I think it's awesome that there's a new use for these drugs. However, obesity kills slowly, when it kills. Diabetes and Chronic Kidney Disease kill more quickly if not under control. These drugs keep diabetes under control..and diabetics like my wife are unable to get their meds because people are buying these off the shelf to lose weight.

I don't pretend to know the solution, but I do think drug availability should be prioritized to those who need it the most, not those who can pay the most (the weight loss brand of the same drug is being marketed for 2x-5x the cost of the diabetic brand, or so I've been told).
Industry should pay more for people that motivated to do the work. That this level of motivation would be used against employees strikes me as more of an indicator that there is a problem with the industry, perhaps collusion among the big players to keep wages low.

That kind of thing (collusion by big players to keep wages low) strikes me as exploitative.
Which would be within reason.

I don't see a problem paying for Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram. I used to pay for WhatsApp back in the day.

Heck, I even pay for WinRAR.

I'm on semaglutide. Was on Saxenda, because I couldn't get access to Wegovy at the lowest dosage. But now I'm on Wegovy, for half a week so far.

I was retching horribly one night at 2 am, but didn't throw up. I've felt clammy and dizzy a few times. (Possibly hypoglycemic?)

I honestly feel like it's changing how I feel about food. I don't want to eat empty carbs, anywhere near as much. Because I feel like they make me feel sick. I'm eager to have more, smaller meals. I'm eager to have protein.

I had previously done a keto diet, except maybe I wasn't really in ketosis? It was medically supervised, doing New Direction complete meal replacements. I lost a bunch of weight, but... gained it back.

So now semaglutide. Dr urging surgery as a possibility. I'm eager to not do surgery. Fingers crossed for Wegovy.
I try to work in the game industry when possible.

Unions on the game industry would never work, reason why game industry is so abusive is two fold:

1. A lot of young people believe working with games is only fun, providing endless bodies to be hired and replace the previous young that realized how much it suck that they quit.

2. Games market follow a very strong winner takes all model, a few games have all profits, literally thousands games are released yearly that nobody ever heard of or bought.

As such here is the situation:

1. Very few companies (because of previous point 2) can afford to pay good wages and benefits.

2. The few companies that actually are wealthy, get so much applicants that every year starry eyed talented newbies will join for shit pay. Hell, when I had my own company people wanted to work for free even!

3. If a union starts to form, the company will just get rid of it somehow, even if is extremely bad PR, because people will still willingly throw themselves at such jobs thinking "EA Spouse" description of crunch time is a dream, not a nightmare.

Note: currently unemployed again. I am in love enough with games to want to brave all its shittyness, but I don't have my hopes up that I will get a game job, because my wife is pregnant and I need wages that allow me to take care of 3 people now, and I know in the game industry this is very unlikely. When I first finished university nongames companies offered me usually at least 3x what game industry did for same positions. My first job ended with me getting 5x the highest offer I got from game industry. I accepted it because the game industry offer was lower than my student debt repayments for my Game Design and Production degree...
> Users must be able to withdraw consent at any time and Meta may not limit the service if users choose to do so.

Seems pretty blatantly a mandate to continue providing service regardless of users' actions.

Given that what is shown on the feed is also personalized, the "contextual ads" still allowed bit makes no sense to me.
Yes, there's in fact an incentive mismatch here between the creator and the media. But it doesn't mean it wasn't there before to some extent. There are still great resources out there. So how do you spot them?

Information does not come easy, and never has. If it's easy, you most likely won't remember it, which essentially makes the whole thing a loss of time. What I would aim for is focus. This is the big difference I think. If the content is selected for its quality, I'm in. And quality almost always mean quantity. Learning takes time and reflection. If you don't do either of these you're just consuming things on a surface level.

Replace Twitter with internet forums, replace articles with books, instructional videos with real documentaries, etc. All these things call for your full attention, and that is, I believe, the most important. Paradoxically, I've found that the best "content producers" instinctively know this and don't spend much time on YT/social media.
This is very hard to believe. AppleCare is pretty good with repairs.
The implication is "no" to 1 and "yes' to 2, because the first is framed as giving prisoners a privilege and the second is framed as punishing them. Unfortunately the source for this was likely Ken White (@popehat), and he's left Twitter and removed his tweets, so it's not possible to confirm the original wording. I'm pretty sure it was just an offhand remark he made and not something that's actually been studied.
> Feel free to downvote if you feel, as per HN guidelines, that I am not contributing to the discussion.

I feel it doesn't, as it doesn't even try to present any sort of nuanced argument, it's really just nationalistic flame-bait.

It's one thing to express the opinion that one worries that excessive regulation might mean a competitive disadvantage in the long run. It's quite another to accuse the whole continent of Europe to be "free-loaders" just because some (paywalled) opinion piece in the Economist wrote it, or to accuse it of making its people poorer.
> Everything that I've read since GDPR passed 4+ years ago has predicted that Facebook's data harvesting would be illegal

The Irish DPA disagreed. We can write that off as biased, but that’s sort of the point. Each member DPA has its pet biases, and predicting how they’ll act and how those actions amalgamate at the EDPS is nontrivial. That’s a cost of doing business in Europe that derived from GDPR’s bureaucratic design, not from its regulatory aims.
Life is like a box of chocolates. It doesn't last as long if you're fat.

It worked for one meeting. For the others, everyone I talked to had a vague sense that someone else might be getting value out of the meeting. I don't mean to criticize, I've had that vague sense too, and I bet I'm wrong about some of the meetings I do think are useful.
While it is fair to say the US economic system enables outsize wealth accumulation at the same time wages have stagnated for decades, what's that got to do with the monetary system? People who blame everything on modern central banking are usually barking up the wrong tree, sometimes in ways that originate in conspiracy theories.

There is enough wrong with the system without inventing villains.
Practically, I thought one of the main points of Cloudflare was that it cached most pages? So, a deluge of read requests shouldn't really affect you, no matter the intent (assuming your website handles caching properly, etc).

I do completely understand that you need to rate limit things that mutate the site or perform a lot of non-cacheable reads (and thus always hit your own server(s)). But if you have some sort of account system, I'd urge you to make it so that logged in users bypass IP-based limiting. Thus someone coming from a non-naive IP may hit a bunch of CAPTCHAs to login, but once they're logged in they should have an easy experience (with the idea that if the account turns out to be abusive, you ban it). An account is basically a longstanding nym.

Also, it's unkind to put privacy in scare quotes. It's true that there is very little absolute privacy with the sorry state of web technologies, but that doesn't mean throwing the whole concept out. I personally find value even in little things like some ad that slips through saying "List of <whatever> in <city not related to me>", rather than getting my city correct, normalizing the idea that it's right for what I'm reading to be reading back at me, and perhaps enticing me to click.
Indeed, we need an economic policy, not an economic drug. I’m totally for behavioural policies for obesity, such as don’t buy sweets, go for a walk each day, or make sure to eat vegetables each time you are hungry, etc.
It's the same tradeoff with any package ecosystem: improved convenience but less control over the codebase. Leave any JS project alone for a couple months and as soon as you `npm install` you'll see something like "30 vulnerabilities (4 low, 8 moderate, 14 high, 4 critical)"

The core WordPress is one of the most secure software in the world: there are thousands of people trying all the time to find exploits and the codebase is public. Go take a look at what CMS whitehouse.gov (one of the highest-profile hacking targets out there) is using.
My reading here is that an "instagram lite" that:

1. Showed you posts

2. Used what posts you liked to show you more posts you'd like

3. Also used that data to show you ads you're more likely to click on

4. Didn't give you a free choice on whether they did (3)

Would still be illegal under the GDPR.
The AI couldn't even get the directionality of the first paragraph of the YCombinator SAFE, it's in this thread.
Hold up. It was a joke.
they always found a new way to live, 100 years ago 92% of the general public worked on a farm, thank god for the tractor and automation that we don't have to physically slave away for 12 hours a day 6 days a week to earn a living.

optimizations in the system always lead to general improvements for everyone involved. it just might get ugly in the meantime while it's happening.

and ask yourself what if the city center stops being outlets for all those things that you can find online how many different ways can that space be used that might have positive impact (more yoga studios, more art exhibitions, more workshops places, more ....).
That's how sanctions are usually implemented. See: Russia and Iran, trickling down to their state businesses and armaments industries, tricking down to their suppliers. The only difference here would be there isn't a nation-state as the starting point.
The IBM 360/30 (lowest end of the 360 mainframe line other than the not-quite-compatible 360/20) used an 8-bit ALU to implement a 32-bit ISA in microcode.
For example I would be interested to see a debug mode with expandable variables and call stack, git changes highlight, flexible split layout with tabs support, toolbars if any, terminal integration, compilation log, file tree navigation, syntax highlight on non-trivial code, popups with symbol info, scrollbars minimap, markdown rendering.
I've driven through the Devil's Slide area in a car, and that is one the most frightening stretches of two lane road I've ever traveled. Prior to the Tom Lantos tunnel, the drive to/from Pacifica on that stretch of road was just completely insane.
I still have our email exchange from back in 2016 - I hope you were able to successfully leverage the eCommerce boom in India that you mentioned. Thanks for saying hey!
A lot of people geolocate stuff on /r/combatfootage for fun because they like following the progress of the war. It's a personal challenge.
It may not be fair use at all; I'm not qualified to judge on that point. It's simply the position they are taking in releasing these models. We won't know for sure if they're right until a court rules on it.
We pretty much are giving pharmaceutical grade meth out
Carrying heavy loads over long distances and tolerating great risks of physical injury are two things where there are indeed significant sex disparities universal across cultures. Exceptionally few women serve in frontline roles, historically it's been a fraction of one percent and only employed because male manpower was exhausted.

That's not to say women joining the military bring large benefits. The significant majority of military personnel, men and women alike, aren't in combat facing roles. The Womens Army Corps in WWII was a big success, and the military wanted to recruit even more women than joined to the point that selective service among women was considered: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_Army_Corps
If you work in a European company that has a web presence and/or collects data, you should be familiar with what is/isn't personal data by now.

I don't blame Americans or others for not knowing this, but the amount of bad takes about the GDPR by Silicon Valley people in particular is so ridiculous. Every single comment section about a GDPR topic on HN has a bunch of Americans talking about how Europe is some backwards, regulatory hellhole, always talking from a position of total ignorance.
Human brains helped humans survive for a long time.

An AI that survives that long surely has to be great. Probably you meant that human brains are not made for the world of today.
Good product is ad by itself. If you need ads for promoting product thats is not good enough, then let it die. It is not sustainable anyway.

We need quality, not quantity. Manufacturing for profit is over.
I did something similar twice and it was meh. Trying real games was mind blowing on the other hand, and buying the go and then the quest was amazing. Different experiences. I’m waiting for the quest 3 personally
I disagree. It's still pretty difficult to come across neutral, high-quality and well-presented information; not as difficult as when you had to walk to a library and hope that your topic is well covered, but it certainly isn't constantly thrown at you for free in the form of 30-second video clips.

At least for me, the feeling of overload comes from filler and clickbait, not information. They trigger the expectation of satisfaction, consume mental processing power, and then disappoint, leading to frustration.
Its like being in manufacturing in the late 60s, noticing the EPA is coming, and wondering how to continue operating.

When you can't work in a geographic location anymore, the answer has always been to offshore or close. Silicon Valley in 2040 will probably look a lot like Detroit does today. Remember that Detroit in 1960 looked a lot like SV now, correcting for inflation and technology, etc. Actually Detroit in 1960 was a much nicer place to live than SV now.

"Relatively soon" the concept of storing the general public's data for them, while officially or unofficially sharing with everyone for profit, will disappear from most countries.

My guess is some kind of weird legal fiction where I have something like an encrypted google drive that I "own" and google can't access, and everyone storing data about me is actually looking at documents they signed and encrypted that I store "for" them in "my" storage, although I probably can't even decode the data I'm storing for them.

By analogy, the easiest way for Citibank to extend me credit card available credit is to have a big list on their side of everyone they've ever extended credit to, which I'm sure many people would love to steal and sell for aggregated marketing data and similar nonsense. However, in theory, citibank could store nothing at all, and extend several thousand one dollar credits to me in the form of letters or documents and a software infrastructure could trivially prove my ownership of those credits. Kind of like block chain but none of that pesky privacy stuff nobody wants but the endusers and nobody cares what endusers want, so we're not going to get that.

This is how the paper coupon market worked back when people used paper coupons. They were pretty big with the WWII "ration book" generation, not so popular now. Back in 1981 I was never on a list at company HQ of dudes allowed to buy a can of Pepsi for 20 cents instead of 25 cents, I just had a paper token claiming five cents off.

Technically in the old days dental records were on paper in folders and you'd carry them from dentist to dentist as you move. Somehow I lost mine when I moved and the old dentist went out of business, those things happen, so I have no dental records from before I was 30 or so. Anyway you can't steal my records from the dentist if he doesn't have my records because my records exist solely on a flash drive in my pocket. Hopefully I'll keep backups but "the way things are" will have to change to tolerate some percentage of your customers losing all their data every year. Most data is trash anyway so not much loss. There's a lot of misplaced faith in data that my tooth records could somehow improve my QoL or make someone a pile of money, but IRL my tooth records are not in practice of any value and if a dentist wants to know if I have a filling he can just take a look at the tooth, its pretty obvious.
There exist other laws, jurisprudence, and even entirely different judicial systems besides those currently used in the USA!
Adding more houses to the market certainly will decrease pricing pressure. Nobody said banning Airbnb was suddenly going to make housing affordable but decrease prices.

And my question remains, which is more valuable to society, short term rentals or homes?
Europe is a museum at this point. Tourism is their future. What industrial sectors are left are protected by huge government subsidies and tariffs, but as energy goes up in price and their economic dynamism continues to fall, their future is keeping the capital cities pretty for US and Chinese to visit and take pictures.

A friend of mine is a Norwegian in the US. He told me all the ambitious people in Norway scheme to come to the US to make their fortune then retire back in Norway. Seems to be a very common pattern in Europe - make your money someplace without the excessive taxes and regulations, then travel back for the social safety net. Somehow they see this as moral and just which is quite perplexing.
Right, then what about saying "the amount of funding in crime is staggering" instead? as it's more to the point.

I.e should lorries be banned because house robberies would be impossible without them?
I wonder if the dynamic is simply ownership.

Larry is still the largest single stockholder of Oracle (~27%). So everyone knows he still runs the company at the end of the day.

Benioff only owns ~2% of Salesforce. There's institutional investors who own more of Salesforce than even Marc.
> Users must be able to withdraw consent at any time and Meta may not limit the service if users choose to do so.

Explain this sentence if my understanding is incorrect.
> People are just as good at making up convincing sounding nonsense.

Perhaps as you just did, as I can find no one actually "injecting themselves with bleach."

The overall point stands: the difference between reading something dumb and doing that dumb thing is what it means to have agency. I personally don't think we should optimize the world 100% to prevent people who read something stupid from doing that stupid thing.

Or, if that's the path we're going to take, maybe we should first target things like the show Ridiculousness before we start talking about AI. After all, someone might do something dumb they see on TV!
First, I'd say this is changing massively. More and more of software is about good design and beautiful interfaces. Compare even a CLI app, something very much in the utilitarian vein, from the 2000's (git) and from the last few years (ripgrep). Git does not have any sort of usability concerns. The commands are named in confusing ways (git blame? git cherry-pick?), the default editor is vim which is its own usability nightmare, and the outputs are very plain with minimal color. Ripgrep uses color, has a pretty simple setup (type in the pattern to search it!), and really nice help docs. Same with fd vs find and other tools.

And if you look at websites, well Hacker News is the last of a dying breed of websites. There aren't many sites that look like this anymore. Indeed a lot of the "modern web dev suckssss" crowd are not the people who actually build websites. Or if they do, it's only personal ones where they can have full control. If you asked any front-end developer to design you a Hacker News clone, at the very least they would limit the line length and increase the font size. It's just the vocal minority who insist that sites like Hacker News are the pinnacle of web design.

Not asking to rewrite the whole internet here, just an alternative search engine.

The expert probably knows more than the non-expert. If you like to get your info from low-waged SEO writers, fine by me.

> Just read the following sentence and tell me what you think about it: "oh yeah i get all my information about my religion directly from the pope in the vatican, because we decided EONS ago that he is the source for this kind of stuff".

The pope, and everyone that he trusts, seems like credible sources for Catholics, no? Maybe you can throw in some theologist you like (and therefore also this persons trusted connections), and you can have a pretty good catalogue of trusted searchable information.
Yeah. It would probably be more accurate to say that the medicine makes the lifestyle change easier, not that it replaces the lifestyle change.
The correct answer is because it's become very taboo, particularly in academic circles, to make any statement that implies that it's not good to be fat. So articles like these always must include at least one generic quote about how being thin is not an end in itself.
They experimented with Vala, but I don’t know much of it today. Maybe check it out!

One drug can't address every situation. You might add in an anti-depressant for this aspect, or some sort of behavioral therapy.

Consider, though, that quite a few obese people "feel bad" at least in part because of the health and social impacts of their weight.
Seizing domains is not universal. How will you seize an .am or .su domain?

In theory I would use the over-sized hammer of sanctions. Not perfect, not nice but it gets results.

Your idea compelling the client software to respect the header will probably not survive the 1st amendment

I don't think it has to. There are plenty of controls on the internet that could be seen as interfering with speech such as forbidding kiddie-porn or threats of harm against people. I believe empowering parents to block porn does not in any way interfere with the U.S. constitution. The owner of a device still has the choice to allow or block whatever they wish. But I am not a supreme court judge. We should test this.

remove copyright protection for porn

There enlies the rub. That would remove most incentives to produce commercial porn. This leaves only self hosted amateurs and probably then even a sub-set... probably mostly exhibitionists as they can no longer make significant amounts of money from it, probably just some donations to get the actors to do custom things. Great for voyeurs however would quickly get boring for many others. "Put shoe on head" would still be a thing
