I have just started using an Apple Watch Ultra for running and it does seem more accurate to me. My old Series 6 would underreport distance, e.g. a 5k park run would be measured as 4.9km. I also noticed with the Series 6 that if I did a u-turn that my pace would drop considerably as the watch was presumably missing some of the distance I had travelled whereas the Ultra seems much better in this regard.
I like drinking but most of the time the two day anxiety rebound is not worth it. So I only drink at special events where I know it’ll be worth it
Drinking limits? Never heard of those!
Why haven't I thought of this. I frequently accidentally hit the print shortcut, and the quick open shortcut is ridiculously inconvenient for such a common navigation action.
Interesting, I noticed swelling and pain in my joints during and after consumption of alcohol.

Let us all remember everyone as only their worst things, and learn nothing from their best eh?
Mainframes are supposed to be good at the type of jobs that you can't really do an apples to apples comparison of - they're not supposed to be running linear algebra benchmarks, however equally a lot of quasi-distributed systems (some cloud infra or whatever) performance will completely collapse when you try to scale them beyond little benchmarks.

I've read IBMs docs on their processor architectures, I'm sure they're fast enough but no more than that.

Wouldn't choose one for infrastructure but would love to have a play with a mainframe.
A hefty carbon tax on meat would be a start. If the environmental costs of burning Amazon rainforests for beef production [1] were included in the cost of burgers, there would be a lot more people eating plant-based alternatives.

Agreed, it's got to be the hangovers. Being drunk is fun enough, but not if it means your next 1-2 days is ruined. People were shown another way by the shutdown of bars, combined with the proliferation of cannabis as a (mostly) hangover-free alternative.
This can't be a serious response. If it is, I think there would be more societal good if we put pictures of clogged arteries on restaurant menus from people overeating calories.
Humans are made to worry, it's an evolutionary mechanism. Great to rationalize it but that's not how humans work mostly.
Man with dead dog cannot give $1 to cancer research. Their compassion is blocked by grief.
Sounds to me more like you don't eat and hydrate enough when you drink. If I simply have alcohol for a night and nothing else, of course I'm hungover; but if I stay hydrated and eat AND drink, I can get pretty intoxicated without much ill effect the next day.
A Gregorian calendar year is 365.2425 days, yes. A solar year of one equinox/solstice cycle is currently 365.2422 days.
The author still seems to be on an Apple Watch 4, if I read correctly. So this seems like a case of Apple shipping a bad update to an older device and not caring. Or OP has a bad device.
It is, anyone who needs to clean install isn’t running commands right, or doesn’t fully understand what they are running when they run commands
Agreed. I think the rise in youth using cannabis vape pens is partially filling this void.

> I find bars a bit boring in general these days. No smoking, grumpy security goons everywhere, strict opening hours and drinking limits.

You should come to Berlin :-)
20 years ago, if you were over 40 you may have known someone, or known someone personally but secondhand that died from alcohol related reasons, maybe even more than one, especially considering drunken driving. But you definitely knew multiple people who died from smoking, and you almost certainly witnessed their slow decline through lung cancer, emphysema or other smoking related illnesses. In many cases you knew more people that died from smoking than all other things combined.

Also the benefits of smoking vs alcohol aren't even comparable, alcohol is the foundation of advanced social civilizations. Smoking let's you take short breaks from labor. It's was cigarettes in particular as well as social pipe smoking isn't / wasn't nearly as bad.
This is one of those conspiracies that always seemed probably true, based on my cursory examination of the evidence.

Or the other way, assume a weapons test went horribly wrong; what would the result be?
Ask HN: VPN causes IP geolocation to work backwards?
Has anyone ever heard of this happening? A family member is using Wireguard to VPN to my home server while traveling in the UK, strictly for privacy/security reasons (can only use insecure wifi).

Slowly but surely, Google services have begun to think my very residential (ASN 54329) IP address is in the UK. Youtube ads, then Youtube itself, Google search results, and lately Youtube TV even refuses to work. My roommates claim Netflix has even started showing UK content!

Is this some VPN detection/abuse system gone haywire?

It is quite creepy that Google is obviously pairing precise location data from my family members iPhone to my fairly static IP address. It's also odd that I have other roommates with their own phones (Android, iPhone) presumably also feeding Google precise locations from this IP, but the UK one is overriding it.

It seems like if this was some abuse prevention thing it shouldn't be this easy to fool in reverse.

I mean the "you've had enough, go home" thing :) When I was a student this was only a thing in the most upmarket of bars. These days it's much more common as far as I've seen (mostly to other people, it's never happened to me, only been kicked out due to closing time)
>Alcohol while temporarily lifting it, will cause an even worse depression the next day. At least it does for me, like clockwork.

Not for me. As long as I keep my empirically determined 2 pints of beer limit, I'm at that perfect sweet spot between my anxiety and inhibitions going away, while still staying mentally sharp and avoiding any negative side effects of alcohol. The best code and most successful solutions I ever wrote was when I was a bit drunk.

Remember to drink plenty of water though and have a healthily lifestyle of good diet, sleep and exercise. Also, the quality of the alcohol matter a lot. Cheap and shitty industrial alcohol will f*ck you up and you'll feel like shit the next day but good quality one (Belgian Trappist beer for me) has less side effects and can be more easily tolerated and filtered out by the body.

YMMV and each to his own obviously.
I have indeed never been there... Will have to visit some day, it sounds good! >:) I hear the techno scene there is also amazing.
I was always curious about how so many witnesses saw a streak of light shoot up to the plane which then exploded. I was never convinced by the video the CIA released that explained what those witnesses actually saw was a trail of burning jet fuel going away from the plane.
It would certainly be interesting to see an improved HN front page (assuming people could agree on what counted as improved). But how do you measure views? Your article talks about that and it seems to be part of your algorithm, but we don't publish that data, and in the case of article clicks, we don't even collect it.
This one time I woke up in Belgium without my wallet. The disturbing part though was that I had actually been awake the whole time, but had blacked out completely for 8 hours. The last thing I remember was looking at a line of shots around 9pm. Between 9pm and 5am I have no memory. My body was just doing its own thing. When I "woke up" I was already awake, walking down a dark country road. All my stuff was gone. Had to illegally ride the trains back to my home country. Would not recommend!

> But the general public is the worst boss I have ever had.

General public reflects the existing social order. In a society that chews people raw and spits them out for profit, the general public won't be responsible or caring. They will start caring about the society and related morals and responsibilities as much as the society cares for them.

1M americans died of COVID-19. That's a real threat, too. So the difference with Ebola is not really to do with the "reality" of the threat, but the manner and rapidity of death, along with the fatality rate.

Does anyone still drink sugared sodas when going out? Most people are very conscious of this and only drink zero..

Edit: by Zero I mean coke zero or other 'diet' drinks. I was talking about the sugared versions only that have become really unpopular here in Spain.
Fascinating! I wonder what subcultures of Americans use the word this way.
If the wealthy enclaves of democrats and republicans are both model cities but the poor center cities of both are hellholes it tells you more about money than politics.

But some cities like San Francisco have had both for decades, and should be doing exceptionally well.
The comparison to fascism is not even relevant here. Fascism is a corporate/government collaboration to achieve a specific end. Puritans were not talking about this. They were about self-reflection and self-improvement. The overzealotry of Puritism was based on populist uprisings. The failed collectivist experiments of the 20th century took a far greater toll on humanity than the Puritans ever did. By far.
are daily tiers and dynamic pricing really needed for consumers, shoudn't it even out on the long term? Until recently it worked quite well for a energy supplier to supply me with a fixed rate for a year and still making profit (when I take a look at their yearly earnings report, I think I also subsidized heavy users with my low usage :D). over a year the price should average out quite nicely when I look at the energy mix in germany and the cost. The only "problem" we currently have is the merit order principle and the pegging of the (haywire) gas price to the energy price which makes calculations for suppliers difficult (and the absence of building renewable, and the maintenance and shutoffs of nuclear :D). Aside from that consumption is quite foreseeable and production also, so daily rates should not matter that much? I think paying by the hour/daily makes things just more complicated, I actually don't really want to time my laundry cooking with future prices on an hour/daily base :D
How do Québécois feel about immigration from French speaking parts of the world? Is it preferred?
If you've never been drunk, then I think it's hard for you to have any personal insight into the reasons other people used to get drunk but now choose not to.

I'm not saying you should get that experience. Better for you if you continue your abstinence. But you should probably check your attitude when discussing things you have no experience with.
There's far more to reliability than ECC. What if a processor/CPU goes bad in an x86 server while running? You have to take the server down, replace it, and bring it back up. IBM mainframes allow for processor replacements while it's running. I think it's the same with memory. IIRC, in the mainframe world IBM has processor and RAM packaged together as a 'book' and it may be the book that can be hot swapped. Hopefully someone more knowledgable can clarify.

There are unfortunately few people studying worst case scenarios, but it's not like "science" doesn't consider it possible (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2108146119). This is not likely, but it's hard to quantify how unlikely it is.

Suggesting otherwise is not accurate and downplays the possible tail risks.
> Copying smart people works if you can find them.

Well, works more often than not (I hope your downside risks are low). While understanding what they are doing works almost every time.

Besides, it works more often than not, in a simple setting where there is no antagonistic communicator. In a word with propaganda and politics, it fails almost every time.
Kind of interesting that they mention Toby Ord in the article and not his (similar) book, _The Precipice._ William's book _What We Owe the Future_ sounds similar, but rather than research on avoiding disaster as a species, it seems _What We Owe the Future_ will spend more time convincing people that the long-term matters. Please let me know if someone has read both (already) and can compare and contrast the two.

ETA: I see a link to the 80,000 hours podcast mentioning Ord's book as well: https://80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/toby-ord-the-precipi...
The vaccine doesn't stop transmission but it does reduce risk of passing the virus along by about 20%. Similarly, it does reduce the chance of getting infected by about 20%. This is for Omicron transmission in closely packed prisons - a reasonable "worst case context" that would maximize interaction and transmission. It was also looking at vaccine formulations before the latest booster, so in a free person's normal life the protective effect is higher.

Further complicating things, the more vaccines and boosters you get, the more protection. But that protection wanes pretty quickly over time. You also appear to have more protection if you have been vaccinated and recently infected, although as the article states, this is not without risk itself of long term problems.

The tldr is you don't want to get covid, vaccines help that, boosters help that. Previous infections help. But they all wane pretty quickly over time, so if we don't want to get twice yearly boosters until eternity, we'd better increase our efforts to beat this thing - using vaccines is one important tool, even if they aren't perfect.

AIUI, the consensus thinking seems to be that even if Russia decides to employ nukes in Ukraine, they're not necessarily the "trigger mass retaliation and cause a nuclear winter" type. Apparently they have "tactical nukes" that are much (much) less powerful (in terms of yield) than the ones tipping the ICBM's and that figured in "War Games" etc.

Now, would even using something like that trigger a response from other nations, and could it still escalate to "Global Thermonuclear War"? Probably. But at least in the short-term it doesn't appear to be the case that as soon as Putin "pushes the button" it's automatically game over for everybody.

Also, supposedly three people are required to use even those nukes, with Putin being one of the three. There seems to be some thought that the other two might refuse to allow their use. How Putin would respond to something like that is an interesting question. Given the unrest over the Russian draft, I can't help but wonder if all of this is leading to a possible regime change in Russia.
Why is it legacy though? Shouldn't browsers be free to change it?
Yeah for me that doesn't work because if I stop drinking I get a splitting headache and that instantly ruins my social skills. Even when hydrating with other stuff, strange enough. With very moderate drinking I can hold it off for a while but it will still come. I also get this restless/irritable mood when I stop drinking which is also a moodkiller. Once I start I'm committed till the end :) At the bar I just used to stop a while once I started dropping things and that was ok.

I used to say: "I'm intolerant to small amounts of beer" :)

Of course after drinking a lot I get it too but by that time I tend to be asleep and don't really notice if I can sleep in the next morning.
There is a huge amount of research devoted to this. Of course personal preferences exist, but there are physical constraints like the degree to which your eyes can move without turning your neck and other things. It’s somewhere between 60-120 I think, with 80 right in the sweet spot.
> I do not believe the religious are in some way actually oppressed

Aren't they? Sure, western religious oppression is not violent and nothing compared to what happens in say Iran. But there are many circles where coming out as religious is a terrible idea and religious people feel it and end up self-suppressing and hiding their identity. Who wants to be known as the Christian when the world has decided they are idiots at best or villains at worst? You never quite know when it's safe to open up and when you could face sudden social exclusion, bullying, internet mobs, career impacts, etc.

If this comment were under my real name I'm not sure I'd have dared type it with the way the winds are blowing. Even with anonymity, it's giving me pause whether it's really a good idea.

It's actually smaller than 80 characters.

There has been over a century of research into this. It's why newspapers print their stories in columns, instead of across the entire page, which would be easier.

I've got a screen that is much wider than it is tall, this throws away so much of it. It's as bad as Facebook, where the stuff you want to see is a band about 1/4 the area of the screen.
No disagreements there: I was just lamenting the short term negative impacts it will have.

Further concentration of capital’s power in the tech space is a significant issue, IMO, and painful in its own right to back out of. It will be interesting to see how we deal with this problem in the future… if we address it at all.

The theory isn't just "it's burning jet fuel", though; it's that the plane broke apart, and that the now tail-heavy back section with the wings flew upwards as the nose fell to the water. It's not an insane idea, and is at least partially backed by radar data.
I don't think they had a concept of collective salvation. They were very clear that salvation was individual, and that even people who thought they were saved, and who everyone around them thought was saved, might not be. I think you're right that they were strict about imposing their beliefs, at least in C17 New England, but I am not sure that relates much to their foreign policy wrt the Indian tribes. But I will defer to someone who knows more.
Immigration cannot be a permanent solution, because eventually everyone will have immigrated.

Immigration is basically arbitrage on living conditions, the US could directly institute “compassionate slavery” and many very poor countries would gladly sell themselves and their children into it.

In fact, there are likely people who would rather live in US prisons than in the country they’re currently in.

Thank you for the additional details, and that helps my understanding. That the key quantity to keep constant is the total demand, not merely the total distribution. Therefore, when working to reduce wealth disparities, an increase in the minimum wage must be coupled with a greater-than-proportional decrease in the maximum wage in order to avoid negative side effects.
