Yup. AR = Awful Reality.
What you've done here is arguing in bad faith. There are reasons behind why people classify something like Grinding for Levels as a dark pattern, and you've straw-manned their argument as "I personally don't like this thing". I hope that you consider editing your comment if you're willing to recognize your premise as an informal fallacy. Please engage with others on Hacker News in good faith.
20k is grand theft which is a felony. I am surprised they did not take it more seriously.

I had 2000ish dollar bicycle stolen, the police where I live took it very serious because the value. They ended up arresting the guy. They also find dozens of other bicycles that were stolen and in various levels of being parted out from what I was told.

Also note a tracker in a bike can definitely lead to it being recovered.
You can skin it and there's plenty available.
I'll be trying this when I get a chance. I coincidentally checked the Slackware website this morning and was disappointed that the last release was 6 years ago. I thought for sure it was dead.
So what you mean is, so long as all of the truckers supporters had crypto, they could transfer that crypto to the truckers.

Could governments hypothetically not block those transfers/confiscate the wallets?

Again, speaking out of ignorance so forgive the dumb question.
An average from a bimodal distribution occludes more than it reveals. These days we all have a bit of a fetish for what appears to be data driven analysis even when it involves something like this where it makes things actively worse.
FB's value is determined by investors' expectations of future cash flows (dividends to equity holders) discounted to present value at a certain rate.

Today's price change means people expect to receive less dividends from FB in the future.

That cash flow can come from a variety of businesses within Meta, including WhatsApp.

It stands to reason that Facebook (as in the "facebook.com" component of Meta) is now regarded by these investors as being worth less than they thought before due to the fact that the company reported a decline in the number of users for the first time in its history.
Presumably "similar Apps or functions" would mean that third-party Apps could once again[0] deactivate the cellular radio, to prevent tracking by the mobile network at certain times (or locations/speeds).

> Much of the world still views homosexuality as something along the lines of incest.

Interesting that you should use the notion of "incest" as an example, as in Western Europe sex between first (and second) cousins is generally considered incest, but marriage between cousins is fairly common in the rest of the world.

Perhaps i missed it, but how many other protests in canada involve defiling grave sites, stealing food from the homeless, etc.

I can certainly agree that humans tend to demonize the sins of the other while turning a blind eye to their own side's, but is that really what is happening here? To me it seems like this protest is of a different type.
Yeah, everyone should move to Plan 9 already!
No, because I'm the one they would have been asking for the appropriate labels and they would have accepted them without question. There was a direct correlation between each switch and a board feature originally, so making up labels wouldn't have been hard. The problem was that the features interacted in a way that made it difficult to describe combinations that would deliver the desired outcome, and some combinations were flat out invalid.
Well but... I feel people get injured from glass in garbage disposals not because they feel specifically safe to stick their hand into one which is off, but because I have a feeling people generally underestimate how nasty broken glass can be. It really is surprisingly easy to get cut on glass if you haven't had to deal with it for a while, and even when trying to be extra careful you can often get cut at least a little (through gloves even).

Doubly so if you are reaching for broken glass somewhere where you can't see, that's basically negligence, but still independent of what else that place could do. I just wonder if it would really be different if it was glass in just a pipe without a garbage disposal.
I was going to recommend taking the three-day Skip Barber open wheel class, but looks like they've switched that to the Mygale Formula 4 cars with a sequential gearbox. When I did it, they were Dodge powered with the old straight-cut gears with dog rings.

I suspect you could find a Formula Dodge or Formula Ford racing series with an intro class if you just want to learn the gearbox aspects, plus then you can learn to rotate a car with the steering wheel, the gas, and the brake pedal. ;)
The coffee person can't charge proportionately because coffee delivery is oversupplied with potential vendors. Look at training that way.

You're not going to make a high rate if you're "a Python instructor", because there's quite a few of those.

You will if you're "the you Python instructor", and the customer thinks you're worth that rate, because having their people trained by you is worth the premium.

And that's where testimonials, referrals, previous track record, etc. come into play. Selling that version of you to a customer.

And granted, some of them won't ever be interested in that. They just want a Python trainer at minimum cost. But if you can afford to be choose and pass on opportunities, the higher end work is out there.
It might stand for international but the the stuff that actually matters to keep it running is American.

The European have given up even providing cargo shipments, instead providing the support module for Orion. All the core life support and power modules are US.

Simply put, what the US decides is what the European and Japan will follow along with.

The Russians make grand claims about how they can split of their part of the ISS and run their own station. But the Russians claim a lot of things. Non are actually going to happen.
How far "science" has fallen, if this is how people now define the word.
There are also pretty significant median age differences between ethnic populations and whites in the US (15 years IIRC). Unfortunately, you never see that controlled for.
> If the good has a long shelf life and it is a good use of the retailer’s capital, sure. Those are not certain conditions. Also, goods can go obsolete. Would it have been a good investment for CircuitCity to keep an extra 1000 units of Microsoft Zune in stock in case there was a pandemic?

Those are the kind of questions that markets are great at figuring out, if it wasn't illegal to sell at an actual market-clearing price.
The logisic is different now. Before a store ordered one big package with 100 items in china. Now 100 people ordere 100 packages. This does need much much more space on the transport.

This isn't quite the experience that I have had.

To confess, I am probably, on a good day, 0.8x programmer. (I have known a handful of 10x programmers. And more than a few 0.1x programmers.)

My first big project was in FORTRAN II. The way that IF statements worked was really horrific, what with three statement labels. Next up was a massive project in Sigma5 assembler with interrupt driven tasks. Once we implemented co-routines, co-operative inter-process communication was a breeze, with very few multi-thread errors. I cringe when I see folks struggling with async-await hell. Prior to go, the only language that I saw that did co-routines well was Bliss-36.

Later I did a lot of C (pre-web). When I picked up C++, I ended up with fewer crashes, as I found it easier to deal with pointers to objects.

I came to Lisp later on, and am still working with it. It is a lot better than other languages for me in several ways. First, it is quite expressive. Secondly, with a slime, it is trivial to debug using break statements, ability to instantly navigate to the source of a function, be it yours or deep in the heart of e.g. SBCL. I use Lisp exclusively now (with an embarrassing amount of bash mixed in), but not because it is 10x for me. I am likely several X more productive, but in part due to the debug ability plus the repl.

Also, sbcl is really fast, even if you don't resort to hackish tricks like was done for sbcl to intimidate other languages in the mandelbrot benchmark game. Or log4cl compared with the speed of log4j.

Where some real leverage comes in with Lisp is the ability to express things that are significantly more difficult in other languages. There are things done in Lisp that are just plain impractical in other languages.

But there are some things that the programs are just about as annoying as in any other language. Look at the code dealing with http in either of the libraries drakma or dexador. Lisp ain't much help making that awful protocol go away.

And often in larger projects, minor advantages of a language compound to end up with a 2x or better result.

So this argument about a language being a miracle productivity tool is a pretty old one. I had a boss, a PhD fellow much smarter than I claim that higher-level assembler languages would make writing an operating system trivially easy. I was a bit suspicious of that then, and am quite certain of it now.
It's nice to see that "whataboutism" can be wielded as well by left wing ideologues as right wing ones! The simple truth is that science and civic discourse has always been under attack from the right, and always will be, because right-wing views naturally gravitates toward authoritarianism.

But the left has decided to join in recently. The left invented something new, a kind of distributed authoritarianism, with MeToo and woke/cancel culture, which gives every person of a "blessed" identity the absolute power of a tyrant over anyone within earshot who is of a corresponding "cursed" identity. I speak as someone on the receiving end of this, in family court. It's a shift in power that leaves straight white liberal men abandoned and demoralized. We are dehumanized, treated to precisely those iniquities that we've fought hard against for so long. Our expressions of pain and worry are ignored and demeaned by our erstwhile friends, and if we complain about that then we are attacked further as being manipulative and dishonest. It is a perfect little trap, that can apparently only be escaped by donning a certain red trucker hat.

As another poster said, society has developed a resistance to right-wing censorship over time. But the left-wing censorship is a new innovation, and it's much harder to combat. I truly worry about my 2-year-old son growing up endlessly hearing about his toxic masculinity, his inherently oppressive identity, and always being at the mercy of other people's feelings, while his own are ignored or demeaned. The left is, if anything, more dangerous today in terms of censorship, forcing speakers to be silent, everywhere, lest they risk hurting someone's feeling, and thereby have their entire lives destroyed.
I want to opt out Adaptive Streaming entirely from all services. It's better to have buffering time (actually rarely happen) than seeing fucking 480p video.
If the worst members of a movement are also the organizers, i think its right to judge [in this particular case referring to the MOU document]
This sounds like Simpson paradox again. It happened in Israel.

People with weakened immune systems and other health issues are more likely to be vaccinated. But they're less likely to have a robust immune response to the vaccine.
Yeah, for anything political, Snopes is no longer reliable at all. They're just as likely to be wrong as the articles they're "fact-checking" are.
Correct. The first example on the Wikipedia page is a gender bias study that appears to show a bias against women in college admissions, but there was actually a bias in favor of women: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simpson%27s_paradox#UC_Berkele...
Can anyone explain like I'm a C programmer what's this thing with owners and collects in React?
react-xr?
You are not wrong either. But 2 wrongs do not make a right. Some liberals today are not much unlike the "family-values" conservatives of the past. Those people fought to censor/ban/boycott and otherwise deplatform material they found objectionable. Many people today who despised them are unfortunately becoming a lot like them. Open discourse is very important for a free society and especially research.

Banning "hate-speech" and "false information" is a very noble goal, but who is the arbiter of what is false or hate? It is not a binary decision and generally just like the justice system is designed to let some guilty people go to protect the innocent, free speech restrictions have always had the high burden of that the speech must cause immediate harm.
Neither of which is captured in the CPI, which is what most people say when they talk about “inflation”.
This trend exists because children are being tested for COVID after being admitted to the hospital for entirely unrelated issues (broken bones, etc). They're in the hospital _with_ COVID, not in the hospital _because_ of COVID.
> I think confusion comes from the use of “COVID-19” which is not a virus or infection specifically but a disease caused by sars-ncov2 infection.

It's fascinating how two years into this pandemic this is still such a huge communication issue, quite reminiscent of AIDS and HIV.

I wonder how much of that is impacting the reported numbers, in Germany it sure enough did; Hospitals were reporting every patient that tested positive as COVID-19 patient, even when they where in the hospital for a completely different reason and had no disease outbreak.
Should a teacher be allowed to present Alex Jones' beliefs to children as if they were facts? If not, then don't act like you believe teachers should be allowed to teach whatever they want with no restrictions.
Hmm, scientists have their own private cancel culture: often based on tacit assumptions about the RIGHT way to do science.

In the 1970s cultural anthropology and genetics were both hotbeds of cancel culture. And the canceling attempts were vividly reciprocal. For a recent incident: see EO Wilson’s shameful post-modern “obituary” in Scientific American, or read Napoleon Changnon on the warfare among tribes of anthropologist.
The difference is the magnitude of the problem. Angry groups of people making noise on Twitter is obviously not as urgent as lawmakers and school boards literally banning books on racism, civil rights, the Holocaust, in schools.

The authors are calling to fill in potholes on a bridge that’s about to collapse. It’s not whataboutism to point out that their priorities are out of whack.
Awesome!

I’m curious, with your fathers situation, is a full sequence from a check swab from a company like Nebula.org helpful?

Or is it the cancerous tissue itself that has to be sequenced?

Thank you for sharing your story. It was beautiful.
I don't think this is a working class thing. The unions don't seem to be supporting it and a significant portion of the truckers don't seem to be on the side of the protesters.
I agree with this.

I think we also need to examine the notion of what is "rational".

Even if we were truly rational beings (in the sense of being something like utilitarian happiness maximisers with an omniscient view and amazing central planning), we have value functions that don't solely revolve around "be alive and make more life".

My grandmother's response to coronavirus was to continue and crack on with her life as usual. Some of her friends did the same and died. Was this irrational? Her reasoning: we weren't put on this earth to sit indoors staring at the TV.

She's still out there rolling the dice every day, it's not like this is a one-and-done. What is the value of a few months of freedom to an 80-year-old?
I agree with this post. Most of the young 6-12 year olds out there aren't going to be really interested in a terminal/basic interpreter. A lot of what that audience wants to do is build mods for the games they play. Minecraft, fortnite, etc. and the like. But programming for these games is a bit more involved than regular programming obviously. I suggest getting them a computer that is capable of playing the game they like and helping them setup the environment for making mods (this is probably something young adults can do on their own but definitely not 6-12 year olds with little experience/patience). And, I think being there as the one learning it with them and understanding what is needed is going to help. I would highly suggest purchasing a book centered on minecraft modding or the like (they seem to be really popular at least the bookstore near me), as this will give you the knowledge to help your child(ren) make mods. I suggest the favorite game modding because it is something both the child and their friends will actually appreciate/use/play with.
> Civil disobedience is perfectly fine IMO as long as you exactly follow all the rules, get the proper permits, etc.

That's not civil disobedience, at all.

That's just civil obedience.
This is actually an argument for allowing multiple stores, because I already receive spam (just today as a matter of fact!). So this might be an incentive for Apple to actually enforce their guidelines to keep users on their store.
Would have been nice if nazi scientists were "cancelled" after WW2. Before as well, perhaps nazi pseudoscience and eugenics would have had less prevalence.

The law should also bring back ostracizing and outlawing. Humane but more effective and just than prison. Joined ISIS? Get outlawed. Participated in mob robbery, riot or insurrection? Will pay for your ticket out of the state or country because you are now banned.

The comfort and protections of a civilized society do not belong to those who reject civilization.

For the downshifting, you can speed things up if you spin up the input shaft by putting the gear selector in neutral with the clutch engaged (foot off it) and rev the engine to increase the speed of the input shaft, then clutch back in, and select the lower gear (now with the input shaft going faster [as is needed], the synchros have much less work to do to engage the lower gear).

I had an old Alfa Romeo that was fantastic overall but had a pretty terrible transmission, especially when cold. You do learn quickly how to get by. :)

The mistake may be to assume Solana is similar to Bitcoin.
It really is amazing, especially from a group that likes to think of themselves as scientific. Full of bias and cherry picking data.
Why is there no mention of the total cost of this?
The reason we don't have it is not due to morality, it's due to not needing to since we have other foods. And either way it's not actual human flesh, it's simply a substitute. You could make the argument that anything could be a human meat substitute, since animal meat is not much different from human meat, and as such, animal meat substitutes would also be human meat substitutes.
> Cold winter days don't represent peak consumption for the grid, there is no capacity being built specifically for cold winter days.

That might be true in California, but in Europe that's where the peak demand was before AC got popular. And it can easily go back to that with the spread of heat pumps.
I believe my method could work around middleboxes if you make an onion. Each layer of the onion could be encrypted separately. The packet going over the internet would just expose "host:node01". When it got to the host, the stack would attempt to unravel the next layer, find that it's TLS, use a cert matching "node01" to decrypt the payload. Then find the next layer, find that it's is HTTP, and so on. You could forward many layers over many networks with each node/service only decoding what it has a certificate (or authorization?) for, with only the final layer getting the full data payload.
> Would have been nice if nazi scientists were "cancelled" after WW2.

Would have been even nicer if Nazis (and not just the scientists) were “cancelled” before WWII.
Streaming providers are happy for low resolution because they can also reduce bandwidth?.
in Audacity you can use Truncate Silence, which is pretty similar. Though obviously just for audio tracks, and I find it a missed opportunity that there isn't a live preview with a slider

What percentage of a grocery store's inventory is perishable? There's plenty that has a pretty long shelf life. E.g. canned goods, paper towels, bathroom tissue, bottled goods, vacuum-sealed items, etc.
They obviously have to surrender to satellites in terms of "hiding things out in the desert", they can't hide things anywhere on the planet anymore.

But they seem to have hidden this well enough, it has to come out of a hanger at some point and everyone's obviously looking.
You have the exact literally 100% wrong opinion about ISS. Its the exact opposite of 'for science' its DIRECT result of foreign policy in the whole ISS project is inherently political and has been for 30 years.

Neither Musk nor Bezos would ever want to buy it, and almost certainty nobody else would either.

And if you think Musk or Bezos could make it more of circus then it already is, you have not been paying attention. The ISS storyline over the last couple years is closer to Tom Clancy novel then a science project.

> You're willing to risk the lives of the elderly and people with people with a less-effective immune response if you think the lives of the general population would be "better off"

And you are willing to risk lives of people living near poverty line in poor countries, because stopping the economy and printing money in 2020 increased the number of people in extreme poverty and caused many more of them to die than would die otherwise.
