I really would like to use Hetzner but their ToS [1] forbids any cryptocurrency related usage. I only want to archive block transaction data (think a block explorer). I don't know why they are so aggressive with that, I would understand PoW and PoS ban but not a hole industry.

We're on the same page but we're looking at different metrics. I'm talking about daily usage which, even if you assume that every wallet is a unique user, is in the tens of thousands at most.

The entire point is that crypto adoption is abysmally low for a tech that almost every tech literate person in the world has heard about now, and that this tech falls apart even for this limited user base.
This would make for a great talk at the polyglot Carolina Code Conference in August in my opinion. You should consider submitting a talk. Ideal for a mixed audience where SQL is such an important constant.

I'm curious to how the parrots perceive the video images ... with cameras, codecs and screens tuned to a human visual system.

While our eyes have three primaries (red, green, blue), birds have four and can see into the ultraviolet — which is missing. The "cones" in their retinas also have additional colour filters, which allows them to notice differences in hues, and thereby quantisation in the codec's colour planes easier than humans.
Birds' eyes are also faster, so they might find the frame rate to be irritatingly low, and PWM-driven backlight would need to use high frequencies so as to not be perceived as flickering.

The paper does mention these issues and finds that the birds seem to cope — but I anticipate that they would give criticism if they could. :)

iPhone 3G came out in summer of 2008. While Blackberry was doing very well versus Nokia, it was certainly not obviously in massive decline long before summer 2008. Perhaps the original iPhone in summer 2007 alerted people in the business, but still, that is just 1 year before. Until then, Nokia's smartphones were still considered among the top of the line.

I thought that earth elevation data is unreliable in forested areas, as vegetation hides the true elevation of those areas. That's probably not a significant problem on Mars...
IMO if your app is less secure than your competition by default, the app is less secure, period.

Telegram is said to have been given authorities access to user data [1], despite the fact that they advertise the opposite. I guess that’s what happens when your app is not encrypted E2E by default.

Also, they have used their own encryption algorithm in the past (I don’t know now) instead of the well known and proven algorithms out there. Something highly criticized by experts, back then [2]

> its not equivalent nor replacement in ie nutrition nor taste

Speak for yourself, it might not have the same nutritional value (but also not the same amount of hormones and/or antibiotics), but there are a few oat based milks (e.g. Alpro This Is Not Milk) that have almost the same mouth feel as cow milk (personally, I find that too fatty and prefer the non-fatty tasting oat milk).

> Its easy to buy bio milk which comes from free grazing cows

Uh huh, and how many people are doing that, especially close to the lower end of the socioeconomic ladder? There are plenty of plant based milk with a hefty trend markup, but least here in Germany the discount supermarkets have plenty of cheap plant based milk that is the same price as cow milk, and you don't have to squeeze milk from an animal for that.
I got a coding challenge as part of the interview process. I had 2h to complete it, but I finished in 30mins thanks to ChatGPT. I wrote some test cases and told ChatGPT to generate more. I reviewed them and copied a few relevant ones. It also hinted me that I could add support for fractions.

> a well-motivated but perhaps a little naive

I normally try and be positive / open to flawed ideas or initiatives but in this particular case I think describing it as "a little naive" massively understates it. Well motivated it might be, the naivety is gargantuan. This isn't a nice idea with some flaws, this is a fundamentally misguided idea at its core. Utterly irredeemable.

I wish the authors luck in that I hope they can step away & move on to something more worthwhile without being hurt or becoming defensive about criticism. Given the level of backlash in the comments here, its understandable that may be tough to do, but I really wouldn't want to encourage them to continue.
Thank you! Very interesting :) Wow I had no idea about the drug tests. That to me seems insane in terms of legal jurisdictions and human rights.

So what legal chemicals a person imbibes in another jurisdiction, can, if detected in SG, lead to a prison sentence in SG. Wow. In some way, that's like a lack of respect from SG toward the laws of the place where it's legal. Law is not just about punishment, it's also about protection.

So basically SG is now like a much shinier, better run Changi prison, where the prisoners are insanely productive in high-impact industries. I guess it makes sense, even the airport is called Changi.

This does suck tho, as it is a very nice airport, and everything looks very beautiful.

I did not expect this thread to enlighten me as to just how very fucked up Singapore is. Very interesting.

What's that quote about dying a hero vs living long enough to see yourself become the villain?
Indeed, the first challenge to unbiased approach would be the impossible in practical terms task of separating facts from fiction.

I don’t know if it is clear but I really meant it that unbiased news is not a possibility due to fundamental limitations of information theory and finiteness of individual information processing capabilities; self-awareness and bias transparency is the only way.

> helpful reduction of major biases

Only if those major biases are opposite between media.

Imagine biases as vectors pointing in arbitrary directions. Best case is when bias vector in one cluster is compensated by exactly opposite bias vector in another cluster, but how often do you expect that to happen? A more typical scenario is a vector pointing in merely a different, rather than opposite, direction. A worst-case scenario, and also common (because bias manifests itself in selection if facts to report, and most sources report on the same events), is when all bias vectors point in a similar direction.
1. who do you think implements those stl iterators whose elegance you so greatly admire? we do.

Anyone can make an iterator, what does this have to do with anything, let alone creating an entire new language for iteration?

there are no iterators in the stl that iterate over a pair of ragged/jagged collections in parallel

Parallel Iteration:
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/algorithm#Execution_polici...

Sparse:
https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_65_1/libs/numeric/ublas/doc...

Parallel Iteration:
https://www.openmp.org/

None of this answers why a new language is needed and you can't just do whatever is in this language in a C++ iterator.

The paper is mostly about data structures, this whole thing could be a class in C++, then you could use the entire C++ ecosystem like optimizing compilers, IDEs, other libraries, profiling, static analysis, etc.

When someone invents another language, the entire programming ecosystem is wiped out and everyone has to start over.

Most of the rest were military types ("aristocracy" at various levels), but there were also millers, potters, masons, wrights (makers), carters, smiths, priests, and so on. (Observe that all of those occupations remain as surnames in use today.)
What we're really talking about here is boting any deviation from a tabula rasa appraisal of reality, then clustering that into an affiliation/quality, right?

I.e. Christians (as an averaged whole) can look at the same situation as a blank slate and have a statistically significant and consistently different perspective

As can scientists. As can maybe microbiologists and industrial chemists.

The point of the clustering isn't that the tags are pejorative, but that they're predictive metadata on any source's bias.

And often times that's currently unexposed. I see a post by echelon, but only by the content of that single post (and maybe some prior HN contact) can I reconstruct his typical perspectives.

You can supplement with lactoferrin if you so choose, and on the flip side oat milk doesn't contain any hormones, antibiotics or pus, all of which can slip into cow milk.
How is Google in a Microsoft position? Ballmer made wasteful acquisitions like Skype and Nokia, and wasted 3 years trying to compete with the iOS by building 2 separate ARM operating system (Windows RT, Windows Phone) only to kill them both and revert focus to the x86 Surface line.

Google hasn't done antything like that. Their product discontinuations have mostly been for niche applications.
Getting rid of someone because of a fuck up is amateur leadership (or politics to appease the mob). The relevant question is whether or not a decision was appropriate, given the information and parameters at the time of making the decision.

Interesting, I notice that dairy is indeed very unpopular here in Spain and milk from other sources is rising greatly. Like soy and oat milk.

I don't really like dairy at all so I'm not really interested in vegan alternatives either.

Java literally has a synchronized keyword and it literally runs on your SIM/bank card, was originally created for DVD players, and runs on every major OS. Plus it used to have 20 years ago as well, but has right now also ways to produce a single native binary.

Rust is a low-level language, quite similar in the target niches to C++, while Go is a managed language with a barely-optimizing compiler for fast compile times, and a GC that prioritizes latency over throughput. They are nothing alike.

The real killer feature for me is Firefox's bookmark handling.

Bookmarks are easy to create, use, edit, reshuffle, and export.

I create bookmarks in Firefox and use them natively there, but also export them to HTML for use in other browsers.

I have a self-made, HTML "fast dial" that I use as my home page, and it has a link to the HTML version of my Firefox bookmarks, so I can easily use the same bookmarks in the same groups in Firefox, Vivaldi, and Brave, and that process is only a little clunkier in Brave and Vivaldi than in Firefox, so it works for me.

So far this is the best arrangement that I've found.

Vivaldi is an interesting but confusing beast, one I've tried and given up on many times since it first came out, but overall it's too complex for me to use as my main browser. And really slow to load.

Brave is fast to start up, and I do often use it for quick lookups, but it does some things I often do in its own goofy, awkward way, things that are trivial and much more intuitive for me in Firefox, so I'm sticking with the big F for now.

I suspect you think google search is their core business. When it's ads.

Also, just because Microsoft is ahead just now doesn't mean they will be in the future. OpenAI I believe is only so far ahead because they take what others gave and didn't give back. This resulted in others to stop sharing. Since OpenAI is going to stop getting that boost from others, it could be that others start catching up with advancements they discover but don't share.

There are a lot of people like me that just prefer eating vegan foods for animal welfare reasons. But do love the taste of meat. It's also a good transitional method during a period of change because people already know what taste they like.

This is why. Of course many foods can be even better exploiting the best sides of their ingredients but it will be different so it will be harder to convince people. This will just take longer.

I think it's principally the vegan burgers that are pretty horrible, just big fatty patties with no nutricional value, and not very tasty either, with some exceptions like Beyond.
Nothing wrong with emulating non-vegan foods. Culturally we have honed non-vegan meals for a _long_ time, and it only makes sense to tap into those learning by substituting certain ingredients but keeping taste, mouthfeel and pairing options intact.
Of course, if you shovel nothing but processed food into your maw, that's going to be bad for you, vegan or not.

B12, Magnesium, multi-vit, Omega3 (from algae), D3. I'm pescatarian (although rarely, mostly vegetarian).
Yet, here we are. ;)
> B12 is also lacking in animal-based diets nowadays, but is supplemented in animal feed. D is also lacking in animal-based diet, so this is not specific to plant-based diets.

B12 is naturally present in fish, meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products. D is naturally present in oily fish, including salmon, mackerel, and sardines; as well as egg yolks, red meat, and liver.

> Vitamins A, B6, F can be found in many plant-based foods. The rest of the stuff you listed are not essential for human health.

Only fortified vegan foods contain sufficient quantities to satisfy a healthy diet, and even then, fortification may not be enough; especially for a growing child. Of course it requires one to be diligent in purchasing fortified options.

As for the claim that CLA, carnitine, carnosine, cholesterol, creatine, heme-iron, and taurine are not essential, I refer you to these studies and sources:

* CLA is an essential fatty acid for humans (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4429457/).

* Carnitine is considered a conditionally essential amino acid (https://ods.od.nih.gov/News/Carnitine_Conference_Summary.asp...). In many cases the body does not synthesise sufficient quantities.

* Carnosine can be synthesised with beta-alanine and L-histidine (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8300828/), but vegetarians possess 50% lower beta-alanine (Harris, 2007. Harris RC, Jones G, Hill CA, et al. The Carnosine Content of V Lateralis in Vegetarians and Omnivores The FASEB Journal. 2007;21:769.20), and vegetarians subsequently typically possess significantly lower levels of muscle carnosine (Everaert, 2011. Everaert I, Mooyaart A, Baguet A, Zutinic A, Baelde H, Achten E, Taes Y, De Heer E, Derave W. Vegetarianism, female gender and increasing age, but not CNDP1 genotype, are associated with reduced muscle carnosine levels in humans. Amino Acids. 2011 Apr;40(4):1221-9). As per the study by Jukic et al. (2021), carnisine is an extremely important dipeptide for humans.

* Cholesterol is essential (https://www.cdc.gov/cholesterol/myths_facts.htm#:~:text=Myth....).

* Heme is essential (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3967179/).

* Taurine is essential (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3501277/).

It's fair to argue that the data on K2, CoQ10, saturated fat isn't as conclusive. While the data is convincing, I can't prove they are essential. They certainly haven't been ruled out as being important to a healthy, balanced diet.
But why not then fire both parties was my question?
