I'm going to check that out. It certainly seems like he identified the heck out of our problem. Possibly our biggest problem in a sense, since it affects so many other things (our response to climate change, etc)

As much as people thought Limits to Growth was about
the 1970s in the 1970s, Limits to Growth predicted
things were likely to go to hell between 2020-2050,
maybe 2070 if we maximized our coping strategies.

I'll be interested to why he feels this is the particular half century where it all goes to hell.

It's not as if the problem of "technocrats vs. the will of the people" is exactly a new tension. When is the last time that a single common person could really understand everything required for society-level decision making? Back in days when we lived in small packs of hunter-gatherers, and pretty much everybody in the cave could use a spear and knew which berries were okay to eat?

That's not to say I doubt his conclusion.

> “Furthermore, we are dedicated to exploring potential therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring normal mitochondrial function to rectify the mitochondrial dysfunctions implicated in the disease.”

I can't help but feel excited. Breakthroughs in Parkinson's, breakthroughs in ME/CFS, breakthroughs in long covid. And the cool part? They all seem to follow similar hypotheses of mitochondrial dysfunction.

> I feel like a prime example was the Boosted boards.

I always thought this was more of a business side problem (they tried to expand pretty quick, including making a scooter) than a technical or product execution problem. If I remember correctly, Boosted's products were actually fairly highly regarded - while I've never had one, I had a friend that had the V2 and he seemed to enjoy it quite a lot. They also made a very nice and functional backpack which I wish was still available, honestly.

I think the Boosted products were a little bit ahead of their time. It was only during the pandemic, at least where I'm from, when PEVs really started becoming popular. One thing I really did appreciate about their products was that they appeared to be designed/engineered here and not overseas. Since they left the market, most other alternatives are just OEM products white labelled from overseas, and you tend to see less design elegance and purposeful vision unfortunately.

I honestly think the Onewheel company could have been the spiritual successor to Boosted, but it's sad to see that they haven't continued that tradition of being dedicated to building a good product and providing good support.
Psychedelics plus psychotherapy can trigger rapid changes in the brain
Ironically, much of the things that people are learning and experiencing with the FediVerse have straightforward precursors from FidoNet, such as: the idea of supporting one's local sysop; or the idea that not everyone uses the same off-line reader program, or BBS software; or the idea that it's important to know what country's laws apply to a node.

FidoNet at its height was tens of thousands of nodes, worldwide, with each node supporting userbase sizes ranging from the single digits to the triple. Discussions could and did span the planet.

And yes, there was all the same culture shock, then as now, for people coming from the worlds of BIX and CompuServe, where a business provided and regulated a single centralized system, to a world where tens of thousands of people worldwide supported a decentralized system, sometimes in their spare time and out of their own pockets, and one had to (gasp!) pick a sysop that one liked and trusted or go the whole hog and run a node onesself with no-more-complex-than-hobby-level software and equipment that was readily available.

You can be a both an ardent feminist and "gender-critical" to the point of being a transphobe, they overlap quite often, to my constant surprise.

>Rewind Pendant is a wearable that captures what you say and hear in the real world and then transcribes, encrypts, and stores it entirely locally on your phone

I would be really surprised if they really mean "No restrictive content moderation".

That's how you earn the reputation for producing CSAM.
But you don't just have their online status. You can still talk to people even if you're not in the same room. You can ask them questions about what they've tried and see if they're making any substantive progress from day to day. When they say the problem is difficult in the daily you can ask followup questions to see if they've really thought about the problem hard. If on day 4 all they can say is "it's difficult" then they are clearly not working very hard on trying to solve the problem. Once they finally do finish you can ask details about why it was so hard and judge for yourself whether it was genuinely a tricky problem or they were just slacking off.

These are all things you should do as the team lead or manager whether you are in person or remote.
... they're good enough.

I have an accent. If not for that, I'd be a great presenter.

If I could translate my voice into a poor Neil deGrasse Tyson, a poor Patrick Steward, a poor Carl Sagan, a poor Morgan Freeman, etc., my presentations would be... better.

It never was. But as a voter, it's what outside my window right now and what I understand.

If you want to make wholesale changes quickly, you probably need the support of voters.

Nobody put 240V center-tapped, 60 Hz AC residential electricity to the voters either, but if you wanted to change it, you're probably going to need a strategy and a communications campaign to explain why and how.

Very interesting company IMO although I haven't given it a shot.
in reality I think this flexibility is overrated. traveling for long periods of time sounds exciting but will eventually for most people be isolating (you won't materially be a part of the local community, and other travelers will leave) and logistically annoying (e.g. dealing with wifi at your 3rd airbnb). most companies have restrictions on this, and there are generally only limited places you can work from.

visiting family without concern about impact to work is nice, but eventually you just really want a consistent place where you can be productive

Honeybees aren't native to Europe or the Americas, they originated in Asia. In any habitat at all, keeping honeybees is actually adding some strain to local ecosystems. Honeybees are voracious nectar drinkers, once they're hit a habitat it can support fewer native bees, moths, butterflies, beetles, etc.

> What did you find questionable that was in addition to any overstatement of results?

Not one single thing, but many straws that finally broke the camels back, as it were.

The speed at which it was developed and made "mandatory", for one. The release from liability granted to all the produces of said vaccine, for two (which I would be more sympathetic if not for #1).

The laughable "100% effectiveness rate" that was touted and walked back rather sheepishly.

The equally laughable assertion that the common flu just "took a year off" in 2020 and every cough and sniffle was COVID.

The outright hostility to _reasonable_ skepticism (i.e. "this technology is relatively new and could have unintended side effects so we should study it more", not "Bill Gates is putting microchips into the syringes to track your children").

Hospitals and media / government types deliberately conflating deaths _from_ covid and deaths _with_ covid. (It's this specific example that makes me suspect the redefinition of "recession" as a political exercise).

The outright lies surrounding how vulnerable children were/are vs the elderly, the latter being FAR more vulnerable.

The idea that the virus was created and escaped from a lab in Wuhan that was a conspiracy theory, until it wasn't.

Politicians and elites clearly not practicing what they preach, be it the governor of a state going out to a fancy restaurant with their buddies, unmasked, during the height of the crisis or those who enriched themselves and their businesses on relief funds.

There are more but it's actually pretty depressing to list.

> And nobody wanted job losses, they just wanted people to try to fight the spread. Eventually enough spite built up, mostly against the people acting bad on purpose, but between a "make them lose their job" button and a "make them try (retroactively)" button I bet basically everyone you describe would have smacked the latter.

Could have fooled me based on public statements made by pro-lockdown politicians at the time. "Fight the spread" was repeated ad-nauseam by those pushing questionable methods that many people knew were suspect to be begin with, yet were castigated as "killing grandma", "anti-science", "rubes" and every other name in the book rather than taking their concerns seriously.
Most certainly real Macs spinning up a fresh VM for each Action (or whatever the smallest unit of work is that GH Actions has).
> You really think that Linux developers would know how to squeeze better performance out of Nvidia hardware than the Nvidia even with the design specs?

Yes. Even more importantly, they would be able to keep it stable alongside Mesa and Wayland/Xorg updates.

> Nvidia has the foremost experts in designing GPUs and software around it (Cuda).

And breaking up the company wouldn't make those people disappear! On the contrary, it would liberate their work. They would suddenly be free to start making CUDA compatible with AMDGPU! It would be wonderful.

Even if those people kept their work closed-source, just having an open hardware spec would do wonders for nouveau development. Last I checked, nouveau can't even set the GPU clock speed!

> Google doesn’t support its own phones as long as Apple. There is no excuse.

And that's my entire point! Google is bad at handling this responsibility, so let's take it off their hands! The reality is that Google doesn't want us to, because long term support is bad for their bottom-line!
Companies have always wanted hardcore workers. What they will always get is workers who are best at convincing the company how hardcore they are. If it means setting up my own domain, then dammit, I'll setup my own domain.

This is why you never base your hiring on anything but primary skills. Everything else is a toss up and better evaluated during the course of employment.

Meet has the sorta unique problem of using video encoding that most modern hardware doesn't accelerate, meaning the CPU ends up taking it. Zoom just uses the typical H.264.
It's deeply ironic that an article about dealing with text properly has images which are part of the article text and yet have no alt-text, rendering parts of the article unreadable in reader mode if the server is slow.
You're talking about mass surveillance of the population as if it were normal. We're sleep walking into a nightmarish dystopia one piece of tech at a time.
>I wonder how it works out for them when someone produces the recording that settles it for good.

Portable microcassette records have been around for many decades (and hitting record on a phone to capture audio is something anyone can do without taking the phone out of the pocket).

There's a reason you're wondering about how well this idea works.
She's not wrong though, is she. Having 'male women' in the demographic doesn't make the field any less male-dominated.

Unfortunately, it's common on HN for commenters here to see things primarily from a male viewpoint, and assume that female-centred perspectives are less valuable or less intelligent or even bigoted in some way. Please do keep an open mind when listening to women share their experiences and perspectives.

That depends on where you live. In some European countries for example it's perfectly legal to record for personal purposes without announcing it. Bear in mind the phrase "for personal purposes" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here, for example it's common that you can't use the recording in court if you haven't announced you're recording and since that would no longer be personal use.

Furthermore, if you accept that it's not really that much of a problem and a "Trust but Verify" type of situation, why bother given the risk of unequal/selective enforcement?

A lot of skills are not simple, but computers have taken over them anyways. For example, financial bookkeeping is not just writing and storing the books, it's a professional skill with many tricks to learn. However, databases and spreadsheets have taken the major part from those jobs. Same could be said about programmers who learned the skill of programming Assembly language. Or performing -- vinyl records and CDs has largely taken over orchestras and traveling musicians.

I would vote for it only if it somehow encouraged voice actors to experiment and create new interesting styles. Kinda like patents were designed to do -- encourage inventors (although recently it became controversial in IT world).
