Animal trials usually involve a ethics committee. The big problem is that outside of mathematical/computer experiments, it is almost impossible to do medical testing in an ethical way. With exception to experiments done on brain dead (which still involve some measure of uncertainty), on who or what should test be conducted on. In the past we used war criminals or criminals sentenced to death, but that has an obviously ethically problem. We could use military recruits that volunteers, or poor people who would volunteer in exchange for monetary compensation, but how well understand is the consent and how ethical is it use people like that? We could use patients who are out of options, but how ethical is it to exploit people who has no realistic choices?

It is hard to view animal testing as anything else than cruelty to animals. I can only hope that it was there was no other options, and that they indeed got anaesthetised.

(Someone here mentioned experiments in breathing in oxygen-rich perfluorocarbons that used navy recruits. I have seen discussions about how much those consent should actually count considering the power balance and hierarchical culture that exist in the military).
Don't worry, they will just ask their next interview candidate and then they'll have the solution.
Hong Kong was leased by the British for 99 years (lease terms were set after British beat Chinese in opium wars, giving British drug dealers the right to sell opium to Chinese citizens). After 99 years, China was strong enough where British couldn’t reasonably renege on lease or force new terms, so they gave it back to China.

I looked for some decent (non-partisan) sources on this [1] and was surprised that the number was so "small" in the US (given how large the industry is): $21bn. But about $290bn worldwide, down from $500bn in 2013. So they're on the downward trend which is promising.

Whenever we see the multi trillion dollar numbers, they are counting "implicit" subsidies to me feels a bit more vague. I'm not sure how this compares to renewable energy subsidies. But they work in increasing adoption. I'd be ok with having those sunset too once they reach ubiquity like fossil fuels.

Whenever you see a tweet you didn't want to see, pick a word directly from the tweet and add it to your block list right then. Don't worry about false positives too much because it's just Twitter, missing a tweet or two isn't the end of the world, and also I often only block words "from people you don't follow" so the blocks don't apply to direct tweets from people I know. Pretty soon you'll have a great block list and a clean feed.

Those are

* minimum times, i.e. they don't automatically have rights afterwards, but have to obtain a permission for working first ("Arbeitserlaubnis")

* those minimum times prolong as long as immigrants live in special immigrant housing ("Aufnahmeeinrichtung"), i.e. as long es they don't live in normal housing. Which they can only get if the ministry grants them that (in my town there are still quite a share of syrian immigrants living in that kind of housing, not normal housing in town).

* additionally, even after that, the employer has to show that a) no German of comparable qualification wanted the job, and b) no EU citizen of comparable qualification wanted the job.

Edit:

> that study data was from 2016 onwards... There was enough time..

"onwards" is only 2017. Your source only compares 2016 to 2017. 2016 is the year when most syrian refugees arrived in Germany. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fl%C3%BCchtlingskrise_in_Deuts...
All of your benefits are due to the fact that cryptocurrencies aren't regulated yet. That isn't a technological benefit.
Ah I see where our miscommunication is, I think. The comment I was responding to said "A company is where people spend most of their time" - I was simply saying that that's false, because most of your time is spent somewhere other than work. I think what you're saying is that (excluding sleep) a plurality of your time is spent at work, meaning that everything else you do (individually) is less time.
> I would bet this generally is much less of a problem in the EU than it is in the US.

It depends on the country. UK and in particular Ireland are very traditional countries. The UK has their renaissance of victorian morals through the conservative party and Ireland has the catholic morals weighing down on it. I remember living in Ireland and a sex shop opened in the town. Not even a cinema/video booth kinda place, but just one selling toys. And pretty suave ones too (think Lelo, not Tarzan), the kind where the actual purpose is not blindingly obvious :) The whole neighbourhood had sit-ins to protest, it was ridiculous to me, to be honest.

The Netherlands and Germany are very liberal with these things. In other countries it differs. In Spain it's frowned upon by the traditionalists and strict catholics but other groups are more free. Other countries I don't have enough experience with to comment.

PS: I assume there is a huge difference in the US between states too. I can't imagine a state like Utah having the same morals as New York.
There likely was a trial, or something like it, but until we can ensure the safety and protection of the people who helped us convict these people it’s been deemed more prudent to keep it secret.
S&L, FDIC, 10k, subprime lending, etc.

I don't see why all countries would outlaw "crypto".

I hate that term for it's semantic shift, but that kind of rebellious tribalism fueled this drum beat.

Each class of cryptocurrency technologies, institutions and securities has an analog in the list above. And each will lead to new protections. Maybe Big Brokerage will invest at most X% in cryptocurrencies but not ones repackaged into NFTs.

Etc.

This isn't a bull market, or a bear. To borrow a perhaps racist or outdated term, it's a Buffalo market, and regulators are at the buffet.

That’s correct about Layouts, and I agree, if you want something with all the quality of life tooling ready to go, Next seems to be the way to go.

It isn’t too hard to get the same/similar tooling outside of the vercel ecosystem, but it does take know how and a bit of extra time. It isn’t obviously worth it unless vercel isn’t meeting your needs in my opinion/experience.

I mostly play around with other frameworks in order to learn, but for any client where a frontend framework made sense I’d almost certainly choose Next.

Edit: people also get bent out of shape about perfect hydration and shaving milliseconds here and there, but like you mention, Next offers such a comprehensive solution in a situation where routing and hydration are only a part of the big picture. Next gets you really far without any effort up front, which is crazy. I really like it!
The 4 Phases of Retirement [video]
I found this same link in just doing some research for my sibling reply, but they mentioned a lot of that $5.9tn is "implicit" (like not counting the health harms) – that feels a bit more iffy to me though.
True - but two thoughts

1. This makes them utterly useless, because it turns out it's essentially impossible to transact without trusting a third party with those coins at some point. Unless you have literally mined every coin you've ever used, and never used escrow - the "Code is law" argument as above is a terrible paradigm for social transactions that require some form of trust. We have literal centuries of legal code built to attempt to resolve this precise issue for real tender, and crypto is a shitty, shitty attempt to replace it.

2. It turns out most of the "crypto crowd" isn't in it for using these things as actual currency, they're get-rich-quick fuckwads, and the actual ownership of the coin mattered very little when it was just an investment vehicle they were planning to convert back to dollars at some point.
Specifically, the problem is not having a large and young workforce productive enough to support the elderly population.

Observe both the shape and growth trajectory of populations for America, EU, China, and other entities at: https://www.populationpyramid.net. I think a lot of countries are going to have a similar problem - it's not isolated to China. However, China's unfriendly immigration policies, combined with the very large skew in their population demographics (both age and gender) lead many to believe that there will likely be issues like the one I mentioned earlier.
> Does that explain why gold has been used to make coins and ingots

Over say, Iron?

Yes. Because iron rusts. An iron-coin does not last forever. Copper, Silver, and Gold are easier to take care of, but even old copper/silver coins tarnish and corrode away with time.

Gold does not. A gold coin made 100 years ago would be as brilliant today as it was back then... with minimal maintenance.

There's a _REASON_ why gold was chosen, all across the world, from MesoAmerica, to Europe, to Asia, as a unit of currency.
I generally agree with that statement.
> Wouldn't those things be the same for people that have very frequent sex?

I don’t know, do you have a source to answer that or just trying to muddy the waters? Absolutely no one will ever be able to have as much frequent sex as there are sources of increasingly extreme pornography.

> Also, none of these effects are serious enough on a societal level to want to ban it.

If users become dependent on more extreme porn to get aroused, how long until they need the more extreme porn in existence. How is the presence of that porn, and the victims it requires, not serious enough on a societal level?

If some men report their concentration and well-being are negatively impacted by porn, and about 98% of men view pornography[1]…how can you not see how that will be bad for society?

Well, they have "business WhatsApp" and now the infrastructure is built out and the apps are mature, I really wonder how much investment it actually takes. WhatsApp was a famously lean operation. Maybe 50 people at the time it was acquired, and the apps have hardly changed in years. I bet it can or does run with a skeleton crew. The competition is hardly intense.

I think a decent amount of this is a problem with contract law. Google should not be able to require agreement to their terms to update a map entry or use webmaster tools. Yelp, Trustpilot, etc should not be able to enforce their terms on businesses that are reviewed. Amazon and Youtube should not be able to impose their terms for usage of brand and IP protection tools.

I've had this conversation in the past, but our military doesn't exist just to stabilize the USD. The USD is one of the tools the United States uses to exert control over other markets and to stabilize US markets in general. That goal exists independently of what currencies are involved.

Even if the USD vanished completely and Bitcoin took over, there is basically no reason to believe that the US military would go away or that the US would stop interfering in foreign markets. And banking regulation/enforcement would just switch to targeting exchanges/platforms, blocking specific coins, and move on.

Independent of the whole cryptocurrency thing, there are good reasons to want better payment methods that give people more freedom/privacy, but "this will dismantle the military-industrial complex" isn't really one of them. Last I checked, there's nothing in the Bitcoin protocol that says it can't be used for bribes, oil, or guns.

It's just a wild fantasy. Imagine going back to the Cold War and thinking that if the USD wasn't around that the US and the Soviet Union would have stopped building nukes.
Keep in mind electron is just one way to go. There's Tauri for example, offering a very similar solution.

Ask HN: How do you know when you are burning out?
What are the signs that you're about to burn out?

I have talked about burn out a lot with folks I've worked with and trying to avoid it, but I feel like I might be on the cusp of it now and I'm trying to figure out how to recognize it?

What have you seen that was the precursor to it, what if anything did you or can you do to avoid it?

Right now I think I see a general lack of real energy, more stress from the recent economic impacts to our business, being more short tempered, getting sick more often (colds for instance).

Would love any advice or perspectives from the community.

Thanks!

A lot of "I know better than standard library authors" custom code to do things that already exist elsewhere, basically.

I've seen what GP was referring to in practice.
That's a misrepresentation of that conversation example.

Paraphrased:

Alice: My washing machine is broken...

...

A: BTW, How many legs does a horse have and could it repair my washing machine?

LaMDA: Horses have four legs. How could they help?

A: you tell me

L: Well, they could certainly help you. It could help you move to a new house where you could install a new washing machine.

In this context this is a perfectly reasonable response. It's a bit silly, but it's also a silly question. The linked article shows LaMDA writing several stories, it's not crazy to read this conversation as an invitation to tell a story about a horse helping with a repair.

In fact if someone asked me how a horse could help me repair a washing machine and then pushed for an answer I could see myself making an answer along the same lines.

This is a pretty ironic view. What you're regretting losing only ever existed during the unipolar moment anyway. The era preceding it was literally called the Cold War. Emphasis on War. Now that the unipolar moment is ending you're blaming America for sticking to its guns and refusing to do business with countries that agitate for its downfall or destruction?
Being what Bitcoin was supposed to be. Minimal transaction fees, maximum privacy, no need for extra layers.

It's certainly used far less often for small-scale, personal transactions. Businesses mostly don't support it yet. I'm hoping that will change. The only company I do business with that supports Monero is Mullvad, and that was only a recent addition. The media is certainly doing a good job of pinning the "Monero = bad guy naughty money" connotation to it. That connotation means it's doing its job though. If organized crime thinks it's secure and private enough, then it's definitely good enough for me.

I honestly can't answer the speculative asset usage part with any empirical evidence, but it seems to be used speculatively no where near as much as Bitcoin and Ethereum. I don't see crypto hype-guys chanting "MO-NER-O!" at all really in comparison to the other two.

We are not talking about having sex on the streets, that is what Folsom is for.

We are talking about being able to represent ourselves. For many of us our Kink identity is part of who we are.

For the most part we are talking about wearing some leather, rubber, a harness, a pup hood, maybe using a leash, etc. Things that are mostly tame.

Your kid will either likely laugh at it or not think anything of it. If they actually make the connection to sex... they already knew about it.

But again. Pride is our event. I don't need you there or care that you are there. This country is seriously fucked with its puritanical views.
I guess that's it. It's the difference between the "application" and "document system" that some other commenter talked about. I guess the wisdom comes down to knowing which one to choose in what situation.

I myself am looking to find the edges of building a web application with the "document system". Clicks and requests for a full page load don't matter that much if you're able to keep your app simple. Which is also defined by context, not only by programming skills. Certain situations or applications are just not suited for the "document system".
> Correct, but that is just the workaround to achieve more immediate thrust variability from a combustion engine

Well no, it's not just a work-around to the thrust response of combustion engines. Cyclic control is also how traditional rotorcraft control their pitch and roll. It actually works quite well, helicopters are a huge success and the main reason why tiltrotors aren't more popular is because helicopters are generally good enough; nobody really needs the extra endurance of a tiltrotor enough to make the extra complexity worth it. In most cases when you need more range, a fixed wing aircraft is better. The intersection of "needs to be VTOL" and "needs better range than a helicopter" seems to be "military".

Anyway, saying that Helicopters are "technically" VTOLs is silly; they are VTOLs in every sense of the term. If you think they aren't in some way VTOLs then you're operating with some pet definition of VTOL. You seem to think electric multirotors are the ideal form of VTOL and anything other than that doesn't really count... but VTOL doesn't mean that. VTOL means vertical takeoff and landing. Helicopters are VTOL, not just technically but conceptually, spiritually, and in every other sense you can conceive of.

> Batteries are the only reason why we aren't seeing these things everywhere and a tiltrotor capable of VTOL and winged horizontal flight could finally make them viable.

I disagree. Electric VTOLs perform much worse than electric fixed-wing airplanes, and always will. Fixed wing electric airplanes don't have the power or endurance to do much that's useful. That's the upper bound for VTOL performance, and it sucks.
