The problem is that capitalism drives people to push lies as fact, and manipulate people into believing those lies. "Well maybe people just shouldn't be so gullible" clearly isn't a solution, or the problem would be solved already.

I don't think that's an excuse to start banning books (and other media), but products like this -- especially anything that advocates a particular approach to health, nutrition, or medicine -- should be vetted by actual experts (more than one), and stores should be required to post disclaimers when the product doesn't pass muster.

Yes, there's the potential for abuse and shady dealings there, but I'd like to believe that the end result would still be better than what we have now.

Now, some people are just raised to believe in complete nonsense, so you're not going to save everyone by trying to educate them. But I think it'd help many people not get drawn in by (potentially dangerous) pseudoscience.
Okay, so if this global conspiracy is about maintaining control of the world through the supply of oil, thus they are suppressing cold fusion, why have they allowed solar power and wind power to exist? Or battery storage technology, or electric cars?
I suppose that my ISP has some really great backbone service in my area, then, because dropouts and "peak hours" mean nothing to me.
It's sad that the current assumption is that we have no power to change ourselves or our world. We're not machines, we are human beings, agents; we control what we do.
> Magnetic force scales as 1/r^3, not 1/r^2 like gravity

The magnetic force and gravity are two of the four fundamental forces, no? The others being the strong and weak nuclear force? At what rate do those two scale at?
To me, this doesn’t really look like the little sample is trying to levitate. It looks like it’s trying to rotate, almost like it’s trying to line up with the magnetic field.

Magnetic dipoles in a magnetic field experience a torque, and if a little sliver of stuff experiences a torque trying to make it point a particular direction, this could easily overcome the force pulling it toward the magnet.

(The torque on a dipole is proportional to the applied field. The force is proportional to the gradient of the field. And the experimenters seem to be using a pretty big flat magnet or a big solenoid, close to the center, which is likely to have a fairly spatially constant field near the surface.)

I’m reminded of once holding a bar magnet in a small plasma testbed electromagnet. Small = a few feet long and maybe 2 feet across. (The big one across the room was about the size of a semi truck IIRC.). I naively expected the magnet to be pulled in toward the center. Nope, not so much, but it tried quite hard to twist itself in my hands.
I feel like this introduces the potential for weird and hard-to-implement side channel attacks, if the sequences in a batch can affect the routing of others.
Other hormones don't get the same treatment. I'm not sure why only melatonin is treated as a dietary supplement when the other hormones are not.

For example, you can't get testosterone or epinephrine, over the counter. Maybe the only other hormones that are as readily available as melatonin are birth control pills, but those are considered pharmaceuticals, and regulated as such.
The reason this particular article was submitted was to dig at Twitter/X/Musk, no?

> Is that even a goal?

The people pushing for Mastodon seem to have been co-opted by the anti-Twitter/Musk crowd. To them, it does appear to be a goal.
>It's still hard for me to wrap my head around the fact that we teach people to multiply matrices with pencil and paper[1], but not how to find a life partner and start a family.

Algebra 100 years ago was nearly the exact same. Maybe we teach it differently but the concepts are the same.

As you mention, what people want and find okay in a relationship varies quickly and is individualistic as well as societal. 100 years ago most of the world didn't care if you married your first cousin, how well would that advice age in the 2000's? You may even find that advice that your parents used that got them married is completely useless for you, advice as recent as a generational gap.

There isn't a good way for a school system to teach these things. Just the basic health aspects such as sex as a mechanic and healthy living (food, hygiene, exercise, disease, etc). Everything else is up to you.

It is difficult to explain why, but there is actually a positive case to be made for dynamic typing. Their benefits are real but a lot less immediately apparent than the benefits of static typing. I think this article from Eric Normand captured some of it https://ericnormand.me/article/clojure-and-types. In my opinion languages like TypeScript where the type system is only a verification system and has no effect on the runtime, combined with its emphasis on structural types, existence of union/intersection types, etc, go a long way towards reducing the downsides of static types but not completely.
It's not a memory issue- it's an attention issue. I'm on the other spectrum from you- I have clinically diagnosed terrible memory. I write and read a lot to compensate. If you are writing something down- things are getting lost to your team because they are not taking the time to read and process what you wrote.

I'm also finding that the best path forward is to pair frequently- because a lot of people just don't read. Also, it's important to note that with writing things down for people, referencing is just as important as the content. If something is written in a slack conversation- they are unlikely to go searching back months for it- when they could just ask you again! When something is documented in a structured and easily memorable manner however...
His consulting clients are either fishers or construction companies doing invasive environmental construction work. Which clients aren’t a massive conflict of interest? Is it surprising that he finds no issue with current fishing practices when many industry players are paying his bills? Isn’t there a saying, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it”?
Perhaps never is a bit extreme here? You make a good point but if it's all you've got and you haven't been drinking it isn't going to hurt you. It's got a normal dose of acetaminophen last I checked.

This is all assuming it isn't being used for some kind of chronic sleep issue.
LibGen and SciHub are absolutely utopian projects, and are more reminiscent of the "old internet" than anything offered by any major platform today: Practical, no frills, no pandering, no "gamification." It's nice that there are still places on the internet where you can be treated as an adult.
It can not be. Unless you think that transport agencies suddenly figured out how to make everything work for half the price. The government just subsidizes the losses. That is the explicit plan, profit is not intended to happen.
The Chromebook death date is absurd in general. I bought my mom one a while ago and then she had to basically get rid of it when it was perfectly fine.
> I too have colleagues who reflexively ask for a meeting in response to any email longer than a few lines, even though the issue is clearly communicated and obviously requires someone to read it and build a proper response.

I have spent many of these calls effectively just reading what I wrote in the email in the first place. Complete waste of my time.

The mission of OSI and the mission of Creative Commons are related, but that doesn't mean that the OSI should do everything that Creative Commons has done.

The overlap in mission between the OSI and Creative Commons is the "approved for free cultural works" label [1]. This came about during collaborations between the members of the Free and Open Source Software community and Creative Commons leadership in 2006. [2]

Software licenses with restrictions are nothing new or novel. From my perspective, "accepting" them isn't staying ahead, it's stepping backwards on a mission that has been a quarter century in the making.

What are the implications of this, assuming it's true? I'm ignoring the controversy over Chinese scientific paper publishing. Aside from a fidget spinner, how would near-ambient superconducting magnetic levitation impact me?

Ramda was a hellhole I hope never to use again. We spent a year trying to learn it, finding it unreadable every time we went back to it (originally added by an outside contractor). Eventually we decided to give up, ripped it all out in a week and went back to lodash and never had an issue again.

Ramda code was just impossible to read and made every 5-min job take hours or days... not worth it, no matter the ideology.
You’re not incorrect, the Deutschland ticket is mostly for local transports. But you can travel through Germany using only RE, it’s way slower than via ICE and requires lot of changes but that’s definitely feasible. It’s a quite nice way to explore the country if you do multiple halts.
Add corruption to that. PG&E was insolvent (liabilities >> assets) and required a bailout from the state (because nobody would pay more than zero dollars for the company).

That the state didn't simply take the assets and indemnify the previous owners for the liabilities (thus turning it into a giant "municipal" power company) speaks to corruption in CPUC and the state in general.
It's not a bad comparison for their purposes, which is to look at two major tech companies who are trying to get their employees to sleep at work. I agree it's not identical, but it's valid in terms of common themes being discussed in tech, like lack of work-life balance and worker exploitation.
Can confirm, my parents bought me a Chromebook off of Amazon, and looking at the ChromeOS version, it apparently was out of support for a year. We had to return it, along with all of the three other Chromebooks my parents bought, due to defects on all of them (scratched screen, dead battery, etc.)
Management doesn't care about your perfect code. You won't get rewarded either.
Code quality isnt that important if you check this code "once a year" and dont have time pressure to change somewhere in there. Or if you are seeing this code daily and know all the quirks.
I can confirm the spread of this disease in southern Rhode Island. My 1.5 acre lot has a magnificent stand of several very large beech trees and a number of smaller ones -- perhaps 50 trees in all. Beginning in 2022, all of them have been affected by this disease. The canopy in that area is effectively gone.
(Hi, I’m one of the authors of the article at the root of this thread.)

Considering your hypothetical stateless microservice change in the same root module as stateful services, problems arise when _someone else_ has merged changes that concern the stateful services, leaving you little room to apply your changes individually.

It’s also worth remembering that, even if a stateless service and a stateful service are managed in the same root module, applying changes is absolutely not atomic. Applying tightly coupled changes to two services “at the same time” is likely to result in brief service interruptions, even if everything returns to normal as soon as the whole changeset is applied.
I bought a reconditioned Lenovo Chromebook for my parents last Christmas, and I kid you not that black plastic sheets had been applied to conceal the scratches on the case.

Of course, the software was entirely out of support when I brought the device up and logged in.

Avoid used Chromebooks at all costs.
Eh, CO2 is a pretty low energy molecule so doing anything with it usually takes energy input. I'd believe in a ton of other wacky sci-fi ideas turning into reality before that one.

That said, I'm hopeful we could use cheap energy (e.g. the sun) to do something useful with carbon in the air, like plants do. See Running Tide as an example, they're trying to sequester carbon in a completely hands-off way using no added energy input other than the sun.
When the majority of the population in a democratic nation routinely and intentionally violates a law, the more relevant question should be "what's wrong with the law?"
Yeah, and? That gives them the right to put down anyone who likes working in an office by calling them an anti-social loser?

Every decision has consequences.

Anybody who thought “covid remote crap would never end” is either way more optimistic or way more pessimistic than I am.
Yes, I can see why you might make this argument. [1]

Right, because paypal, spacex, and tesla have a track record of being complete failures. So the "foaming at the mouth" is warranted.

Twitter is kind of a mess, but not the same kind of project I think. It is ultimately unfixable to a large degree.
This isn't "Nature's position". This is a freelance science writer's position, and they paid him for the article. Nature wouldn't even weigh in with a real editorial opinion at this point.

I'm not sure what you find unusable but i'm using Window Maker at 2560x1440 (i assume that is what you mean with 2K) perfectly fine[0].

Though note that the overwhelming majority of monitors out there isn't 2K or greater but 1080p and 768p[1] :-P.

Effective use of group chat works well. The most effective remote teams, there are little conversations happening in the team Slack, often more than once per hour that can go for 5-10 minutes. Some people are bad at communicating over text but some people are also bad at communicating in person and in-person just biases for the latter, it's not inherently better. It can be helpful to hop on video but there's a ton of ways to communicate, often more effectively and less disruptively.
US demographics surveys typically lump the entirety of Europe (except Spain), most of Russia, and the middle east into "Non-Hispanic White". Iranians would definitely be marking themselves down as such. Occasionally you'll see one that has subdivisions of "White", typically splitting it up into Eastern and Western Europe, and Middle Eastern.
Yeah, anyway outside of the centre of London and even there outside of peak hours, and waiting in the street for a cab can be a long wait.
I thought the whole point of Chromebooks was that they were essentially thin clients for the web, or Google services in general. That they have such short expiry dates seems absurd.

iPads are supported for longer. (And at <$500, not much more expensive.)
Was it locked down enough that you couldn't replace the OS?
I see nothing wrong, stupid or edgy with the word enshittification. It's clever, sure, but in a good and fittingly crude way that still captures how much of modern tech and platforms, and so many other things get worse.

It's amusing that so many people who comment here are so bothered by this, while using absurd words like "orthogonal" to describe a concept for which simpler words exist. Just one example.
I distinctly remember the mindset of HN that the second comment linked describes, that Meta was doomed. Then many started cheering it on because they wanted Twitter to fail. Neither of which has happened so far.

I think HN users (myself included) have a blind spot for general social trends. We're technologists, not tastemakers.
Okay, first off, this is the comment you replied to:

>Why can't we just start putting the CEOs of robocall companies that break the law in jail?

I take it as a given because it was given in the premise.

Anyway, I read the settlement proposal. There was no trial because the company waived their right to it. Because they know they're getting a slap on the wrist compared to the potential fines they could face. They're getting told they got away with all the illegal acts they previously committed (and yes, some of those things are definitely illegal), as long as they stop it now.

Imagine if someone steals hundreds of TVs, gpus, and laptops, then when they finally get caught, the courts say "Naughty naughty. We're fining you 100 dollars, but you can keep everything you stole. Now don't do it again or we'll actually punish you". It's absurd.
I put it under "accept yourself". If you don't find yourself attractive, that will impact your ability to find attractiveness in others. Be it due to insecurity or bitterness.

I think one aspect is that we mix charisma with attractiveness. They correlate, but looking like a movie star is not the only way to have charisma. Simply the easiest. Yes, the easiest, compared to being funny, having interesting life stories, or being wildly successful. You can dedicate 2 years to looking attractive with consistent results. You can't dedicate 2 years and guarantee you make tons of money or that you can tell some good jokes.

Either way, if you don't accept yourself, change yourself to a way where you can. As RuPaul says:

>If you can't love yourself, how in the hell are you gonna love somebody else?
I have the complete opposite experience. Ramda is so much more consistent than lodash/fp.

I think your issue has more to due with functional programming in general than rambda vs lodash. It’s not for everyone but personally I really enjoy it.
You will take the drugs. And you will be happy.
Can you put a Linux distro on it?
Well, what are the risks and downsides of testosterone and epinephrine vs. melatonin?

Melatonin is so harmless I’m still not sure if it’s a placebo half the time I take it.
Then again, my circadian rhythm has been pretty broken since I was a child. Not only does my body drift toward a 28-hour day (20 awake, 8 asleep) if I'm not careful, but I tend not to get tired enough to sleep until 3am or 4am.

Melatonin supplements fix my circadian rhythm. I don't take it every night, but when I do, I get tired and fall asleep within 3-5 hours, sleep for a solid 8 or 9, and then feel pretty good for the next day. And if I take it again that night at the appropriate time, I can keep myself much closer to a 24-hour wake/sleep cycle.
It's in slightly better taste, and it's even arguably beneficial as an option if any employees actually want to do this, but I think ultimately it's the exact same sin: Normalizing the idea of sleeping at work. It's insidious.
Yeah, I started with AWS and then spent a year on GCP and next time I'd much rather do GCP. It felt much more manageable and supportive to me.
Not trying to hide anything. Ask any of my users and they would tell you Keygen is open source.

Not by OSI's definition, but by theirs. They can use it permissively, so it is to them.
You would think they would let the employees use the hotel for free? Am I that out of touch?
What about people visiting from out of town?
It's kind of dystopian. Then, I wouldn't mind working 12-14 hrs for 4 days and be done with the week, even if it means staying at a workplace "hotel".

I'm not sure that would be the intention here...
Yup however you wouldn't be here today if someone.in your ancestry didn't live through that - assuming your family is from that part of the world
Codespaces gives you a free upgrade
Google's expecting employees to be in 3 days a week. So if you need 2 nights at a hotel, thats $200/week * 52 weeks = $10k (minus some vacation time away). Not cheap but could really be much worse.

What a weird new attempt. The implication that some people just live at a hotel for the in-office part of their life is - still, I feel - like 20x better a quality of life than where we were pre-pandemic with commuting. But it's still bloody weird.

Maybe eventually some actual carrots arrive with this stick the companies are using. But unclear when or how that will happen, still.
"640K [of memory] ought to be enough for anyone."
Dunno about the US, but in Norway there a prescription version that's 2mg total in an extended release formulation. It's a fairly optimal dosage repeated throughout the night. It's technically meant for elderly people who can't stay asleep very well, but it's been pretty easy to get it off-label(doctors will basically be thrilled to be "drug-seeked" for just melatonin instead of benzos or Z-drugs for once, IME), and the price is reasonable, especially now there's a generic version.

Did absolute wonders for my overall sleep quality anyway. And I struggle with both insomnia and frequent awakenings.
