Algorithmically designed movies are pretty good though.

Every Pixar movie is exactly the same, and they're all great. It's a good formula. My problem with movies is that they're built for two many audiences. Pick China xor America, and the will be more enjoyable to watch
Wanting to make sure no group is discriminated is against and everyone has equal opportunity hardly makes someone a bad person.
The problem with Urbit used to be that each node was permanently bound to a single parent and "lords" had too much control over their "subjects", including things like kicking them out of the Urbitverse. That was changed so AFAIK it's no longer a concern. Most P2P systems are completely different because nodes can use any relay and relaying is separate from identity.
adding more resources won't help unless you're resource constrained. CPU Cores and thread are also resources.

So no. You'd probably see more improvement from a CDN.
This is not to be confused with Decision problems which is a class of problems that have a boolean output.
This is implemented in ML[1]?

First no-kidding application I've seen in that language.

Literally the NFT argument
Externally, America had never looked as united as America has liked to project. Segregation, Jim Crow laws, "No Irish, no Italians" signs in windows, rife religious sectarianism and a law enforcement system with a long history of directed violence.

It probably seems like America is getting divided more starkly, but to outsiders its just more of the same from a country that had a civil war over slavery. It waxes and wanes but it never really goes away.
>Are you unaware of churches excommunicating Galileo for daring to scholarly research into the earth rotating around the sun?

Your point is good but this is a pet peeve of mine. Galileo was not punished by the church for saying the earth orbits the sun. Galileo was indicted and punished by the church because he was a local elite with several personal and political enemies within the church, and more directly, because he slighted the pope, his former friend, by taking a philosophical argument made by said pope, and putting it, paraphrased, into the mouth of a character in his book who was named "simplicio" and cast as a moron. That pope literally gave him permission to publish his claim that the earth orbited the sun, a claim which Galileo did not make based on science, but instead made because he felt the resulting (incorrect and based on outdated observations) mathematical model for the orbits of planets was more "elegant".

If the church truly wanted to punish him, they would not have sentenced him to literally stay at home in a beautiful villa and write books all day. His official charge was that lay people are not allowed to interpret the scripture, which he did a bit in his book. The church did not care if you made mathematical or scientific arguments about how the world worked. They only cared that you leave theology to the priests.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm.

Most of my friends have no idea what Tor is. Many don't know the Pirate Bay, and most of those who know bittorrent haven't configured it to get past their firewall.

But you know what they do know? Turning the TV on, going to Roku, searching for a movie/show, and watching it in whatever app Roku suggests.
How much money do you make per movie ? Honest question
> billionaire

I think you meant 'person of means'?
Lot of things are illegal but still happen everyday. The violation has to be known to lawmakers and they have to have the will and resources to enforce the penalty. That's not the case here.
LatinX is complicated. If (white person) corrects someone of hispanic origin that using the word latino is offensive and they should use latinx - I've gotten some pushback. It may be best to just let the folks who care about getting to Latinx hash it out themselves. I've started seeing folx as well instead of folks. Was curious about the offensiveness of folks?
What if the blood collectors just find a way to filter out PFAs so they don’t get into your donation and they collect a pure sample, and overtime you just keep saturating your blood with PFAs through constant donations? No thanks.
I believe you're describing MyPy? http://mypy-lang.org/
There's a pretty wide gap between the "older Millennials" and the "younger Millennials" which I would assume is what they were trying to address by using "Gen Y" to refer to the younger ones. Although I've never heard that before.
Almost all of the things you listed as acceptable hobbies are looked down upon at least in my social circle and I'd argue in general. Reality TV is a guilty pleasure even among fans, gambling and drinking are clearly vices, fantasy sports can involve gambling and even if it doesn't it's seen as a pretty nerdy thing to be into.

The only hobbies that aren't looked down upon are things that involve creation instead of consumption or are major class signifiers really (Opera, skiing, etc).
> Forced arb was supposed to make things better. Do we have any evidence that it does, and for whom?

The primary goal is for businesses to escape accountability under the legal system, and I'm sure it does or they would stop pushing this nonsensical crap. And like always, if only individuals could similarly limit their liability in such ways, we would need a lot less insurance!

The only thing that would redeem arbitration is getting rid of mandatory arbitration. There is no problem with the possibility of being able to assent to binding arbitration once you've got a dispute, if both parties think it's beneficial. The problem is companies forcing these terms onto us ahead of time via the fallacy of contract, allowing to arbitration industry to function with perverse incentives.
In general it’s also a problem with what is considered diverse. If you’re a white man from a poor family with no college education, the policy is to explicitly discriminate against you. If you’re a white woman from an upper middle class background, you’re considered diverse and given advantages despite the fact that you could have gone into any field you wanted, could probably afford to switch on a whim, and don’t have to worry about things like family members potentially dying because they can’t afford their insulin.
I think Arcane is probably the worst scripted show I've ever watched. It makes me immediately skeptical of ratings. My only hypothesis is that everyone enjoying it has never read a book.
There is at Amazon, it gets brought up as a code violation while we’re doing security and other kinds of reviews

I’ve mostly cleansed myself of these words while I’m at work but I generally let the shit fly once Im out of the setting

I just look at it like any other corporate politics, you have to play along to get anywhere

Outside of work I’m my own person and use any word I want. Retard, cripple, bum, idiot, motherboard, man, master, slave, fuck, shit, piss!

See! Fire me Amazon I fucking dare you! :)
I think they've over-interpreted their viewing data. Seems like they concluded that viewers spend most of their time watching garbage filler, which is probably true. But they shouldn't presume that each viewing hour is equal to the next.

I'll watch some garbage on streaming. But I'll make subscription choices based on flagship shows since everyone has garbage filler content.
I do not have a "catch-all"; I have a single domain which I set up a separate email address for each correspondent, which I must manually add to /etc/aliases to accept mail at that address; anything send to an address not listed there will be rejected.

I do not think I ever received any spam.
For the record, it works fine with Google’s DNS.
No, it's not. If I pay for a movie, but I then download it from The Pirate Bay, it's still piracy, but nobody loses anything.

I recently went over my media collection and did some conservative guesstimation of my spending over the last 20 years. I've paid over 6 figures to consume various sorts of media.

I have absolutely zero moral or ethical qualms with downloading and/or pirating content I've already paid for. I don't give a flying fuck if the copyright holder doesn't like the means by which I get the content. The studios and copyright lobby and mafiaa are not good faith operators.

Piracy is not theft. Sometimes it's ethical and justified.

I WANT to pay. I want to give a streaming service money to curate, deliver, and maintain a library of high quality content. The industry doesn't want that to be possible, because it interferes with the bad-faith rentseeking games played with royalties and residuals. I'm done playing pretend, and will happily Pirate even new content I haven't paid for.

I will pay when there's the opportunity for good faith commerce. I'll buy discs and files directly where possible.
This isn't unique to SV. There are plenty of examples of words and behaviours that were commonplace and then over time evolved to be unacceptable to use in polite company.

I'd like to give some examples, but I fear I'd end up swiftly banned for even using some of the best examples.

One interesting case is "idiots, imbeciles and morons" - once technical terms to describe a mental health scale. The 'most insulting' end of the scale is now probably the most acceptable word to use in public!
It looks like a great SEO woke language sells, whether you like it or not, especially the latter
Except for the decades of documentation, blog posts, etc. that will now cause confusing to newcomers.
I would rather see work done on something more useful than new syntax for typing.
This is what I thought, but the rest of the discussion is way outside my knowledge, so I can't tell what I'm missing.

Can someone explain how is this x86's fault?

Ridiculous. You can buy an M1 Mac mini for $699 (MSRP) and often for $599 from resellers. To develop a Mac or iOS app, you need a Mac, so you're not spending more.

Hobbyists? I spend $700/year to have access to a maker space. I spend that much on woodworking tools annually (if not more). Hobbyist doesn't mean free.
It's also the textbook from Stanford course AA228/CS238. Haven't taken it but definitely looks interesting.

You're confusing things a bit.

Item 1) 'nor reason to charge extra for Netflix'.

Of course there is a reason: QoS. You neighbour might want a low-latency, high bandwidth service that doesn't worry about packet loss. You might want a service which is better for downloads: no worries about latency, medium speed, no packet loss.

Different prices for different services.

Also - Netflix may choose to subsidize their service i.e. you don't even need an ISP bill with Netflix - it comes with the package.

2) Netflix, Debian, you and your neighbour are all paying different kinds of bills for different kinds of things. If Netflix's deal is that they get massive fast service until a certain threshold, after which their service is degraded ... when then users will see that degradation at their end.

What cannot happen is ISPs arbitrarily charging Netflix more for no reason, or charging for different kinds of content.

Everyone pays for a 'pipe' with different characteristics, ideally without price discrimination (i.e. if you want the same pipe as Netflix then you pay the same prices ass them), and that's that.
Right, I wasn't implying that I should be in the demographic or anything of the sort. I don't use TikTok either, none of my friends do, but I've heard it mentioned a zillion times (in the media, IRL conversations, etc) in the past year. Same with other big social platforms: reddit, youtube, discord, facebook, instagram, telegram, and so on. Snapchat? nada, I've heard nothing. So it comes as a surprise to me to hear that it's alive and growing, which prompted my question.
It's the only social media I actively use.
During my career, I've seen enough discrimination in the name of DEI as well. But what bothers me more is the ageism. The number of times an old person has been rejected from a job is too damn high. The reasons have always been "he may not work well with young people", "seniority complex", "he is over qualified" etc. Most of the times, they were more than qualified. I fear when I am into 40s or 50s, I will face the same discrimination.
Autopilot envy?
For a new build or serious renovation with complete rewiring, this is mostly a solved problem.

The Shelly pro 4pm installs in the electric wiring cabinet. It speaks MQTT standard messaging across wired ethernet, but it can also integrate with Shelly's cloud thingies. It's a smart, standards based drop in replacement for ordinary "dumb" AC teleruptor/impulse relay star topology wiring.
Fully agree. When I watched The Boys, which was highly rated and marked as a comedy on IMDB, I was honestly disturbed by all the blood and gore. And there wasn't anything funny in it.

Comedy and Satire should be different categories. And we should split 18+ into "18+ because of violence" and "16+sex".
Hi! I work at https://www.qboxmail.com

We would love to be able to send push notification to native apple Mail app for our users but we never wrapped our head around the whole certificate thing. (And Apple was... unhelpful).

Would love to have support on this! Are you available?

Skateboarding.
https://movielens.org/ is the best one I've used so far. I find it almost creepy how good it predicts how I'll rate a movie.
It's tangential, but "Where Wizards Stay Up Late: The Origins of the Internet" by Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon is one of my favorite books on the foundations of the Internet.
Sure if you believe it. We also don't speak to each other to cater to people who are deaf, and we don't use sign language to cater to people who are blind.
Wow. Thank you very much. Any advise for noobs?
I believe ads are fundamentally immoral. (Moral ads are theoretically possible, but in practice I almost never see ads which have the purpose of informing rather than emotionally manipulating. Ads destroy culture, make viewers less happy, and waste time).

The fact that they drew a line in the sand is why I have brand loyalty. If they cross that line, I'll no longer be "supporting a company bringing a moral perspective on content delivery" and turn off autorenew: just pick up a month or two a year.
I'm allergic to carbon.

Virtue signaling fatigue... Many of us are feeling it.
Yes.

That is the operating rules, because Russia isn't competent to do anything else, but even they can attach an apartment block.
It is nonsense, e.g. veterinary sciences are heavily female-dominated. Academia is female-dominated except for the STEM fields but even those disciplines are starting to become so. Here in Sweden middle and higher local government is female-dominated. Meanwhile mining, off-shore and garbage collection are male-dominated, to name a few fields which could be termed 'unappealing'.

First-wave feminists had a point. Second-wave and third-wave feminists are just belligerent searchers-for-trouble who have done more harm than good.
Absolutely do not do this. There is massive brigading that happens and the folks pushing the "anti-isms" are very very focused on this stuff. You will get on a list as some type of abuser / racist. Everyone knows to keep heads down on this stuff at a place like google or just find somewhere else to work. It really doesn't matter if you are liberal in all other ways even.
Internet provider may be throttling you on purpose. Do they sell TV as well?
"for Linux", just add that in the title.

We shouldn't need to scroll through pages of text to figure that out.
Something I heard once that has always stuck with me: "They can take everything from you except your contempt."

The idea is when so much of our agency is stripped from us, often the last thing we can hold onto—which we hold onto tightly because it is the last thing—is comtempt. You can crush me under your boot. You can make me sing the party's songs. But you can't make me believe them. You may own my body but not my mind.

We in the US are living in a time of deep cynicism and distrust of all of the institutions Americans used to hold dear. The degree to which that distrust is misplaced is an open question but the distrust itself is unequivocal.

I look at the current culture of anti-heroes and dark superheroes as a reaction to that. We are so distrustful of anyone or thing claiming to be good that a brightly-colored positive superhero today would earn only contempt from us. We'd assume it must be a deceitful facade.

All that leaves us is morally corrupted dark anti-heroes that are least openly flawed and whose contempt for the other institutions of justice mirrors our own.
The black family was only endangered because of those very same people who wrote all sorts of asinine rules for the social safety net programs that penalized stable households, penalized married couples and penalized above the table jobs.

Were they poor? Sure. Were they marginalized? You bet. But the single mother, the child without a father figure and the idle black man were not serious issues, let alone stereotypes, until after people tried to "help" them.
Ask HN: Database of Food by Ingredients?
Is anyone aware of any websites where foods are catalogued by their ingredients?

Let's say I love bananas, so I want to search for other foods that have bananas or banana flavouring as an ingredient.
Yes, it's unfortunate that two somewhat different fields have such similar sounding names. "Decision Theory" (or "Decision Science") vs "Decision Procedures" (or "Decision Problems"). But what can one do?
Main is better. Master/slave has uncomfortable connotations. This one isn't a big deal.
Most people whom I know - do fishing as a hobby in local lake or something similar - actually return the fish to the Pond/Lake after catching it. There is no food to be had from these activities.I am not saying that is what parent's grandad did but just a data point.

Also interesting are mentions of the development of new «key film materials... of polyimide (PI), including PI paste and transparent PI roll film. The high temperature resistance of yellow-brown PI paste can be used in LTPS process, suitable for replacing glass as TFT circuit substrate material, with low expansion and shrinkage and bending resistance; transparent PI roll film has optical grade penetrability and is flexible, an indispensable functional thin film material for the touch control process». These new materials are not just for EPD displays but also «PMOLED, AMOLED, OLED Lighting, liquid crystal displays, touch modules, digital X-ray films (DR) and thin film solar cells and other products».
I think a lot of people have become conditioned to monthly subscriptions that they don't need to think about. But, especially if you're more into films than TV shows, there's something to be said for cutting back on subscriptions and buying/renting a la carte. Netflix still even has their DVD by mail option although the back catalog isn't nearly as good as it used to be.
The tasks aren't arbitrary. They're meant to be a proxy for some universal concept of competence. That's why DK is a well known effect, it claims to hold true for anything even though they can't test every possible task.

> we presented participants with tests that assessed their ability in a domain in which knowledge, wisdom, or savvy was crucial: humor (Study 1), logical reasoning (Studies 2-and 4), and English grammar (Study 3).

They picked humor because they think it reflects "competence in a domain that requires sophisticated knowledge and wisdom". They then realized the obvious objection - it's subjective - and decided to do the logical reasoning task to try and rebut those complaints (but then why do the first experiment at all?):

> We conducted Study 2 with three goals in mind. First, we wanted to replicate the results of Study 1 in a different domain, one focusing on intellectual rather than social abilities. We chose logical reasoning, a skill central to the academic careers of the participants we tested and a skill that is called on frequently ... it may have been the tendency to define humor idiosyncratically, and in ways favorable to one's tastes and sensibilities, that produced the miscalibration we observed-not the tendency of the incompetent to miss their own failings. By examining logical reasoning skills, we could circumvent this problem by presenting students with questions for which there is a definitive right answer.

So logical reasoning was chosen because:

1. It's objective.

2. It's an important skill.

3. It's a general "intellectual" skill.

That makes it very important if it's actually a good test of logical reasoning. If it was truly an arbitrary test like an egg-and-spoon-race or something, then there's no reason to believe the results would generalize to other areas of life and nobody would care.
The reason DIY is "bad" is the time investment that comes with it, and the fact that all good systems required a lot of bespoke work, which means there's a skill gap too.

Home automation, when it works, is great. If you don't have the time & skill to do it yourself, the cost of having somebody do it well for you is prohibitive unless you're in a fairly high income demographic.

And that's the problem with DIY - it's an indicator of a niche audience, not an inherent "badness".
Lets be honest - during the middle ages, most Roman coins were re-minted. That is melted, combined with base metals and re-struck often with curiously confused images. If the smith hadn't seen a good image but just the worn coins in circulation for centuries, they could have amusing interpretations of what the coin 'should' have on it.

Yes this was all counterfeiting and was largely illegal. A frequently found tool in middle ages dwellings was counterfeiting dies left behind because they were either hidden and forgotten, or not safe to travel with and get arrested.

Really? You mean this without any sarcasm? I don't know if you've heard but individual freedom is a basic principle on which modern society is based.

Basically, what I (or anyone else, for that matter) do with my body, property (incl. correspondence), and my thoughts is absolutely none of anyone's business - as long as I'm not getting in your way or limiting your freedom. And no, you're the one who needs to provide a strong enough argument for why privacy matters less than your need to know.

Individual liberty is the default and you're the one to provide a strong argument for why it should be done away with.

History teaches us that people who start poking their noses into what everyone is doing it never ends well.
