I see you have moved from the indefensible bailey to the motte from which you attempt to redefine the bailey. You may have your misconception about the conversation topic. I do not.

Referring to the rescue diver as a pedophile is uniquely odious and as far as I’m aware the only time Musk has done that. Maybe you are closely tracking his public utterances against pedos, MAPs, and groomers and can shed more light on how that occasion is part and parcel to a broader pattern of behavior, unacceptable in your mind. Of note, the public letter didn’t coincide with that specific incident.

Anyone who quotes the "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" line has never met a working class person. Nobody thinks that. I worked in a plastic factory for ten years and it's very clear there is no path up from making $45k to anything higher than plant manager. People who are just feeding a grinding machine expect even less.

My feeling is that most of my coworkers felt somewhat exploited and envious, but they didn't buy into ideological propaganda. They just don't go socialist, either because they think it's hopeless, or because they want to distinguish themselves from the low-status welfare recipients just below them. It's more ideological people, like me, who absorb the propaganda and actually believe Jeff Bezos deserves it.
> I think it is pure speculation that we would become apathetic in as little as a few centuries

Most people alive today need some kind of structure. Just look at the boomers who “retire” and then get antsy super fast. I took a handful of years off in my late 20s to do nothing and when I tell people about it, they’re like “Didn’t you get bored?”
The title here ("100% of Long Covid patients have GPCR-autoantibodies") is editorialized, making this sound interesting. The actual title is "Possible Impact of functional active GPCR-autoantibodies on retinal microcirculation in Long-COVID."

The study looked at 76 long covid patients with no control group, so you can't make a general conclusion from it. This post is a waste of time unless you're interested in obscure opthamological research.
A country that _Doesnt_ want to more capital flowing into their companies? Sounds pretty weird no?
But you guys, this software isn't practicing good Design. None of those UI elements provide me with any _satisfaction_. I don't care how efficient it is if it doesn't follow solid Design principles (like massive checkboxes that take seconds to activate).

Reminds me of GPT-3
I'm sorry but the contract was screwing me. I worked (decades ago) as a third shift janitor in a 24 hour supermarket. My responsibilities included cleaning the customer and employee restrooms and also cleaning the meat cutting room. My union negotiated maximum hourly wage was less than the starting wage for stockers and cashiers. Why? Because there were maybe 10 janitors per store, whereas there were 100+ stockers and cashiers. So the union represented votes and 10 votes per store amounted to exactly what you think it would. This is why any sort of generic 'tech union' is going to be a failure in my opinion, because if you have 150 developers and 20 QA, for example, where do you think the equality will actually land. People will vote for the common good up to a point. Single occupation unions would possibly work, i.e. a QA union, a Developers union but would introduce other problems.

Contracts and unions aren't some magical cure all. Unions are political organizations and come with all the problems that political organizations have.
Sadly that has been the norm for most of recorded history. Slavery and human trading has been practiced by cultures and codified in cultures i.e. religions. Most religions [implicitly] sanction slavery and human trading.
For an OS most of us would consider useless that's been around for maybe a quarter of the time desktop Linux has been and half the time OSX has 2% is pretty impressive.

As to the pricing, it's not like Desktop Linux doesn't work very well on cheap hardware either. OS popularity comes down to social things like PR (especially with children) and has little to do with merit.
I just watched a movie on Prime (most of the movie, anyway) about the centuries-long effort to decipher the Mayan hieroglyphics. They've done a pretty good job of it, but it was really hard. They do not have a Rosetta Stone to work with.
I was aware of that. But unless you make the argument that a suicide programming would be a hard coded death penalty for careless driving, and as such only possible under criminal law, i still dont see how its relevant to the example at hand. Could you elaborate?
Thanks, didn't know this!

I think at this point diagnosing long covid necessarily involves trusting patients. If you had no chronic illness symptoms you were aware of, and then get covid, and then have chronic illness symptoms - that's long covid. Until we understand what it is better, there's not going to be any way to objectively test for it, or define it more clearly.
Yep, innovation means prices understate the true level of inflation. Eg: If technology reduces costs by 5% and the CPI measures 2%, then the real rate of inflation is at least 7%.
And weirdly, many of those curated sucker lists were built up with hundreds of millions of VC funding, so they’re going to be treated like ordinary corporate assets.

Take OpenSea. Assuming the NFT hype doesn’t suddenly resurrect itself, there’s no way the company can ever reach 2021 revenues and the lofty valuations it enjoyed in its Series C round. VCs won’t have endless patience for funding down rounds. But the sucker list can be monetized by less-than-scrupulous actors. Maybe we’ll see a special brand of private equity operators who buy these distressed former crypto high-fliers and milk the remaining user bases for years to come.

It may be what he'd have wanted: something fully automated.

As for the fixed quantity, it's just a property of some coins: other don't have this restriction/feature (depending on how you like it!)

If you think it's a desirable feature, it could also be fully automatized, and not just by a time trend (ex: grow by k% if the number of transactions grow by x%)
Maybe? Reading the abstract, it seems to make sense to me how this paper ended up in this specific journal. From what I understand, the authors were specifically looking at one ophthalmology-related long COVID symptom (impaired retinal microcirculation) and found a common marker that is linked to that symptom.

Granted, I have 0 experience in any medical field, but it doesn't immediately look like a red flag to me?
Ask HN: UX tips for displaying large numbers formatted
For example, in the input field the user enters the raw value as so:

[123456789]

And the formatted equivalent would be:

123,456,789

What is a good UX pattern for showing the user the thousands separators?

I've seen some forms where the commas / spaces are dynamically inserted in the input field (but then users end up trying to type in the commas / spaces manually).

We currently display a formatted preview of the raw input directly next to the input field (and this preview is refreshed onkeyup).

Just wondering what other good UX patterns you've seen that cater for this?

Thanks ^_^
How simple are Prokaryotic Cells really? Like "simple" enough that we understand all the intricate workings of it, or "simple" enough to be made from scratch?
To not understand recursion, you must first... wait, I think that's all!
The theme is clear...liquidation of overpriced tech assets.
This is the best documentation. After that I think Groovy has excellent documentation (love you Groovy) and then Rust.

There are others. I wish Scheme had something analogous. But it lacks funding from deep pockets.
Wait till you hear about the iOS jailbreakers / security community on Twitter. These people either have simply more CPU cycles to burn, or no life.
That’s older heat pumps. Modern heat pumps are over 200% efficient at 0℉ and over 100% efficient down to around -15℉ Which makes them suitable for many places that don’t have relatively warm climates.
You make a big assumption, that there must be only two kinds of cells, "simple" and "complex", like on earth.

That could well be an accidental fact. Maybe on some planets we have a gradient of cell complexity.

Also, we don't really know what even simpler kinds existed on earth but were lost, since bacteria, the "simple" kind, it's obviously too complex to have been the first ever life form.
It's likely that long covid and many chronic illnesses share a similar pathology. The symptoms are surprisingly clustered.
Where’s the control? 100% of long Covid patients also had 2 arms and 10 toes
If you were the lower earner would you want to stay home? This is an incredibly disadvantageous position to be in.
I agree that putting lots of people out of work isn't the problem. The problem is that these Non-General models become very powerful and they can be programmed by humans to do very impactful things. So much so that even if AGI comes into existence just a few years later it will be of minimal impact to the world.
> What I think is something people easily overlook with Patreon and similar platforms is that it's quite hard to make a decent profit on $1 or $5 transactions that most of Patreon's income seems to come from.

Nothing forces Patreon to take a cut for each and every donation, let alone such a hefty fee. Plenty of micropayment services charge instead a fee for transactions into and out of their system, and internal transactions don't incur any cost or transaction fee.

If Patreon insists in taking a hefty cut from each and every donation, that's a problem caused by their business model.
It's the expansion of the money supply faster than the expansion of the real economic output.
So you're going to participate in a successful coup instead?
> reported by people who have had acute COVID.

Plenty of cases of long covid are linked to not-particularly-severe covid cases.
GPT-3 is actually doing improv, not performing jokes. If it were really Seinfeld, it would be paying writers and scribbling notes down in a pocket notebook while golfing.

i.e. It's not Seinfeld, it's an improv guy who you just asked to "Do Seinfeld."
I think just about everyone has some level of GPCR-antibodies present just that people with long-covid have much greater amounts of them.
The most valuable course I took at university taught you how to request and analyze public records. This was at least 4-5 years before the government had records available online. So it required you to physically examine this information.

While taking the class, I came to realize the paper trail you leave the moment you become an adult is immense and almost impossible — from a government perspective — to eliminate entirely. If you require a license or own property, you have no choice but to be in the system. You literally have to disconnect from society and live as a hermit in the woods (and even then I wouldn’t doubt the ability to be tracked.)

The digital realm has only made this paper trail exponentially impossible to control, even if you’re consciously trying. I’ve adopted the practice of limiting my digital footprint as much as possible (within reason). I don’t have accounts or engage with the social media walled gardens. I am very conscious of the media I consume. For instance, I don’t follow my curiosity about topics an on platforms where an algorithm might force feed me — if I wanted to know about a conspiracy theory for giggles, I’d read on Wikipedia, not watch a video on YouTube.

And, finally, ad and tracker blockers at every possible level. I figure if someone has me profiled, I can at least block the tailored message they’re sending.
While I agree with the overall argument, reading this was a bit frustrating. The article made all kinds of interesting points and observations, but didn't really explain any of them. For example, I'd love to know what the difference between recursion and cyclicity is.
Are you saying we should be cautious when using simple biological analogies to describe complex human social behavior?

Or is that just an ad hominem attack on the concept that investment capitalism is fundamentally flawed, and is in fact more of a destructive force than a creative force relative to industrial capitalism in the competitive market model?

Consider: is the situation where a cabal of Wall Street billionaires control almost all decisions about industrial production (basically the current USA system, with some outliers, see Tesla's upset of the car cabal) really all that different from a situation where a cohort of Communist Party insiders make all such decisions (Soviet Union), or where a fascist state-industrial combine (IG Farben - Krupp - Nazi Party) does?

Neo-fascist, neo-communist, neo-authoritarian, neo-feudal - investment capitalism has a long history of involvement in all such behavior, dating back to Lloyd's of London investing in the slave trade, or the behavior of various British Crown Corporations in India.
it's not really going to change the lifetime value of a customer, I bet, once they're onboarded. But it will absolutely lower conversion.

People do month to month because they don't know if they'll find value in it, it's totally no commitment.

Asking to think if I'll still like this creator in 3 months requires actual thought... and $9 feels like money whereas $3 just doesn't.
I’ll be sure to give them your HN username.
The author is charging more for access to the feature you want. You need to pay more to get that benefit, just like you need to pay more for early access or whatever other perks are offered.
Honestly, neither. Biology is complex and messy, and often not at all intuitive.

There are hardly any real details in the article about the Green theft. I wish I could find a source that described it in detail.
Holy shit really? Catch me in PR next year then.

More seriously, is this something that's true of territories in general. I was reading the other day and was kinda disappointed I can't even visit most territories.
FWIW, that is what I took away also.
> The entire crypto expansion directly correlates

Correlation does not ...

> Do your research.

Thousands of times this has been brought up and debunked. Tether is minted when there are new fiat deposits. It's the influx of fiat money that is creating new tether and raising crypt prices. That's how it is supposed to work. Nothing suspicious about it.

Note: I have no idea if Tether had and/or still has all the assets backing all the minted Tether, and maybe it will collapse in 5 minutes so I'm not here to defend them, but before you tell other people to do their reserach, maybe you should do some yourself, and go with some more educated criticism.
The jargon file entry for "tail recursion" read: "If you haven't grown tired of it already, see tail recursion."
>It is not made for reusable components, like real GUI toolkits.
The latter needs some explanation. The web way of creating reusable components is through some kind of templating. You are basically just copy pasting a chunk of HTML several times representing your new custom component.

That's not true since HTML allows custom elements.
So this could trigger the flippining.
> So we still pay at least 10bn to keep them alive and well, and probably price is much higher.

There's no question incarceration is expensive. Nobody is disputing that.

> there is no slavery they just paying for what they eat and spend in terms of clothing, heating, food ...

This is not how it works, you're proposing something entirely different.

The best way to have criminals pay back is turning them into taxpayers. Punishment for the pleasure of it is very expensive.
> though I'm allowed to take paid time off.

Does this mean it’s an optional day off ?
Just let it speak for itself.
Very common, no doubt. Targeting GPCRs is a very wide net, GPCRs are a huge superfamily of proteins.

> GPCRs are an important drug target and approximately 34%[6] of all Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs target 108 members of this family. The global sales volume for these drugs is estimated to be 180 billion US dollars as of 2018.[6] It is estimated that GPCRs are targets for about 50% of drugs currently on the market, mainly due to their involvement in signaling pathways related to many diseases i.e. mental, metabolic including endocrinological disorders, immunological including viral infections, cardiovascular, inflammatory, senses disorders, and cancer. The long ago discovered association between GPCRs and many endogenous and exogenous substances, resulting in e.g. analgesia, is another dynamically developing field of the pharmaceutical research.[2]

INT. JERRY’S APARTMENT

GEORGE: Somebody hacked my apes. They’re all gone.

JERRY: All gone?

GEORGE: Every single one! Funged!

JERRY: You can’t just funge a man’s ape!

GEORGE: That’s society for you - people are sick!

[KRAMER enters smoking a cigar in an ape costume]

GEORGE: What the fuck Kramer - are you smoking my ape?

JERRY: Give him back his NFT! He needs it to gain entry to the Vladimir Club for the big Cryptoland party tonight.

[KRAMER spits out a mouthful of smoke]

KRAMER: What party?

JERRY: The Cryptoland party.

KRAMER: I can’t go to the Cryptoland party.

JERRY: Why not?

KRAMER: I’m wearing an ape.

JERRY: Well take the ape off.

KRAMER: No, I can’t take him off. I’ve been wearing him for days.

JERRY: How many days?

KRAMER: A long time.

GEORGE: A few days?

KRAMER: Yeah, a few days.

JERRY: It’s those damn NFTs.

GEORGE: No, no. I’ve been wearing my ape for days too.

KRAMER: Really?

GEORGE: Yeah.

KRAMER: Well, why didn’t you say something?

GEORGE: I was embarrassed.

JERRY: We need to get those NFTs off these guys.

GEORGE: Yeah, well you’re not going to have much luck with a knife and a can opener.

JERRY: We’re gonna have to cut them off.

GEORGE: There’s no other way?

JERRY: Well they are basically a thin elastic material. I’m sure they can be stretched over a pair of scissors.

GEORGE: All right.

JERRY: All right.

[JERRY and GEORGE hold KRAMER’S arms down on the table while JERRY sneaks the scissors up behind KRAMER’S NFT]

JERRY: Okay Kramer. Here we go. One, two, three.

[JERRY quickly cuts KRAMER’S NFT off]

JERRY: There it is.

KRAMER: Oh, thank you. My ape. You saved my ape.

GEORGE: Yeah, you’re welcome.

KRAMER: Oh my ape.

[KRAMER puts the NFT on his head]

JERRY: No Kramer!

[JERRY and GEORGE quickly pull KRAMER’S NFT off]

JERRY: Oh my god.

[JERRY and GEORGE are holding KRAMER’S NFT in their hands and it is stained with blood]

JERRY: He cut the poor thing right in half.

GEORGE: I doubt we’re going to find anyone who can sew it back together.

JERRY: He’s just gonna have to go to the party with no NFT.

GEORGE: What are you talking about?

JERRY: The party.

GEORGE: The party.

JERRY: The Cryptoland party.

KRAMER: I’m going to the Cryptoland party?

JERRY: Oh yeah.

GEORGE: Yeah.

KRAMER: Oh yes.

GEORGE: You’re really going, huh?

KRAMER: Yeah.

GEORGE: Well listen Kramer, in order to get into the club, you have to have an approved ape.

KRAMER: What?

GEORGE: See, the Vladimir Club is a very exclusive private club for people who have a funged ape.

KRAMER: I don’t understand.

JERRY: What George is trying to say is, if you want to go to the Cryptoland party, you’re gonna need a new ape.

KRAMER: I see.

GEORGE: You’re gonna need a new ape.

KRAMER: I see.

GEORGE: You’re gonna need a new ape.

KRAMER: I see.

GEORGE: You’re gonna need a new ape.

KRAMER: I see.

GEORGE: You’re gonna need a new ape.

KRAMER: I see.
I came here to say "sure. But what's the control group," and "this would be more interesting if 100% of non-long-covid sufferers didn't have the antibody."

Interesting work, but this seems like only the first half of the experiment. Would love to see the data when the experiment is completed.
>although I believe the Espionage act falls under the category of treason.

You know you can look stuff up instead of forming world views on so much misunderstanding.

>Remember that saying:

Yes, people have been making the slippery slope fallacy for millennia with all sorts of catchphrases. And for millennia the extreme end is extremely rarely ever reached. People invoke such hand wavy feel good stuff when they don't have an actual argument based on evidence.

"It's just common sense!"

"Think of this children"

"First they came for..."

Assange is charged not with being a journalist, or publishing classified materials, but with actively recruiting and convincing people to break laws so he could get such materials. If true, he deserves jail. If you believe in journalism, then should support prosecuting those that violate journalistic ethics and laws, otherwise you are helping weaken protections for journalists.

Here's [1] the original indictment. It's pretty damning if true. Among other things, it claims Assange helped crack password on SIPRNET, which I suspect they have solid evidence for, otherwise any lawyer in a trial will get that thrown out. If true, that is worth prison for pretty much anyone, especially a foreign national that is cracking passwords to obtain classified material so he can publish it.

There are at least two superseding indictments you can also read on the internet, but the first is still the main reason he is being extradited. One of the superseding indictments claims Assange directed hacker groups which places to hack for Assange (CIA and NSA and even the New York Times). If this part is true, Assange is not a journalist - he is directing hackers to attack government and journalists. Again, if the govt does not have solid evidence of these claims, it will get tossed in court. If they have evidence, Assange should stand trial.

The way to have this play out is a trial - jurors and judges and lawyers can see the evidence and decide. Plus the content of the trial will be public record (unless there's classified stuff, in which case judges still oversee those details).

All this hand waving silly slippery slope nonsense, to protect someone who seems quite likely to have violated reasonable laws, is hanging your hat on the wrong case.

So keep using extreme claims and arguments that don't stand up to scrutiny - people will simply dismiss you and your arguments. Or understand the nuance and make more defensible, fact supported arguments - then you may persuade someone.

The point is that current energy storage facilities are too small for fully renewable grid (or arguably even 60% renewable grid).

Even as a nuclear supporter I would welcome more renewables if we had cheap scalable storage, which no one has it seems. (at least no one pointed out such project in the entire thread)
Iteration is just recursion over a list/array/generator.
On the one hand, this is quite a normal and even healthy thing in nature, and apparently a part of life itself. A plant drops thousands of seeds, but only a few of them will ever sprout. We humans, too, will try many different things, and only a few of those will turn out worthwhile. It is a process necessary to adapt to an ever-changing environment.

On the other hand, we could probably do a better job of recognizing and admitting blind alleys sooner. In groups, especially, it is very easy that people will convince each other that the path they are on is viable. But I can assure you, even if you worked for yourself, you would still fool yourself often enough. Not only would you still tend to continue working on things that I have already proven to be failures. But you would actively avoid asking the question, “Is this thing I am working on still worthwhile?”. I think once we are in execution mode, switching back to the higher plane of strategy and critical distance is a very hard and counter-intuitive thing to do.
