>You know who else tried to predict future compatibility of certain people based on genetics?

Jesus, a Hitler reference? Lots of organizations that aren't Hitler diagnose behavior based on genetics, including alcohol and drug abuse prevention and modern medicine. Your parents have cancer? Well predictively you might have a higher chance of getting it too. Your parents are smart? We should test you for the gifted program.

>Nothing justifies any of those measures described in the NYYT article and by others in this thread. Nothing, period.

Nobody is justifying it, read what you are replying to.

>As a society we have to accept that some people don't want to cooperate. As long as nobody is harmed (up to the justice system to decide) we have to accept that too.

Most of the time people are harmed, not just the troubled individual but the family of 4 they crash into and kill on a drunken joyride. What tools do parents have to prevent that? That's the whole point of the discussion.
The Bluefy Browser is the ability to optimize experience with Web Bluetooth
The Bluefy app was launched in early 2020. Today the application is localized in more than 14 languages and gathered users from different countries.

Bluefy is an effective solution for those who want to optimize their experience in web development, customization of Bluetooth devices, and want to create new solutions.

Bluefy is a standard browser with a minimalist layout. The developers have announced a lot of updates that are waiting for the application soon. Users can create read lists and bookmarks using the Folder Manager. Updates touch the boot manager, which will become much more convenient and functional.

Developers improve the settings of work in full-screen mode. So users, when working with Web API pages and when creating PWA solutions, will be able to expand the space for work.

The Bluefy app is customized for iOS users and is one of the best on the market. In addition, the app is completely free and contains no built-in advertising. Developers continue to update and improve the technical part of the application. Initially, Bluefy did not restrict users to the number of devices to connect to. There are currently no problems with multiple connected devices. The most important thing is to use the web API pages that support your devices.
Pretty cool. I like it when companies genuinely care. For them it problem doesn't matter. Those who wanted tailscale will have gone with them anyway. Those who wanted a selfhosted version, wouldn't have bought Tailscale otherwise. Kudos to them.
> When did we become so not only complacent but also discouraging of any genuine effort? It is as if everyone is so aloof that if you show any effort or appreciation of your craft that you're societally acknowledging your own serfdom or that you're serving "the man".

People perceive (perception being more important than reality in this case) growing inequality, and see that society as a whole isn't moving toward any goals they care about, so they just grift as be they can, coast and collect their paychecks. Society used to dream of a future of abundance and robot house-maids, now we picture the future being scarcity and catastrophic climate change and nuclear fallout. Am I wrong? Please tell me I'm wrong. I want to hear what future dreams society is persuing other than moving money around and making investment portfolios grow.
Ask HN: Short and interactive exercises for devs?
The place I work at has a 1 hour time slot every other week for all the devs to meet up remotely which usually has people presenting some topic to teach others.

I want to do something different that is still web dev related, but shouldn't take longer than 30-40 minutes all up including the initial walkthrough.

Skill levels range from one end to the other so I don't want it too challenging, too easy might be okay given such a short time frame.

Some ideas would be ones from codepip like Flexbox Froggy and Grid Garden. (These actually might do the trick)

Most of the Troubled Teen industry in the US spun out of Synanon, so it comes from a very particular religious background. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synanon

It seems like Elan comes from there, but I can't be sure.

This begs the question: Is everyone who is labeled a “trouble teen” actually a troubled teen? I sincerely doubt the system is 100% accurate in assigning this label.
Yeah the Rambo skin was worth $10 and it added to the experience.
I don’t mind paying extra for it.

However Warzone is a prime example of cosmetics affecting the game - remember any of the scandals (DMR-gate of Dec 2020), when the desire to sell weapon blueprints / Battle Pass pushes the designers overpower the new weapons. It’s subtle but very toxic.
Or the Roze skin. Even if that one wasn’t intentional they can’t change/remove it now because people paid for it.

The biggest issue I have with free to play is there's virtually no barrier for smurf accounts.
Are there stats showing this? This would seem to me to be a very strange thing to base every day spending on.

Also the market should cool down from its current ridiculousness, and I wouldn't call it a recession if people stop throwing up crazy bids from FOMO and houses have to start being competitive to sell.
It's an inflection point.

When AGI blinks into existence, what happens after that moment might be so instantaneously transcendent that we don't even have the vocabulary to discuss it.

It's mostly useful for describing the time before AGI and the time after AGI.

What will actually occur is impossible to know.
The problem is, the idiot who pushes himself to 100% sets a standard that the rest become expected to follow.

I phoned 3 and complained that my 4G internet in central London was so terrible that I might switch - it was going down to 0 bits per second so you'd fail to call an Uber. They said, sorry they were installing more gear for 5G and things would improve and they have, although I'm still on 4G. I think the networks constantly upgrade with faster and higher bandwidth stuff and the terms like 3G, 4G and 5G are mostly for marketing. So I'm all in favour of 5G upgrades but feel no desire to get a handset that has '5G' printed on it.

Unless you're autistic or awkward there's no easier way to deceive people than to get them to perceive that "spark" of another being. Look at how people see faces in plant stems, rock formations on Mars, etc.

ELIZA could pass as a human somewhat in the 1960s. On a day when I'm feeling awkward I feel envious of GPT-3 which, being a pile of nothing but biases devoid of understanding, passes as a neurotypical really well.
It's funny, ever since I dedicated the morning to normal duties and afternoons to growth and development, I deliver results faster. Could be that I only use 4 hours to do all my work so I plan better and action faster.

I do not know how to cure cancer, but I am sure it is not good for me. So I go to someone who might know more about how to get rid of it.

You can know there is a problem without knowing how to fix it. That should not stop you from talking about the problem.
How is it unlikely for them to earn those awards? The majority of winners, even last night, are straight, white, abled people. The majority of films that have won in the past have been that way too.

I don't think you actually really follow the Oscars so much as complain about a false sense of virtue signaling
If humanity in 4,000 BC lost 1,000 years of technology, then things might very well be the same today.

If humanity in 1900 AD lost 100 years of technology, then it would be very noticeable, but would not threaten extinction.

If humanity in 2022 lost 50 years of technology, billions would die.

To me, singularity is when humanity relies on the present advance of technology, were any stalling would collapse the entire species.

Snowpiercer (2013) involves this sort of thing.
Same thing in Germany. All shops are closed on Sundays and bank holidays, and while opening times on weekdays have been deregulated in most states, some - like Bavaria - still enforce opening times of no more than 6:00 to 20:00 or 6:00 to 22:00.

I'm generally a fan of longer opening times, but having a day where everyone but entertainment and hospitality has free time simultaneously seems very healthy for both families and society at large.
> Parents are much less sacrosanct in the US/UK than anywhere else.

By what measure? Cultural relevance or actual legal authority?

> No one actually knows how to raise children.

We have a much better idea now about how to meet the developmental needs of children than ever before, I think almost anyone would argue. We have studies on the outcomes of things like corporal punishment. We have the ACE study and it’s effects. So many other foundational developmental science has been done in the last 30 years.

> I think it's better to let parents do their best. This leaves us with some children who were over-disciplined and some who were under-disciplined and this is a better outcome than everyone being screwed up in the same way.

I certainly won’t argue against that but I would argue that having people have at least a cursory education on child rearing might be something that would help. As a survivor of abuse it’s very difficult to allow for the idea that nothing further could be done for kids in similar positions.
Hello, great question!

Hashes must only be slow in certain circumstances where the plaintext of the hash is vulnerable to a "pre-image" attack. This means that the entropy of the plaintext is very low and there are very few possibilities. In these cases you use extremely slow hashes like bcrypt or be forced to use AES encryption before hashing. For example: Passwords, Credit Card Security Digits, Names, etc...

Plaintext that has a LOT of entropy does not need a slow hash function. You can usually get by with SHA-256. For example: digital signatures, AES keys, Public/Private keys, large file hashes, etc...

In addition, if you are only trying to verify integrity with no need for security, a quick hash function is useful. Like a checksum on a file system. In this case a fast hash function is more important. EG: https://ext4.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Ext4_Metadata_Checksu...

The beer on Friday metaphor resonates with me (even though I don’t drink beer), that’s how I perceive buying in game items.
Out of curiosity which game(s) did you spend 10-20k on?
>Monetisation strategies like microtransactions, loot boxes, etc. are also part of the game. However, the goal of such parts is not aligned with that of the others. The game is compromised by the introduction of the monetisation strategies.

This is an interesting point. I think it begs the question, what _is_ the goal of a game? 10 years ago I would have said that broadly, the goal of a video game is to create an experience the player will enjoy. Perhaps now it's more simple though, maybe the goal of the vast majority of games today is to create a model in which money is willingly transferred from the player to the publisher.
There is a bit of that at least for me, but it is a mixed bag. Yes, pier and beam can handle shifting soil better than the modern foundations we see around my area, but most everything from an insulation standpoint is extremely inferior to modern construction. Also, airflow in houses retrofitted for central air conditioning is suboptimal. The woodworking made from hand tools is something we will never see again in middle class homes though. On the whole, I'd give the nod to a modern home both for maintainability and efficiency, with the notable exception of foundations. If I lived somewhere basements were normal in new builds, even that might swing towards a new build. But old houses are still just more interesting, the way a 60s roadster is more interesting than a modern one, despite being worse in every way functionally.
Apparently dowsing is still used in California's Central Valley to determine where to drill wells (the valley sits on top of an aquifer, though it is being drawn down unsustainably).

I asked a farmer about this and he said that yes, he uses a "witcher" and that they are good at finding water though they can't tell you how deep (!!). Of course I assumed he was pulling my leg but I later encountered someone on that property wielding a coat hanger to tell this same farmer where to drill.
I have a toddler - vacations don't really exist at this stage of life.

Plus the past two years have seen me using most of that time for family medical issues. This year I'll be using about 1/4 of my time off for my wife to go on vacations.
I know a lot of places in MB still open later and close earlier on Sunday but I don't visit as much as I used to or keep my pulse on the civics anymore so I don't know if that's convention or blue laws.
Even if you could not explain how you ride a bike, you could still reproduce it scientifically. You don't have to understand something to reproduce it, only what parameters are needed for reproducing it.

You could observe the sun rising and setting long before understanding the revolutions of our planet.

If someone can do something, you can reproduce it. That's true for bike-riding, but apparently not true for dowsing.
Well just bigger might not cut it, the biggest brain we know about already has about almost 10 kg of weight (belongs to a whale). We want better, not bigger.

You say it yourself, there was no intelligent hand involved in the creation of brains (but another process called evolution). This just supports my point that a GI system creating a better GI system to our knowledge has not yet happened.

I agree there's no mystical barrier, but maybe a conceptual: is there a limit to our cognitive capabilities that prevents us from designing something better than us? I don't know, but it hasn't been disproved yet either.

One important aspect of this system needs to be the ability for communities, not other mods or admins, to have the ability to vote to add/remove moderators of their respective communities. Otherwise, power will concentrate amongst the moderators of popular communities which will undoubtedly lead to abuse, as we have seen on Reddit.
You're wrong. These concerns, in many forms, have been present for years, however we were once instilled with the instinct to overcome, but now frailty is more valued because even in failure you can not criticize those who are less able. Those appearing less able while still managing to overcome, even when due to random chance, results in more peer accolades and ironic fanfare in the face of adversity or some other disadvantage. The privilege industrial complex continues.

Am I kidding? Please tell me I'm kidding.
I'm sure the present admin will kill it so we're forced to buy (among other things) lithium from despots and dictators.

Yes, I was trying to sell some clothing that was too expensive to ship back as a return. It was removed twice, with no details other than a vague canned message about the item being against terms (it was not).
> I guess this comes down to semantics. Paying off an old loan with a new one isn‘t ”paying off your debt“ in my eyes. You are still in debt afterwards.

In the context of meeting obligations to creditors, which is what is being discussed, it absolutely is.

> The total amount of debt will never come down again without hyperinflation.

What has fundamentally changed since the last time it did which was (checks) Q2 2019?

> Whether that is good, bad, or doesn‘t matter is up to economists. But that‘s how it is.

There is very little reason to believe that. In fact, to the extent that the debt and inflation are related, the same acts which drive the debt up drive inflation, not the other way around.
bootloop: have you tried machine zone or other popular FTP "games"?

These "games" are HIGHLY MANIPULATIVE. They use bullying, false cult inclusion, peer pressure, gambling reward ration, false emotional and time investment, and outright slot machine tactics to extract money from players.

They are worse than Las Vegas gambling by a country mile, since at least Las Vegas gambling is open and honest about the fact that the house wins and has established rules.

The social bullying that comes from "fake players" that are paid employees of the company is among the most disturbing aspect of these games. They exists to "shake down" players to upgrade with paid upgrades, to sow conflict, etc.

The rules of these "games", including the value of in-game currencies of dizzying types, is routinely nerfed/devalued at rates similar to the more comical instances of hyperinflation in the real world.

These "games" are at the extreme end of the spectrum for now. What is truly disturbing is that practically every "platform" of gaming drools over the revenue streams they produce. It is a sad dark gravity hole that is sucking the entire industry towards it. It is the depravity of capitalism in action, the almighty dollar destroys any idealism.

Aside from that, the appalling ad and currency extraction tactics used by virtually every "free to play" kids game is perhaps more distrubing, not because of the extreme tactics of the MZ games, but because the target audience is young children with demonstrably biological inability to properly regulate the addiction and investment behaviors involved.

Rather than a 10 second toy ad "hooking" a kid, you have a program that can spend an hour or more "hooking" a kid with tactics that aren't as immediately apparent to regulators in their manipulation.
Do you live in a tech hub / city? I'm living in a "rent cheaper than owning" tech city and it just seems like homes are being snapped up by DINK couples (both working in tech) who want to build a real estate portfolio. Hard as a single person trying to just get into a starter home :/

From the other side of the coin. Your employer is free loading off of you. You are paid a fraction of the amount of money that your work actually generates. If your work generates 100 dollars... you're paid 10.

So essentially your employer is fucking you and any other attitude other than to treat the situation for what it is, is delusional.

Don't call us 'people'. You're the one that doesn't get it.

Now I'm not saying you need to freeload. But I do what I'm paid to do because this is a business transaction that favors the employer. After I'm paid, I fuck off, because I just got shafted by my employer and I owe him nothing until he can pay me again. My work is only good to the point where my employer is willing to continue paying me.
I’m not a big fan of the term IC since you’re rarely delivering anything truly individually (on the average, yes there will be outliers). IMO “software engineer” is just fine as a role.
shops in the UK are STILL restricted to six hours of trading on sundays, the law was last changed in 1994[1] and the number of hours that a shop may open on a sunday is determined by the shop's size.

there are some exemptions such as airport shops, petrol or motorway service stations, etc.

the main reason there are still legal restrictions on sunday trading are advocacy groups such as "Lord's Day Observance Society" and the "Keep Sunday Special" campaign.

I've corrected the first date comparison to be ">=". Thanks for pointing that out.

>'Date("192X-XX-XX")' denotes the interval [Date("1920-01-01") ... Date("1929-12-31")]

The partial date is not the set, but a single date that is in a set. There is notation for sets of dates:

# Each means a single day in the 1920s
192X-XX-XX
[1920-01-01..1929-12-31]

Main problem is that the web is amassing complexity everyday, without ever shedding any of it.
Strong disagree. Costs open a lot of possibilities, especially when bootstrapping.

A bay area full stack developer is easily $1-200/hour. You can find one on internationally for $10-20/hr.

If you have funding, maybe that doesn't matter. If you are paying out of pocket, that is the difference between executing or not.
I'd like to rewrite this as "Why you should maybe not work so hard for
someone else". Intrinsically motivated people (you'll know what I mean
is you are one too) know no bounds to the ecstasy of work. Struggling
toward a self-defined end is like flying in the clouds. In "flow",
work is no longer work at all.

It is labour relations within a late-capitalist system of dehumanising
exploitation, over-systematisation and rampant financialisation that
turns life's greatest joy of having skills and purpose into farcical
performance art, into an inefficient, resentment-fuelled spectacle of
self-harm.
My experience lines up with yours, as a looong time Halo veteran who is a bit bummed with the state of Infinite, I'm happy to not pay a cent, despite spending thousands on Halo over the years. I've also spent a decent amount of the previous year playing Valorant, and I almost feel bad that I've paid nothing for it, but the the problem is that apparently the economists Riot employs have figured the sweet spot for selling in game items is $20+ (with many items in the 30-40 range), which is just too much for a single item for me.

The irony is that if gun skins were all $5-10, I'd probably have already spent over $100 on them. Oh well, time to queue up again and contribute nothing back.

My complaints with reddit model is:

1/ Moderators aren't always aligned with the community (see recent /r/antiwork scandal).

2/ Reddit does not pay moderators for the labor they provide. Moderation is basically a job that takes hours of time and they profit off the backs of that free labor.
