In a local context, many kinds of "social networks" or spaces to share things with other people from the same area, specially related to art and culture. Also many local associations organizing events could use unique identities to make it easier to make reserves for events with food, races, slots in talks, concerts, etc. Many other kinds of specific applications are also possible. You could even organize games and augmented reality activities much more easily if people didn't have to create accounts for everything, we had an easy way to verify that a human is trying to use the service... and even more if we could verify some info like "this person is from this area" (though there are some workarounds for that). Mostly, use tech to reivindicate public space, which public administrations have a tendency to mismanage as if it was their own private space (lack of vision is typically also an issue). There are many other ways to do similar things, but that's what I had in mind when I talked about democratization.
Yep, this so much.

Working for somebody else, where I have little stake in the company? I won't just put in the bare minimum to not get fired, but I also won't work absurd hours, especially on a salary.

My own stuff? I'm ready for the 40 (job) + 60 (my own projects) work week!

For reference, I'm very young and no where close to having a family.
By this logic you don't control anything in your life, as your choices are always defined by your past and experiences. I think it's very fair to assume room for free will in a discussion like this.
Ask HN: If you could only play one game, what would it be?
This occurred to me after reading two posts[1][2] I found here.

It's interesting how the authors looked at games as ways of enhancing real-life skills (instead of purely entertainment).

For example, one post talks about using Poker to learn how to calculate odds and deal with imperfect information, which mimics real life better than a perfect information game like chess.

This sent me down the rabbit hole of looking for what types of benefits different games provide.

I found one cool paper[3] that shows first-person shooters enhance attentional capacity, distributed attention, and speed of attentional processing (even when compared to another game like Tetris).

So I wonder if you could only pick one game, what would it be and why? :P (this could be classical board games like chess or Monopoly, all the way to more modern games like Civ or a FPS)

A very à propos clip from a french TV-show about the cultural differences between France and the U.S wrt lunch: https://youtu.be/EAyQfctnWqw?t=93

Not at all surprised to see people here framing a law supporting workers' rights as an infringement on personal liberties. Comparing the work cultures of both countries, it's clear Americans will defend their personal liberties right into servitude.
"They just had a few firearms" is a weird way of downplaying things.
This is an article about Chudnovsky brothers building a homemade super computer to compute pi. It is crazy how our phones are 1500 times more powerful than their supercomputer. It is also crazy how they were able build a homemade super computer in the early 90s with prices of components and less availability of computing.
I think a better idea might be the semver followed by the git short code. That way you get the benefit of API semantics plus a hash for build repeatability. The date is not that important.

And btw the word "inherit" in the first sentence should be "inherent."

Why not just put a daily block on your calendar during your lunch hour? It seems pretty bizarre to require everyone to take their break at the exact same time, instead of when it makes the most sense for them
I frankly don’t see a significant difference between 1 and 3. I do prefer snake case, but it is such an insignificant change that probably the IDE color scheme is an order of magnitude more meaningful.
Any place open to the public with stairs will still have to meet disability accommodation law and have an alternate, accessible means to reach the higher floor, like an elevator.

While I dislike the design, it’s generally not going to be at the cost of those with physical disabilities.
I wouldn't say "you can't see through these stairs". It looks like the glass itself is transparent (ie. it's not frosted or anything), but there's some sort of reinforcing mesh that partially obscures it.
I've seen similarly flavored incorporation structures with crypto hedge funds, where there's a management firm LLC incorporated onshore, and a holdco offshore where any of the funds flow is happening -- the advantage there being that one can trade on any of the major exchanges without being tied to US regs.

Very interesting to see similar structures with crypto startups as they launch protocols/foundation tokens. I guess the commonalities have to do with the treasury aspects, right?

This is becoming a distraction and we're getting lots of complaints about it. Many users have been emailing us (in keeping with the site guidelines).

I need to ask you to stop doing this, because (1) this posting pattern is not consistent with intellectual curiosity; (2) accounts should not be shared by more than one person; (3) I have to say, that story doesn't seem entirely plausible to me.

Forgive me if I'm misjudging this, but our experience with this usage pattern is that it tends to be associated with various kinds of scheme, ranging from relatively innocent to bannably abusive, so my pattern matcher is going 'I don't really buy that'. However, if your account really is just being shared by a group of people who all do a mindless job that runs 24 hours a day, all of whom are finding old successful HN threads to repost as a way to fulfill some mechanical job requirement, I still need to ask you to stop, because that's not in the spirit of the site. No repetitive-predictable pattern is.

You're a good user otherwise, but please stop.
Health minister: Unexplained high death counts in New Brunswick concerning

Itching for a fight? I don’t think I need data because my argument is a=b because a=b. People who do t think they need to change don’t think they need to change. People who do think they need to change do think they need to change. I’m open to the possibility that Mthese categories don’t exis. They are certainly not binary and not persistent over time. A person who didn’t need to change could become a person who does think they need to change and give versa. But maybe I’m completely wrong and there’s only one type of person I. This world, the type who knows all their faults.

It’s also subjective, what person A sees as one category or the other person B sees as the opposite

At some point this becomes an argument of “what is free will” and I don’t think we have the time to answer that one.
You don't understand the point.. They don't work those hours.

Surprised by the click-baitiness of this title from Ars. Seems like the old Arstechnica is a fading memory.
I wasn't trying to be harsh on the author. I thought about this late last night and decided that the easiest way to explain the error could be that the author was employed by Physics World to compose interesting articles in layman's terms and that the author does not have a technical background and those persons at Physics World who were supposed to proof-read this work dropped the ball.

In checking the byline you can see that the author is a freelancer and if you follow the link to their site you can see that they do a lot of technical writing for multiple publications on a variety of subjects. It is possible that they had a tight deadline for article submission, more articles to write, etc so that this one was dumped to the machine just in time for publication but without enough time for a good review that would've spotted this slight error.
Regarding consciousness: we don't know how consciousness is implemented in the brain, that's true, but we might be able to implement it quite easily in a computer.

I'm not sure if there is definition of consciousness everyone agree on, but let's try something: consciousness is the ability to perceive our own thoughts.
Consciousness matters a lot because it allows reflexiveness. Sometimes we use it as scientific definition of "soul" as in sentences like: "upload your consciousness" (from believers of Singularity)

Decartes' "I think therefore I am" should be rephrase as "I perceive I think therefore I am"

The perception of own thoughts is not something difficult for a computer. Just check the activity monitor or run the ps command.

We might a attribute too much importance to consciousness because without it we don't know we think.
There's precedent in some sections of the United States that down in a drone with a shotgun is legal. But it is not national president, and as far as I'm aware it hasn't been tried in a densely populated area.

I completely agree that in general, discharging a firearm in an urban environment would probably constitute far more risk than the drone.
There were multiple groups of people there with different levels of involvement, different motivations, and different objectives. Proud Boys stashed weaponry at a hotel in case Trump invoked the Insurrection Act. They were, in their words, happy to have the "normies" beating up a few "pigs", while they executed their coordinated seditious conspiracy, a conspiracy that they believed, in their own words, that they were coordinating with Trump. Proud Boys, stand back and stand by. Come January 6th, its going to be wild. These same Proud Boys gave VIP security to Roger Stone. Michael Flynn calling for invoking the resurrection act and invoking emergency powers to "rerun" the election; Flynn meeting with Trump for hours without WH lawyers present days before Jan 6.

It is not plain and simple.
Well from my understanding the core problem is the statistical models used to calculate their probability were completely wrong.

So we had “hard” math “proving” they were once-in-a-million-years unlikely, and that lasted until we had overwhelming observational evidence to the contrary (in this case buoy data)
'Living in fear' is such a charged, politicized statement. Can you dissect what you mean by it?

For me, testing before I visit my elderly parents isn't a decision made of fear - it's a basic precaution I can take, causes me no more than 5-10 mins of extra effort, and costs nothing to me (a privileged position provided by employer-subsidized insurance, of course). Is this fear making decisions on my behalf? Is this pragmatism prompted by fear?

there is a joke that says: it's useless to raise children, they just copy their parents anyways.

so consciously parenting really means being consciously aware of my own behavior and what i model for my kids, because that is what they will learn. and being aware how my own childhood affects my own behavior is a big part of that.

I'm sorry, didn't find anything strange. Which link and what happens?
I didn't assume anything. Everything in my original post was a question. The point wasn't that any one of those hypotheticals was real, just that you can't account for all of the downsides to treating your employees like toddlers.

If you need to take 10-minute screenshots while your company only has 6 people, you've got the wrong 6 people and you're going to fail. At that stage you can't afford to have anyone who isn't pulling their weight.

If you're taking 10 minute screenshots with six people and don't need to do so, you're still going to fail, but it will be because you drove away your founding team.

My sister worked at a bank in northern France in the mid nineties, she found it hard that all her coworkers went home for lunch, and her apartment was too far from the office and on her income eating at a bistro couldn't be a daily thing. So the rosy picture of amiable lunches doesn't always apply
Sure, and if that happened between two non-aggressor nations in international waters, it would change the calculus for everyone involved.

But it hasn't happened and it would make the Americans look profoundly trigger happy to first strike on a simple observation drone that's privately owned.

How difficult is it to transition from Computer Science to Biomedics? Particularly towards the field of Genomics (where CRISPR is).
This silly notion that there has only ever been a single form of slavery, and that there's no point in discussing any other than what occurred in America in a specific time period is so very harmful.

I understand why the topic at large is a sensitive one, and more for some than others. That doesn't mean I'll be overly concerned with someone who responds to such an analogy with some variation of "I have no time for you".
And then about Exim4 vs Postfix
> I don't see how this nature vs nurture debate ever became a thing. Smells like leftover thinking from racism or something. IMO the only debate should be around which aspects of the nurture environment are the most important.

Agreed, this argument (#3) is all the proof we need for quite a few of the social debates we’re still having, including race. Gender equality is another one, people to this day suggesting that gender disparities might be due to “natural” preferences of men and women, while those preferences are in flux and different from country to country. It cannot be genetics, obviously, because genetics isn’t changing that fast. Too bad our human nature is such that we don’t always listen to reason. I would maybe add a 1a to clarify that human behavior has changed over the past 10k years, and using this lens is a good way to identify that behaviors that change are almost certainly nurture.

France is more productive per capita (edit: the reference I found was from 2009, France is currently slightly less productive than the US per capita[1]) and has a higher quality of life than the US. Consider improving your mental model and recognizing you are not as well off and productive as you believe. Japanese workers spend a lot of time at their desks too, but not that productive! Data > emotions, work to live don’t live to work, all that jazz.

The Variety article (and the Twitter image) are short on details. It would be revealing to see exactly what Travis posted to get himself banned.
Why would it continue to function if divided up? The latency between components has now increased dramatically and you've also introduced new attack surfaces (those devices get their power from some electricity substation which can be shut down... same for their wireless networking).
Okay, but you can see how “this happens daily” is a pretty effective rebuttal to the “this would never happen” argument.

And, yes, I would say that women having to daily deal with creepy behavior does pain me, and I think it should bother any person.

And I’m deeply suspicious of any person that thinks it’s not a problem worth thinking about and working to improve.
Dang. Contrary anecdata.

>Stuff like panel widths resizing just because I clicked "customize,"

This can be finicky, I can confirm.

>widgets vanishing when I tried to drag them onto panels

Widgets are also finicky. I don't use them. But they're niche KDE things that you don't really have on other DEs anyway, so I don't count it as diminishing KDE as compared to other DEs. :p

I've never used OpenSUSE, but, for what it's worth, I had tons of KDE crashes years ago when I used Ubuntu. I never had any on Manjaro or Arch, and I've used them for a few year now. My diagnosis there is that the rolling release model is paradoxically better than the point release model in terms of DE stability. I think that's the reason that KDE Neon is a thing (rolling DE updates atop regular Ubuntu). Tumbleweed is apparently a rolling release, though, so Iunno.
These sorts of measurements aren't done on the basis of one person eyeballing some pictures or making observations about the weather around them.

You are to focused on the text of law, instead of the actual implications for the person needing a abortion.

If you look at the actual law: https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/BJNR001270871.html#B...

It boils down to (per paragraph):

(1) if you follow the right procedure (consulting, 3 days waiting then decision, done by doctor, no more then 12 weeks) it basically doesn't count as a crime (practically it's in a semi state between crime and not crime due to the constitutional court ruling you mentioned, it's anyway clear cut something you can not be convicted/pursed for, which is all that matters).

(2) if there are serve medical issues abortion is not against the law. This paragraph can theoretically apply to some cases of rape victims as it does explicitly mention mental medical issues/damage additional to physical issues.

(3) explicitly/automatically makes 2 apply to rape victims through only up to 12 weeks (since getting pregnant, not since the last period). Doesn't mean it can't apply post 12 weeks.

(4) the person having the aborting can not be punished if the abortion was done by a doctor and no more then 22 weeks passed (the doctor might be punished thou), if the person was pressured into it the judge can decide to not punish even if they normally would need to.

So what does that mean

- no the government is not involved, you never have to ask the government, only doctors

- yes post 12week there is no automatic exception, but you still do not need to ask the government a doctor is enough

- through theoretically a court case could be pushed to decide if the decision of the doctor was correct and paragraph 2 does apply to a rape victim in a post 12 week abortion so the best way to avoid that is to make sure its very clear that it's the case before doing the abortion, the lead to the common practice of getting two doctors to agree with the abortion (one of which isn't involved in the abortion in any other way). Even better (but not required!) would be to get the agreement of a state doctor (which is I guess where the idea of needing government approval comes from). Through saying a "state doctor" is part of the government is very very misleading, technically true trough. But their role is more like "doctors the government believes are competent and trust". I.e. their medical decisions are still independent from the government.

And sure this can be improved by a lot.

But then at least harassment of people going for a abortion is neither common nor tolerated in Germany (but seems to be common in parts of the US). Similar there is no in general no "attack" against doctors which do abortions, nodded of abortions as reasonable in Germany. Which from what I have heard happens in some US states often enough to be called systematic.

In the end for any conclusion I guess you would need to speak with people having gone through abortions (in various contexts/circumstances/US states/German states etc.).

PS: Depending on when you start counting the 12 weeks here might also be referred to as 14 weeks.
