of the negatives and none of the positives.)

- Fixing the dust attack that HTLCs enables. (Context for others: HTLCs are a critical piece of the Lightning network protocol and is what enables channels to be created/destroyed at all.)

I understand the point you're trying to make but I disagree with your analogy. Linux is not being advertised to the masses as safe and easy to use like LN is.
I generally prefer written articles as well, but this is for camera reviews. The video format, when executed well, is actually a great fit for this. I learn more from watching a YouTuber handle a camera and operate it than I would from someone describing it in text. Video conveys an extra dimension that is lost in text for camera reviews.

The YouTuber he’s attacking (for unknown reasons) also does microphone reviews and other things related to video production. Video really is a good format for these.
I feel like using search engines has become a "jargon arms race" where you have to be smart enough to figure out the right combination of synonyms for what you want, that advertisers, seo spammers, and regulators haven't figured out how to stimey yet. Jargon is almost like a different language at this point, where if you know how to speak in esoteric jargon you have unfettered access to information, and if you don't, then information rapidly approaches unobtainable.
The root issue is that many people want to become scientists but other people are only willing to fund far fewer scientists.

When the supply of scientists far exceeds the demand, there must be a way to decide who gets jobs and funding. Some people favor objective measurements, because they are less prone to corruption and nepotism than subjective ones. But when you have objective measurements, people will try to game them, and some will use dishonest means.
Then came the internet echo chambers and that authority shifted.

When I ran a torrent site I had a nuisance hacker working for a competitor who would regularly try to take down my site and leak all the content everywhere. I would talk to him on IRC to try and get info from him to figure out who he was. Claimed he was a 24-year-old Russian living in London. Made lots of claims about the cars he drove and the women he used.

One day I'm in my home office and he says "watch this" on IRC and my wife's phone started to ring in the living room. She picked it up and someone started screaming down the phone at her. She was bemused and wondered what it was. I never told her.

I immediately put a €15,000 bounty on the guy's info. Three weeks later some guys on my site found him. He was German, 15 years old, working at a video store. They tapped me in and phoned first his boss and then his mother to tell them what a naughty boy he was. He never bothered me again after that.
The question in the article title sounds to me like:

> Why are people from the USA bad at navigating the New York subway?

And you're right to point out:

> People from New York aren't.

If people are surprised by the idea that many mathematicians are bad at arithmetic, then I'm guessing they also think that arithmetic is taught first because it's fundamentally foundational, rather than something to do with Diophantus having lived before Erdős.
I'm on a 15" macbook pro and also only see ads below the fold. Is it difficult to imagine that most users around the planet aren't working with 27" monitors or whatever size it is you have?
Yeah, SPA approach would separate the frontend and backend conceptually to different microservices.

Frontend is served separately off CDNs, backend isn't involved with it. When frontend team decides on a different framework/approach, they can switch, and the frontend just consumes the backend API.

Backend focuses on building an API, doesn't have to deal with templates etc.
The other server side piece doesn't necessarily have to be Node, it can be whatever the backend team wants it to be, Rails is also fine. All it has to do is spit out JSON.
Translation:
Everyone ask for a large raise and refuse to work until the Chief Executive realizes he ain't worth squat without everyone below him.

Honestly, it amazes me the nerve of people like that.
If I recall correctly, some of the Chromebook models had 3:2 screens so you could get "more web on the screen".
> I watch them work, and it doesn't take that long or seem so difficult. Someone is making pots of money off of it.

One could say the same about software development work. Perhaps even rightfully so.
It would be nice if the cost of an MRI was so low you would typically get a cheap one as part of your yearly physical and if anything popped up they could do it again in an expensive, high powered one to verify.
Smart lightbulbs are crappy, since If you turn them off using a light switch, you can't turn them back on via Wi-Fi. I've installed smart relays (Sonoff mini) behind light switches, which means I can control them localy and remotely at the same time.

That being said, anything that can be flashed using tuya-convert will be good. But beware, because not all Tuya lightbulbs hava an ESP chip inside and they have patched the exploit tuya-convert uses in newer firmwares. So check your model on google.
When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure
I suspect you misunderstood what folks are up in arms about. No one is claiming that Google is serving an entire page worth of ads. They're angered that the entire above the fold section, typically on a laptop, is entirely ads.

It is nice how passionate you are, though.

Also, appropriately, your screenshot of DDG does not showcase all ads.
Because it is baked into the class itself. Ruby is global variables "fiesta", because all classes and modules (and functions that begin with first uppercase letter) and became global once loaded.

Because of that, you can not have 2 parallel versions on the same lib, in the sane app, not possible. You load classes once, and they are accessible everywhere, magic! No need for loader headers as in JS, Python, Java, Go, ...

That said, ruby devs like to have "sane" extensions like to_json. People proffer to write "@object.to_h.to_json" instead of "JSON.parse(@object.to_h)" and not to think about loading json lib. I agree that Rails is abusing this too much.
Yes, I just posted an image on a 13" laptop on DDG showing the entire page being ads.
That's awesome! Thank you for making this map.
As an American I do this because I always get the follow up question of where in the US. It’s just more efficient this way.
No, pretty much everything in the language is hidden from you behind methods. This hidden magic is in many cases literally baked into the language's syntax.

Iterables use functions like __len__ and __next__. The with keyword is just a thing that implicitly calls __enter__ and __exit__ on a context management object.
I didn't crop it.. that's the point.. on the native resolution of my computer, doing a search for that specific term shows 100% ads after clicking "search".. Obviously you can scroll past them, maybe that's why you're confused?

Nobody's saying the search results are only ads, they're saying that the only results that are shown to consumers without some action on their part are ads...
I don't think it's reasonable for U.S. lawmakers to have an opinion on what Apple's competition should or should not be expected to do in order to compete with Apple. As I've said previously, if Apple was able to build it's own phone and OS in order to compete with RIM, and Google built its own phone and OS to compete with Apple, there's no reason why sufficient market pressure wouldn't attract the investment required to do it again. Regulation is simply forcing the situation when this pressure doesn't seem to exist. If users cared that much, they would buy Android. They don't. And since they don't, it's completely unjust for their representatives to apply force.
I think when people are saying "the whole screen is ads", they mean the _visible_ screen. The person took a screenshot of the first visible screen and it's all ads. You can even see in the tweet that the tippy top of the next result is a non-ad, but all visible results were ads. Even one of the parent comments says "...Then when I scrolled down, there weren't Google ads, but just a bunch of SEO spam", implying that there were non-ads if you scrolled.

So I think there's just a communication breakdown here.
Looks like a pretty straightforward node/web app project, with a parcel build step. Probably just a `yarn` and `yarn build` will get you most of the way there! See what it spits out and serve that.
> Nobody's saying the search results are only ads, they're saying that the only results that are shown to consumers without some action on their part are ads...

The title of this post and point of the twitter thread is:

"For some searches literally the whole screen!! on google is now ads."
I think the more interesting point seems to be that the way you appear to wake from dreams is very different from 99.9% of people. For most people, waking from a dream is absolutely nothing like that.

If you think that there's enough demand for such a device to justify the expense in developing it, you should have no problems attracting investment to build it, don't you think?

Thanks for all the good discussion, this actually makes sense, of course, now that I think about it, I am sure they are crashing millions of particles together and doing some analytics, so based on that we know about what the size is. Sort of like how when we do analytics online we know the approximate height of say all Amazon customers who purchased jeans. OK dumb analogy but it works for me :)
I think the point is that if a large portion of Texas currently didn't have power (which seems to not be the case, but whatever), then they might be under-represented in this poll because I imagine fewer people in place without power would be browsing HN than usual.
Recognizing one's subjective experience (SE), entails knowing for certain that it exists.

That true statement is definitely not an argument in favor SE; it would be of no evidentiary value to a zombie, for example.

If and when you, naasking, have SE and recognize it: it's existence will then be impossible to doubt.
I've no experience with any other CAD tool, and, over the past 5 years, I've tried 4 times to learn FreeCAD. 3 times, I eventually gave up: the learning curve is very steep.

Now on my 4th try, it's finally starting to stick a little bit. One of the reasons is that Fusion 360 decided to reduce the functionality of their free version. Because of that many people flocked to FreeCAD and there has been an explosion of Youtube tutorials. They require a lot of time, but they do help.

Still, there are a lot of infuriating UI issues. In the Draft workbench, you have a set of amazing option to select just the right item of your design (the middle of a line, or the closest endpoint, or a point perpendicular etc) but in other workbenches, none of that exists, and you need to move your mouse with pixel precision to select a vertex instead of a line connected to it. Sometimes things also just don't work, and you need to try a bunch of workarounds to get what you want.

In the end, I settled on the following solution: I use it the way others use OpenSCad, where I construct my design in Python. Even that has its own issues (documentation is decent but not great), but at least, I can do things with pure math instead of a cranky UI.

I could, of course, just switch to OpenSCad instead, but one of then I'm fully committed to using only scripting, with no ways to do final postprocessing steps with a GUI.

For all its flaws, FreeCAD is the best you can get in open source form, and some people can do amazing things with it. Some of my issues are almost certainly due to never having used a CAD tool at all.

Once my first complex design is complete, I do want to try one of the commercial tools. Most people migrate from commerical to FreeCAD, not very many do the opposite. I'm intrigued by what it will be like.
This is not true. Ads are preslotted - so you might not get the same ads, but you will get the same number of ads.
If Safari didn’t aggressively cache favicons, websites trying to overcome Apple’s objection would immediately start trying to use window.reload() and server-side dynamically generating favicon paths, for random “I made this up before coffee” example, which would burn more battery power on Apple devices for endless page reload events. Caching aggressively makes it a non-starter to try and engineer workarounds, and comes at zero impact to users (who are either accustomed to the old favicon and don’t care about rebranding, or ignoring it).
The fine structure constant can be measured in two different ways.

One is to measure the g-factor of the electron in a Penning trap. This can be related to the fine structure constant using quantum electrodynamics (QED).

The other is to measure the recoil that an atom receives when it absorbs a photon in an atom interferometer. By combining the result with another well known constant, the fine structure constant can be calculated.

The results of both methods agree to 12 digits, which shows that the QED calculations of the electron g-factor are correct on that level.
buying stuff makes me sad 15~30% of the time.

Neither feeling is invalid.
