> What would it take to drop flight prices 50%?

1. Free fuel. Fuel is the biggest cost of flights. For domestic flights, about half the ticket cost.

2. No taxes/government mandated fees (including fuel taxes). These are the second biggest cost, and for international flights, can easily be half the ticket price, but for domestic flights, about 20% of the ticket price.

3. Free planes. Planes are the third biggest cost.

4. Free administration. The Airline bureaucracy is the fourth biggest cost.

5. Free Stewardess labor. Fifth biggest cost.

6. Free Pilots.

> I didn't know that Raspberry Pi was popular among organised crime

You didn't answer my question: why are you so confident that such surveillance was/is strictly confined to organized criminals?

> I am very disappointed by HN members on this one... really unsavoury.

The feeling is mutual. People playing defense for literal government surveillance and the officers perpetrating it does the name "Hacker News" a rather tragic disservice.
> not sure why you're being so argumentative here

If someone were repetitively replying with negativity to posts they disagreed with, I might call them "argumentative", especially if their replies were dismissive and snarky. Was I doing something like that here? I don't personally see it, but I'm open to criticism.

There are people who will label any opinion they disagree with as "argumentative", however. That's not what's going on here, is it?

It seems like basic laser printers ought to be sort of commoditized by this point, shouldn't they? For my modest needs, laser printers were good enough 15 years ago. What's the printer equivalent of, like, a $12 Logitech mouse? What's the Kirkland brand jeans of printers?
I found out long ago that it really is cheaper to replace a color laser printer than the toners in it (printer is approx €150, while a toner set is approx €250). A new printer with toners lasts about 5-8 years as I print very little. So I haven't bought printer toner ever.

Although not exploitable, the bug is still an issue. Here are reasons to fix it.

* Puts burden on readers to know or find out if something else already protects the bug from being exploitable, instead of just having a check in the code. That's trivia masquerading as an optimization.

* A bug or change in behavior in one program (the kernel) could cause a bug in another program (ping) due to assumptions, which may not even have been documented as never changing guarantees. Could make a bug somewhere grow into a worse bug elsewhere, as well as being harder to debug.

* It allows the program to be fuzzed or statically analyzed for any bugs without having to constrain what inputs are considered valid enough, adding maintenance costs and opening for accidentally limiting too much and hiding exploitable bugs.

* Another option to be clear that this is impossible and thus correct code would have been to assert that the user data never looks like this. A failed assert is better than an infinite loop, so this is an improvement. However this would make it blindingly clear that user input is trusted, making it too obvious to ignore the next improvement; to check and handle the issue, even if that input passed through another program first.
And `test.c` contains yet another bug, namely using `memcpy` in the wrong direction.
The hooks are very limited unfortunately.

I don't know what it uses to output non-English text, but if you address it in a different language, it'll quite happily speak that back to you. And I'd say it understands it just fine, not really any worse than English - although it sometimes gets the word forms wrong in inflective languages.

* There is nothing wrong with password logins if they are used properly.

* Google does not have a good track record of customer service, not putting all your eggs in their unreliable basket seems like a good idea from a security point of view.

As a keyboard warrior spending hours sitting in front of the computer, I was having back pain issues and gaining weight every year.

This summer I decided to tackle the root cause, so I started doing daily walks during my yearly vacation (about six months ago). Most walks were short (30min), and some took a couple of hours because I was visiting friends/family/local events, going for small groceries, ...
If it was less than 10km/(~ 7 miles), I had the time and the weather was reasonable, I walked.

I was convinced I would have to walk a lot in bad weather, but this turned out not to be the case: in the morning I check my calendar and the weather for that day, and mentally mark a few opportunity windows to go for a walk.

After doing this, the biggest task is getting up and putting on my waking shoes and coat (and chest light when it can get dark) when the time is there. Once I do get out the door, I usually have to force myself not to walk further than I initially planned.

In the beginning 30 minutes felt like a long walk. When I go for a walk now, it feels like I'm only beginning to get in the flow after 30 minutes. I do have a fixed route for my brisk walks that I tend to do during weekdays, which is a little over 6km and now takes at most an hour. (It used to take way longer when I started, so there's progress there as well.)

I tend to go for bigger walks during the weekends, or as a "reward" when I close a big deal/wrap up a big task...

So what did I do with all that time before I went for these walks? A lot of it was mostly feeling productive/creative: browsing around on the internet, noodling at the piano/guitar, watching TV or doing a gazillion small things. Turns out having a fixed walking window where I let my mind wander is way better for me personally: I tend to come home with at least one insight, doing a lot of "gedankenexperiments" (thought experiments) and come back more zen.

Next to this it's also improving my physique slowly but gradually. I keep close track of my progress via a smartwatch, because I'm an IT guy after all, and love tracking progress...

All things considered, it took a few weeks/months to build this habit, but in the end it was
all about starting small and building up gradually, stacking up one little habit on top of the other as time progressed.

Over the last fortnight I have been unable to go for walks due to a medical procedure, and I missed my daily walks a lot. Thankfully I'm now able to slowly reboot the habit, and I don't plan on stopping with these walks anytime soon.

Highly recommended!

(I then got it to give me an example of a well-known song in Am and it replied "Love me to death" by Type O negative, of all things. That's actually in G# minor - interesting the web in general does a really bad job of guessing what key that's in too, most of the responses from a google search say F# major! I'd think "Stairway to heaven" would be about the best known song in A minor - looking at some of the Google results I suspect part of the problem is interpreting the "A" as the indefinite article rather than the note name?)
So your theory is that extra-marital sex is a modern invention?

I would say your example of the Maya shows more that many old societies had extremely powerful marriage pressure put on what we would consider children or at best adolsecents, who would have been far less able to resist such pressures than today.

I don't see any agency about sex in the citation you give.

In fact, 30 years later those frameworks still win over many missing features in the standard library, like networking and graphics.

People that are actually successful using Tinder are definitely NOT looking for marriage/kids. It's a hook-up app.

You are right in your observation that women reject droves of men who aren't in the top 20%, not only in Tinder but in real life too. But OP is also right in his observation. The few males that are at the top have so many choices of women that staying with just one doesn't make too much rational sense.

In the end, we have 80% of males not being able to catch the interest of women, and the remainder 20% that do get female attention are not interested in long term relationships.

My conclusion: Low birth rates are being driven by the 20% of men as a result of the sexual preferences of 95% of women.

I learned today that these are real-life hyposprays. In fact, the Star Trek hyposprays are named after the brand name for one of these. Here's a photo of what these look like in action,

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fjooo0jXEAEri7D?format=jpg&name=...

They work with pressure to deliver a dose of the vaccine subcutaneously without needles. (I had always thought that they were some kind of needle-based injector instead)

I just think it's so cool that we already have hyposprays and it's a thing that we can improve! And deploy everywhere, including dense jungles. These worked on literal pedal power. And were painless.

> Hingson's device used a piston to propel the vaccine at a rapid speed into and under the skin—the vaccine moved so quickly and under such pressure that no needles were needed. Public health practitioners gleefully noted that this method of vaccination was so painless that it could be used on a sleeping baby. But best of all, the jet injector could hold 500 or more doses of vaccine, meaning that hundreds of doses could be delivered within an hour.

Alas, they were phased out due to backwash and contamination from the injection process. But that's a fixable problem. I think.
In a world where the de-facto language is English but most people are not native speakers, it's actually really hard to compose official or neutral sounding messages. I can navigate colloquial conversations in English pretty well, but I find it difficult when I have to reply to business or clerical emails where I need to sound neutrally professional, whether because I lack vocabulary or because my own native language idiosyncrasies slip in and make the message awkward to native speakers, something that an automated AI like this would eliminate. So I would say you just have a very limited view of the world outside your own small universe.

> ok so again, you want to allow people with power to have a system more like the legal system.

Where the hell did I say that? If anything, nothing is stopping you from doing research, putting a hole in such a powerful person, dumping your cig ash on them. Sure, there might be consequences for you. But those powerful people who do something you don't like will learn that they cannot expect to abuse a system and always get away from it. A temporary hellscape, to keep those "in power" in check.

If you wanna waste your time with the legal system (which also creates a temporary hellscapes, but under terms that you believe in) because of your faith in what it should be, be my guest.

One would be a fool if one thinks that stopping someone from supposedly inciting w/e on some social media platform will magically solve the underlying problems (like, why would so many people even listen to this person in fhe first place if they were placated and happy? totally not possible for them to eventually find someone else who says some similar shit to go to ends of the earth for... lol). And even more of a fool if one thinks a nations laws will be sufficient (even at some idealized level to whatever scale your belief in it is maximized). I'll protect my self from such fools, esp if they come at me personally with that nonsense.

In the mean time, ill help other people have the same means as I do so they can fight their own battles, whatever those happen to be (at least those who have grown tired trying to outsource it to people).

It’s mid December and I just took a cold shower
Hey HN. I just wanted to share a change I made in my life recently. Yeah. The cold shower itself was actually pretty terrible but now I’m feeling pretty great. This is not my first time though; I've been taking cold showers for the past weeks. At first I started doing them to recover faster (soon I’ll be 30 and I’ve set the goal to get there in the best shape of my life). But now I've incorporated them in my longevity framework as part of my day to day. Anyone else is doing cold showers or ice baths? I’d love to know more people doing this and your experience with it.

It will always lead to the same sort of supposed systemic biases regardless of the system, because so much content is based on subjective judgement calls at the end of it (IE, who decides what is "good enough?"). In other words, there will be another anecdotal thread about the future Github-style wiki and all of it's problems and drama.

If you'd read the Microsoft Research PDF linked above, you'd have seen that fork scales with how much memory the parent is using, which would be invisible in these synthetic benchmarks. They say that Chrome on Linux might take up to 100ms to fork. That doesn't scream very fast to me.

It is important if you want to fix it. If you think scrum is the problem, then changing scrum to something else might appear to make sense. However if the problem is not in your framework but with tangential organizational goals then it won't matter which framework you use. I'd say that's pretty relevant to discuss.
I like the idea of qualifying metrics, ranking them, taking actions on them. However I have noticed a lot of tools are mostly "graph goes up means it goes up" and then some mention of Head And Shoulders.
