I particularly love how the chronological order of events ends up being wrong in a lot of articles.

It usually starts with an article being written in not-chronological order, jumping ahead at first, rewinding, maybe sprinkling in a few interludes, and then some journalist hastily copying it assumes it's in chronological order(?) and gets everything completely wrong. A common theme with accident reports involving something the journalist in question clearly doesn't understand.
snap is not video first — yes it supports video, but it supports pictures just as well or better since they integrate into chats.

> If you pickle data from an untrusted source . . . and then later unpickle it

That is not exactly right. The risk is when you unpickle data that was pickled by someone else or that was tampered with after you pickled it.
The issue is that in the majority locations, the amount of energy to be recaptured is too low, and the location of the landfill is too remote to justify building the infrastucture to distribute it. With bitcoin mining, the energy can be used on-site.

> See this is why I get annoyed at a body evolved for caloric scarcity. We shouldn't get tired, we should get hungry! Oh, pollutants build up in the brain? Burn more energy to get rid of them! I should be able to strap an icepack to my head

Well, you did identify the major problem with the unlimited overclocking plan. Burning more energy generates more heat. An icepack on the side of your head doesn't solve the problem; at some point your brain (and the rest of the inside of your head) will cook, which is fatal.

You said: "nothing from a plant is dangerous according to any scientifically-based diet". But... plants contain oxalates, lectins, and phytates just for starters. Their seeds, roots, leaves, and stalks are all well defended. Only the fruit is "meant" to be eaten.

In fact, if you go out in the forest and just start randomly eating the plants you find there, then you will discover that 99% of all plants are inedible and will cause you severe distress or death if you persist in eating them.

Plants use chemicals to fend off predators, whereas animals will often fend off predators by running or fighting. So once an animal is dead its defenses have been overcome whereas once a plant has been killed all its chemical defenses are still intact. Interestingly, extraordinarily few animals are unsafe to eat -- less than 1%, which is the complete opposite of the percentage of plants that are edible.

Also, your remark that we did not evolve on a carnivorous diet is just wrong. In fact, homo erectus bones are almost always found together with the bones of mammoths, which they hunted and ate for something like one million years. Mammoths are just one of hundreds of species of mega fauna that ancient human hunted to extinction. Also, to this day there are indigenous human communities that live exclusively on meat (Inuit, Hazda, Sami, Maasai).
Everyone is wrong, we live in a wonderful world where everyone can be wrong.

Abusing permission bits would be the same form of problem as abusing names, however permissions are part of a larger bitfield `st_mode` that contains other useful info like file type (e.g. symlink, fifo, etc), which would make sense to extend to include "visible" or whatnot.

Sorry, not trying to knock your idea, just had to let my inner pedant out a bit.
Stop being dense. The author was offering up the tip as a way to improve one's dating prospects and even went so far as to imply the tip would specifically help with online dating. The tip was nothing of the sort and is specifically worse online than in person because the quality in question already doesn't show much until you're spending a lot of time together and shows less still through dating apps.

IDK about your comment about self worth but you're the one who brought it up and it has a slight odor of projection. If you're average looks and average at text based communication getting first dates is not the bottleneck.

How does having fewer homes in total lead to more unhoused people having homes?

In these comments you seem more concerned about lowering the number of vacant homes than lowering the number of homeless people. I feel that's the wrong approach.
Yes -- I grew up in India and I am familiar with their diet. India has terrible rates of diabetes and has one of the lowest life expectancies in the world.
The argument is that vacation homes wouldn’t exist without vacationers, not that demand for vacation homes would lead to homeless people owning houses.

snapchat isn't the same

they both had implementation differences and primarily execution differences that had little to do with their platform, and more so finances

its not just video, its video+algorithm, its video+algorithm+content-subsidies

a lot of popular content creators on TikTok are still from the vine days, getting paid a lot more directly by the platforms now, as well as from whatever they can monetize on and off the platform.

Bytedance (TikTok) is willing to throw a lot of money at this, and they've been extremely high on compensation for engineers for years before TikTok reached critical mass.

Social networks aren't that important to stay connected. In countries where there's still load shedding or shitty internet, people connect via whatsapp and gmail and you'll see advertising signs and paint on buildings and even cargo ships that just contain a whatsapp number and a gmail address.

That's their form of the internet, because everything else won't even load with speeds less than 100kBit/s.

Also: Whatsapp somehow works on dumbphones. I don't know how (yet) but there's apps for KaiOS, Samsung Bada and other old phones. I wonder if vendors reverse engineered the APIs and implemented their own clients.
I think people are conflating "weight" with "fat". It's very believable to me that they lost 15lbs in 10 days, some fat, probably mostly water.

I know my weight can fluctuate as much as 10lbs in a day depending on how much I've been sweating, eating, drinking, exercising over the course of the day.
Most carnivores argue that "you're not doing it right" if you avoid offals. Some take offals in pill form or blend some into burgers. There are lots of actually delicious ways to eat them, especially in Asian cuisine (admittedly I'm biased here).
> They would probably sweep the Russians out of Moldova too. They may plausibly assist in a coup in Belarus.

I think those would be quite unwise.

But the thing is, Russia pulling out might lead to the biggest political prize of all - the end of Putin. He'd lose too much prestige. And he knows it. If he visibly loses, he's done. Therefore, he will keep fighting until others at home remove him, until he wins, or until his military is in such a state that it cannot continue.
Friendster isn't currently the largest social network. The point is that people associate the biggest product of the category with the category itself. Like web search is synonymous with Google.
If you come from a wealthy background, you get the really depressing version: the school bully who loved ICP posts about how they got a new job with McKinsey, the slimy moron who used to spread shit about you is the CEO of a up-and-coming startup, and the guy who was too dumb to understand how truly dumb he was is now at a senior position in a thinktank.
This is why we are building Notos[1], most of the photo sharing websites evolved in social networks (or died).

We chose to not make our user's album public by default, where most competitors are doing so and benefit from the SEO involved, but we want to focus on sharing with family and friends, not the whole world.

Now the elephant in the room is monetisation and getting people to pay for their usage, this is not easy but we firmly believe it can be done but probably not with a trajectory allowing you to raise VC money.

You’re describing a dysfunctional arrangement in both cases. If the only way to ensure that your requirements are met is by paying hourly so that you and the provider have the shared expectation that you can say “just do it, I’m paying you to do it so do it” then you’re working with bad people.

The problem with hourly is that it is a totally different way of running a project from fixed cost: fixed cost front loads the challenges and provides a great opportunity to assess the suitability of your provider, it demands clarity, a shared understanding, it is immediately apparent if a project is going to go to shit: a fixed cost project (managed properly) can’t start without understanding the end.

If someone can’t give you a fixed cost that you can rely on: find someone else. If someone can’t give you the confidence that they’ll actually deliver what you want: find someone else.

As a software engineer, I bill a day rate for most of my clients because that’s their preference, and it’s easy money for me so I don’t refuse the work, but I actively discourage it because it is terrible economics for clients: it’s burning money. On a fixed cost project, 100% of my time is spent delivering. On a day-rate project, 50% of my time is wasted — because if you’re paying for my time, the dynamic is exactly like that of an employer employee relationship… and to spend a day in any office anywhere in the world, and you’ll find at least 50% of everyone’s time is wasted.
I mean, I’ve been using e-readers since 2006 or so and very rarely get books from the library. Honestly, they usually don’t have the books I want to read or if they do, there is a many week wait. At that point, I just buy the book myself or I’ll find it another way.

I’m not going to pretend that’s the same for everyone, but I’m equally not going to pretend every person who has an e-reader is constantly getting stuff from the public library.

What does "disruption of circadian rhythm" really mean in layman's terms?

"influence our biological clock, including night shift work, extended light exposure, changes in sleep/wake cycles and altered feeding behavior,"

Is it anything that deviates from going to sleep when the sun sinks and sleeping through till you naturally wake up when the sun rises?

What about those:

Waking up at night because you have to pee?

Waking up early because you got something on your mind (like work related problems that need solving)

Going to bed late because you addictively browse HN?

Jet lag after travels?

Not taking an after lunch nap when I feel like it?

Needing to be wakened by an alarm?

Generally bad or not enough sleep?
If vacation homes are lying around unused while homeless people huddle in the streets, it means not enough expropriation from the rich is going on.
Facebook does not optimize directly for time spent, it's too hard. I know because I worked on these algorithms. Time spent is a metric Facebook monitors and works to increase over time, but basically no work is done to increase time spent directly. Facebook also tries to give more reach to content that people like. There are whole teams of people that work on that, they are just less good at it than TT.

Tiktok optimizes for similar metrics. There's no difference there. The main difference is that they are more focused and have been doing short form video from the ground up.

> The reality is that most people want to live in suburbs

Maybe. But there's plenty of people (literally billions) that would prefer to live in a dense, walkabe city. The atmosphere, culture, and freedom that brings is beloved by many, including myself.

Venice is having trouble because the city is ful of tourists, who don't buy "normal every-day things", don't use/need residential infrasturcture, and don't work in the city. Coupled with the thousands of AirBnB's that take revenue away from the city, the poorly developed local economic sectors, and the lack of modern residential infrastucture, you have a city in rapid decline.

No problem, thanks for asking.

Plunger starts on the bottom with rubber side up. Put cylinder on top. Fill with water. Cap/filter (I use a metal mesh) on tight.

Then, invert with cap/filter on top of the cup. This is where you can pull the plunger out. Let it drip into the cup until halfway down the cylinder and then fill with more hot water. Put the plunger on top again 'a bit longer' (minute?) to stop the drip and let the newly added water brew. Then press the plunger in.

This way, I get a larger cup of coffee than the aeropress normally makes and not much dilution since the water still goes through the grinds. =)
You want an audience for your disagreements and maybe to cause a rise in people (trolling). But that's not fun for the audience which is why a lot of communities become insular bubbles to keep the annoyers away.
The traditional line of thinking is:

* you're building a web-ish application and need to store session data

* you don't want to go through the overhead of building a strongly typed relational table

* you know minimal operations stuff

* just use redis, its easy to deploy, easy to code for, and available on all major cloud platforms as a managed service

---

The problem is there are tradeoffs and session storage becomes a fundamental architectural decision once your application matures. So something you added as a once-off so you can get back to feature development is now a foundational pillar.
6000 calories seems absurd. But having played chess tournaments I have lost a bit weight during them despite eating generous amounts of bacon, eggs, hash browns etc at the hotel breakfast, then more crappy fast food in the evening, with mostly sleeping and relaxing in between. So I feel like there must be something to it. Although 6000 kcal in one game is ridiculous, even factoring in nervously pacing the playing hall when it's not my move.

Your pricing is a little misleading and hard to understand in my opinion. It took a few minutes, then i realised the viewer day passes seem to be what will drive the price.

Why is a small audience a requirement?
Interesting, I can only think of three cases:
1. Homeless were killed (e.g. nazi germany).
2. It's a family honor matter, like in Caucasus countries. There are no retirement homes as well, as every family takes the burden of taking care of their elder, because it would be very unhonorable. Although I still doubt they have 0.0% homelessness.
3. Official numbers don't reflect reality.

Really curious to learn other ways to solve the problem. What those other countries you mean?
Some of the more ancient philosophers might agree with you, but most don’t.

> Unfortunately, Smalltalk arrived to too much hype before it's (potential) time, and was crippled as production language by it's image based development and deployment methodology.

I was exposed to image based through Pharo, and I've found the idea to be awesome, as it allows very tight feedback loops on development. I see people complaining because it was nontrivial to extricate a finished program from the environment and ship it to customers in a "tamper-proof" opaque form. What puzzles me is why didn't Smalltalk play a bigger role on the ascension of free and open source software, given what was a bug for proprietary shops (hard to ship a opaque binary) is actually a feature for copyleft development (fully inspectable source code together with full development environment included by default). The GNU-Smalltalk development appears to be mostly stale. The torch of free smalltalk is carried most by Squeak and Pharo today.
Well. The expenditure is a form of risk. Having a lot of cash outflow is something they want to prevent. So yes and no I think.
I've had an OpenEVSE[1] for a couple years now, it works great and is quite hackable. Interface is ESP32 based, newer firmware versions provide MQTT-based control and feedback. Historically it used WiFi but just last night I made a PR for to improve Ethernet support. There are a few rough edges in terms of "build your own", but if you're interested in this stuff it's a great starting point and hardware platform.

I’m skeptical you actually did grow up in India but there’s a lot of factors besides diet as to why India would have a low life expectancy.

Could you do it with shifts and increments? Constant loads would look just like multiplies, a glorious RISC apotheosis..
I don't think energy is the limiting factor here. A better analogy would be with the limits of computability. Garbage collection tasks are postposed to when we're asleep, but they can only be put off for so long and there's a capacity for "stuff to consolidate later" that fills up.

Something that you probably could get is a nob to control the adaptability/efficiency setting on your brain. At the cast of learning/remembering nothing, you could "execute" for longer. We know that real brains make this trade off, but the transition from one mode to the other is slow because it's reactive.
That would have a devastating impact on existing vehicles, which just happen to be owned by voters. Consumers already decide what they want, if they can afford to. Many are locked into financing agreements for vehicles they can't afford.
Can you come to an interview and refuse to answer questions? It seems crazy that the onus for an interview is on the person to attend and show they have done nothing wrong rather than the police to prove via other evidence that you meet some standard as to necessitate being interviewed.
I agree with the conclusions, they will definitely be switching to a more addictive model. But it seemed like there is an implication that the previous model was not 'addictive'. Once Facebook figured out how much mentions were driving engagement, they added lots of features to try to drive people towards mentioning their friends in order to send push notifications. Leading to a sort of "addicted to your friend group" situation.

I get that tik tok definitely creates another paradigm shift, likely for the worse, but it's not like social networking is not without issues ina very similar capacity.
How would it? The two have nothing in common.

> “It’s sad that instead of simply stopping sending spam emails, Republicans engaged in a bad-faith pressure campaign — and it’s even more unfortunate that Google bought it,” Daniel Wessel, DNC deputy communications director, told The Verge in June.

The problem is that what google (or whoever) classifies as spam, and what is actually spam from the perspective of the user, are two different things. You could send a highly desired email to a single person, and have it marked as spam because the IP address you got auto assigned spammed people in the past.

So I think the idea here is that google will just never treat them as spam, because they actually aren't spam(at least, in the manner that penis enlargement pill emails are).

You can just unsubscribe if you don't want to receive them, I think? Do campaigns send unsolicited emails? I assume they would need to gather your consent by signing up for a mailing list somewhere before they start messaging you.
Since the title is "build your own" implying a simpler installation, I much prefer the comparably reasonably priced offerings from Splitvolt.

Satisfied customer, no other connection to the company. They also offer different plug sizes right on their website, for those that have less common outlet sizes:

https://www.splitvolt.com/product-category/ev-chargers/

Obviously Chargelab seems to be offering more in terms of having an API and programmability, but this is quite a large jump up from the usual solution of just sticking the charge cable that (possibly) came with the car into the wall. Splitvolt is nice as a solution in the middle in between these two extremes.
Unpopular opinion: So it turns out that while bringing the world closer together is a nice long-term goal, the world isn't ready to be crammed into one giant bull-pen, which was more Facebook's style.

Their utter inability to come up with consistent standards for policing their walled garden, upon having their hand forced to need to try, indicates that maybe that's not a good goal in the first place. Maybe it's okay if not everyone's on your social media engine.
NYPD does this with their marked cars too (standard patrol cars with ALPR rig attached fore and aft). Ostensibly it's the meter maids expediting detection of parking violations but the data obviously has other uses.

That makes the country of Italy rather recent (just like most European countries), not the concept of Italy. The concept of Italy is much older than the country (for example, “Italian” was used as a language in the Venetian republic, and by that it was meant Florentine)
