Yeah, I think it's a great feature of iOS. I think long term there isn't any reason Apple could not offer a way to integrate with the Settings.app, maybe in the similar way that they allow apps to build their own settings page into the Settings.app and make it a requirement of using a third-party payment processor during review.
>The benefits largely come from the trip itself, rather than the trip being a side-effect

Well, that hasn't really been scientifically established, has it? It could simply be an illusion - just because I had a transcendental experience, then I woke up the next day feeling amazing, doesn't necessarily mean the transcendental experience caused me to feel amazing. No doubt there is some truth to it, as people report all kinds of life-affirming revelations that persist when sober, but we shouldn't exclude the possibility of psilocybin as a therapeutic drug in the traditional mould.

An experiment I would like to see is whether the positive after-effects of a macrodose are still measurable if the subject is unconscious the entire time. Helpfully, this would also blind the study, although a possible confounding factor is that medically rendering someone unconscious has after-effects of its own.
It's a good article, please don't get me wrong here. I was just a little confused after doing the math. I'd imagine a very image-heavy post might be more of a bandwidth problem, but yeah, definition of "website" and all.

My only nitpick (and sorry if I missed it, skimming) was the focus on total requests - which I find kinda useless, you need to look at resolution per minute, or per seconds for peaks.
Is there a reason to not trust levels.fyi data? Or is this more focused on startups?
Reddit as a point in case. They deliberately break their mobile web version subtly to coerce users to install their app. Shudder.
Preventive measures could also lead to design changes.
If you can read that as a pro-Brexit comment, then the Brexit project succeeded beyond its instigators' wildest dreams.

It's not ambiguous at all. Everything in the UK going on right now -- everything -- has a "some of this is unclear or worse because Brexit has destroyed agreements or because proposed, nearly impossible agreements have not been struck" subplot.

Brexit has set fire to every kind of international complication.

And so here we are with a sucessful fusion lab in the UK, doing the hard work, that is a precursor to a European project that it is really not at all clear we will be able to participate in or benefit from, because crucial parts of the Brexit neo-establishment want the benefits of the agreements without acceding to the legal underpinnings of the agreements.
Please this is public research from a public University, what do you expect? That they can scale it to 1000 of people?
This is research as intended, now commercial products may be built out of this but it will take time again.
I believe that is more a choice than a given.

Is HIV real or is that just junkies killing their own immune systems with drugs?

Is Alzheimer real or is that just wicked old farts abusing younger people patience?

Is ADHD real or is that just an excuse for lazy naughty kids?

Yes these are real conditions. And by the way adults can also have ADHD. One can even develop it later after graduating.

The fact many people or entire countries deny ADHD exists or believe it can only affect kids is a horror.
Growing up, this sort of thing was speculated about with almost the same level of "sci fi" around it as things like stopping aging, instant cures for new diseases, and video phones.

Just another example of how I slowly ended up living in the future without fully realizing it. Now, where's my flying car and Rosie, my robot maid?
Certainly with the Cisco system, not worth the money they charge for the hardware! Every room has a few $25 wholesale price Ikea grade chairs, a table, and then a $100k conference phone.
I thought the purpose of the low orbits was to lower latency. To make the internet usable. Other satellite internet has much longer latency because of the distance the signals need to travel.

Are they saying the satellites start out lower and then go higher later?
Also, if the 20 year old looks back 5 years, they were a hormonal teenager, still growing physically, treated as a minor and had never experienced half the things they'd experienced now. They were a completely different person in many respects then, and if they look back 15 years it's their very first memories.

If the 50 year old looks back 5 years, their life probably wasn't all that different. If they look back 15, their kids were still at home and they had a different job title but they were fundamentally the same person, and they feel they've been that way for a very long time.
One one hand, CoronaVac and Sinopharm aren't so hot and Omicron may be more contagious than measles. On the other, the Chinese seem to be amazing at lockdowns. The article comes to the conclusion that the latter is best for China and the rest of the world, but it will be a delicate balance. For the sake of the Chinese people, I hope that if one of the Chinese mRNA candidates isn't ready soon, the government puts its fragile ego aside and imports a foreign vaccine.
This is pretty accurate. As a parent, offsetting your kids use or involvement with a particular activity tends to only work if you provide them with an equally interesting alternative.

Simply telling your kid to limit their use of a device only goes so far.
Yes.

They state "the low deployment altitude requires more capable satellites at a considerable cost to us" - the extra cost is in the extra fuel required to raise the satellite's orbit - this results in less fuel available for maintaining the satellite's orbit and thus a shorter lifetime.
I think I made a mistake asking this question here. I am appalled to read so many comments with variations of “Does it really matter whether it’s real if medications help you?”

Yes, it does to me. I don’t want to pop pills all my life. Anywho, I am logging out and won’t be engaging with anyone further.

I think the age restrictions are bullshit as well, try this userscript: https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restrictio...
I have never particularly cared. They both denote discipline, skill, and end-product focus.

I usually refer to myself as an "engineer," but "developer," in my opinion, works better with less technical folks, and is less alienating.
Another easy counterfactual is an insurance company's public financial disclosures where the payouts > collected premiums.[0] Not sure I'd argue there was a moral information hazard, but, in retrospect, it's favorable risk transfer per $ for the insured.

But the significance is that it validates design choices that have been made for an even bigger fusion reactor now being constructed in France.

They already started construction on a larger one? What if it had invalidated design choices?
Not out of a username, it's the whole context, your username and this quote:

> I have my reservations about this disorder

It's hard to read any other way than someone who wants to question if ADHD is real, don't you agree?
My experience is it is easier to go with the flow (with kids), so if the 2 year old can only adjust 1 hour of jetlag per day then you start with going to sleep at 4am and work your way down.
Book 1 was amazing, can't wait for renovations on the sequel to be done!
>If I'm being charitable, I had the advantage that I could move my belongings etc in to my parents' house if I wanted to. They're pretty poor, probably in the bottom 20% in the UK, so that's not some fantastic privilege.

Just to clarify, this suggests that your parents earn total around 16000 a year, pre-tax [0]. Perhaps your guess was accurate, and they really do - but I also find that the average person is normally wildly off in their estimates of the UK wealth distribution. A few thousands more a year would already place them in the top 50%.

Its about how selfish one is. Sure we can cram our tiny kids into plane to Japan and do that trip we planned like there is no tomorrow. But if you know a bit about child's mind you know how stressful for them that whole experience would be.

There is no difference. They made up labels that mean whatever a particular company or person wants them to mean.
If it had benefited thousands of others, does it matter in the larger view?

The naive alternative is the doctor always spending time to get to more nuanced advice, that will be more often than (every time the rock was as good) a waste of resources (time/money/opportunity cost), and which in a lot of cases would also be more harmful (iatrogenic harm) than the rock advice.

"But, why 'always'? It's enough that the doctor goes for more nuance when he sees a reason to!", you'll say.

Well, that's what doctors actually do. They are not glorified rocks, they are bimodal (rock mode vs looking deeper mode) - and they're most rock because (even if the miss a few 'loop deeper' cases) because it's way more efficient than the alternative (always or mostly non-rock, that is, digging deeper without first seeing strong indications that they should dig deeper).
What you say is correct.

I just want to add that the term "heavy metal" associated with toxicity is not really a good choice, even if it has been used for a long time.

The so called toxic "heavy metals" are not toxic because they are heavy. They are toxic because their ions have a large size (when compared with metals like magnesium or iron).

The large size of their ions makes them interfere with the functions of the ions having a similar large size and which have important uses in all living beings, i.e. calcium or potassium or ammonium or sodium. Large ionic size is also associated with good solubility, which enhances the chances of those ions to be absorbed after ingestion and enter living cells.

"Metals with large ions" is longer and more inconvenient to say than "heavy metals", but it would be much more accurate. Saying "heavy" does not make you understand why e.g. cadmium (same ionic size as calcium) is very toxic, while indium and tin, which are heavier (but which have smaller ions), have low toxicity.

Oh, that's interesting.

So in principle, I could have a contract with a supplier that says they have to pay me serious compensation if they cut me off - like, maybe the kind of money I'd have to deploy to quickly deploy and fuel a diesel generator. Under the Texas 2021 conditions, that might mean I've have to get the thing helicoptered in.

Presumably such contracts would focus the minds of the risk-takers.

Upthread, I read that the "market" in Texas consists of suppliers offering all kinds of different tarrifs, like free-after-midnight and so on. This makes it almost impossible for a consumer to compare different offerings. Some suppliers are offering apples, others oranges. We have this in the UK; successive governments have struggled to get consumers to switch suppliers. There is inertia. The variety of tarrif types means that the product doesn't behave like a commodity, because consumer energy contracts are not fungible.
And what exactly would our hypothetical descendents do there, in the middle of nowhere with no star, no planets, and no energy?
I don't think most startups really understand how their systems scale, so assume they'll scale like a social media platform (which do not scale well at all).

I attribute a lot of my performance to initially targeting very low powered hardware. I ran it on a raspberry pi cluster until the index was around 1 million documents (I think). Having those limitations early on excluded a lot of design mistakes that would have been a lot harder to correct later.

Serving search requests is a embarrassingly parallel operation that could be very easily load balanced to different instances. If so Max Schrems hectored every other search engine out of Europe, and Ursula von der Leyen, taking pity on my living room search operation, sent me a bunch of money, I'd probably be able to deal with 1000x the traffic about as fast as I'd be able to lease space in a datacenter.

I am a bit choked in terms of how big I can grow my index, though. I could probably double, maybe even a couple of times, but not too many times if I can't find serious optimizations.
Less than that, though this is more than ten years ago.

My parents are seperated, both lived in social housing at that time.

In 2022 they earn approximately 16k between them. Think minimum wage 20 hours a week, that's the ballpark.

I looked at the table of individual taxpayers income. For the relevant years, my mother's income was actually probably closer to the bottom 10% :)

There is a skew here in that you need to pay tax to be included in the table at all, though, hence 2018-19 having 1% set at 12,100 because that's the income tax threshold.

The percentage doesn't really matter though, basically what I'm saying is that like, it's useful to have a place to dump your belongings. That can be a parent, friend, whatever. It's a social capital thing more than it is a monetary thing unless you own tons of stuff and are unwilling to part with it.
As a partner of a person with a complete spinal cord injury, I appreciate these articles and the science being done by these researchers, it is truly a big and complex and worthwhile problem to solve.

For most of us, I do want to suggest being careful when and how you mention research and articles like this to people in wheelchairs. Just be aware there are lots of different reasons why someone might be in a wheelchair and what can and can't be done for a given illness. It can be really taxing to get suggestions or shares of articles like this from well-meaning friends and family that don't actually understand the realities of living with an injury or medical issue that puts someone in a wheelchair.

Obviously people should know work is being done. And obviously people might be excited to hear about breakthrough research. If you're inspired by articles like this, consider donating to the institutions funding the research. But, be aware that articles like this come out every year and for the vast majority of spinal cord injury patients it won't be available to them soon or ever.

If you really want to support those in the accessibility needs community, support local building code changes and adaptive sports and outdoors programs. Making buildings, sports, and wilderness accessible will impact more people positively in the near term. The science is cool and amazing, but 100k people are limited by a few stairs to enjoy life and experiences with family.
Touring is completely different from traveling for work, which I do too.

Touring is like traveling, it is in fact traveling at its best, it's like an adventure.

The only difference with traveling for leisure is that you don't stay in the same location for long, but you are away from home for a long time nonetheless.

Usually you travel around 200kms a day on average, someday it's 800km under the snow, some day it's 50kms on the coastline of beautiful Sardinia, but you might cross region borders or country borders, people speak different languages, you travel from north to south or west to east and everything changes.

East Germany and West Germany are different, German Switzerland and French Switzerland are different, Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels-area in Belgium are different.

North and South Italy are completely different.

To explain my point better I'll tell you what a musician told me.

One year we met with Bob Log III (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Log_III) a few times, because we were playing in the same venues, so we spent few nights together before and after the shows.

He told us he used to make a crazy number of shows in Europe, sth like 80 shows in 3 months.

He always travels alone, at least he did at the time, and drive his own car.

One night he was going from Innsbruck in Austria to Stockholm in Sweden where he had a show 48 hours later, stopping at the northern German border to get some sleep.

He told us it wasn't uncommon for him, he did it to pack as much shows as possible in as little time as possible, earn as much money possible, and then spend a couple of holiday weeks with his family in some European city, before going back home.

But then he said he stopped doing it.

He was only doing 30 shows in a row at max, no more than that.

Why, we asked.

He said: because as fun as it is to be always around partying with the great people that come at my shows who am I grateful to, because they are the ones allowing me to live my life as a musician, I started forgetting things.

I couldn't remember faces, dates, venues.

I kept going to the same places and not remembering people names.

So he decided to do less shows, max 30, in a bit less than two months, to make good memories that stayed.

What I wanna say is that it is absolutely non-boring, non-repetitive and definitely not something that feel like working, not at the level I did it anyway, but too much is too much, even too much fun can be too much and lose its meaning.
Meh, I'd kill for a better HN experience.
Show HN: Rosita longevity coach to extend healthspan raises $2.8m
Hi there, cofounder of Rosita here. We were on TC yesterday https://techcrunch.com/2022/02/08/spains-rosita-longevity-an-app-that-helps-seniors-be-more-active-is-headed-to-florida/

You probably know that Life expectancy is western countries is round 85. What you might not know is that Healthy Life Expectancy is only 65. Seniors live with a pain or a disease that could often be prevented.

Amongst muskuloskeltal diseases, frailty is a silent epidemic that affects 49% of the senior population and is the leading indicator or dependency. Not only that but 70% of seniors suffer osteoarthritis which leads to sedentarism and eventual frailty.

Startups always look for "pains" to solve. Well this is a literal pain that probably many of your parents suffer 365 days a year.

We come from a background of leading the largest longevity resort in Europe (balneario.com) where we educate 15,000 seniors per year in an immersive 10 day course on how to age better without disease. We have taken that methodology online.

Most seniors want to live to 100, but only if you promise them that they will not be in bed the last 10 years. While we wait for calico and losaltos to create extraterrestial technology, there is a lot your parents and grandparents can do to be in the best possible condition to live live the way they wanted.

If your parents or grandparents suffer some of this problems let me know. In fact, they should not wait until having problems. Just like in your 30s you start to plan your pension strategy, in your 60s you should plan your longevity strategy. All of us should have a longevity plan as early as possible.

That´s us, thanks for reading :)

In my opinion this comment brings the discussion full circle, from reasoning the difficulties of intergalactic travel back to the quandary of our home.
My list:

1. Solar flares

2. Rogue AI

3. World war

3. Water scarcity (tied to war above)

5. Pandemic

6. Climate disasters

My naive perception heavily weighs future possible technological progress. Solar flare collapse is basically unmitigable due to a combination of unpredictability and deep systemic interdependence and dependence on susceptible technologies. Some governments paid lip service to this risk in the past, allegedly pushing to plan for this risk. Ultimately, only some organizations will have the resources to sustain the acute impact of a solar flare, but what good is Google if they're the only ones with working computers?

With climate, I'm very optimistic about the innovation that will result from economic and social pressures. I think 10 years ago I would have rated it at #2.

Edit: What are the chances. As I wrote this, JET started live-streaming an announcement about fusion energy...
nice. Using this list a lot for my side projects...
In that case, it sounds just like transparent obfuscation in the vein of "asking for a friend"
In this case, "guilty" is the word that can take on different forms, unless you're saying that a video of Rittenhouse shooting someone is not showing him shooting someone. He still took a life, whether or not that was felonious, excusable, justifiable, or praiseworthy, to use Ambrose Bierce's quip.
What should he have done differently to have done a good job?
Any chance of un-paywalled versions, for us poor souls still believing in freedom of information...?
You forget: once you roll three 6s in a row, you're dead, and you don't roll any more. Your expected calculation assumes that people keep rolling after they get 666.

Though I'm not sure where they got their figure from, because there isn't an “expected time to live”; there's a 90% probability to live time, a 5% probability to live time…

>very nation has its national character, and Lithuanians are not an exception. It is well known that Lithuanians are the people who are proud of their country. It is generally accepted that we are very patriotic, curious, pragmatic, sensible, hard-working, superstitious, conformist and communal, intelligent, easily-led, punctual

Actually most foreigners give little to no thought about Lithuania, don't have some preconceived idea, and could not care less.

The same is true if you substitute 90% of the countries with Lithuania.

Unless your country is a global player (politically, militarilly, culturally, economically, etc.) its image is at best a concern for itself and neighbor states.
I don't think these 2 things are mutually exclusive. I can teach my children to code for a couple of hours on Saturday and Sunday morning, while they get to play outside in the afternoon.

> "Disney make films - as part of a filmmaking process we might want to know why they make film X and not Y, why they depict characters a certain way and not others. Are filmmakers limited or directed in any way? Enquiring minds would like to know. Presumably if you were to view Soviet or Nazi propaganda films, you wouldn't consider it off-topic to ask about their provenance, or if the political orientation of their sponsors was evident, and if that is morally acceptable. Do you think Disney is immune?"

What are you trying to say exactly? We also don't know why Chopin and Bach wrote their music the way they did. Why Picasso, Vincent, Da Vinci and others chose the motives they did, and painted the exact way they did. Are you bothered by that too?

The answer you're looking for is "artistic freedoms", but I get the feeling you're looking for "ulterior motives" instead.
