Yeah that’s fair, though understanding our body organs as having cells as fundamental units is actually an insight that leads to a lot of other actionable intelligence we wouldn’t have if we weren’t able to ‘atomize’ them into smaller constituent parts.

I get what you’re saying though and I do agree that in general it’s not radically helpful just thinking of the internet as information flow. But it depends on the problem set. For example when wondering how people or various communities get informed, identifying their news sources (and thus information flow) is invaluable in understanding their most likely held positions on things. That being said, this doesn’t just include the internet so I guess it goes back to your point of information flow, esp. just regarding the internet, is prly too abstract to be of much radical use without further differentiating it or incorporating other insights

At one point my nihilistic consumeristic 20s got me in the hobby of "Lomography", which was basically using up ("shoot from the hip!) expensive film without care and seeing what kinds of random stuff turns up, if any at all.

Turns out shooting from the hip produces a lot of creepy angles on callypigian figures you were honest-to-god not trying to do. (Would a creepster use film?)

There isn't one. People love to spread doom and gloom without any real solutions. Real estate, gold, crypto, bonds, etc... are all either affected or soon to be affected by these economic conditions. Panic sellers will lose big and folks that don't have the means to weather the storm will suffer. Personally, I still believe in a well diversified portfolio being the best option (as do many), but the truth is, nobody really knows.
Smart thermostats could really be a lot smarter, in particular if you had a little bit of local battery storage, but even without that it's possible to imagine a thermostat that could be set to lower electric bills based on real-time monitoring of electrical prices.

> "With few exceptions, when the load peaks, the price also peaks. So, if you can move some of your electricity consumption away from the peak times, real-time pricing will enable you to save money by buying more of your energy at lower prices."

There are many ways to implement this but it might result in a fairly pricey thermostat requiring an internet connection and the ability to automatically switch from grid power to local battery power as prices fluctuate. It would likely reduce demand variation however.

Some people have also rolled out notions like allowing utilities to control thermostats remotely but I think that'd be very unpopular for most people, it has too many dystopian Big Brother connotations.
that's not what empathy means, you don't have to house someone to feel empathy for them. In this case, I'd say don't judge them so harshly because they're a product of a failing social system. They're the consequence of society's collective decisions and priorities.

I had an aunt and uncle felt it was crass to give money as a gift, and that also it was bad luck to give someone a wallet or purse that was empty. I remember getting a wallet from them every year for my birthday from like the age of 5 through 15. But the deal was that the gift was the wallet, and any of the cash inside was immediately spendable and didn't need to be put in the bank like other birthday money.

Millions of people have now seen how you react when interrupted, and are leaving comments about how much you look like you "needed" interrupting. Maybe a coworker or relative sees you.

I mean they still own it right? There was a time you could buy any piece of tat in the world with that red birds face on it so because they own it the potential is always there to reboot it somehow.

Think the only real misstep is they didn't worldbuild good enough, they're birds and they're angry, the pigs steal their eggs and thats kinda where it ends, good comparison might be Minions I mean the base minion characters are as shallow as Angry Birds but there is more elements/characters/stories of their world around that there will still be movies set in the minions world in 10 years from now.

Although Angry Birds the glorified flash game made a lot of money, there just wasn't enough story and worldbuilding there to sustain a movie and a themepark. Think they should have been more ambitious with that side or even built out the rest of the world where Angry Birds is just one small part of it, like how Donkey Kong has his own games but he is also a subset of the Mario universe.

Where Rovio is they could always do another reboot of the games or a live action edgy Angry Birds movie but Niantic is stuck, Pokemon Company holds all the cards and without Niantic Pokemon is still huge but without Pokemon Niantic is nothing.

Also remember they are free and you don’t get a refund for the service being down due to a SLA clause.

Considering how widely the price of electricity varies throughout the day, we urgently need to translate this into end consumer pricing in order to better shape demand.

https://energy-charts.info/charts/price_spot_market/chart.ht...

This doesn't mean that end consumers should pay spot prices - we have seen where that leads in Texas. But having four distinct prices for night, morning, day and evening might already achieve a lot.
Probably because they lost more money than most people will see in their lifetime and were largely unaffected by it.
> It frustrates me that this thoughtless conservatism goes unchallenged on HN.

I don't think this is some thoughtless conservative belief, but rather one that's bringing up how everything primarily being online nowadays is causing less in-person communication than ever. I mean with fewer people having sex each year, it makes sense to suspect the things that have changed between the generations that didn't have this issue and the ones that now do.
They really don’t have much of a choice. None of those issues can be solved in the near term, and many of them were setup 10-15 years ago. Both parties have been irresponsible when it comes to spending, interest rates, and inflation. We should have been tightening up on interest rates and taxes during boom times so we could loosen during bust times, but it’s just been loosen loosen loosen since 2001 or so. No one is interested in evening out the economic cycle.

And the parties have been irresponsible because we the voters wanted that.

>I think 200 means something exists and 404 is the representation of non-existence.

But that's not what the spec says:

>200 OK - The request has succeeded. The information returned with the response is dependent on the method used in the request, for example:

> GET an entity corresponding to the requested resource is sent in the response;

>The 404 (Not Found) status code indicates that the origin server did not find a current representation for the target resource or is not willing to disclose that one exists.

404 is not the representation of non-existence. It's the representation of not found. Something can be "not found" for many more reasons than non-existence. Which ultimately causes the person integrating your API much consternation because they have no idea if it's a "Everything worked" 404 or "My DNS is borked" 404 or "Your server's routing is borked" 404 or half a dozen other possibilities. Sure, you might add further information to your 404 response but that means you can't have generic 404=bad monitoring. Plus causes headaches for people that are working in systems that do assume 404=bad.

200 means that the request has succeeded. And in these cases it has. You requested a representation of employee 100 and you're getting one (it doesn't exist).

Even if you disagree with the word smithing the latter is far far easier to work with.

That sounds a bit rude, but I'll try to answer anyway. No, I don't have the statistics at hand but I think we can agree that a lot of people go through financial hardship during a recession - basically what a recession means.

What part of my comment do you disagree with exactly? That people, in general, overestimate their financial security and capacity to overcome recessions?
Agree. I've seen multiple. They we're salesmen for their favorite device.
Haven't had any issues with name.com since switching to them in 2018. Their interface leans form-over-function for my taste (massive waste of screen real estate), but I can always muddle through to the DNS record editing interface in less than 30 seconds, which is all that matters to me.
We've had real-time pricing in our area (ComEd/PJM) for over a decade now, and we even have celluar+Zigbee-enabled smart meters attached to all the homes. I even bought a gateway where I can read my usage with pretty good resolution every 10 seconds.

But, still, none of the large thermostat makers offer any type of integration to the local utility. Or even the local weather! ComEd actually offers a box with a 3G modem that sits outside next to the A/C compressor and will cycle it off when demand is too high. But even that has no connection to the inside system.

I'm concerned about how this technology will change journalism, especially because it has momentum—the article reports that the tool is in use by a UK government office and two news agencies, and has funding by Google.org. The article lists three tools: the first categorizes claims (okay), the second compares claims to conclusions of previous fact-checks, and the third compares statistical figures to official figures.

> "The second tool addresses the problem of how to increase the reach of existing fact checks. This tool cross-references claims identified from the claim detection tool with existing fact checks done by Full Fact. [...] “Anyone who is involved in fact-checking knows that a fact check can take [a lot of time ...] “But once all of that effort and work has been invested, the outcome is one fact check.""

It's plausible that this can train journalists (especially under deadline) to automatically trust previous fact checks without independently verifying them (which is a good thing, and not a waste of time like the interviewee may be implying). High-profile stories by well-funded newspapers that are fact-checked get correction notices all the time. Deferring to previous fact-checks without verifying them independently can cause these mistakes to perpetuate. Even correct fact-checks in one context may have nuance that should be considered when applied to a new context, and these nuances can be missed when relying on an automated tool.

> "The third tool, stats-checker, enables fact-checkers to rapidly cross reference live claims about statistics with official available statistics. For now, this tool is limited to statistics surrounding inflation and unemployment."

There can be value for economic statistics, but if applications expand to other contexts, it's important to note that official figures can be egregiously wrong. New York State underwent a scandal with nursing home figures involving an FBI investigation where the state's attorney general "released a report finding that Governor Andrew Cuomo had understated the toll of COVID-19-related deaths in state nursing homes by as much as 50 percent" [0] [1]. I get that ideally, fact-checkers will use it as an 'assistive tool' instead of blindly accepting the results. But in practice, many people do blindly trust the recommendations of software all the time (especially under time pressure). I've seen it with people trusting questionable recommendations for writing edits on Grammarly or bad directions on Google Maps.

Good training can mitigate blind trust in recommendations, but because it's not guaranteed that good training can be available across all news outlets. At the least, maybe very visible warning signs in the software that suggestions are meant to be assistive instead of definitive would be useful (but then again, users can eventually ignore these over time).

Indeed. In fact, when the act is intentionally captured on video by its performer, not only is it already very debatable that it is an act of "kindness"... but it is also obviously NOT "random"!

There is absolutely no reason why a constitutional monarch would automatically need to be exempted from so many laws. In fact, the UK is the only European monarchy that has such broad exemptions. Liechtenstein might come close though.

What a strange reply. Of course I fully realize that synth companies exist...why on earth would you feel the need to point that out? I simply expressed surprise that they do, and gave my own reason why they do: that people like to impress others with their cool looking synth cockpits and keyboards. That, I think, is still the most likely answer, since they don't offer anything sonically (in fact, offer much less for the money) beyond software synths.
A big reason that Ontario can't / doesn't is that the demand centers in Southern Ontario are ridiculously far from the generation centers in Manitoba.

I don't disagree that timelines are important. However, here is the problem I consistently see:

Wrong Way: Most roadmaps contain timelines that are "We're going to build this specific thing and we're estimating it's going to take this long" (Even worse is if they're specifically bucketed by quarters with strict cut offs). Isolated estimates of how long something will take will always be wrong because it doesn't account for all the work in the system and the trade offs that brings with it. Basic Lean theory at work.

Right Way: "We're going to try and create this future state of the world, we'll know we're there as measured by x y z metrics, and we're going to budget this much time and this many resources to try and pull this off. Here's some high level ideas of how we can do this".

When you roadmap in the second way, you can still provide the business a timeline, but:

- You leave yourself the ability to pivot your approach along the way and still try and hit those measurables (futures not features, you want to be crystal clear about where you're trying to get without committing to how you're going to get there in any specific way)

- You transition the evaluation of your results away from a boolean (did you build this thing or not), to a discrete measurable, that still allows you to achieve some amount of success even if you didn't completely hit the goal ("Our target was a 60% reduction in support calls, and we were able to reduce by 40%").

I'd also argue that a kanban style roadmap (considering, planning, next, doing, done), is more than enough of a timeline even without dates, so long as each outcome seems reasonable enough to achieve in 2-4 month efforts. The reason why, is I can look at the right side of the roadmap and immediately understand that you've prioritized those Outcomes as being more impactful than the left side of your roadmap.

(Extreme caveat here: You have to have a leadership team that buys into this approach. Some leaders will look at this and just say WTF where's your Gantt chart. You can then either teach them the right way, do what they say and probably fail, or quit, your call).
You can see that setup used is the one provided in a package: single-server/medium. It makes sense to improve setup, but I recommend to provide better configuration by default. I think it is a common courtesy that system should just work at most cases without hard tuning.

Well, it was the victim's choice of words to describe her own feelings. I wouldn't get too pedantic over it. Granted the level of victimization is relatively minor in this case but her feelings about it surely are real.

Also, I don't think there is a clear and well defined line of exactly when something becomes dehumanizing. If the definition is "only when nothing else is more dehumanizing", then almost nothing is. But more importantly, when using strong wording to describe human emotions, it's not to be taken too literally. Otherwise next you'll be arguing with this woman about what you think she felt.
