Which the body basically is.

Anyone who tracks their calories daily for a long period of time will see that when they eat more they gain weight, when they eat less they loose weight.

Like I said above, there are other aspects that can factor but “calories in calories out” accounts for 80% of weight loss and weight gain (applying the broad brush of the 80:20 rule)

> Unlike Yuzu, the Suyu team does things differently in regards to Nintendo Switch emulation than their predecessors. Whereas Yuzu only required prod.keys, Suyu will also require you to dump your title.keys and firmware from a hacked Switch to run games. The devs also clarified that they are doing this for nonprofit (there's no Patreon) and do not condone piracy.

Several nations have legalized prostitution in ways where you can be a prostitute in business for yourself, but can't have someone above you taking a cut. This has the downside of preventing prostitutes from banding together to share rent for a space but it does a lot to limit pimping. Further improvements to the law could potentially allow for shared rental agreements of various types as long as there isn't someone getting a % cut and that would still effectively keep pimping illegal.

Snapchat is mostly for porn? Signal is mostly for drug dealers? Tor is mostly for pedophiles?

The early adopters of a technology are the users that need it the most, and have the highest opportunity cost from not using it. You can think of them as beta-testers for the "nothing to hide" folks. You are looking at the beginning of a technology and criticizing the beta-tester population.
There are no conclusive studies, but there are credible hypotheses and studies in animal models that suggest sexual orientation and gender identity (as well as other neurological factors) may be impacted by prenatal exposure to hormones and endocrine disruptors.

The science is a long way from having conclusive evidence either way, but there is a reasonable basis to think that it might have an impact, which should urge caution. If we found a new material that looked a lot like asbestos under a microscope, you'd presumably limit your exposure to it until proven safe?

Another semi-summary of the core part of the article:

>"echo '60016000526001601ff3' | xxd -r -p | zig build run -Doptimize=ReleaseFast" is much faster than "echo '60016000526001601ff3' | xxd -r -p | ./zig-out/bin/count-bytes" (compiling + running the program is faster than just running an already-compiled program)

>When you execute the program directly, xxd and count-bytes start at the same time, so the pipe buffer is empty when count-bytes first tries to read from stdin, requiring it to wait until xxd fills it. But when you use zig build run, xxd gets a head start while the program is compiling, so by the time count-bytes reads from stdin, the pipe buffer has been filled.

>Imagine a simple bash pipeline like the following: "./jobA | ./jobB". My mental model was that jobA would start and run to completion and then jobB would start with jobA’s output as its input. It turns out that all commands in a bash pipeline start at the same time.
At the cost of so deeply skewing what an "investment" is. How much destructive nonsense has been driven by the stock market? The South Sea Bubble, and every bubble since. Short-sighted decisions to meet quarterly revenue targets, at the expense of all else. What TeMPOraL calls "fracking": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34297430. I would not call any of this investment, but the stock market would.

If they require disclosure of enough information for the technology to be (in principle) independently reproduced, patents are worth it. I'd even argue that patent terms could be extended, in some domains, where that's necessary to ensure a return on investment. Copyright is, in principle, worth it, though the term is currently far too long and the laws can be abused for unrelated things (e.g. DMCA ink cartridges).

But the stock market is not worth it. The invisible hand of the market can remain irrational far, far longer than you can remain healthy and fed with a roof over your head, surrounded by friends and beautiful things. Let us not sacrifice what is good at the altar of the invisible hand.

The real estate market is similar: housing is for living in, not for speculative investment. The market incentivises real estate owners to ensure there aren't enough houses to go round, driving up house prices – but they usually forget that they can't actually sell their only property, so this only benefits landlords. (Irrational behaviour, sure, but whoever said humans were rational was a 20th-century economist who never read Adam Smith.)

Large infrastructure developments used to be handled at the community level, and in many places, they still are. For something as large as a nuclear power plant, that'd be your regional council or your national government. Hundred-year investments have to be made at that scale, anyway: that's what your secondary market proposal is about, after all. The stock market is only one (highly-flawed) way of organising things.

People do not build sheds in their gardens because they expect to be compensated: they build a shed because they want a shed. People do not work because they expect time and labour to be returned to them: they work because they get other things out of it. We should not assume that investment of resources yields fruits in kind – but the stock market cannot but make that assumption!
>when the involved "research" is either trivial (such as with the insulin racket)

source that "the insulin racket" was "trivial" to research? Yes, insulin was discovered more than a century ago, but that's not the thing that's patented today. All the expensive insulin are enhanced versions that are better in some way (eg. lasts longer, reacts sooner). If you want the old, crappy, and non-patented kind, you can get it at walmart for less than $25.

>financed by the government anyway.

Basic research that the government finances doesn't cover the billions of dollars needed to bring the drug to market.
> Plenty of innovation happens

Over a decade ago, sure.

Nowadays, it seems like they're struggling with basic things like defending against social-engineered SIM swaps (even when the account has an explicit note about it) and not leaking data (not talking about the "contested" AT&T breach, but the fully admitted T-Mobile one for example)?

But don't take it from me, here's a more reliable source with way more experience in the field: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/5g-elephant-in-the-room/

> you must be jaded due to competition

Outsourced sweatshops aren't meaningful competition for me - they have their customers and I have mine, and those rarely intersect. The sales pipeline and target market is completely different. My problem with them is more that they often manage to get government contracts (and thus get tax money) and then deliver no/subpar results.

---

At the end of the day it's clear we have a different view on these things so let's agree to disagree - my mistake is your opportunity. If you feel like prejudice against common outsourcing sweatshops is mistaken, you are welcome to exploit it (you can do so via the stock market, or by taking on locally-priced contracts, outsourcing them and pocketing the difference).

> have the decency to be anonymous

I'm trying to share my experience and opinion, not fire cheap shots under the cover of a throwaway. If this means some people choose not to work with me, so be it. If I wanted to be a people-pleaser and never say anything remotely negative I'd instead join a big corp and only communicate through the PR department.
> A city NEEDS to have people of all ages, backgrounds, income levels etc in it to not die.

Correct. Therefore, subsidized housing is good and more of it is better? No, it does not follow.

What you say is correct, to a degree. Beyond that, it is incorrect. There are no solutions, only trade-offs.

What does it mean to 'treat gravity approximately (that is, perturbatively)'? That sounds like something we do to model, which only approximates reality.

Go back to the basics.

Being part of this community, I'd suspect that there's a high probability of you being "in your mind" a lot of the time. Don't forget that that world up there is mostly conceptual. The map is not the terrain. The map is a lot more stressful. If you want to stay conservative, just change things up a bit to involve your body a bit more. If you're more radical, reinvent yourself completely. Some suggestions:

> For those who have been there and managed to get out and are now living a life you're proud of, how did you do it?

I'll answer the above question first:

- If you have the savings, travel. Plenty of places where it's the plane ticket that'll be the costliest expense. If you have the freedom, go for many months. Get a few books on topics you want to learn and go work through them from a place where the cost of living is permissive.

- Start taking courses in an unrelated, more "grounded", field (cooking, plumbing, masonry, woodworking, etc).

- If you already have some other skills, try turning them into a small business. Don't aim to change the world. Aim for basic cost of living before anything. Don't optimize your business for anything further until you have reached that goal. Premature optimizations will kill your business before whatever inefficiencies your analytical mind will undoubtedly spot very early in the process. Keep things super simple and non-optimal until it's absolutely clear that some factorization has short-term benefits.

- Find a physical activity to practice regularly. Don't rush the progress, savor it. Swimming, a martial art, yoga, etc.

> Depression, unemployment, lack of confidence, fear. I'm certain there are many on here who had high potential and feel they've squandered it.

I'm leaving this here in the spirit that you might be interested in trying a different approach to experiencing life. If this doesn't resonate with you, that's ok too.

The "squandering" of life is an outlook to it that is the product of cultural beliefs that we're meant to do "something meaningful". There's no evidence that there's a way to fail or waste life. There's reason to believe that every experience of it is valid. I'd suggest to start with some topics in philosophy as an entry point. Our culture is predominantly materialist and our thinking patterns generally already align like this, so I suggest to counter-balance that bias with contents in eastern thought (Alan Watts is a good entry point), idealism (A. Schopenhauer, Bernardo Kastrup), and stoicism (Seneca, Epictetus, Marcus Aurelius). This might help you expose possible underlying cultural beliefs you're operating from and why they're possibly wrong. Philosophy alone can raise existential questions. I strongly advise to supplement that exploration with a nondual contemplative practice where you will learn to explore and perhaps solve your version of "the world's problems", from within. Some good authors/speakers that I can suggest to begin with would be Eckhart Tolle, Adyashanti, and Rupert Spira.

Good luck.
“Sue You,” as in Nintendo will…
Sure, and that kind of thing falls into the 20% of the 80:20 rule of most things. The vast majority of people loose or gain weight based on their calorie in take / expenditure
But the acceleration meter won't measure any force because gravity is acting on every part of it uniformly. If you had an acceleration meter entirely made out of the same magnetic substance, and you brought a magnet near it, would the acceleration meter register anything, or would it read zero acceleration, since all parts of it were being acted on uniformly (and thus didn't "notice" any acceleration)?
Local families are the ones getting rich by having their houses surge in price. And they are probably also the reason why new houses are not being built.
>Anything will blow off the charts if you have the wrong scale.

>I feel like the responses to my comment do not understand what a scale is or what it means for something to go off it.

Readers understand the comment and understand what a scale is.

HN readers are notoriously critical of comments that don't add substantively to the discussion. Language is often used in ways that extend beyond the direct literal meaning of the words. and maximally pedantic interpretations ceased to be interesting a long time ago for most HN readers.

Also, in practice, chart scales and scale heights are generally an implicit measure of historical data range and variability, so if something blows past the top of the chart, even in a maximally literal interpretation, that is commonly a sign that something significant has happened in the signal being charted.
Highly doubt this was the initial idea for nvidia given they were graphics-only for a very long time. CUDA definitely felt like more of a value-add for the first 5-6 years than a concerted effort to build accelerators and to fund that with graphics demand. First "tesla" line of GPUs - which had very little compute-only focus - were in 2007.

Interesting point, but running towards the precipice might be just one of the solutions.

> This is not equivalent because giving someone that money doesn't mean they'll chose to live inside Paris, and this is a measure that goes beyond financial support.It's also a city policy aimed at achieving a specific population distribution.

I don't know, I would prefer the autonomy to choose where I live and how I spend my money. Why don't we afford the same respect to people that are less well off? Why do we want to essentially force them to live somewhere expensive when they would prefer to use that money elsewhere? They're not some pawn you can use to feel good about yourself. "Oh look at all these people from different cultures that live here". They're human beings
Like, I'm sure it happens (we don't tend to have taboos on things unless people are at least occasionally doing them, because the point of the taboo is to make them stop), but the article's principal evidence is a single, unpublished study which estimated it at one in 7000.

I mean, clearly the prevalence is greater than 0, but the evidence for it in this article is not impressive. Even many published studies don't hold up to closer scrutiny, and this one isn't even published.
> while you can walk and cycle without any of those things.

A few years ago a driver making a right-on-red bumped me in the crosswalk with his car. It was reckless but whatever no harm no foul. But then he got out, incorrectly thinking he had the right of way, and demanded my "papers." He was incredulous and furious that I didn't have insurance papers to show him, or thought I was refusing to. He ended up calling 911 about it, though they didn't come.

Ever since then I can't get some questions out my head. Is that really how he thought it worked or was he just flustered? Do other people think like this? This was a middle-aged guy in a suit in a major city's business district, so presumably some sort of professional. Is he good at his job?
Everything you written here is subject to interpretation.

Even “replace human”.

For example today there are only 2 pilots in an airline plane. And even that is “just in case”. In early days there were 3.

So literally technology has already “completely replaced” some humans.

Does it mean “intelligence”?

No, it is valid for a file to have content but no lines.

Semantically many libraries treat that as a line because while \n<EOF> means "the end of the last line" having just <EOF> adds additional complexity the user has to handle to read the remaining input. But by the book it's not "a line".

If I said "ten buckets of water" does that mean ten full buckets? Or does a bucket with a drop in it count as "a bucket of water?" If I asked for ten buckets of water and you brought me nine and one half-full, is that acceptable? What about ten half-full buckets?

A line ends in a newline. A file with no newlines in it has no lines.

What does this mean in your context
> There should be (light) commercial development.

There is. (both example pictures above have a commercial development less than 10 minutes walk away).

The problem is that there isn't enough commercial need for every single development to have it's own commercial block -- we already have a large overabundance of commercial space in the US as it is, adding even more of it inside each residential development doesn't magically spring forth a business to fill it.

(this is true even at city-level densities -- as lots of urban 5-over-1 developments are struggling to keep their ground-level commercial/retail units sustainably filled)

And since we do need more housing, pressure builds to just convert the commercial back into residential anyway...
If you agree the city dies without people of all ages backgrounds and income levels what is your alternative proposal to subsidized housing.

Don't buy the hype on new "breakthrough" Alzheimer's treatments
I grew up in the US in a small city. My parents owned a car periodically, but only one, and the vast majority of my peers were in car-less families.

We all did most of everything day-to-day just fine between walking, bikes, and busses. The kids over say 6 mostly transported themselves to wherever they were going without their parents. Of course, we also NEVER took our toys, clothes, or books outside of the house (wtf???) nor snacks (we ate and drank at meals) and only brought clothes somewhere if we were planning on staying the night there. If I needed clothes I'd carry them myself. I literally couldn't imagine my parents carrying around my clothes at a point that I was physically able to carry them myself. The thought makes me laugh. For babies there are diaper bags, my parents never needed more than a single diaper bag even though they had multiple kids in diapers at the same time.

Not having a car only was a problem for day trips, like the amusement park 60 miles away. We'd always make sure to bring friends and family who didn't have a car whenever we went to those sorts of places.
Because TCS, HCL, Wipro, Infosys, and some western companies also keeping outsourcing teams there (i.e. Atos) provide consistently below-absolute-zero quality that pushes and enforces bad stereotypes.

Because the real issue is not Indian people or their skills, but corporations that established a pattern of supplying people whose only skill is alleged knowledge of english language. The best thing I can say about those companies is that their IT sweatshops are better than starving, and those who learn anything seem to escape to better workplaces.

I have yet to meet as consistent (negative) quality signal as finding out the job has been outsourced to consulting company in India. I have worked with, well, low-quality coworkers (and betcha been one myself more than once) from many countries - but nowhere else there is such negative selection.

For comparison, there's no such correlation if the coworker is indian but working elsewhere.
One argument I heard for the Yuzu settlement was to avoid discovery. There's speculation that Nintendo had the goods on them, and that discovery would expose them to more than the civil penalties they were facing.

Nintendo has never been friendly to emulation, or most fan content in general, but there are protections for fair-use and this team appears to be building their work behind those, rather than playing fast and loose with them.
Manhattan's population dropped 25% from its peak in the early 1900s. Pre-war was just a different era, this is more of a function of changing living standards, people live larger, not of contemporary housing dynamics.
