We had to change our privacy policy at work this week.

Simple reason was the EU/US Privacy Shield program came back into effect (to comply with GDPR), but it required slight changes to privacy policies (renaming Privacy Shield to something slightly different).

Any company participating in privacy shield will need to update their privacy policy if they haven't already.
... What? Spending 250 a week on a less interesting version of Instagram access is wild if you aren't "filthy rich". I'd argue it's wild either way but I'm not your parent.

Criticizing that is normal, your comment is very much not. Are you filthy rich and don't realize it?
I've really been looking for something like this as I'm constantly having to install apps that aren't popular here but are popular in other cities.

Grab, Ola and Lyft come to mind as being apps I only use when I'm in specific countries. You have your work cut out for you if you're wanting to support and maintain all these different integrations.

I'd MUCH rather there just be an open standard for this kind of thing and completely separate the app from the ride sharing service, but there's no incentive for companies to do that right now. It'd probably take a big push from the likes of Apple, Google or the EU to make it happen.

Best of luck with the app!
The over simplification here is that not all plants are equal and not all soils and/or climes can support all plants. So for soils or climes that can only really grow "weeds" that are inedible to humans, if you put them through an animal (specifically a ruminant), then it converts biomass that is inedible to edible for humans.

The effect of this on your diagrams is in diagram 2, with the intermediate farm animal, there are many situations in that scenario where the calories from those plants would be entirely lost, not simply rerouted losslessly to human consumption.
These would be nice contributions to rss bridge.
Small business owners fight against these things, while big corporations typically provide paid parental leave.

Something tells me that people, when they have to foot the bill, are not willing to pay others when they're not doing work.

Even in a place like The Netherlands, you only get paid for the first 9 out of 26 weeks of parental leave, and only 70% of your salary at that: https://business.gov.nl/regulation/leave-schemes/#:~:text=Em....

Aren't there audio ads injected of the free version of Spotify?

How can one sleep when those come up?

Or do they only inject ads between songs, so that if the song is long enough, the user will never hear any ads?
Not a world capital of the stuff exactly but, due to slow-rolled legalization, New York City is having a gray market boom right now - there's some sort of tacit 'they can't catch all of us at once' strategy going on, there's a bazillion illegal (yet formalized) cannabis vendors springing up all over the place into every available empty storefront. You can also find them at farmer's markets, concerts, outside movie theaters, etc.

Most of the gray market is just surplus California pot (it is the cheapest, after all) but if you go to one of the very few legal dispensaries in the city you can buy New York (State) grown cannabis which is pretty neat.
Ask HN: Australian devs how’s the job market at the moment?
I’m a dev in Australia looking for new gigs. Recruiters were absolutely hounding me 8 months to a year ago. Now it’s crickets.

Startups seem to be gone. Some bigger corporate gigs have been offered but it’s pretty quiet.

Is this the reality or am I just playing a bad hand at the moment?
Yes, but at the same time nobody exists in a vacuum, especially not small countries like Denmark in highly globalised economies. Collaboration on something like the Euro makes small countries more powerful and effective, and thus more sovereign, compared to adhering to some technical definition of sovereign and being all the more easy to ignore or manipulate by global and/or much larger economies.

For the small ones, cooperation bring power, it does not take it away.

I disagree with the OP big time. A single currency has benefits (ease of transactions across the globe, elimination of currency risk, etc) but it also has significant downsides, as we saw during the 2007+ financial crisis where countries like Greece couldn’t use monetary policy to help reduce the burden their economies were facing.

But saying that we should switch to a global currency does not mean one thinks different national currencies are the same. In fact, it very much implies the opposite, because then you already essentially have a global currency in all but name.
They're just talking about the type system. Yes the type system in Rust serves it's GC-free goals but you could copy paste the type system and build other languages with different goals.
Healthcare is terrible. It's mostly a scam with lots of propaganda and lack of perspective by British citizens. I'm not kidding. It's a system where the NHS will just push you forward and the insurance will cover fuck all and try to get you to the same NHS doctor.

It's the same nanny state style as some other European countries where they will try and sell you nothing over the counter because "you might abuse it" but they have a drinking and illegal drug culture to rival the best of them.

The US sucks if you're in the lower end of the spectrum without insurance but with insurance you actually get treatment. There's other countries where it's a pleasure to have private healthcare if you're middle class but many in europe definitely aren't. They'll just try to discourage you unless you're having an "my leg is detaching" type of emergency.

There's a reason why there's ads in the tube to "go to turkey to fix X health problem".

We should stop comparing having a health net for the jobless in a country with the US and typical quality of life/healthcare situation for a professional.

Edit: If I felt things worked, and people would eventually be able to afford houses and get into a better situation high taxes would be fine, but it's high taxes and policies that still benefit the richest/landlords/corporates/big pharma. It's corruption and classism. He former is widespread in many countries but the pretense otherwise is what is annoying.

> Americans don’t care about income inequality.

Let's say this is true. Logically then, one could make the point that people who are loudly proclaiming that the American worker is suffering because of income inequality (just look through this thread) are clearly out of touch with the average American worker and maybe even have a saviour complex with a touch self-righteousness.

IDK if it is universal but once I hit 20s I gained weight rapidly despite eating same. Most of my friends gained weight too. Obviously puberty ends and metabolism drops but I feel like for me it's on the drastic end. For me to stay lean and not skinny fat means either eating not the tastiest food like lots of vegetables or being in the state of slight hunger for the rest of my life.

It feels like there is a pick 2 situation between lean body, being full of energy and being satisfied by food
It's a requirement that contracts you enter into are provided to you in a way that you can store them on a durable medium. Maybe it's a good idea to make use of that and store your copy, if you want to know what changed
The body will metabolize the extra calories _for some time_, but eventually it will run out of coping mechanisms and it will give up, resulting in going up to 350lbs

That's why kids who grow up eating unhealthy can look healthy for a while, but eventually they look like their parents. And once the body is out of buffer, any extra calory goes straight into storage

I looked at themes for 11ty.dev and astro and find that most distract from the actual content and focus too much on "boilerplate design". The examples for astro are mostly the standard corporate-stuff-nice-slogans-but-no-content - if I see such websites, I usually close tabs immediately.

mkdocs, on the other hand, is made with a 100% focus on content, which is why I selected mkdocs for my blog. But different users will have different needs and there are many different blog types out there, so :thumbsup:

It wouldn't, but insects are a promising source of animal protein with less environmental impact than other forms of livestock. There are many plant and fungus based sources as well, of course, and in general there is an obesity epidemic and we can easily reduce the amount of protein we eat without having to replace it with anything.

Right wing propaganda then turns that into "they want to force you to eat bugs".
That's why any amount of "processed" is bad. In doubt, cook from scratch. Anything that comes wrapped up is suspicious

This has me thinking but I don't like to assume. I recall most of my first computers really not having any dedicated fans until around 1999 - they mostly used the power supply to pull an airflow through cases.

I do miss some of the sounds that let you know machines were doing something - but we also had indication lights, too - mostly gone now, for disk drives. Heck my first laptop had a second LCD to show battery level without the machine even being on.

Steve Blank's Secret History of Silicon Valley [0] is worth reading, an in-depth introduction to the crucial contributions to the development of semiconductor during the Cold War made by secret military projects.

Edit: I do not understand the downvotes. This blog series was once submitted to Hacker News with 188 upvotes, 48 comments, and a largely positive response [1]. The topic is well-researched by Steve Blank to allow him making a presentation at the Computer History Museum. Recognizing the roles played by military projects in semiconductor history does not imply that the military-industrial complex is the greatest blessing of humanity ever, just like recognizing the scientific contributions of Manhattan Project to nuclear science does not mean that a nuclear war is great to have. To the contrary, one is free to criticize the uncomfortable violence behind today's technology that is not often discussed, like many authors did in recent years.

There is a reasoning fallacy that bugs me.

Just because one part of a system is really old does not mean that system is not a good system.

If floppy disks worked for the strategic arms boys, good for them.

I have seen a school tear out PCs in 24GB of RAM and 500GB SSDs (this was in 2016) because they also had PS/2 ports. (These were Dell Precision T3500 workstations.) They decided PS/2 ports were obsolete. They replaced the PCs with new PCs with processors that had slower benchmark scores than the old PCs and that only had 8 to 16 GB of RAM. At least they did not have the obsolete and unused PS/2 ports!

This same fallacy led General Motors to stop making the beloved full-size, rear-wheel-drive, V8 powered Caprice and the equally beloved S10 pickup. A few people poked fun at beloved and profitable products, so they had to go. This is the same fallacy, but I am not describing it correctly.

Getting rid of something functional, that may be the best product ever made for that specific application, because it has a feature or two that people make fun of, is absurd.

The great Chevrolet Caprice was criticized as a gas guzzler, but it got better mileage than the SUVs that replaced it. It was the most comfortable car in the road, which was a great boon for people with back problems who had to drive long distances. It was faster and more stable at high speeds than any tiny import sports car.

I wish we taught cost-benefit-analysis in elementary school. I wish people could see the way to judge a product line is whether it meets a need and therefore turns a profit.

I am tempted to publicly lament that it is illegal to hang MBAs and attorneys.

One of the thought provoking consequences of our progress with AI is how we are being forced to re-examine the philosophical underpinnings of “existence” as a being.

“I think, therefore I am” has been the gold standard for millennia, but is falling into a crisis in the face of thinking machines that are algorithmically incapable of an inherent sense of existence.

LLMs have demonstrated that symbolic intelligence is a product of a vast corpus of symbolically represented memetic data. It can be taught to and interpreted by both biological and digital neural networks, and it enables us to reason about the world. Much of what we understand as being human lies within this cultural-linguistic framework of data, so it is unnerving to watch a machine parse this data with a similar facility as a person.

Despite their uncanny ability to access and express the memetic code of human culture, LLMs are merely windows into human intelligence, devoid of an existence or a self outside of symbolic manipulation.

On the other hand, we experience a state of “being” that is impulsive and emotional in character, that can exist without the use of symbols or tokens. In this framework we can experience pain, pleasure, desires, needs, happiness, and distress. We have no reason to expect that this experience exists within a large language model, and we can derive that this is the critical feature of sentience through the process of elimination now that we have evidence that “thinking” can exist outside of “being”.

Yet, we can see clear evidence of this experience in other animals, including insects.

Is it then, “I feel, therefore I am?”

This has extremely profound implications across the board that we have yet to touch on as a species.

One of the most obvious and far reaching of these implications is what it is to be human.

If we are to accept that a sense of being does not a human make, and neither does the ability to think in symbolic terms, then what?

Are we -primarily- genetic in nature, or primarily memetic creatures?

Which is less human? A specimen of homo-sapiens with no access to the memetic code, or an LLM augmented dog that shares both our experience of existence and our culture?

What if it were an LLM enhanced honey bee?

We can easily presume that a lab gestated biological human, given access to culture is fully a human. What if they were gestated from fully synthesised germ cells? What if they were modified to include synthetic inference instead of biological inference, but maintained the biological sense of self? What if it was all digital?

We have a new tool to differentiate the human experience, and it is going to change humanity in ways we have not even imagined yet.

I don’t see how one can read this article in that way.

Relevant quotes:

“Lab-grown structures with the potential to develop into fetuses should be defined — and regulated — as embryos, some researchers say.”

“biologist Nicolas Rivron at the Institute of Molecular Biotechnology in Vienna and his colleagues suggest a new definition of human embryos that would include embryo models if they acquire the potential to develop into a fetus.”

To me it seems the current definition for the purpose of laws protecting some clumps of cells is “clump of cells created from natural processes that can become a fetus”, and want to extend the definition to include lab-grown clumps of cells that can become a fetus.

I think a consequence of that could eventually be that what grows out of such a clump will be considered human, limiting what one can do with them. For example using them for replacement organs would not be OK.
