This is also how I use it, but I am not even sure exactly how one would use it any other way. The whole UI is organized around “Your Library” which is a list of artists you like.

I don’t get the problem here. You can listen to whatever you want on Spotify. I listen to it everyday, already knowing what I want to listen to, and never encountered this. However, it sounds like they are paying real musicians to create mu

I'm assuming that the average Palestinian feels persecuted, and is willing to support Hamas as the only group they see actively trying to do something about that, even if they don't love Hamas's methods. This support would ev

I had an ex that "forced" me to become poly to stay together, which in hindsight was really just abuse and cheating rather than polyamory, although I didn't realize it at the time. So I'll admit I'm a bit jaded, and

The first thing is to be kind, empathetic, and understanding when someone isn't as good at you as something. This happens to everyone, and no matter how smart someone is, there are things they are particularly bad at as well. Keeping i

I think the answer here is a bit subtle and hard to explain, because it contradicts a lot of common assumptions about addiction and drugs. In short, many addictive substances create a chemical dependence that often has awful, even potential

Anyone that has experienced LSD would know that what you are saying is impossible and makes zero sense. Other than both being chemicals, the effects are so radically different that they have no interchangeable purpose. Specifically LSD cann

Do they need to appease Hamas, or just the average, and presumably more moderate Palestinian enough to make them stop feeling persecuted, and stop supporting Hamas themselves? This is a sincere question, I think it is worth stating that out

It seems to be the other way around- only the pro-Palestinian posts are being allowed and the other side is being flagged and downvoted. Despite my comments being on the side that isn't being silenced, it seems very much against HN eth

I'm very disappointed in people flagging everyone that disagrees with me. What is the point of even coming on here if you won't have a discussion with people you disagree with, but want to censor their ability to participate? Echo

No, that is what it means when a person or organization raises a concern and you reply like you did- that they have no right to raise the concern because you’re implying they are just as guilty.

They could stop persecuting and murdering Palestinians, stop occupying Palestine, and agree to either a one state or two state solution that recognizes Palestinians as human beings with a right to live.

The criticism in the Wikipedia you linked lists various cases where unethical things were happening, and the article explains how the other employees and the organization took apparently strong corrective action to deal with them. That hard

Fair point, although with a 400+ year half life in the americium source in the detector, I am skeptical that a new smoke detector would be any more reliable than a very old one. I would think testing them regularly - especially with simulat

Your home is usually automatically geofenced, so if you left it there it shouldn't chirp. If you parked your car elsewhere, e.g. an airport lot it was probably chirping while you were gone, but you wouldn't hear it because you wer

Presumably if something is sufficiently impossible to interact with in any capacity both for the intended audience and nefarious actors, it is also "secure." For example, if your computer keyboard layout is scrambled through a one

You can configure the geofencing locations where it won't alarm in the 'Find My' app.

There is something wrong with your configuration/setup, it is not supposed to start chirping unless it is out of range of your phone for at least 8 days, and not in one of the predefined geofence regions you can setup where it won&#x27

Does that fix it or make it worse? If you have 10 smoke detectors and they end up randomly staggered so this happens once a year, and you can't replace the batteries anymore... that seems worse than the old system which completely elim

People aren't romanticizing it in a positive way, they are mostly fascinated by the bleakness of it- and shocked that something they thought was relegated to fiction actually existed in real life. Much of HN grew up as nerdy kids on cy

Exactly, a key should never be in the same place twice in a row- that's just wasted movement that could be better optimized. Letters the computer predicts you probably won't use should automatically disappear, and be replaced with

Absolutely, you make an important point. The reason this hate movement is gaining so much momentum is that they are the only group validating peoples concerns, but then pointing the finger and telling them who to blame, and claiming to have

Reasonable criticisms of specific policy or programs (like you mention) is not what I or the poster above was referring to- there is a widespread cultural zeitgeist going on right now that is fundamentally emotionally based on hatred, and w

Exactly... the point of Asimov's rules is to illustrate that making a simple set of rules that sounds good on the surface can still have awful unintended consequences.

It's not the moderation team, your post was flagged dead by regular users, and is vouched for and back (for now). I agree it is very disappointing that even labeling hate speech for what it obviously is wouldn't be acceptable. I&#

I know you’re joking, but I think it’s worth mentioning that Asimov’s rules and similar systems won’t work for AI alignment- you can still follow the rules perfectly and end up with horrific outcomes.

You are drawing a distinction where none exists. Probably theory provides the provably optimal way to reason under uncertainty[1], and seems to also describe the behavior of biological intelligence[2]. Probably and statistics are the math

Harbor freight also has much more consistent quality and no fake name brand items. It’s funny because they used to be synonymous with low quality- but now they seem to have the highest quality tools you can easily buy as a consumer.
