Within her discussion is the unscientific "humans have no free will" statement. Free will is experienced as a part of the consciousness, which we cannot point to, physiologically. (For those who point to the head region as "containing consciousness", this is also unscientific.) The most annoying part of the video is that her statement comes off as this being simple observable fact that "everybody knows" and is a good example of why articles on topics are best when kept on topic.

My own observation is that time is better described as human narrative description of events in the observable universe.

I have not read the paper referenced in the video and I have to really spend time on these things to recall the concepts such papers are typically breezing through, but when I have attempted in previous years to understand how scientists explain time, they seem to usually have little agreement and lots of guesses. I have not found scientists claiming they have discovered fundamental units of time. I have not found scientists claiming they can sample time. I have not found scientists claiming they can isolate time. I have not found scientists claiming to have derived time as some sort of force in the universe. I am not clear on how something that has no fundamental units, cannot be sampled, cannot be isolated, and is not a force can also be something in the physically existent universe. Yet, scientists seem to place time in their explanations and equations as something that de facto exists.

Ah, it's the same issue that every user created content site and service with a payout system has. Because the cost of living is much lower in other countries, there's an incentive for people there to exploit these systems with useless crap in an attempt to get rich quick.

I saw it on forums with revenue sharing all the way back in the 90s and 00s. You had people from all kinds of less well off countries signing up and posting junk en masse because the tiny amount that Adsense paid out was a king's ransom in those parts of the world.

And it's been a constant ever since. 'Web 3.0' games that paid people to play had these people turn them into full-time jobs, Quora has an endless deluge of junk being posted because of their contributor program, and the same is true of everything from Medium to YouTube to TikTok and Instagram. Any time there's a way to 'make money from home', then it turns into a get rich quick scheme/full-time business for those in low cost regions or with few other options.

But hey, it's inevitable. If posting junk online pays better than local businesses and jobs do, then of course you're going to see an increasing number of people trying to get in on the hustle.

Ask HN: How to Price a Product
I'm 11 years experienced software engineer. I have been showing interests in frontend design and development and my day job is around it.

I built a working concept that converts designs to interactive code. However, the tech is not usable at this stage, no documentation and looks bad, but works as expected.

I'm aware of selling services as SAAS. I'd like to sell the tech as a product containing a software, product manual, usage instructions with samples.

The target users are designers, initial feedbacks were some points to address and they are curious and interested.

Having said that it's not SAAS, not subscription based, I'd like to know how to put a price on it as a product.
That definition was made after the sense being used in this article (and this sense has been widely used in cybersecurity in general). Your linked term comes from an acronym written on prison cell doors (Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise) while the meaning of "used only once / unique" has an etymology dating back to Middle English.

Do Not Use Blockquotes for Admonitions: A Markdown Trap
Using input methods is the "technically best" solution of course, but it needs configuration and some application support, therefore I wanted something working with "plain X" :)

Sending fake key events is unfortunately "hacky". You need to temporarily switch the keyboard mapping, and many X applications have races between applying a new mapping and processing key press events, that's why I added (now configurable, new release soon) delays... and also, I found applications (e.g. chromium) having issues to correctly combine ZWJ sequences from individual key events, so I added more "hacks" to help with that, also just made configurable.

To sidestep these issues, my tool also offers transfer via "primary selection": Just middle-click an emoji to select it, and middle-click again where you want to insert it. Downside: Two clicks instead of just one.
> Are these loops in Kubernetes so hot that extra microseconds for some program stack manipulation will affect performance?

Actually, looking at the code itself, pv_controller doesn't look overly hot, but extremely high value. In this case the long methods are intended to keep the logic confined, so one can read end to end and understand what is going on.

The code even doesn't use automatic type inference in Go (the := syntax), in some cases to make code more readable.

From what I understand, this code needs to be "kernel level robust", so they kept the overly verbose formatting and collected all three files to a single, overly verbose file.

I don't think this is a bad thing. This is an important piece of a scale-out system which needs to work without fault (debate of this is another comment's subject), and more importantly it's developed by a horde of people. So this style makes sense to put every person touching the code on the same page quick.

> I feel Space shuttle programming's job in many ways is in fact to try and remove ambiguity from code. But not by explaining the language, but the variables and their units. I sure wouldn't mind spamming "units in cm" everywhere or explaining every branch logic if it's mission critical.

A code comment needs to explain both the logic, and how the programming language implement this logic the best way possible. In some cases, an optimized statement doesn't look like what it's doing in the comment above it (e.g. the infamous WTF? comment from id Games which does fast_sqrt with a magic number). In these cases I open a "Magic Alert" comment block to explain what I'm doing and how it translates to the code.

This becomes more evident in hardware programming and while working around quirks of the hardware you interface with ("why this weird wait?", or "why are you pushing these bytes which has no meaning?"), but it also happens with scientific software which you do some calculation which looks like something else (e.g.: Numerical integration, esp. in near-singular cases).

> Not so much this inconsistent doxygen/javadoc style documentation on every variable/class. If you're going to go full entrprise programming, commit to it.

This is not inconsistent. It's just stream-of-consciousness commenting. If you read the code from top to bottom, you can say that "aha, they thought this first, then remembered that they have to check this too, etc." which is also I do on my codebases [0]. Plus inline comments are shown as help blobs by gopls, so it's a win-win.

I personally prefer to do "full on compileable documentation" on bigger codebases because the entry point is not so visible in these.

> "a proper linter configuraion would have really helped enforce these rules".

gopls and gofmt do great job of formatting the codebase and enforcing good practices, but they don't touch documentation unfortunately.

Don't forget pharmaceuticals. The number of prescription drugs per capita and the number of childhood vaccines have both risen dramatically over the last few decades.

We're speculating either way here, be it food or pharmaceuticals, so I'm not trying to claim that all drugs or vaccines are bad. The correlation is important though and should be on any list of culprits along with microplastics, chemical weapons used as pesticides and herbicides, processed foods, etc.
> You cannot blame apple for acting in its own best interests. That’s the nature of the capitalism beast.

I care about end-users. I care about my interests. I don't care about Apple's interests, because they are only "incidentally" useful to me as long as they align with my interests. Their own best interests are not any of my concern. I don't care if this is best for them, because it makes the rest of us worse off.

Of course I can blame Apple for acting in its own best interests. The same way I can blame Shell or BP for covering up climate change research in "their own best interests". The same way I can blame EA for putting Ultimate Team in FIFA with insane microtransactions or Bethesda for forcing Arkane Austin to make a live service game like Redfall instead of Prey 2.

We don't live to serve corporations. We have no obligation to agree to every decision they make if they're in "their best interest" and we have no obligation to further businesses solely to the benefit of the businesses themselves.

> If you want hardware to be opened up for the installation of other operating systems, you’ll have to lobby a governing body for that.

And I hope regulation requiring interoperability and open platforms to ensure longevity and end-user control of their own devices is what happens. Because clearly companies like Apple can't be trusted to make choices that benefit everybody. That isn't going to stop me from criticizing Apple for making these decisions.

It's also not like this is something specific to Apple that I'm upset about. I'm also worried about Qualcomm's ARM chips in Windows devices, because I trust neither Qualcomm nor Microsoft to maintain an open platform analogous to what we've had with x86. Long-term, regulation will probably be required anyway.

This isn't anything new. Been working for a couple decades and the only times I would hear feedback was for internal job postings at a large company. And that's because you might run into those folks in the hallway or end up working together on a project later on.

There are time constraints on the hiring manager/team with the numbers of applicants and legal ramifications for the company if something is misstated or could be construed as against hiring laws.
It's likely the washing process still scratches the glass but it's less visible. It doesn't increase the "safe" life of the glass, as bacteria is still able to get into those scratches.

Nope. It's the opposite way. The cow produces so much milk, because it's milked so often. In normal world, cow produces milk for the children, and when they drink less and less milk, the cow produces less and less milk. In the not normal world (aka the farm) cows are inseminated almost every year, the children are taken away (causing shock in children and mothers) then cows are milked all the time. Then impregnated and so on. Till a cow is so exhausted that she cannot give enough milk to be "economically productive" and then she's slaughtered as useless.

Please use my tool to verify what I just wrote in the comment, I worked hard to bring AI models to work on the browser. It's free if you want to upscale 5 images at once. You can upscale as many images as you want. Free forever. If you want to upscale 1000's of images at once you should get the premium. if you don't want it then that's fine, you can upscale 5 images at once for free, after it's upscaled then upscale another set of 6 images for free, etc.

> allowing open-source developers to capture the value they create

But... then why would I use their code if whatever value it creates is captured by them the developers and so I am no better from where I was? That's like paying your employees the additional value they produce instead of the market wages: you then literally have no reason to hire them since their work is exactly profit-neutral.
They would be converging at a fixed rate (dx/dt = 0), aka , not accelerating. This is unlike what we see in the presence of gravity.

All software is built by humans in some way. All software has mistakes.

Perfection is an impossible goal.
I think this still illustrates the problem, though: where is the start of the number line? Perhaps this alien species has a right-to-left written language. Or top to bottom. How would one help orient the alien to the left to right numbering system used in this language?

Very interesting thought experiment while drinking my coffee this morning!
Its hard to make assumptions like this though. There is always the possibility that prolonged exposure to processed foods impacts reproduction over time. We could be seeing a delayed spike now because parents were exposed to the food for a decade or two before they had children.

This is all hypothetical, I'm not claiming this is the case. Its just worth considering delayed responses that require a generation or two before the symptoms are easy to spot.

Can't say I've been brave enough to tear them apart :D I took the lazy way out and just sorted by specs on the listing.

I actually expressly didn't want to overclock the memory, just get something that ran nicely as-is.

I'm actually not at 1:1... stable. Perhaps wires got crossed? In another post I mentioned it POSTs but that's about it :( I may be able to get something there, but can't promise or over-represent it.

The memory is at 6600 but I have some divisor or whatever at memclk/2. This is super stable
That would be the case if the CPU had four memory channels, but consumer platforms only have two. When you install four modules the bandwidth is shared between each pair, so on paper you end up with the same bandwidth as if you used two modules at the same clock, but running four modules puts additional strain on the CPUs IMC and demands better motherboard signal integrity so the clock speed usually has to be reduced to get it stable.
Charge customers twice?

I suspect that waste produced by broken glasses is so minuscule compared to the overall glass production/waste that this is largely irrelevant.

Edit: Apparently glass cookware and drinking glasses are often not recyclable. This seems like a more important aspect to improve than durability even if, again, still overall a small improvement compared to overall glass industry.
You brought a tear of joy to my eye.

I find it very hard to assume good faith behind the question. GDPR certainly made things better but it's by no means a cure all because enforcement is slow and relatively weak. You can take https://noyb.eu as a very good resource for this.

Some excerpts:

> Microsoft's Xandr grants GDPR rights at a rate of 0%

> Norwegian court confirms € 5.7 million fine for Grindr

> Meta ignores the users’ right to easily withdraw consent

> Streaming service DAZN took almost five years to answer a simple access request

> First major fine (€ 1 million) for using Google Analytics

> Spotify fined € 5 Million for GDPR violation

> € 1.2 billion fine against Meta over EU-US data transfers
> I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand the difference between legitimate and illegitimate requests.

Does the law mandates unlimited access to all data ? Even for people who are not suspected of commiting a crime ?
Sounds like we may be better off just directly powering whatever needs it.
> Normal glasses are recyclable

Is this the case in reality? Everywhere I've lived drinking glasses were not accepted as part of domestic glass recycling due to their composition [0]

Perhaps there is a commercial recycling route for pubs though? A quick google didn't turn anything up.

I think there are multiple reasons for that.

The first is an increased fatigue caused by some poor quality posts OR posts presenting the same thing again and again just by opportunism (e.g. boilerplates where people just share their thing as an Ad). Therefore, the trust has decreased and people start asking themselves "what's hidden behind".

Another reason might be related to the surge of cyberattacks of all kinds. Lots of comments here are not super nice, but they are polite and ask good and legitimate questions, especially regarding cybersecurity.

As long as people are polite, argumented criticism should be appreciated.

I really miss the cool-looking computers of the Seymour Cray and Thinking Machines era. The SGI moiré cabinet doors were gorgeous as well.
It's the opposite, it makes no sense to build something forever. You have no clue what people will want or need in the future. If you make a bunch of forever glasses and in 50 years nobody wants to use glass containers anymore (or at least the ones you made), you just wasted a bunch of resources and energy making them last longer than they needed. Specially due to changing "taste" people want to change the items they use frequently.

You can imagine other reasons why we shouldn't make products last forever, it's a huge over-investment of limited resources that could be used in the future for better things. Specially in a planet with limited resources but continuously evolving technology, it is really not good to make forever stuff unless the technological innovation stops. Because you could use the same resources later to do better stuff at the same cost.

What we should do is wherever possible make things repairable and prosecute anyone that intentionally makes something harder to repair (not really applicable to glass, where recycling is the only option).

The problem was that when supplying inaccurate user credentials you would get an error message telling you which was wrong.

Security in WP seems more like an afterthought to me, which is a shame to say the least.

I'll promptly admit my bias: I've been on macs as my daily driver for 20 years. But that's for a reason — the hardware is great, the software is good, and the support for old hardware is honestly amazing. I do lots and lots of hand-me-downs to parents, siblings, the spouse, and lots of those devices still work, with the latest OSes, years and years down the line. I have a friend that just replaced an old 13" Macbook that was 12 years old and working great.

Find me a company that does that and is as good in terms of build quality and I'll be immediately interested.
