I feel that filtering has to be secondary to restricting your information intake.

I've realized that you can be informed on world matters with just 5 mins of news per day instead of a hour. My Twitter has little to no politics and mostly is about art, design and pop culture. I feel this minimizes the doom scrolling but I'll admit that you can't seem to completely escape the background negativity of Twitter.

That's how long it takes to train the machine learning model.

Be careful what you wish for; before you know it, someone is instead selling you an entire framework for work and that is infinitely worse than any single office productivity app.

Ever feel like you live in a land where the government seems to be action not only unscientificlly but irationally? That's been my experience in Sweden during covid-19.

For example, the article mentions government recommended mask wearing and that it took until December for the recommendation to be put forward but you need to understand the details to fully realize how ludicrous its implementation is.

First of all, it is not mandated by law but only a recommendation which means that there are no legal consequences for transgressors.

Secondly, the recommendation only covers public transportation in select cities during rush hour and weekdays, making it difficult to keep track of when to wear a mask.

Thirdly, travelers who aren't wearing a mask cannot be removed for the premises by bus drivers, safety staff or other staff as this is a right only excecised by the police. So basically it took the government almost a year to suggest the public to wear masks but the recommendation is toothless and confusing, leading to very few people wearing masks when in public.

Now imagine the same incompetence being applied to every aspect of Sweden's Corona handling and you might understand why Sweden's strategy had been so consistently terrible.

Is Neuralink struggling with hiring people? Are they seem as a serious company by neuroscientists? So much of their latest PR has really been recruiting material.

> Despite every physicist we have spoken to over the better part of two years asserting that the "Pais Effect" has no scientific basis in reality and the patents related to it were filled with pseudo-scientific jargon, NAWCAD confirmed they were interested enough in the patents to spend more than a half-million dollars over three years developing experiments and equipment to test Pais' theories.

That's such a low sum when it comes to military waste that leadership would have to be crazy not to spend it! /s

Because grand parents mentioned firing people...

So how do you prevent mediocricy because every employee is afraid of failing because of the draconian consequences?

Imagine thinking you are representative of US immigrants.

It's crazy that in 2021 they still don't have videos of how to assemble their furniture. I mean, it couldn't be that they charge you for assembly service...

This seems to be the standard for indie dev studios [0]. They have to work harder and smarter than the big guys because their resources are in such short supply and they can't survive having a game that flops.

[0] Just look at Edmund McMillen (The Binding of Isaac, Super Meat Boy), Eric Barone (Stardew valley), Cardboard Computer (Kentucky Route Zero), Scott Cawthon (Five Nights at Freddy), Extremely OK Games (TowerFall, Celeste) or The Fullbright Company (Gone Home) to mention a few.

Amazing. Thanks for the link dude!

Not one day too early. I hope that the US uses its power to influence and actively encourage the rest of the world in a fair way to really tackle the climate crises.

This is one of the best landing pages ever because it sells the products with minimal UI, and decades after its inception, it renders perfectly fine.

You really believe that she got deported over what probably amounted to a tiny income?

Why do you give so much valuable headspace to HN? In the scheme of things, it's mostly irrelevant and impotent. There are more fruitful grounds if you seek allies in your climate change work.

Then be prepared to pay 10x the IKEA price.

This isn't about individuals but one of hundreds of thousands of political organizations that rely on Facebook for their political work.

"About 2.2% of Japan's total legal resident population are foreign citizens" [0]

"Japanese people make up 98.1%, Chinese 0.5%, Korean 0.4%, and other 1% (includes Filipino, Vietnamese, and Brazilian) of people living in Japan, according to the CIA World Handbook" [1]

So Japan is exactly as ethnically homogenous as you would think.

I feel like native desktop development has stagnated a lot in the past 10 years. But Electron and other frameworks have enabled hundreds of desktop software that are basically web tech based.

That's a terrible example and your biases are showing.

They would just launch their own crypto, allowing them to gamify their teams for all eternity.

Let them run the term to the ground so it loses all meaning and we can start speaking plainly about plain things.

Don't! That's creating a paper trail AGAINST yourself.

Because they are lazy, incompetent and indifferent. But they might be against a very powerful and public group of people who can sue them out of existence, so maybe that will scare other health providers into better security practices.

The Mandalorian has restored the faith in the future of the franchise in millions of fans. Most of us thought Star Wars was over considering how mediocre the last six movies have been but along comes this well-written, fun adventure that manages to tie together the previous movies, animated series and books. Imagine a new trilogy made by Filoni and Favreau - they would absolutely kill it.

How is that even possible? You would have to order every single meal you eat...

The hypothesis that both China and Cuba used the same weapon targeting US diplomats seems incredibly unlikely.

The public needs to truly learn how to wear masks, which masks to wear, etc. I bet you the efficient of, say, cloth masks is super low due to the fact that people wear them incorrectly, don't wash them properly, keep touching them, etc.

The reason why Google Fonts is so popular and provided through countless of CMS, plugins and hosted site builders is because it's super easy to embed.
