> unknownable before serious scientific study is done

A lot of the mis/disinformation about COVID passed this bar (i.e. serious study had been done, and there was direct evidence that countered their claims).

On top of that, if you're going to make a positive claim about something, "unknowable before serious scientific study is done" means that you shouldn't make that claim, not that anyone can say anything they want because the truth is unknowable. If no one has studied the effects of drinking bleach to cure COVID, it's not appropriate to say "drinking bleach cures COVID".
I was disappointed the article didn’t include details about the physical connector. Lighting’s performance specs might be outdated, but I’ve always liked it’s physical interface. It’s rugged, reliable, simple, and pops in with satisfying but subtle tactile feedback.
It is not my responsibility to fill in the blanks of what you want your argument to be.

If you would like to make a point about why you believe that enjoying romantic comedies, sewing, cooking, etc. are driven by hormonal changes rather than some other factor, please lay out your case.

Citing a random selection of papers that you haven't read does not help to achieve this. It just gives the impression that your viewpoint is not a seriously considered one.

I think I was taking too much from OP's version of feeling more like a women after transitioning, rather than replying directly to what GP said.

Personally, I don't think that taking HRT will actually make a man understand women any better, so perhaps my response to GP should have been that.

Edit: fix op/gp monikers

So basically, monocrops are vulnerable to pests.
There was no plan. Elon instantly regretted the deal. He spent months trash talking Twitter. Twitter's board would have been sued 7 ways to Sunday had they let Elon off the hook. Then he suddenly got the idea that he could flip Twitter for less than the cost of a settlement. Wrong as it turns out. The idea that he would drive it bankrupt intentionally is absurd. His creditors would end up owning it. Musk and other equity investors would be wiped out. That could trigger more conditions on his margin debt. It's all as bad and chaotic as it appears to be.
Turning it off and then back on again seems to solve so many problems.

Depends on a country really. In Poland we had unlicensed driving of people that was legal before Uber came around. It’s just that nobody did a good decentralised app before Uber.

Taxis were licensed and regulated, but that gave you a benefit of using taxi stops, taxi lanes and grabbing people off the streets. Also, customers - in theory - could expect quality.
Apologies for what may be perceived as everybody jumping on you.

It’s also helping me understand women more.

I disagree. I think you're understanding your own experience more, but then you've trying to fit that to what you see or hear about from women based on a lot of assumptions that probably aren't valid.

Since we have no direct access to the internal mental state of others (and scarcely that of ourselves sometimes!) we can never be sure that we're experiencing what others are. There's a millennia-old thought experiment about imaging how we each experience the color red. How can I know that what you experience when you see an apple or a fire engine is anything like what I experience? If we could stimulate the same neurons in the optic nerve or in the various brain structures, would we each understand the stimulus as "red"? And I think that modern observations of phenomenon like synesthesia suggest that our internal qualia really do differ a lot.

That leads me to believe that it's wrong to think that hormones have changed you to experiencing things "the way a woman would", and more strongly, I'm skeptical that there's any set of qualia that can be placed in a bucket as how a woman experiences the world - I think it's absolutely individual.

(this also, by the way, makes me question how anyone can believe that their internal experience more closely matches "being a man" or "being a woman")
No. Socialism is crab mentality, backed by violence. A socialist does not want people to feel safe and free. Quite the opposite.

It's hypertext, so you follow the permacomputing link located in the first sentence of the second paragraph on the page, where you then find a definition and an extended discussion.
I thought that I should have made a note about this in my comment, but I didn’t because the author declares that the article isn’t about the cause of these differences, or whether these are inherent differences. That’s why it’s strange for me. I think the discussion is about the inherent nature of these, and not whether these exist.

>>The annotations weren’t produced by the legislature and do not have the force of law

Well i believe they did, but it really comes down to if the annotations where needed to understand the law.

There are only 2 options here

1. The full public code including the annotations needed to understand the code is freely accessible to the public

2. Ignorance of the law becomes a valid defense

This is why the ruling by the court was the correct one
Most of my non-professional emails are notifications from services, like purchases or whatever. Personal communication is almost 100% in chat apps nowadays. I suspect it's the case for most people.

So no, in that case it's not a whole lot of info.
"Humans are conscious but rocks aren't" shouldn't be any more surprising than "humans are conscious but dead humans aren't". Sometimes stuff's just dead. In fact, most of the time it is.
That's a very one-dimensional analysis of a complex problem. You can't ignore the obvious physical differences and roles in reproduction. These factors affect how you relate to a larger society and to what extent you depend on it.

The problem is not of one isolated mouse but a society of mice and how your physical size, vulnerability (men don't have period pains or pregnancies) affect how you relate to society and thus your personality.
This closely resembles the value that I can provide to a company, but I want to add something on top of that.

A manager can assign me any task, and know that it will get done. When there are blockers, the manager is notified. I think this is a huge benefit.
Some recent personal projects with laz and fp got me pretty interested in it.

I have nothing impressive to show for my work except for a lot of retro-pride when I type in e.g. the snippet which triggers the Pascal program which tells me how old I am. With some bells and maybe a couple whistles.

I was surprised to learn that there was Pascal for the C64, which I thought was more of a "BASIC or bare metal" system.

I too was a victim of the great AP Pascal force-feed in my HS comp. sci. class...but fortunately at the same time there were demoscene programmers around the world blowing my mind with Pascal programs and it seemed like there were new projects to appreciate online (BBS) every day after school.

To whit: Someday I would like to write a Pascal raytracer that tells me how old I am, with emoji output, since my other ride is a text editor. (And if you don't like my driving, get off the sidewalk!)
I’m passionate about this. I’ve already lost 2 of my best reports (1 Indian and 1 Chinese) to our Canadian office. The few remaining people we have on the H1 pretty much had the current lane duck session as their last hope for reform, but with Republicans controlling the House and then low hopes for Democrats in 2024, I think we’re gonna lose them all. Especially if the UK implements the immigration reform they’ve been promising by switching to a Canada like points system.

I'm not sure it's really that impressive. Once you understand that there was fundamentally never a legitimate business underneath all of the things that would have been impressive look a lot less impressive.

How did he build such a successful exchange? Well, he never had to run it as a profitable business so it was very easy to attract customers.

How did he raise so much venture capital money, well it turns out he didn't have any financials or accounts at all, so it turns out he was simply lying to all of his investors.

How did he get valued at $XBn, well he told them FTX was worth $XBn and when they asked why, he just lied to them.

Well how did he come up with all this money to keep the scam going! Well, he literally just took every penny anyone had ever given him - Alameda investors, VC investors, FTX exchange users, and spent the money on whatever he felt like at the time.

All this would be very impressive if it were an actual business, but if you take the view that it was never actually a business, it was just a Logo in front of SBF lying, it's quite a bit less impressive.

That crazy crypto hedge fund Alameda raking in dollars? Go and find me a trade they've done. The reality is they probably just spent the last 2 years handing Jump 0.3cents a trade on every trade they ever executed, and Jump never figured out that the money couldn't be cashed out.
I hope both of you are appropriately accurate here. This comment has influenced me! I appreciate the summary of this concept of intelligence.

I say this with no ill will, just purely out of interest: can you provide a source or relevant further reading? Obviously I can start the search myself, but I ask because your targeting will be much better.
Easier said than done.

For example, that's what Elon Musk believes he is.

He has enormous amounts of money to back his ideas, and then you have seen the results, mostly is just manipulation and other people actually do the things.
Scratch for Experts?
Hi Friends,

In the last few days I did some research on Scratch. You read everywhere: Scratch is nice for kids! Particular for teaching. But I was wondering: Is Scratch good enough for professional development? Why isn't it used for it?
I liked Atom before I jumped into vim.

I installed about 10 plugins that made my vim look almost exactly like Atom, except much faster, I also had a script that could install the exact plugins in any unix system in a few seconds, very useful since I work with VMs.

Best of both worlds, people often forgets/don't know that vim are actually more configurable than other editors - colors, layouts, you name it.
Luck is always an essential ingredient in success. Can you point to any counterexamples: i.e. an industry legend who is a specialist?
> What you saw is what it would look like without the restraint, because that’s how hoarders work: they buy out all available supply.

The second part here just doesn't actually substantiate the first part. If this were strictly true then I would've never been able to observe 1) a medical professional purchasing a mask from a retailer and 2) a non-medical professional declining to purchase an available mask from a retailer.

In fact I observed both.

Of course it's an open question as to at what scale this occurred and how it nets out in the end against the credibility hit, it very well could've been minor and not worth it, but that's the thing that remains not obvious even now, never mind in early 2020.
>"What does that radio signal look like at the endpoint, once it has traversed all of that space?"

Exactly the same, just much weaker.

The issue at play is just that light moves at a finite speed, and cell phones would rather assume the tower is dead (and switch to a closer tower) than wait a long time to get an answer. Not physics, just software.
It’s hilarious that we just had a massive pandemic after which 90% of the discussion on this forum was about how everything can be done remotely now, and you think that American workers need to compete with H1Bs who no longer are competition for them when they remote work from Beijing instead of Hawaii, except, now, potentially at 1/3 the salary (at which they still live much better quality of lives in Beijing than they did in the US).

The complete lack of logic of the anti-knowledge worker immigrant position never ceases to amuse me.
If a brain is a hypercomputer (like a quantum computer), then you could simulate it on a classical computer; you'd just never be able to do it in constant time, so it could never be fast enough to catch up with reality.

Also, you wouldn't be able to simulate a specific existing brain due to the quantum no-cloning theorem.
> researchers are nudged into the acceptable / publishable middle

Researchers go where the funding, like water, is found.

But does too much drown the roots?

Possibly the breakthrough researchers are a sort of cacti in an intellectual desert.
No, I'm quite happy with the tone and message of the article thank you. Just because you have not experienced the many instances of compromised machines thanks to this "feature" (and feel free to find the HN thread where this article is discussed also) does not mean the feature is not dangerous. I assume you don't have a problem with popups not being heavily restricted and opt-in now.

I have no idea why you seem to have a personal problem with it but, alas, it's personal. If you don't want to use them that is up to you, I don't care.

> People who were forced to starve, to subsist, to suffer empty, meaningless lives of toil and/or misery, now have an alternative to the continuation of their suffering

They virtally always had, though. Suicide is legal. Even when it isn't, it's always been an option, and people have always used it. Short of that, even hardliners like the Catholic church are explicitly fine with terminal sedation (medical treatment that is intended to relieve pain, but is expected to hasten death as a side effect) and refusing life-prolonging treatment when that is understood as only postponing the inevitable.

The culture war polarisation makes it sound like the alternative is keeping you alive in agony against your will and confiscation of your family's assets if you commit illegal suicide.

Nobody is proposing that! Everyone wants to respect people's autonomy. It's just that we feel denying you official approval for your suicide doesn't interfere much with your autonomy, and things like the feeling that you're a burden to your loved ones or wasting hospital time that could be better spent on others - can interfere a lot more.

That life is worth living is no small assumption. It's a huge one, and one of those which it is questionable if can ever be justified on anything resembling "objective" grounds. Please, don't even try.

It is nonetheless the assumption that is the basis for everything we do, from getting up in the morning to voting to obeying traffic rules to calling an ambulance if we see someone collapsing to the ground. Do we really have a meaningful alternative that involves not affirming it?
I think one-off payments are just easier to get through, and while they obviously don't fix everything they do help people who are hit with surprise bills.

Even though it looks like a cool bag of facts, this really is just a bunch of correlations without good citations indicating any causal effect.

Which is actually confirmed at the end:

> We can't conclude that these isolated incidents are caused by climate changes. On the other hand, we can conclude that such incidents have already become more common. And that it will likely cost us several hundred billion NOK to arm ourselves against all this water.

I'm worried that this kind of reporting only helps climate-change deniers.

EDIT: Leaving the original comment in place, but it seems like there actually are citations behind the "Source" button which is present on many slides but doesn't work correctly for me on any browser that I've tried.

To break down why this picker is bad, here are several UX snags I immediately ran into.

1) It was not obvious how to set minutes, and I spent several seconds trying to get the hour hand to go in between hours.

2) When I let go and it snapped to minutes, it was not obvious to me how to go back and change the hour I had just input incorrectly. Then after I input minutes I expected it to jump back to hours but it didn’t. This is especially bad if your first interaction is a single touch rather than a press and hold, as it will jump with a wrong input and no obvious way to go back before you can even process how the interface works.

3) I have to look at different areas at the same time to select a time. My finger is trying to scroll a circle (where btw my finger covers the number), but I have to look above to see what the input is.

4) The above was even trickier in the minutes inputs, since there were not markings for sub-5 minutes.

5) It was not obvious that the top bar was clickable as an input area to select am/pm, especially since clicking the top bar would not otherwise allow you to input the time.

6) It’s not obvious with the switch to minutes / seconds that the units have switched. Need some representation of this on the clock face itself.

Some major ticks on all inputs and minor ticks that pop up on the minutes input would help a lot with 1, 4, and 6. Could be subtle markings, but would help quite a bit imo. But really this didn’t need to be anything other than a simple text input.
Ask the dinosaurs.
You have to be steeped in American culture wars to decode stuff.

Many people supporting Musk at present do so because they believe him to be a champion of free speech. At the same time, they view the left as totalitarian as trying to control speech.

Twitter is viewed as a bastion of left-leaning supporters of Democrats who stole the last election from Trump by banning conservative speech from the platform. They believe Democrats are now in the process of implementing a totalitarian state in which Joe Biden, who is corrupt and the head of a crime family, is the dictator. They also believed that Joe Biden is using the FBI, which is aligned with leftists (?!) to silence critics and persecute his enemies.

In this framing, by unbanning nazis, qanon, insurrectionists, and anti-trans accounts, Elon is restoring balance to Twitter and saving free speech for the world.

It’s basically an exercise in projection to try to whitewash the Trump years through incessant whataboutism.
"Note that M4 doesn’t support non-ASCII characters in definitions so my ideal macros had to lose their $ prefixes."

$ is ASCII character 36. I believe the intended restriction is that M4 restricts macro names to be made up of letters, digits, and the '_' character (and cannot start with a digit), which means you can't have a $ in the macro name.

If you have a job, I suspect that eighty pages a week is a good pace for something like philosophy. Fiction can be a good deal quicker to read, at least if there is a strong narrative (i.e. "not Proust"); Four hundred pages a week seems doable. History would be somewhere in the middle.
Maybe someone out there in HN land will read this and make a web annotation add-on to zotero. One can hope at least. You're right hat it is the missing piece of an already very capable tool.
Exactly this. That's why I often read comments like "just install zsh it's so good", or "I have this vim config with plugins and everything works as I expect" and have to react - "ok, good for you, but I have to use fresh installs of linux exclusively, often embedded, and I just pray it's not a busybox, so only defaults for me forever". Learning vim to edit a few lines a week on some remote host, because they didn't bother to include nano is ugh... Bad.
