Because we as a species can multi-task. Many billions of dollars are spent on cancer research every year by the NIH alone. Imagine if we did all our research as a species in series as opposed to in parallel.
Reminds me of this story from This American Life that they replayed recently about a retired physicist diagnosed with Alzheimer's who loses the ability to read a clock:

https://www.thisamericanlife.org/583/itll-make-sense-when-yo...

What is interesting is he is able to analyze why he has difficulty reading a clock. (As he explains, it's a surprisingly difficult problem.)

Fascinating and a bit heartbreaking. I'm happy to hear you're coping and recovering. Best of luck!
Easy to complain on the internet. Hard to change a hard left into a sweeping arc in the middle of New Haven.

Even ignoring the money, if you try and do a project like that you are going to get slapped in the face by all the same "cutting apart muh neighborhood" rhetoric that gets used against highways. Grade separation and "just paying those people to go away" are both expensive enough to be non-starters.

I’ve been pretty happy with my NAS choice (knock on wood).

I spent about $1000 on a synology and drives and that’s given me 10 years of 10TB so it’s actually pretty cost effective too. Cheaper than Dropbox or OneDrive.

I only wish there was some community disk swap program that would be good for reliable off sites. I looked into storj but you have to share like 100mb or something to make enough to pay for 1mb.
I always thought that not licensing x86 would come back to bite Intel.

They've been on top for so long that they've got complacent about many things (power, heat, security), meanwhile many others have been making their own CPUs and the supporting software ecosystem.

The world is now poised to replace x86 and there's nothing Intel can do about it.

The writing is on the wall for this company. Hopefully their network and GPU divisions survive the purge.

Show HN: Doxx Me – See how doxxable your phone number is
I built this tool that checks publicly available data against your phone number. I was surprised how one my numbers (which I text and sign up for services with) has a lot of information attached to it including my full name, all previous addresses, relatives, emails, and more.

Thanks so much for digging this out! Very useful to know. So, the notability methodology fails massively, as many have noted. Jesus and Muhammad trailing Britney Spears by a factor of 4 or so is my favorite so far ... LOL. But the question becomes, how can the notability be improved. Of course "AI" is probably the answer here, in the same way it is becoming the answer to so many questions/problems. (Just as the answer to every legal question is "it depends".) Two elements pop to mind: (i) Accessing more things outside of the Wikipedia/Wikidata database. (ii) Within the Wiki world, making associations like Jesus ~ Christian ~ bible ~ best selling books.

Intersectionality a soooo american because it's like your whole society is so much about fighthing for you own class / race / gender AGAINST the other that someone had to make a new word recently to explain what European nations have defined by "universality" in their constitutions for centuries.

For example in france there was a real movement to make school accessible for "every citizen regarding of race, gender and class" during the 3rd republic. But still the new trend now in america is to promote "black-only school". WTF.

Sorry for trolling especially since we don't disagree but sometimes reading american forums is a constant facepalms i just cant' help.
The hierarchical nature of the registry elevates old INI files to at least TOML format in this regard :-))
i read your thing, and i find it unbelievable that so many people here would have such nice, similar things to say about it. Who comments that a thing is "comprehensive"?
Yes that's the common argument, and there's often a good chance it is better. Hard to make a generic policy when details matter a lot
That's interesting. You must have some much better train routes out in the big empty spaces in between. What line is that?

But RNA / DNA isn't sufficient for life, right? How are proteins synthesized from that string of nucleotides without ribosomes? And nucelotides randomly reshuffling certainly doesn't explain how ribosomes would be created.

It's theorized that under the right conditions amino acids will bond to become proteins without needing the mediation of a ribosome. So it's certainly possible that with enough primordial soup you could get proteins. But that doesn't explain how the nucleotide string ends up getting treated as a reusable blueprint for proteins.

That seems like a pretty big gap.
Yeah but AFAIK it's only for payouts and not for charging to the end customer.
That was way more pleasant to listen to than I ever would have imagined it'd be. Thanks for sharing! This is definitely a bona fide work of art in my book.
>Fantasies of dynastic wealth are one of the few things you can buy with $2 these days — a price that hasn't gone up since 2017.

Yep, I'll probably go buy a ticket today after work. I only buy MegaMillions or Powerball when it reaches these outlandish amounts. Read somewhere in an outdated article that Powerball only reached an expected $2 payout per ticket when it's a +$550 million pot.

That graph of the tickets bought in the article is pretty amazing too. If the pot isn't won tonight I would love to see an update.

> The Registry is just yet another option

It's not just "another option". It's a system standard option that exists, and can be easily accessed programmatically. There's no equivalent in Unix, since there is no standard, and whatever is available will depend on the distribution.

"Here's a built in option, but do whatever" is very different than "do whatever!".
Undiscovered mechanisms of self replicating RNA arising by chance seems very likely though. That’s my point. I agree there’s a lot of good questions to be answered. I think it is likely that we will answer them by staring at nucleotide soup.
> As I got older I sort of dismissed them as antithetical to creativity

Yah, there's a lot of criticism of the "directions".

My kids build big elaborate modular buildings from the directions... and then leave them as-is...

And then try to build equivalently complicated things from loose bricks (sometimes copying a little bit of a mechanism or a trick they've seen elsewhere).

I think the instructions are great. They just shouldn't be the be-all, end-all.
The four steps that take time when booting a Linux system are:

* bios/UEFI

* bootloader (GRUB/...)

* Linux kernel

* service management

bios/UEFI often have settings to reduce the time waiting for user input. Same goes for the bootloader.

You can use `dmesg --boot` to analyze the boot of the Linux kernel.

You can use `systemd-analyze critical-chain` to find out about what slows down the start of the services.
Thanks, I googled for a minute trying to find that quote but couldn't remember it exactly.
The government may not be profit-motivated (debatable), but it is still cash-motivated. Lottery money in many states go to a variety of services, like education and state parks and such. This does create a motive to encourage spending on the lottery as those services end up relying on the lottery earnings as much or more than conventional taxes and fees for their funding.

The top reply to this is excellent.
It's ignorant to compare cloud gaming, where you NEED the cloud to play that game license, to docs/photos etc.. where you can download them if the cloud service shuts down.

Everyone on HN predicted this, and the only way I would have ever trusted Stadia would be with a CEO-level promise of refunding all purchases if they shut down within 10 years.

That's honestly the magic of Nvidia's streaming service. You're paying for the streaming, not the game. You then link your Steam account and play. So if Nvidia's streaming service shuts down, I still have the games I paid for in steam. It's genius, and the only way I'd ever consider paying for cloud gaming. While I don't like the Xbox game pass method, as you own nothing, at least you're renting and not buying, so you're not technically losing anything if you leave or they shut down.

It was utterly shocking that Google did not copy Nvidia's streaming games bough on other stores idea, especially with so many people are fearful of a Google shutdown.

It's also a mystery to me why Valve hasn't done what Nvidia did. Presumably they will at some point. Unless they don't want to risk other cloud providers from pulling their games from steam.
In theory all we need is a libconfig with a standardized interface and distro specific implementations.

There would be two use cases, storing hierarchical/tree like data aka JSON, YAML, etc and arbitrary graph like data with complex references.

The same could be done with the shell. libcli would be called to parse the command line arguments and your program will have an entry point that receives the parsed data.

libcli could also be used to produce structured program outputs which then can be fed into applications, possibly skipping the serialisation deserialization steps.

Since libcli will have a standard interface each distro can choose their own CLI format or whether they output their data as JSON or CBOR.

In both cases the benefit is that the choice of the data storage mechanism has been decoupled from the application.
Steroids are used for a lot of medically important uses. I used steroidal inhalers to heal my throat/lungs after a flu-like something several years ago. Worked wonders.

My experience is the opposite - you can easily guide someone on a path to learning how to code, but the 'soft' skills you mention are often impossible to change in someone: like how they interact with peers, or how they approach challenges, or how they learn. These things are infinitely harder to evaluate during interviews but have far greater impact on your impact at work, as far as I can see.

Listen sir, cloud storage is forever, it frees you from having to worry about the details of having to store your files like you would have to with physical storage. Just upload once and they'll be there forever. Pinky swear.
Just for giggles, here's what it would cost to upgrade a 256GB MBA to a 200TB one in today's prices, if such an option existed.

Currently prices are:

256GB $0

512GB $200

1TB $380

2TB $740

So the equation seems to be Price(n) = 2 * Price(n - 1) - 20 where n is the number of upgrades from base, and Price(1) = $200.

Let's assume each upgrade is a doubling of capacity, so extrapolating...

128TB $46100

256TB $92180

So 200TB should be somewhere in between, right around $70K.

I, for one, would use neither CSS nor XPath for that, but my own selector language:

<div class=article-section>
<div></div>
<div class=price>{.}</div>
</div>

It is the most robust. It picks the price in the article and not some other price that might on the page. And if there is no price, you get an exception that there is no price, rather than an empty result

It will never form a house. But it doesn't need to, and expecting it to is a misunderstanding of evolutionary processes.

What it needs to form is any kind of a shelter that is better than not a shelter. A 4x8 sheet of plywood that happens to lean against a brick forming a roof is all that is required for a first house.

Life is a product of randomness. There is no intelligence or will going on in nature's laws. Neither of those things are required.

That is in the article, which mentions there's a 50% chance you're going to share the prize.

So let's do the math. 35 cents go to non-jackpot prizes, so the ROI on that is 35 cents, leaving 1.65 for the jackpot. ROI on the jackpot is $1B / 400M odds. That's $2.50 shared amongst the winners. 50% of that is single winner, 50% is shared so $1.25 + $1.25 / 2 = $1.875. $1.875 is greater than 1.65, so the ROI for this lottery is slightly positive. (I don't have the numbers on odds of 3 or more sharing, so the ROI is actually slightly less than $1.875, but it won't be much of a reduction).

Assuming the rumor about Stadia is true, then in hindsight, this is directly tarnishing the reputation of those other products. Every canceled product does, but it's strange to see it in writing. Although I wouldn't give this comment much weight, it's clearly dodging the answer.
Until someone looks in that employee's wake and sees one dumpster fire after another and the employee being the common denominator.

Slight OT, but I wish “on steroids” wasn’t used in serious publications to refer to improvements and overall positive evolutions. I know it’s colloquially accepted, but we also wouldn’t express someone being very focused as “being on Adderall”, or a very creative idea as being “on shrooms” in a scientific publication.
Isn't that only true if the consumer is fluent in GraphQL syntax?

curl https://example.com/some/endpoint?someq=yup

versus

curl -d '{"query":"query Q { someMethod(someArg: \"someValue\") { ...ohgawd } }"}' https://example.com/graphql

even typing that out I had to carefully count back the closing braces

And, from the JS PoV, similar burden of the "interior" language

I wonder how that compares to all of the sports gambling going on these days.
I find your comments distinctly funny. Perhaps it is your hat/wig day ?
The technology has been rock solid for me. It really is good enough to be a console killer anywhere there is fibre.

The failure here is marketing and under investing in AAA games. If they'd poured money into publishers other than just Ubi or partnered with Valve on making steam libraries playable it could have changed the industry particularly given the supply chain issues with gaming pc components.

What a waste.

You could say the same thing about CPUs. Do you buy the $400 CPU that has good performance? Or do you splurge for the top of the line Threadripper that costs a few thousand? It is always a trade-off between price and performance. If the situation is right and your job justifies saving a few minutes for lots of money, then go for it.

If I needed a ton of disk space and I could buy a 50TB HDD for $1000 or a 50TB SSD for $5000 right now, I would opt for the HDD. But that is just me.
They kind of are if you consider how many goods are still shipped by trucks.

It’s interesting that it describes the React version as the Single Page Application version.

Because this is just a template and most of the elements point to # and would require linking in the code. This is a plain html/css site that just requires putting life into it using javascript or more css :)
A nice thing about Smalltalk and derived languages, like Pharo, is that they manage being written in themselves nearly down to metal, and that improves learnability a lot, as one can dive deep only knowing the language itself. I code mostly in Python, but sometimes is hard to take a deep dive there without smashing one's head against the C bedrock underneath, at least for somebody like me, that doesn't really know C.
IMO GraphQL shines when used more like an RPC framework. I've never found the "Graph" parts to be worth the complexity.

Have you looked at Tumblr lately? It always sounds just like what people say they miss nowadays from social media. Its feed is chronological by default (for now), and it does allow you to customize your own page in a lot of ways. I feel it's inevitable that it'll become a soulless ad space like all others eventually, but it's not there yet.

They're trying to monetize it with different approaches at the time like being able to boost a post's visibility without giving you any targeting tools, tipping, or giving another user a button to spawn crabs on the UI for a day.

Will it last? Probably not! But it's not a terribly awful dystopic place yet.
My SO and I used to travel to see family (they've moved) and there's a fillin' station on the way that we'd stop at. We always bought a single ticket just for kicks. It broke up the drive and got us talking and laughing for the second leg of the trip. I totally get the entertainment value.
Facebook was never a peoples directory at the start. It was similar to how instagram is now because you could only find your friends and other people your age in your area. Instagram keeps this by not being a peoples directory and thats how the original facebook users want to keep things.

From the perspective of Europe and Asia at least, the rise of the far-right and far-left was already in motion by 2006 and was catapulted by a combination of increasing tensions with Muslim minority groups and the Great Recession. It is almost a steady rise rather than something fueled by social media. The social media in these regions is probably too left-wing for the mainstream.

I think there are a lot of physical things that people judge us over: body type, height, weird quirks like an eye problem or a big mole. Attractiveness of the face is very important in how we're treated.

I feel like we'll hyper focus on whatever our weakness is compared to the norm, and it turns into the center of the world for us. The most important is the attitude and vibe you put on. There are inspirational figures in government, industry and entertainment that buck the trend and use whatever personality traits to overcome the physical. I can point to any number of ugly people who are treated as if they weren't.
