On HN, many people may run their own sites and thus able to freely editorialize however they choose.

Editorializing headlines of a press release directed at a different audience with likely more context to make it accessible shouldn’t be seen as a bad thing. It spurs discussion.

Perhaps the boundaries of editorializing headlines need to move to accommodate for this. So long as there isn’t opinion inserted, it seems fine.

The earlier submissions title was imperfect for being too short and missing the qualifier “The first . . . In the US”
I recommend having an explicit plan for how you intend to use Emacs or Vim.

I've been using Emacs for five years. When I got started, I also started journaling daily with Org-mode. That gave me a reason to open Emacs every day.

I wonder if in the future we'll have some sort of FPGA formed by a neural dish. Hook up an HDMI port to a cube of neurons and it OCRs text or tracks objects. I suspect biological variations in cells would make the results inconsistent, and far inferior to what we can do with semiconductors presently, but it's cool to think about.
I've heard of gravity batteries, but they are not a proven technology for utility-scale storage (yet). Can you please elaborate on what utility-scale storage will take the place of our current system whereby production generally scales up and down with demand, which will be more difficult with energy sources that can only produce intermittently like solar and wind? Hydro and wave energy generators look promising for baseline load, but those won't alleviate the need for utility-scale storage altogether, right?
How is the publisher part of the problem by pointing out a shameful injustice?
The Guardian pretty much contradicts the spin being offered here:

Sounds like it isn't a "woke mob" coming after her, but the actual subjects of the film really feel like they're being taken advantage of, their perspectives are really distorted and they felt she was re-interrogating them. The idea that the film is being cancelled solely because the filmmaker is a white woman seems to be being pushed by the filmmaker.
Picking on you, sorry, but what do you mean when you say 'climate change'. I don't think you're saying anything, it's like saying 'bad thing'.

What caused what exactly. Eg, if day warmer waters mean there is less habitat that the crabs can live in, I get that. Or if the deep, cold ocean temperatures have not changed, then that's not it. Or if the crabs have been poisoned by fertiliser, then say that.

I do resent the idea of this catch all term 'climate change' that appears to have answered something while saying nothing. I guess it appeals to us on self masochistic/'original sin' grounds - we want to blame ourselves, and that is a decent, scientific sounding answer that passes muster.

Fwiw, given one of mikedeen's comments, it sounds to me like trawling, and the destruction of habitat, is also a possibility.
Oh man.... Wigle is something I haven't thought about in a very long time. Was quite active between 2005 and 2010ish. It was so cool to drive around my local city and submit data to see dots on the map where there weren't any previously. Even had a netbook (remember those terrible things?) running linux with a couple antenna in the back of my motorcycle for a while.

But it's clear that the data isn't being collected very much any more. Apparently I have enough "points" from way back in the day that I'm still reasonably highly ranked. Also looked up my SSID and the dots are at my old home, when I moved over 3 years ago.
I did find it odd that the dealership couldn't accept my state-issued ID for ID validation. Maybe there's some regulatory capture at work there. Even if state-issued ID docs were accepted, that would solve for KYC but not for credit scoring.

Interesting that they don't mention amazon bestseller lists. I believe the amazon lists are purely mathematical. (Why do I believe this? Because I haven't heard any author complaining about it. Whereas everything in the post about NYT is common knowledge. )
The parent is a highly misinformative comment.

Three things are true here

1) If you dig into the details, the actual censorship is so weak in practice that calling it "censored ethereum blocks" is mostly false.

2) There are great reasons to think that the weak form of censorship this does in fact comprise is an inherently temporary problem with ethereum. And pretty much no good reasons to think it'll end up being a long-term state of affairs.

3) Nobody informed was surprised by this. It became an outcome whose high likelihood became generally known within industry shortly after the tornado contracts were added to the OFAC sanctions list.

The CIA wants to bring woolly mammoths back from extinction
Yeah - GP appears to just want to dunk on the NR I stead of comment about the story.
What you are describing regarding inputs, brain activity on data stream, and how its just a recursive ETL function and such, is describing behavior and computation though

You have some input that goes into the brain, and produces neural firings that trigger actuators to respond to that stimulus

What I don't understand is why are we conscious beings instead of extremely complex bio-computation machines exhibiting memory, inputs, and complex behaviors such as attention and decision making models, all with behavioral actuators, and all this simulating thought and intelligence but really have no entity whatsoever thats actually experiencing stuff?

I've always wondered what ultimately makes neurons and all so special that they produce conciousness. Does a rock that undergoes vibrations have some sort of consciousness associated with it, if not much less than what is seen in a human?

So maybe consciousness is an inherent property of the universe that is in a plane beyond what the 5 senses can pick up on? But that in humans it finds a greater catalyst or something than in animals, plants, or minerals?

I dunno, what do you think? Is there anything rational in that train of thought or did I smoke too much crack again lol

TBH I take a lot of my inspiration of this from Baha'i Faith, which teaches that science and religion are essentially in harmony (i.e. different views on the same reality). To me a lot of the bahai teachings are really deep and elevating (i.e. making me a better person and less selfish by helping me see something more valuable than survival tendencies)

Hopefully I can live by it though
Fappocalypse wow!
Yes, wind and PV solar... but there are many other types of renewables. The rest are still more expensive than natural gas currently.
It's interesting the the article thus shows the same kind of selection bias that they were complaining about.

I think the missed or perhaps unspoken observation in this thread is that if the language provides it, and you're using it, you're tying yourself to the language, which tends to last a lot longer than frameworks.

Switching languages obviously requires a rewrite. But you aren't also rewriting the framework integration too. Some languages have work-alike frameworks, but they aren't ever exactly the same behavior and semantics. There are always subtle but important differences.
Because that’s not what TAI is designed for. UTC is for civil time keeping, and that’s what everything except highly-specialised stuff is tied to. The ISO 8601/RFC 3339 serialisation is UTC-based, so you’ll have to go heavily non-standard to use TAI, and you’ll find a complete lack of support in general date time libraries, so 37 second errors are sure to crop up all over the place if others ever touch things.
> Hopefully we come out of it stronger.

True... we can only hope.
A computer is the thing you attach to your graphics card.
Yes let's just go free for all and the market sort it out. When was that a good idea when it came to safety critical infrastructure?! The whole let the current generation reap the profits and the market will magically figure things out got us into the current mess in the first place. The nuclear industry is not being held to higher standards relatively than other means of energy production. Wind farms must jump through significant buerocratic hurdles despite the fact that the potential dangers are massively lower.
I mean the launderers just want to make money, that’s obvious enough. The argument is if the ccp is viewing this as payback by choosing to not catch the money in their banking system, or catch communication in WeChat, which they monitor. Turning a blind eye on purpose.
From experience, the brain is basically processing inputs (perceptions) and then outputs thoughts or actions.

The issue is when either the inputs are distorted or the processing is being interfered with.

Caffeine for instance can induce psychosis in some people by indirectly effecting dopaminergic response (via its action on adenosine receptors).

Other drugs can do the same. (we all know that marijuana can induce "bad trips").

But really, everything we perceive are inputs that can startup brain work. And some inputs are stored in memory.

One thing that can work is metathinking, i.e. awareness of one's own brain processing (observing one thoughts and bodily sensations for instance, basically meditation).

That's the processing part but one should also avoid distortions by avoiding psychoactive substances (alcohol, tea or coffee included).

Psychiatry doesn't work too well because it is underfunded and is stuck on alleviating symptoms. Psychiatrists are the first to admit that they don't really know how things work.

There are some weird stuff that can be discovered at the brain level once someone monitors their own thoughts/ brain chatter but this is somewhat esoteric. That's the realm of yogis, qigong practionners etc but there is too much folklore and I won't delve into that. Doesn't seem scientifically proven although I have my own experiences.
> compared to just making money?

Making money and then feeling patriotic that you are helping China slowly destroy America because of what they did in the past.
> Every so often some "nice" but vapid book or fad comes along and makes a lot of money from people in that literate but dull IQ range of 104-106 and while it's never fun to smilingly fend off recommendations from well-meaning friends ("You should read this! It's really inspiring!") it's all pretty harmless.

While I'm not defending McKuen, if you are going to be a critic at least be an interesting critic. To quote the linked article:

> Even the critics who weren’t quite so overtly snobby clearly disdained McKuen’s fans for the crime of merely being ordinary. Hentoff witheringly describes the crowd at Carnegie Hall as “contingents of thirtyish women who might have come from the airline offices, the telephone company, innumerable typing pools.” Future Hollywood writer Nora Ephron wrote a McKuen takedown in Esquire, called “Mush,” that observes the audience at a D.C. show: “You won’t see any of your freaks here, no sir, any of your tie-dye people, any of your long-haired kids in jeans lighting joints. This is middle America.” When Nora Ephron calls you middlebrow: sheesh!

That at least is at interesting.

> He's really easy to hate though. I hated him before I even knew his name. Fuck you, Rod McKuen.

Hating on something easy to hate - how dull and vapid.

Try - instead - hating on the faux-intellectualism of HN or its even more explicit intellectually snobby brethren (looking at you lesswrong). Criticism of easy targets with few defenders is as forgettable and boring as the material it seeks to attack.
This is not correct. The point of the BitTorrent DHT is to share address information of peers for a torrent.
Yep. I put in about 10 miles on the mountain bike earlier today (OK, technically yesterday since it's after midnight here, but you know what I mean). And 12 miles on the road bike the day before. I'm at 35 miles total for the week right now between road and MTB. My target goal is 40 miles per week right now. Not a massive amount, but reasonably challenging given my age and fitness level, and yet totally doable as long as I don't have issues with work or weather or something that keep me from riding.

Trying to get back to doing a couple of miles a week of trail running as well. Just gotta figure out how to fit it in around everything else.
I think it was just sheer repetition. I had to switch back to VSCode a few times a week to be productive on a time crunch but other than that I just had the mouse enabled and scrolling and tried to not use the mouse as much as possible. I would often tweak my config to find more intuitive key bindings that I could remember.

My view is that it’s just like learning a language (albeit easier) and you just need to give yourself space and time. Structure is good, but can also be overwhelming in the sense that you try to min max like vim pros from youtube. I just found that I would take it in digestible pieces and build on that. First it was jumping lines, then changing inside or around, and so on and so on.
The way we shape our maze determines our behavior which one could use to design personality. For example, if the kitchen is on the road side you wont see your neighbors as often. Or 2 bathrooms give your grumpy morning mind some alone time.

In a way we are different people in different rooms. The transitions could be interesting to explore. For example toilet > kitchen is not done or even illegal. A toilet in the garden on the other hand seems fun.

Maybe hybrid rooms build an interesting character. Say a bath in the middle of the living room next to the fire place. A kitchen library also seems fascinating.
That was an exceptionally low price, as per the article the other end was $.40 per MWh (actually Euro, but they're trading at better than 1:1 right now). Furthermore, this was excluding storage which more than triples the total price.

Solar is indeed better than nuclear if your goal is to reduce the amount of fossil fuel use by shutting coal and gas plants down during sunny days. But if the goal is a total elimination of fossil fuel use, then the cost of storage has to be included and nuclear wins out.
Put.io reuse download content amongst all its users. It's only present on the network for a short period of time. Because it's a paid service, actual usage is quite small compared to all regular users combined, so they would not get much attention.
> Links to tools for Slack are appreciated.

I would tend to think most of these suck. Slack is a proprietary chat app. Why would people contribute significant free time to make something for it?
I was going to say the same thing but for Modafinil. It has been demonstrated to be not only non-neurotoxic but neuroprotective, you don't need to sleep sixteen hours when you cycle off, and it doesn't change your personality.

I'm diagnosed ADHD and Modafinil has been saving my life (defined as my ability to hold a high paying professional job in tech and provide for my family) for a decade and a half.
> (due to a national referendum)

That was an interesting referendum. There were 3 options to vote for:

1. Nuclear power would be phased out

2. Nuclear power would be phased out, with added support for low income groups

3. Nuclear power would be phased out in 10 years

Isnt psychoanalysis more related to therapy and psychiatry more related to chemicals and medications tied to how the brain works?
Yeah, it can store 120 megawatt hours of power, which is pretty big, but the largest pumped storage battery in the US stores 24,000 megawatt hours of power and started operation 36 years ago.

I use emacs with evil and been using it for over a decade now. However, I use VSCode for web development and Rider for game development as the integrations are superior with vim extensions for those IDEs. What you are looking for is a set of principles that make theses editors better. You can take baby steps towards it and 1 - 2 weeks is very limited time if you want to change your editing style (It's like learning a new language).

1. Modal editing (VIM / Evil): Install vim extension pack[1][2][3] for VSCode. This should give a good starter pack.

2. Practice:

- Disable the arrow keys using keymapping in VSCode or with a keyboard customization (s/w or h/w).
- Disconnect the mouse
- Practice long writing / code editing sessions where your productivity doesn't matter. You are learning.
- Start with simple navigation (hjkl, go to line)
- Use numeric prefixes
- Begin using text manipulation commands (yi" or di> for example)
- Use normal mode keys for window navigation (spc + w + h for example)

Once you get comfortable with this you should already see a decent leap in comfort/experience and almost zero mouse usage.

3. Next install emacs with a configuration repository[4]. Most of your practice in VSCode vim should apply almost directly.

4. With emacs, you have a vast operating surface. You can choose to use it just as your editor or you can use it as an operating system: email, calendering, note taking, calculations, twitter, rss, text based browser, file manager, http request playground etc. Org mode is essential emacs experience. You can add the rest of them very slowly

Currently no insurance is willing to insure against major disaster. So how are companies going to pay for it? You can look at the cash reserves and immediately see that this cannot be correct.
The documentation for it is great too
> You're going after the wrong people here. Journalists hungry for clickbait can't wait for incompetent customer reps to tweet some stupid shit. So the "journalist" can blow it out of proportion. It's literally their bread and butter.

You're quick to spread around accusations of incompetence and dishonesty.

Is it too hard to think that a corporation's main PR communication channel actually reflects the company's official PR policy, and that their backpedalling is really the company changing it's public message to reflect a change of heart in a company policy?
If you look at the statistics, in the developed world factory farming makes up about 98% of all meat produced commercially.

Before I stopped eating meat, I thought the meat I was buying came from good sources. The farms were nearby, conditions seemed okay, it was organic, etc.

The reality is that all of these animals don’t have good lives. They don’t eat well. They live in bizarre conditions. The vast majority (nearly 100%, again) end up in feed lots if they’re cattle. They’re fattened and then killed essentially as adolescents of their species. Forcefully inseminated, taken from their mothers, killed as babies for veal, fed absurd amounts of antibiotics in some cases, many die in their pens, etc.

This is normal. It’s how we farm. Industry is good at putting a smile on it, talking about values and generations of farmers and doing it right… But these animals are bred and killed for cash, no one gives much of a shit about them, and it’s all very grim.

The excelsior pig farm near me in Abbotsford, British Columbia is a great example. This farm wasn’t exceptional. It’s just another pig farm. But pigs were dead in their pens, cannibalizing each other, dead in trash bins, dead in dumpsters, covered in feces, sores, and wounds.

You’re not going to get rid of that. Meat as we know it doesn’t exist without this race to the bottom circus of torture. People are eager to believe their meat habit isn’t based around this or that something better is around the corner, but it’s simply not the case. These animals are here for profit, yet no one is willing to pay enough for them to live comfortably. So they will suffer.
What converted me to vim was understanding that the commands are composable. For instance: the d key is used to delete, and de deletes to the end of word. But it doesn't end there. Typing t followed by a character goes to the next instance of the character in the current line, so if you type dt followed by that character it will delete everything just before it. If you play around with different commands, and practise navigating through a file this way, it's only one step to editing a file in the same way you navigate through it.

"Firefox blocks the access to site, I think most of other browsers do not."

www.paypal.com returns a valid certificate. Chromium based browsers redirect to there. Firefox doesn't redirect there unless you first visit www.paypal.com. Once you have visited www.paypal.com in Firefox, paypal.com gets redirected there.

This is not my area of technical expertise so why things get redirected one way versus the other I don't know, this is just the behavior I have observed.

You could balance it that way but people don't like it when there is a power out, nor do they like when a electrical shortage causes prices to rice 10-20x that of normal prices. At that point people will vote on politicians that will fix the problem using tax money to bail out the situation, similar to how people expect government to fix the problem when banks crashes.
This is like saying a library is incomplete because it does one thing well, and if it’s not a full-fledged framework it’s useless.

I recommend learning about Unix and the associated philosophies - you sound like there’s a lot more growth in your future!
A solar plant is certainly liable if accidents happen on its grounds. They don't need insurance against a major disaster like a meltdown because it can't happen.

Nuclear is NOT liable for a major nuclear disaster. No insurance would cover it. So I don't know where you got your knowledge from but it is not based on fact.

Edit: OK I should have been clearer. They are liable like everyone else. They have (unlike solar installations I suspect) strict liability which means the damaged person does not have to prove fault. However, the amount of liability is limited (in time and amount) and the state takes over. This is what I was referring to with they don't have liability (admittedly incorrect the way I wrote it).

I flew from Cancun to SEA in the beginning of January 2020. Lots and lots of people did.

Did those engineers get sick, before you were symptomatic, and had you had close contact with them (meetings, dinners, etc)? And did you have the characteristic loss of taste/smell? If you can answer 'yes' to all of those (including that they were definitely sick with the correct timeframe) then you've got at least a better case than most people who got sick in Jan 2020. But even given someone who had visited Wuhan in early Jan and had respiratory symptoms, it is more likely that it wasn't SARS-CoV-2 and it was just normal influenza/cold-like viruses.

And you can definitely have allergies get worse as you age, late 20s is probably when mine got bad, and they've gotten worse over time and I get sore throats now and they feel nearly like a cold. My Birch allergy got really noticeable sometime in the last 10 years.

Get an allergy test, though, and see.
