That's very interesting, and a contrary norm to many big companies in the U.S. Companies here are happy to pay whatever it takes to fill an empty position, but they often have limits on pay raises that prevent loyal employees from getting fair pay as they gain skills and rise to higher levels of responsibility in the company. Many people enjoy the familiarity and relationships at their job and would rather accept being underpaid than be forced to take a new job every couple of years, so the company loses a few people but gets to keep the rest at below market rate. Loyalty is effectively punished, and job-hopping is how you keep your salary current with the market and your experience.

I know several people who have been affected by this, but the most dramatic was a software engineer at AT&T who had started in an entry-level position in network operations. He had received the maximum allowed raise every year, but he was being paid less than 70% of what other software engineers at the same level were making. The request to make a one-time adjustment to his salary had to be escalated to an executive in another office hundreds of miles away (the VPs in our office did not have enough authority) and took months to process. It was not routine at all. It involved a physical sheet of paper with the executive's signature on it.
You should probably think a little more critically about password managers.

You don't reuse passwords at all. That is expressly the point of password managers. You generate a new password that is completely random and quite long for each independent website.

If one of the sites is breached, no matter. Damage is contained to that site. The only password of yours that is leaked for that site. The only place that password can be used is - you guessed it - that site.
What's weird and unique about work that one person can do better than two? Novel writing is complex, chess is complex, art is complex. Individuals do these things all the time.
It's probably 4,876 words, not pages. That'd be excessive even by privacy policy standards.

This. People need to buy a dock and stop whining. Or buy a desktop Mac in the first place and stop whining.

Oh I need Ethernet -> buy a dock (or fix your shitty wifi network).

Oh I need numerous USB devices -> buy a dock.

Oh I don't like BT devices -> buy a dock.

Oh I want to use some crusty old USB-A devices -> buy a dock.

Oh I want to use my mechanical keyboard and mouse -> why are you using a laptop? ... buy a dock

Dell sell a very nice Thunderbolt one that has 3x USB-A's, does PD, has two displayport outputs that work perfectly with the M1 macbooks (and PCs). I've got one. And it has a USB-A headset, mechanical keyboard and mouse connected to it and 2x 27" 4K displays with one single USB-C cable.

But screw all that I'd rather use the laptop built in devices (14" M1Pro MBP) and live a simpler life where I don't have a bunch of balls and chains hanging around forever.
I would be surprised if the scientific mechanisms behind this aren’t discovered within the next 10 years, due to the prevalence of this issue (if what you’re saying is indeed true that this has no current backing in science).

If you’re a porn user, I would suggest that you give it a try and observe what happens in your direct experience. Take a break from porn and masturbation. I think that if your discernment is subtle and sensitive enough, you will definitely notice something. What’s the harm in a fun little experiment?

Sometimes, science lags behind a bit on describing and explaining the phenomena of this universe. This doesn’t invalidate the occurrence of the phenomena themselves or make them inexistent. Sometimes, science just needs a bit more time to catch up, and improve its sophistication and paradigms.
He conducted research for money. This involved ~7 children spending 1 week in a hospital. The children were young (mean age 6) and some had severe autism, so they had to be sedated, held down by adults, etc.

His "informed consent" form does not describe the risks.

What video game makers in 2004 predicted gaming would look like today
I found this article a bit disturbing on several different points.

- romance being segregated from the routines of daily life

- the game-ification of dating apps

- the fact younger generations seem to be unable to read other peoples emotions

- the most 1/3 attractive women got 2/3 of all messages

- the most attractive men got 11 times as many messages as lowest

- the way men and women are emulating porn

- women becoming anti-men from poor repeated sexual experiences

It feels like we are heading into a dystopia.
I don't see how this continues on without an extreme reactionary events. Perhaps we already seeing this with new political movements like the article mentions some right wing groups are antiporn.

I'm beginning to think the sexual revolution and social media revolution together are just too much for the majority of humans. We aren't gods, we are primates. Comparing yourself to thousands of people is going to crush you. Treating people as commodities for sex or relationships is going to burn you out.

This is all super concerning, and gives me a lot of new insights into why I'm seeing so many young women and men become "revolutionary" albeit in very different ways.
The real tragedy of figure skating is that there is no figure skating anymore. It's called "figure skating" because the primary skill was "skating" and skaters were drawing "figures". It was called "compulsory figures" and it was a big part of competition. The fraction of overall score for figures has changed from 60% to 40% and then to 0% (in 1990). While "free skating" part became mostly a competition of the jumps.

The problem with jumps is that it discrimnates heavily by body type, while "figure skating" does not. I mean in compulsory figures the one who practiced longer and better wins. In jumps – the one who has smaller body wins. Kamila Valieva at age 20 will be 5 years more experienced and stronger than Kamila Valieva at age 15, and as much as talented, but she will not have a slightest chance to win herself at 15. How does it even make sense to people?

To rotate 4*360 degrees in 0.6 seconds you really benefit from smaller sum of radiuses of mass distribution. This is how female figure skating became competition of 15 pre-puberty girls.

With this overfocus on number of rotations, international figure skating losing fans and members like crazy. Arenas are half empty even on major competitions and international federation is wondering why revenues are plummeting.

But the tragedy is even deeper. Most older coaches in many countries are still from the generation who did "compulsory figures". They remember it, they remember how to teach the basics, although rarely do because everyone wants jumps as instructed by ISU rules. But new generation of coaches don't even know about figures, let alone how to tech them. And the older coaches already, you know, are dying. And we losing this knowledge. We're loosing roots of figure skating as a community.

But figures are instrumental part of figure skating, and really important to perform jumps efficiently.
I don't want to pair program full-time but this post is absurd. When I do pair program I find the process engaging. My partner is there to bounce ideas off of and the experience, for me, has generally been jovial. Code written in a pair programming session tends to get reviewed faster as it contains the assumptions and direction of more than one person on the team, leading to fewer surprises and questions.

We're knowledge workers and sometimes having someone to bounce ideas off of and work alongside can be useful to get the creative juices flowing.
The problem here is that it sold the DNA to third parties. The government 'data watchdog' appears to be stepping in to stop this overt failure.

Of course, all the testing agencies are collecting DNA. The records will be somewhere.

Do we think that government agencies will be able to access these? Will the NHS? Will government access even be stated in the agreements that they signed to be 'government-approved'? Will the data be available to other companies down the line for research? Or when they are bought up by a big corporation?

The point is that this is another erosion of privacy, another cat is out of the bag. It is all very foreseeable.

Once we sanction the collection of private information, eg DNA for health! to prevent child abuse! to stop terrorism! the over-reach is never withdrawn. Government access to your dna, online record, etc, etc - becomes the new normal. All while the actions of the government are ever more hidden - eg secret courts, collection of data, etc

In every instance of privacy erosion, a plausibly valid excuse is supplied by the government. But it is a one-way street. Why we continuously accept government justifications of excessive over-reach amazes me. But that we do in general (I don't!) destroys privacy for everyone.

Absolutely hate these scooters from an ADA prospective.

My neighborhood is a mostly quiet one near the center of a large city, where there are a lot of mothers who push their kids in strollers, older folks with canes, and some people even in wheelchairs.

On the weekends -- sometimes the weekdays as well depending on the time of the year -- the city gets flooded with both tourists, and suburbanites who want to go to all the 'trendy' spots often opting to use these scooters.

More often than not they park them right in the middle of the sidewalk. The side walk that the strollers, canes and wheelchairs use on a daily basis. Usually when I see this, I just knock the things over and push them out of the way.
Thankfully (IMO), you can't patent game ideas. There's no legal action NYT can take (and expect to win) to shut down any games that build on the same game rules.

However, even if you disagree with me, and think that there should be no app implementing Wordle-style gameplay on App Store. What's your opinion on Minesweeper, Tetris, or Tic-tac-toe? Should no iOS versions of those games exist? Remember that Apple only ever refers to the original Wordle website in their rejections and never even acknowledges the existence of Wordle clones.

What about Scrabble? If they were applying their rules consistently they would surely kick out Words With Friends, but what about Wordfeud? Should they kick out Wordfeud because Scrabble implementations already existed on the web?
You nailed it. Rather than competing, he's going after a new market altogether. I don't recall FB ever innovating in a new space successfully, they usually buy it. Does not bode well for the long term of FB.
> You want separate logins for every service?

In short: yes.

In long: I want separate logins for different domains. In no universe should Minecraft share a login service with Azure cloud engineering. And I shouldn't have to log in to use offline applications locally. And teams should support different logins for many accounts, like Slack figured out ages ago. By forcing changes to the login pattern for negligible to negative consumer benefit, it's clear Microsoft continues to be broken.

Microsoft and login services are terrible, and uniting them under one login to rule them all doesn't help.
I'm 10 years older than you, and this doesn't resonate with me at all.

Having sex shouldn't be exhausting. It's fun and easy.

In fact, your whole post makes me tired just reading it. You sound exhausted. I hope you can find a way to get some rest.
I'm assuming this is a movie tie-in, so it's odd that the depiction of the worms is closer to the three-lobed mouth of the original novel cover art and 1984 movie than the round mouth of the new movie.

Anyway, I do think that 4X RTS is a bit of a tired genre for Dune, and probably won't live up to the original.

I also think it's a waste. Why just another story of exploiting a land's natural resources, mining, subjugating villages, and sending spice off to a distant empire. Sure, it fits so well into the 4X genre it's an easy, thoughtless adaptation. But what about a game told from the Freman's perspective? How about a game of repelling the imperialist invaders? Or a naturalist tale of trying to turn the desert green?

Cops are a low wage job that struggles to move up in life? Dude...sure there are guys that stay on the beat their whole 30 years but there is ample opportunity within any large city organization to specialize and move up into quite well paid (by any measure other than HN's tech salaries) professionals. Even the ones that don't still usually do ample overtime to increase their take home pay to levels unattainable by large swaths of white collar American workers.

Keep in mind there is no 'the police' in the US there are like 10K different jurisdictions all doing their own thing and a little 2K person town with one sheriff and two deputies will function much different from the NYC police department.
This is very true with the Gen Zers, Especially the Early Gen Z. You folk that are in your mid 20's. Really People born after 1995 are not Millennial. Its hard to even justify people born in 94 a Millennial. You don't remember 911, and you didn't experience last last economic recession first hand in the work force. If your first out of HS job was after 2012, You are a Gen Zer.

They simply are struggling, very few have moved up in their career paths. And so far have been one of the most lazy generations.
Hey. I'm cheering for you. Wishing you a lot of success! :))) Hopefully the next post will be about how you now make 4000 a month.
"We have developed a rigorous framework for evaluating scientific evidence of sentience based on eight criteria."

1) possession of nociceptors;
2) possession of integrative brain regions;
3) connections between nociceptors and integrative brain regions;
4) responses affected by potential local anaesthetics or analgesics;
5) motivational trade-offs that show a balancing of threat against opportunity for reward;
6) flexible self-protective behaviours in response to injury and threat;
7) associative learning that goes beyond habituation and sensitisation;
8) behaviour that shows the animal values local anaesthetics or analgesics when injured.
And what threat model does this satisfy?
A safe rule of thumb is to never install Insider Preview builds unless you want to be a lab rat.

An even safer rule of thumb is to only install LTSB/LTSC builds of Windows, if you can get access to them.

"Recycling" a coal power plant by turning it on again is one of the more tortured uses of that word I've seen recently.

It's similarly not a "CO2 offset": the offset is latent in the plant remaining dormant, or possibly being scrapped. By turning the plant back on, these miners have converted a CO2 offset into an ongoing source of CO2 emissions.
Is there legislation in either the US or UK (or both) that prevents a testing lab from analyzing my DNA from a swab provided for the purpose of a Covid (or other) test? I had never thought about this, but it seems alarming, given that my identification is obviously associated with the swab, that a lab could unilaterally decide to analyze my DNA...
I think you're exaggerating/generalizing quite a bit. Although, I agree about the legal sex work. I'm also thankful there's no public nudity at the beaches here. The people you'd want to see naked won't be, and vice versa.

Let’s make it simple.

Let’s say you live in a house in a place where the sun never shines and have ten dollars. One electricity costs one dollar. But you spend your ten dollars on a wireless solar mining rig that lives in the desert ten thousand miles away. Now you’re using this power, that previously only cactuses could use, to generate Bitcoin. You take the Bitcoin via the net, and buy electricity with it in your home town, which you can do as long as the sun is shining in the desert. Now, with all this money, you build a renewable geothermal power plant under your house. Boom, passive energy generation.

Now generalize this principle to millions of people, and you get the idea.
I’m not waxing poetic about anything. I agree that the UAE has engaged (and continues to engage) in several atrocities. Many many horrible things which as mentioned, I’m also combating during my time here.

Also you mentioned little fact, mostly emotion, but i stated things like the Year of Tolerance, the religious temples being built, etc. but I’d hope others can also investigate on their own. We are so quick to paint countries as evil without understanding the full situation.

I’ve met several intelligent people here from everywhere in the world and many here are trying to have a positive impact on the country.
> I would be happy to lose "only" 10 kg (hell, 5 kg would be good for a start), but since Covid and home office my weight has been (slowly, but steadily) going in the wrong direction. Yeah, you can and do burn calories by exercising, but it's depressing how little it is.

Had the same problem. Then switched to intermittent fasting. First two months, nothing happened. Then within a month dropped 10 kg, which got me back to my pre-covid weight. I'm doing 8/16 IF by the way, and eating more than I did before, so I think the CICO theory is stupid :)

Having gone to private Christian schools when I was younger (in suburban America but not quite rural), I'm going to offer the anecdote that religious people are just as sexual as non-religious people.

They just won't admit to it openly or on surveys.
To put a slight different additional spin on that:

To enjoy sex, or to even have a sex drive, you have to be not taking anti-depression medication. Maybe it's the rise in depressed people[1]?

[1] I am one of that number, and take meds, and suffer as stated.
How do some australian dudes not get trouble from their government for participating/organizing a kidnapping to blackmail somebody?
The US persons especially.
Yes, the Azure API, there are 2 different things under the hood, the short and login APIs, that are different names, different auth headers, different voices supported, voices with same name that have different styles supported. Bad errors messages that popup and get fixed in a few days but only on one of the APIs. The issue is that I am trying to combine the short and long APIs in one product and I am hitting this big inconsistencies, I see lcearly there are 2 teams and do things different , if you use only one section you have a completly different experience.

Edit. I do the REST calls directly, not via an SDK and use the documentation from MS for the REST API so no SDK documentation or SDK code that hides the issues.
I’m in the boat as well, I don’t quite trust SaaS managers and ultimately settled on KeePassXC. I also host my own mailinabox though, so my database is synced on my personal Nextcloud across my devices.

In addition to a master passphrase, I also use a keyfile for keypass, so even if the database is compromised I would hope that it’s still not useful without the keyfile.
Clearly the question is "will this run on steamdeck with the default configuration, i.e. Linux?"

It isn't the rituals. Poor people have done them in the past. I'm over 40 and have done very few of those silly rituals, thankfully. I don't wear a wedding ring either. "Mating rituals" are quite possible to do cheaply. "Come over and play this game with me, and we can cook some food"

It is, literally, living with one's parents. If I had to live with my parents, not only would I never be able to have sex in my own house, but I'd still - as an adult - have to lie about going to someone's house to have sex. I couldn't do the above example. No matter how old I am, my mother treats me as a child, generally with horrible sayings like, "my house, my rules" and the amount of contribution doesn't matter. As you might have guessed, my mother is conservative. My dad was too, while he was alive.
Slick answer.
>> I am arguing that DNA is not the most "sensitive" personal data.

>"The most" is debatable, and to some extent a matter of opinion. "One of the most" is hard to argue. It's highly personal information.

Agreed. I am arguing with the statement as written in the article.
There's definitely a contingent in the HN comments with a bit of an antisocial streak. I wish people approached comments they take issue with with more of a pedagogical approach, starting with interpretive charity and trying to help the commenter see things in another way.

I'd actually use the term "welcoming" in this context.
AWS was originally built to run amazon workloads. When building software at amazon scale absolutely is one of the first things you think about.
> any server application needs compute

I'm curious about this as well so will be learning more about dapps (decentralized apps). Starting here

https://blog.chronobank.io/what-is-a-decentralised-applicati...

https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/dapps

For messaging dapps, check out the new Blockscan chat by the creators of Etherscan : https://decrypt.co/91226/etherscan-creators-launch-ethereum-... (note: NOT very decentralized yet)

This is past my level of expertise, but you could map out what those clock cycles of a mail server are going towards. For example, serving files, like we talked about, can happen on IPFS. No compute needed there beyond what IPFS already does.
That's why they are telling you (as is common) to compare the results on a weekly basis which reduces the variance. TDEE calculations from scratch are much much more unreliable than empirically finding out and mostly good for a starting point.
I always thought it was the opposite. That subreddits allowed the community to expand without catering to the lowest common denominator, and reddit would have fallen off the cliff faster without those.
the type of food definitely matters. Carbs somehow 1) dont fill you up 2) spike your appetite. When I do low carb I feel so much less hungry on lower calories.

The deficit cant be too large, for me 500 is ok, but 1000 has me ravenous the next day.

Lots of obese people easily lose 2 pounds/week but as you get closer to a healthy weight it gets harder.

CICO was the first time I was able to actively lose weight in my entire life.
