The vibe I get off of Aubrey de Grey is not here’s a man who wants to live forever, so much as here’s a man afraid of dying. And these days he’s starting to look like an origin story for a lich. He’s 5% ghoul and climbing. He needs Buddhism, not anti cancer drugs.

Once in a great while I see a movie character who wants to see how the story ends. Most of the rest and most of the real humans want to cheat death, which is a very different sentiment.
Don’t worry about it unless you are joining one of the hundreds of hyped AI startups that will go broke the moment they run out of VC money.

Note that I couldn't tell you were being sarcastic until a second reading. I honestly thought he had atoned for the mistake and you had a lot of respect for him. There's a good reason a lot of people on HN use /s. It's not just a joke.
Who said I'm angry? If the title was "American Men Are Losing Their Work Ethic", then I wouldn't have a problem with their statistical analysis -- except, perhaps, that they've further narrowed it to a certain age group -- perhaps, "Prime-aged American Males Are Lacking Work Ethic." They're drawing overbroad generalizations from a subset, and that's fishy at best.

I'm not "denying the author use the national identity." I'm wondering about is why the author would deliberately fail to examine a full half of the population. If you think that's problematic, I guess I'm okay with disagreeing with you.

The story further goes on to completely ignore the supply side: what jobs are available, and why don't "prime-aged males" want them? Is that an interesting story? Maybe, maybe not, but I'm sure there's nuance to be found there. But no, "Americans Are Losing Their Work Ethic" is easily supported with some cherry-picked charts and that's way easier to write about.

This is a good explanation of the difference between two things, and how one can try to communicate intention between them.

I've noticed though, that some percentage of people disagree that there is a difference; and don't have a mode in which asking something is not questioning in the challenge sense of the word.

The best solution in such cases might be to simply not ask, but look for cues and clues and draw your own conclusions. Not great, but sometimes it's all that is available.

Way too many personal opinions here. Check out the aptitude testing done by the Johnson O'Connor Research institute. https://www.jocrf.org/ Johnson O'Connor has turned aptitude testing into a science as much as possible. They have helped a lot of people including me. Good Luck.
Debian has a whole notion of a "derived distribution", and is very flexible. I'd love examples of what constraints prevent people from making their own rebrand..
Fair enough — but YC explicitly states a core value of being part of it is the community, especially B2B startups who frequently get their first customers from prior YC alumni companies.
The option in "Sign In With Apple ID" to provide a randomized email address that proxies to your own, alongside the boolean, would do a lot to mitigate this. Of course, Apple can associate you with your usage of the site (and it's worth keeping a close eye if they start to pivot more towards advertising as a revenue stream), but the site itself would be unable to.
Ah yes universities, the one place you can treat customers paying you loads of cash like shit.

> (with the side benefit of social websites that aren't overrun with children)

I've commonly seen this cited as a benefit of uncircumventable age gates, but I think that most proposed systems I've seen are far stricter than they need to be for this: they have a hard line exactly at 18 or 21, and allow neither read nor write access to gated-off sites. Should a 17-year-old teenager be able to access no more social media than a 7-year-old child can? And must read access always be gated, even though gating write access would be sufficient to prevent this overrunning? Teenagers have to learn how to operate in the adult world at some point, and I worry that pushing so much access to age 18 all at once could have major unintended consequences.
Temporary Containers is outrageously good.
I can't say I like that idea for licensing the source code only to use in systems that run off of clean energy.

It's great in practice, and I would love for all electricity use to be non-renewable, but it's saying that many people in many countries are not allowed to use the software due to something entirely out of their control.
Google's datacenter in Iowa is apparently operating with 97% CFE. I think they have both wind and solar power purchase agreements for that data center but I assume wind is the differentiating factor that makes it their lowest carbon datacenter.

Do phone camera apps not have options to strip metadata? I've never owned a smart phone but even my DSLR's will embed proprietary metadata that has make/model and encrypted serial number. Some cameras don't encrypt the serial number.

As a fun experiment, one could modify the exif data using tools like exiftool / exiv2 / ImageMagick mogrify to strip or even change the metadata. Perhaps make the AI think you are traversing the North Pole moving at mach-4. What other silly things could one do to the AI?
You don’t have FICA deducted.
Yup, the categories are very fluid now. Considering how many businesses "run" on some various software packages these days, they all have some sort of mainframe, but it's not likely to be one computer. I think, only the minicomputer is really gone. There just isn't the same sort of way of using the computer that there was in that time.

K&R remains one of the best books about learning C, and learning programming. There’s more to learning C, or any language, than learning the syntax.
This is a good point. If doctors start writing sanitized notes or leaving things out, it would be net negative. US patients can get their full medical records by requesting them from the office, and the notes are in there, but most patients do that only if leaving the practice or if the doctor retires.

I requested and received my medical file from a doctor who passed away. I enjoyed reading through it but was glad I didn't see those notes in real-time. I wouldn't have wanted to go to my next appointment wondering, "I think I'm doing okay, but is he going to write that I'm less compliant than the last time?"
Yeah, people are running away from Florida in droves.

I'm sorry but this is just completely wrong.

The price scales linearly, not exponentially, so it doesn't matter if you have 100,000 views or 40M, you will pay more in serving the video than anything you would earn on it.

> On a regular scale fine to host videos if you are with a regular hoster and not pay AWS/GCP network prices.

This is also wrong. If you are lucky your hosting provider will allow 1TB of transfer per month as fair use.

That gets you a grand total of 5,000 views on that 200MB video we talked about. A 17 minutes, heavily compressed video.

If your scope is bigger than sharing a video once in a while with your not-so-extended family, it will NOT be accommodated by a standard provider.
So the difference is... local workflow? Whether you branch locally or not as you do work? Am I missing something?
You could do the same thing working on branches and rebasing as fixes on master come in. I just don't get the big deal here

Trust your gut feeling. Also ask yourself would you otherwise be friends with this person? Do they truly value you for you? Do you feel emotionally safe with them? Do your friends like the person. If you have a good relationship with your family otherwise, do they like your partner? If things seem off, they probably are. Also find a therapist and discuss things with them. They will be able to tell you if things are healthy or not.

The classic symptoms are alienating you from your friends and family. Negging or putting you down... even subtle jabs. They make arguments personal as an attack on your character and identity or suggest you are attacking their character. Deep down it is all about control and fear. Usually this person will have more narcissistic traits, see everything as a reflection of them and their needs. You are just a tool to meet their needs rather than an individual human.

For folks who have been in traumatic relationships and need help healing I would recommend therapy with a trauma therapist (something like EMDR).
> I don't understand why Lenovo doesn't add an extra 1 mm to the thickness of their laptops, at least it would restore the reputation for typing feel on ThinkPads.

Because, after years of advertising made by designers and not by technical people, for most potential buyers more thin = more modern so to remain in the game they have to adapt to the most idiotic trend today: make devices thin as credit cards no matter how this would impact their usability, battery life, robustness, repairability etc.
I grew up overseas. All the hospitals were technically "islamic" but the great thing about that was zero religeous paintings. There were no crosses hanging over beds, but neither was any other image. Christians felt as welcomed as anyone else. The architecture and decoration was agnostic. Even the attached mosque was basically just a square room pointing in a strange direction, and was open to all peoples.

That's technically wrong. Evolution is possible via expansion into new biomes, or by being able to use/exploit as-yet unmetabolized compounds, or through shifting inter-species relationships (e.g. entering (or leaving) symbiosis).

Some of the best programming books date from that era. Programming hasn’t really changed all that much in decades. New tools and languages, sure. Mostly retreads or derivatives.
Investments doing so well these last 40 years is the unusual part. Vast majority of the gains in the stock market over its history happened from 1977-2007.
I'm fuzzy on the details as it's been 5+ year since I looked at it, but it wasn't as simple as that. I think it may have been that it worked over HTTP but not HTTPS, and/or they did say that accepted it but it broke under some circumstances.
Like lotsofpulp said, Walmart makes it quite easy to filter out 3rd party sellers. But with Amazon this is sometimes impossible because of fulfilled by Amazon and commingling of skus.

I’ve also found it useful to limit to only what’s available in my local Walmart.

Walmart isn’t perfect but their quality control is much higher. Oddly, their customer support is much better too. The last few times with Amazon the rep was like pulling teeth. They once asked me to mail back a $10 item so they could review its quality. It’s just a hassle that Id like to avoid by working with higher quality retailers.

I don’t think it’s a consumer cost issue either as Amazon isn’t cheapest. I think it’s just where they are choosing to make their money and they’ve shifted from innovation and market capture to rent seeking.

Depends on the specialty, but roughly $500–$1500 (higher for surgeons and proceduralists; ~5% of your salary). However, if you work as an employee for a hospital or a large group practice, you don't pay for malpractice insurance directly. The institution covers it, but obviously it will indirectly impact your salary.
FF because it keeps all the bookmarks tidy across platforms.
Why can't you create PR chunks without the build failing?

Usually, I strive for "vertical slices". That means that, sometimes, a PR just contains "useless" code in isolation, but that makes sense as I keep merging them (stacked diffs). My flow is usually:

1. Does this code have tests? What's the minimum chunk I need to write tests for it?

2. Write tests and the smallest refactor I can think of (it may be to create one function, p.e.)

3. Commit

4. Return to 1. until the full refactor is done

5. Throw 3-10 stacked diffs that can be merged with the build passing.

EDIT: formatting
If you get a big enough piece of land, you find you can’t pull all the weeds the moment you see them. You have to focus on the nasty ones. Some of the others will take care of themselves, and some are easier to pull at other stages of life. some you absolutely can’t let go to seed. Others have their uses and it’s a matter of weighing whether the “tech debt” later or sweating your ass off now feels like a worse fate.

But even the more innocuous ones can eventually block access to things, or become a hazard, and you have to clear them from the main areas in order to get anything done, or to see the nastier weeds hiding behind or under them.
Sure. But we ought not characterize doctors as “giving up” if they come to a conclusion that it would be better for the patient to pursue a path that shortens expected life span but increases quality life span.
Yeah, optics or DAC cables are definitely preferable. I wouldn’t run more than one or two 10G-BaseT units in most switches - but when you have a modem or device that only supports it, it’s a much cheaper way to get connected than buying a dedicated switch.

I had much the same feelings. It is very hard to describe to someone who hasn't witnessed it. In a moment, my perception of the earth-moon-sun system transformed into something much more tangible than it had been before. Sort of like a shift from a 2D image to a 3D model. The sense of scale also became more tangible for me.

Sadly, while Chase-Lev is great, there is currently a patent for the algorithm that won’t expire until 2025. Of course, this algorithm is held by non other than Sun/Oracle.

We have some excellent faculty allies. The admin is interested in doing the same thing to faculty (making them share space) and so faculty is 100% on our side. Hence we had a public letter with 250+ signatures including many faculty.

I agree they likely over-accepted and spent money poorly but I can't say for certain, as I'm not in admin and thus not privy to these details.
To make money, why else? Look folks, this wasn't my retirement money, it was money I didn't particularly need and had no idea what to do with.

It always worked for me before. My investing history is a long string of huge successes beginning in 2014.

I've always invested in companies I believed in and that had solid fundamentals.

It appears the market doesn't give a shit about company fundamentals right now. Most small growth companies are down ~80%. The two companies I lost everything in are currently priced below liquidation value.

Yeah, I bought on margin, so that gave me 2x leverage, so if it goes down 50% you get margin called.

Like I said. I have learned lots.
You can modify the GPL with an addition term that requires the use of green energy, but the resulting license is incompatible with the GPL with the result that code under the new license cannot be mixed with or linked with GPLed code. See section 7 ("additional terms") of the GPL:

https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

(the GPL version 2 also has this property.)

Also, its unusual license is probably why jslint is not used much.
Extinction is not limited to species. Species arent really a thing as one eventually transforms into another over near-infinite steps. Only genes/traits matter. Evolution is in fact impossible without the loss of traits between generations. Extinction of traits in favor of better ones is baked in to the very definition.
Yep. There is no such thing as a “cost center”. It either is needed to generate a profit or shouldn’t be there at all.

No, Ubuntu is a derivative of Debian. You can easily check for yourself what percentage of packages are taken from Debian without any modification.

WOW. Looks like a golden opportunity of a really fast, easy way to save nearly 40% of the cost of a car!
> If you are lucky your hosting provider will allow 1TB of transfer per month as fair use.

Where did you get that from? That's very outdated information. Popular hosters in that kind of space:

Hetzner (For a 90 Euro / month server): "In this special case, we will charge the usage over 20TB with € 1.19/TB"

OVH: Even on a 20 Euro / month server you can push ~10TB / month easily without problems. Ask all the people hosting their seedboxes there.
Thank you! Keep in mind this was a joint effort by many, many students. I just happened to tweet about it first.

Bing: Macbook Butterfly Keyboard Failure.

In reality, modern Macbooks have a horrible reputation for repairability and engage in dark patterns to stop you from getting your device repaired even when it is an option.
It's a slightly biased analysis:

> Can open source firmware projects benefit from leaked content?

> Unfortunately, no or rarely.

> Individuals or organizations that are not eligible to sign CNDA with Intel, such as open source firmware maintainers. Please note that open source firmware projects cannot directly benefit/reuse from leaked content due to legal risks

A direct reuse of everything is unlikely, but access to the material might lead to many interesting tools.

Simple example: undervolting (to save battery and reduce heat) was taken away by intel because plundervolt allowed attacks against the SGX enclave.

SGX has now been abandoned by Intel, but undervolting remains impossible.

If I ever get an Alder Lake, would I look for a way to enable that on my laptop? Yes!

Do I fear legal risks of altering the functionality of the hardware I purchased? No, thanks to the consequences of the first sale doctrine.

> Binary blobs: It’s worth noting that in addition to the binary blobs required by various devices (Bluetooth BLE, WiFi, Ethernet, etc.), there are three different ACMs for security features: BiosGuard, BootGuard, and TXT

So there's everything I would need to understand, patch then flash my own alterations? Great! I'm even more interested now!!

> the data center should prepare

> Short-term plan:

> Security team and patch management team should work together to ensure critical devices are upgraded to the latest version

And IMHO the individual interested in future attempts to reclaim full ownership of their hardware should prepare in a very different way, by:

- downloading a copy of the current BIOS binary update (and the last few versions, just to be on the safe side)

- blocking BIOS updates ("capsules" etc) in the BIOS

- in the OS, uninstalling the tools that allow such updates (ex: Lenovo Vantage)

- ideally, even switching to Linux, as Microsoft can package drivers updates with the BIOS, and if it's that big one of these drivers may include code from Intel using unusual ways to forcefully apply upgrades, that would bypass the methods you can control if the binary is delivered and run on your hardware (ex: Intel ME)

I really like Windows, and "security" in general, but I like the idea of having features like Undervolt even more!
