What do you mean? Hopefully they will be surrounded by family members and friends, none of whom were burnt out or financially ruined by looking after an elderly relative but instead are receiving and providing love and support while robots do the "dirty work" as it were.

You might look how elderly patients and other end-of-life patients are treated by their (almost all quite low-paid) carers. It's pretty shocking, but the experience of being the person providing that care is also pretty shocking.

I think you underestimate the emotional and physical labour involved in looking after a dying person, and in particular a relative. I saw (mostly remotely) my mother in law die and her two younger daughters restructured their lives to help her -- and this despite the twice daily visits from the Diakonie to change dressings, attend to medication etc. And, because that was in Germany there was no meaningful financial burden for this process.

There's another factor: my mid-80s mother (herself a physician) doesn't want human caregivers for privacy and prodding sake. She doesn't mind human physiotherapist or actually talking to another doctor about her complaints. But she doesn't want people fussing over her. And her mother in law (my grandmother), from a completely different culture from a completely different continent, also hated the consequences of losing her autonomy. She was still delivering meals on wheels at 89, and when she finally needed assistance in her 90s, just couldn't stand it.

IMHO machines that support more autonomy for people are an unalloyed good.

ROFL good point! Imagine if this whole time, critics were right, both that Tether is insolvent, and that it’s used for crime, but didn’t realize that (the truths of) these two criticisms “cancel out” and result in keeping Tether alive…
Honestly, I don't understand why manufacturers are spending any money at all designing new ICE power trains. I can sort of see the argument for hybrids, but charging networks will make them obsolete very soon.

On the other hand, I also expect politicians to pull in the 2035 mandatory phase outs of gas vehicles.
They’re remarkably popular in developing economies, even with their emerging middle classes. The manual model of a typical family sedan is usually at least a couple thousand USD cheaper, which is enough to make manual the most popular option in a lot of places.
No, it's a Debian bug.

If you read the thread linked in the comment you replied to [1], the Debian folks added a JSON file to `/etc/chromium/policies/managed` when they should have edited `/etc/chromium/master_preferences` (a different JSON file). If they had done that, there would be no message.

Everyone on the thread agrees that's a better solution.

> Most web servers TCP slow start algorithm starts by sending 10 TCP packets.

Of course big names that run CDNs have fancy custom stuff that directly puts data into mmaped regions for the network card to use, but generally, it's the OS handling TCP connections, and this means that the web server, a user space process, only interacts with the TCP connection through a streaming API. It can't issue individual TCP packets or ACK packets or anything. Raw socket access requires superuser privileges in unix.

Outside of that it's a great article. Didn't know about this particular trick :).
The answer is easy. Middle easterners want kids for cultural and religious reasons. I know any talk of religion and/or culture is verboten in modern American discourse but it's a significant factor in most the world. Yet it makes most Americans uncomfortable
We live in a global era. Any novel system should assume that it may in future be operated cross-border, distributed, etc. or used in combination with such systems. Many countries even have multiple timezones internally. Given such a circumstance, any use of local timezones is by definition a presentation layer concern. Not recognizing this at design time is a surefire way to create needless technical debt with zero functional benefit.

> I go for a four mile walk every day (audiobooks!), but doing it when the sun went down to avoid the 100+ heat was punching a hole in my work day, so I adjusted my schedule to wake up earlier and do it in the morning.

Interesting. I do a mile run at lunch, and find that "punching a hole in my work day" is beneficial for focus, not a detractor. Things I like about my lunch run:

- short, fits into 1 hr schedule with eating/getting food

- guaranteed sun exposure even during winter

- rare to have schedule conflicts due to before/after work commitments, so easy to be consistent

- good reset if needed

- running + mulling things over works well for me
Maybe we just have better cars? I kind of had the same experience. Remembering to shift at the right time is one thing (but happily the car starts whining if you forget), but starting to drive is as simple as releasing the clutch and pressing the gas.
> If you think of us all as one race, the human race, the fact that a few corners of the world are declining in fertility

It is not a few corners of the world. It is currently "developed countries", but we have no reason to believe that the non-"developed countries" will do any better.

> is arguably an environmental victory that could soften some crises’s in the future. We are like 99.9% genetically similar, why risk gutting the carrying capacity of the planet to preserve the 0.001% of genes that give us sparkling blue eyes?

Putting to a side for now the blase attitude to several societies slowly disappearing due to lack of births:

1. Much of society is built around the implicit assumption of there being more people in the future.

2. The carrying capacity of the world is only of interest to us as long as we are around for it. All of humanity suddenly disappearing tomorrow would also do wonders for the world's carrying capacity.

I tried GeForce Now a few years ago, overall it was a rather underwhelming, and quite weird experience; Felt more like logging into a remote desktop.

Which made the process of entering login credentials for my uPlay account (wanted to try some Assassins Creed game) kind of creepy.

The final experience was predictably a bit latency heavy and lots of artifacting/unclean picture quality from the video compression.

Tho the Microsoft version of it on the Windows 10 Xbox app, sees a bit more use from me due to GamePass; Way more streamlined, easy and quick way to test a game before I decide actually download several GB worth of it.
It's not even true "in Australia", given the South Australian government, famously pro-Tesla and pro-renewables, has been ramping up the production of NEW gas peaking plants and the refurbishment of old ones.

Australia is doubling down on gas. 100% renewables is the fever pipe dream of a delusional environmentalist who ignores gas in the renewables equation (renewables and gas go together hand-in-hand, because batteries aren't up to the job of smoothing supply across demand).
You forgot about the mess that is SPF, DKIM, and DMARC.
Yeah at our church the average is probably 4-5. There are dozens of families like this. Were planning 5-6 like you.

That’s 30 min of light exercise, five times a week — less if you are using electric assist. It’s the minimum requirement to not be considered sedentary, which would triple your health risks.

If you think that’s too much and you don’t have a serious physical handicap, you are about likely to have one.
Unless there was a pre-nup and depending on the state they married in, option 1 could mean he gets half of their collective money anyway.

I find the clutch is actually what gives me the feeling of control. Also, I skip gears a lot.
Your SSD comment aside: not everyone lives alone; during the lockdown we had four people using the network simultaneously during the day, plus of course some of my other machines using the network. We have friends with three or four kids, which would have magnified that demand.
IVF is incredibly expensive and certainly not guaranteed to be successful. Might have something to do with it.
> a catastrophically failed attempt to switch away from the previous polio vaccine

There are broadly two types of polio vaccines: the kind that inoculates the gut (OPV), taken orally, and the kind that inoculates in the blood (IPV), administered intravenously [1]. (the "I" stands for inactivated.) Both prevent polio, the disease. But only the former is sterilizing, i.e. keeps you from spreading poliovirus. It is also, unfortunately, the one that can leave the vaccinated person's gut to infect someone who is unvaccinated.

So if you have a polio outbreak in a vaccine-deficient population, administering non-sterilizing vaccine will keep those people unparalyzed. But it will do nothing to stop the spread. The sterilizing vaccine will help stop the spread. But at the cost of introducing vaccine-derived polio into the mix.

We had the luxury of using only the non-spreading, non-sterilizing vaccine in America. That's the benefit of elimination: you can switch to the lower-risk version. It does not seem that we were able to keep it.

I doubt I'll never buy an automatic transmission vehicle. If that means never buying a new car after some point, then so be it. I've had quite a few manual transmission cars over the years and have driven them through all the things people complain about like steep hills in icy winters, stop and go traffic for an hour or two commute, etc. and I'd still go for a MT every time. Not only is it cheaper and less complex, I thoroughly enjoy driving a manual over an automatic. Every AT I've ever driven (rentals, friend's vehicles, etc.) have just felt boring and in some limited cases, less in control.
Watching her friends and my friends' wives go through it, we've been scared off.

Add to that, the usual HN phenomenon that we're observing how the world and our countries (USA & Korea) seem be going down the toilet, and that makes us feel hesitant to bring a new human being into the world, especially when there are kids already here that could use a loving family.
I would pay $25,000 cash for a new manual transmission '00s-style mid-sized pickup with hand-crank windows and knobs for the temperature and radio.

Last time I drove a car from after 2018 it started automatically keeping pace with the car in front of me on the highway, and you couldn't manually close the trunk but instead had to push a button and wait for it to close.

I hate modern cars.
Yes, you'd think the car would get the most aggressive when the pedal is to the metal. Instead, I noticed that a strong, but gradual increase on the gas will provide more power.

Agreed. I'm highly disappointed that Nvidia rolled over so easily, with zero resistance. They should have told the publishers to pound sand, as what they're doing is nothing like Stadia or Game Pass. They're just letting me play games I purchased from the comfort of my own couch, as far as I'm concerned.

He had the same problem in AMD+Windows. Things finally got better on a beta version of Windows.

If he hadn't been using Linux, the entire experience would have been completely mysterious. Microsoft releases an update and problems magically go away. Not much of a blog post and not much to understand.

In general, it's a lot smaller problem. With the current SEO spam, the goal is to get a visit, not necessarily actual engagement. To get something out of amazon affiliate links or similar, you actually need to convince someone to click the link and go to amazon and buy something. That's a quite different beast.

Sure, and I'm free to value my home at 1 gigadollar.

Sellers are free to decide what prices they will not sell below, but they do not determine price. It takes buyers and sellers to do that.

I'd have a better argument that my home was worth $1 billion if inside the guest bedroom there was USD 1 billion. That'd be a pretty good way to convince buyers that my home's price was pegged to the value of one giga dollar. If it was $900 million in cash and $100 million in IOUs, that'd still convince some people too, so on and so forth.

I gather the issues with Tether are a) we don't know just what they have because of a lack of transparency, b) from what we DO know, in chasing yield, they've picked up some higher risk assets that they say are baaaaasically the same as cash (Commercial paper from Chinese real estate developers iirc?) that could be susceptible to losing value in a financial contagion scenario, and therefore be worth less than the dollar put in when Joe Q Crypto wants to take his dollar back out.
Semantic wank aside; it’s not really up to one poster on HN to dictate what is and is not acceptable within a community.

Satisfying their definition is not an obligation.
I've filed multiple (hardware) patents in previous companies. Which part, exactly, is a scam?

I think the only reasonable criticisms of the patent system is a lack of intelligent lawyers in the areas of discipline that often fail finding similar claims in other filings, and that patents only benefit large companies, not DIY garage makers like the rest of the world thinks.

I also think your shitting on lawyers is typical of people that don't really understand legal frameworks. Would you find it reasonable if I said: "software engineers are such a joke, everything they do is so over complicated just so they can get rich like those SanFran dudebros, and for what, so that I can shit in a smart toilet with a web browser and AI? How stupid." ... Oh, shit. Wait a second... :)
It seems like it should be straightforward to pull out any cell radios, no? I've removed them from cell phones with ease, and I have to think the larger size of a car would lend itself to this being easy.
Such things definitely exist in the form of mutually assured destruction cartels. All the members license all their patents to everyone in the cartel. If anyone (external or not) sues anyone in the pact, it automatically cancels any patent licenses they have from members of the cartel, and the cartel launches a patent enforcement suit using their combined portfolio.

Of course, none of that helps with patent trolls, just like the ability to turn Russia to radioactive glass doesn't defend Washington DC from an independent actor with a suitcase nuke.
It's very relevant to the thread topic. If the goal is to minimize the regressiveness of our tax system, then a land value tax is very hard to beat. The only one better from a wealth redistribution standpoint is maybe a wealth tax, but unlike other forms of wealth you can't exactly move land to an offshore account.
> Similar story from 1955 - Cutter incident

The Cutter incident is a story of bad vaccines. The viruses were supposed to be inactivated. Cutter's were not [1].

That is not what is happening here. Nobody got a bad vaccine. This is the story of an unvaccinated individual being exposed to a weakened poliovirus, administered instead of the inactivated kind because it's sterilizing, and then going home to a community of other unvaccinated people who had no protection against polioviruses of any kind.

Overall the car is amazingly well designed. The tactile experience is there, you can feel your way around everything without moving your eyes from the road/immediate dash area.

Not anymore, unfortunately. In the current gen (2022+) Macan they got rid of the buttons in favor of a glossy touch panel. It looks cleaner, but it won't by the time you get home from the dealership.

I thought Godel's incompleteness theorem makes this true for all systems of proofs beyond a certain complexity. Does it matter whether the type system is Turing-complete or not?

(I don't have a robust understanding of Godel's incompleteness theorem.)

They're glued in the 2013 retina models also (I know -- I've replaced the battery twice). To do it "properly" you pretty much have to take apart the entire thing, remove the logic board, etc., although if you're willing to cut corners you can sneak it out without too much fuss. In theory you can use a light amount of acetone to loosen the glue, but that always made me incredibly nervous so I just prodded it with a plastic spudger until I could get it free.

I would gladly trade a fancy unibody for a battery that's easily replaceable :-/
> The remote part is purely conjecture on part of Google

Accurate conjecture nonetheless. If a 3rd party has dropped a managed policy file onto your install, it's reasonable to assume they can drop an updated one which does all the scary stuff at any time. It's a waste of effort for Chrome to parse the current profile when the mere presence of one can compromise security.

At risk of responding to a troll post, the idea that cloud gaming somehow brings equality to society, is retarded. As is the idea of games needing more powerful GPUs (it's a bug). Ironically, the reason games need more and more powerful GPUs is because greed: they can't support basic stuff like supporting less powerful systems, because the boss doesn't want to.

I love driving manuals, learned on an 5 speed New Beetle and mostly drive a 2012 Mazda 6 now. My partner has a newer automatic Mazda 3 and it just feels wrong to have the car guess what I want lagging behind me rather than me just telling the car directly ahead of when I need it.

The only argument that's swayed me away from being entirely on the side of manual cars is that if I'm out hiking with friends who I've driven to the trail and who can't drive my car and I get hurt in a way that prevents me from driving then we could end up stranded. The next car I buy will likely be electric so it ends up not mattering anyways.

I have a friend I went to rehab with who after numerous relapses post-rehab decided to give "micro dosing" a try. I was and am doing well with regular old AA. At a certain point there was a meeting I didn't want to go alone and I tried to get him to come with me. He wanted to but felt like he'd have to lie about what he's doing or face a barrage of advice and doom and gloom predictions, and he was right. For my part I don't think this is a good long-term solution for as we call them "real alcoholics" but in my experience AA is very combative to this kind of thing, which is unfortunate.
