I am not sure why you are using the phrase "natural science", is there any other kind? Lets revisit with the wikipedia definition:

Science (from Latin scientia 'knowledge') is a systematic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and predictions about the universe.

That seems pretty general and all-inclusive to me. Any knowledge about humans; or societies; or the stuff human societies invent is knowledge about the universe. Because we are part of the universe.

Now, you seem to be trying to differentiate the different sciences from one another - tell us why. What's the purpose of drawing a distinction between science and (what you call) "natural science"?

I wonder if going to a top fuel drag race would have a similar effect[0]. The sound pressure levels are intense, to the level of moving one's internal organs around if one is close to the cars. It is something that has to be experienced.

If one is going for the first time, I'd recommend going to the qualifying rounds. It's often cheaper and usually less crowded. Make sure top fuel funny cars or dragsters are racing -- the lower classes are significantly quieter.

I exclusively used MSN Messenger in my elementary and high school days (which admittedly straddles 2005).

I can't say that an unbloated app like Signal is a fundamentally different experience except for some of the deficiencies that've been ironed out (better file/image sharing is one that certainly comes to mind).

I'm open to being wrong on this point though!

You know, nobody actually needs to participate in this rat race for few seconds of attention (of people you don't care about much), there are no real gains at all in it, not long term, not anything in say quality of life lived or happiness.

I used to be like that, posting 50+ albums of beautiful curated adventure photos per year (basically every weekend trips to alps, backpacking plus ie some evening climbing outdoors on mountain nearby and rest of life like concerts etc). Literally tens of thousands of photos at this point, sometimes stuff NatGeo would be happy to use. Backpacking around the world in wild places relatively few visit, always having full frame camera (+ diving cam + often gopro) with me.

I got told I should start Instagram, get followers, create 'brand' etc but never went that way since that wasn't the reason for doing it.

When first kid came, I toned down everything, stopped some things, less time to curate all those photos in lightroom. With second child, I practically stopped using camera and currently use just good phone (Samsung S22 ultra). My public photo stream basically died since I don't feel the need to share my kids/family photos, they feel much more intimate than just myself doing something cool/extreme. Close family still gets quite a few of those, but that's it.

And you know what? I am fine, I don't miss this at all, and I definitely don't miss similar feeds coming from other folks (especially if they go to some place / experience something and then for a week there are photos dripping 1 by 1 about the same single thing, I began to hate that). Actually I am more than fine, unplugging quite a bit, reversing this process, having more time for much more important matters in life.

Unplugged from quite a few social circles around those activities (but not all). So online life became similar kind of novelty you describe.
Damn. That's dark but very enlightening. Thanks.
A JSON containing the data to update a piece in the page will always be measurably smaller than the full UI, no matter how you compress it because you can compress the JSON too. If you use something that loads HTML or something like that from the server instead of reloading the whole page, congratulations you made a funny SPA.

Sure you can make outputs for multiple clients just as easily. On the traditional SPA though, you don't need to make those at all.

I think the advantages are clear at this point.

You literally called it "hiring difficulties". What's the point to argue after this?
It’s not that shocking if we take seriously the logical conclusions of a society that mediates relations between people by way of their relations to capital, i.e. capitalism.

Insofar as the domestic American economy functions as the core of a global empire, it is uniquely prone to these seemingly nonsensical conclusions. The United States is on its 4th generation into being the most unchecked industrial capitalist empire in history. I think it would actually be more surprising if we had a sensical healthcare system.
Really glad to see apps that help you explore your thoughts without feeling like productivity. This is a trend that will continue growing.

Shameless plug on an app I’m working on: Bleep (https://www.bleep.is)

Similar concept though different execution - customization + organization in a way that doesn’t feel like a productivity tool which is what I think Kinopio is aiming towards. Definitely an inspiration for me!
768MB of L3 cache. I'm excited about that, it should be possible to fit kernel / OS / application with enough left over to handle streaming data from ram.
I don’t understand how hospitals can ever expect a contract with such ambiguous terms to be valid. Contract law requires a “meeting of the minds” — if they withhold price information until after the service is performed, and the final price is orders of magnitude higher than the expectation it’s clear that hasn’t happened.

Contract law is often seen as existing to protect the seller from non-payment, but it equally exists to protect the buyer from stuff like this, and it’s absurd that these companies expect the protection of contract law without giving their customers the same benefit.

In addition, most bridge is boring as hell.

I’m sorry that’s been your experience.

If you find that most of your games are routine and entirely obvious, you might like to make sure you’re shuffling the cards properly before each deal. A classic problem particularly with social bridge is that you have a deck or two and someone just does a casual overhand shuffle or three between deals. That doesn’t mix the cards up anything like enough and tends to result in lots more bland, even deals than there ought to be with truly random shuffling.

I don’t know anything about your standard or the level of people you play with, but it’s also possible that your group tend to be very conservative bidders. If few of your auctions are competitive and usually the partnership with the stronger hands gets a free ride to a reasonable but cautious contract, it’s inevitable that you won’t face so many challenging situations in the card play stage because you’ll be under less pressure and the other side will have less information to plan their defence. If this is happening, either side could probably get much better results by being more active during the auction and so creating more challenges for their opponents and opportunities for themselves during the play.
I mean, you're probably right to an extent, but I did actually have to close stuff periodically on my old laptop with 16GB of RAM.
Possibly of interest to US folk, locally we had coal billionare Clive Palmers “United Australia Party”. The “party” was more of a marketing machine to stand against strong climate policy by taking a public position that tapped into anti-vax anti-government sentitment and ran on a tagline of “FREEDOM FREEDOM FREEDOM”.

Clive carpet bomb the Election with paid ads, daily buying ads on the cover as well as multiple full page spreads within each daily paper not to mention YouTube ads. Spending in some seats more than 200x the next candidate and drawing much inspiration from Trump 2016 tactics, but he’s so far failed to land even one seat lower or upper house.

Australia is a significant coal producer and the outgoing conservative government quietly had much alignment with Clive and the other Australian coal barrons despite weak public claims they were unaligned.

Decentralizing "money" or "currency" cannot happen unless the ownership of the same is not less concentrated than what we already have.

In the bitcoin world ownership is lot more concentrated than in the real world, which makes truly decentralizing anything else hard if not impossible.
I think it’s a bit less nefarious than that & mostly just another way to fuck over minorities & make them submissive to authority.

It isn’t too often you hear about joe average white guy getting held up in a civil forfeiture dispute. Completely innocent aside from not being white on the other hand, it comes to light every now & then.

As long as the public isn't interested in seriously considering alternative systems like Medicare for All, nothing is going to change.

There's a reason that private equity has consumed our healthcare sector: it's incredibly lucrative and inherently disadvantages both the patient and provider through vast amounts of process.

Pretty much every healthcare startup in the US is just trying to figure out how to insert itself into this endless bureaucracy and draw money out of the system while trying to add value in some way.
Leading fashion brands have network effects and it can create something like Stockholm syndrome to those who buy into it.

Also, reddit, due to the way it encourages specific niche subreddits to proliferate, inadvertently also showcases, albeit from the tag side instead of the tagged-content side, one use-case where community tagging is both necessary and canonical tags are inconsistent or nonexistent, which is the vast arena of porn, which involves attempts to categorize massive amounts of content that are frequently lacking in tags or tagged minimalistically or even erroneously by studios, and also, can involve specific preferences that aren't necessarily even considered as something that needs to be tagged until someone starts a subreddit on some really obscure aspect of a clip and then, suddenly it turns out there's a community and demand for such a tag.

Some automated tagging solutions do work on some aspects of the tag deficiencies - performers using different stage names, for example. However, just as obscenity is defined on a "I'll know it when I see it" basis, individual and perhaps previously unnamed categorizations pop up frequently enough that there's no realistic way to anticipate every future community tag that may come about. There's also inconsistencies as to how currently-used tags are defined, and even in the generally more centralized and almost over-specific niches of the industry in Japan, with consistent and unique product codes for reference, you still don't get a single consistent studio tag system, even for their domestic mainstream market. And language certainly factors into all this, as well as culture. It's already evident that some tags translate and some simply don't, either because there is no word for it in the other language, or the categorization loses some aspect of cultural significance in the translation process that makes it end result valid but also nonsensical. Some degree of community curation to augment even a relatively consistent, centralized, and comprehensive canonical source.

There are a few projects on Github that are hashing out compatible systems for at least the English language (and it appears that projects in Korean and Chinese exist too, also on Github). This is definitely an arena that is organic, disorganized, and even if in the future can mostly be automated, will always have room for community curation, and is actually actively being worked out and evolving in real time. Tags, or community curation at large, will likely persist as content, the market, culture, CV/classification tech, and mores change as time goes on. Definitely not dying.

It should be noted that the DOJ started phasing out private prisons last year, and most states don't have any significant number of people in private prisons: https://www.sentencingproject.org/publications/private-priso.... Additionally, the prisons folks tend to hear about in terms of abuses, like Rikers in NY, are good old public prisons.
These kind of overly simplified comparisons are tired and doesn't help anyone. Healthcare billing is insane yes but is not same as buying groceries.
Search for 'credit card down' and you'll see very widespread reports of machines being down at Lowes, Shoprite, Taco Bell, Starbucks, Circle K, Home Depot, Whole Foods are just a few of the brands I've seen multiple twitter users mention, and the places being mentioned are across the country.

The Toast system is down, too.

Lots of people tweeting at company brands complaining that they can't accept cards. Lots of exasperated retail workers, too.

"lightbulb" and "lightning" both start with the same 5 letters, and no one confuses those.

I just think, in general, people could be better at naming things.
Yeah. Though I know a lot of lawyers who migrated into non-law positions after a few years, including politics (also usually for a few years depending on their leanings and the climate--e.g. White House) but also a variety of other things. As you say, there are also a variety of corporate legal positions including government affairs and the like in addition to straight law jobs.
Covering their costs is a bs framework. Hospitals are de facto partnerships run for the benefit of certain insider employees. Their “costs” are whatever the market will bear paid to those same employees.

Ditto for universities.
Product Review: Corel's NetWinder (1999)
In the U.S., insurance would reimburse upwards of $100k to hospital for this procedure.

The same procedure in Germany would cost $20-$30k.

I guess that's why some insurance companies are paying for medical tourism.
They don’t have to play this game. For reference, see most other countries who have taken the slightly more enlightened step of a socialised healthcare system.
Which part do you think is absurd? It looks like they used the 10,000 number from the NBER paper as the numerator and the crypto.com estimate of 114M people with Bitcoin as the denominator to come up with the 0.01% figure [1].

One note when using this for form validation. If you have a multi-column unique index Phoenix will show the error for the field defined first in the constraint in the schema definition. This has tripped me up a couple of times for user input where the constraint is something like tag+post_id. If your form just has the tag input and you put post_id as the first item in the constraint the changeset will be invalid but no error will show.

So happy to see tarot games mentioned on HN, I'm a big fan of their strategic depth and centuries-old cultural background.

Something a lot of people don't realise is that when tarot cards were invented, their intended purpose was to be a game. The whole divination/cartomancy aspect was made up much more recently, mostly to amuse French aristocrats.

An excellent resource for people interested in learning more about this very old tradition is the following YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiCFfp_ZY4g

I do not want kids, ever (I'm 34 going on 35 soon), but OP is absolutely correct about this:

> It should be a choice. Abortion should be legal, de-stigmatized, safe and easy to access.

> We can afford, as a society, to make it a little easier on babies and new parents.

It's not right that many states and countries criminalize abortion because "think of the children", and it's also not right that parenting is So. Fucking. Expensive.

~~Why does day care cost two Model S financed loans per month for many people? Why are diapers and formula so unbelievably expensive when they've probably recovered their R&D costs several times over?~~ Why are parents forced to be in the office when their jobs do not require it but their kids require _them_?

EDIT: I can't strikethrough stuff on HN but I realized that daycares and COGS for baby stuff makes sense to be pricey. I don't understand leadership teams calling people back into the office despite stable or increasing productivity numbers, especially leaders that are parents themselves.
But here's the thing...it could be made to be that simple.

The way I see it, Firefox's reputation for craftsmanship is unearned. The only time it crosses my desk as a site developer is people filing browser-specific bug reports for it. Its engine does not, in general, benchmark as performant as either Chrome's or Safari's on our site. It's certainly not beating them by enough percentage points for me to suggest people switch to it for performance.

Mozilla has had more time to work on this problem space than their competitors, and they don't have the technical advantage to show for it. They may have been the technologically better choice in the Browser Wars era of Internet Explorer, but nowadays? They're falling down on the technical merits, not just the network effects.

It's free and it's widely available. If they were better than the alternatives more people would switch to them but they're not.
