I'd rather eat Japanese food in LA than American food in Tokyo, and it's not even close. But the average restaurant is probably better in Tokyo than in LA.

It says a lot about what injustices we have learned to accept that AI alarmists focus almost exclusively on the scifi-level hypothetical dangers of AI, rather than the very real problems it already causes today. Those problems largely fall

If you're OK with waiting multiple hours for CI, I suppose these issues wouldn't affect you very much. Where I work we make relatively small PRs and deploy to production tens of times per day. The recent outages have been a nightm

I really like the look. In a few years everyone will forget about it being "weird".

It seems incorrect to me to treat mathematics as a science. Mathematical concepts are quite arbitrary in the sense that we choose definitions that suit our purposes. And mathematics isn't "observed" and studied empirically.

I have to agree. I'm on vacation right now and I've been spending several full days cleaning my house and upgrading my home workspace.

A lot of people have the misconception that the EU cookie law applies to all cookies, but as the blog post correctly points out, that just isn't the case.

My apologies. I didn't know that Skull Calipers Monthly was such a popular periodical on HN!

Quilette is an interesting choice of publication, given that they don't mind promoting one particular kind of "scientific" literacy: https://quillette.com/2018/05/12/biosocial-criminology-lombr.

Maybe a stupid question: Is this the standard measurement of effectiveness? I.e. you give the control group a dummy vaccine, the test group the real vaccine, and you just wait for them to be infected? Why not test for antibody development?

1. One great thing about open source is that nobody is forcing you to upgrade. You can stick with VLC 3.x forever, and as mentioned in the video, it will be a long-term support release. 2. Jean-Baptiste Kempf was offered tens of millions of

Since the article lists prices in INR: The price of the iPhone 12 Pro in India in USD today is $1,615.22, and the price in Dubai is $1,140.15. So it must be possible to fly round-trip to Dubai for less than about $475, which seems plausible

Paying employees according to the true value of their labor is tempting at first, but you better be careful-- Apply the principle too consistently and the C-suite gets a huge pay cut.

Under capitalism, no, that's not what anyone is working towards.

> The interviews indicate that the attack was not the work of a nation-state or a sophisticated group of hackers. So it was not the work of "a state in which a great majority shares the same culture and is conscious of it"?

The "We'll Be Right Back" sound is from The Eric Andre Show. It's usually used to cut right as something really chaotic happens. Here's a very tame example by the standards of the show: https://www.youtub

Exciting news! This feels like a Blender 2.8-style project. What's funny about this is that a composer/music YouTuber/UX designer called Tantacrul meticulously roasted MuseScore's UI on YouTube, and the MuseScore team en

It's truly amazing that an incredibly rich city full of companies trying to "change the world" chooses over and over again to not solve its homelessness problem. It requires no new technological developments, no moonshots, ju
