I'm guessing the negative response was maybe because of the very negative tone.

Somebody submitted what they thought was an interesting link and the comment was dismissive to the point of hostility.

It probably didn't help that the suggestion for a better source of information was TikTok which - while actually having genuinely decent short explainers for all sorts of things - carries with it the stigma of drivel.

- Bouncing general knowledge questions off it

- Having "discussions" to interact with it in a Socratic style

- Giving some "personality" to automated services by calling it as an API

Japan's commercial maglev is not yet completed. All current Japanese high speed services are conventional rail. There is a small test track for maglev and an under-construction commercial maglev with no public completion date (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C5%AB%C5%8D_Shinkansen).
It's one of the reasons people were thinking this might not be a fraud.

Nobel prizes are capped to 3 people, and the speculation is that the rogue person published early to try and ensure they were one of the people that received it. No reason for infighting like that if you know it's a hoax.
> "very biggest"? Doesn't "biggest" already cover very?

"very biggest" is a common phrase. Maybe it's more British.

> "near"? Wouldn't "nearly" be more grammatically correct.

I don't know but that's also pretty common.

> "but that was before commercial whaling"? Wouldn't a more professional way of writing this be "until the advent of commercial whaling"

I think it's fine.

> This all sounds like a speech of a tour guide being made towards children not a scientific article in the BBC.

The BBC is a government media / propaganda organization, "scientific BBC article" doesn't have much gravitas.
Notably, the missing author from the second paper is the rogue employee who published the first paper. The order of the first two authors is the same for both papers.

There is also a commonly used sound effect of crowd cheering. I don't know what it is called, but it is used everywhere. I can't find is easily on YT, so my guess it is copyrighted.

First time I heard it was in the original Tony Hawk Pro Skater game, every time you did a neat trick, you'd hear the same crowd cheer clip. I thought it was really annoying (I must have been ~14 yo at the time). Later as I got older, I started to recognise the same clip everywhere, with the same effect as you describe (immediately snapping you out from suspension of disbelief).

It is also used a lot in 'live' audience reactions, such as talent shows, stand up comedy, sitcoms, etc.

I tried, but not every game works out of the box yet. Sometimes you need to do a lot of work to play a game on linux, on windows you just click "next" several times. Also, they don't provide linux launcher, you first have to find that you can indeed download those games manually, navigate to your library in a special way and then you can download something that might work.
> Of course there’s sex in a movie. Isn’t there always?

> > The answer, of course, is not anymore—at least not when it comes to modern blockbusters

In todays gender fluid world, holding back on details, creating more innuendo enables viewers to project their own thoughts into those plot voids when watching tv or film, and obviously it allows more plot twists in future story lines.

Look at the furore thats generated over the TV SciFi character Dr Who kissing companions.

Another way to look at previous tv and films, is, were they more conformist and thus dictatorial to the viewer and society in general?

> Kids watch terminator and adults love super heroes. But the principle target audiences are different.

So are you saying that terminator is filling in as a father figure in psychological terms?

I think people watch films for the entertainment value as well, not thinking too hard to what is going on, partly because there is alot of detail to take in, its a bit like reading a text book through one sitting, you dont take everything in, but what is taken in and then gossiped about face to face or online, becomes interesting because its meta data for what people think is important.

I watched parts of Silence of the Lambs again the other night, and the FBi Starling portrayal of Buffalo Bill, is arguably academic conformism. This time, I was left wondering how much his childhood messed him up, in particular authority figures, which I dont think gets too much focus in the popular press or law enforcement circles.

The scene with the senator using the persons name broadcast to the hostage takers, to "humanise" the victim, instead of making "it" an object, I think hides the objectification of academia, the law and the state on the populous.

tl;dr authority figures influence the cognitive process, reducing the ability of people to think for themselves, which might not be a good thing.

The point still stands, cultural and generational gap. You were born when USSR was still there (or maybe in USSR, if you’re unlucky), for Christ’s sake. Do you seriously think you can find any meaningful relationship with girl raised on Instagram and TikTok? As other comment pointed out - you’re not looking for a relationship, you’re looking for a trophy wife. Which is completely fine, but you need to be honest with yourself.

Also, if you think 28 age old can’t have 23 previous partners - you’re in deep trouble.

I wrote this a few years ago, but I feel like putting a dedicated IPv4 like 66.66.66.66 in the A record would inform the web browser or other software that the website is only reachable via IPv6, and a more informative error message could be displayed.

This would require a proper RFC of course, with support from IANA and web browsers.
The conductors of your ohmmeter are not that important, though. You can work around that by using four-terminal sensing, and you can of course also calibrate your probes by directly touching them together. Even if your ohmmeter conductors have a resistance of several ohm, you could still get an accurate measurement if your tool has a high enough resolution.

A bigger issue is going to be sample size. A 1mm-diameter 1mm-long rod of silver has a resistance of about 20 μΩ (or 2e-5) at room temperature. That's already getting tricky to measure with lab-grade equipment without pushing insane currents through it, let alone anything even smaller. If you want to measure a 1m-diameter 1m-long silver rod (which would be 0.02μΩ or 2e-8) you could just push a few thousand amps through it and reliably measure that using a household multimeter in the mV range - but do that with a small sample and it'll evaporate.

What do you mean by "weight alone"? Even BMI is kg/m^2 rather than just weight. Do you mean total body fat percentage isn't a metric of health, or BMI doesn't closely track BF%, or literally that weight isn't a good metric?

Sorry if this is nitpicky, but responding to the claim is difficult without defining it precisely. For example, see this figure from a study comparing BMI and BF% in Greece: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/BMI-versus-body-fat-perc.... You can see that BMI incorrectly says a lot of people are healthy when they're obese in terms of body fat, but if you don't agree that body fat is a metric of health then I'd first need to convince you of that.

Edit: I'll also note that in that figure you can see the number of people who are incorrectly labelled as obese by BMI but not by BF%, and it's much smaller than the other way round. BMI tends to make your population look healthier than it really is, whereas most people who say BMI is flawed are making the opposite argument.
You started the thread by asserting that "price is an indication of value" is correct.

I gave an counter example where someone ignorant of a thing's value (a guy who doesn't know they're selling an ultra rare stamp) sets it price to $1, wherea the market would gladly have paid 1000x times that.

You said, "It's value to you was $1".

When told it's not relevant, you said "there's no utility in saying something's value is $100 when nobody will give you $10 for it" which is about a different kind of value altogether.

While that's correct in itself, I pointed how that's not refuting my example, as my example covers exactly the reverse case: the situation where plenty would give you 10x or 1000x for what you sell at a price of $x. In other words, I gave an example where price is NOT an indication of value. That's what you had to refute.

You then backtracked to saying again: "It's value to you was $1".

In any case, value has specific meanings in economics, and neither of them is about "value to you [the seller]":

"Economic value is the measurement of the benefit derived from a good or service to an individual or a company. Economic value can also be the maximum price or amount of money that someone is willing to pay for a good or service. As a result, economic value can be higher than market value".

Nah, that's not how any of it works, you can stop fearmongering. Even if so, it's not lead but a material composed with lead atoms, just like how lead is used now in many alloys without danger. I don't understand the low key fearmongering.
I'm an ML engineer working for a geospatial company and I can assure you, we are looking into this.

> Satellite data is extremely idiosyncratic. It's coarse (~10m at best)
10m is the best free imagery, in the commercial domain it goes down to 30cm.

> Well, at least no one cares that will actually pay you.
There are plenty of things people will pay you for. But you gotta find those niches.

> In other words, this might be an interesting announcement for scientists, but it won't change the geospatial market at all.

Maybe, we'll definitely check if it can be fine-tuned on higher res data.
We do sometimes use Sentinel-2 (not a lot though), but can help with those cases.
> I know this is written like it's supposed to make us sympathetic

Not just that, it's written to establish a narrative that is disputed. A more accurate title would be, "Indian-American engineer alleges he was fired for speaking Hindi."

You see this a lot in news articles about lawsuits, where the plaintiff's claims are presented uncritically. But plaintiffs can allege anything! It's like the recent Subway lawsuit that alleged that the tuna wasn't actually fish. It's unbelievable on its face: you're saying that Subway has found a fake fish that actually fools people and they aren't monetizing _that_? But the headlines lead with the complaint and only sometimes will end with ",says lawsuit."
More important than the number is that the foundation actually pays the core developers. Python suffers from having almost exclusively volunteer work and those volunteers often are not interested in solving the problems of the foundation or community (eg: packaging etc.).

The most the PSF could do is “bolt on” a developer to solve packaging in yet another non embraced and supported way.

"Claim victory" is just something for dorks (myself included) to argue about on the internet. It doesn't matter to any one, in any way.

Linux "won" the server. Linux has not "won" the consumer desktop/laptop gaming market.

SteamOS is super interesting. Does it count as Linux? Yes and no? Depends on your goalpost! If I were shipping a game today I would 100% support SteamDeck and SteamOS. I'd maybe provide support via Win32 emulation, or maybe native. I'd probably stick to Win32 and only do native if needed for performance.

But I would 1000% NOT claim to support "Linux". I would support SteamDeck and that's it. If any user reported a bug or issue on other Linux distros then I would close the bug as "not supported". If it works, cool. If it doesn't, that's cool too. You're entirely on your own.

Supporting one Linux distro on one piece of hardware is pretty easy. Supporting all the Linux flavors on all possible hardware configurations is a bloody nightmare. And it's radically harder than supporting Windows across all hardware configurations. And it's definitely not worth it to increase sales by ~0.5% or so.

Take from that what you will.

I guess lacros is actually the easiest option. It's just a toggle in about:flags, but as said it gets notably laggy and sluggish when browsing. The upside is that it reduces the attack surface by allowing you to have an up to date browser for the foreseeable future, compared to just staying on 114 for as long as it still gives an acceptable browsing experience.

I still want to try and install Linux on it for fun some time, but I don't expect that to result in a much better browsing experience either.

Ask HN: Are tech jobs increasingly frustrating?
I have 14 years in the software industry. Six years ago I joined BigCorp and made some money, but after four years I felt that I didn't accomplish much in terms of actual work. So I left.

I've been on 3-4 interesting projects (about one per year, taking 2-3 months), and the rest has been grind, on-call or ever-shifting "priorities". Tech-wise, I struggled with Kubernetes because we took forever to adopt it, we had the wrong goals, used the wrong tools, lacked in enthusiasm, and then got stuck every step of the way. I learned Go on my own time, just to feel like I'm progressing.

Frustration piled up, and I left, so I could take care of my newborn daughter. I ended up staying home for 2 years, and it was the best decision I ever made.

Now, I'm back at it, doing Go development and Cloud-Native Platform work at a startup. It's been 6 months, and today I screamed at a wall of logs, because some YAML just refused to work, and there are no relevant logs. None.

In the 6 months that I've been here, I achieved nothing. I loathe my lack of progress. The reasons are the same as before: lack of direction, changing priorities, uninteresting work, tools unfit for the job, low-quality solutions, the works. But it's been 6 months! I should be able to create a new cluster on our preferred cloud provider, with tools that were supposed to work. But alas! they don't.

Meanwhile, I've applied for Engineering Management jobs, for a change of scenery; I've held lead roles before, so I thought this would be achievable. I was wrong. I got flat-out rejected for insignificant reasons, or not even invited for interviews. I suspect it has something to do with my 2-year break; people really seem to quickly smile past it, every time I mention it.

Now, I don't know what to do. Is this burn-out? Is this disillusionment? Are these frustrations, ever so real, increasing every day? More complexity, more hype bubbles, more solutions looking for problems to solve. Does it make sense to fret over this? Probably not. So I'll submit this, and close, and go off somewhere for the weekend.
Humans have divergent genes, it's just that there's no particular grouping to talk of. You can find that generally speaking people from Thailand are mostly lactose intolerant while people from India are mostly not, to take one example. But you don't find general correlations between more than samples of certain genetic features. We haven't been through selective breeding like dogs have. And the genetic diversity between humans as a whole is quite low, lower than for many other primates - presumably due to a population bottleneck before "out of Africa" even happened. Chimpanzees are much more diverse genetically than humans (https://academic.oup.com/gbe/article/13/11/evab247/6426081), ref. the common "two humans from across the globe are closer genetically than two chimps from the same forest".

We need to reduce world population.

Converging toward 12,000,000,000 is the tragedy of the commons.

Everything else is micro gains.
> I think due to its generalized nature there are exceptions where it doesn't even apply (like people who are weight training, pregnant women etc).

All models are false, some are useful. BMI is imperfect, but arguing we should ignore it because it has exceptions is like arguing we should ignore that the Earth is round because it isn't perfectly spherical. Looking at BMI alone is occasionally misleading, but it's a hell of a lot better than not looking at anything, which is the realistic alternative.

> So maybe it is the best that institutions can do to gauge the health of a population with the data given, but I think it could be improved drastically with extra metrics (I've heard of measurements around the body being used).

No-one has identified any such drastic improvements. Measuring body fat percentage gives you a small improvement over BMI alone, but it's hard to do at home and only really matters for people with very high muscle mass (who are most likely already using more advanced measurements than BMI alone).

Asbestos is still everywhere, but whenever it's found (at least where I live), it's red alert and specialist cleanup crews suit up and come in to dispose of it safely. Most countries banned its use, but I just read that Russia still mines and uses it in construction.
I know, it is not going to help you a bit, but I want to share how it works in Germany and many other European countries. I happen to sometimes consult on managerial stuff in pharmaceutical circles in Europe, but I'm not a medical professional by any stretch of imagination.

Anyhow, in Germany there is something loosely translated as "traditional remedies", which are basically phyto-pharmaceuticals known for generations. If they match a few criteria, esp. clinical efficacy (ie. empirical proof, this is not homeopathy we are talking about), those are written down in a "book of remedies". Once written down in this book, the remedy can be produced by anyone. Most of them may only be sold in pharmacies and sometimes they are so potent and dangerous that they require prescriptions (Colchicine is easy to overdose, but does not require a prescription). By virtue of being public, your pharmacist could mix them up (most do not do this anymore), or they can be produced as generics -- and they are.

This sometimes creates weird situations. For example, there is a common stomach remedy best known under the trademark name "Iberogast". The traditional remedy is a concoction of nine herbs and written down as such. Now, a few decades ago independent studies showed that three of these nine herbs are basically contra-effective and should be removed. Doing that, however, creates a new remedy, which is not recorded in the book and therefore may not be produced freely.

The main producer of Iberogast, Bayer, went to great length to create a new, improved formula, with clinical trials and all that jazz. Obviously, Bayer has the exclusive rights to this improved formula before it can be written into the book of remedies again. It is selling it under the name of "Iberogast Advanced". You probably should prefer this "advanced" version, but you can still go to your pharmacist and get a "classic" concoction mixed up, or buy one of the generics.
Also to consider is that it might be easier for Netflix to get away with a semi raunchy movie than it is for cinemas.

So we will likely see raunchy non-English movies made in Europe and which will have world wide audience. A current example is the Swedish 'Young Royals' which has been dubbed and subtitled in surprising many languages.

So cinemas end up with boring violence and Netflix ends up with everything else.
"Economic value is the measurement of the benefit derived from a good or service to an individual or a company. Economic value can also be the maximum price or amount of money that someone is willing to pay for a good or service. As a result, economic value can be higher than market value".

What price a seller sets for a product is based on neither of those cases.

It can be widely different from the actual market value the item could fetch (as per my example).

And it's also not the value the buyer gets ("the benefit derived from a good or service to an individual or a company"). Again in the example I gave this is many orders of magnitude bigger than the selling price.
Additionally, colorisations very commonly present themselves as showing a "more true" version of how things looked and not as creative art projects.

Ah; username.

In case you're not kidding though, no. A politician who pisses off big business in America loses even the support of their own party.

The media ignores them, smears them, then grinds them into dust to make an example of them. Their social media pages are de-ranked, and an army of bots highlights their weak points while attacking their strong points.

Their opponents in every election get funded just enough to win, however much that is; even elections against others in their own party.

And if they're still somehow successful after all that, there's other, darker things that can happen.
