Are you sure these are natural? In their FAQ, they say:

> Is My Buffalo Vegan Friendly?

> "Yes - The shell lining we use is 100% Polyamide and our internal lining is synthetic - 100% Polyester. No animal products were used in the production of your Buffalo Systems garment.

I think that means it is synthetic, not natural. It may be possible to make fiber pile from natural fibers, but I think this company is using plastic.

Yes, next time I get annoyed at someone on HN I plan to return to this thread and remind myself that I'm in the elite 1% of commenters who actually read the article and the other comments before I write something.
The main problem with Backstage (BS) is that while it does provide some canned functionality, any extension of that functionality requires the utilization of their plugins system and wholesale buy-in to their ecosystem. Welcome to Wordpress for enterprise developers folks!

The plugin system isn't bad - but its a false narrative to believe you plunk this down and get some sort of valuable developer portal at an enterprise level (small biz sure - fortune 500...yeah no).

Spotify does open-source a number of their plugins, but after having looked extensively at which ones they make available and which ones we would have to write (and deal with their plugin system for) we opted out. The cost/benefit ratio is definitely there for a technical writer, but IMO its not there for serious development. (Pls - Anyone who disagrees with that - begin by telling me why you don't use Joomla as a base for all your custom applications )

Team integration at a company level is another challenge with Backstage. GitHub (the basis and sort of harvested DB for BS) is largely disconnected from company structures and AD and all the things for most companies. Yes GitHub enterprise is a thing... no in general its still not connected to company structures. There are teams in Backstage, but they are generally managed in isolation from the rest of the company which presents its own challenges and integration problems with other systems. Don't even get me started on the fact that asking everyone to put their service defintions in specific files in specific places in GitHub is no better/worse than making them enter it into a ui or spreadsheet or confluence article or anything except now its scattered in 10,000 repos - good luck getting everyone to change that.

Ultimately this isn't software that you simply install and use. Its a base that will likely require extension, and doing so means going down a one way path of adoption. Nothing it does is compatible with anything else. Is that good for Spotify - sure. Lots of folks helping build software they want to use is great. Is it good for the community? I'm not so sure. This article felt like a paid add (not suggesting it was - just saying it read like one) more than an honest plus/minus of the software and is anyone really surprised a technical writer couldn't build a proper enterprise developer portal by themselves? In other news - water is wet, the sky is blue and my kid wants to watch youtube.
Since the Timescale License is not an open source license, it is a closed source license. You are right, it is source available, but source available is also closed source. It is closed because it is not open. And it might be free as in beer, but it is not free as in freedom.
I'm inclined to agree with the parent comment on this, maybe argue they're being conservative. I'd say closer to 99.999% of people would struggle with this weight-loss plan, and hurling chunks of matter from your backyard to out of earth's orbit doesn't sound simple to me. But I'm not gonna knock an idea before I've tried it.
Perhaps formulate a point instead of pretending to be incredulous.
> Frankly, real time chat is a big way to get to know people. It’s basically conversation. Meanwhile 10 years on HN and I don’t know a single person.

How many chat channels/DM/etc do you still message with 10 years later?

I’d guess very few if any.

If that’s the case, what problem is the company trying to solve with a community section? Do they want long term engagement by its users (like you on HN for 10 years) or do they just want tourists stopping by for the short “chat”?
Then correctly price in those fairly insignificant externalities. Don't try to force everyone into poverty.

It could be argued that this is the case of every scientific tool ever used.
This is changing with the healthcare marketplace. However, YMMV depending on which state you live in.
Dolby Vision is a format of that metadata - it's hiding either at the beginning or as part of a frames in proprietary metadata extensions. When the video is being played, this metadata is extracted by video decoder (or demuxer) and then sent together with video frames to the display where the display then applies the
(color, etc.) metadata to correctly show the frames based on its capabilities.

Since the format of this metadata is proprietary, the demuxers, decoders and displays need to understand it and properly apply it when rendering. That's the part that needs to be implemented and paid for.

But that's really not all of the technology - Dolby Vision isn't just the metadata format, it's also definition of how the videos are mastered and under which limitations (e.g. DV allows video to be stored in 12-bit per pixel format, allows mastering with up to 10.000 nits of brightness for white pixels and defines wider color range so better, brighter colors can be displayed by a panel capable of doing that).

https://www.elecard.com/page/article_hdr is actually a pretty good article that overviews this topic (although you do need a basic understading how digital video encoding works).
If my company instituted a 4 day work week I would leave immediately.

I like my work, and I am happy to do more of it. Not less.

I have enough time in the week to get everything done. Especially with working from home. How some people can work from home and still claim to not have enough time “for family and personal errands” is beyond me.
I like this. This is competition. Apple is drawing Facebook out. I like both companies but the incentives of any trillion-dollar company are very fucked and it helps Facebook internally when they get sued for breaking the rules. Let he without sin cast the first stone, everybody breaks some rule at some point, it's original sin and inescapable. Even saints sin, they just also atone. This helps Facebook's angels on its shoulder speak up with bigger numbers--which is the name of the game--and drown out the devil on the left. Like wouldn't it be good for--extreme example--Judas if he put a price of thirty pieces of silver against betraying Jesus? That mitigates temptation.

Slaps on the wrist are harmful especially for those receiving slaps on the wrist. No moral development.

How does this apply to a FAANG company? Nobody knows--better than another FAANG company. Yes they know each other yes they hire each other's employees yes cross-polination yes yes yes--but they also compete. And when they hold back on competition, they at least do the public the favor of doing so at a very high cost--like Apple taking $20,000,000,000 from Google in exchange for not entering the search engine market. So there the higher the price extolled, the better for the public. The higher the price, the harder for Google to pay it to avoid competition, and the more likely it will not be paid which leads to competition.

In practice every FAANG company competes against all the others on everything. This is a success! Google can't beat Apple on smartphones, and Apple can't beat Google on search (even if they wanted to), so both companies have money, so they duke it out in every battleground beyond their moat. If they don't have a moat, however, they go to shit and can't carry out that competition in every other field.
Hey everyone! My good friend & colleague Shu just pushed a PR that should mitigate this: https://github.com/steven-tey/dub/pull/13

Most muscles can use a variety of energy sources. Cells have had to deal with famine and seasons since long before humans, and so needed ways to use whatever energy is available. Sugar is by far the easiest to use for energy, but fats are used as well.
Current methods are not 100% accurate either. No study is 100%.

Honestly the only field that has a P value that comes close to 100% is physics. Even medicine which is far more rigorous than most fields fails quite often in phase 3 trials after having vetted it in phase 2.

Is that a typo or are you a very lucky individual?
As in taking my 10k and buying the bond in my name and returning my money at maturity? If it's legal, this is exactly the business brokers are already in. Presumably it's illegal (there are lots of restrictions on I Bond purchases) or it's not worth their time since rarely is there retail interest in these bonds.
The claim's not that a few over-broad statements were made with colloquial application of absolutes during conversations or interviews, which they definitely were, but that this was the official line and that claiming you could contract the virus was suppressed—yet every time I see examples provided, the exaggerated statements are accompanied shortly before or after by prepared, official communication that in fact the vaccines are extremely effective at preventing severe disease and hospitalization, but not perfectly so, and that infection is still possible. If the original claim were true, those statements should either have been different, or should have been censored.

So sure, it'd be nice if politicians were more precise when answering questions (though it's not gonna happen, for one thing because people don't talk like that) but that's not what I've seen claimed in these cases—it's that these few over-broad statements were the official line, and that dissent from it was smacked down. This runs contrary both to my recollection of events, and to evidence I've seen the few times I've seen the topic come up on here, including this link.
Yeah, nobody wants to have to constantly worry about compliance with 50+ different required standards which may or may not conflict with one another. Having one clear standard for services to follow is absolutely preferred so long as it actually does the job of protecting people's data privacy.
Why we are huge fans of Materialize(d) views
I did. It gets into all this stuff about "density" and "distance from the center of the Earth." I just feel like that is missing the point. As I said, weight loss is simple CICO, Calories In, Crust of the earth Out. You don't need to think about it any more than that, no matter what "scientific publications" like XKCD tell you.

Personally, I drink these 100 cal nutrition drinks for breakfast, or have a banana, and a sparkling water.

I've settled on

- Very lightweight breakfast (~100 cal)

- Light lunch (~700 cal)

- Heavy dinner (~1400 cal)

- Hard liquor only (tall single vodka/soda is my goto)

You'll notice that's over 2000~ a day. I also walk a lot, use an exercise bike instead of the couch when watching TV, and bicycle everywhere I can. On lazy days, I adjust downwards.

One thing I've done that's helped a lot is eating a low carb diet - I did keto, found it was incredible effective in losing weight, but kinda brutal. Instead, a low carb (non-ketosis) diet allows for some carbs but significantly reduces "empty calories".
The Nobel Prize does not only award scientists for enabling high impact discoveries, but occasionally to people who make a major discovery that has no immediate impact. There is literature dribbling out from folks using AlphaFold models, but that's not what they would be awarding here. This was a long-standing problem that was convincingly solved.
Oh joy, I started watching the Mahabharata series you recommended.

Already I love the music, sitar and singing; how the title is in Sanskrit, English, and Arabic scripts; and how it starts with Time itself telling the story.

In another comment you mentioned Hiraṇyagarbha, or Brahmanda. What a beautiful concept that is. I've heard about the Cosmic Egg in other cultures, particularly in the Greek Orphic tradition.

What started my journey of curiosity about Greek and Indian cultural exchange, is that I grew up in Japan (it's literally my motherland) - and in Japanese temples, at the entrance are commonly seen two lions (stone statues) guarding the sacred space. I read that this symbolism came from ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Persia, via India to China and reached Japan.

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E7%8B%9B%E7%8A%AC

The lions are named "A" and "Un", corresponding to Aum, अहूँ.

By the way, would you mind if I wrote you an email? I'm enjoying our conversation, and have some philosophical questions. I didn't want to post my address here, to connect this account with my real-life identity, so I won't ask for yours - but maybe there's a temporary way to exchange info and get in touch, or a private way to give you my email (or vice versa)?

One thing I was curious to ask, about your thoughts on the differences and similarities between Hinduism and Buddhism. I imagine that's a big topic, haha.
He just needs to learn the Soleus Pushup.
No doubt they do think hard about how their product will be used and ensure that the customer is as happy as possible. Money is on the line. It is production of the product that produces undesirable externalities.

Frankly, how does anyone continue to work in any job? They all bring undesirable externalities of some sort. As a farmer, I'm one of the most evil people on the planet, or so they say, due to the externalities created by agriculture. Working for Facebook would be a huge moral improvement. But, what are you going to do?
They're saying it's difficult to explain how to isolate the muscle. For example, two simple ways to lift only your heel from a sitting position are:

1. Push down with the ball if you foot

2. Lift up with your hip/quad

They look the same, but are completely different. Do either of them activate the Soleus? Do neither of them?
In this hypothetical Android apps are far less relevant with that ecosystem only being present on Google phones.

I wonder without AOSP or some other major FOSS mobile operating system to shake things up, if smartphones would be more like the PDA industry in the 1990s, with proprietary OS's from OEMs competing with each other. Maybe Palm sticks around and webOS gets a long lease on life. Maybe Samsung, Intel, the Linux Foundation, and co. try to get mass adoption of Tizen, with hilarious results. Though perhaps if Nokia sticks around, MeeGo as based on the Harmattan design in the N9 gets wider use, delaying the need for a successor like Tizen. In any case, with only Apple and Microsoft as their mobile competitors and without Android devices cutting at their margins, BlackBerry still has a fighting chance.
Fortunately, MPEG got lobotomized by ISO a few years back[0]. So there's room for a new standards org (e.g. AOM) to overtake them. In fact, Apple joined AOM recently, so presumably they will be providing their own expertise to that organization too.

Stolen is a vague word. If there's evidence she believes there was sufficient fraud to have changed the result, I would be interested. If she was referring to the stolen Podesta emails and Comey's statement right before the election, then those things happened. You may think those things didn't matter, but it's no surprise she does. And then there's the whole storming the capital thing she didn't do.
This is very enlightening, thanks. I can definitely see how there would be good use cases there.

Well, it is basically there in hot loops. Not necessarily with idiomatic Java, you do have to use primitives but it is absolutely achievable.

Also, what do you lack with regards to networking?
If I remember correctly, broadcasting is on non-Dolby standards as well. UK uses HLG right?
>And everyone's body reacts differently, so there's no one solution.

Absolutely disagree. F = G(m1)(m2)/(r^2). It's that simple, it's physics. Reduce m1 and your F goes down, same for everybody on the planet.
They'll just make it so complicated where you have to use an embed from Google or something to implement it properly, similar to CCPA.

In the end Google ends up in a script on the page somehow in the name of privacy.
> But why does it have to be fiction .. ?

My immediate thought was: would it even work to publish a non fiction book anonymously?

> There's a big difference between being anonymous and being a social media influencer.

Agree. My reasoning was: even without any digital social media, charisma (and other factors such as having connections or previous success) is probably a trait that positively influences an author's success. If you want "pure quality of the oevre itself" to speak for itself, then shouldn't it have been published anonymously?
“ Railroad knew crossing was dangerous and failed to fix it, Missouri farmer says. … Another local farmer, Daryl Jacobs, who has lived in the area his whole life, called the crossing “very dangerous.”
“It needs arms on it or signals,” Jacobs, 62, said. “It’s so dang steep. I heard that truck just stalled out today going up it. That’s what I heard.
“And this dang brush along these railroad tracks all needs to be cleared back.”
…

Nearly half of public train crossings in Missouri are not equipped with active warning devices such as bells, flashing lights and gates, according to a MoDOT report.
“Only the crossings with extreme amounts of train and vehicle traffic or other sight distance problems will receive lights/gates because the need is great,” the agency wrote on its website.
MoDOT did not provide comment after being contacted by The Star.
Spencer said the rise from where the road is flat to the top of the tracks is about 9 feet.
“Our concern was that the approach on it is very, very steep,” he said.

“You can’t see over it. We have to cross over it with farm equipment, loaded grain trucks. We have no choice but to cross that track. It’s very treacherous.”
He estimates trains come through at up to 90 miles per hour. There are no signals. No cross arms to stop motorists. They want the grade to the top of the track lessened.
“There’s no way you can pull up there and stop and go on.”
The video Spencer posted earlier this month shows a train “only moving at approximately 45-50 but some come through at anywhere from 70-90 mph,” he wrote.
“If you cross here with a vehicle, stop, approach very slowly, then look both ways.”

“Around 85 trains go through there every day.” (Note: assuming a 16-hour working day, that’s around 1 train ever 12 minutes!)

His wife Sheryl commented soon after he posted the video.
“They are waiting till someone gets hit,” she wrote.”

https://www.kansascity.com/news/state/missouri/article262950...

Meanwhile, the railroad, which killed 3 people through negligence and is now suing the victims, is also suing to try pin the blame on the truck driver (whom the train killed) for getting himself hit, despite the RR’s years of refusing to fix the many deadly safety issues at the brush-overrun, 9-foot-elevated crossing.

“ The civil petition comes nearly three months after BNSF Railway opened another civil case, filed jointly with Amtrak in federal court, in which the company blames Billy Barton II, a truck driver for M.S. Contracting, for causing the crash.”
If we aren't counting the cost of time, then money is free too.

“The soleus pushup looks simple from the outside, but sometimes what we see with our naked eye isn't the whole story. It’s a very specific movement that right now requires wearable technology and experience to optimize the health benefits”

WASM sandboxing requires an MMU. It achieves its performance by trapping OOB reads via page faults.
Reddit previously accepted accounts with no email address. IMO this is similar to Twitter 'not requiring' a phone number but immediately flagging your account upon creation until you provide one. Now there's something to tie your would-be anonymous internet identity to your meatspace identity in the event of a data leak.

On Reddit this is especially dangerous as there's no real account-nuke option. Deleting an account doesn't touch the replies it posted & actually removes the only method of modifying them.
Or something unrelated. The "infrastructure" bill got renamed to "inflation-reduction" bill despite its contents not changing much. If the pandemic were still a massive concern, I'll bet it'd be called the "covid19 relief" bill... oh right, there was one of those, and it included foreign military aid.
The predictions made by AlphaFold are now indistinguishable from experimental data collection error so folks aren't super concerned.
