What is the US "winning" by pissing off their allies?

> But in my experience, decreased cravings make it easier to choose food rationally. The food noise that causes people to overeat usually doesn’t cause them to overeat healthy foods anyway.

"Food noise" is much more than just craving calories, we have cravings for most of the different nutrients we need. That is how people ate a balanced diet in history even though it was much harder to do back then, peasants craved meat and vegetables even though it was easier to just eat potatoes for calories.


What do you think about non-media screen use like Google Maps or typing on a word processor?

The solution to that one is pretty simple, simply don't collect information you don't need, and you can avoid the banner altogether! Github manages to not have banners, it's not because of magic.

Can't be done. You have to spend a minimum of seven years building a valuable skill set first.

I don't have stats, but most police have made it pretty clear that they're used for investigations that would otherwise have very little to go on.

I don't think anyone other than the manufacturers have made claims of cameras reducing crime. You can put all the AI bells and whistles on them, but they're still just cameras.

They're a fallback option, not a dragnet. The police are generally reactive to reports of crime, not proactively trying to piece together the details of everyone's lives and nail them the moment their dog poops on the sidewalk. No AI can even do that anyway and it would be a waste of money.

There are two vocal camps of people on these threads that are eroding HN: fearmongerers and grifters. I don't understand how it got this bad, but that's the real crisis here.


You might have a point. But, at the same time, AFAIK the only manufacturer that complained about USB-C (and, coincidentally, making the exact same argument as you're making) was Apple. And they definitely weren't interested in making the lightning connector an industry standard. Quite the opposite.

I think so, too.

I've had woke people attempt to do me harm in the past, but the Gleam people didn't strike me as that kind of woke: they've been nothing but helpful.

If you think black lives don't matter, or that trans people deserve no rights, or support nazis... the Gleam community probably wouldn't want to have you.

I -- controversially -- think black lives matter and white lives matter. And everyone else too!


And of course, it's compounded by being pooled. Like RealPage, ALPR services like Flock, Axon Fleet Hub, and Motorola Vigilant VehicleManager offer data laundering so that organizations that shouldn't be talking can communicate.

Privacy laws now.


> The term "cuckold" isn't inflammatory.

You cannot detach it from the a) contemporary usage of the term and b) the original post uses "cuck" very intentionally to evoke said contemporary usage.


Oh so you can't prove that you didn't murder someone, though many people are saying it.

Sorry, I don't debate things with criminals.


I live near one of the world’s largest grid scale battery facilities. It was in the news last year for catching fire and filling the air with lithium. [0] So I’m aware of the technology’s existence. But I also know that it’s still a very young technology, with battery chemistry constantly improving. There are also inherent losses going to and from AC power, which is what the grid operates on and which most plants produce.

Does governments have any say in this? If not then most MEPs of mentioned countries are too in favor of Chat Control. This is what it says when you click on one of the 4 countries.

They would be exempt. So they can enact mass surveillance while remaining above the law.

Interesting technique, horrible article. Manages to convey significantly less information than the X thread it mined for ad revenue.

Maybe later

This is a very good pledge to have all humans to sign up for anywhere on the globe.

>>We are choosing to stand in solidarity with Muslim Americans,

This particular word, with no other identities after that, takes the air out of this massive effort and gives the impression it is a localized effort.


Having had a second to think, it's rent control that's the issue, so the solution would be to get rid of that. Totally politically untenable, but rent control is why landlords are incentivized to leave places vacant.

To avoid the risk of exfiltration, we need to stop using .env for security. API keys needed when working in a repo should be handled by a proxy like ssh-agent, and we need something better than bearer auth.

The article is pretty light on details. Essentially, the tree is first pruned to create a wide and sturdy base; once that's stable, subsequent shoots from the branches are pruned to grow vertically. The technique relies on this particular variety of cedar which tends to grow vertically but can also be made to spread out a bit.

(this is my interpretation after a few minutes of googling)


Isn't this just Pollarding and/or Coppicing, which have been practiced for at least 2000 years in Europe (and probably many other cultures as well), with a healthy dose of orientalism added on top?

I can speak for the sentiment in Denmark: most people are unaware of this legislation. A vocal minority of us (who are a little too online) have been trying to educate people, but I think it feels too esoteric. We had a poll last year which asked, "the ability to detect child abuse is more important than the right to online privacy." 65% of people said yes, 33% said both are equally important, and only 2% said online privacy is more important. The discussion for normal people is often couched in the language of "think of the children." Unfortunately, that appears to be highly effective with the Danes.

To be honest, I'm beginning to suspect most people don't care all that much about privacy if you promise them safety.


> simply amended as soon as such a standard emerges

That statement just makes no sense. How can a new standard emerge when legally there is no option to validate its actually superior in the market?

> figures out something better

That’s not how it works. Most innovation does not occur in committees but through trial and error.


OK, so is the point being made that "drugs have side effects"?

Wow. I had no idea.

Come on, why is it that whenever GLP-1s come up on this site, the comments are filled with people helpfully pointing out this fact as if no one knows it already?


Not sure what “tells” you’re talking about. They have a “Made with Human Intelligence” badge at bottom of the post. Are you calling them liars? If so, what do you have to gain by trying to discredit them? Are you heavily invested in AI, or is there something else motivating you?

The overall message from the post is good, and I find the attacks on it in these comments highly unusual.


Can't you do that with regular Unix permissions?

I would not use Claude to get a second opinion on anything that’s an image.

Many states already have required ID for voting, and indeed a state ID card can be obtained from the DMV for a nominal cost, probably free in need-based cases.

The original message you replied to said (mistakenly):

> adopt true goroutines

Goroutines are preemptive. The distinction between cooperative and non-cooperative concurrency is very significant - it is the difference between never having to think about the scheduler and always having to thinking about it when doing CPU intensive tasks.


It's easy to prove that you didn't get paid though. The company would lose in a second, assuming the claim is true. Defamation is only defamation if it isn't true.

Surely they'd know that they didn't pay the employee writing the review...

That being said, the whole scenario seems absurd. Most countries have easy ways for employees to file claims of non-payment and companies are forced to pay up.. I've never heard of a company not paying staff AND getting away with it unless they're bankrupt.
