Why do you sound so angry? You've totally missed my point and really sounds like you just want to argue for the hell of it zzz. It's fine if you don't understand what I'm saying but why the grief? I literally live in the middle of nowhere, incredibly cosmopolitan I know, and also have access to 24 hour gas stations and a few fast food joints. I have lived in an Alpha- city (see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Globalization_and_World_Cities...) and visited multiple Alpha and Alpha+ cities, and New York and London, though. And what I'm describing is not a "cosmopolitan view of the world", it's an observation that there are some cities which achieve a density whereby there is a sort of nighttime undertone of life that you can't really feel in less dense places. It's much more than "just a pharmacy and McDonalds" open 24 hours. If you've never felt it then I'm sorry, you probably can't relate. It doesn't mean my entire anecdotal experience and worldview needs changing... I don't even know how to do that because I'm simply relaying my experience not making any assertions about validity or worth of other places in the world. I'm fully aware most people in the world, including me, are quite happy not living in a world city. Sheesh...

> and got this far without anyone in my family getting COVID

I assure you it’s just dumb luck, not superior intelligence like the tone of your comment suggests.
There is still a lack of common sense. Anyone who looked at the age distribution of covid patients and deaths knows that there are hardly any children getting sick from covid, and everything I heard points to the few ones having almost always other severe diseases (cancer, etc), so covid being the drop in the bucket.

They are still pushing for vaccine mandates for children that will not change anything materially.

The same applies to mask mandates. The only studies I have seen only show a marginal impact on preventing infections. At the same time we are told new variants (omicron) are many times more contagious that the variants the masks were not really stopping in the first place. Mask mandates have become a similar security theatre than bugging old ladies with their liquids at airport security.

The problem is that on insisting on measures that even laymen can tell are bullshit, they are undermining the credibility they will need the day there is something that needs to be done that will make a difference.

Credibility takes decades to build and minutes to lose. Look at Ukraine. No one believed the US intelligence when they claimed Putin was serious about invading, because of the bullshit they pushed 20 years earlier with Iraq.
The government can short term manipulate the dollar and as a result the dollar value of various assets. That's what causes the short term volatility. Long term though the value of assets resistant to manipulation will go up, while the value of the dollar will steadily go down as it always does.
I mean, it's pretty similar to investors in VC or PE or mutual / hedge funds: you are investing in the managers skill / talent to generate you a return.

Ya know, sometimes I just want a drink.
I really hadn't heard of examine.com, so I checked it out.

Verdict: Meh. It's a low-information site that reminds me of what you'd see on the Web in the late 90s. Lots of white space.

I didn't spend much time on the Supplements, and maybe that's what leads to them looking like "misinformation." Maybe other less-reputable sites link to them a lot? Just a wild guess.

On the whole, it's mostly safe, conventional wisdom. It's not "health misinformation" and I don't see any reason why it should be suppressed. It belongs on page 2 or 3 of the search results.
Thanks for the pointers, I’ll take a look!

Thanks also for sticking through the conversation in spite of some rough patches.
> Or I could be misunderstanding something about solar panels - do they continue to charge even without direct visible light? I don't know much about them.

They diminish output in proportion to the amount of light. In a charging situation where you require at least a certain voltage to push anything into the batteries, I presume it will just stop charging well before the panels are 100% dark.
Turns out that even if you're down 90% you can still go down another 100%.
If you're going to go off of them, do it right by tapering. Do not do like I did with sertraline and just go cold turkey. The payment for that was 5+ years of "brain zaps" or hypnagogic hallucinations, the sensation of an explosion or electrocution occurring at the exact moment I am about to enter sleep.

I still occasionally get them. Do not recommend.

That is conflating two types of good intentions. One is that the writers have did intentions for society (what the parents means) or that they are good for a little group who write them. I don’t think anyone believes tax cuts for the richest is good for society anymore, and certainly not the people who wrote them last time around. They just wanted to pay less tax.

> In 2019 Aprial, there is 180M lines of BCL, while C++/Java sits at ~300M.

It's... not obvious to me that that's a good thing? The ratio of configuration code to code in the things being configured being that close makes me think that BCL is something that's ill-suited to what it's now being asked to do but there's too much of it to realistically replace.

Maybe it's amazing and the problem it's solving is so complicated that even a language designed very well for solving that problem leaves you needing a lot of it, but I don't really consider "a staggeringly large amount of code has been written in this language" to necessarily be an endorsement of that language's quality. Citing Google's 300M lines of Java would also be a silly reason to pick Java in a project where you'll never interact with the Google ecosystem.

“In the current study, most COVID-19 cases among students and staff were acquired from the community and approximately 10% of cases were acquired within school. The researchers found that for every 100 community-acquired cases, school districts with mandatory masking had approximately 7.3 cases of in-school infections, while optionally masked districts had 26.4 cases of in-school infections. In other words, school districts with optional masking had approximately 3.6 times the rate of in-school COVID-19 cases when compared to schools with mandatory masking. These data also show that mandatory masking was associated with a 72% reduction of in-school COVID-19 cases, compared to districts with optional masking.”

Scorched was amazing. I also had a lot of fun playing this 3d remake a few years ago. Might give it another shot now: http://www.scorched3d.co.uk/
I mean, you can do that, but you have to consider a lot more things:

- Are these assets authored in a way that's friendly to my game engine of choice? IE, will the materials import correctly, will animations be correct, are things scaled properly, is the Z axis up or is it forward, etc. Having dealt with importing files between various engines and 3d modelers, seamless importing and exporting is no small thing.

- What's the license, and are the licenses standardized? Do I have to pay royalties or record attribution?

- What's the selection on these sites? Do I have to enter my payment info into like 20 different sites?

- This also only covers art/sounds. Unity has a huge selection of code assets that are incredibly useful.

None of those are insurmountable of course, but having one place that solves all those problems is great.
I'm here with you on this. Tried bigcos multiple times. Couldn't last more than a year. Nobody wants to do this job and that's why they pay a lot for it.

I recently finished Warren Buffett's biography Snowball, and this is a recurring theme in his life. His integrity is one of the most important factors in his success; he got a great deal or gotten out of a sticky situation with regulators simply because people trusted him to do the right thing.

This took decades though, he'd been operating in this manner since he was a child, but it wasn't until he was in his 50s that all that goodwill began to work for him on an unimaginable scale.
Using EVM-compatible blockchain that too on major chains would just increase blockchain size. and i just see it as deviation from the original in goal of having decentralised finance.

Microbial ethanol could be beneficial, though.

It’s criminal that US governments give over $7k in tax credits for buying electric cars, which are usually over $40k so are the domain of the middle to upper classes at best, but does not provide any tax breaks for ebikes at all.

The government could literally fully buy 5 high quality ebikes for the tax credit it gives for a single EV.

If they would give a 50% tax credit for eBikes and push a program to convert a single car lane in most roads in cities to protected micromobility lanes to build out a complete network, they could eliminate the gas

Slippery slope.

There are peeves worth noting, and there is site breakage which crosses boundaries. I think this case crosses a line, or at least gets damnedably close.

In the case of paywalls (or other forms of content-gating, such as GDPR-attributed geoblocking), for example, HN has adopted the position that those which can be reasonably bypassed are acceptable. This has become increasingly harder over the years, though there's been an ongoing arms-race with various alternative-access mechanisms, ranging from Google Cache, cookie clearing, and at least in the past couple of years, Archive.Today which often (though not always) works.

Noting that a site has a hard and insurmountable paywall is a legitimate gripe. Many of my own comments are links which provide access, and I'll often include such comments with my own submissions.

The article here is literally impossible for me to read on either a full-colour tablet or my preferred driver these days, a monochrome E-Ink tablet / ebook reader. The site itself further discourages feedback.

In the longer term, my view is that if there's no push-back against such practices, the Web will ultimately become if not comletely unusable, then generally unreliable. It's well on its way there.

Similar issues affect other realms of information and communication infrastructure and systems. Robocalls, scams, and other forms of telephone abuse. The general death of broadcast television and radio into increasingly irrelevant and bottom-fishing advertising churn. Postal mail with its junk and bulk mail and scams. Newspapers devoid of news.

Ultimately people will simply desert these. And I'm not sure what replaces them, if anything, or whether or not an effective attempt can be made to keep the cycle from repeating. I'm ... getting more than a little tired of it.

I also remember what the Web was promised to deliver, and helped at least in part to make it do that. I'm feeling some aspects of a life wasted in that regard.

I just got mine about a week ago and I’m totally in love with it. So far I can see that the bike can replace the car for most of the time (exceptions are bad weather and when I need to carry things) and my bike route is definitely more interesting than my car route.

The only problem I see is that bikes are also very easy to be stolen and the police here (Finland) doesn’t seem to do much about it.
I used to play scorch a LOT back in the day -scorch3d is a fun game but somehow it almost feels like a different game to me. If for no other reason than because you don't really have to think about the horizontal plane in regular scorch.

Both are a lot of fun, though!
Agreed. Organizing a fun multiplayer experience now often takes some amount of work either to get good enough to catch up to the aspirants and those approaching their level, or to organize an insulated community of moderates/casuals.

And if you have time to devote to playing a game just in organizing such a community, you have to ask yourself if you'd rather not spend that time just playing the game itself and catching up?

I think these kinds of middling communities are groups of friends who enjoy a variety of games together at which point, you need to make sure you have the right equipment to play 80% of what the rest of the group is playing online or you'll be left behind. I am in a position where I can only play about 30% or less of the games my online friends choose to play with my current setup.
I like the idea of searching a curated list of domains, but I'm not sure that doing the curation yourself is the best approach considering the huge number of useful but niche websites in existence.

I wonder if simply parsing all of Wikipedia (dumps are available, and so are parsers capable of handling them) and building a list of all domains used in external links would do the trick. Wikipedia already has substantial quality control mechanisms, and the resulting list should be essentially free of blog spam and other low-quality content. Wikipedia also maintains "official website" links for many topics, which can be obtained by parsing the infobox from the article.

The CentOS project itself called Greg a founding member in a blog post interviewing him in 2019, well before the Red Hat/CentOS events in December 2020.

https://blog.centos.org/2019/03/greg-kurtzer-centos-founder/

For what it's worth, The Register refers to Greg as a CentOS founder in their first Rocky article:

https://www.theregister.com/2020/12/10/rocky_linux

If you have some references to back your assertions, I would very much like to see them. You're not the first person I've seen assert that Greg shouldn't be called a founder of CentOS, but I've yet to see that backed up.

Also, you seem to minimize the non-technical, especially legal, work around setting up and maintaining a distribution, but I don't understand why. In terms of legal work, trademarks need to be registered, non-profits need to be set up to fund critical items like build infrastructure, and more. Each of these seems like exceptionally valuable, if not critical, to the success of a distribution.
> all else being equal.

if rents rise, and other CPI items also rise, then it's not true that this is "all else being equal". If other items also rise, it means that there's more money being spent, which implies that people have more money to spend, and thus, income must be rising.

If rent rises are offset by costs of other items going down, then CPI won't rise - and this would happen if the rent is consuming more proportion of income, and thus, less is left available for the other CPI items.

I dont know which situation we are currently in today. I suspect that income is rising, and thus, inflation is high. Increasing rates would push up rent, but not push up income, and thus the proportion of rent vs income grows higher and thus lower inflation (in the future).
> SearchHut indexes from a curated set of domains. The quality of results is higher as a result, but the index covers a small subset of the web.

[citation needed]

The quality of the results right now are not very high, and in theory I don't understand why one would believe a search engine with a hand picked set of domains would be expected to outcompete a search engine that can crawl the entire web and determines reputation by itself. This also ignores the fact that a lot of domains have a mix of high quality content and low quality content, for example twitter or medium. If you are going to rely on domain-level reputation then your search engine is going to be way behind the search engines that can judge content more specifically, which is all of the other search engines.

If you were to tell me curated domains is just a bootstrapping method and as the search engine evolves it will change, fine, but right now the search engine is so simplistic that the theory of how it might be good is really the only point. And if that underlying theory is dubious, and the infrastructure is simplistic and obviously won't scale, then I don't know what is interesting or novel about this right now. Doesn't seem worthy of reaching the top of HN.

Political talk shows are one thing, but basing the show around comedy-first was the key. You can’t just claim that because talking on television about politics existed long before the daily show means the daily show did nothing innovative or that it didn’t popularize anything.

Many browsers don't zoom, or zoom in useless ways --- full page rather than fonts, as an example.

Firefox/Android hides zoom under three clicks: Kebab -> Settings -> Accessiblity -> Font Size

It applies the same zoom to all websites, and does not remember per-website zoom settings.

I'm increasingly going to my newest favourite browser (at least on Android & e-ink), EinkBro, which has font zoom directly on the toolbar, immediately available.

It's easier to access / change credit card settings than font size on Firefox / Android.

I've used the browser family since Netscape days. I'm wondering who the hell is running the show there.
