“Companies have to obey local laws that other people make, and they have to treat their employees good enough that they don't quit.”

This would be true if one person quitting meant anything other than a job opening and search for a fill. Having worked under terrible conditions, I can tell you the person they hire will have no idea why the previous person left. It might not take long for the new person to figure it out. But market realities tend to make it take months to years for that new person to then turn around head to a new position. Meanwhile this is all enough for bad management to claim success.

Companies only obey local laws in so far as the threat of prosecution is real. This threat is undermined way too easily.

The article specifically points out that the study establishes neither a causal direction nor whether or not there is a confounding factor.

The study has a small sample size and is based on self reporting, so by no means definitive, but I see no reason to believe it's junk.

Burning stuff really isn't efficient, even if it's Hydrogen. If you are burning something and thinking about replacing it with Hydrogen to decarbonise, 99 of 100 times you'd be better off electrifying directly.

Even for ships and planes, where the transport part is important electrolysers and fuel cells are the long term answer, not burning hydrogen in turbines. (And incedentally, that why batteries are more important here than this techno-optimist realises and will account for more shipping/flying than you think. That extra efficiency matters and will act to reduce ship size and travel distance, especially combined with autonomous craft).
Imagine you wanted to produce an unbiased encyclopedia. You have to have sources for information which have to come from all major viewpoints, whether you like it or not.

You have to also actively prevent activists whose agenda does not align. The problem with wikipedia is they didn't do that. We have reached a point where wikipedia doesn't accept anything but left-leaning sources. Effectively excluding a significant worldview.

To what end exactly? This doesn't change minds or benefit the activist's agenda at all. It just damages wikipedia's reputation.

There's a painfully simple answer to this. Use evil-mode, and then just make your macro exactly as you would in vim. You can have the best of both worlds and it mystifies me when not everyone does this. (No accounting for taste etc.)

Imagine everyone around you argued about it was better to wear socks or to wear shoes, and you just have to wonder why they don't try doing both at once?

Now I wonder if there are people who use Emacs controls in vim and wear their socks outside their shoes.
> Is it common for children to have imaginary friends in general?

A quick Google seems to suggest it's in the 50-65% range for 7 year olds. The article states that it's less prevalent for autistic children.

Agreed, but it might be harder as they have to write custom tooling to inspect the system.
The title on HN (at the moment anyway) is truncated -- the full title is "Autistic children with imaginary friends have better social skills, just like neurotypical children" which has a bit of a different ring to it.

Not sure if I'm missing something, but the claim seems to be ~ kids that speak (to "imaginary friends") tend to speak more than the ones that don't. This doesn't seem particularly ground-breaking... So what did this research involve? They asked parents of autistic children some questions over the internet.

Finally I just want to mention that the researchers are not necessarily the people drawing conclusions from the research (let alone writing the headlines/articles about it).
I think once they figure out self-driving, car ownership will plummet and most family cars will be replaced with self-driving taxis and shuttles, which will be electric.

Society subsidizes car ownership to an extreme degree, from the environmental impact, parking space to road infrastructure etc.

A lot of people live in cities, and in a lot of cities, there is just not enough space for cars.
That sounds pretty rare. Or maybe they are just the people creating the bullshit for others?

If we call any US election which was unsuccessfully interfered with by a foreign country "hacked", I think every election for the foreseeable future will be "hacked", no?

I feel as if I'm taking crazy pills when I deal with American die-hard Democrats and their insistence to change the definition of words to make their party look better. In Canada when we say a system was hacked we mean someone had unauthorized access to it, not that they hired teenagers to make memes.

Ask HN: Onboarding as a service startup idea? Please help evaluate
Hi folks,

I'm thinking about adding an onboarding as a service product to our offerings. I can see why it's valuable to have great onboarding and how pretty much all SaaS needs it, and many don't build it because it's challenging to make an excellent onboarding flow.

I found many existing solutions, but they are all built as a task list for employees to onboard new customers, not as a self-serve dev tool. The ones that target SaaS and self-serve are terrible. They require much work, installing extensions, and lack A/B testing ability. They all have so many limitations it's incredible I couldn't find a suitable option out there.

Any thoughts on this?

I'm not saying using a botnet is "hard", per se, but the difference in difficulty compared to using a hosting provider is significant. If bot operators are being forced to use botnets, I'd say the solution is working very well.

It comes from the idea that certain products are "locked down" to where you cannot do anything else with it but what the manufacturer provisions. Jailbreaking means you gain complete control over the device, so that you can do anything else you want with it.

I believe the term either originally came from, or was at least popularized by people wanting to escape Apple's "walled garden", which is also viewed by some as a jail.
Lay abstract of the original study:

> Research on neurotypical children with imaginary friends has found that those with imaginary friends have better social skills and are more able to think about how other people’s minds work compared to children without imaginary friends. Research shows that some autistic children also create imaginary friends. This article is the first to look at whether or not autistic children with imaginary friends have stronger social skills and an improved ability to think about others’ minds than those without imaginary friends. We asked parents to report about their children aged 5 to 12. Finding almost half reported their child had an imaginary friend, a much larger number than previous research with younger children. Our findings also suggested that autistic children with imaginary friends were better able to understand others’ minds and had stronger social skills than their peers without imaginary friends. The children’s language ability did not influence this. The findings of this study add to the evidence that with respect to the creation imaginary friends and their potential benefits, the play profiles of autistic children are similar to the general population. It also provides more evidence that the understanding of others’ minds is not all or nothing in autism and gives reason for researchers to investigate whether the causes of these differences are the same or different for autistic children.

I genuinely believe a lot of professors are out of touch, especially around this point:

>Fourth, students seemed reluctant to come to the office seeking help. [...] I suspect there is an increased factor of intimidation associated with being lost in the material and asking a much older male professor for help.

Let's ignore the weird second half assumption about 'older males' for now... Young people do not have a concept of 'come to the office seeking help'. In my years of professional experience I have not once gone to someone's office to seek help. Instead, people email each other, text, chat, video call... help can be synchronous or asynchronous. I wonder how many times a student has taken time out of their day to trek across campus to the professor's office only to find the professor away, or head-down busy grading papers, or just about to leave? Young people can be extremely sensitive to how they impose themselves on other people. Professors need to get with the times and make themselves available through channels that their students are more comfortable with, and I think this should include allowing students to get help with the material anonymously. (I don't intend to direct this at this specific professor, but the bemoaning of students not seeking help I find is often linked to professors thinking it's still 1972)
So I am an immigrant, close to 20 years away from my family, I had a similar interaction with my father who passed away from covid a few years back. He was someone who I spoke with on science and politics daily for at-least an hour and remained sharp as ever till his death.

“Should I come back to spend more time with you and the family ?”
“Why would you ? Live for the future, contribute, do something new, teach some young kids some politics”

I think that do what’s important to you is excellent advice, it’s not remotely the same for everyone’s family though.

I don't know where does one get the idea that imaginary friends or similar (headmasters, etc.) are always in agreement with the one who imagines them.
I don't quite agree with the long term storage point.

You can store hydrogen (or Ammonia) which is good. But that doesn't mean you need to turn it all back into electricity.

Just build extra wind and solar and for 99% of the year use it to make green hydrogen that you use for stuff. That industrial process acts as "storage". On that cold, dark, windless night, first you use hydro and biomass and batteries and imports and demand response and only then, if still you really need to, use hydrogen, but ideally it's just there as a backup and will be used for chemical feedstock to make cheaper materials.

The subtler but more impactful thing is that for the rest of the year you can divert 1% of the energy to the grid via demand response, to integrate more cheap variable renewables.
Most online businesses have multiple ways to track conversions... It will become pretty obvious if Google says you sold 130 widgets but your warehouse guys only delivered 60....

Likewise, lots of businesses have a different landing page for people coming from an ad vs people from organic search and people coming from referral links/shared URL's. The business counts how many people visited each of those.

They'll know if the ad providers stats are lying...
I think it's because webkit is an open source project with known bugs/vulnerabilities. Bugfixes in upstream webkit version may not be included in the console version of webkit yet, so hackers can have easier time testing for potential exploits simply by testing those known bugs.

I don't think that not seeing his parents very often should be universally considered bad.

As an adult, you're making your own decisions and building your own family.

Your spouse might not really like spending that much time with your parents.
And you might not really like her or his parents.

From my experience, staying close to the same people who raised you will keep you in that comfortable but limited childhood state for longer than necessary.

I tried to reply to a comment criticising Covid vaccines for not being 100% effective but by the time I replied the comment was flagged and I couldn't reply.

It's a common misconception so I did want to leave my answer here... The text I was replying to was:
"Vaccines are also supposed to prevent you from getting a disease. What do you call something that does not prevent you from getting a disease. Does not prevent you from spreading it. Does not guarantee you won't die from it. And only lasts about 4 months?"

Have you ever had a flu shot? What about years when the flu shot was a mismatch for the most widely circulating strain of influenza? Scientists need to make predictions on the correct strain and some years they failed in their predictions and the flu shot didn't completely protect against the most common strain. This has been happening for years, before covid.

It's the same with covid vaccines, the current mrna covid vaccines were not an exact match for the most common circulating strain right now (omicron). So, of course, those vaccines will not fully prevent you getting the disease. It will reduce the symptoms, reduce the risk of severe illness (but it's a numbers game, less severe illness cannot mean absolutely no deaths at all) in the same way a flu shot doesn't always completely protect you.
Regarding China, the book "Guns, Germs and Steel" gives the following explanation: due to a lack of major geographic barriers, China became unified under a single rule early, and subsequent irrational decisions by despotic rulers brought stagnation. In contrast, it was impossible to unify Europe by force in pre-industrial age, hence the ongoing competition (and resulting development) between all the states.
Getting a console for playing modern games on is a one time cost of $300 to $500. Such a console will be good for several years to come.

Getting free games per month or even getting access to a back catalogue of games with Game Pass or Playstation Plus is a monthly $9 to $15.

That's less than people pay that smoke.
Der Gigi is very effluent and philosophical Bitcoin proponent, that has written lots of great articles about Bitcoin. I perceive Hacker News to be generally negative towards Bitcoin, and feel that his articles should help bridge a gap between both groups. This article is very good in denoting what I feel is Bitcoin's main value proposition (and as a bonus it references Diablo 2, which is one of my great childhood preoccupations).
>The 11-count indictment names the Russians defendants, alleging they began cyber-attacks in March 2016 on the email accounts of staff for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign.

Did you even read your article? If you're not going to read the things you link "there is no chance of honest debate".

If your definition of 'hacking an election' means 'unsuccessfully infiltrating the email accounts of a low level staffer' then sure, this election, along with every other one in your country's future, will be 'hacked'. This just isn't a normal or colloquial definition, and feels more like D (sorry about the slur, didn't realize it was so offensive!) goalpost shifting than anything. You see this kind of talk on reddit all the time, i.e. "if you use a definition nobody else does, it's clear that I'm right."

I'm not debating that 12 people were charged with hacking email accounts. You may be unaware, but people are charged with that almost every day. It doesn't mean an election was stolen.

I'm debating, as I have been the whole time, whether Russia hacked and influenced the results of the election itself, aka a "cyber 9-11" as Clinton was so happy to call it many times. If you think it did, let's continue, otherwise, I worry it's getting too sensitive and I'm touching the "Democratic" nerve.
My wife, our kids, and I live abroad from our families. Kids and grandparents get to see each other once a year or so.

Yet, we do not plan to move back closer to our families.

The reason is simple: our relation to our parents is fulfilling as it is and our parents educated us in such a way that we build our own family for ourselves, because the one thing that was granted to us (quoting my own parents) was their unconditional support and love.

Distance sure prevents a lot of small yet meaningful interactions and it sometimes hurts, but the support that we received helped us settle where we wanted and become who we wanted, independently from any geographical or otherwise constraints.

We're infinitely grateful to our parents for that.
Horrible bosses cause 'race to the bottom,' study finds
> The metaphysical properties of Bitcoin are independent of the metaphysical nature of numbers. The fact that Bitcoin is “just numbers” is unimportant. What is important is the process that brings about these numbers, which is a process that can’t be faked, cheated, or simulated. We know, without a doubt, that the only way to bring a valid bitcoin block into existence is by expending real energy in the real world.

I'm not a BTC maxi in any sense of that term, but I do agree that the most interesting cryptocurrency (economically-speaking) is, by far, Bitcoin. It emerged purely organically, it enforces scarcity, and it provides no "utility" other than "value." It's not like Ethereum (functioning as a distributed VM: boring, and funded by VCs: double boring) or any other blockchain (which basically is just trying to copy Ethereum).

In other words, I'm not sure if Ethereum will be around 100 years from now, but I'm pretty sure Bitcoin will.

Bitcoin's proof-of-work is a fascinating thought experiment, an interesting proof of concept, and an absolutely terrifying real-world energy sink in a world that's already starved for clean energy and heading for an unavoidable climate meltdown.

We've heard all the whataboutist arguments about Christmas lights and bankers' data centers and whatever. Yes, we should save energy there too! But when there's a novel form of energy waste that's ballooned past a mid-size European country's annual consumption within a decade and provides a service that's largely philosophical ("digital scarcity"), then that seems like something we should address immediately.
