i'd rather all things on a system be bottleneck-forced into using the latest version of security libraries that my system is actively updating; yes, this causes issues, but not issues like "There was a huge vulnerability found in X version Y, does it affect me?".

in other words, i'd rather have system breakage than insecurity. That's a personal taste, I admit.

that said, the sandboxing aspect behind 'the new ways' is fantastic.

My org shot down an idea like this because they don’t want OpenAI to train on (or have access to) our codebase. I don’t blame them.
It’s not a given experts know what papers are reliable. Here’s a paper from Genentech https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15385631/ with 500 citations which my advisors swore is reliable because “they trust the authors.” Don’t mind the fact that the central thesis of the article is barely supported by the last figure in which they conveniently average data from completely different sets of experiments for each time point.

And did I mention my advisors released a drug into the market just recently? Lol.
The solution to obesity is a lifestyle change, or dealing with the underlying (psychological) problems. I'm all for aiding people in their lifestyle changes, through medicine or other means, but there is no drug that can fix obesity. Medicating obesity is like taking pills to make smoking healthy.

This is just the next step in the ultimate dream, losing weight without putting in effort necessary. If you need to keep taking pills to keep your healthy weight, you're just suppressing symptoms of something bigger.

That one vendor does not represent US society at large. Plenty of organizations (namely the US govt) still prefers checks. Gardeners, lawyers, and more...all take checks. I still keep a couple in my wallet for emergencies.
The example doesnt seem to support your argument. The rationale the developer gives here is reasonable and looks like good stewardship of a shared library - the patch added a new API that was tightly based on termites' needs and provided little benefit for other terminal programs. What the maintainer wanted was a more complete API for the feature. The termite dev said he did not want to implement this feature in the library. This is also reasonable. Its his code and his time. So we have two people who can't find/commit to a solution everyone is happy with. It doesn't really seem user hostile at all, just that something couldnt be worked out. Sure, its frustrating when its an app you really like, but sometimes interests wont align even when it seems from the outside like they should.
The macOS version is not available as 32-bit edition so it is twice as expensive as the cheapest 32-bit version.

I walked to school in the late 90s to middle school because we were so close a bus isn’t offered. I also did a similar thing and biked or walked to high school until a friend who took me.

When I used to ride a public transport train to work I would see young kids going to a private school dressed in school uniforms. They would go together and it wasn’t a problem, their school wasn’t in the best area either.

No one blinked an eye now or then. I live in fairly large city in the US South and half my neighborhood walks around. Never head of someone calling the cops for walking.
I mean, in some sense you did have an unfair advantage over the other players and maybe they were justified in banning you?
> An example is Tekken where I play as Lei Wulong. He's extremely uncharacteristic and idiosyncratic, to the point that if you fight actual Lei players -- it's immediately obvious that bots don't play the same. One of my friends (a newer fighting game player) particularly hates my playstyle and tried to scrim against Lei bots to practice, but instantly realized they play nothing like me or any other Lei. Lei is a rare character to play. So he had to just keep scrimming, really.

Fellow Tekken player here (since 1994 in the arcade even have a full-size arcade stick so the play feels similar). You're right that most of the practice bots don't fight anything like humans. You can, for lack of a better word, "bully" them by executing short combos and pushing them to stay on defense by advancing and they're usually terrible at take down reversals (the consistent exception is King). This tactic fails against a skilled human player who will jump, dash, side-step, or even slip in a low kick. Humans will also make you chase them around the arena when they're low on health.

Not the OP, but it seems like the actual usage of the platform caused the most trouble for them. From my own anecdotal experience of using modern day social media, it seems who you follow establishes the baseline of what garbage they send your way. But any sort of engagement, even down to which posts you hover over the longest, quickly influences your feed.
Wut.

A lot of India would like to have a word with you.
It's really really really not bad outside of the top couple percent of players. Nobody cares much about the game in lower tiers, and the cheaters tend to rise through the ranks and/or banned pretty quickly.
Airbus is experimenting with fuel cells for airliners; I believe the idea is to use the fuel cells for cruising and use gas turbines when more power is required.[0]

Joby Aviation (the air taxi developer) also bought a company that's been working on a hydrogen fuel cell light aircraft. The power density of fuel cells density would make VTOL air taxis a whole lot more plausible (though you've still got a distinctly nontrivial hydrogen storage problem). [1] There's another startup called HyPoint working on fuel cells specifically for aircraft [2], though they haven't announced a whole lot recently.

Covid was a "perfect" conspiracy disease because the symptoms were so different person-to-person.

Hard to have true data independence and also have it be "turnkey". At some point you have to pick who to trust.

Pandemic flu doesn't have to be seasonal and we don't produce enough to actually vaccinate everyone who would want it, and even in a pandemic situation it would be a challenge to ramp up production.

"Should an outbreak of pandemic influenza occur today, the doses available for global populations within this time frame would be well short of the need, given the state of
preparedness and the level of existing capacity. Our estimate is that in a “best-case” scenario, only 1.2 billion courses (2.4 billion doses) could be produced from current capacity within six months, and current stockpiles are limited."

The universe simply is, and “laws” is what we know about what/how it is. For example, the law: “Things consist of atoms.” The universe does not “know” this law, we do.
The two might be conceptually-separable but they tend to go hand in hand in practice. Although maybe you have some different things in mind by "socially liberal" than I do.

When I think "liberal" I think the liberal vein of natural rights philosophy - Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, Jefferson, et cetera - which implies a kind of unique anthropology in which man is no longer axiomatically communal, but first and foremost an individual without a common final end with his fellow man. This is the philosophical basis for both "economic" and "social" liberalism.

Sadly co-op PVP is still no guarantee the game won't be ruined by cheaters. I love Monster Hunter: World, and you'll run into random players who have hacked gear that one shot the monster. Playing with friends, or running a dedicated server where you cultivate a community, are the only options.
> Never felt anywhere close to the terror I felt living in San Jose and commuting to Los Gatos

Terror in Los Gatos?

Los Gatos is pretty damn close to Mayberry (of The Andy Griffith Show fame), imho.

Certainly parts of San Jose are horrible, but you don’t have to live there.

Is there a reason you didn’t chose to live in Los Gatos? It’s expensive, but much higher QoL if cities are scary.
If only I was using a "wallpaper". With dark mode on, even a dark grey wallpaper emits enough brightness to make things distracting for me e.g. when watching movies on the main monitor while the other monitors don't have anything on them. Nowadays my wallpaper is a jet black Image.
Most people have no idea how to detect basic non-blatant cheats. Even simple low-FoV aimbots sneak past the vast majority of players. Good enough cheats are virtually undetectable by just human inspection.

The few people you saw cheating were probably frustrated enough with the game they decided burn their accounts and ticked enough boxes in their cheat menus to let them go out with a bang. It may of course be that you are particularly good at spotting cheats and Halo Infinite is just blessed to be relatively cheater-free. (I've not played it.) But I'd expect 1-2 orders of magnitude more games to have cheaters than your estimate.

Which is a travesty seeing as how many various organizations within government can unilaterally take action that will f-up one's life as bad as a nonviolent misdemeanor.
Ask HN: Best SF areas to spend 10 days visiting while working remotely?
I will be in SF for about 10 days ahead of a meditation retreat in June. During that time, I will be working remotely, and my partner will be with me.

I visited the Bay Area extensively before the pandemic, but never while working, and they only visited once.

What are some favorite areas by people on HN that offer good transportation, quiet public cafés or areas to work during the day, and nice walks/food/social at night?
> But, personally, I think if a behaviour is learned rather than e.g. a genetically programmed reflex, it's useful to draw a line between them and say that the former isn't biological in origin.

That will lead you into all kinds of obvious mistakes. The things you're capable of learning are set by your biology too.
That is unfortunately unlikely - the best conspiracy theorists view any criticism of their viewpoint as further proof that their assertions are correct and will constantly spin BS to make sure their initial beliefs remain intact.

As I had said at the outbreak of COVID the tough math governments deal with during a pandemic is that there are only so many law enforcement assets and if they are exercised en masse they'll become ineffective due to transmission causing holes in the work force. You really want everyone to remain indoors voluntarily and for law enforcement to have no job to do - that's the ideal scenario since it preserves the strength of government organizations for any other incidents that may arise.

Society functions on using soft power to compel people to act in a way that's viewed as rational by society - anti-lockdowners don't respond to soft power to get them off the street you generally need to actually exercise hard power and isolate them - but a compounding issue is that we've created an environment in the internet where all these conspiracy theorists can attract cult followings and increase the amount of non-compliant folks which exceeds the capacity of law enforcement.

This problem isn't going to go away on a whim.
SponsorBlock might be what you’re looking for.
> Hell, I've seen complaints get dropped -- despite videos proof attached to the complaint -- that show cops slamming a kid against a wall and threatening to beat the kid up. Because the person getting slammed against a wall didn't know the badge number.

If there was video evidence of a cop slamming a kid against a wall, why was this not used to identify the officer? This seems like a pretty outrageous claim that demands specifics - where and when did this happen - and citation of sources.

Not sure what you're talking about. The class of viruses SARS-CoV-2 belonged to was known, but that specific virus was "unknown" in the sense that it had never been seen outside the lab that developed it.

It’s exactly the same behavior as password managers, adding an icon in the form field.

If the feature is the point of the extension you’re installing, maybe don’t install the extension.
For me it's about purpose and expectations. If I installed a password manager who's purpose is to inject my passwords into password fields that's what I expect it to do. That's fine. I'm explicitly giving it permission to inject such content.

If I installed a browser extension to remove trackers from sites, I'd be surprised to find it adding in email onboarding buttons to every email entry form.

It may not be clear, but the email privacy thing is a new feature. I just checked back on the chrome store and it does now make it reasonably clear that it's part of the extension now. Fair enough. But for those who had installed before, this would have come as a surprise when it suddenly started happening. The change of purpose is surprising. This reduces trust for a brand who's entire reason to exist is built on trust from a user base who are more than the average amount of paranoid.

If I installed a speech synthesis extension who's purpose was to read out the content of a web page, I would be equally annoyed if it after an update it started verbalising extra words trying to encourage me to try out their braille books everytime I browsed Amazon. Braille books might be just what the average user of a speech extension might want. But it's still a breach of trust to start modifying other websites content for a reason you weren't explicitly given permission for.

Viral, bacterial, prion pandemics, bioterrorism, an unexpected climate event, a supervolcano, a cyber apocalypse, something from space... literally anything is going to be politicized and become an "issue" because science skepticism is so prevalent, and no one wants to even slightly compromise their lifestyle for prevention or mitigation.

>I've heard the idea that it's temperature change which causes things to cross the barrier, and the fridge is the place in your kitchen with the most stable temperature.

Correct, but it is not temperature change in general, it is when that change is great enough to cause condensation. Everytime you take something out of the fridge it generally will cause water to condense on the surface because of that temperature change from cold fridge to warm kitchen, same reason you glass of cold water sweats on a hot summer day.

The conventional wisdom here probably changes with region (as conventional wisdom often does) since everywhere does not have the same climate. UK is a rather damp place so fridge is probably safer for much of the year. On reflection I did not think that part through completely, did not take into account everyone having a different local climate.

> What are the mechanics behind the US seemingly able to have infinite debt?

The root reason is due to the US government's control over its own currency.

If you have your own currency, and if a lot of your debts are denominated in said currency, you can slowly make that debt less valuable over time with inflation. When debts almost always become less valuable relative to present value via inflation, there's less pressure to rein in on government spending than if your debts are denominated in another country's currency.

This will eventually always happen even if a country decides to stick to a 1% annual inflation target. Within 100 years, said debt will be close to 37% of its current value:

1/(1.01**100) = 0.369711212

Even a 4% annual inflation target can cut that debt's Net Present Value (NPV) by to about the same level within a quarter of a century:

1/(1.04**25) = 0.375116802

The methods by which you can achieve this 1% inflation can be done in any number of ways, from quantitative easing, to regular old money printing, to government bond interest rate adjustments. Regardless of the methods used, inflation inherently makes any government debts held less valuable over time, making it easier for the government to eventually pay it off.
