This is just not true. Software updates break things all the time. Having software updated behind your back is incredibly inconvenient.

No it doesn't. The rules can be based around the effort, structure, and tone of your comments. Not the ideas expressed within them. I think the only "idea" not allowed is asking for violence and I've even seen those allowed.

fair point. I bet new apts have less lead in the paint.

That being said, SF is famous for their moldy condos. I've had apt neighbors that smoked cigars, cigs, and weed that crept into my room.
>The reality is that most people want to live in suburbs with a yard and a garage, not in a postcard.

Suburban houses are flats on the ground. They have all the downsides of apartments and all the downsides of houses with none of the benefits of either.

The Soviet model of small flat + country house is probably the only serviceable one. You have a house with enough land to actually grow something and you have a flat that is close enough to everything else that you don't need a car in your daily life.
Note that when I say no homelessness, I don't mean literally zero.

But Japan, for instance, has very, very nearly no homeless.

I guess they drawn the whole thing in an image editing tool and exported it as one image. A Table would've required much more effort, multiples images, styling, placement and many web requests to load them.

"The current consensus view of the medical profession is there is no cure for type 2 diabetes, however, appropriate changes in diet and exercise can help manage the condition or even reverse it. In this post, we will look at why the carnivore diet can potentially help reverse type 2 diabetes.

In particular, we will first look at what is type 2 diabetes and the process in which a person transitions from a metabolically healthy individual to someone with type 2 diabetes.

We will then look at symptoms, prevalence, causes, and current treatments for type 2 diabetes.

Finally, we will look at why the carnivore diet can help reverse type 2 diabetes and the available evidence."

> If they wanted people to stay there, they would have made the city livable, but given the amount of tourism, lack of transportation and very unique conditions, why would someone stay in venice?

I literally just got back from Venice. You can walk across the whole city in a little over 30 mins. What sort of transportation do you think you need here? There are boats, trains, cars to get into and out of the city, but once there, you can just walk anywhere.

If the design is sufficiently low cost, and since it it wont have drag when free wheeling, multiple motors could be ganged to provide different peak/torque efficiencies. High torque to get off the line and a cruising motor to travel at speed. Given the power to weight densities of modern motors, having multiple compact motors will provide zero weight burden in a car.
It’s not an “ideal” city in any practical sense. It’s a beautiful historic city, and that appeals to some, but it’s not practical.

It’s a city mostly of tourists and it’s not walkable.

New York, Boston, SanFrancisco, Seattle are all ideal walkable cities and some of the most competitive expensive desirable places to live in the US. Or look at most of Europe.

Most people in most of the world don’t live in the suburbs with a car and a yard. Most don’t want that. Americans do because we’ve been conditioned to think the city is bad (dirty, violent, expensive, not white) and Americans therefore don’t think it’s livable because they’ve never tried nor set cities up for success. Tons of people around the world and in the US grow up and raise kids in the city without a car and do it well.

> you saved your work by snapshotting the entire VM state

That doesn't seem likely, that wasn't the recommended approach to managing source code in Smalltalk — but I have no personal experience with Self.

Seems like it might depend on which version of Self is being discussed.

"To briefly recap, the Self transporter allows the programmer to take a program that adds some functionality to a snapshot and move that program to another snapshot. It accomplishes this task by writing the slots that comprise the program to a source file that can be read in and evaluated in the new snapshot to recreate the program."

No, I'm talking more about how quickly the UI draws and how quickly it responds when you interact with it. When typing and tabbing around the UI, does it react instantly or after a delay? SolidWorks is decently response, Fusion 360 feels slow.

I think that's quite honest reporting given both the volume of emails that will be sent, and how unwelcome they will mostly be. (I mean, I'm not American, so I won't be getting those, but I know which folder they'd be going to if I were)
I'm not sure we need more suburbs. At the scale they're on today, they're unsustainable without massive subsidies from city dwellers. They're bad for the environment, bad for health, probably bad for the community in general, etc. This is not a two-equal-sides situation IMO.
You seem to be focused on navigating the effects of the current system by relocating people. I'm not sure where you got this from.

I'm interested in modifying the system which allows for such outcomes, not managing the outcomes themselves. Please take a systems-level approach that seeks root-cause adjustment and not simply an amelioration of symptoms.
ETC has been pumped lately by former eth miners. I know because I've participated in this scam as a miner. ETC is one of the more volatile top 50 "coins" or "cypto", constantly being pumped and dumped, there is nothing actively being "developed" for it and there never will be. Just read the associated forums if you don't believe me, it's a pump and dump. Simple as.

Yes I've profited and no I won't give it to charity.

My opinion will never change, it's all a scam for pump and dumps schemes. There will never be a killer app attached to crypto. NEVER.

Most companies exist for motive X, which they do by providing value Y, then monetizing it via method Z. X is almost always "profit" and Z is something boring like selling physical items, subscriptions, ads, etc, so the mission statement is about Y.

The following statements are true but not very interesting:

Microsoft was never about computers on every desk and in every home, it was really about selling software licenses to make money!

The Super Bowl was never about football, it was really about selling ads to makes money!

Wal-Mart was never about saving people money so they could live better, it was really about selling physical items at retail to make money!

Facebook was never about connecting people, it was really about selling ads to make money!

Is the Facebook one any more insightful because the monetization strategy is advertising?
They have a plan to block the rising waters… balloons or something… they sank millions into that thing, probably for nothing.
I’d much prefer Microsoft buying a studio right now than Sony. When Sony buys a studio, I’m required to buy a $500 box and pay $70 to play future games from them.

That's a convoluted way to say you don't know of any demonstrated lifespan increase result beyond mouse and flies.

> it showed that it increases the influenza vaccine effectiveness

I was asking about lifespan increase, which was your point, not secondary effects.

> The dog aging study is ongoing

Which I already mentioned, and it's linked-to in my earlier comment.

> Some smaller scale study on rapamycin for dogs

Yes - it's literally the same paper I already mentioned in my earlier comment.

> more promising than rapamycin

The question I asked was: If it's only flies and (most) mice, is that really enough to call it "promising" in humans?

Not the comparative "which is the most promising of the many compounds which have been reported to increase mouse lifespan?"

> Rapamycin consistently shows effect

Really? You write that after my comment, where I quoted how "five studies that have reported either no effect or reduced lifespan when treated with rapamycin" and provided the citation that shows your assertion to be incorrect?

Only web 2.0?! We're up to like web 5.0 now! /s
You have to consider several factors:

1. Information (and source code) was not so freely available as it became even by the mid-90s, when the internet itself started approaching ubiquity and the Web provided much greater access to information.

2. A large part of the OSS movement has long focused on replacing Unix-like OSes with a FOSS Unix-like OS, which eventually meant GNU/Linux becoming the dominant system people rallied behind. This focus carries with it a language focus, C.

3. Smalltalk in the 80s and through most of the 90s was not easily used freely, and implementing it carries its own costs even if you have people interested in it. Without the common experience of having used it, there is less of a desire to create a free version of it (see 2, the common UNIX and Unix-like experience shared by OSS developers molded and directed the movement, even if not consciously).

If the Internet had been more widely available, Smalltalk more widely used and free (or at least much cheaper), then maybe we would have seen a different outcome.
The entire publisher even.
I never used TikTok but from what I heard and saw it is essentially a Vine with better UI and UX e.g. you scroll vertically for new videos and it has very good recommendation system.

P.S. I never used Vine too but then again I read and heard about it.

TikTok won because like other guy said; videos are the most immersive media and I claim that people having short attention span made them hungry for short form of entertainment like short videos.

From time to time I watch compilation of TikTok videos on YouTube and I think "compilation" as a media form is another interesting thing that somebody should experiment with.

Speaking of social networking; my understanding of social networking/media landscape is that Facebook sort of generalized social networking and social networking features and now apps like Instagram, Snapchat and TikTok are specializing in photos, ephemeral sharing and short videos respectively plus WhatsApp specialized in messaging but Zuck did a great job of making Facebook Messenger a standalone app and then specializing it according to demands of messaging crowd. And yea Zuck acquired Instagram and WhatsApp along the way so competing apps don't hurt Facebook and its family of apps.
Yea my bad! I mean that "an unreasonably large amount of their work is publicly available."

Ether market cap alone is about 50% of Bitcoin's (~230 vs ~470 billion USD).

Look at Coingecko's list of ERC20 tokens, all of the top 60 tokens have a market cap above $1 billion. You can go ahead and remove Tether if you want, there is still another ~$100B there.

Bitcoin is not so dominant as the maxis would like to believe. It won't take much for Ethereum (as an ecosystem) to catch up, and when it does the flippening will come fast.

Last time I checked (i.e. performed several benchmarks upon), parquet with Zstd was about the best way to store compressed data for really fast and small files.

Zstd is quite good, and is now (iirc) in the linux kernel.

People may have some issue with parquet being column based, which can make inserts a little slower for example, but for a large mostly-set database it is a very good choice. A tsv.zst file could be another way to go as well.
But like others, I really with hdf5 had some of these features of compression and wasn't so dang slow.

Yes, you could get 0 by subtracting (or xoring) a register with itself, then -1 by complementing, then 1 by negating, then adding to itself to get any single bit. Then synthesize any constant by adding those. The code would be impractically slow and large, though.
I'm actually not on anyone's "side" here, and I provided an example of criticism I thought would be fairer. I also explained (I believe quite clearly) why I thought one criticism was valid and the other was not.[1]

It's nice to see rust in an article not about rust.
I agree with the spirit of this post, but the idea of reading and understanding the code doesn't scale well. Perhaps a better way of expressing this is "trust, but verify". How trust is established varies depending on the size of the library and the reputation of the author(s). Verification obviously means rigorous testing.

Hmmm, I cofounded the company I'm at now specifically because companies trying to grow in my industry are tired of chasing "qualified leads".

So what we do is the work of getting to a request for bid or quote with target customers and forward those off to our clients.

A lot of "engineering types" including myself can be semi blind to the value of the MBA types. Or even just sales in general.

However, I think the content in the article addresses all that. They mention to:

- frame a value proposition as value creation by solving a problem for your customer

- set appropriate pricing, charge your worth

- and to network professionaly

If you're an individual running a FLOSS consultancy thats great advice to get going with sales, marketing, and B2B credibility. YMMV but for someone starting out they might not be able to afford a digital sales team or a large enterprise contract with an agency to drive growth.
Lack of standardization across vendors was by-far the chief failing.

Veggie foods need more energy to be digested so the net calories are lower than the intake even being negative for some. Livestock is fed 80% of the global soy production, rainforests are burnt to plant soy for that purpose, meat production releases methane and its manure lagoons leech into groundwater and end up in the sea, 82% of the antibiotics produced are administered to livestock, many are feed food waste including wrapping (this is allowed) so it’s not surprising than more than 73% of the analyzed meat and dairy products contain microplastics. As of 2014 there was about 23 billion chickens and 1.5 billion cattle around the world to give you some perspective there’s less than 8 billion people in the world. So we need to be more objective on where is the real ecological disaster.
When I think about what social medias are left, I can only think about LinkedIn. Interestingly, there seem to have been a recent surge of interest for that platform (especially all the cringe worthy posts that started to pop up).

After reading this article, I am starting to wonder if people didn't simply migrate to LinkedIn because of the degradation of Facebook's quality as a Social Network and as they still feel the need to share their lives, started sharing those cringe posts.

Politics as a subject is strongly discraged on HN.

It isn’t about Republican, Democrat, or Libertarian ideas it’s about their red button talking points. So you can discuss say taxes or abortion as long as you don't bring politics into it or get repetitive.

What most often confuses people is you can get heavily downvoted or upvoted for expressing the same idea depending on who shows up to a given discussion about say Nuclear power, Bitcoin, etc.

I did take it personally, because you are describing me - you shouldn't be surprised that you're talking to and about real people.

I've moved around every 3-4 years between being in the military and building a career in tech. I moved out of my home state because wages for tech workers where I lived were dismally low. I was rapidly approaching the point where owning a home was difficult, so I left and came out West. I'm here because I have to be. That hasn't prohibited me from joining and participating in communities. Maybe you'd be surprised to find out that most local communities are connected to larger communities; in fact, if you're someone who moves around a lot you often depend on these to land in places without feeling lost. All of what I've described here isn't unique to the states.

I did all of this so that I could actually afford to put down roots somewhere that I can sustainably have a job as well too. Turns out that's expensive and I'll go where I need to go in order to make that happen in the future.

You are gate keeping, you're just hiding it behind very charged rhetoric that sounds progressive.

I keep hearing about this new Facebook, but as an (infrequent) iOS app user everything looks the same. When does doom hit me?
Yep. I think it is useful to have a list of people you know incase you ever need to connect them, which is basically Facebook Messenger.

The blasting life updates at everyone know ever knew part of it though is just so unnatural. It was a novelty for a while but that stage is well over now. Facebook eventually got features to allow people to be more granular about updates but they have never really pushed them.

At one point I would use Skype with friends which was terrible. Discord now though is basically everything I could ever want for group messaging.
