Who said hiding titles not currently available is a dead click?

Personally I prefer knowing right away if a title is available or not from the search page instead of thinking I might be able to get it right away only to find out when I get into it that its not available. So yeah, I prefer to hide those under the advanced search instead of having a search result with hundreds of items of which only a dozen or so are actually consumable immediately. It was super annoying having to wade through tons of results which I couldn't even access anyways, and its not like requesting it would make it available in minutes.

Imagine searching a store front for some item like a shirt. You get thousands of results, practically every shirt ever made. In the old app, you have to step into each individual result to see if its actually for sale or not or you can click a button and maybe someday they might consider stocking it for you. Is this not a dead click?

Which one is more of a dead click, going into an item page expecting to access it but not being able to access it, or just not seeing it in the default view? In the end the result is the same, the user couldn't just hop into the book.

If dead clicks are to be avoided, the Libby is miles ahead of Overdrive. I've had many hundreds more dead clicks in Overdrive than I had in Libby, and I've used Libby way more than Overdrive.

Have you actually used these platforms? If not, are you really going to tell someone who actually uses these platforms every day what their experience is actually like while you've never used it?
I already get pop ups from my insurance company (a major one I might add) that FF is not a supported browser when I log into their website. I assume that one day I'll be told to use Edge or Chrome and not allowed to log in at all.

I'm not a privacy fanatic and I don't really care if my browser supports proprietary DRM so that I'm able to watch shows on streaming platforms. However, I see a lot of potential for the remote attestation mechanism proposed by Google to give companies an easy way to enforce "We support this set of browsers on this set of operating systems" and effectively cut off support for Linux and browsers that aren't popular Chromium variants. That doesn't mean I can't go and switch companies but that requires a lot of effort on my part to do so.
Torpor is the wrong word. Full stop.

The FDA isn't merely a lazy, indifferent regulatory body suffering some sleepy malaise. The FDA is actively beholden to "special" interests and the decisions made by the FDA are a function of both these interests and its own mandate. Threading those needles is complex so processes at the FDA move slowly; it takes a lot coordination to safely and profitably answer to all the masters involved. "Safely," here, has nothing at all to do with medicine.

The correct word is "corruption," but using the correct word would immediately alienate the entire professional class to which Seliger hopes to appeal. Seliger understands this and has employed a friendlier word, implying nothing more terrifying than innocent dysfunction. Such is the lot of one that seeks to discuss the consequences of corruption with those that cannot tolerate the impuning of anything Government, with the possible exception of the DOD.
I wouldn’t label Google/Android as GNU/Linux. Neither MacOS as UNIX. Nor ChromeOS as GNU/Linux. Why? Linux is the shorthand for GNU/Linux.

SteamOS is actually Archlinux which is a mere Linux. Archlinux can be considered as clean sheet Linux, they avoid patching and modifications if possible. So probably even the FSF people would accept it as GNU/Linux?

Even more. The SteamDeck is using a X86_64 CPU and RDNA2 GPU. No hidden firmware locks. So it is an IBM-PC. It counts therefore 100% as Linux. I would even say 120% because it comes pre-installed.
> This is simply what post-peer-review looks like.

Peer review was never a substitute for replication in the first place. In this sense we've been "post-peer-review" the entire time.
I had 6 of these per day. Now all of them get blocked by:

MRI machines will get much better/cheaper. They use superconductors already, but are very hard and expensive to keep at their super-cold operating temperature.
Highly doubt they sell at a loss unless you unlock the features. You are paying for the seat warmers whether you get to use them or not.
$300M is a big fine, but if they are saying this scam ring made over 500m calls did they really make anything close to this much? It would seem surprising to me if you could make anything close to $0.60/call with cold calling even if there are whales it just seems like a stunt number.
How can I trust they even bothered to actually track down real experts when they didn't bother figuring out basic facts?

And they act like Overdrive was free while Libby is charging, but Overdrive wasn't free before. There's no actual breakdown of the total costs of these two platforms, just some vague trust us its more expensive. Which I can't really trust a blog post of rumors without hard facts when the things I can check as hard facts are downright wrong!
Looks much more mathematics than the kinds of things you find in an IQ test.
I'm moving from prisma and knex to kysely. Excellent typescript support, especially with kysely-codegen. All that's still needed is better transaction support.
Not my experience. It’s often removed by unlicensed handy men who don’t have any training or much awareness and who will tell you candidly that they think it’s not really dangerous anyway. At least that’s been my experience as a renter here in the bay area.
just because the embedded computer on your fridge can run doom, doesn't make your fridge a console. Same reasoning with the steam deck - just because you can access the linux desktop underneath, doesn't mean the device was designed with that use case in mind.
Even were we to destroy all oil refineries and coal mines today via an organized bombing campaign it would not be enough.
You just have to be registered / approved with the DEA — most labs are and can freely order phosphorus and almost other chemicals with no further burden. Seems like Varda didn’t have any prior use for restricted chemicals so they hadn’t registered yet, a not uncommon situation that will be quickly resolved for their next attempts I’m sure.
If I get too upset about it, I can find a cloud provider who isn't trying to find ways to nickel and dime me.

I've been out of a PhD for 6 months or so with no job in sight, and would like to get into more creative stuff, but I don't see how that's possible without spending an unforeseeable long amount of time without any salary. How did you do?
Ask HN: What is the easiest way to get a PhD?
Lets assume I don't care about the ethics of the matter for a moment.

What would be the easiest way for me to get a PhD?

By easiest, I mean a combination of least amount of effort, time and money.

The subject hardly matters, all I need to do is find a hack to have a piece of "official" paper that allow me to add PhD as a title.

For the sake of the exercise, lets assume I live in Western Europe, so the title is somewhat regulated so I can't just go by it online from a diploma mill.
I meant x86 as in 32-bit Intel, as opposed to x64 or x86-64 or AMD64 or whatever you want to call it.

Catalina ended support for 32-bit binaries even on Intel Macs, and Rosetta2 could never run 32-bit code.
Awesome, does victoria work with grafana?
There is a market for these things. But that market the big companies making them does not seem to understand. They keep doing these big splashy expensive things that most people do not want but some do. So instead of small launches with iteration into good things they come out swinging. Overspend like crazy then the thing looks like a total disaster. All of these companies want hockey stick curves on sales and are totally unsatisfied with small trial runs.
> The WIN32 is Linux's most stable API.

It's funny because it's true. Valve took advantage of Microsoft API stability guarantees and executed with an overnight success 10 years in the making.

It's actually a great thing, too. You build a game once and it's more stable than any distro packaging could ever make it be.
You can also look at this the other way. Most people don't value the fog lights, so the very few owners pay the cost to install fog lights in every car because it is cheaper than creating a separate production line. So you are "cheating" the system by taking advantage of that hardware without sharing the cost of it.
I’d rather see them force technical measures that fix the problem than just issuing fines.
We had a toaster oven when my kids were growing up (US). When we we visited London, they enjoyed the museums, etc., but what really excited them was the rental flat's pop-up toaster, "just like Wallace and Gromit!".
> China has no incentive to invest into moderation more than absolutely required by laws

This is no different to any other Western-based social networks? None of them have any incentive to go beyond the bare minimum, especially considering bordeline/offensive/etc content actually generates the most engagement.

The problem is that we just don't have strong enough legislation to discourage harmful content - because back in the day, nobody thought to legislate against it because nobody thought it would be profitable to actually host & encourage production of various harmful/fake/divisive content at scale.

Revoking section 230 protection from any platform that uses opaque algorithms to promote content to increase "engagement" would solve this problem. It would offer them a choice of either being a common carrier, sorting all content by some primitive metric such as user's explicit preferences or chronological timeline (thus no way to promote harmful content that happens to be more profitable), or become an editor in which they can algorithmically choose the content they promote but then they become liable for it (thus forcing them to moderate very well).
Cryptography: It's a niche field, not everyone offers a position in this area, but having a good grasp of the mathematics behind common cryptography techniques is a highly employable skill. Understanding quantum-safe algorithms is a huge plus.

Cryptographers tend to be one of two types: Those that create new algorithms and those that attack existing ones. The industry has positions for both kinds, it is up to your personal taste as to which appeals more.
Pretty cool, but also pretty unplayable (mainly due to the high speed of the snake) :D
Are any HNers involved in environmental orgs?

There are a bunch active in my area, but the most organized seems to be Citizens Climate Lobby. (my metric for 'most organized' is that 'they actually reached out to me personally, as in a human emailed me when I registered') CCL's main platform is advocating for a carbon tax and their main activity is arranging meetings with Congresspeople (both Ds and Rs) to drum up support. It seems like a good organization, if a bit on the moderate side.

I haven't actually joined up with CCL or anybody else yet, so please don't view this as a stealth attempt at advertising haha. Just looking at what's out there and trying to overcome anxiety. I can find a million reasons to do nothing...
It doesn't look like there's a restriction. The content is publicly available to anyone.
I was in your situation 20 years ago, as a postdoc in Theoretical Physics. My advice is to contribute to some known Open Source project, so that you have some provable programming skills when entering the job market. In my case I contributed to Python, not by coding, but by writing various articles on advanced features of the language and an essay on the Method Resolution Order that at the time was new and undocumented. Guido van Rossum in person put that essay on the official Python site. Having something like that in your CV helps when looking for an IT job. Nowadays I would probably contribute to Julia, you need something that shows promises but it is not mainstream yet to make a good impression.
A lot of people may not like regulation, but that excludes the issue of robocallers and spam marketers. People on both political spectrums support regulation here. The problem is that existing regulation is ignored and not being enforced
> it means their money goes into the pockets of people who operate (and own) such storage places.

This is thinking too much within system. I don't know why you should need to keep frozen meat to get those resources

There are alternatives (and more egalitarian and less useless) to the existing system of mostly unbounded inheritance.
A 2% reduction in insolation is consistent with solar cycle variations. Aerosols are not the way to do it because they are not reversible, but a shield at L1 is.
And 90% of the time I see young people together they're all on their phones. There's an arms race to prove who cares less about the person in front of you, by checking your phone, and we're all winning.
Not go all conspiracy, but isn’t that also pretty much the playbook you’d run if you were trying to discredit it, to get as much of a jump on the rest of the world as possible? The Chinese government is not exactly known for playing fair.
That's a small essay from a place of questionable bias making some assumptions based on partial statistics and partial statements with no stated backing.

I might have missed it but i also can't see any kind of review (peer or otherwise).
> why begrudge anyone for offering a product or service that someone wanted at a price both parties considered fair?

Because in the context of our quite dysfunctional laws around copyright, competition, DRM etc., this isn't a remotely adequate description of what's going on?
I was at my local credit union and the lady behind the counter was asking about the money I was moving around. It was a significant amount. She apologized and said "I'm sorry but we have to ask these questions, once in a while we get some folks moving money who are being scammed." In her situation they stopped some nice older folks from "bailing out their granddaughter", of course it wasn't their granddaughter it was a scammer.

Dealing with my father-in-law's financials we found some odd "donations" to groups we never could identify, not a lot so it wasn't worth investigating further, but we also couldn't find any trace of some of these orgs either. I assume some were scammers. Thankfully we got his finances arranged so everything had to be approved later in life.
Android does not count because it's userspace is completely different and in practice it cannot be modified or easily run on different hardware. Same for Chrome OS.

SteamOS on the other hand is an actual GNU/Linux distribution that can be installed in any machine and any improvements that Steam does, e.g. to 3d drivers or hardware support, will benefit the entire desktop Linux ecosystem.
How do they collect it if there are no assets to seize?
Yeah, that's why I said this is an unpopular opinion.

Historical records tell us that energy consumption is a great indicator of civilization advancement, but so is territory. Now, the problem is that there is no further territory to acquire for us as we have pretty much exploited our planet to its bones.

Free cheap energy will just make the planet crumble under our weight.
Because they’re using very old methods. We have much more modern ways to paint metal that aren’t being used. They could use electrostatic painting and finish the thing in a day if they really wanted.

It was never anywhere close to 100% in my experience (Italy).
This is so true for me. I was with too many people before marrying my wife (a few weeks ago). The decision to get married was really difficult for me, I had to force myself, because I knew that I could sit around just dating different people forever. She has had 0 partners before me and it was the easiest decision in the world for her. If I could go back in time I would do it differently, I would pick a partner earlier and not worry so much about being with different people. I dated some amazing people that would have made incredible lifelong partners, but never married them because I "wasn't ready", when in fact it would have been nice going through major life stages and events with one partner to share in the ups and downs.

I definitely did notice that the more people I was with the less interested I was becoming in actually settling down.
Sure, you're basically running the engine with a different tuning and you can't optimize for everything. Getting more peak power, or a broader power band out of an engine often means sacrificing smoothness in other parts of the power band.
The NAT position is long-parroted IPV6 zealotry.

These people saying "the idiots with NATs will turn them off to get things running", but think that "the idiot user" with firewall-only setups won't .... turn off the firewall as the first (and last) debugging step?

And the assumption that whatever ipv6 space assigned you/your device will be sufficient is ... optimistic. I can easily see some CGNAT thing giving a single ipv6 to your mobile device and you need to NAT on your end to do more fun things. It doesn't matter than ipv6 can address every atom in the universe. Sine lazy ISP is going to decide your endpoint a single atom.
to be short: most stuff didn't work because they cling to their ipv4 address.
Yeah, 21 and over in my country, and I almost exclusively go to alcohol theaters because it self selects into an older crowd willing to pay a premium.
> Fwiw, I set my phone on do not disturb for numbers not in my address book. That’s an easy way to not be bothered if that’s your jam (I just check messages if/when I want to).

And this is the cost of spam. There are people who may not be in your phonebook who are legitimately trying to call you about someone in your family being e.g. in hospital.

Yet this is completely absent your analysis on the ethics of cold calling.
My point partly is that as outside observers we can't deduce "is taking it chill" merely because we haven't seen two press releases and three tweetstorms from any particular lab yet. They might be slogging away but not caring to report every step on the path to the outside world.
... and an X-ray Diffractometer.

What is the point of making it if you can't prove that what you made is LK99?
The difference is that back in the day, harmful/disruptive behavior was merely "fun", where as nowadays it's actually profitable thanks to social media.

Back in the day people would grow out of it, now they have no incentive to if they actually gain money (from ads) or notoriety from doing it.
Steam Deck runs Steam in big picture mode, you can switch to a normal desktop with a menu option.
The Code of Hammurabi isn't what it seems at first glance. Modern people naïvely read it like a legal code, but that interpretation doesn't hold up to scrutiny. It contains too many inconsistencies to be a practical legal code. One of the more obvious examples is the case of property given to another for safekeeping without a document documenting the arrangement. Is the recipient a thief who should be put to death? Or can the recipient keep the property without consequence because the alleged owner has no proof of anything? Furthermore, records concerning disputes contemporary with the Code of Hammurabi exist. Other than a single reference to a standard wage for weavers on the stele, records do not reference the code. Indeed, legal decisions are often inconsistent with the code.

The Code of Hammurabi is best understood as royal propaganda designed to portray Hammurabi as a just king. The famous stele starts with a graphic depiction of him receiving the royal rod and ring from Shamash, the sun god who was emblematic of truth and justice. The laws are best understood as a statement of the kind of justice Hammurabi wished to see done in his kingdom, not a set of rules.
Seven years ago I got a taxi in Las Vegas to go from the airport to my hotel. The whole ride had ads blaring from the radio and the backseat area was filled with display ads. I’ve never taken a taxi since then. What you describe will be a thing in the U.S. if self driving becomes a thing. We already can’t get gas without being bombarded with ads. To me this fact is the main reason I hope to get an electric car someday.

Do it at a university with low standards. The time and money requirements will be similar, effort required will be lower.

$250 is a ton of money outside ”the west” (I assume you mean US/Europe/Aus). It’s roughly the minimum wage in Brazil.
Oh, I suppose it can and has been done well enough that we can now see the shape of our doom. The denialist argument for a long time seemed to be that impeccably accurate models are impossible and thus no model should be used for any predictive purposes, and therefore we didn't need to take any action. The game may still be technically going on, but I'm fairly sure their side has already locked in their "win" and the outcome is now certain.
As a housepainter, this is probably the best reasoning and where my mind immediately jumped to. The prep work in painting is as you said the majority of the work -- many many many hours spent first slowly destroying something further, then bringing a surface back to the state where, finally, you get to make it all one solid color of protection, once again.

Generally the largest difference in a homeowner painted themselves vs a professional painter -- the amount of prep work required can be astronomical and absolutely mind numbing but without it, one will never end up with the final very nice and long(er) lasting result.

Once again, you get back what you put in!
As someone perpetually thrown off by Libby's UI it'd be awesome to learn more about that. Is it a blog post anywhere or just inside knowledge?
Scheme exists in various forms and standards. There are small educational definitions and implementations which provide most SRFIs and thus have all features of CL and more. https://srfi.schemers.org

At its core Scheme is procedural, imperation and functional. Common Lisp is also "object-oriented" in its core.

Me, too. I’ve noticed a weird trend. Voicemail that is 20 seconds of silence. I can hear the sound of breathing. No hello or anything. Once I picked up and got the same thing. I even said “I can hear you breathing” and got the hang up after 20 seconds. They’re all from different numbers so I don’t think I have a stalker.
I’ve been there, too. I don’t feel like writing much here, but drop me an email if you feel like it (it’s on my profile).
