> the logical result is to IGNORE the emotional/irrational part of people when we deal about science/technology. As simple as that.

I don't read it quite this like. “science” concepts still have emotional impacts on people, especially when many things outside "hard" science get framed as science — think about all the management advice that gets passed around as objective fact (that also changes every few years, oops!).

it's not arguing about the truth of how many electrons are in a carbon atom, it's your boss arguing that they have a "scientifically proven" management philosophy that is objective. would you believe someone if they said that? even if they showed you a study?
I set aside any/all gripes about canon before I started, knowing what I was getting into, and what got me was the poor quality of costume design/production, and the absolute garbage CGI that looks like videogame cutscenes.
To be maybe controversial...

I'm still thinking about it, but I do wonder if diverse casting works in European fantasy stories. The problem I have is that it generally pulls me out of the experience/ makes it less immersive. I welcome diverse castings in modern shows (though we don't need every show to follow a template 'diverse' casting).
A common counter argument is, well you can suspend your disbelief and imagine a dragon, so why is a diverse community in a small village not ok? It just feels less immersive. Yes, I can go along with it - but I'm not sure it works. It feels like the modern world superimposed in a fantasy setting. I'd prefer to be sent to an alien world.

It is problematic, as years of discrimination in the real world for women/ethnic minorities were wrong and we should encourage equality in the corporate world. However the entertainment industry I wonder should in some ways be exempt. Maybe. One area where there isnt a discussion on 'diversity' is music and also novels. This is because there are tons of tons of novels and music bands to listen to. No one cares if a particular band is 'diverse'.
So I wonder if the only solution out of all of this, is to have more shows - yes, make diverse inclusive European fantasy shows, but also make traditional european fantasy shows too etc. What I think will happen is that in such a scenario most European fantasy fans will choose traditional like shows. Because the story is more immersive and you are brought more into this old world. Maybe. Like I say, I'm still undecided. For modern/futuristic films I find diverse castings just as immersive.

Because the card services are in the business of selling their service to merchants in exchange for a fee, and they have competition in that space. Merchants will (in theory) refuse to work with - or pay as much to - a card service which does insufficient work to prevent fraud.
This used to be the expectation around computer literacy. People would write their own software tailored for their own needs. Now we have appliances that do only what the platform gatekeepers allow them to do.
From the title, I thought it was a reference to the book Lying for Money by Dan Davis. Anyways, the book is an brilliant exploration of this premise and also makes the case for why trust is necessary.
The guy is an academic scientist (well, psychologist) and has written a successful book on bias and fraud in science. He isn't just some random guy at the bar.
First part is:

"There’s someone in Bangladesh who would almost surely be a better economics professor than I am and is now behind a water buffalo,"

Poverty and under-develppment are not a result of the market economy. In fact the market economy has been key in fighting poverty and under-development since the industrial revolution.
I thought the article was going to go in another equally compelling direction. If there is no fraud, measures to prevent it become lax because they are unnecessary costs. With no measures in place, fraud comes back because there is no cost to the fraudster.
Pulumi has way better UX than CDK. I evaluated both recently and CDK felt super janky.
I see what you mean. It's definitely true that the ideal solution would be to introduce this at the contract stage.

The difficulty of doing that is in a sense what prompted me to respond earlier. For most workers in industries where it is physically possible, it is very difficult to negotiate 80% employment or time flexibility or working from home. Even some skilled workers on HN seem to have trouble with it as they testify to in this very thread, and anglophone coders are the cream of the crop when it comes to negotiating power, so we can only imagine what it's like elsewhere.

The typical modern worker (with some exceptions) has to essentially request the privilege of trading the majority of their useful lifespan towards increasing the wealth of another person or face the prospect of the complete dissolution of their life. By contrast, most employers (though of course not all) who face mouse-jiggling type problems merely have to contend with the loss of some self-actualization and additional wealth as the worse case scenario.

If Oliver Twist sneaks in an extra bite of bread from the coal mill's supply during a 12 hour workday, he is being deceptive to his employer when fulfilling a contract willingly entered into. Of course, comparing an office worker to a Victorian child laborer is ridiculous on the face of it, but only in a quantitative sense. In a qualitative sense, the power balance and the context of the deception means that we can't consider it in a vacuum or in comparison to an ideal world. In other words, if the environment were civil, the worker would be easily able to enter into the mutually beneficial contracts you alluded to, and the need for mouse jiggling would disappear on its own except for all but the most boundary-pushing workers.

In Victorian times, the social norms justified child labor and asked workers to be thankful for their lot. Today, the conditions of workers has improved tremendously, but the norms are still designed (or rather, naturally emerged) towards extracting additional value in favor of the employer. The last 50 years have seen the bulk of productivity gains given to the owners rather than the workers, and wage theft is a huge concern all over the OECD. Hence the OP's Ask HN thread and the feeling of social dissonance regarding the work week.
Did you find that that helped you focus despite anxiety? Annoyingly, I've only been able to get my hands on the most common one, Adderall, which turns me into a bouncy boy flying off the walls for some reason. It sadly seemed to trigger my anxiety too. Child comment mentions trying some others, which I might do.

Is Canada included?
But no?

I mean, does it have value for society that scientists recovered old administrative documents about the French revolution? Not really.

But as a society, we can now decide to continue to be wrong about most beliefs we held about that time period or to correct those beliefs. Did those researcher knew what they would find? Yes, probably. Were those finding aligned to their political views? Probably yes, i doubt there is a lot of Furetien left, and they probably wouldn't have searched those documents. (i wanted to use the verb seek and not search, but couldn't remember if it was irregular)

Does it really have value for people? Not really. I will now get internet points everytime someone talk about the French terror for the foreseeable future. That's it.

But maybe, if our civilization last long enough, our history myths will match our real history and everyone will be less wrong.

And that's the best science can do.
Not sure about that. IMDb has always (and still does) make their movie database available via a dump. But there are pretty severe restrictions on how you can use that data. Basically personal use only.

I've been downloading those dumps for years. Long before Amazon bought them. And their usage policy has always been incredibly restrictive.

Now maybe if Amazon dodn't buy them IMDb would be more willing to sell that data somehow. But, they have always been very very stingy with it. So it's not just Amazon coming in and locking things down.

(Shortly after Amazon bought IMDb, they retired their old whacky dump format and converted to CSV instead. Of which I am thankful.)
> They will afford heating, only they will heat just the room they need at the temperature they need rather than heating to comfort

How do you know this? Did you do the math? And you know it's not just heating, right, it's electricity too. They'll eat only raw food to not waste energy on ovens and cooktops?

Big companies are effectively 'apocalypse prepping' right now.
This isn't your usual lone weirdo apocalypse prepper. These are mega corporations with the best advice possible. They are quickly enacting every method of frugality and internal rationing possible, far beyond what you'd expect from the current situation today.

They know more than us. It's probably wise to follow their lead.

this may have been true at some point in the past, but it certainly isn't now. most of the engineers I work with have degrees from schools I had never heard of before meeting them. my team just hired a new grad that didn't even have any internships in school. it's not hard to get an interview at FAANGs these days. the difficult (or "luck-required") part is actually giving good solutions to four out of five algo problems, each in 45 minutes.

> About four years ago a friend of mine, who specializes in personal brand consultation, suggested whatever my hourly was that I double it. I didn't believe her. I doubled it and landed the first proposal.

Doubling your rate is really only an option when you’re already charging too little or if you’re dealing with clients who have no idea what market rate actually is.

I encourage everyone to explore incrementally higher rates until they are losing deals over pricing. That’s the only way to really know the ceiling.

The other important thing to keep in mind is that higher rates bring higher expectations. I’ve had contractors who charges in the $100/hr range and delivered okay-but-not-great work with mediocre communication. We kept them on because they could deliver eventually and we felt like we got what we paid for. If they doubled their rates to $200 the first thing I’d do is wind down the contract and switch to any number of more diligent and qualified contractors I know who charge in that range.

As soon as you violate the client’s sense of “you get what you pay for”, the relationship is in trouble. If someone doubles their rates, they need to be prepared to deliver work and communication deserving of that rate. There are a number of contractors in my area who have reputations of charging expensive rates but delivering budget quality work. They’re mostly limited to new clients at smaller companies who don’t have enough of a network to check their reputation.

However, if you can increase rates and deliver quality work that matches the price, you could work yourself into a premium market segment. And that’s a good place to be!
> I don't know that I agree with the ethical conclusion that the optimal amount of fraud is therefore non-zero. The leap from "anti-fraud efforts are expensive" to these sentences in the final paragraph was not, in my opinion, convincingly made here

It’s like saying that the optimal dirtiness after cleaning your house is non-zero (greater than zero) because cleaning it perfectly takes much more effort than it is worth!

That’s not counter-intuitive at all. It’s just an obvious fact stated in a silly way (for clicks or whatever else).
It has fuck all to do with "wokeness", and a lot more to do with current production values just not resonating.

Most media today looks the same, over-reliant on digital postprod and fuck all practical effects.

I believe there are fewer and fewer "American Dream" jobs, to where you can start from nothing and emerge financially independent with a decent retirement (e.g. doctors, lawyers, programming).

Convicts really only have a few realistic options

1. Programming
2. Starting their own business
1) agreed.

2) agreed.

3) I never did that. I’m fully aware of the issues software developers face on a daily basis. I am one. Same as almost everyone here. Agile and DevOps (capital A, capital D, capital O) are corrupted buzzwords used to saddle engineering teams with snake oil salesmen and deeply suspect printable credentials.

But by all means you keep on throwing around baseless aspersions about who has the right or wrong kind of experience if they say something you don’t like.

No, it is NOT normal if you truly mean you remember nothing from your studies. I really hope that is not the case and that you have only forgotten the intricate details (which is fine). The absolute fundamentals (some of which are listed below) should never be forgotten.

2) OS responsibilities - Resource management(everything), Kernel vs App, Process vs. Thread, System Calls, Timers/Interrupts/Device Drivers.

I agree.

Then there is also this: Classical psychedelics are profoundly immunomodulating. All serotonin receptor 5-HT2A activators (agonists) reduce systemic inflammation. Generally in very beneficial ways.

Systemic inflammation and depression are intimately related.

(Of course, care should be taken not to suppress inflammation when it is needed. People probably ought not to take psychedelics when fighting off an infection.)

> There’s been black people in Italy for pretty much all it’s history. You may want to also read a few history books. (Black moors, Alessandro de' Medici, etc )

I've always hated this disingenuous line of arguing. Yes, technically there were some black people in Italy, but these types of arguments always frame it in such a way that it seems like it was a common thing to witness for the average citizen. The large, large majority of Italians (we're talking in the past obviously) have never seen anything other than other Italians, and those few foreign black people were very much a rarity.

Hell, go to places like Serbia today as a black man and you'll be gawked at like you're an alien, even in the capital Belgrade, yet alone in the smaller cities. Or do the flipside, go to a remote part of a country like Indonesia as a white man, like a random village in Papua or even a city like Jogja (and it's not exactly a small or unpopular city either), and you'll similarly be gawked at.

I'm a Serb (so corpse-white when I don't tan) but lived in Indonesia my whole life, I can't tell you the number of times I've been in situations where people have looked at me in fascination because of my white skin, even in places where tourists are common. If you go to Borobudur as a white person, you're going to be asked to have your picture taken by a dozen curious Indonesians who have never in their lives seen a white person in real life, and this is a massively popular tourist spot in a pretty massive city with plenty of foreigners coming and going.

So sure, there were some black people in Italy, but let's not pretend like that was anywhere near the norm or something you could expect to see every day in 1700s Italy as an average Italian.

Public health people were very clear that outside protest marches are OK if they're about BLM but utterly reprehensible and banned if they were protests against lockdowns or other public health initiatives.

Clearly, such people aren't scientists and never were. What was more interesting/depressing was the total lack of outrage coming from academia. Ritchie observes that biologists in particular seem to have serious problems with communist ideology to the extent that they advertise it on Twitter, and in the UK (where he's from) somehow the official SAGE advisory group ended up with someone on it who is a literal member of the Communist Party of Great Britain! We can infer that academia was silent about this massive perversion of science because they agree with it or at least don't disagree enough to speak out, meaning that public health research in general is nonsensical.
I've never seen someone even mention the word normalization when working with databases, but the knowledge is useful to intuitively design more sensible tables. Perhaps many people don't realize they are doing it?
> Could a random village have a black resident, maybe a sailor or member of a trade expedition that happened to settle there? Absolutely.

No, because they would have died from the novel diseases the village would have had. There's a reason why when Europeans went anywhere they died by the boat load and pretty much everyone they brought back to Europe also died.

It's always fun to remember that Pocahontas died in England after being there less than a year.
This is an intriguing idea, possibly much more convenient and ergonomic for productivity than a fully fledged VR headset.

But the fact that these are 1080p internal displays suggests it's a "fixed" 1080p screen that moves with your head, not a "virtual" screen that appears to stay in place as you move your head.

Does anyone here have any experience with how usable that is? When I start up my Oculus Quest 2 and it has the fixed startup screen logo before it switches to head-tracking mode, it's rather disorienting, since visual cues are totally mismatched with my sense of balance.

I'm not sure whether I could get used to a big screen "tethered" to my head angle like that, or if you get used to it?

Also I wonder about the brightness here -- the Quest 2 isn't very bright at all, but it's OK since virtually all surrounding light is blocked out and my eyes adjust. Whereas this device is basically large sunglasses that lets in tons of surrounding light -- does the screen brightness compete?

Well, in Tolkien's case it was meant to be proto European mythology. It would also look out of place to place a lot of European or Asian characters in a proto African mythology story. I don't think it's racist to have a story set in a place where peoples of a particular race are all that habitate there.

The modern world is just that, modern. A medieval fantasy world has to play by those rules, in its own sort of ways. They're still walking and riding on horses, and magic is exceedingly rare in Tolkien's world. People don't just travel about.
