I've tried UHT-processed milk in other countries and agree with you that the flavor is bizarre; usually the stuff is sold in TetraPak containers ime. But in the US, I can't tell the difference in flavor compared to non-UHT milk - Horizon was the first brand I noticed that sells mostly UHT milk products but nowadays, most grocery store-brand milk is UHT processed and it seems fine.

I personally want the Reddit of 10 years ago back... while accepting that this is fundamentally impossible. Reddit was originally mostly uncensored, unfiltered discussions between actual human beings and this is something that I view as a Fundamental Good, but that a majority of people view as evil and dangerous. Until a large majority of people actually believe that others saying what they're actually thinking and allowing anybody who wants to listen to do so, Reddit or anything like it can never work.
>Later, I introduced the encyclopedia to my kids. They had never used a print encyclopedia, and they looked at me like I was an alien, almost as if I were speaking a different language (such a trite expression, but man, is it accurate). I had hoped they could use the encyclopedia as an old-fashioned reference, but so far, they have completely and utterly rejected it, not even expressing interest or opening it once. That aspect of my plans for the encyclopedia has been a big failure.

The kids' reaction makes perfect sense to me and I grew up with an encyclopedia set in the house.

My family was poor so we couldn't afford the "nice" encyclopedia sets like Encyclopaedia Britannica. Instead, my mom bought the Funk & Wagnalls encyclopedia one-letter-at-a-time from the grocery store. E.g., the grocery store didn't have the entire A-to-Z set at the store. What happened was volume 'A' would be in the aisle near the checkout. You add that one book to your grocery chart. (One book wouldn't blow the whole household budget.) A few weeks later, the volume 'B' would appear. After a few months, you'd eventually end up with entire A to Z set. F&W was the "more affordable" encyclopedia and they brilliantly set up a "installment payment plan" by tapping into mom's weekly shopping habits. Very clever strategy to use supermarkets as the sales channel instead of commissioned door-to-door salesmen. But even that was too much money for us and my mom couldn't afford the entire set in one year. So the volumes she missed had to wait until next year with a new print edition which was a different color. So our encyclopedia set was a Frankenstein set combining different years. A lot of older HN readers will know what I'm talking about.

I used that F&W extensively in school but I don't wish I had another set of books in the house. Today's Wikipedia is much better. It covers thousands of other niche subjects that a limited set like F&W could ever possibly include. And extensive hyperlinks to see how topic-X-leads-to-topic-Y.
He might be the fall guy for this, perhaps he was ready to step down as Reddit CEO before the IPO and bring in some type who is amenable to Wall Street. The board will then "fire" Huffman to appease the users, but the decisions will not be reversed.
"When it became known that post edits were not saved but post deletions were saved, code was added to edit your post prior to deletion."
Agreed. It's the same for me, along with the value I place on my own comments :)

But the number of times I've combed over the Internet only to find myself in an obscure Reddit thread to find the most astounding of answers is astounding in and of itself.

I'd urge those considering to take additional time before making such a move.
Wouldn't a better program idea be to copy all your comments to another service?

btw is teddit.net a proxy of reddit?

For the medical data (not metadata) to be useful in models you usually need plenty of associated PII like dob, postcode area, etc. Overfit a model and it will act pretty much as a database lookup on your personal medical data. It needs to be regulated.

> Sorry, but read literally what you are claiming is totally acceptable and does not indicate that we shouldn't be using biofuels. You seem to be saying that biofuel generation including burning as fuel using a net positive amount of carbon. There is no reason it shouldn't. It is a viable strategy if it uses less than the fossil fuel alternative.

No, I'm saying it's of dubious climate benefit (compared to fossil fuels), and has outsized environmental externalities besides.

https://www.reuters.com/business/environment/us-corn-based-e...

Not to mention that your goal posts are so incredibly, unbelievably far from where the industry started. Corn-based ethanol was pitched as a bridge fuel to get us to cellulosic, and was supposed to have real, tangible environmental benefits. This also doesn't touch on the fact that the subsidies involved have distorted several climate-relevant markets, most importantly the consumer market for inefficient vehicles in the US. When gas prices go up, demand for inefficient vehicles goes down - US biofuels are giving inefficient cars a huge boost.

> I also believe that many types of impact on the environment (for example what you mentioned about topsoil and water quality) should be treated with much lower priority than the greenhouse effect.

In some cases I agree - see mining of minerals for batteries. It just happens to turn out that if you look at the whole system, biofuels are a scam from a climate perspective, as well as an environmental disaster in their own right.

> This is a matter of opinion though, and I do not live in an area which could be sacrificial in this sense.

I live in Iowa, one of the most modified ecosystems on the planet, and ground zero for biofuels.
Agreed, Python is designed for something other than functional programming, so a functional programming enthusiast would get better mileage out of something else. Even if you were to write all of your Python programs against the grain in a functional style, you'd still need to operate in a community of modules that don't provide referential transparency.

> what’s the upside of giving a FAANG your all vs resting and vesting?'

Granted, the economy is very different than it was 5 years ago, but my very senior role at a startup paid about $185k w/no bonus, and 0.1% equity. 50+ hour weeks were the norm. We were acquired and I got $0 for the stock, but I did a $300k bonus (paid in 3 tranches over 18 months). I felt like I'd hit the lottery!

A couple years later, I joined a FAANG that paid me $100k just to walk in the door. Total pay, including stock ranged between $750k and $850k. My work week was 40 hours and I had so many fringe benefits and in-office amenities that I could never use them all. The work itself was also completely unfulfilling. I made it a few years before returning to a startup.

Interesting. I've personally found those changes very annoying as well (I've never used the mobile app though), but I never even observed a glimpse of some sort of public lust for boycott after those changes.

From my perspective, this doesn't seem like a straw, but rather a rock, that broke the camel's back.
> On average, the city is paying $256 each day to house each migrant family, officials said last month, compared to the $136 to $188 per day it pays to provide shelter for other homeless New Yorkers.

This doesn't really seem that exorbitant to me? They are trying to rent out any accommodation they can find on very short notice, it's not surprising they have to pay more than it costs to run their own shelters.

On top of that, $256 is just an average hotel price in NYC. It sounds like they're paying average prices for below-average hotels in some cases, which sucks, but this isn't nearly as scandalous as I was expecting. And I don't think any of the rates in the article can really be considered "premium" in NYC.

Edit: It's $256 per migrant family, is that $136-188 figure for individuals? If so $256 starts to look like a bargain.
To add to the other comments, they have confirmed in the past they don’t keep track of history.

That could have changed, sure, but nothing indicates that is the case.

You could also go the GDPR route and request all your data be deleted, if you are subject to that. They would be forced to comply with that request.
My Lenovo Thinkpad X1 has a specific setting that allows it to charge off a lower power that you can access through a setting in windows.
They do hand tracking, you can hold joycons controllers and use those only for haptics.

Or just... hold whatever: flipflops, water bottles, red bull cans if you need to feel of holding something

Edit:
Holding iphone and apple watch also is an option - both give access to haptic sensor. If someone doesn't have apple watch most likely have some old iphone in the drawer
The second part of OP's post maybe, but not the first part about needing to place the device outside to set the ambient baseline. They basically can't measure at all without that.

My Aranet4 was more like 1000 ppm off before putting it outside for awhile, despite being labeled as calibrated from the factory. It was going absolutely ballistic thinking my apartment was full of smog. After sitting outside to get a taste of ambient air, suddenly the inside of my apartment was fine.
Well, we have had to go to war because of the Nazis in the past, so it's not like there isn't precedent, sorry to say.
That’s not how I read it. I have a fine social life outside work, but when my wife heads out every morning and I’m alone from roughly 8-6 every weekday, I feel exactly how that comment described.

It’s not that I don’t see friends and family outside those hours, it’s just that those hours constitute like half of the awake hours of my life, and the grind sucks when I do it alone.
And without active users they are worthless.

Yeah, there's a weird schism there. I am considering now trolling the local thrift stores and antique malls for a complete encyclopedia set — but one perhaps from the 70's or 80's. I'll save a bundle and can go back to a world that frankly seemed a lot more optimistic.
> Why are El Paso or Brownsville expected to incur the negative externalities of people who illegally cross into the US without any comments/concerns from national media, but a tiny fraction of that number in a northern city suddenly elicits an outcry?

Given that the Texas state government is funded largely off of sales tax and property tax--and undocumented immigrants are ineligible for most social services--undocumented immigrants are a net positive to Texas' revenue.They are subject to sales tax whenever they buy things and pay landlords' property tax via rent. All while being unable to use most social programs.

The reason Texas and Florida's political stunts elicit an outcry because is because those states are kidnapping and trafficking people--who may or may not be in the country legally--to make a political spectacle. People are commenting on the political spectacle that Abbott and DeSantis are knowingly and willingly creating.
Being sarcastic is my fault, but understanding the opposite of what the article intends is your fault. I was talking about hiring to increase slack, not to increase throughput.
Pretty sure taking the subreddit private as a form of protest is an unintended abuse of "delegated responsibility", and they can take that back at any time. Which is what they are considering anyway if gp is to be believed.
It's pretty common to define "higher-order" functions in functional programming.
These will sometimes be applied to code blocks.

For example, Python's with statement could have been entirely programmed as a library function if lambas supported code blocks:

with(open("file.txt"), lambda f:
content = f.read()
return sum(int(c) for c in content.split(" "))
)

Functional languages usually have a pretty limited "core" and implement most of their features through their standard library, usually using higher-order functions, overloaded operators ...
That's... kind of dumb? What's wrong with lurking if you don't have much to say on a topic, but want to observe?
A lawyer is certainly at fault if they do not fact check the material they present at trial. But the conmen who are selling ChatGPT and the like are extremely irresponsible for the way they sell LLMs as magical AI that arrives at factually correct answers by reasoning rather than the consequence of the law of large numbers applied to stochastic text generation.
That comparison is wrong too though, the importance isn’t the “things” it’s the experiences and use cases those things provide.

VR headsets provide “large scale 2D experiences” and “immersive 3D experiences”. The resolutions on all VR headsets means for the first it’s objectively worse in a lot of ways, namely fidelity and detail. I agree the second one is a new experience and use case (I really like VR and have two different headsets I use regularly), but the only actual new thing is the “3D” part. People find plenty of other stuff immersive. Heck books provide that for a lot of people. That 3D part just isn’t enough, you can ask all of my friends and family that have tried my Index, said “wow that’s really cool” and then never buy a headset themselves.

ChatGPT provides a bunch of new use cases with regard to chat, text editing/manipulation/analysis, and knowledge recall/generation while also being significantly better and faster than Google with regard to finding answers or information. Meanwhile AI image generation has completely changed art and image creation to a ridiculous degree. I have friends and family asking me how concerned they should be about AI taking their jobs in fields as varied as writing, art/design, law, and medicine.

I do think in the future VR could reach the point where it’s that revolutionary, I just don’t feel like the two compare well now. VR is currently more like those old chatbots mentioned.

I understand your perspective, and respectfully disagree. The reason HIPAA exists is because of a long history of the abuse of people's medical records. Companies should not have access to my records without my explicit informed consent. They have shown time and time again that they can't be trusted with sensitive data. That's at least equally true for tech companies.
I know that you probably meant Google (the search engine), but Google (the company) is already in your medical data: https://cloud.google.com/healthcare

There are multiple solutions. This is one of them. Another one would be a bring your own api key and as a user be able to pay. Another one would be to serve ads in the feed for 3rd party api access and make it mandatory thay ads are not filtered out. Yet another one is to work w/ the 3rd party apps to display the ads.

Reddit is just a dumb corpo that doesn't understand why they have success. Watch them backpedal hard.
> With nearly 500 to 600 people arriving in the city each day in some recent weeks, officials have been increasingly desperate to find suitable shelters.

Unless they're building 500 new housing units per day in NYC, this is going to have highly, highly inflationary effects on housing costs in the long-term. Great if you're already a landlord; terrible if otherwise.
I agree. People will be hurt by this. I always hate when I find the thing I need in google but when I open the page the forum was closed or the post was removed.

At what opportunity and environmental cost? For what we spend, we get increased reliance on subsidized fuel instead of investing in renewables, all while fucking our water quality and destroying fisheries in the gulf. There are much better ways to decrease our reliance on foreign oil - starting with reducing the demand for it through better MPG standards and investing in clean energy and transportation infrastructure.
It's about 5%. Not much variation by sub, even the technical ones are in that range, maybe a few % higher.
He very clearly is being sarcastic, because he knows the 20 million claim is bullshit. He's basically friendly teasing them because if it really WERE that high, then buying Apollo for 10 million might be a good idea, but it isn't and it's all bullshit, so he knew they wouldn't. That's why he says "It's mostly just a joke"
In my experience, Lisbon really is the worst case scenario of gentrification and tourism gone absolutely wrong. A fair amount of Portuguese are profiting from it, but I can imagine how much of a burden it is for the ones who don't.
Wouldn't airplane outlets just limit how much watts come out? I'm not an electrical engineer, I don't know much about these things, but I'd assume they have protection built-in to just cap out instead of blow a fuse if something draws too much power.
That does assume that reddit actually updates the comment entry in their backend instead of keeping histories of the edits which I'm not sure we've had any insight into.
Google's entire process is opaque and open to dodgy behaviour. I had an app which was growing really well with about 5-10k downloads a day growing at about 20% a week and an average rating of 4.8 stars over a few thousand reviews. Suddenly this is tanking overnight and when we look into the data, we have twice as many new uninstalls per day as we do downloads a day. Next to no uninstalls from existing users, no change in the ratings, and no technical outages. It looked like a bot farm was just installing and immediately (as in less than a minute later) uninstalling the app over and over again. Google decided that this meant the app was bad, and we went from position 2-5 for our main keywords to not even in the top 50 overnight. I tried appealing, and tried getting information, but Google did absolutely nothing about it.
> I don't understand audacity of people who are trying to dictate to real estate owners what they can and can't do with their property

I don't understand this argument. If you live in the middle of a desert or if you own an entire building in the suburbs, sure, do what you want, that's what it's allowed in those places.
But if you own a flat in the middle of a very densely populated city, with rules, where even buying a home is regulated and taxed because society wants that, then this argument doesn't hold. You literally can't do what you want with your property. In Europe at least we have regional building regulations, town taxes to pay for garbage we produce, natural disasters dictating how things are built, and we even have specific rules for each building where your flat is located in. For example in my flat I can't have BBQs on the balcony where other people might do their laundry, or I can't smoke in the elevator, etc, etc... basic rules and compromises for basic societal well-being. It's very far from being able to do whatever we want.
Excellent thank you, I don't use the verge as a source of information, and am surprised how common they have become.

Surprising that Reddits communication on their own platform is so bad, or maybe it's not...

Thank you for the update!
People are saying that open access to everyone's medical records would speed up research, but that's not how well-controlled and well-designed medical research works in practice. For example, if you wanted to study lung cancer causes and treatment efficacy, just mining public data would not be that beneficial. Real studies need controls, detailed patient histories, actual observational lab work (blood tests, etc.), and so on.

What this data would be used in practice? Insurance corporations would use it to identify people at greater risk of diseases and to deny them coverage (or make it difficult to obtain coverage, remove them from coverage, etc.) in order to increase their profit margins.

Now, you could have useful anonymized public databases, for example, imagine if everyone got regular monitoriing of body burden of heavy metals and industrial and agricultural organic chemicals, and that was cross-referenced to their incidence of cancer, liver disease, etc. This could reveal common associations between specific pollutants and various diseases that could then be studied in more detail. Similarly, this could be applied to pharmaceutical products (which sometimes do more harm than good to their users)

Of course, that kind of public health-centric database would open up corporations to liability and cause profit loss, which is why such body-burden assessments of pollutants are not part of your normal medical checkup.
Presumably every street address or verified taxpayer is in ?
One thing that's been eye opening for me as I've gone up the levels is how much different the work styles are between IC and Leadership. The divide gets even bigger at larger companies.

* ICs need time to think deeply. They're tasked with getting all of the details correct. Details take a lot of time, mental load, and effort. They're exhausting in the moment. It's hard to do "just one more task" after you've already worked deeply all day.

* Leaders are tasked with shaping direction of teams. They spend a lot of time reviewing and guiding "the details", but generally can't get into the weeds. They carry on-going mental burden of _everything_ that's important to the company, but can generally delegate the details to other people. Since they don't spend all day dealing with the details, it doesn't feel painful for them to "tackle a few more things".

It's kind of like the tortoise and hare.. ICs sprint, sprint, sprint. Leaders walk. They probably cover the same ground mentally, but most people are much better equipped to walk 10k miles per day than sprint 10k, 100m at a time.

It's incredibly hard to overcome that daily lived experience. Most leaders are going to be at least 5+ years separated from the daily IC grind. They've had other goals, other mental loads, other stresses for 5+ years and simply cannot remember what it's like to be an IC anymore.
Sure, but companies doing that also wouldn’t be paying Reddit for that data.

The point of shredding comments isn’t to hurt the companies scraping the data (although that might be a nice side effect). Ultimately it’s to hurt Reddit.
