No I thought running your own might offer a worse experience. That's why I asked. I didn't try it myself.

Honestly I didn't find matrix to be much worse than Discord. I don't know what people are looking for in these kinds of apps but Discord might be the worst (maybe weirdest?) application I used willingly.

Matrix irc bridges are good as an irc bouncer I don't need to run myself and there are a few open source communities that chose matrix as their base. For what I use it for they are fine. My personel favorite in this space is Zulip.

I agree 100% it's not yet an true "RFC". "Internet Draft" would be the proper terminology but I couldn't figure how to cleanly work that explanation in one swoop without distracting from the main point that it's just informational and instead fudged "draft informational RFC".

There was no claim that RFCs must be standards track, this is actually a false relation the last line explicitly calls out people for having. Maybe it should have been made even clearer this is a false assumption without relying on context.

I wonder if RFC 2026 is worthy of its own HN post. Just submitted :).
the most obvious reason is that immigrants.....are more mobile, and much more likely to move to the where the jobs are. Native workers, with embedded social networks, are far less likely migrate in the same way.

An obvious takeaway in this case: US News shouldn't be the primary ranker.

If statistics were distributed in open format, transparently, and there were multiple rankers (each with their own weights and mixes), universities would be less incentivized to game "the US News metrics".
Does TrackerDetect for Android operate proactively or do you have to\can you manually scan? I've tried AirGuard available on F-Droid.

I'm a bit surprised at how this situation hasn't been made into the demonstration example of how difficult it is for individuals to escape or minimize their exposure to the surveillance capitalism society. I suppose if the proximal that these things pose to individuals wasn't so gruesome, there might be more being said about it. But I'm imagining a reverse situation, where someone is taking proactive steps to avoid exposure to Google tracking, so they get an iPhone, use apple email and web services, all the other little things for minimizing web tracking, and then Google comes along and says hey, we've leveraged our control of a massive distributed network of personal Android devices to unilaterally run a tracking service in the background of every device. Then when it's exposed as being obviously dangerous, Google releases an app for iOS users to aid in mitigating the risks the system presents to all individuals. And our Google-avoiding Apple user now is confronted with the alternative of either willfully allowing Google into their digital life or not addressing the adversarial risks of the system Google created. I can't help but think if Google had done this rather than Apple (which seems rather an academic distinction to me), there's be a lot more of an uproar.

** "But Apple protects it's users' privacy and Google's business model is to monetize it" - maybe Apple is better in this regard, or maybe they're just a black box with a plausible alternative revenue model that doesn't need to monetize the data it collects in the same obvious way - yet.

And I am loath to trust a company that in the face of backlash after the risks of a novel tracking system that they, as one of likely only two companies with the capacity to do so, created first, releases a statement suggesting we join in congratulating them for being the first to take steps to mitigate the risks (of the lone system that produces those risks that they and they alone have deployed). It's as of they are either completely out of it or they cynically know they can leverage an if we word it they will come Field of Dreams for fan-boys.

I am not a fan of self-checkout because it always needs some sort of assistance of a shop employee because of a article that need their approval, you accidentally scanned twice and they need to remove the article, it can't detect the article you just scanned in the bagging area etc. It's a painful experience.

And it's video recording you when you are using the self-checkout machine.
This.

Italy already pays 1.9 percentage points higher rates than Germany, and has 140% debt to GDP. If the ECB sharply raises rates, then Italy's debt might become unsustainable. The Economist notes: "The country probably cannot tolerate yields on its bonds much above 4%. Around that point, the goals [of the ECB] of price stability and defending indebted countries would become irreconcilable.
Should interest rates surge, the euro area would look dangerously frail. "

It's an interesting question, and that's probably why it ends up in so many econometrics and stats courses. You have the classic causality problem, along with ethical concerns of generating experimental data for such a study.

Controlling for as many of the relevant variables as possible, there does seem to be a strong negative correlation between class size and test scores. Beyond that, who knows, but it makes sense that small classes would succeed more often (at least up to a certain point of course)
For video games, there's another factor: much of the artwork in old-school games was specifically designed to be altered by both CRT scanlines and NTSC composite effects. So many sprites in 2D games and textures in 3D games rely on NTSC effects to antialias the graphics and turn dithering into real gradients and you're missing out on so much with a modern screen.

The closest you can get to that experience now is to use an emulator and apply some heavy shaders (some emulators have built-in shaders, but if one doesn't I'd recommend installing reshade and setting up CRT-Royale and GTUv050).
The truth of cause, it is about control. The kids part is to allow for a moral panic that the government needs to "save the kids" from. It would be profitable if you could charge a monthly fee for a kids specific social network that parents had control over who the kids could chat to and what news they could read.

The funny thing is that if I created a phone that had a kids mode lock-down (with kids friendly appstore, social media, browser and education content) with a monthly fee and no-ads. The government would scream that I was harming competition and locking people out by daring to charge for a product that would be expensive to operate.
There are real issues with using class size as they do. If you have someone that's really good at teaching a particular class, it's better to have them teach one section of 60 students rather than have a second section taught by someone that does a mediocre job. You also have things like TA help for larger classes, and that doesn't factor in at all. There's also the discontinuity thing. 30 is way better than 31, but equally better vs 300 - which obviously makes no sense. Overall, the measures they use for class size in these rankings are garbage.

The same is true for selectivity. It doesn't account for education at all, only the difficulty of getting in. But since it doesn't account for the applicant pool, it doesn't account for the difficulty of getting in either. You could use things like SAT scores as a measure of the difficulty of getting in and ditch the acceptance % completely. I work at an R1 that gets hit hard because we admit most applicants because, you know, we exist to educate folks, not to serve as a signalling device.
I've been hearing the same line about nuclear plants taking decades to be built for decades, as if its a valid dismissal. As the saying goes, the best time to plant a tree was a decade ago, the second best time is now. We should be scaling up our nuclear capacity.
How do you do that? Directly into currency or in china-traded stocks? Which broker do you use for that?
Ten years ago was also when everybody was scared of nuclear, even more than today.

I think based on the studies linked in the source above quite a lot of what you've stated as plain fact is easily debatable.

1. Does not seem like Vitamin D supplementation provides any of the benefits that are linked to Vitamin D from sun exposure.

2. The maladies strongly linked to being combatted by said Vitamin D kill far, far more Americans (700,000) than melanoma (7,000) a year.

3. Obesity and vitamin D have a pretty strong experimental link: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5691711/

They want the time constraints back too. So many streaming services these days still have shows that air episodes at regular times rather than a while season at once. They also drop content regularly, offer to steam content for limited times, or only provide recent episodes.

They can't wait to back to the point where they can dictate people's schedules and induce FOMO in their customers. They just have to condition us slowly into accepting it after netflix spoiled us.

The US extradites people, including US citizens. That is required from the federal government by extradition treaties that are signed voluntarily by the US (in exchange for extradition _to_ the US). It is uncommon because they require escalations through the Department of State and not many crimes are serious enough to justify extradition.

The classics generally aren't as good. There are exceptions (e.g. Star Wars) but old films generally have terrible pacing. Film making skills have not stood still.

Yes, perfect for IFR and procedure training. The lack of control loading / feedback in home simulators makes it not a great choice for primary training. I've had to teach some simulator enthusiasts in real aircraft for primary training, there is a lot to unlearn. Especially in terms of trimming, fine gained control and looking outside.

But for IFR training if you already know how it fly it's amazing what home sims can do. Add in Navigraph to get up to date data / procedures and Jeppesen charts and you get a better real world representation than some of the certified simulators used in flight training.

How can you watch Ms Marvel and think this is copy paste or looks generic? The characters, culture, and art style are pretty unique and make the show quite enjoyable, and I am generally uninterested in the Marvel universe.

Loki was also very different and had a unique look.

Each one of these little series has been pretty enjoyable and different, and I found myself pleasantly surprised. The movies however are not my cup of tea and do seem repetitive and generic with some notable exceptions like Thor Ragnarok.

Yes, but I never claimed the first. I said "I think it's worth reconsidering why you wish to read this book if you do not enjoy it."

My point being that the original comment sounded more like wishing to check a box of having read a classic book rather than wanting to approach the book for what was in it and growing from the experience:
> I'm generally a fairly well-read guy, so I would like to knock this classic out, but I am not sure how.

> I'd go a step further and say that if you don't have a good reason to get through the material, and you don't enjoy it, it's actively harmful to spend the time.

Yes I broadly agree with that.

> And so we look to others who we respect, who found profound meaning, and trust that there's something there.

There being something there for others does not mean that we will get the same thing out of it, or even anything at all if we're not in the right place for it. Doubly so if we did not pick the book because we wanted to get out of it what those others have said they got out of it.
Some people just cannot (or refuse to) recognise all the noise you can see around old/cheap/low quality effects. I often watched those silly Japanese horror varieties where they would show you a grainy video of some dark place, and then maybe a grainy shot of someone crawling out of something. But you know it's two separate things spliced together because the grains are of a different size, or when one area is gray-scale while another is simply decolourised to match. My friends could never tell the difference.

>Ruble is up from where it was just before the invasion.

The prices in Russia reflect about 1.5-2x ruble fall against dollar since the invasion. The official ruble/dollar ratio is maintained by draconian measures/restrictions against exporters and population (plus significant depression of economy which was consuming a lot of imports, like the car market falling 6 times because most of the foreign car makers/traders are gone, similar situation in IT for example, ie. Russian economy collapsed to becoming only natural gas and oil pump). Very similar to the situation back in USSR when dollar was only 0.63 of ruble, yet it wasn't possible to buy any dollars at that price.

Wrt. original post - it was obvious even back in February that the faster Ukraine wins the less hit Europe will take. Europe has been dragging its feet on military help for Ukraine and as a result dragging itself deeper an deeper into an economical crisis. Leaders of France, Germany, Italy still seem to hope that Russia will take a piece of Ukraine, and after that the things will be back to the good old times. This naïve thinking has already obviously failed, yet they are still clinging to it.

I work at a university, and honestly have never heard of this ranking that you referenced in [1]. Also seems super weighted towards military academies. What's their model? Are kids in the states now looking at more global options ?
Wouldn't it make more sense to just make sure that all universities just pass the same requirements to be a university, and beyond that not add some ranking or other entertainment nonsense in the mix?

This whole entertainifying business really isn't good for anyone, except perhaps for people making money off of numbers, which is still not good for most.
Do you have any friends, hobbies, or sense of adventure? If not, then it'd be obvious to me what you're missing. I have no savings, no investments, no assets and very few possessions, no security of any kind, and just entered my thirties, no children, I rent, and make maybe around a similar amount. But I have a decent social life, a good relationship, There's not really anything I want right now that I can't access, except reliability of that income so I can apply it to more adventure, and time. I envy your no meetings setup, can't stand them. No debt would be nice too.
A huge part of the potato diet which isn't mentioned in the article is resistant starch. Each time you cool and cook potatoes you increase the amount of starch your body cannot digest (basically turning into fiber). This makes them even more fulfilling and less caloric (studies show this around 17% each time but I'm sure this approaches a limit).

Also it's ridiculously cheap and way easier to cook potatoes in bulk than practically any other food. At least with the Yukon golds I just rinse them, stab them with a knife and drop them into an instant pot with about a cup of water and a trivet. When done I transfer them into a big bowl in the fridge to cool and when I want to reheat them I reheat the whole bowl to accumulate resistant starch.

It's not a silver bullet but it's a really useful tool if you haven't been successful with other diets.
I think there is more than the amount. Salt is a taste enhancer when you cook with it, added to the table it just add a salty taste to your plate.
But...none of those studies justify a discontinuity at a particular value. And if they control for things like TA help, they cease to provide useful information, because in the real world TA help increases with the class size.
