The law largely says that the “addictive feed” is ordered based on some trait of the user.

The part of the definition: “display to a user based, in whole or in part, on information associated with the user or the user's device”

So HN wouldn’t qualify, as the ordering is independent of the user.

> Does anyone else not understand the hype with AI generated code?

This can feel maddening, but is basically the approach taken for a few decades in many companies.

Developpers who think long and hard about their code and bring stability to the code base cost money, sometimes a lot. In comparison many businesses can get away with the "cheap labor with meh output but handled by QA and a management layer" approach.

That was Taylorism in the early days, outsourcing to random location also came from the same philosophy, the dream of "code modules" from the EJB area
that non devs would just mix and match, etc.

That dream will always live, if AI isn't it, something else will come up as a magical wand that somewhat generate output from a wide cheap "meh" labor base that only needs to be checked and managed by a few knowledgeable people.
Work from home might result in 90% productivity. A disabled employee out of work certainly results in 0% productivity.
Right, but most diseases we have vaccines for can’t easily evolve their way out of them like in this case. That’s kind of the point.

And you’re far from immune with the newest formulations. From the CDC: “People who received the updated COVID-19 vaccine were 54% less likely to get COVID-19 during the four-month period from mid-September 2023 to January 2024.”

Even with the original strain/vaccine, effectiveness waned after 6 months.
Well even if you limit it to tech, it's still a good argument to push forward remote work in tech sector first, at least ?
Right, it's not about whether Kaspersky has done or spread any malware so far, it's about what they could do if Russian government threatens to throw their managers out of 13th-floor window. It's a threat especially because AV-apps have full control of people's machines.

And Russia is sanctioned by US in many other ways because Russia started a war against Ukraine. So why not sanction Russian software companies as well. Makes sense if you think starting wars should be discouraged.
Also, "I am fundamentally smarter/better/more diligent than my fellow employees. My employer might recognize that with more compensation, but my fellow employees will not. They will drag me down and promote the unworthy."

Boolean: Personal Finance Platform
Hi everyone. I want to build a platform that connects personal finance coaches with people that need help with their personal finance. I'm working on the minimum viable product now. You can check it out here: Booleanco.com.

The benefit of this platform is that you can get all your personal finance questions answered. Should this be the benefit or should the platform offer some other benefit? Do people prefer to get their questions answered through text or a coaching session? Thanks!
I don't disagree with that, the main problem is that such a service doesn't exist, and so it goes to the public purse instead.

I tested them out loud in the context of sentences: "Can I get some ham on that sandwich?" and "Did you get your kid a hamster?" and the "ham" part still sounds exactly the same to me.

It could definitely be an accent or something that I just happen not to have heard much. It just surprised me that I couldn't think of what difference the author was thinking there might be.
It's not a financial standpoint, it's a perception standpoint.
Japan had an asset bubble that monetarists blamed on their lack of action to tighten the money market by increasing interest rates.

Their economy tanked and they switched to ZIRP in the late 90s and have been there more or less ever since, with no runaway inflation or asset bubbles.

So at best you could say that the impact of monetary policy on inflation and GDP is indeterminate, however it is more likely than not going to be inflationary because increasing interest rates increases net financial assets in the private sector by increasing transfer payments to rich people.

I wonder how much variation there might be in terms of margin of error. Like, how close do they have to get to keeping people on a rigid 6-month schedule? Would 7 be fine?

> When someone reads a book, watches a video, or attends a live training, the copyright holder gets paid

reading books, watching videos, and attending trainings or other performances are not rights reserved to copyright holders, and indeed the history of copyright law carefully and specifically excludes such activities from requiring copyright licenses. consequently copyright holders do not in fact get paid for them. the first sale doctrine means that, in the usa (where the nyt has filed their lawsuit), not only can copyright holders not charge people for reading books and watching videos, they can't even charge them from reselling used books and videos

this is fundamental to the freedom of thought and inquiry that underlie liberal civilization; it's not a minor detail

But you've never seen an electron.
Interesting point. I guess this is much less precise than gyroscopes though.
You get to see Leonard Nimoy in a whole new way, too.
From the paper: "Phenomena such as 'particle' tracks in bubble chambers, and the small spot appearing on a viewing screen when a single quantum interacts with the screen, are often cited as evidence that quanta are particles, but these are insufficient evidence of particles."

Really? Wave packets that are indivisible energy blobs, and that make individual "clicks" on my detector sure seem to act like particles to me.

I get that the math implies these bundles are waves - that's the duality part. I don't think any physicist thinks that there is a "particle" embedded in the wave packet, though, like this guy is arguing - the quantized wave packet is the particle!
Ignore the title. The paper looks reasonable. It characterizes the process of break-down which will enable the design of better products in the future.
The pricing page is strange. It looks more like a consulting company than a sofware company. Are you charging only for customizations and support? Can Amazon host a copy of your program?
It isn't the duty of the US to subsidize them, but many of us think it is nonetheless worth the bargain in order to incentivize research into novel medicines.

I personally don't think this is the only way we could accomplish this, but I think it's a better outcome than it would be if nobody nation "over"-paid for medicine in order to subsidize research.
When other countries export to the US, they send real goods and get USD denomiated reserves in accounts at the fed in return. They swap some of those USD denominated reserves for USD denominated bonds, because the US federal government has decided that they want to target specific interest rate and so they do so using domestic market operations.

At no point is the US federal government taking on debt denominated in a currency it does not issue (at least not in any significant amounts).
You've been hiding ads, sure.

You haven't been blocking them, because iOS with Safari didn't allow that.

Hiding, and blocking, are not the same thing. The former is far less secure than the latter.

As for blocking ads on iOS with Brave, well, it really doesn't work that well[0]. Why? Because iOS doesn't let you block ads, unless you are in the EU and on 17.4 or later.

You should exit the RDF and really do at least a bare minimum of research.

> oral vitamin D supplementation has not been convincingly shown to prevent the above conditions

Many generalist will still prescribe vitamin D every winter as a standard procedure.

If it has a placebo effect, as long as producing vitamin D is not extremely polluting/costly I'd see it as win.

But otherwise, making an effort to get sun, and in particular managing one's life to not be locked in a building during the few sunny hours of a day should be valued more highly.
Get enough sun, but don't get sunburn. Can someone make a product that allows "just enough" sun through for people like me?

I live in the northern latitudes of the continental U.S. and take strongly after my Scandinavian ancestors. If I spend even 12 minutes outside in spring or fall (never mind summer!) in direct sunlight without a high SPF sunscreen, I burn. It doesn't fade to tan. It fades back to pale white, then burns again next time.

I've tried building up a "tolerance" and it hasn't worked at all. I'm pasty white if I stay at or below 11 minutes and bright red if I hit 12. I'm not kidding when I say I would pay for an actual solution to this. I would love to spend more time outside in the sun.
Maybe because so much has been piled on top of your first post that no one is noticing it any longer? Or perhaps people have moved on to something that they find more interesting or relevant?

> While individually, it doesn't make sense to pay for customer service infrastructure to verify people's ownership of accounts, if there is a mandatory standard, all social media companies would benefit because it increases the value of their products.

I am not sure this is a good idea in the US where even voter ids are controversial.
For some of this, it shouldn't be private capital (such as infrastructure improvements) funding it, it should be public funds. The venture capital model is not a good fit for that, simply based on the evidence available, IE the distinct lack of funding for non-software solutions in the space.

SpaceX is a wonderful example of this as well. Elon Musk funded SpaceX, then investors followed much later, mostly due to StarLink and its potential, I imagine.

We need better government funding and we definitely need to re-evaulate how grants are structured, the funding tends to be very narrowly specified that you can't solve adjacent problems with the funding as it would be a violation of the terms of the grant. That sort of thing needs to be better accounted for and it isn't today, at least not always.

> Small claims court does get a company's attention. They either have to show up or lose.

Unfortunately this is state dependent. Good on California for not allowing an appeal if you don't show up.

In Texas, it's not uncommon for companies to no-show their small claims court date because they can immediately appeal for a de novo trial to a county court (which has more rigorous legal proceedings that give lawyers an edge).

Why would that be relevant? There are still physical jobs that require people to go to places to do things. All these discussions related to WFH pertain to the tech sector and office jobs that can be done remotely for the time being.

> The Cochrane review is underwhelming because it is mediocre

I would consider the article you're referencing less than mediocre. "The Cochrane review didn't show what we expected it would show because their standards are too high." They are not conflating "absence of evidence" -- readers are.

I think it's odd how often people reference the Bangladesh study as evidence supporting masks, apparently without having read it.

Ultimately, I think masks probably do have a statistically significant benefit. I also think that if the rigorous studies (yes, I mean mostly RCTs) to date have been underpowered to show this benefit, that the effect size is likely to be small enough to make the costs of bickering potentially nullify those benefits.

I still wear an N95 every shift.
> I say a very small percentage of the country works fully remote you link to a tech company just outside of Austin having a lot of remote workers and somehow think you're not living in a bubble?

Dell is a traditional company, not a modern tech company. It wasn't able to push RTO, and that's telling.

And why the hell the average labor statistics of a country outside the tech sector and office work would be relevant to WFH? There isn't a way to do construction work, mining, transportation etc through remote work yet, so they have absolutely no relevance to this discussion - which makes aggregate labor statistics irrelevant.
Of course, the halfway amount is precisely pegged to your current level of SSA benefits.

The posts you have made is information "associated with the user", is it not?

The fact of the matter is that there is a link on this page called "threads" that, if I click it, gives me a different result than if you were to click it. The result of that difference is a different list of user-generated posts... so it seems to me that it absolutely qualifies the preamble of the definition, and it's not clear to me that it satisfies any of the exceptions.
The issue here is a couple of things:

- Boeing won the crew launch contract. I think their per seat cost was around $90 million or 63% more than SpaceX per seat.

- The person inside Nasa who fought for the commercial program side (Kathy) instead of being rewarded (she would have made a great NASA admin) got taken off Human Exploration and Operations and Exploration Systems Development and got dumped into Space Operations

- NASA got a new admin, and despite having folks who'd made GREAT and courageous calls on things like SpaceX went super old space / old white guy (Bill Nelson) who had made a name for himself fighting Commercial Crew. Guess what pork he pushed - SLS! That's right. He and Hutchison ("The two lawmakers have been pressuring NASA and the White House for months to commit to building the Space Launch System").

So money going through NASA on things like SLS are just a total waste. And despite all the happy talk from Biden about supporting women - they go with some anti-spaceX NASA administrator in the form of an old white guy!

So now, in a total irony, despite being told what a misogynist he is, we have Elon Musk who has a smart and capable women running SpaceX (Shotwell) and another smart and capable women running Starbase (Kathy)!

Meanwhile, NASA has a super old white guy who has made almost all the wrong calls.
