"It's safe. It's not really debated, no."

If there wasn't still debate then there wouldn't still be studies questioning it. There are tons of studies that say something to the effect of non-thermal effects being debated/possible/etc.

"that was not explained by high magnetic fields."

Which does not rule out specific frequency, fluctuations in field exposure, etc.

Your number 3 link acknowledges that some studies have found increased risks. "of which few studies have reported evidence of increased risk"

No, it can at least affect intracellular calcium.

"The reason you can't say it doesn't do anything is because it's fundamentally impossible to prove a negative"

Not really. If you properly control all the variables, you can measure the differences. This may not be feasible when studying humans, but typically a control group is used or comparison to the population. The studies have done this and show a correlation between higher risk and powerlines. They just haven't shown causation or the underlying mechanism, including the chemicals you mention (traffic exposure). "This association was not explained by exposure to high MF levels or by other measured confounders."
As a practicing scientist I can't say I disagree with the original statement. Most publications are the bare minimum to get past peer-review to add another line on the author's CV. This is incentivized by academia and the whole "publish-or-perish" attitude so early-stage researchers are expected to pump out a certain number of publications otherwise they'll be out of a career in 3 years.
Why? You can have multiple databases in one instance, running multiple pg instances seems counterproductive?
Uneducated answer: it's a natural monopoly. There are economies of scale and any new entrant won't get monopoly profits to justify the required capital and risk.

Musk has not "threatened" to take Starlink public. IF Starlink were to go public it would not be some absurd crypto currency ICO.

Good point! Almost always Apple Pay, not often the physical card.
The article seems flawed from its premise, which is that because there's X% (41 I guess) rate of moderate to severe anxiety in students attending grad school, grad school must be the cause.

Classic case of correlation =/= causation.

Besides, the cited research also says this: "Although this is a convenience sample in which respondents who have had a history of anxiety or depression may have been more apt to respond to the survey..."
This may be the case in computer science but is definitely not the case in science/philosophy. Not doing graduate school means effectively not doing science/philosophy. We sort of scoffed at everyone who dropped out at undergrad and thought they were obviously never serious about the field. I'm not saying the scoffing was correct, just that it was mystifying to us when someone actually good didn't go on to grad school.
Apple isn't anywhere close to a monopoly, though, about a quarter of smartphones. A little more in install base, and a little less in quarterly shipments. [1] Building a phone network has massive capital expenditure costs on infrastructure, building a phone does not.

That makes sense; we'll need to think more about pricing consumer differently than enterprise because we've heard that our pricing is actually quite low for enterprise. Appreciate the perspective!
It's surprising that damask is so far below katana for males.
I don't understand why they can't just build a basic pickup truck any more.

We had an old pre-fuel injected pickup. It had a bigger bed than the current truck, and seated six instead of five. It got 33% more miles to the gallon. The new one's transmission likes to overheat, even when not towing.

Seriously, wtf?
I hadn't ever listened to that. Queued! Potential downside: no one could unhear "billions"
This kind of company can't survive long, and aren't very common fortunately. Lots of open positions as well, so no reason to stay either. Mobility is generally a good thing.
The impact of all of that $$$ and vertical integration on hardware and software quality is not to be ignored. Apple Silicon in particular is an astonishing development after years of Qualcomm/Intel dominance.

The only real issue I have with Apple Silicon is that since it isn't open hardware that anybody can buy, I can't run my own software on A-series chips. At least M-series chips are opening up slowly to Linux, though.
The research into anxiety rates covered all fields though.
Tragedy of the commons, in a triple sided market, prevents this.

At the end of the day, these developers are still competing with each other, and rational actors will break from the coordination to profit off the users for themselves.

Quick question: In which societies on Earth is this trend reversed? Since women's relative disinterest in science apparently comes from society, and there are many societies on Earth, surely there are some societies in which women are more interested in science than men, right?

All of this stuff seems like obvious post hoc rationalization. You know girls aren't taught to be engineers because relatively few engineers are women. Are we socializing young girls to be accountants, claims adjusters, or advertising specialists? If girls are just reading sparkly books about princesses where do they get the idea to become accountants? (Accountants, by the way, are close to an even split on gender)

The survey you cite is pretty meaningless. They survey some engineering freshman and then find a few questions where the results are statistically different between men and women.

"We conducted t-tests to determine gender differences in
survey responses. We found that women tended to have
lower self-efficacy perceptions: they reported less
confidence in their ability to complete the physics
requirements (5.75 vs. 6.13, p < .05), less confidence that
they could do well in an engineering major during the
current academic year (5.75 vs. 6.07, p < .05), and less
confidence that they could complete any engineering degree
at this institution (5.08 vs. 5.41, p < .05). In contrast, women reported higher outcome expectations than men: they
reported greater agreement with the statement that
engineering will allow them to find a well-paying job (6.48
vs. 6.33, p < .05), and that doing well at math would increase their sense of self-worth (5.66 vs. 5.46, p < .05). "

So - women tended to have less confidence but higher expectations for their career and that's supposed to be evidence that society teaches women they can't be engineers?
Apparently it happened to me when I took a laptop on a plane with a full disk encryption. After that it wouldn't decrypt anymore. I spent a fair amount of time googling recovery methods and nothing worked.
Twitter is not a platform for science. If you believe useful scientific findings are being hindered by what people are writing in 280 character missives, I have a hard time believing you understand how science happens. What matters is funding, and what drives funding is the government, which has largely military objectives, and industry, which has largely profit objectives. Nobody gets research funding from Twitter.
It does.

What does discussion on HN have to do with programs in schools? Really-- the tech industry may have issues but they are separate from how we raise and educate children, and the messaging we send those kids
Outliers in what way? Outliers in terms of healthiness and fitness? Are they more or less healthy than the gymnasts? Even if they are outliers, it's an illustrative example - gymnasts are extreme outliers as well even among athletes, so why isn't that an issue? I would suggest that while the lens of evaluating physical attractiveness in most of the western world currently largely aligns with physical fitness, this is a relatively recent development and far from universal. Even a few generations ago I would suspect that the majority of current female Olympic level athletes would have been graded far lower on the attractiveness scale than we currently might.
No, but the preferences and life choices that would lead to someone being exposed to and learning that word are in part due to sex dimorphism.
You're right. I've been in the weeds analyzing the finances of tech companies where the users of the apps are actual customers, and the term 'user' weren't as nice

The most salient point against a lab leak theory:

> “RaTG13 couldn’t have naturally morphed into SARS-CoV-2,” he says. Neither could anybody have used RaTG13 as the backbone to engineer SARS-CoV-2, as some proponents of the lab leak theory have argued: the two viruses are different in 1,100 or so nucleotides spread across their whole genomes—a gap too large for any realistic effort. Making SARS-CoV-2 from RaTG13, says virologist Angela Rasmussen of the University of Saskatchewan in Canada, “would have required a feat of unprecedented genetic engineering.”
I’m not sure how people don’t understand this. If certain apps stopped working on my iPhone, I wouldn’t get an android. I would just stop using that app.
Musk wanted to cancel Falcon Heavy, and according to rumors did internally, but then Shotwell (SpaceX COO) reminded him that they'd already sold Falcon Heavy missions to the Air Force so it forced their hand. In reality it should've been canceled as it's not very profitable. What happened is that the Falcon 9 performance kept getting better and better and ate up the market segment that would have been put on to Falcon Heavy.
Not third party. You still have a pretty valuable device if you use nothing but apps provided by Apple.
This may be true for lower-tier and middle-of-the-pack graduate programs but at the higher end, if anything, the opposite is true. There's an arms race among the candidates to get the best grades in the hardest classes, to get the best research experience, best letters of recommendations, perfect or near-perfect GRE scores and often GRE subject scores.

Getting a good job sounds almost blissfully easy in comparison.
Skyrmions were known in theory for a long time, but only experimentally realized less than ten years ago. I guess you can say they fall within the larger field of spintronics, where people seek to exploit spin-charge coupling.

The most well-known example is of course giant magnetoresistance (GMR), and later tunnel magnetoresistance, which was a key piece of harddrive read head technology development in the late 90s and 2000s.

GMR was discovered in 1988, and received the 2007 Nobel prize in physics, and it was actually miniaturized sufficiently to be used commercially in just 10 years.
No, the teams weren't trying to exclude women. Not at all. They were representative of the company and the entire industry. There are very few women in tech.

So then the question is why are very few women in tech? If you really dive into this, it's a chicken-and-egg problem: The fact that so few women are in tech makes the whole scene into sort of a frat house, which is often not a welcoming or kind environment to women, so women avoid it. A feedback loop. And one way you can try to combat that is by encouraging entry into the field. Et voilà: "Girls who code".
I'm surprised you haven't seen this before. Even as a consultant way back in 2012, many basic rental cars had this feature. It shows album art and other metadata about the currently playing track or show. I believe it's part of HD radio.

At least that's the case in the USA. I seem to recall seeing the same in European vehicles as well.
I still prefer reading on dead tree material.

The profit motive corrupts all. We need to kill capitalism in its current form for these companies to stop being terrible and evil.

There are constant articles on HN about why <insert big company> is doing <terrible monopolistic thing>, and we inevitably talk about how these companies are doing horrible things, while others then go on to say “well look at all the value they’re bringing”. As if both can’t be true at once. It’s an embarrassingly reductive back and forth.

These companies have a fiduciary responsibility to their shareholders to maximize the stock price. This inevitably leads to this behavior.

Of course, everyone on this site secretly wants to build the “next big thing” so they can get famous and incredibly wealthy. You can only become that rich under the current system, so instead of just understanding the fundamental reasons why we see this behavior again and again and again, we bicker about the finer points of governance of these corporations. It’s like arguing about what size bandaid to put over a gaping chest wound.

This site is full of smart people, but our collective greed makes us seem pretty damn stupid
I don't see how this solves any problems.

How would this hypothetical reddit coin work? Does reddit mint them or do the users have to buy them? How are they distributed? (e.g. based on interaction vs awarded by users)

If this is to be a payment system, then these coins have value, value which can be taxed. Sure, meeting up with some dude and paying cash might avoid it, but the success of Coinbase shows convenience is king, and the demographics of reddit are far different than the initial Bitcoin crowd, so these exchanges would pop up much sooner. Even if reddit manages to dodge the tax situation by minting coins themselves (vs charging sales tax on purchased coins), the tax man will be more than happy to collect records from exchanges.

You may be right in that distributions of virtual coins may not fall under any existing labor regulations, but I don't see that as a good thing. "Just think how much money we could save by skirting labor laws through paying people in crypto" is only a win for the employer.

But even if these coins have no real value and can only be used on reddit for virtual goods reddit wholly owns (e.g. reddit gold), considering how people farm karma, a meaningless virtual number, I can only see more perverse incentives being created for those running repost bots.

Edit: Much has been said about the state of Youtube monetization over the years and how infuriatingly often that yellow "limited/no ads" icon appears for seemingly no reason, about the drop in payouts, abuse of copyright claims, and how some people take advantage of the system (see: Dan Olson's video "Weird Kids' Videos and Gaming the Algorithm" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKp2gikIkD8). But despite all this, I think the current state of Youtube would be more fair than a hypothetical reddit monetization scheme, and most micropayment schemes I've read about for that matter.
"Sure - we've discounted the 'Apple Tax' from 40% to 30% to account for all these costs we've been inflicting on you.

Instead of "the government" how about an independent NGO that was comprised of people who included industry or ex-industry ML/AI folks as well as academic or government people? There's a fairly robust emerging group of "ethics in tech" people who have worked on the industry algorithms and could be resources if their were policy requirements for audits.
You might have a point if the only negative outcome of 2008 was that a lot of people lost homes they could never afford.

It was the banks' and regulators' responsibility to not allow bad loans to be issued and resold as mis-labeled AAA investment vehicles. That is the part that broke the global economy.
>but their employees are loud Californians who can about justice

In my experience, Californians care about justice the same way they care about anything, fashion. Only the injustices that are fashionable to be against ever get any attention.

If you need proof they don't care about justice look no further than they fact the keep electing Peloci.
Surprising how little attention this story got: https://www.theinformation.com/articles/facing-hostile-chine...

From the image: "guys really live in apartments like this and don't see any issue"

And we mean it. I see only two problems:

1) no extra seating for pals—c'mon, at least add a couple bean bags and a couple folding trays (in fairness, those may be put away off-frame), if you're not even playing local multiplayer or having friends over to watch TV/movies, why even bother with this much?

2) it'll probably turn off any woman who sees it.

So not enough seating and women won't like it, are the only reasons I wouldn't be totally OK living like that if I were single.

[EDIT] I spotted a third problem! There's not a Gamecube or N64 or Dreamcast sitting on the floor halfway between the TV and chair.

My initial impression glancing at that list was that it was maybe taken from a survey of French speakers, because the first few words looked totally alien to me. Then I recognized freesia, then a few more words coalesced. All told, I'm more or less familiar with only 5-7 of the "female" words but every single one of the "male" words are very familiar to me.
Stack Overflow blocks Tor due to DDoS attacks
For some reason, this code [1] is still accessible on the public internet! This dates back to CoreOS and the Tectonic (CoreOS's k8s distro) Console. The code needed to be rewritten, I had familiarity with React, and after the nth time Angular 2 broke backwards compatibility in an RC, we went for it.

It was a little different than I remembered. We moved all data into Redux and piped it into the various Angular bits. Then, it was a matter of making the angular-> react bridge (using ngreact) introduced in this PR.

Probably not. Steam turbines are a pretty mature technology, though I suppose you'd want to use the most efficient kind of turbine available if energy output isn't overwhelmingly bigger than energy input.

edit: since JET is used for research rather than practical power generation, they might not have a steam turbine at all. I was thinking more of the scenario where they're past the research phase and actually doing power generation.
> Assuming that value equals price

That's a big assumption. There are lots of careers with social and financial values that diverge, ignoring that would I think miss the point OP is trying to make.
> - Developers should get a “cut” whenever Apple makes arbitrary changes that completely break 3rd-party apps. If the app’s code doesn’t change but Apple does change something, their behavior is literally creating problems for developers with no cost to Apple. Let’s charge them!

So when Apple introduces new features and frameworks, should developers then pay Apple? This doesn't seem to make sense.
> 2. You don't even know enough to know that the Palantiri were originally created and used by the elves, not Sauron.

I take offense to that. I know the Palantiri were originally made by the elves, with good intentions. Sauron just took hold of one and poisoned the network.
Same. I have multiple undergraduate and graduate degrees and consider myself wide read. I knew every single "male" word and none of the "female" words. Though, I did have some recognition of a few of the "female" words, I just have no idea what their definition is.
From my understanding, it's better for making biomethane if you separate them. The methane comes from feces, and bacteria digest parts of urine into ammonia, which slows down the bacteria that convert feces into methane.

> Using an inoculum acclimated to high ammonia concentrations was critical to successful biogas production at these high TAN concentrations.

That's what this part is talking about. They intentionally introduced bacteria that were tolerant of high ammonia levels to work around all the ammonia the urine gives off. The wild-type bacteria aren't tolerant of those levels of ammonia, and do a poor job of digesting the feces when mixed.

As far as tech is concerned, I believe metal is their own inhouse invention?

Metal is a set of APIs for developers; it's not customer facing. Most users aren't going to know which graphics API their software uses. Apple supported and uses OpenGL for a long time and it's still available for backwards compatibility I believe.

In that game, the number said after the clue tells you how many of the words in play are related to the clue. So the word flashbang wouldn't be hinting at a codeword, but four of them.
