How does one start to see a healthy diet as a “quality of life”? QoL is when you eat a chunk of anything you feel like, down it with soda and feel nothing bad next hour or day. I could do that, lie on a couch watching mtv or go fall from a tree when I was young. That was quality of life. Everything after 30 is just a life support. You improve life support by a diet or a (careful) walk.

So here is one of my current fav. conspiracy theories AND it involves Elon.

Remember the first payload of his "Falcon Heavy" rocket - some tesla or other? Had a tailor's dummy in a space suit strapped in the front seat.

That was a real person in the suit who had paid for the most effective, reliable and longest lasting cryogenic freeze available. No maintenance power required. Will continue to be frozen even if the earth explodes. Not beholdent to anyone alive to make the right decisions...

Elon decided not to just hide it in plain sight but make a spectacle of it with live feeds etc.

Probably nonsense but makes a certian amount more logical sense than a dummy in a space suit, huh?

The reaction is initiated by the lasers.

You can’t actually use a hammer to initiate it at any useful scale because hammers can’t create the appropriate pressures and temperatures to initiate the process at the scale needed to produce a useful energy output. Which is why the lasers.

So no, the lasers are not immaterial at all.

Honestly, code reviews and pairing are a good idea in any shop. These things significantly improve code quality and ensures that more people know what the code is doing.
This kind of initiative lacks a core understanding of the requirements for thinking and intelligence in general, and by its nature of compulsion is subversive.

In order to think, you must risk being offensive, in order to learn you must risk being offended. In either case, you must have the freedom to do either, and compulsion is evil.

By compelling speech like that, you are indoctrinating future generations, and doing so along a path where they will be at a disadvantage and won't think because they have been brought up in an environment where the priority given is that it is more important to say the politically correct/right thing than it is to risk being offensive or do anything. If you can't question anything, can you even form a basis for real thought?

Do you have any value as a person if all you do is parrot what someone else says?

Not only that, but it also shares some of the same philosophy that lead to the deaths under Mao.

This makes me fear for the future because Stanford people are supposed to be intelligent, and yet this is just so utterly... stupid, borderline brainwashing, and it likely violates core institutional mandates/ethos.

> My point is that over that distance, any train is impractical?

It is practical though. Those 21 trains a day to/from Urumqi aren't running empty; I'm sure part of the motivation was national pride (as with most megaprojects anywhere), but those high speed lines were built primarily because they're useful.

> Like sure China has fast trains in a small area, but west of Chengdu, they don’t

And yet, as per your own link and my response, train service west of Chengdu is still significantly better than in the US. The US being big and spread out is just an excuse.

I don't understand what you're suggesting or pointing me to about what evidence there is about what the people who had these Roomba's knew.

I'm also surprised that the top post is about the ordering of some words, it never even crossed my mind, and really emphasizes how no matter what people will find something to be upset about.

They should say "for Android apps". Boom. Makes more sense. I'm sure there are other phrasing tweaks that would also work.

But it's just like Microsoft to blindly settle on a name that doesn't make sense, based on advice from legal, and not probe it a bit more, or play with it to make more sense while still fitting the guidelines of legal advice, and to cite the legal guidance as the reason it has to be mediocre and cannot change.

Something I find fascinating about living in the San Francisco Bay Area is that Cryonics has had occasional bursts of interest around here dating back to the 1970s... which means there are genuinely warehouses out here that have had frozen human bodies sitting in them for 40+ years at this point!

I think the problem is that the name could be interpreted as a subsystem that runs on Android to provide a Windows API or services.

I had that issue with WSL; it sounds like it could be the name of an official WINE-like product from Microsoft. “For” is often used to specify the target.

I think this is unfair to the founder of Binance, honestly.

SBF was a pure unadulterated scammer. He was a thief, a crook, with no redeeming qualities. The guy who picks your pocket - SBF is as bad, worse, than that.

The founder of Binance voiced some doubts about the safety of SBF's exchange. Why? Because he had some insight into it. Because he knew people had their money in it and, by staying silent, people could lose more. And because, if SBF turned out to be a scammer, he doesn't owe him 'respect' - he owes the people in the industry a warning, if he can give them a timely one.

He was right about every single suspicion he had, and when it comes to his 'criticisms' of SBF, he deserves absolutely zero blame.

I find the whole concept hilarious. There's an implicit assumption that someone in the future will be bothered to resurrect a frozen body, then resurrect them from death (since they already died before being popsicle-ified). And even if they could be bothered, the thawed would be a lab experiment, owned by whatever corporation pulled off the magic. And if magically they came out of the ordeal functional and free, there'd be those pesky bureaucrats to deal with (id, taxes, all the fun stuff). Hilarious.

I didn’t realize until I thought back over music history and the Biz Markie case that hip hop’s East Coast “jazz and chill” phase that TTQ, De La Soul, and other Native Tongues artists brought to the table probably resulted directly from samples going away.

Without samples and sequencing being the primary production technique, suddenly real instrumentation and organic musicality became the thing. Hip hop started building on covered riffs and musical passages more than straight up samples (I’m guessing the licensing was easier).

That also gave us Check Your Head from Beasties, as the follow up to the pioneer sample-laden album Paul’s Boutique, where they famously played their own instruments again and became even more popular. The Native Tongues scene also gave us Prince Paul/Dr. Octagon, which gave us Deltron 3030 and Dan the Automator, which gave us Gorillaz, which…

There really was a lot I suspect would’ve gone quite differently without that court case.
Nope, not at all:

From the AG statement:

>Tether’s claims that its virtual currency was fully backed by U.S. dollars at all times was a lie…

>…for periods of time held no reserves to back tethers in circulation at the rate of one dollar for every tether, contrary to its representations.

>In reality, however, the cash ostensibly backing tethers had only been placed in Tether’s account as of the very morning of the company’s ‘verification.’

>… the very next day, on November 2, 2018, Tether began to transfer funds out of its account, ultimately moving hundreds of millions of dollars from Tether’s bank accounts to Bitfinex’s accounts. And so, as of November 2, 2018 — one day after their latest ‘verification’ — tethers were again no longer backed one-to-one

The AG’s statement was pretty clear in going much further than “strongly implying” there are actual serious problems with Tether’s backing claims.

I've been a remote worker since about 2006, as an employee, a freelancer, an employer, and probably other capacities I don't recall...

The biggest problems I've seen have been cultural / social more that technical. For example - micromanagement over slack is just as bad as micromanagement over the cube farm wall. Many managers are not adept at trust and communicating to their team, and being remote forces this even more than in-person. Frankly, I've always seen this as a positive. When you see each other every day in person, it is easy to be complacent in communication. When it is happening often more async, perhaps with greater linguistic or cultural barriers, it is even more important that your communication is succinct and effective.

The other side of this is that many workers are not good at controlling their own tasks and schedule. Again, I've always seen remote work ("asynchronous work") as a catalyst for better personal time management.

Trying to break decades of Taylorism and similar flawed American management concepts is hard. Remote work necessitates a degree of trust and autonomy that most companies can't handle.
McRib is in fact a good example. It’s marketed as “for a limited time only”, which is precisely artificial scarcity. That its availability is actually dependent on pork prices is kind of irrelevant. McD could bring it back in the future, or they may not, but if it is, it will be again be for a limited time only.

Importantly, it’s not marketed as being available at certain time of the year, rather its availability depends on McD marketing choices —- that’s what makes it an example of artificial scarcity and not a seasonal item.

Really no different to Disney having old releases in the “vault”, and selectively re-releasing them every so often at a time of their own choosing.

I just want to add 2 things to kemiller's helpful comment:

1.) Just talking to a therapist who you feel heard and understood by (whatever their method: CBT or any of the others below) will be a massive help - you'll feel less alone and the challenges and mindsets you wrote about will begin to feel less all encompassing. The world will be a less frightening place.

2.) I think Deutscher's post is one of the most courageous personal posts I've ever seen on a message board/social forum (certainly the most courageous in 2022). One of the hardest things for anyone to do is to admit their life hasn't/isn't going the way they expected and instead of lying to themselves, they do the incredibly brave thing of admitting they need help.

Anyways, I just wanted to commend Deutscher for that (hopefully before my comment gets buried hours after the original post)
When I lived in Taipei many years ago there were a lot of subtitled Japanese food and travel shows. One time, the show profiled a small restaurant in southern Taiwan (Tainan or Kaohsiung, I can't remember which) where they had the same pot of soup broth going for more than a 100 years. Not just the broth, but the pot itself. It had a misshapen, oily hump on one side of the pot's edge.

There is so much of this. Is there any hope for a world where we can ship working memory without costly XDR? Does anyone have data on the rate of change of time or energy spent on XDR translation?
No it’s not.

It’s specious to think that just adding supply to the desirable metro areas like San Francisco, New York or Seattle would be enough to make housing affordable to teachers and lower paying jobs. You’d just get more unaffordable housing or have to somehow flood the market with so much inventory that they would no longer be a place where people want to live.
How is the current planning and zoning working out for affordability?
It's up to the publisher whether content bought from the Apple store has DRM, not the store itself. Many books have it, but publishers like TOR and any books from Brandon Sanderson don't. There's sometimes a line at the bottom of the description that'll note it. For example, on Redshirts (https://books.apple.com/us/book/redshirts/id501758516)

> At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
> My view is that "gatekeeper" used to - and still does - mean someone or something with actual power over belonging to something, and by extension "gatekeeping" commonly means someone who doesn't have actual power but tries to exert social influence as if they decided who does and doesn't participate in or belong to a thing.

From a straight up grammatical perspective, I'm not sure what you're saying makes sense, or really what you're trying to say. What you're saying "gatekeeper" means tracks just fine. But I'm getting thrown for a loop with "gatekeeping" because that's either a verb (e.g. "The dog is gatekeeping.") or an adjective (e.g. "The gatekeeping dog..."), but you're giving it a meaning that only works for a noun ("someone who doesn't have actual power but...").
Basically, I don't understand what you're trying to say, but what you're saying seems like something I'd like to understand.

In the sense that you own the physical CD but only have a license to use the music on it. Ripping a CD is not legal in many countries including UK and probably the US [1], so do you 'own' the music any more than someone who has pirated it? I guess, in some sense.

With America, it entirely depends on where you go. Some parts of a single city might be dangerous, and other parts nearby much less so. Detroit has a bad reputation, but isn't unsafe everyhwere.

That said, every place in the US is generally less safe than many other countries just because of the usage of cars, and their typical high speeds compared to other places. Over 30k people die in the US every year in car crashes. Usually, people think of crime when the word "unsafe" is used, but they forget all the danger with cars.
Sure, but in the US children under 13 are more often than not banned from using internet services due to an ill-conceived law called COPPA.
Is there any verification that there actually was consent? E.g. has anyone come forward with evidence that there really were devices which did this?

Even then, who made the consent? Did they verify the person who did legally had the ability to do so? What happens if the person on the toilet is a child?

I hate lawyers and I’m not one myself but even I can tell you this is a bad fucking idea.

Yeah, the main thing I dislike about capitalism is how weak our say is about the corruption. Like we can watch insurance companies fuck us on the daily and people will genuinely act like it's their divine right to minimize cost at the expense of human life, because it unironically is, we are reduced to the place of dogs. At least in a state run system (with a functional democracy underlying) you're anger can be manifested in a changing of the state. Getting a functional democracy going is also it's own impossible problem though...
It’s calling a branch of the government and describing a situation involving imminent or ongoing violence which the government is expected (though not legally obligated) to respond to.

I have a few questions for the HN crowd, specifically people w/ an actual structural engineering background, in case this ever makes it somewhere people see it:

I ask this because the guy apparently is a plumber by trade and digging a tunnel in that kind of ground w/ what's on top of it seems crazy to me if you don't actually have a background that let's you accurately calculate the kinds of supports that are needed for this kind of tunnel. Are those pieces of what looks like 'scrap metal' spot welded on gonna hold up anything if push comes to shove e.g. water infiltration?
