I don't think we should measure it – at least, not obsessively. We should research and study it, and put in place measures that should theoretically work, and pay attention to whether what we're doing is working, but we shouldn't look at the measurements and go "this is making the numbers go down; we must be doing something wrong!" without at least double-checking that the numbers make sense.

You can't outsource domestic transport and, for the moment, most electricity generation.
Some really weird product decisions this year. E.g. they are also hellbent on showing me "shorts" in my search results. I can't think of a single occasion lately when I didn't want to see the full description and comments and they make it hard to get directly to the video. Worse still they are applying this "shorts" concept retrospectively to any video that happens to be short in length, meaning I get videos that were never intended for that format by the creator.

Fortunately this bookmarklet (which i've named "eat my shorts" in my bookmarks) does the job:

javascript:(function()%7Bwindow.location.href %3D window.location.href.replace(%2Fshorts%5C%2F(.*)%2F%2C "watch%3Fv%3D%241")%7D)()

raw:

window.location.href = window.location.href.replace(/shorts\/(.*)/, "watch?v=$1")
Many medical students have their cadaver stories that have similar intrusive thoughts.

Some of those thoughts were shared out loud and definitely come off as ignorant due to the curiosity of the writer.

There's a book I read recently "When Breath Becomes Air" that talks about this rite of passage and the "respect" for mortality that isn't always shared by first year med students.

Thanks to productivity gains in the last 100 years, that's not a problem. We have a solid amount of people not working, we don't have a shortage of workers in general, we're lacking high skill workers, and workers who are willing to do shitty jobs. We can solve the high skill issue with education, and the latter with better wages for e.g. elderly care and nursing.
You make it sound like it’s not a big deal or relevant. You deflect from the fact that this is about women facing abuse.

This news it very relevant because still in 2022 sexual misconduct by men in positions of power seems to be a huge issue stil.

I mean, doesn’t it say something about the current state of things if the bloody parliament is not safe for women?

I have no illusions about how it is for women to work in sv for all the tech bro companies. Uber had some very public history on this. This topic is unfortunately as relevant as ever.
How does that affect the argument that a society of plenty does not exist and therefore we have the problem that we need economic growth? A good way to get economic growth ... is to pay for it. We can argue about excesses, but not about the basic premise.
Solved isn't the exact word. It's something. It's the best we can do. That doesn't justify reckless behaviours in my opinion, just because we don't yet have scientific evidence that they are

Yes. Everyones been doing smearing (of slightly different flavors) since 2014ish when a kernel bug caused a bunch of havoc across linux and cisco boxes. It was a Bad Time.

For everyone that gets leap seconds right theres 10 who muck it up and have incorrect telemtry at best or data loss and crashes at worst. And this happens every time. So folks like GP who want or need to be Technically Correct are free to do so. But the smeared time from the big providers saves tons of hassle for regular developers and customers.

4% quitting. But what effect does it have on the other 96%?

Quitting is an extreme response (not wrong, and I totally understand people who'd decide to quit).

But what's the response of the other 96%? No response? Lower productivity? Toxicity? Less helpful? Indifferent? Revenge? Destructive?

I doubt the 96% will have no response.

What’s even more strange is people trust the military to be loyal, but the amount of cheating relative to the general population in my opinion literally creates a culture that values cheats.

Degrowth doesn't imply that.

You imply that population will increase indefinitely (max peak expected at 12 billion actually) or that degrowth needs to happen forever.

Further you imply population development increases if degrowth is applies.

Also, slippery slope argument.
Yeah exactly, that's what I was alluding to before about only mocking the hook/function that performs those side effects. But I guess if mocking modules will no longer be possible (still haven't seen why that should happen), that will still be problematic too.
Act 60 is fairly limited in scope, and you can only get tax breaks on a couple things. All other income may not be subject to federal taxes, but you will pay Puerto Rican taxes, which may even be higher than federal taxes.

In a British style constitutional monarchy, it is the job of the monarch to resolve these sorts of stalemates. The title is absurd.
Seems completely reasonable. Kids are expensive, and people should rewarded, not penalized for raising them.
So the government should redistribute wealth via taxes to incentivize having kids. Why would an individual employer be expected to take on that burden? Not to mention the arbitrage opportunities it opens up.

> The issue I take with the “Global warming” crowd is that there’s a lot inaccurate predictions (nearly all of them thus far) and the evidence misrepresented and questionable.

I think that's a problem with general prediction by experts. There is no consequence for anything that media and experts push daily as "the right thing to do". The "Zero covid" strategy is another similar example. A lot of experts and media tried to push to this, but then later one it proved itself as not sustainable[1]

Sure, the shares are collateral. If their value drops, the brokerage will sell them to cover the expenses I racked up on the Visa card.

But it's not like the pizza I bought was priced in AAPL shares! It was priced in dollars. The margin loan isn't material to the payment system.

It's the same situation with crypto debit cards. Anything you buy with such a card is priced in USD/EUR/whatever. The crypto behind the scenes makes no difference, just like the AAPL shares in my brokerage account. Hence these crypto-backed cards are not crypto payments in any sense — they're a financial product that already existed.

If you argue with climate catastrophe, you should rather argue for decreasing the number of people (which includes avoiding having children) to decrease the CO2 footprint.

Unfortunately the so-called "civil" wars are often much bloodier than external invasions. And in cases like Syria there is even no hope of resolving the conflict anytime soon. The only good thing is that the intensity of the war dwindled somehow.

I'm starting to enjoy much smaller, hyperlocal coworking spaces. Part of the benefits of homeworking is that I don't need to travel to a city centre to work. WeWork (at least in the UK) are situated entirely in city centres which means to use them I still have to commute which has a time and financial cost. Not to mention, they're always the most expensive option here.

Places like this [1] are a short walk from where people actually live.

This is fascinating take and I love that this view is being represented on HN, specifically because it is not a minority opinion in the real world based on my interactions with my social circle.

<< People wildly overestimate how much other people care about them or their secrets.

People may not care about your secrets now. Right now you may be young. Right now you may have not pissed anyone off sufficiently to hire a private investigator to dig up stuff on you. Right now you may not be a party to a lawsuit.

All those things may be true right now, but things change. You have no idea how valuable right information can be at a given time. And here you are, volunteering it on a silver plate for anyone to pick as they please.

I mean, if that's it... Imagine WhatsApp or iMessage allowing their users to talk to Matrix, but not make it as easy to find people there as on their own services. People who might've been tempted to join Matrix before would probably no longer be, because they'll feel they can get all that with their existing service, while they'd still pressure Matrix users to join that service because the experience is subpar from their perspective.

Basic question for people in this field: have a Muse S (2nd gen). Are this device sensors enough to play with more serious research/biofeedback that the features included in the Muse app?

I understand the device includes a developer SDK. I didn't find enough feedback or usefulness with the official app. Don't want to troll but personally after an hour of running I feel great while using the different options in the app I don't feel nothing special.

I'm a Pinboard user and am happy with the bookmarklet which in my experience works flawlessly.

But... I (almost) never lookup any of my bookmarks. Googling is faster -- and safer, since it's possible I'm wrong and didn't actually bookmark what I'm looking for.

Bookmarking satisfies the mind; it's a bit like hoarding. Maybe the best bookmarking service would be a mock interface that doesn't actually do anything.
I've only known a single officer, but she said it was a lot less prevalent amongst officers than enlisted, still happens (she was in fact having an extramarital affair at the time - I found out later), but it is probably closer to the real world average. Maybe there is less need to marry before you are ready as an officer.
Alternate/additional explanation… the dotcom crash happened after the first quarter of 2000 when the quarterly financials of the big internet hardware/server vendors (Sun but also EMC, Cisco, Oracle, etc) came out and sales were way down because nobody had quite anticipated that their clients would take the servers used for y2k testing and repurpose them, rather than buying new stuff. Then the voice of skeptics had credence to raise other concerns (ad swap, etc) which snowballed.
With kitesurfing you also have the lines in the mix. The biggest waves I personally surfed were 8m (what can I say, I was young and stupid). One guy dropped his kite and the next thing he was standing on the shore with every section of his kite ripped out. We were all feeling sorry for his ruined kite but he was happy to get out of there alive. Apparently he got tangled in his lines underwater and thought he was done but by some miracle managed to get out.
SQLite has seen runaway popularity on HN lately and I bought into the hype too for a while but when I look under the hood, the 3rd party backup and replication stories just seem janky, tedious and not yet mature.

I'm not sure what your point is. You said the nodes are slow. They are not slow, and will handle thousands of requests a second when configured correctly.

If you arent getting that then you are doing something big, something inefficient, or something stupid - and that would be the same on any size node.

Size your instances accordingly.

If I had a dollar for every enlisted guy I knew who got married to get the extra $1000-2500[a] a month and permission to live off base (unmarried enlisted E-4 and below live in barracks, married enlisted get a housing allowance and live off base, or get private on-base housing in lieu of the housing allowance)...

...and then got divorced a few years later because he got married for the wrong reasons, well, I'd have a few more dollars.

I hadn't heard of Clickhouse, so had a look. It seems to be an OLAP backing store and not what one would call an OLAP database - because it doesn't support MDX. You have to use Mondrian as the OLAP server middleware. Or am I misunderstanding?

And why would one use Clickhouse vs Sql Server as the backing store for OLAP? Is it that much cheaper?
I read the text. The author sees the trees, misses the forest. At the micro level, the inefficiences are glaringly obvious and pervasive. But they exist and continue to exist for a reason. It isn't because people are stupid or corrupt, it is because that's what the industry optinizes and incentvizes for. That doesn't mean things can't get better or there aren't things to improve on, it's just that this author doesn't seem to understand the big picture yet which makes me very dubious of such a person's ability to execute any meaningful changes

I don't believe subscriptions will be going away anytime soon. Creators still like the sub count even though it is pretty meaningless these days and YT themselves seem to have a love/hate relationship with it, while on one hand they want to do away with subscriptions, but on the other hand they still use the metric for things like being able to monetize content, access to features/services and they add things to the creator dashboard telling creators the percentage of viewer who are subed/unsubed and recently disabled to ability to hide your sub count from the public.

And as you said there are viewers who exclusive use the subscriptions page, I used to be the same and had my default youtube "landing page" as the subs page. But YT changed something and broke that and before I could be bothered to fix it I found that I was enjoying atleast some of the content the algo was recommending to me so started using it more and more, and before I knew it I stopped using the subscriptions page entirely.

So while they wish they could turn subscriptions off, I think they know it would cause too much backlash and would still have to still have to add a way for viewers to follow creators they want but make it more meaningful. I'm currently subscribed to over 500 channels but a lot of those channels could be removed from my list because it contains channels I no longer watch (be it because my tastes changed, the channels content changed, the channels are dead/retired) but I cba to go though the list and unsub. At which point a viewers sub list is just adding noise and delieverying (atleast some) content the viewer doesn't actually want to watch.

They don't seem to be doing this to pursue anything other than personal curiosity. And fairly light-hearted curiosity at that -- the tone of the article, to me, sounds more like, "Ooh, nerves are neat!" than someone trying to build a body of knowledge for a larger purpose.

I'm not going to go so far to say that only med students should have access to cadavers... but this article does feel like a rando just cutting someone up for fun, and that feels a bit off to me.
> It should be obvious that freely knowing salaries will improve the employee's ability to negotiate the wage they deserve.

I would argue that for high performers, it could become an excuse not to pay more. "Sorry, we know you did XYZ, but we can't give you a further raise because you're already 4% ahead of your colleagues." And of course, everyone thinks they're a high-performer, so this policy would be unpopular with actual high-performers + the people that think they are (but aren't, and wouldn't be affected anyway).
This is extremely arguable. And one might say the main effect, not the side effect.
Isn't Hacker News the home of "software eats the world"? That's a massive part of the de-correlation of economic growth and emissions. Except for AI training and proof of work, software is a low carbon activity. And it's massively cumulative -- it's not consumed, the software produced 20 years ago still has value.

Some other examples: would anybody deny the iPhone 12 is better than the iPhone 11? It's smaller and presumably has a lower carbon footprint.

How about the F-150 Lightning? Each one of those that replaces a standard pickup eliminates demand for about 50,000 pounds of gasoline. The aluminum frame was likely produced using hydro-power so much fewer emissions than the traditional steel frame. The 100 pounds or so of lithium in the vehicle is highly recyclable.
I hate XPaths with a passion. They are powerful but a waste of time. The easiest solution is to use visual automation tools like UI Vision (web browser) or Sikuli (desktop). There you write something like "click: login" - and the word login is found not by parsing the DOM, but by using OCR.

Obviously such an automation runs much slower than any Selenium based automation, but it its sooo much easier to create and maintain, especially on complex websites with tons of Javascript and frameworks. I believe this is the future of causal (test) automation.
