That's an artifact of the politics. If a company had been tilting this in favor of the right, you would find Maddow, Lemon, and other left wing bobbleheads instead of right wing bobbleheads.

Don't let guilt by association bias your thinking in this, but give the subject the deliberation it deserves. If you value the integrity of democracy and public discourse, ignore the messengers for whom the optics are politically convenient and focus on the message.

Anecdotal data. I released a couple of things on product hunt. Popularity-wise one did will, the other went nowhere. Financially, it was completely the opposite. Boring stuff is very successful. I haven't seen a "popular" product hunt thing that I am willing to pay for in ages!!

People pay for pain meds, product hunt featured products are colorful vitamins.

Ironically, one of the areas of psychology the field has struggled the most to accept is also one with the most robust results and largest effect sizes. That area is ... stereotype accuracy.

It's exactly what it sounds like and it shows that, surprise, anecdotal stereotypes people have about other people are actually pretty accurate when tested. This is not a politically correct conclusion so the hard-left academic world struggled for a long time to accept this (and arguably still does).

"This chapter discusses stereotype accuracy as one of the largest and most replicable effects in all of social psychology. This chapter is divided into three major sections. The first, History of Obstacles to Social Psychology Accepting Its Own Data on Stereotype Accuracy, reviews some of the obstacles social psychology has faced with respect to accepting that stereotype (in)accuracy is an empirical question, and that the empirical data do not justify assumptions, definitions, or declarations that stereotypes are inaccurate. The second, The Empirical Assessment of Stereotype (In)Accuracy, summarizes what is now an impressive body of literature assessing the (in)accuracy of racial, gender, age, national, ethnic, political, and other stereotypes. The third, Stereotype (In)Accuracy: Knowns, Unknowns, and Emerging Controversies, summarizes broad and emerging patterns in that body of literature, highlighting unresolved controversies, and identifying important directions for future research.

The problem with "premium" gym equipment is that ultimately it doesn't matter. It's not similar to other hardware which allows you perform your task better, like a faster laptop, phone with larger battery, washing machine that is quieter and more energy efficient. Your muscles do not care that you are pedaling or running on a $2000 piece of equipment compared to a $500. Your heart can't even tell if you're running or cycling or whatever you're doing besides how much demand there is for blood. Marketing this similarly to Apple seems difficult.
Yea definitely seems like a branding thing. Like when I first saw the Peloton stores in the malls it looked so nice. It will definitely catch passerby's eyes see people working out like that in an airport lol.

Also, I do think it will be more commonplace in the future too. Like a SoulCycle/Peloton Room inside a Planet Fitness. I heard somewhere something like that has/is being implemented already.
> Android auto support is a trashfire

Well that's disappointing. As I pointed out in another comment, as of March 2020, Android Auto became wildly unstable in my 2015 Mazda. However, I put the blame on it having a version of Mazda AIO Tweaks from 2018, and possible version incompatibilities with the Android Auto on my phone. But... perhaps there are software issues at a deeper level here, if even the newer ones which officially support Android Auto are so unstable!

For me, Android Auto will crash frequently if using maps or Pandora, and will almost always crash instantly if I try to use both. It wasn't nearly as unstable before March 2020, though.
No, auto-immune means that your immune system attacks the body. Allergies are where your immune system flags non-self, non-harmless stuff as harmful.

And the answer is: no one knows.

It’s rare for adults with no history of food allergies as children to develop them (that’s me —- ate whatever I wanted until last year). It’s even more rare for them to develop more than one or two. So, it’s probably just the generic lottery. Some gene decided to flip on one day. Just cosmically bad luck.

That said, I do have a pet theory that a high dose of methylprednisolone corticosteroids just prior to the appearance of the allergies fucked my immune system somehow. Unfortunately there’s zero other documented cases/scientific precedent for the hypothesis, besides the dubious timing. I was on them for two weeks, and literally the day after I finished tapering off of them, I started having reactions to tons of foods. Whether that’s correlation or causation will likely never be proven.

And even still, even if I could prove it, there’s fuck all I can do about getting a normal life back, because when adults develop food allergies, they’re permanent 99.9% of the time. We don’t have a way to “teach” the immune system that it mistakenly flagged something. That’s the holy grail right there but after seeing how far off we are from that, I’ve lost a lot of faith in medical science. You would think we’d be even in the same galaxy as producing that sort of cure, but we don’t even understand why the allergies develop yet. Plus, funding for food allergy research is funneled towards children —- who, quite often, grow out of their allergies as they reach adulthood. There’s reason to believe that the mechanisms of food allergy development differ significantly between adults and children, so all that research for kids might not even apply to me. The whole thing is a giant mess and I’ve pretty much given up on the idea of ever eating like a normal person again.

The best practice IMO is to modify cars (or components of cars) that have already gone through that testing. I use first gen Jaguar suspension modules that work in most project cars and provide superb ride, steering geometry and brakes for example. I am very opposed to restricting vehicles to those the authorities have rubber stamped because there are some truly awful and dangerous mass produced cars out there.
In his hypothetical system with queues and tasks, I wonder how much resources are being wasted on the management overhead (receiving tasks from the network, scheduling functions, the cold start of the Azure function, etc) compared to a boring solution in a cron on a high-performance bare-metal machine costing a fraction of his solution?

I've worked in or adjacent to the content marketing world long enough to know that a CTA is not necessary for the post to be marketing/advertising. One of the major goals of content marketing it to establish the authority of the brand.

We don't have working fusion power, at all.

> Solar and batteries are nice but they're not yet cost effective

"Cost effective" is a judgement call, not physics. If I told you that the cost of coal-generated electricity was that your great-grandchildren would live in an impoverished and difficult world, you might not view that a particular cost-effective either, yet somehow that's the "standard" against which things are judged.
Also see https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/2021/03/urban-fish-ponds-l...

The end of that article is kind of sad because it details the reasons these very effective low-tech sewage treatment methods are being phased out, and they are some of the same systemic problems that are preventing climate action worldwide:
- low cost of fossil fuels (due to negative externalities) driving out sustainable alternatives
- global speculation on real estate / urban sprawl
- inadequate regulation of destructive activities

Everything will have to change for our civilization to continue in the face of the climate crisis, we must rethink every system our lifestyle relies upon, sewers included.

Yes, third-party direct connections from apps is useful information in some ways and I'd prefer to keep it down rather than spread things around widely.

But what people are really worried about with Facebook or TikTok or whoever building and aggregating information about them, doesn't require talking to a third party at all, and if you clamp down on these direct connections everything could just pass through the "first party" and through to whoever they wish on the server side where you can't see the connections anyway.
Just because the NYT was successful doesn't mean that model translates at all to local independent newsrooms. It doesn't even necessarily translate to other large national news papers.

The resulting problem is exactly why people complain about too many streaming services. You could easily have to juggle national, state, and various local-level subscriptions. Maybe multiples at every level. Plus any other publications specific to other hobbies or interests you might have.

Just because it works once, doesn't mean it will work for everyone.
But medical research leads to treatments which may have far better quality of life improvements than ramps. And when discovered, those treatments can be used forever, whereas ramps require constant spending for every new or renovated building.

Both are 'obviously' better than the other, depending on what you look at. Therefore the decision really should be made with more data.

i think it's even funnier, that production systems do not use their own copy/fork of such repositories.. and it QUITE shows, how we parasitize from each other.

How can you expect a foreign system (which you can clone!) to always adhere to your standards, when there's not even a formal declaration what they will do and which migration standards they will follow.

i mean i can understand that for the garage-hobby-project.. for projects like yocto which are used by companies.. well the companies should pay yocto some money, so they at least can buy storage/whatever at github or another repository place.

It's got a big range, but I bailed on the language years ago because I got sick of sifting through all the laughably-low salaries. I'd still do PHP if someone hired me for it (at non-joke rates, plus more on top for working with tech that's got the kind of trajectory and reputation PHP does) but I absolutely avoid looking at PHP jobs when searching, specifically because the floor on wages is so much lower than most languages so there are a ton of garbage jobs out there.

Certainly I'd skip right past a PHP job listing that didn't have an eye-catching salary listed prominently on it. Not having salary listed in general is annoying, but with most languages I can make a reasonable guess at where it'll be based on the company, location, and tech stack, and not be too far off. PHP, who knows. That "Senior Developer" position might turn out to only have a hiring budget of $60k (hahahaha good fucking luck with that). Or it might be $120k. Or $180k. PHP salaries are all over the place.

> Personally it always bugged me. Like what is going to happen to all those people when the checks stop coming, when the credit card stops getting paid. Some of my less privileged friends hated that group for their privileged but I honestly just felt bad for them. I don't know when, but under this current system, at some point in the future, you are going to be royally screwed.

They'll get a nice inheritance, like a $500k+ house. Then they can either sell and invest, or live there mortgage-free.

The checks really won't stop coming. But if you're not a complete moron, it would be hard to very quickly squander the wealth your parents built up. Some will, inevitably, but most will keep going. Some of them will get higher wages too.

But it's going to be a looong time before the "check stops coming".
I theory yes. In practice with kids, the iPad/laptop is much easier to get enjoyment out of and kids inevitably end up choosing it over going outside.

General artificial defrosting is finally within our grasp!
my bluetooth headphone has a physical mute button. but it's a button, not a switch, so when you press the button, it will announce to you that "mic is off" and then start to beep every 5s to keep reminding you that the mic is off, until you press the button again to unmute it.

but that only works when the device (computer) actually requests mic data. e.g. if I just connect it to listen to music, press the button will not do anything. if I'm in a google meet meeting and I muted myself in google meet, press the button will also do nothing.

but if I'm in a zoom meeting (via browser, I don't allow their apps anywhere near me), even if I have myself muted in zoom, press the button will still have the announcement, which means even if I'm "muted" on zoom, zoom still keeps requesting my mic data.

For example, follow a slightly riskier strategy than Kelly until you are either bankrupt or ahead of Kelly, then follow Kelly.

> It’s obviously blog content designed to promote your product, hosted on the company’s product website. I don’t see how the FYI is unfair.

There's so many blog posts posted here that could fall under "content marketing" umbrella if you want to be strict. I feel like there's no problem with that if the content is valuable and people like/upvote it. After all this is a platform that is doing marketing for YC where YC companies are supposed to post their content too.

That "warning" also stuck out to me as a bit unfair as I was even looking for how it hooks into ScrapingBee (as I was curious how these scraping-aaS platforms interface with custom code) and couldn't find anything.
I think it is simpler, the algorithm used repeated doubling to find the point on the elliptic curve, so by setting the highest bit to one it ensured that the operation is done to a fixed number of times no matter the input

So, even though “100,000 light years” means “it will take 100,000 years to travel this distance at the speed of light,” those traveling won’t experience it as 100,000 years, but rather a much shorter time period? How long would the travelers experience that as?

To be clear I’m not talking about “almost light speed,” I’m talking about traveling at exactly the speed of light (ignoring for a moment whether that’s possible).

> why they depict characters a certain way and not others

The writers have ideas for characters and stories, they share them with each other, they refine them, change them a lot, and eventually try to get to a point where it's a cohesive story.

That's it -- that's the process. And if you ever get to work in an animation studio, you'll see just how much the story changes from the first pitch to the final product.
Some recent discussion from 8 months ago:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27536253
There have always been rich people who flaunt their wealth and crave attention, just as there are those who are, as you say, the "millionaires next door". The difference is now, I can easily check in on the lives of the ones who crave attention anywhere in the world. We no longer have "local celebrities" like we used to, as their fame is rarely only covered by the local papers.

People always seem intrigued by the lives of the rich and famous, and tabloids have been milking that for generations. Before the internet, that was the best way to keep up to date on celebrity gossip, and it was a lucrative market (see also: MTV Cribs).

It just seems like the rich are so much worse these days because it's so easy for them to get attention. Some have even turned it into an art form, knowing how effective ragebait is at getting clicks. (Remember Logan Paul's Japanese forest video?) Combine that with the reduction in our media landscape and increase in outlets which just report on drama, many of which get reposted with only minor rewording on more general outlets, and it's much more difficult to escape this stuff today.

All this said, I would agree that the rich generally are worse today, but that's a byproduct of capital coalescing in new forms to lobby for awful laws spurring greater inequality, and it would have happened without the internet. They were also bad in the past, but unless you went out of your way, it was difficult to get a grasp on how wealth multiplies and the horrendous practices of many large corporations. The popularity contest becoming inescapable, on the other hand, is a direct result of our hyper-connected world.
