The mainstream media reports did come across as racist/provincial/nationalistic, I hope that wasn't the intention, perhaps they wanted to stoke outrage/clickbaiting for attention. That said, this article does miss eating

"Nothing to hide" is indicative of condoning inverted/actual totalitarianism, until the Chinese-inspired tracking system follows you around every moment of your life and gives you a social credit score that tells you that you

What's neat is the tackling of NP and NP-complete problems that can do better than humans given infinite time and infinite Excel-fu. I wonder about how to go further to attack NP-hard problems, like Traveling Salesman, because it maybe

0. Is this significant because the FDA was institutionally-(/culturally-)against phage therapies because the Soviets went that way rather than antibiotics? Does anyone know how much of a hurdle that is still? 1. Isn't it the case

For WASM, there ought to be a package-management/registry mechanism for installation (unless there is already? It might get complicated, but would seem a good idea to reuse code/plugins.)... or as below, there ought to be some cac

I implied, perhaps unclearly, that it would be a half-measure that I'm not married to. And, I wonder how or why Japan is so set on spending trillion/s of yen on building-out an entirely new infrastructure without any significant c

There are these and other problems with CNs: 0. They try to be "be-all, end-all" proprietary container documents, so they lack generality, compatibility and embeddability. It would be better if live code try-out snippets were self

Maybe long-haul hydrogen from renewables and fission/fusion would be a better idea than digging ourselves deeper with FFs (natural gas, oil, etc.)? Another consideration against any kind of fuel pipeline: safety. They're pressure

That's also nibbling around the periphery. The most pressing goal is NET negative total GHGs. This means BOTH sequestration and emissions cuts including going to clean energy, industrial processes and other large sectors like concrete

Define "naturally" Without human intention: yes. Without repeated patterns of humans activity: no. If meat agriculture, and meat-eating in general, were almost nonexistent, the risks of evolving a pandemic would be several orders-

That's assuming it would be worth the investment (because systems in most areas of the observable universe can be few and far between) to go to other systems, when you could invest in preserving your own home system by exploring and co

I know thrift stores in a particular part of the Bay Area where college students dump clothes with labels like Armani and Versace because they bought too much / can't take it home with them when then move out. I would think women&

I would guess HN guidelines-ishness. Plus, the well-off don't like discussing sex, money, religion (spiritual or favorite programming language) or politics online, and that hits two buckets. I would wager that the average HN reader i

That's an unknowable and that's throwing around FUD without evidence, based on speculation. There is a bigger problem with unlimited, pay-to-play democracy: corruption. This starts with candidates having to raise vast sums from we

Being a boss isn't inherently evil, it's just workers are exploited in most current circumstances. Worker-owned co-ops and organized labor are the ways out of this, but requires workers to first summon the courage to risk being fi

True. Orthogonal to religious views, churches served as community anchors and people talked to their neighbors. Furthermore, most people under 40 don't own their own homes, don't have any wealth, don't have roots to the place

It's can be a fleeting or an obsessive focus. Also, if you tack on depression, it's difficult (for me) to prioritize and proportionality/negative cognitive distortions get in the way of almost everything and depression ma
