My wife was recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia and the doctor explained it exactly this way. It literally just means "nerve pain". There were no markers for rheumatoid arthritis so they just give it a label that is essentially just a placeholder. They can only treat symptoms anyway so it doesn't matter. I've got narcolepsy which was identified decades ago, but the mechanism was only isolated about 20 years ago and there's no direct treatment. Only ways to reduce symptoms. My condition definitely originates in the brain and can be treated with the same kind of CNS stimulants they give to people with depression or ADHD. So declaring a condition to be "in your head" isn't really synonymous with it being imaginary. For narcolepsy, most patients have a very explicit emotional trigger for symptoms. Emotions trigger neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter failure is the specific mechanism for causing the syndrome. So you can say it is most assuredly "psychosomatic" without that connotating it being some kind of emotional weakness. Your brain is part of your body. It controls thought, perception (including pain), emotion and literally every physical process beyond basic reflexes. Malfunctions in your brain can do all sorts of unpredictable things.

I was reflecting at lunch today on how grateful I am that we are at least trying to decarbonize.
All of this activity still seems fragile to me--Trump (or a similar Republican) could win and implement Project 2025, the geopolitical situation with China could deteriorate and we find that we can't produce things domestically and economically after all, etc. And it seems there is more momentum on
decarbonizing power and transportation than industry, chemicals, building and ag. Maybe a carbon tax and dividend could move things along on that front (it is interesting to contemplate the possibility of an old-style Republican winning the presidency, reading the room.
and going for a cabon tax--probably a fantasy, though). And maybe this is all too little, too late. But I'm glad we are trying.
I mean, at that point the system should go to the IT group and be fixed.

Gotta say, that's some pretty good real-life-to-quote abstraction. Fits nearly perfectly, but not in the way one would normally think.
> Trump is the least anti-abortion president from GOP.

Maybe personally and up until he started to run for 2024 maybe even rhetorically. But a lot of that is because other GOP politicians wanted the issue evergreen, as a perpetual carrot to dangle in front of the social conservative electorate.

Trump's the one taking victory laps for delivering on it via the people he put on the Court, and that's not something that just happened randomly or accidentally.
> Vast quantities of real estate are completely, or partially, valued as a store of value, due to its limited supply, and lower taxes for land owners who avoid developing the land vs. those that develop land (as development is taxed).
> Billionaires own fortunes in unused plots, empty homes & apartments, and vast sparsely undeveloped land expanses, left completely or mostly unused. Because without property on it, land is currently taxed very lightly.

Presumably the taxes on the land take into account the developable value or relative attractiveness of the land. So oceanfront land (developed or not) would be taxed higher than desert land.

Assuming this is correct, then isn’t there already an incentive by owners to develop the land and get the most value out of it? E.g. You don’t see many undeveloped lots in Manhattan just being held as an investment hedge by a billionaire.

And for billionaires holding vacant condos and houses all over the place, aren’t they already being hit with the friction that a land tax would create in that they pay tax as if it weren’t vacant?

Unless Georgism just boils down to increasing the friction of holding vacant land as an incentive to make use of the land? If Billionaires are willing to own houses all over the place that are vacant and still pay taxes I am not sure this solves the problem by increasing the taxes owing on vacant land.
Not every network supports that (and it’s sometimes off by quite a few seconds!), and not every place on earth has cell signal or Wi-Fi coverage.
There is no equivalent rule that says you must wear a fire extiguisher whenever you enter a building.

Therea are building codes the require smoke alarms EXIST in any living space, and other codes that say any business or facility providing public or employee access to a space must HAVE extinguishers and other features.

Those would be equivalent to the regulations that car manufacturers must include seatbelts and other features and meet various standards in order to sell their products to the public.

I didn't suggest or even remotely imply anything like those codes.
Oh it’s still a debate. IT would have it so you can’t install brew if they had their way.

Yes me too. Not an accidental irony, but a very shrewd one about attacking the root cause of resentment that stems from regional variations in development.

Because the aspects of NYC and LA that are being promoted on this thread as evidence of culture are the aspects I would define a their non-culture. As you say, there is a selective reinforcement of the character of the place via affinity in-migration (mostly just youth-culture btw), but to have a culture proper there must be an ethic or morality specific to that place. If you can't say "we don't do that sort of thing around here" and mean it only for that place, then there really is no culture there, imho. Growing up in NYC, my experience of neighborhoods were that they indeed had their unique cultures and it was largely a function of their unique demographics. But that sort of thing isn't what's being argued for on this thread. The happy presence of an Ethiopian restaurant here or an "authentic" Chinese restaurant there represents the values of an entirely different ethic -- one that is interchangeable whether you are in NYC or LA (or any other 1st world megalopolis). The ethic or morality of that definition of culture is entirely unspecific to place. It _is_ specific to a rootless urban managerial class (which is why that class is entirely supplantable across any of these supercities). The kind of insular cultural ethic that actually defines a "place" is anathema to these values and would be stamped out in "ethnic neighborhoods" if not for a kind of benign and patient condescension. (With the caveat that we still like to have a bit of "flavor" in the form of token representations of "other cultures".)
15 years ago when I joined workforce business intelligence was all the rage. Data world was pretty much straight forward. You had transactional data in OLTP databases which would be shipped to Operational data stores, then rolled into the data warehouse. Datawarehouses were actual specialised hardware appliances (netezza et al) reporting tools were robust too.

Everytime I moved from one org to another, these concepts of data warehouse somehow got muddled.
Agreed. "The goal is to get to the truth, the goal is not about winning arguments."

This is the best I've heard it put. People dismiss complaints about UI changes wity the argument that the UI isn't better, people are just used to the old, worse way of doing things. And when that's true, which it isn't usually but sometimes it is, what you said is of paramount importance.

New York Times gets the headline right: "New York City Bans TikTok on Government-Owned Devices" https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/16/technology/tiktok-ban-new...
Show HN: Can you go an hour without touching your phone?
According to a 2022 survey [1], the average US adult picks up their phone 352 times per day, or approximately once every 2m43s while they're awake. Inspired by Calm's DoNothingFor2Minutes.com which launched on HN 13 years ago [2], I made this simple webapp to see if my friends and I could go an hour without touching our phones. It is surprisingly difficult. If you're reading HN on your phone, definitely give it a shot.

On browsers that support it (iOS 16.4+, most versions of Android Chrome), it uses the Screen Wake Lock API [3] to keep the page open, and falls back to nosleep.js [4] otherwise. From testing on my iPhone 14 Pro Max running iOS 16.6, battery life only went down 3 or 4 percentage points after an hour with the wake lock.

Made this as a web app as a quick demo to be compatible across all mobile devices. As an app, we can probably save more on battery + not have the screen on. One caveat is that on iOS this will actually increase your Screen Time (although hopefully reduce your other category usage). I currently only track time on page through Google Analytics 4. No other calls are made to a server, although if we actually wanted to verify that you kept the page open vs. javascript/inspector-system clock-fu, we could add a verified mode that pings the server every X minutes. As a PWA, possibly due to an iOS/Mobile Safari quirk, neither wake lock nor nosleep.js appear to work .

The US military has the right idea with the "up or out" policy. Without it, high ranking positions would get clogged up with a bunch of officers who sit cozy far too long, become old and stagnate. Similarly, there aren't good, young candidates because most of the candidate pool is all old politicians who've been at it forever.
I didn't say the concept cannot exist: I said it's not at play here.

What gets a website censored, in the modern corporation-dominated Internet, is going against the interests and preferences of Big Tech owners - and nothing else. Nobody with any power is bound to look out for the public interest, however defined; ICANN is perhaps the only exception that comes to mind.

We can waste our time and attention debating over which targets were more or less deserving of censorship, based on our personal ideas of public interest. But as long as Big Tech is allowed to exist in its current form, we're like powerless peasants arguing about the decisions of kings.
I mean for SSL purposes, no that's not really needed that much. Micro seconds don't matter as certs typically expire on a monthly to yearly basis. And those that expire closer to monthly are typically updated on a regular basis.

I know here in New Zealand, especially anything tech has a "NZ tax" added, not a govt tax, just a saying here, meaning the price of living in NZ.
It's not uncommon for things to be double the price here compared to buying in the US and shipping here (accounting for all fees).

Recent example buying a Ubiquiti UniFi Lite 8-Port switch from B&H shipped to NZ, all fee's accounted for is $138NZD (82USD) cheaper then buying it local.

Someone is making bank somewhere in the supply chain.

People often say, well you live on an island in the middle of nowhere, that's the price you pay. But that doesn't check out if a company in the US can ship a single (not on sale, at RRP) item for way less. How can a wholesalers in NZ, who bulk ships it's here at wholesale rate, and cheap (bulk) shipping rate, then end up with a price so much higher at retail.
It's an entire app (with a chatbot UI) that takes away the technical legwork to run the model locally. It's a simple one line `docker compose up -d` on any machine, or one click install on umbrelOS home servers.

> > Tesla has been instrumental in the transition towards electric vehicles

Ah yes the thing that even if accomplished at 100% compliance at the global level (at the cost of trillions of dollars) would reduce warming by a paltry 0.003C or something.

> > In contrast, Exxon has entrenched the use of oil on a global scale. The company is part of a collection of organizations that have prioritized short-term profits over long-term environmental sustainability

Exxon is a descendant of Standard Oil, Inc. Founded in Cleveland in 1870. It's now 2023, muh short term 150 years, it's been an amazing ride of quality of life and human progress, I am here because of fossil fuels, and so are you, so you should be more respectful towards those who put the steak in your plate.

> > Exxon's history is closely linked to environmental degradation and harm.

8-fold increase in world population during Standard Oil/ Exxon existance, global GDP through the roof, avg. age at death jumping from 45 to 80, child mortality reduced from 25% to 0.5%. All this stuff also thanks to Exxon and fossil fuels but you don't mention it. What has Tesla done beside enriching wannabe techno dictator Musk?

> > they are contributing towards a future worth living in.

That is what Exxon 1870-2023 did. Tesla workers are enriching Musk via useless climate goals which are only propelled by a combination of virtue signaling politics and cult of personality and not grounded in reality, nor practicality.

> > because I witnessed what it takes in Iraq to acquire the oil used in vehicles actively contributing to the destruction of this world

We don't do that anymore thanks to fracking, made possible by the effort of many people, but guess who contributed the most, that's right. The good people over at Exxon Mobil.

You have to learn to separate the company from the executives. Executives at Exxon are sociopaths like all billionaires, but the company (and what they sell) are instrumental for our life as we know it.

If Exxon disappeared overnight you'd have civil war by the end of the month, if the same happened to Tesla you'd have the manbun and the big latte crowd throw a tantrum on twitter
Indeed, some of these things take months of work to complete, to expect a startup with a couple of people, working part time, to dedicate time to these is a startup death sentence.

And really, most of them don't provide security, they're a checklist. Checklists don't provide security, they provide (sort of) accountability.
Is it that the companies are so filthy rich that they're eager to eat up the risk of customer's recklessness, or is it that the current prices account for the items that get returned, and the cost of refunds is ultimately on the consumer?

I think the idea is that NTP is only supposed to work if your clock is close enough to correct, in order to prevent wackiness from ensuing due to sudden extreme jumps in the system time, presumably from a misconfiguration, compromised server, or whatever. I suppose you could just rely on an insecure NTP and force the date correction, but given that the default is not to do that and you have to force it, there’s probably some reason why you shouldn’t. So, if your goal is to get the accurate time over a secure connection, getting a “close enough” time over an insecure connection and confirming/adjusting the time over secure NTP doesn’t actually seem like the craziest way to do it.

I don’t really know why bootstrapping over HTTP then adjusting via secure NTP is better than bootstrapping via plaintext NTP then confirming with SSL enabled, but I guess it at least means two servers and protocols would have to be compromised.
Yeah. “We succeed and fail together” - unfortunately, unless this is true from a management and reward perspective, it can never be true at a team level. Additionally anything raised in a retro that contradicts a management edict will never see the light of day.

If your PM is appraised by Power Point quality or number of sprint points while engineers are managed by some other criteria, success and failure become asymmetrical and incentives clash.
Privacy and regulatory compliance are first and foremost before we publicly launch. We are having a discussion with a notable privacy scholar on joining us as an advisor. Any sharing of data will be optional, although hopefully some people will share (anonymously and encrypted) prompts, inputs, interactions, etc because it would be extremely useful for fine-tuning our model with collective and individual user data, in addition to sources of clinically validated data, to better help.

This is well put.

Mathematics is our candle in the darkness of our understanding, and the more math we know the brighter our candle flames.

But Mathematics is not a candle, it is the purest analogy we have ever encountered, and it enlightens our minds.

It gives us an appreciation of scale, and measurement thereof, that is unmatched, yielding deep insights into itself and everything else.

I just wish everyone learned number theory and geometry and algebra and physics and and and...

I just wish everyone would read the Road to Reality by Penrose.

Models are little stepping stones that are slippy and unsure, but we must use them to take further steps into the darkness of our ignorance.
Fixing computers with a broken batteries sounds just about as smart as

"Microsoft came up with an internet boot image that allows your computers to boot windows even if the hard drive is dead without users realizing this is the case"

Honestly, when the battery dies, it's time to take it to the shop.
That's trivial to work around. It would lead to wasted resources where developers push out no-op "updates" to keep from being stale, and in the case of a sale a condition of the sale would be that the original developer pushes out some benign updates prior to the sale closing (or the new owner would push a few benign updates until people stopped looking).

In other words it would cause more work for good developers and extension reviewers and grant no additional safety.
normally I give "open source" comments like this the label they deserve, which is "troll". however in this case it seems justified:

From page 26 of their whitepaper:

When a public file link is shared publicly, the following is embedded into the public link:

https://mega.nz/#! || Base64( File Handle ) || ! || Base64( Obfuscated File Key )

This is enough information to find the file identified by its File Handle on the server, then download it, verify the Condensed MAC of the overall file, unobfuscate the File Key, then decrypt the file using
the File Key and IV.

It should be noted that everything after an anchor hash (#) in the URL is not sent to the MEGA
servers and is kept locally in the client’s browser[0]

Didn't think of that. So I guess my idea isn't adding too much. Just a lot of compute without so much in return. It still simplifies moderating the files, however.
