Avoid completely? No, but you can limit exposure. Even if you were living in the 60s when everyone smoked in public/at work/on planes, it was still healthier to not smoke and sit in non-smoking sections where they existed.

In the case of plastics, filtering water helps. Even simple charcoal filters can catch a lot of it. Store your food in glass containers as opposed to plastic. Don't use non-stick cookware, some type of metal + fat works fine once you get a practiced technique. Use a stainless steel thermos, and minimize the amount of time hot liquid comes into contact with plastic components/containers. Heat breaks down plastics more easily and generally results in higher levels of contamination. Cold water passing through a plastic tube in your fridge is probably fine.

I didn't think it was illegitimate. I think the HN algorithm has began to stress newer posts to go the top page. I'm not sure if that's a bad thing or not. This could also mean that you can check HN every thirty minutes and see something completely different. I personally think this is a good thing.
my next article is likely about that :)
Slight nuance is that that partially explains the price difference, but I'm fairly sure that it's also largely due to just lacking economics of scale, unfortunately.

But they are paving the way, showing how things can be done, setting up the required tooling and documentation, and hopefully thereby influencing (legislation for) the big players to improve. In fact, that's my main justification for spending the money.
I’m not happy about timing either. I agree with you. I bought because my kids need something stable and home-like; I suspect in the longer term this will hurt me financially compared to other options. But renting here for an entire family is borderline impossible, and the places I might have had a chance at renting were dumps. I could choose between $5k per month to be sure we won’t face renoviction or ending leases (in a brand new home, too), or around $3750/month to live in a poorly maintained, inefficient, unstable rental situation.

I know it’s a huge difference. As a parent I’d almost be willing to pay even more, though. I can’t rely on someone not selling my home from underneath me and then needing to find something else when vacancies are well below 1%.

I’ll probably feel some pain from this purchase eventually, but I’m prepared. I can also keep in mind that the alternative downsides of renting were serious and constantly present, with no real upside. Rates are extremely high here.

The tldr seems to be that it's exceptionally quick and easy to apply for jobs, perhaps too quick and too easy, there's essentially no barrier to applying to any and every job advert seen given it apparently takes less than 10 minutes in the "worst" case.

I was led to believe you could; when I left the main instance, I downloaded my data and have been planning to try uploading it to my new one but have not yet done so. But that's whey they have an export and import page.

But your case is one of demonstrating the strength of Mastodon. If you don't like what Twitter is doing, your only choice is to leave. If you don't like what your instance is doing, you have any number of others to try out.

I'm not defending the server option or its use; I don't have to because it's Mastodon. You should likewise point out the problem in a more constructive way.

And if you find the format unreadable, perhaps you should work on a little code yourself to make a Mastodon Archive Reader app. Or perhaps... oh look, here's a few for you to try:

Social media traffic to top news sites craters
because you're taking the authors ridiculous claim and downgrading it to be reasonable instead of critiquing the original claim, all of this stemming from you taking a quote out of context to make a point that no one was making.

the slice of the quote you responded with:

> It would be extremely obvious [...]

and the full claim with full proper context:

> It would be [...] obvious if your searches were [...] egregiously converted.

the key word being "egregiously", which is a response to the level of severity the author is making in their claim. trying to be an enforcer of conversational tone by repeatedly claiming how responses that you don't want to engage in are "aggressive" isn't conducive to productive discussion. no one's being overtly hostile, outside of you trying to hijack a discussion to exclusively entertain a nonsequitor.
Averages aren’t really useful here. For a lot of people food and housing represent a significant proportion of their take home. In my region both of these are up significantly higher than 3.7 in the last twelve months. Worse is certain brands at the grocery store seem to be leading the charge, which means not only are prices going up, but for many people the utility per doller is also going down.
Punishment, deterrence for others, and deterrence for the individual themselves, are three important parts of why the state has consequences for bad deeds.

The US is pretty punishment-heavy. As a non-US person it even looks sadistic. It's "now I got you, you son of a bitch" social game from "Games People Play".

Since you're against "punishment as a whole", I assume you by "punishment" mean "I want them to suffer for what they did"?

Giving more than (say) 20 years to most 20-year-old murderer is no different from 120, from either deterrence perspective. When they're 40 they'll be a different person. 120 years of terrible prison conditions does not make anyone better off, compared to 20. Except for the victim's "sense of justice". But man, 20 years? No year more than that will bring your loved one back.

Anyway, I agree that we need both types of deterrence for SBF. Otherwise what's to stop people counting on getting "only" 10 years. Steal a billion dollars, hide it in cryptocurrencies, and when you get out of prison you're older, sure, but you are super rich.

We need deterrence from him doing it again. And we need deterrence for everyone like him, and everyone who would be remotely involved him people like him. People need to know that if you help this kind of scam, there are dire consequences. Which is why his parents should face the full weight of the harm they caused, to show that it will all be taken away.

But I don't see that as "punishment". Not in the way I think you mean it.

The bottom module has been out of stock for a while[1], and is also the part that's probably going to break first due to the amount of use it gets when charging daily. As someone who needs to put their FP3+ in _just_ the right position for it to charge, I'm very tempted to buy a new phone so I don't have to deal with the anxiety of wondering if it's properly charging when I go to bed.

Before anyone says: yes, I have cleaned the USB port out. Cutting a triangle off a credit card and using the corner worked the best in my experience.

I still would pay for the other "fair" aspects of the Fairphone, but until I can actually repair it I'm not going to consider it a repairable phone.

common core is not methods at all. Common core is only standards. Like be able to solve 3 digit addition. Or be able to estimate the the product of 3 digit numbers

The methods themselves can be any methods. I agree that the methods Ive seen associated with common core are designed to help people understand how the math works. Like why when you add fractions do you not just also add the denominator. However it is a tough balance between just memorizing how to do the problem and understanding why you do it a certain way.

The big push I see is word problems in lieu of worksheets. The huge issue is word problems take a long time and kids havent done enough worksheets to become fluent in the techniques. Teachers call worksheets drill and kill and want to "teach to the whole child".

The big problem is that people in education are simply not very smart. The education researchers are also not very smart. Ive seen data that shows that stem teachers are ok, but I dont think those are the majority of education academics.
Cruise gets a ton of positive press from being on the road compared to self-driven cars. There are no stories about a person buying a car and driving it around their city because it's not interesting or novel.

At some point it won't be news when driverless cars are involved in accidents but for now they are. Personally, I think the public should be informed about what a new technology is doing and capable of whether it's good or bad. Especially one that can kill people rather easily.
I wish I only had to work on 70 things in an entire year! Even better if I got to pick and choose which things I'd be working on. Now imagine if a whole chain of other people had already worked on all of those things before they even got to me, leaving me with all their notes and conclusions.

I'd have all the time in the world to accept bribes from billionaires and take fancy trips on their private jets and yachts too!
Thanks for the correction, I was unaware.

I believe this is one of the reasons why migrations become scary in many cases. If something goes wrong "the only path is forward". Also, rolling out new versions of the application means either breaking the previous versions (with some instances still running) or doing the migration in several steps.

We believe there is a better way, they way pgroll works, you can start a migration, and keep the old & new schemas working for as long as you need to rollout your app. If the new version of the app/schema doesn't behave as you were expecting, you only need to rollback the commit and undo the migration. pgroll guarantees that the previous version is still working during the whole process.

There is a graph in the readme depicting this concept:

This is a big one. Entire tax bases are effectively drying up because people aren't driving in or are moving away.

Not just income or payroll taxes, but also regular traffic simulating the local bars, cafes, gas stations & oil changers, dry cleaning, late night pizza, you name it. If these folks can't make their nut then they can't pay rent, and end up moving away or going out of business. Then the problem snowballs.

And then there are the other sources of cash, i.e. speeding tickets, parking fines, and jaywalking citations.

Arguably this is the 'invisible hand of the market' doing its thing, but it's hard to run a municipality if your year-by-year tax base could change dramatically.

You are against the concept of punishment as a whole? Or just for financial crimes?

I must admit I'm having trouble relating to the strong desire to have a phone that's more repairable than an iPhone.

There have been a couple times I've had a problem with my iPhone under AppleCare. I've gone to my nearest Apple Store, and pretty quickly walked out with a new iPhone that works perfectly and contains all my data and, for all practical purposes, is exactly as if my old one never broke. That seems pretty repairable to me, on the axes I care about.

It does mean I have to pay for AppleCare, but my guess is that on average you're not going to get away much more cheaply with years of use of a more "repairable" phone.

I'd be interested in seeing counterarguments. I'm not trying to dispute anyone's claims about repairability. I just honestly don't get it.

[Update: the main thing I'm getting from responses is that people care about their being low-cost, easily repairable phones for people who can't afford iPhones and Apple Care; the enthusiasm is empathy-based. That makes a lot of sense to me. I don't know of a source for actually comparing long-term costs, though. Are you sure the repairable phones are actually cheaper to own, long-term? Arguments about the environment make less sense to me since the broken phone is refurbished and used again. I asked, and I got useful answers. Thanks, HN!

I've gotten a lot of downvotes for this question, though, which mystifies me... why downvote an honest question? It seems unfriendly and uncharitable.]
There’s no US army in India, as opposed to Germany and other EU countries.

I saw a talk by researcher Kristian Lum a few years back that I think made this case far more effectively. Her point was somewhat limited to drug crimes, but she pointed out that if you look at medical data (where people tend to be fairly honest about their drug usage) pretty much everyone in the metro area under study (SF) used drugs, or at least drug use was equally prevalent in pretty much every geographical area and among all demographics. Therefore, when the cops went to a location to make drug arrests they typically succeeded, because it's not hard to find drug crimes in the Bay Area.

The problem was that they then used that arrest data to make decisions about where to perform future searches and arrests. Because they found drugs where they had looked previously, they looked there again and found more drugs. This creates a bad feedback loop where they were basically busting the same neighborhoods and demographics over and over again, despite the fact that drug crime was prevalent everywhere. In effect it was an insufficiently explorative learning strategy, just hitting the same lever over and over. Dr. Lum's point was that predictive policing software merely hides this dynamic under a layer of black-box ML crap. Because the training data is itself the result of this type of bad policing, the resulting model can only further engrain these practices, it can't offer truly novel solutions.

Crime and criminology is complicated, but at the end of the day not that complicated. On the whole people commit crime because they are desperate (for money, for drugs, etc.), occasionally because they have an anti-social personality disorder. Applying all these abstract epidemic/broken-windows type models which pretend like the root causes of crime are unknowable allows police to appear like they're operating efficiently, while at the same time just responding to the symptoms rather than facing the sickness itself. Until we actually look at why crime occurs (mainly because poor people need money badly, secondly because people in sufficiently dire poverty stop caring about the social norms of the middle class) we won't be able to make a meaningful difference.
> The advantage of IPFS is that it allows resources to remain accessible, e.g. if someone else cares enough to ho...

I think there is a key point here. This exactly is the reason why incentives markets built around IPFS are so relevant. They democratize the act of saying "I care about that data". Nowadays you need to be a poweruser to express this but with the world's content being more and more digital media this isn't the realm of the poweruser any more.

Everything about the Workday UX is an absolute freaking dumpster fire.

Just as an example, but one that trips me up a lot, every action seems to be controlled by an orange button (Submit?) way down in the lower right corner of your browser, even if the information you're working on is way up in the upper right corner.
I’m genuinely surprised “human drivers can't comprehend or anticipate a driverless car hitting the brakes for no apparent reason” is an argument people can relate to.

You absolutely should be expecting the driver in front to slam on the brakes at full force without warning. There’s an infinite number of things that could cause any driver - human or autonomous - to do this. If you drive without this expectation then you’re a very dangerous driver and I wouldn’t want to be anywhere near you on the road.
company trade secrets/pay per use. Book had an ancillary gripe about "nickle and diming" (americanism, think "death by 1000 financial papercuts). A subtext to the entire engagement is that everything is implicitly rented. Here's a non-spoiler quote which (if i recall the book correctly) occurs within the first chapter:

“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. "

^ That door, was "the main character's front door"

Both prosecutors and journalists tend to sum up the maximum sentence for each charge as though these are served serially, when in reality they're usually served in parallel. In this case I'd put the 95% confidence bracket at 12-20 years.
Yup, and you can fine-tune an LLM to be a specialized classifier with relatively little data compared to building a classifier from scratch. I think that's the biggest benefit to LLMs, the data required to show it a behavior is pretty minuscule in the scheme of things.
I had a hire car with a “push button” thing last week.

Push the button nothing happens

Read the manual

Press the clutch and push, stoop nothing

Then you have to push break, clutch and push the button. But you have to push the button for several seconds.

Same with the handbrake, it’s a button, sometimes on, sometimes off. Maybe it will stay on when you’re parked, who knows.

Give me a real key and real handbrake any day, that’s far simpler and gives me far more control.

It sounds like there should be a standard for compression of scientific data, probably as a noise ceiling instead of a compression ratio, if the noise is normally distributed (a big if). But if I had to choose, I would side with you and vote to use lossless in order to avoid a whole class of errors that might come from lossy compression. Especially when we can get a 1 TB SSD for under $50.

To play devil's advocate, I think there might be an opportunity for lossy compression of images below the Nyquist Rate of the microscope:

https://svi.nl/Nyquist-Calculator

I only bring this up because I worked with industrial cameras at a previous job and even the best lenses only got us to maybe 1/2 or 1/4 of the resolution that the sensors were capable of. Microscopes should probably include an effective resolution in each image file's metadata. If they don't, then we have no data on how noisy the image is, so this is all a moot point.
Of course in this sort of society no one is stealing gas in the first place, so the attendant has no reason to intervene.
I overheard a guy at the gym a couple of weeks back saying that he's automated (gpt4) the keyword-optimised CV/cover letter process to the point where he was able to apply to - I'm a bit suspect on this bit, but the generation at least is believable - 75 jobs in an hour and a half.

We've raised the noise floor significantly.

Ps. If you're here mate I hope it worked out for you.

We need to greatly improve consumer education around recycling best practices. We also need to add more regulatory pressure for businesses to comply (and probably eventually consumers too.)

Currently, in the United States at least, recycling rules can vary so widely based on locality. Sometimes, several authoritative sources disagree. There is therefore rampant and conflicting misinformation which adds to a sense of hopelessness and apathy.

All of this adds to increased chances of contamination, and lower profitability for recycling companies.
