My main point was to note that regardless of reason, we do seem to punish thoughts in some cases, so the last part of the statement I quoted doesn't quite match with reality.

The second part of my comment was more along the lines as to whether exposure to material such as this (material depicting children sexually) affects desire for material such as this, or behavior, for those that already desire it and/or have urges along those lines. I don't know the answer to that, and so an unwilling to make a blanket statement that it should or should not be allowed. There are plenty of things we restrict as a society through our government because we think it's bad for the whole. Sometimes there's little real reason for that, sometimes there is, and thus I'm on the fence until I know more.

My layman's understanding is that some aspects of sexuality are not well defined until puberty and what you're exposed to at that time, and then those are fairly fixed for life. If that's true, there are aspects to consider beyond an individual's desire, and a nuanced informed decision is worthwhile. It's possible the right answer here is not just "freedom of speech and expression" nor "protect the children", but a middle path with the most benefits and least drawbacks.
Not true. If 51% of bitcoin miners are malicious they can reorg as often as they'd like, so your transaction will never be included.
For what it's worth, I use my desktop for work and gaming. All AMD system for the past 3 years (CPU/GPU). No glitches or stuttering. Windows 10 with fTPM disabled since I have no interest in Windows 11.

Been AMD only for CPU in my desktop the past 15 years or so and haven't had these glitch/stutter issues.

All of this anecdotal, but I just find it odd you've never had a "stable glitch-free AMD system." But it might vary depending on motherboard, motherboard OEM and motherboard chipset. (Was on Asus X470, now on MSI X570.)
It seems like a bad idea to allow what is arguably the main selling point of the language to be turned off by a compiler flag so someone can build the rest of their program on top of that shaky foundation.

Whole hog or no hog, this is the rust way.
Fox news has been beating out the other networks in ratings for a while now though. I have no love for fox news, but it doesn't seem true that they wouldn't last. Even more far right news networks, that have been cut out of the normal media distribution channels seem to be doing fine with organic viewer support.

If Fox news ratings fall, it's because they are bleeding viewers as they attempt to move back to the center and ditch Trump. Notice that Carlson consistently has the highest ratings of any fox news show...
Interesting. Didn't know that. Looked it up and both Youtube's and Hulu's "Live TV" plans cost more than the incremental cost of Cable TV, so we're still back where we started.
<< Ethermine is already doing this on PoW with Tornado Cash

This only proves that ether is already too centralized.

FWIW. I used to mine eth on a small scale so I am obviously biased.
My experience is the complete opposite of what you describe.
An evaluation of edible insects and their role in the transmission of parasites
If you exploring a set of tables you have never touched before, it really neat if you could just type in:

FROM tablename t
SELECT t.<press tab>

and some form of autocomplete mechanism, either prefills all the column names from table "t" or suggests the list of columns and/or types associated with it.

This is much better than having to:
1. Run a SELECT with LIMIT statement just to get an idea of the layout.
2. Point and click through the IDE treeview.

Honestly, I don't think it helps a whole lot beyond this functionality, but I can see why folks who are accustomed to thinking in functional pipelines (from -> select -> map -> filter -> collect) can prefer this way of querying.

I think PRQL is one attempt at building something this way.[1]

The price started at $5/month when I first launched, and slowly went up to where it is now, $8/month or $79/year. Roughly half of my customers sign up for the annual subscription. I have no plans to increase it any further than this.

My paying customers are very happy when Plaid works for their bank. Churn has not increased since raising my prices, and new seasonal signups have not slowed down either. Spreadsheet people love the deep integration directly into their Spreadsheet and are happy to pay for it. Maybe you are not the target customer here?
Nope, mining needs to be profitable too. There is not enough margin in all altcoins combined to support the influx of GPUs coming from ethereum.
Taking two words that have a meaning when put together and changing that meaning is mangling language. opensource.org claiming open source means something different from what the phrase literally means is more harmful than helpful. I agree, we need to be able to talk about code that is actually free for all to use. "Open source" is not the way to do that.

Alternatively, competitors will arise that sell the products people actually want.

The hard part is designing regulation that curtails the oligopoly without preventing new enterprise.

We hit peak content years ago (more content produced in a year than you could ever possibly watch). As more and more streaming services use their data to tailor content creation, we'll also hit peak personalized content as well. However, it's split up between all of those streaming services.

IMO, all content should be available to license on a per-second basis (like radio music). Maybe with some tiers for more or less desirable stuff. Then streaming platforms could compete on features, and content studios could focus on content. And we can finally have one service for everything.
I don't know if this will help but --

-- many years ago I was the exact same way. I adored cycling but would find something to swear at at least once per minute. Pedestrians in the bike lane infuriated me above all, but really everything -- potholes in the bike lane, potholes anywhere, cars not obeying red lights, bike lane missing for a couple blocks, etc. And otherwise in my life, I was/am a pretty chill guy, it was very out of character for me.

Funnily enough, it was therapy that changed it. Turns out people actually have the ability to choose whether or not to get angry over things, at least when it comes to run-of-the-mill daily annoyances. Obviously an HN comment isn't going to magically transmit that ability, it really does take therapy to understand your triggers and how to reframe things so you can just accept the things you can't change without getting angry.

The weirdest part was that it wasn't a gradual change -- it was literally overnight. After I "got it", went for a bike ride full of all of the same situations as always and it was... fine. Just enjoyed the cycling. And stayed that way ever since.
what's worse, open source has nothing to do with freedom

I can be anti-crypto and still appreciate this.

First - clearly reducing the environmental impact of anything by this much is pro-humanity. (Although having the impact to begin with is another story.)

Secondly from a sheer technical coordination perspective there's a feeling of pulling off a complex dance. Makes it hard for any of us to claim our workloads aren't testable!
The more senior I get (decades of experience now), the more I appreciate languages that simply remove the mere possibility of entire classes of bugs. Even in Objective-C — a dynamic language with compile-time type enforcement — if something very weird is happening you have to start with “is that object really what I think it is?“
There is just no single universally and actually used IM ecosystem and with the expression of unchecked capitalism Web 2.0 has become (see what happened to XMPP), there is no chance there will be one. Besides that the asynchronous nature of e-mail is a highly desirable feature for everyone who has actually things to do.

e-mail is here to stay.

Genuine question: Why is it that whenever someone on a forum mentions the phrase "public transit", inevitably someone comes along under ten minutes later to tell them how they're obviously wrong?

I am in my 50s. My wife and I have raised children in a city. Many years ago, before transit got much better, we hauled them up into the high-stair buses and strapped their strollers into wheelchair spaces. Trips to the mountains were an annual affair, at best, on poorly-documented shuttle buses. These days, my kids routinely go hiking in the Gorge or out to the Peninsula on nothing but a transit card and a day pack.

My children are now adults and none of them have learned to drive nor have any interest in doing so. Almost our entire friends group is the same, even through the pandemic. The most common reason to be an exception and having been required to learn how to drive is because they got priced out of where they live.

Perhaps it is time for the auto-responders to transit posts to adjust to a wider view of society?
If you read it carefully you'll see that they "rewrote" it by replacing components of it. Which:

1. Allowed them to evaluate if it would actually work.
2. Allowed them to train the team on it in a scalable way.

The result is that the team learned Rust and Rust fixed a bunch of problems. They were appropriately pragmatic in their approach and Rust was appropriately pragmatic in it's solutions to their problems. If you are ever considering migrating your codebase for some reason this is how you should go about it.

TLDR: You are heavily mis-characterizing their team and this article.
> behind the backs of parents and doctors

Only behind the backs of their parents. They'd do what an actual doctor suggests if their parents weren't forcing a totalitarian gender ideology on their kids.
No PASC here but a similar situation with SIRVA. I mean the US government even has a reimbursement program for it, but yeah, don't bring it up in conversation, people either think you're anti-vax and give you that look, or use it as fuel for their anti-vax viewpoints. lmao
you seem to be too used to it to notice...

you start to type SELECT some, columns and can't get autocomplete until you add FROM afterwards, so you either type the query inside out (SELECT FROM table and go back to after SELECT) or just give up.
> you're assuming they don't have surrogates

That's the null hypothesis.
And my understanding is that this is a historically recent development, yes? That this bike friendliness comes from a conscious shift and a lot of hard work in the last few decades?

I saw a lecture a while back by the head of the San Francisco Bicycle Coalition, who spent some months in Amsterdam and talked about this. It was inspiring to think how much was possible here with relatively modest changes. Changes which seem even more possible with the pandemic, as a bunch of streets here got converted to low-traffic roads.

Recurring payment to start your car over the internet? Maybe.

Recurring payment to start your car by hitting a button on your key fob from 50 feet away (vs having to be in the car)? Not so much.

Furthermore, it would be perfectly reasonable for the maker of a $60k car to include in that price the cost of supporting internet connectivity for the lifetime of the car.
This reminds me pleasantly of http://grimoire.computer/ - "The Realm of Rough Telepathy", a reimagining of the early days of IP Networking as a mystic arts, somewhat akin to alchemists of old.
Denuvo "copy protection" is so universally loathed by PC gamers that several publishers have ended up removing it in updates to their games, for example Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

https://www.nme.com/news/gaming-news/mass-effect-legendary-e...

Note how getting rid of Denuvo also saved about one gigabyte (!!) of disk space.

Denuvo slowed some games down so much that playing online with a cracked version is considered cheating.

I am baffled they are still on the market. If I find out that a game comes with Denuvo DRM, I will not spend money on it. In times where GPU prices are daylight robbery and most people are paying with old hardware, I can't understand why game publishers would deliberately cripple performance of their games. Don't they talk to the developers to find out how much money it cost to optimize the last 10% fps out of the game in the first place?
During my firefighting days the Halligan bar was the "go to" for SO many things. Forcing doors for entry into structures, opening (slightly) stuck car doors, helping make a "purchase point" to insert the Jaws of Life (hydraulic spreader) tips into very stuck car doors, opening car hoods on vehicle fires, etc. These things are iconic among firefighters for good reason - it's a great tool.

One thing I always found really handy was a down-sized Halligan bar, one that was only about a foot long instead of the normal sized ones. For very light prying / twisting / poking activities it was great, and much easier to carry around without getting in the way.

All of that said, don't underestimate the utility of a nice long straight prybar either. Between those and the Halligan (and throw in a sledge hammer for good measure) you can open a lot of things. If that fails, it's pretty much time to break out the K12 saw.
the existence of ethereum as proof-of-stake makes it impossible to stop proof-of-work coins via exchange regulation/etc. It's trivial to run exchanges on ethereum and therefore they largely exist outside any possibility of regulation. Previously you could sorta leverage this in via the exchanges/etc but now there is no possibility of ever banning the environmentally-harmful PoW coins.
> That's blackmail-powered greed.

I really don't get people's revulsion to this model.

As long as you know the deal up front, what is the ethical issue? How can it ever be 'greed' or 'blackmail' to offer a service or product (a luxury one at that)?

Do your sums and then either the total cost is worth it to you or it isn't. Why does the payment model get people so riled up?
I read it as Rust forced the developers to be specific with their implementations and problems went away as a result.

I say this because I'm often _AMAZED_ at just how undisciplined the majority of developers I work with are wrt stability and error propogation.
Even that isn't accurate because many groups and exchanges will aggregate eth from users. Then users with far less than 32 eth are participants in a stake through their chosen representative.
I think the market that plays games on emulators is pretty different than the market that plays on console. I don't know if this will really bring the effect that the game devs want. It will only hurt the preservation and cultural impact of these games down the road when one isn't able to buy the games new but they can't be emulated.
No. Their role is a bit different. They exist to prevent so called nothing-at-stake attack. If each block has to be signed by known parties (parties selected in a way attackers can't control), and those parties are bound by slashing rules (signing two different blocks for the same height is grounds for slashing), than it is very hard to pull off nothing-at-stake attack and create an alternative chain.
Yeah, what's happened here is that Caddy is optimized for the most common use cases and gives them a "happy path." This simplicity is only possible in a world where something like nginx (and apache httpd before it) exists and people can figure out what the "happy path" should even be.
>As long as competition remains real I think there will always be a manufacturer or model that gives you close to what you want.

I can focus on a red triangle for as long as I would like. I can also change any of my major habits that I would like (and I have done so recently).

I don't think that study shows that we don't control our own actions. Certainly 99%+ of our actions on a daily basis are instinctual/unconscious, but my unconscious is something that I consciously shape and develop over time. Nobody has perfect agency in a particular moment; your immediate choices are the outcome of the agency you exercised over the past months and years. You still have the free will to change, it just takes time.

As I understand it there are 2 Dutch words for cycling [0]:

>Crucially, the Dutch distinguish between everyday cycling (fietsen) and competitive cycling (wielrennen). Fietsers (cyclists) are found everywhere.
...
The term wielrennen, on the other hand, is reserved for the sweaty, colourful and seemingly endless cycle races on which the people of Benelux are so keen.

In my experience, at least in my area of the US, mostly kids do fietsen - biking to their friends' houses, or the park, etc. Grown-ups on bikes are typically serious about their wielrennen and wear skin-tight gear and ride fancy road bikes.

I try to drive safely around any cyclists, but I think it's easier to cut folks in the first category a break - they're aware they're slow, they try not to be in the way, etc. Folks in the second category are sometimes frustrating to drive near - at traffic lights they cut to the front, only to advance relatively slowly when the light turns green, or they blow through a stop sign as a car is approaching, etc.

I wonder if we would have better rules, better set expectations, etc, if we similarly had 2 words to talk about cyclists in English.

Debates about free will are incredibly boring.

Basically, if there is no free will, there is no point in debating, because it is already determined what you will believe in a way that has no relationship to logic.

In addition, without free will a lot of what we consider human rights are meaningless. For example, freedom of speech, freedom of religion are useless in a deterministic world.

Morality itself is pointless in a world without free will.

Kind of like Pascal's wager, if you are wrong about there being free will when there isn't, it doesn't change anything. If you are wrong about there not being free will when there is, it is a big problem.
51% is Bitcoin. That's what decentralized means
It's fiddly, though. You need to pay for a VPN (and try to pick one you can trust, which if you're even a bit paranoid is none of them) or your ISP will shut off your service (happened to me), if you require subtitles there's additional hassle & they're not even always available, quality is sometimes an issue and fake or mislabeled torrents exist.

I got tired of screwing around with it and decided 50 cents or less a day per service was worth not having to. As a side bonus, I get exposed to a lot of things I otherwise wouldn't know existed.

Several developers have walked back their use of Denuvo after fan outcry, usually armed with data about how it adversely affects performance.

That's pretty much all we can do. Of course neutralizing Denuvo (i.e. cracking it to demonstrate that it's not meaningfully preventing piracy) would also help.
But Sony is already charging others for everything. Just to appear on PS4 bar, you have to pay a premium. I sincerely doubt, they were bleeding money ( unlike MS at the beginning of Xbox ) providing free online play. In fact, it was their differentiator.
