Not sure how I feel about this, but I don't hate it, theoretically. I'm sure it's hopeless in practice. It might be a worthwhile experiment if nothing else. But a piece of legislation will never be an adequate substitute for good parenting.
That would be a mildly weird reaction to "I don't want to get involved in your dispute", in _most_ cases. (I think there are edge-cases where not wanting to get involved might in itself be taking a stand, but certainly for everyday disputes most people wouldn't take offence to "I don't want to get involved").

Feynman explained this nicely. He said essentially, you ask me to explain what is electmagnetism. Is it like two hands pushing on other? Well, if it is, then what is "pushing"? Pushing is just the result of electomagnetism in your hands! It is impossible explain electromagnetism to you in terms of anything simpler that you already understand. It is a fundamental force.

I am not sure I get the point of the article. It spends forever saying how Tolkien's world is "simple" as compared to reality (which is "infinitely complex and still growing"), and seems to conclude on "reality is too simple, we need to go to Mars if we want to add complexity to story-telling".

Then, to me, complaining about the world (as described) not being complex enough is a bit like complaining that "You see, there are tens of thousands of people in the books, participating to wars and all. But the story-telling is very simplistic because it only follows a handful of characters, instead of describing the life of everybody in the world".

I wouldn't want to read an encyclopedia listing millions of fictional people and what they do in their life.

I think Apple or Qualcomm must have done something about that exact use case in one of the last updates: It’s been a while since I’ve had to do that. My iPhone now finds the network in the station pretty consistently.

I wouldn’t even be surprised if they did something like using the accelerometer as an input to the baseband for triggering a quick network scan after a rapid deceleration when on a train without signal.

Or maybe newer networks are just more predictable for phones to reconnect to quickly without draining the battery?

Heaviside and his proponents avoided quaternion like a plague, and like a classic false messiah he somehow convinced people not to use it. If we want to easily and completely model the EM waves its entirety including polarization we need to embrace quaternion, there is no two ways about it.

I gotta disagree that PixiJS is fast. I’ve worked with a bunch of 2D graphics engines going back to the Flash days, and I found it’s really easy to hit a wall with PixiJS performance, especially if you are using text and filters. I wouldn’t have much issue with it if the cacheAsBitmap feature was reliable, but I found it buggy as heck and it didn’t help performance as much as you would expect. There is no way I would use PixiJS for a full screen game or mobile game.

Not true.

All that's needed is for open source developers to "re-implement Google’s proprietary Android user space apps and libraries".

In most cases, the apps themselves won't know or care if they are feeding data to Google or not. For those few that do care, you can usually find a suitable replacement that doesn't --- or just use the publisher's good old-fashioned web site (aka banks) with a privacy focused browser like Brave.

I'd like to see more science proving that social media is bad for kids before I see lawmakers enacting laws around the theory. That said, I think 16 is too high an age. Kids go into high school at ~13, so I think that would have been a more reasonable age to consider. The hard truth is that most kids don't seem to have access to "good parenting" by any reasonable standard, and parenting is hard with good parenting being harder (not an excuse).
Thank you! Will take a look at these. We mostly made this to solve something for ourselves and as a learning exercise, but hoping this may resonate with others too
I think if you view the pyramid as blocks you're being a bit simplistic.

All aspects of the pyramid are present at all levels, what the pyramid represents is what you have to free yourself of in order to truly and wholly endeavor in each stage.

You can act with self-transcendence even if you're starving, but you can't direct as much thought, time and energy towards it unless you cover the underlying needs.
> age restricting voting, driving, or alcohol and tobacco sales

I think those things are a bit more black and white.

How do you define social media? Is HN social media? You engage with others through comments, posts are ranked and it has voting elements as well as your profile has a gamified score for upvotes. Is a Disqus comment on any website social media if that's how we broadly define social media? Where do we draw the line?

You could make a case that leaving reviews on a site are a form of social media too. You can post something there and feel like you need to check back in hopes someone leaves a like or replies. If it were a wearable item you might take a picture of yourself and now hope people engage with it.
Discrete here means "non-continuous" - i.e. there is no smooth transition function between ideas/thoughts/rationalizations.

For example, a formal proof is a discrete process: it follows step-wise rules that you can assign natural numbers to (this is the first step, this is the second step, this is the third step). A non-discrete process, a continuous one, would have a smooth transition between these steps, which is hard to even imagine.

While I am not convinced it is correct to say that "human reasoning is discrete", human language is definitely discrete. Words don't blend smoothly into each other. If you don't believe me, try to define a function f:[0,1] -> Words, such that f(0) = "red" and f(1) = "blue" and tell me what is f(sqrt(2)/2), or what is df/dx.

A huge issue with used EVs is rebates.

A new Tesla starts at about $41k. In my state, state+federal rebates add up to over $10,000. So, a new Tesla is ~$31,000. Used cars don’t get rebates, so you’re highly incentivized to buy new.

That doesn’t make as large a difference as you might think. The Falcon Heavy is dramatically cheaper than the Falcon 9 per kg even though it’s the same company and very similar hardware. Rockets just scale really well.

Also, those missions needed a capsule not just the rocket and more importantly a great deal of R&D.

PS: April 2020 prices were due to drastic decreases in demand due to the pandemic not politics. Many current oil ‘wells’ ie oil sands lose money at even 60$/barrel therefore the market price needs to be higher than that or supply is reduced.
There is, but we need to throw away our outdated current programming model. Think Lisp or Smalltalk. There should not be a separation between program written in some language, operating system and shell [1].

You'd simply run:

CURL url: "https://example.com" method: 'post

in an interactive system, that can either represent your shell, or your application code. We need --libcurl because UNIX is not an interactive environment, so there is an enormous abyss between runtime and compile time.

(Syntax in this example from a Smalltalk-like environment I have been designing, should be understandable enough)

Well-executed RCAs are just so satisfying to me. Blameless culture is absolutely critical to getting to the "right answers".

Across the teams in my company, I hit nirvana when reviewing something like a major/impactful outage and the involved members in discussion are drilling down to the the essential state and sequence of events that caused said outage. Focus on actions and outcomes, including both those central/peripheral to the outage and those with zero knowledge prior to the event. It takes a high degree of trust in yourself, your peers, and your organization to get to nirvana.

Go through a few of these in a proper way, and a simple principle tends to emerge: if your mechanism is dependent on the perfection of humans, it will eventually fail. The only real discussion beyond that is basically what to do next -- do we need a mechanism that protects against human imperfections? Is the cost of implementing a solution worth the mechanism it would be designed to protect? Can we live with the infallibility of humans in this scenario?

Organizations that can achieve this level of discourse have a distinct advantage in execution.

But it's so fundamental to the design that it's inescapable. The history of Linux GUI is a series of heroic workarounds to hide the misaligned X underpinnings.

Software is in a very unique position. It can be attacked all the time with completely impunity.

Buildings are completely vulnerable even to simple hammer breaking windows, locks have been basically broken for decades

Food processor is easily vulnerable to poisoned potato.

Only the software has to take all attacks humans can come up with and withstand it.

What other industry has to deal with that? Maybe military, army camp in middle of enemy territory?

We have improved massively and will and should continue to do, but it's very different from other industries.

That's the core reason for breaches.

Some security checklist will help to filter most egregious idiots (especially upgrades from vulnerable versions).

That's really just an impression. First, you can use E2EE with other apps (e.g. Signal). But mostly, E2EE only secures the messages between the two devices, NOT on the devices. Apple, just like Google, basically owns your device. Whatever you can read on your screen, they can technically access, too.

Ever heard of Pegasus? Third parties can access smartphones with exploits like this, meaning that they just go around all the E2EE you can have.

> If the brain is not the seat of consciousness and the self is instead the result of some metaphysical process that's external to the body,

This seems backwards to me. It is the self that is the result of processes from the interaction between consciousness and the body (including the brain).

Analogy: the sea does not create the matter of the stone it hits against on the shore, that is already present. But it is the interaction between the sea and the rock that shapes the rock, and in doing so it can create a pattern that looks like a face.
> In a way that’s not s super surprising observation: obviously a world created through the work of a single author (or a few) will not be as complex as one created through the interaction of 8 billions of humans, plus billions of past humans, plus natural phenomena. Naïvely we might even expect a fictional world to be at least 8 billion times less complex than the real world, whatever that means. Maybe Tolkien got 0.000000000125% of the way there, and all other authors who tried got 0.0000000001% or less.

Definitely not as a substitute, but it might be something that helps push more parents to consider preventing their children from using social media. It’s much easier for a parent to explain to the child that the reason they’re not allowed to use it is because it’s illegal, instead of trying to explain how social media negatively affects their brains.
Children don't have the same standing with the constitution as adults. I don't remember the exact term but children have their rights restricted all the time. They do not have free speech in school for instance. They certainly have limits to their second amendment freedoms. So I don't think this bill will have constitutional issues. Personally, I'm all for a federal restriction on addictive social media for kids.
I'm not taking a side, but I don't think that's a fair comparison. My family was lower income than this. My parents were at work so that we could have shelter, food, and not go into crippling medical debt for even basic care. There wasn't time for this kind of interaction.
