Last we played, the "send from one base to another" building (I forgot the name) worked much faster when you were in the sending base instead of the receiving one. So when topping off resources before launching to an adjacent map, it would usually be most efficient for everyone to hop to the resource-sending base for a minute and then hop back to the (now fully-supplied) bridgehead, then finally launch to the new map.

In this case it's more the game design that's questionable (why does stuff behave so differently based on whether or not we are in the map?), but there simply are occasions where you have to check or fix something real quick, and requiring everyone to more or less stand by in those situations is pretty dull.
"What about this time around we build products whose primary focus is actually the stated mission? Share with friends and family and the world, to bring it together (not divide it)! Instead of something unrelated, like making lots of ad revenue! What a concept!"

I really liked the article but am perplexed by the naive ending.

Friends/family and the world are two very distinct use cases. Most people, young people included, are taking the friends/family part private, in chat apps. Then they may or may not engage in a "public square" social network, but probably with a burner account.

The public square part has failed in epic ways. The idea that you can just "build" something that unites people whilst dodging a laundry list of threats and toxic behavior seems optimistic, to say the least.

And yeah, let's not run ads. Ok, fine. But how will you monetize instead? These seem pretty important questions to me.
Much as I (a relatively young person) am in favor of more housing, isn't it also true that a surge in homebuilding would eviscerate the wealth of a lot of older Americans who are on the verge or in the midst of retirement? I feel dread whenever I look at the retirement savings numbers. So many elderly who'll have to live on a knife's edge financially.
You are confusing USA with USSR.
If they sold well they would be built. People would rather rent an apt that uses all their disposable income than level with reality that a tiny 2bd home is what they can afford to buy. "but the amenities, location, and view in an apt" I can assure you an expensive home has all of these.
The solution is to follow curators who comb through the independents for you to find what is good.

HN itself is one of these curators, and it does require effort. You can find others.
Or maybe, as the article suggests, the CDC is just slowly responding to the fact that most people don't care that much anymore, and haven't cared for some time.

These kinds of takes are dumb and sophomoric, not smart or wise, and same goes for the poster to whom you are responding, who willfully ignores the vaccination and mutation that have occurred in the past 2.5 years to make the situation different.

This creates a taxable event. If people want to realize gains at a much higher tax rate I'm fine with that.
Abolition of INCOME taxes. Consumption/use taxes locally and tariff/import taxes federally seem reasonable today and 250 years ago.

Proportionally maybe yes. But count-wise Russians are losing more soldiers than Ukrainians.
Hard agree here. Stopped taking scraping projects because the sites always change. No matter how general you design it.
The thing that irritates me is that people then venerate these accidents. Yes, some accidents are happy; many are at best neutral or least-worst or what have you. And then *ix culture dies in a ditch that we must keep all of them, forever, as though they were the result of a carefully thought out process that produced the best of all possible worlds.
By "modern" I am thinking:

* something which an IT department would likely hand out for a Windows 10 user

* good screen size (13"+), good resolution/brightness to work off

* certainly oesn't have to be a gaming laptop, certainly, but something which is performant

* a model released in the past 3 years maybe?

* weight != a brick

Not trying to be contentious, it's just my viewpoint -- and I'm probably a minority; I'd just say that probably the BSD user base would grow if there was a focus like this

Full Employment in a Free Society (1944)
Does you know of a good resource to learn this kind of research/fact checking. I don't have an academic background but recently got interested in improving my ability to identify "fake news" and assess the validity of some paper.

Where does one even start? Even finding the original paper seems a challenge, news articles mention one and then just to another news article. If I search the web for the title and author it feels like most websites are just rehosting the content, like with manuals/datasheets. Not sure how to get started here but your comment makes me think you might know some resources.
Your comment is nothing but a quote from the article. Why?
How do you think this should be done?
Please expand, it sounds interesting
The prime minister has been caught many times giving out federal money to entities close to him and his family.

That story above resulted in 50 million being given out to island friends.

Just recently they gave out 1 billion for a student job program that didn't create those jobs. This foundation wecharity was paying 300,000 in speaking fees to Trudeau's wife, mother.. finance minister and other party friends.

Not to mention the conflict of interest with his family own family owning vaccine companies and his anti-science approach to pushing vaccines.

Nevermind the multiple times he proudly wore blackface, brownface when he was younger.

Boring no.. and very little to be proud of.
Considering that e-mail is essentially an utility at this point, this doesn't surprise me.

In many countries it's considered vital to democracy that political campaign ads be privileged. I don't think the US are any different?

Also from an outside perspective, the portrayal of the republican party in this article is again... eyebrow raising. Nice editorializing though. I guess polarization is still the main goal of political reporting?
Persistent capillary rarefication in long Covid syndrome
> Why can't America make small 2 bedroom homes anymore as seen in 1950s suburbs. It's either a mansion or an apartment now for new housing.

Because it isn't the 1950s anymore. The middle class that was able to afford those homes no longer exists, the rich have gotten exponentially richer, and everyone else has or is increasingly being priced out of housing.
I bet food poisoning would do it. Because, like you said, they aren't burning those calories - 6,000 calories in a single chess game would leave them in a giant pool of sweat.
Because more and more of us want walkability and all the amenities that come with it. None of my age ~25 friends have plans about moving to the suburbs, but we are disappointed at how NYC rent increases mean we will struggle to afford a nice place in Manhattan.

Unless you're massively over-extended, the usual result of a housing price crash is to require you to hang around in whatever house you were in at the time of the crash (because the fixed loan payments don't change, and you can't afford to sell).

But even if homebuilding increased to the point of keeping prices steady, it would probably be enough.

Demographic collapse may take care of the issue. How can we need more apartments when population begins to decline?
No kidding. Facebook had so much potential, when it was deployed in universities. But then it became a social network about everything. Zuck had a lot of potential when he was thinking about P2P file sharing site Wirehog, but Sean Parker "put a bullet in that thing" and VCs like Peter "competition is for losers, build a monopoly" Thiel shaped it into a money making machine that's less about being social and more about "eyeballs" and mindless cat meme videos. In the endgame, their algorithm selected for clickbait outrage that put peopl[e into echo chambers and tore our society apart.

Imagine what social networking could be!! The best days of social networking are still ahead. Now that the pretenders are leaving, we can actually start solving the problem. Social networking is dead. Long live what will emerge from the ashes. It might not be called social networking, but it will be, just better.

It'll be called "Community". I don't have to imagine. We've been building the Community Operating System for 10 years. And it's available now. No, it's not Mastodon. It's Qbix :)

Yes, it's open source and you can use it now. It's basically a Wordpress for Web 2.0 ... keep in mind that Wordpress powers 40% of the Web 1.0 web. We want to power 40% of the Web 2.0 social web.

Back in 2014 my cofounder and I met with Tim Berners-Lee and his SOLID team. There was a movement underway to decentralize the web. Today, Jack Dorsey is trying to build "Web5" along the same lines but with Microsoft ION / Sidetree protocol, rather than SPARQL (@timbl's obsession) semantic data and JSON-LD.

It's coming along. It's always been coming along. But it's open source so many people don't hear about it, until they do. MySQL took 8 years, NGiNX tooks 10 years but eventually they took over. Open source always does.

Still not burning 6000 calories.

If only there were other PoS chains.
I'd really like to know the reasoning for that as well.

I was in the market for a year and was interested in something outside of a city. I could afford the larger 5 bedroom homes, but had absolutely no use for that amount of space. Nice 2 bedroom homes in the suburbs just aren't a thing for some reason. Smaller homes exist, but the quality drops dramatically.

Perhaps there is an untapped market for high quality 1-2 bedroom homes outside of cities. I'd certainly buy one.
His post is quite well summarised by his second sentence. "Gell-Mann Amnesia" gets quoted a lot as "why trust journalists when you know they misunderstand stuff you understand", but Crichton's actual article wasn't just targeting the media but expertise in general and the idea that there was any point to making any predictions at all about the future, without any evidence base and with a layman's drive by attack on climate science, economic forecasting and medical testing ethics. Ironically considering the contexts the Gell-Mann Amnesia meme gets used, Crichton's article that coined it was a pretty broad ranging rant including about academics doing science!

And I say this as someone who's cited the Gell Mann Amnesia effect meme before without having come across Crichton's original article.
Assuming this is a real question- the company doesn’t have 18 CEOs on the team. It does have about 18 investors listed. Does that clarify it?
Hm, I've actually thought about that a lot. I'd probably keep the bytestream format. It is insanely useful. However I might open up multiple streams. Stream one is basic IO. Stream two could be formatting info. Streams above that implementation dependent, but you could probably start defining them for keyboard/mouse/HID IO or audio and video. Then to make it work over the internet just shove it over SSH or TLS.

The one downside that has is if you separate the formatting from the data you can not recreate the session without keeping time info somehow. So, might need a fix for that.

The only other real alternative I'm aware of is moving the formatting into the API "stream" that communicates using the machine ABI. This is a terrible solution. It's what Windows uses.

Aside from locking your account so that only followers can see your tweets, I’ve been offered the option to restrict the audience of tweets on twitter (although I’m not sure if that was a transient experiment or if I’ve blocked my noticing the offer of the option or if I’ve asked it to stop asking).
Those houses, by in large, are not in places where people want to live. Per the first Key Finding in your article, are you going to force the homeless to move to Alaska, Maine or Vermont?
I am not judging anybody, you can have whichever diet you want.

Nothing from a plant is dangerous according to any scientifically based diet.

We did not evolve with a carnivorous only diet, there are many studies about hunter gatherers and they have mostly a vegetarian diet with occasional meat.

Their gut microbiome is much more varied, and a varied ecosystem is a resilient ecosystem, therefore you are less vulnerable to pathogens bacteria.

If your stated company mission is not the thing that produces revenue then it will eventually be sacrificed for the mission that does produce revenue.

Examples of mission statements that don't produce revenue: Google, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, most news organizations.

Microsoft's missions in 1980 was "A computer on every desk and in every home". Their mission produced revenue. There are lots of examples of mission/revenue alignment.
Are you suggesting that there are vacant homes in Japan that it wouldn't make sense to house US citizens in, or just saying random stuff?
There are approx 5.7M vacation homes in the US. There are also approx 550,000 homeless people in the US. A system which allows such misallocation is fundamentally broken. If this is what effecient resource allocation looks like, then I want something else.

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.

They used the N-back task, a standard task used for inducing mental effort (e.g. [1]). So in this case they have N=1 for the easy group and N=3 for the hard group. Then they compared glutamate concentration across groups.

Not sure I buy that. There are a a fair number of people who would be "middle class" by the definition of being able to afford a two-bedroom house (if there were two-bedroom houses to be had), but who can't afford a large three-bedroom house. (It may be fewer than in the 1950s, but it's a lot more than none.)
Make your own.

They are all based off EDICT data, which is a flat file you could load into an editor and search directly.

Get the edic2.gz file here:

http://www.edrdg.org/jmdict/edict.html

OK, that is unfortunately not in UTF-8 but in an outdated encoding EUC-JP. No problem, Glibc's character set converter to the rescue:

$ gunzip -c edict2.gz | iconv -f euc-jp -t utf-8 > edict2

Some sample lines from the middle of this almost 200,000 line file:

発券 [はっけん] /(n,vs,vt) issuing (a banknote, ticket, etc.)/EntL1477300X/
発見 [はっけん] /(n,vs,vt) discovery/detection/finding/(P)/EntL1477310X/
発見器;発見機 [はっけんき] /(n) detector/detecting machine/detecting device/EntL2855554/

This is super easy to parse.

What is that "Ent..." field at the end? The Wiki documentation explains it:

"In addition, the EDICT2 has as its last field the sequence number of the entry. This matches the "ent_seq" entity value in the XML edition. The field has the format: EntLnnnnnnnnX. The EntL is a unique string to help identify the field. The "X", if present, indicates that an audio clip of the entry reading is available from the JapanesePod101.com site."

The (P) identifies a common usage word, but the documentation says that this is not reliable.

you want stability (aka reproducibility across a fleet of workstations/servers), but also security updates too, right? but what do you mean by consistency?

and you don't want to create & distribute a new OS image for every security update, right?

... anyway, the whole problem is that only upstream can provide these kind of security updates. it's a big (and very very convenient) lie what stable distros are doing, but many times packages have to work their asses off to maintain this illusion. (when they have to patch/backport/hack packages.)

Rust as language and compiler provides the tools for this (stability guarantee, editions, etc), but the various devs that provide Rust crates might not.

sure, if Rust would artificially hold back new features that would definitely provide this "stability", but it's no wonder devs adopt new features fast. because they want them, it makes their life easier, and it usually makes users happier too.

what the Rust ecosystem is doing (and NodeJS and TypeScript and quite a few high-velocity newish ones) is providing updates to users faster.

of course there are some users that might not care about this, hence debian oldstable, and so on.
The answer is because it’s no longer cheap to build housing. Developers would loose money building small houses to be sold at market rate. Hence why everything is luxury - it’s those super-size-me margins only this time it’s not greed, it’s necessity. Materials are expensive, labor is expensive, standards for new buildings are high.

The other reason is that during the baby boom we already built on much of the conveniently situated land (flat, close to existing areas and infrastructure, vacant or agricultural). Now we have to go and build out infrastructure, perform grading, tear down the previous building, clean up its toxic waste, etc. It all costs money. Much of Silicon Valley was built on orchards. Now we’re trying to build on superfund sites.
I guess it works because you're not personally attached or motivated at solving them.

I would argue that “play dates” for parents of kids 2-5 would be a (small) niche.

Parents with young kids may have other friends with similarly aged children, but many don’t. It can be isolating because so much of your non-work life/time becomes child focused. Kids that age are too young to have friends from school or activities. Some can strike up conversation at parks, but many find the inertia too much.

Good foundation to expand into clothes/toys reselling/gifting, babysitting co-op scheduling, nanny share, etc. which could all be monetized .

Probably a good niche for Facebook though I would rather see someone else do it.
