Salient caveats for those who don’t have patience to read past the headline (especially policymakers):

> Cash might not help everyone experiencing homelessness. The pilot group was very small, and recipients were carefully selected based on factors such as how much the money was likely to help them, how engaged they were with their “buddy,” and whether they were currently facing challenges like addiction. But the study suggests that even a small amount of money can make a meaningful difference for some people.
Maps showing the flow of people into North America fill me with a swell of emotion deep in my heart. I’m Aleut, from Alaska, and it is very humbling to think of the thousands of years of continuous living here. To think of how related we are to other Native groups, and perhaps not so related the further off it goes, is endlessly fascinating to me. There is a sense of connectedness hard to quantify.
First, stop comparing yourself to others. This doesn't help anything, only compare yourself to yourself from yesterday or last week. The only comparison that matters is one with you from the past.

Second, find what you really want to be doing with your time. Remember, money isn't everything.
Not only anime. As a kid American shows and movies were full on “ninjas” and “karate”. My favorite cartoon was TMNT and one my favorite movies was Karate kid.
The 5G twist is pure BS. These cars (Circa 2016) have no modem that connects directly to the head-unit, and if they do are a separate module that's 3G only.

My theory is that the radio station sent some unicode characters on their RDS feed that crashes the system, it probably cached it (These head-units run on Linux, and is well known in some hacker circles), so now it's in some kind of loop.
It won't be the first time that RDS feeds with some unusual combinations crash the head-units.
If Mazda has a new firmware, these can be upgraded via the USB ports by booting into a recovery mode.
That's a cool story. However, I would say there are good reasons to test whether I can actually implement something. Mostly it tells the hiring manager about my quality of my work rather than a simple yes (s)he can do or no (s)he can't.

However, as with anything else, there are exceptions one should be cognizant of.

Ask HN: Long-Term Effects of VR?
Conducting a long-term study on effects of VR is challenging if not outright impossible with accuracy.

Yet - multiple historical instances of things that have generated mass adoption (E.g. cigarettes, lead, uranium glassware) were later discovered to have health consequences

Could this be a risk with VR?
It's a bit strange that they still don't have a non-Java version for Apple Silicon Macs - it should not be significantly difficult to adapt their iPad version, it may even "just work" in windowed mode.

I don’t get it. How does you using a black chain stop a government doing things in secret? I mean, all they have to do is not use the blockchain. And anyway, isn’t the point of the blockchain supposed to be that it’s anonymous? Confused.

Heh, as a middle time between the dial-up days and the WireGuard days, I used to use PPP as a poor-man's VPN. SSH to a host inside the work network and run pppd on both sides. Tada, suddenly my home computer is on the work network, NATted from the jump box.
When I had a 2016 Mazda, I regularly downloaded their firmware, which at some point came fairly frequently.
Like other manufacturers, their dealer portal posts firmware upgrades along with other service bulletins, and occasionally the firmware leaks out from some of their dealers, so enthusiast would go on upgrade it by themselves.

I think it was precisely your blog post (?) which I read that detailed that it was pre 5.666!

Is the problem that now that the source is out you can no longer claim plausible deniability you never saw it or what exact complications does it cause by just being leaked?

And one other (WinAmp related question) - I still use 5.666, but it has the weird issue that it's the one program that Windows can't get to close itself when shutting down ... why would that be? Is that fixed in WACUP?
My username is just a coincidence. I create a new account every few months and I've never used this one to discuss this topic.

The only points I am trying to get across are

(1) This lab was working with a precursor to the virus we know and it's perfectly reasonable to ask where the sample came from

(2) The fact that they deleted this sequence and also RATG13 and others leads one to believe that these aren't innocent mistakes and are worth investigating further to determine why they are going to such lengths to destroy data.
I have exactly the opposite idea. I hate Mac and WSL2 is perfect for development. I've never seen an ad in windows 10 as well.
> are probably having a big influence in this problem

Or maybe they're orthogonal. Or maybe the influence is going in the other direction. Or maybe it's a feedback loop (most likely). Or maybe they're both caused by overlapping upstream causes.

In any case, a return to a society that acknowledges and appreciates gender and sexual minorities is probably a positive. (A return, in that at least one ancient civilization had a place for these folks, namely the Sumerians).
I am in agreement with you that Care/Harm is probably not the moral axis most at play in the US.

Liberty/Oppression is the primary axis (see gun control debates, state rights, mask mandates, neo-liberalism, etc, etc) with Fairness/Cheating (billionaires paying more tax, public healthcare for all vs excessive hospital bills, etc, etc) corresponding as the secondary political axis. Nearly all arguments portrayed in media, government, etc, orbit along one or both of these dimensions.
What I'd like to know is what design or material changes were required to reach this benchmark? The picture of the fusion chamber is still the same torus donut shape as the ones from the 90s.
If you grew up in poverty & violence & a terrible environment, then your brain is going to work in different ways than someone who wasn't raised in that env. That's the bad news. The good news is that there are professional counselors (who hopefully as a software developer, you/your insurance can afford) who have dedicated themselves to helping clients understand the sub-optimal ways brains can operate, and work with those clients to figure out better ways of thinking and living.

I started seeing one about 4 months ago, as I also grew up in a fairly physically & emotionally violent environment and finally realized I cannot undo the effects of that upbringing without serious professional help. The info & wisdom my counselor has given me has been like turning on a light bulb in a room that illuminates new colors I didn't even know were there. I'm not sure how else to describe it. I have a much better ability to examine the state of my mind and emotions and body and motivations, in a way I didn't even know was possible 4 months ago. I cannot recommend enough seeing one. You don't know what you don't know.

I hope you find peace & purpose, whatever you end up doing!
This is one thing that really appeals to me about postgres - it may not be the best at everything, but it can do it all. Love seeing people actually load testing it before adding another stateful service.
> Nobody said WMD.

This was in fact a not uncommon claim. It wouldn’t have gotten anywhere near the backlash if concerns about an accidental leak been expressed as questions rather than with certainty, by people who weren’t also making racist statements or otherwise acting in bad faith about the pandemic (you could easily find Republicans saying it was both mostly harmless and a Chinese attack just sentences apart).
Edrys: The open remote teaching platform (Deno-based)
Hi HN, this is a project we've been working on for a while in coordination with a few universities. The aim is to bring a culture of collaboration to educational software by making a developer-friendly platform that can still be used by non-technical teachers. We've adopted Deno which has been a perfect fit so far.

Feel free to check us out on GitHub:

Think OP is saying that the Java launcher for MS accounts is not published for architectures such as ARM in the Raspberry Pi. So the only way to launch on such devices is to use the legacy Mojang launcher, which will cease working when Mojang accounts are no longer supported.
Ah – I err on the other side (keeping things usable for touch input). Two sides to a coin! That is a useful thing to keep in mind when writing this though, good point.

I view this not as "unreliable for detecting touch screen laptops" but reliably detecting touch screens.

These are all great points, however the issue with PFCs is that they are extremely nonreactive. Things like TNT, gasoline, and diesel are the exact opposite. Those compounds are reactive and quite easy to break apart.

Even so, there must be some sort of either precaution or processing steps that can be taken to minimize PFC concentration, although I don't quite know what they might be.
Forgive me if this sounds insensitive but I’m curious for some feedback:

Were people uglier back then? Is it my own biases based on clothing and hair style? Is it because of the type of film? Better dental today? More opportunity to adjust one’s appearance with disposable income today?

But most curiously: does anyone else have this passing thought when looking at older photos? Or am I just betraying my own shallow vanity?
In my part of USA the typical voltage between the two sides of a breaker box is 240V. It actually moves around a bit below that value, but doesn't seem to ever exceed 240V. I think most consumer devices have the circuitry necessary to survive such variation, but I have seen some (expensive) professional equipment fried in an instant...
So my family is very liberal. When I mentioned to my trans-brother that my goal in life is to be a well-earning father who is able to provide for my family, I got called 'priviledged', told I have an outdated mindset, and demeaned as a wannabe patriarch. I didn't say anything about limiting the opportunities of my wife, but bigoted sentiments were read into my desire to support a family. This despite the fact that my father was very much the supportive and calm leader, and we turned out very well as a result.

It seems to me that in one generation we have gone from fatherhood and motherhood being high-status to being low-status. But maybe that is part of this very liberal bubble.

I think yakuza, katana, and bushido have less to do with weeb/anime culture than video games and movies.

I bet yakuza, katana, and bushido could all be picked up watching Kill Bill & playing some Call of Duty set in WW2.
> For a practical reactor we need Q around 30

Did we figure out how we could harness the energy released? It appears to me that all current research are about maximizing Q without really looking at how the energy will be converted into usable form.
The side effect of this is that many people won't set up the Wi-Fi, so OTA would be reliant on LTE releases, if the car has one.
In the examples I gave, the individual had found the solutions by themselves.
A lot of data I provide to services is exposed to other individuals so that the service can function. They doesn't mean that data belongs to those people or that they can feely use that data elsewhere.

Allowing unfettered scraping and repurposing of data would have a chilling effect on all types of services. For example I wouldn't necessarily want a bot to scrape my comment history on HN, doxx me, and share my identity and comments with others.
I’d love to hear more about this move away from Nomad.

We haven’t had too good a time with nomad, but not sure if it’s just our limited understanding. It doesn’t help that there are very few people out there that know it.
He absolutely is, "but women have it worse", is not implied anywhere in the comment at the start of this thread. It's a claim GP invented. See how a fairly similar argument can be raised respectfully and without defensiveness in the sibling thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30278864.

>Electric cooktops take a lot of time to heat up and cool down

They aren't talking about induction cooktops...they are talking about traditional electric cooktops that use resistance. Induction cooktops are not gradual at all.

You need to understand this article is separating into three different categories.

Google Fi is blocking frequent travelers and expats
I received an email from Google Fi this week. Google claims that I have used too much international data roaming (I typically use around 1gb per month) and have not used the service in the US enough, according to the latest terms & conditions update. I have read through the latest terms & conditions, the acceptable use policy, etc. - and there is nothing specifically stated about this. So, if you are also a Google Fi subscriber and not in the US 100% of the time - be aware, and you may want to consider seeking alternatives soon.

Given how Google tends to kill products/services on a whim, I guess I should have expected something like this at some point. For some reason, as a 5+ year paying customer, owner of multiple generations of Google(Pixel) phones, etc., I didn't expect to be blocked with only a 30 day notice. The lack of transparency, proactive communication, and overall terrible customer experience is making me think hard about subscribing to anything from Google again after this.
> government supported research expanded it to oil and gas applications.

The Government gets involved in a lot of things, but it doesn't mean its contribution is essential. For a recent example, the NIH is claiming the Moderna vaccine is due to their contribution, and sure, you'll be able to find one or a few grants here or there of a few hundred thousand dollars, but the massive investments of tens of millions of dollars were done by Moderna itself.

As for fracking, the father of fracking is considered to be George P. Mitchell [1].

Let's split out your "purpose" vs "role" statements more precisely.

You say the purpose of a man's life is meaning and the search for it. Do you use "man" to mean both men and women there, or are you simply ignoring women?

You say historically the role of being a provider provided (ahem) that meaning to men. You say the role of being a child-bearer and nurturer was forced on women and don't comment on what this meant re: purpose or meaning there.

So I have a lot of questions I don't see answered in your claims:

1) What is stopping men today from providing? I'm surrounded by male coworkers who (in)famously make more than many women, including most of their own spouses. Some of those partners are not employed, even. So clearly this is not a universal, but specific to a subset of men.

2) Are those men who are not doing "traditional providing" being provided for or are they simply solo? Being a bachelor is of course not new; living off your parents is also not new, but maybe more common today (?), being provided for by a woman would be relatively newer.

3) What is preventing men who are not providers from finding other meaning while being provided for?

4) If we want to go back in time, wouldn't the answer just be "man the fuck up and get over it"?

I'm pretty sure "modern liberalism" acknowledges that there is a problem (at the extreme level, incels who go on mass shootings are obviously seen as a problem), I think your diagnosis is just in a minority.

What data point supports your claims that society has broken men versus something like "the problem is that today many men have adjusted poorly to lessened dependence on them, and increased competition with them, and this is made worse by self-reinforcing downward-spiral bubbles like the "incel" wing of the internet." That the societal failing is actually "toxic masculinity," etc, which gives boys ridiculous expectations and standards to meet in order to feel successful. Not everyone can excel! Only 5% of people will be in the top 5% by definition! Pushing boys towards achievement and material success if doomed to failure.

That's not even getting into e.g. how suicide/opiod addiction/etc are hardly restricted to un-or-underemployed men who aren't in traditional gender roles!

Or how a major complaint of young women today in the dating world is "young men are fuckboys who have no interest in a long term thing" which is quite the opposite observed behavior from "trying to be a provider"...
At first glance I thought the balls were in some way fashioned together. Turns out its just friction! So cool.
I think this is the relevant line of inquiry.

>We know what viruses the lab was working with, and SARS-CoV-2 wasn't one of them.

Do we really know what was being worked with at the time of outbreak?

Plenty of published literature exists for the years leading up to the outbreak.
It shows that they were working with viruses with all of the component parts of CoV-19. Their published research also shows that they were genetically combing these viruses so that they can cross species barriers and testing their ability to infect and spread in living models.

There were publications as recent as October 2019 where they were modifying chicken corona viruses with engineered furian binding sites very similar to that of CoV-19 so that they could cross the species barrier.

The question then becomes how much data typically gets shared for projects in progress before publication. I don't know what this standard practice is here.

The most informative post I have seen on the topic was shared back in April 2020 here on HN [1]

As Tyler Cowen always responds to headlines like this: "If it’s true, why isn’t the price of oil down?"
Your questions don't matter as well, I couldn't care less about those. The only real questions that matter are those that matter to you (the applicant).

E.g. I always ask about working hours, their flexibility and make sure the counterparty understands well I don't crunch or overtime unless on rarest occasions. Because those are the things that matter to me.
I found it interesting that, in some cultures, killing someone was not against the law of the land.

My understanding is that if you killed someone in ancient Rome, for instance, it was the duty of those nearest the dispute to either avenge the cowardly deed or acknowledge that the dead person had it coming.

The world is a brutal place sometimes.
ProtonMail allows you to make an account without another email address or a phone number (or at least, they did last time I checked).

If you own your own domain and pay for web hosting, many hosts also provide e-mail as a free add-on.
A 12 word mnemonic phrase is worlds easier to use than that. You will download an OCR program, send the photo from your phone to the computer, and run OCR on it? Or you will upload your cold key onto google drive?

I like it too but I feel like they overdo it just a tad.
No one is putting their mac in their pocket and going everywhere with it. People use their device in different way. And people behaviors are a big part in security models.
Target the people who use Wordpress for marketing, but otherwise have an app. They might pay $5 for this, especially if they are separate business silos. As long as it is super simple to use, this could be a decent non-technical solution to a technical problem.

The challenge is once someone technical is called in, they will realize that this is trivial, so making it possible for non-technicals to easily use (even if just telling them where to paste the code) is essential.

But yes, I have certainly had this annoyance in the past.
> Given the data needed to influence public opinion and voting

Actually there's no need to influence "voting".
This is interesting, but I could do without the conspiracy theory: "But back then the desire to show the places and faces of America in the mire was controlled to fit a message."

Which is utter nonsense. They were blackholed simply because he felt they weren't good photos. Plenty of very similar photos were published.

There was zero "message control" here.

Here is a direct link to the photos: https://www.loc.gov/pictures/search/?q=%22hole+punch%22&co=f... without the false conspiracy theory commentary.

If you browse the photos you'll see most are simply poor, or duplicate photos, and if you click through you'll find links to similar photos that were published.

@dang if you see this, could you change the url to the loc.gov link and the title to "The Black Hole Photographs: Unpublished Images from America’s Great Depression"
If you look at the war documentary "They shall not grow old" you may come to the same conclusion. A good portion of people in that era were malnourished. If I recall correctly, the documentary mentions the army had to do a fair bit to get recruits into shape (by feeding them well and putting them through training).

Lack of dental and fluoridated water may be another factor. I suspect back then it was also more common to smoke.
