If you're going to get a liberal arts degree, either have enough money to afford it, or be so intensely interested in the liberal arts that you're willing to pay back your damn loans. There's no human right to be educated in something useless at no expense to yourself, and I say that as someone with a BA in philosophy.
I can relate to that. I sweat even in the most comfortable temperature and environment for no reason at all. I love to eat spicy food, but I can't eat spicy stuff as often as I want because it will look like I just took a shower.
what's really disgusting is that she spent $100,000 on such a useless degree

maybe she should suck up her pride and take a night job at Fedex, McDonalds, Starbucks, etc. to pay that off.
This woman has some major balls to blame her shitty choice in a major and subsequent debt on other people.

She made a poor choice and she needs to pay for it. This is a systemic problem and the only way to cure it is to enforce personal responsibility.
MiraclePlus offers $200,000 for 5%, is the OG YCombinator gonna match that?
>Because the market for desktop Linux applications is too small to be worth considering. //

If MS Office were available for Linux the market for Linux applications would grow, massively IMO (assuming it worked properly). Which is of course a reason MS wouldn't do that, because why move MS Office users to Linux when you're currently selling $Billions of OS to people who only want to use MS Office.

Same. I'm 40 and if the reviews are good I will get a VR headset just to play this.
Almost everyone who's selling a real device, in my experience. It's pretty standard to disable firmware reads in embedded cpu products.
If the changes are so bad and the maintainers are ignoring proper concerns why not use one of the forks?
Nazis are not in fact people for the purposes of discussion. They are movie extras who get shot as fast as possible.

You really had to go full Godwin dehumanization on a billion people right away?
I guess we could host sites on phones now too. That'd be really cool.
I remember the hype around VRML when it first became a thing. It really was the same kind of hype surrounding the metaverse today. Turns out that doing most things in virtual 3D space is less efficient than just presenting them in flat 2D. The false belief is that more dimensions = better. Now this belief has materialized again as Zuck’s new baby, and I’m confident it will find the same end.
Oh, I can see that this is going to be a new rabbit hole for me, and likely to last a long time.

Thanks!
Who prevents you from telling anything if others don't exist? But I did not think you mean it literally, to be honest, I thought you meant allowing/disallowing construction in one's neighborhood. If other people did not exist you could just as easily allow and disallow construction, could not you?
Maybe people had these conditions before they caught COVID and didn't get their checkups until they sought COVID treatment because it was too expensive, they don't trust the medical system, etc.

Maybe people are suffering from the added stressors related to isolation, job precarity, malaise, distrust in the members of society around them, being stuck at home with people they don't like or who actively harm them, etc.

Maybe the SARS-CoV-2 virus causes neurological issues when it inhabits the nervous system.

Could be any of these. The title can be easily misinterpreted as "COVID is the direct cause of everyone's issues" if the reader has a naive understanding of how people interact with healthcare based on pre-existing socioeconomic, etc. factors.

To be fair, the article body's language is careful to avoid a specific attribution, as I'm sure the people who ran the study were avoiding claiming such conclusions. But since only about 40% of people read past the headline this isn't doing anything to help the general collective trauma we are experiencing surrounding this pandemic.
And wifi. I have a little home server running FreeBSD, with an intel skylake processor from a few years ago. Wifi works out of the box. I haven’t tried Bluetooth but for my hardware, driver support has been fantastic.
It doesn't have /pascal, which has 1.4k members, what else is missing?
Tagged template literals can certainly be nice, but they basically require you to ship a parser to the browser, or introduce a complex build step, or give up the idea of doing vdom-like patched updates. (Not sure I see how web components fit into this discussion.)
The anxiety is really noticeable in some people. My cousin - early 50s in age - recovered from Covid in late 2020. One of the most “happy go lucky” men you will meet, but now sounds constantly anxious.
One year of quarantining may be a confounding factor. I hope we can get to the bottom of this.
First, Destiny describes himself as a "classical liberal", "hardcore capitalist", and "rule utilitarian." It's important to be specific, because the word "liberal" means different things in different contexts, and it is not always the same meaning as "progressive" or "leftist".

> he is expressing exacerbation that law enforcement is allowing chaos from one particular political faction.

You might read that from his comment, I believe that's one possible reading. Another is that he's encouraging additional chaos, literally calling for folks to be "mowed down" with his blessing.

> do you believe that bluechecks on Twitter who freely speak in similar terms about White people are actually advocating for the slaughter/genocide of Whites?

This is bait. It's also a distraction from the specific Destiny quote that was suspended on Twitch. Don't ask a leading question, state your thesis and provide specific evidence of it (E.g. "Twitch suspensions are applied unevenly for calls of violence, here are cases where the standards were inconsistent....")
The proper control group would be people with COVID who didn't go through the lockdowns.
I just realized I might have been guilty of that, too. In general, I try as best as I can to avoid these discussions as they seem counterproductive, but it's a bit more difficult regarding the recent RMS issue. This is Hacker News, and he is the hacker. Literally one of the main characters in Levy's famous book. And independently from valid criticism, he's now under flood of accusations, some of them being false. Not because I read something, but knowing RMS personally I know they are false. That's why it's sometimes hard to resist answering a comment or two. I really appreciate your work and I'm sorry if I cause any trouble by that.
Oh, wow, I'd never put the timeline together like that. Yes, that makes the 286 make much more sense!
don't read anything too technical into it, in this case they're just measuring production by the by-product to try and get a leading indicator on actual trade goods. This is macro-level stuff like changes to China's GDP that I would doubt is very actionable
We have 330 million people in US.

China has ramped their mask production to 200 million masks a day.

Had US government had the foresight and common sense to contract mask manufacturers to even produce half of what China is producing - let’s say 100 million masks, we could have had enough for everyone to have a mask in 3-4 days.

Universal masks for everyone (not only health care workers) together with hygiene protocol should be the way to “flatten the curve”. This would at the very least inhibit spread by those who have coronavirus but don’t know it yet (asymptomatic).

But instead, we’re having these mass shelter in place orders that are destroying our economy, killing businesses and destroying people’s livelihoods.

And I still haven’t heard of massive government contracts to mask manufacturers at the scale needed to provide masks for everyone.
The primary purpose of a filtering mask [is to protect the wearer][0]. They coincidentally protect the environment, too, [unless of course they have a built-in check valve][1]
that passes unfiltered air out of the mask.

If hospitals are faced with a massive influx of people suffering from COVID-19 in ways that require hospitalization, what do you think happens to the rest of medical care?

If 20% of the population are simultaneously suffering from "a bad flu", what do you think happens to supply chains?
Finally! I hope this company will be insanely successful. We need more companies like this focusing on repairability.
> Bitcoin, imho, is a clever way to redirect excess energy production into a trustless payments system.

It's utterly failed at that, because nobody actually cares about it as a payments system. People care about it as a speculative investment.

The more people care about it as a speculative investment, the worse it gets at being a payments system. We're seeing this today, as the costs of using bitcoin skyrocket, and the overwhelming majority of bitcoin transactions are sending it to and from fiat-to-bitcoin exchanges.
as someone who did windows device drivers a decade ago this so much - i took a example DDK driver and rewrote it entirely and the resulting performance gain was very noticeable. Not to mention at the time on the device side working around hardware bugs to take something from "yea it works" to "it works really really well!"

I just remember reading the fetch-macos script notes which said:

Contributing Back

This project can always use your help, time and attention.
I am looking for help (pull-requests!) with the following
work items:

* Create *full* installation (ISO) image without requiring
an existing macOS physical/virtual installation.

...

hmm... maybe they figured it out?
Why? It's not like it's broken.
Had a course on Unix, one of the assignments was to create shell with pipes. I was surprised how simple it was: just fork all the programs between the pipes and link the output of one to the input of the other.
The Metropolitan Police don't have jurisdiction on Capitol grounds. So perhaps they weren't allowed to do anything without the consent of the Capitol Police.
The MAGA flavored anarchists and nihilists who stormed the US Capitol Building will hopefully be brought up on as many felonies as possible, tried in court, and ideally spend some real time in a real jail. Even better if they can also track down organizers - who perhaps weren't there - and charge them with racketeering or sedition. It was evil and it needs to be halted.

I also think the same thing needs to happen to the antifa flavored anarchists we were witness to throughout the summer. The endless attacks on businesses (big and small), federal buildings, lawlessness, looting, storming police precints, portland city council buildings, and general destruction should also result in as many felonies as possible.

Both groups "think" that sheer muscle and raw emotionalism in the street is a legitimate way to bully your preferred changes through. It's the same evil mindset and it needs to be called out and punished regardless of what flag they appear to operate under.
Additionally (just skimming) three members received some medical issues:

> Following the exposure on 2 December 2001, all three patients exhibited in the first 24h symptoms of nausea, vomiting, asthenia (weakness), headaches and dizziness, followed by cutaneous radiation syndrome (CRS). These early clinical manifestations and anamnesis of the patients strongly indicated ARS of a haematological type for the three patients. Furthermore, Patient1-DN developed transitory oropharyngeal syndrome.

The last medical condition is usually found in older people, making swallowing difficult: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oropharyngeal_dysphagia

Also the PDF has some helpful pictures and diagrams. Looks like both original containers were nearly stacked and sideways on a rocky/hilly path, in a difficult to get to place.
The whole countries (Central, Latin americas) depends on these and they can't care less about privacy.

It's a non starter in certain regions.
Just because they failed doesn't make their goals any less true. There are interviews of them openly saying they want to hang every democrat and undo the stolen election.
In terms of engineering, permanent DST is pretty stupid. Instead we should use standard time but move one timezone over.

With DST all year long your timezone becomes UTC+N+1, this is needlessly verbose/overcomplicated.
I recommend PNC's Virtual Wallet actually. It's not quite as nice as what you're describing here, but the main interface is a calendar which shows upcoming bill payments, scheduled ACH transfers, checks you've written, and your paycheck. It uses that to calculate a free balance before your next paycheck. It also has tools to schedule automatic transfers between accounts (checking/spend, reserve, and savings).

Their landing page for the product is absolutely awful: https://www.pnc.com/en/personal-banking/virtual-wallet-overv...

You can see screenshots of at least the mobile version on the play store though: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pnc.ecomme...
Can Trump be arrested for treason on Jan 21st, after Biden is inaugurated?
I'm not aware of any BLM protesters being shot by police during the summer protests, so right off the bat, this is a really weird comment you've written. Shooting a protester in the head is already worse treatment, isn't it?
My sentiment too. I made something like $500 off crypto. Investing tiny bits over the years and cashing out after a few weeks, “this must be the peak!”

Sure I could be a millionaire if I HODL’d but so could anyone for a number of random investments. I’m glad I got anything.
Thanks Nicolas !
Not directly related but is there any sort of market for people to buy/sell devices that they've lost the password to but contain $x,000,000 worth of btc? I guess it would be impossible to verify it actually contained btc but maybe an interesting novelty to own nonetheless
> If BTC makes it so the aggregate demand in currencies is split partially from fiat into BTC itself, then it will be a great transfer of wealth from governments into BTC owners.

And will quickly be banned by said country.
So that's just a monitor.
> Since nobody knows how to reliably ship secure commercial software, liability will mostly have the effect of making it difficult to start new software businesses.

I think you would agree that having critical string parsing logic written in C and shipped in an opaque binary is both negligent and more dangerous than a reasonable person would expect. Traditional products liability claims focus on those kinds of questions: was there negligent conduct? is the product more dangerous than a reasonable person would expect?

Attaching some kind of liability is a good way to encourage the industry to settle on standards of non-negligent conduct. If you provide vendors an opt-out mechanism (e.g. disclose your source and there's no liability), it will not dramatically interfere with the cadence of development.

Common law is very well suited to establishing standards in a dynamic environment. It got us through the first industrial revolution.
Disagree very strongly.

Microsoft actively invites the user to offer something in return for sponsorship. They have features built into their sponsorship program to encourage that like the tiers and also documentation and examples on GitHub owned properties demonstrate examples of doing exactly that. Therefore Microsoft actively wants you or at least strongly suggests that this is what the user should do whilst at the same time making it impossible for the user to comply with national VAT laws because they withhold you the information and don't allow you to capture that information yourself and don't invoice correctly which is also done by Microsoft automatically.

Therefore Microsoft is actively evading VAT and actively pushing their own customers to evade VAT which is a double offence IMHO.
Really I just want Signal to play my messaging history off to just regular files.

I can plug those into Syncthing and have them head off to my server or whatever. Just document the format so I can decrypt them with some tool to recover them later.
Wow, I'd actually forgotten about that clawback, but damn, that was brutal.

Agreed. From an admittedly outsider perspective, the leadership of Zynga just seems to have exhibited a darkness at every turn.
> Why is it bothering you?

I'm not the OP, but it bothered me too. It goes against HN's general discussion style.
Not that I agree with the parent, but you're being disingenuous. The Americans, Sottish, French, and Irish are not actively trying to wreck the Internet, certain US Congress members notwithstanding. There's a difference between throwing someone out of your store because you don't like the look of them and throwing someone out of your store because they shit on the floor every time they come in.
You know, I wish I could believe that in the context of "aerospace" or "Defense Department". After working in aerospace in the mid-80s, I came to believe that certification was more about barrier-to-entry than anything else. Ever notice how the seat-belt buckles on passenger transport planes look like a 1948 design? They're certified, and it costs way too much to certify a new design or process. Sorry to be cynical, but I just don't believe the public justifications of "certified" any more.
If you want to see some really nice python, look at his "lamson" project. It's really nice.

The whiskey is rather good. I'm a scotch guy myself, otherwise I was considering even buying an entire small barrel of it for myself.

Their vodka seems to go above and beyond, and actually has flavor.
> his computer hard drive was confiscated, and he no longer has has a copy

That's a bit surprising. I have multiple copies (one offsite) of family pictures, code and documents. I don't think I would have only one copy of the log if I was the hacker guy.
Wired doesn't need to publish all of the logs -- just the bits that confirm some key assertions that Lamo made. The idea that they are restricted to publishing the whole thing, or nothing more than they already have is a false dichotomy.
They do free tours/tastings quite a bit, so definitely give it a shot.
This is very true. Beer in Europe is largely disappointing except for the obvious highlights from Belgium and Germany, which are pretty much all readily available from a good beer store in the US.
I asked the FB Engineers that were manning the Open Source booth at F8 today about this. They assured me that it wasn't a threat, or any change in ideology on their end as open source contributors. That they were also concerned with the community, and that their lawyers were looking into it currently. Not really an answer, but at least they awknowleged the criticisms.

I think it's more likely that more powerful batteries will allow more power-hungry electronics. This is already happening -- just look at the giant/high resolution screens of modern smartphones that would be unthinkable a few years ago due to inferior battery technology.
The only thing I disagree with here is the idea that assertiveness is uniquely or predominately associated with white men, and that it's a problem to be solved (that's how I read her, anyway.) To me, there are two problems to be solved here, the first is that women are uniquely punished for being assertive; the second is that, in my opinion, you need a mix of assertive and relatively unassertive people in your organization to accomplish the most, but being assertive will naturally get you more attention, money, etc, which can create an imbalance in staff rewards. So I would not say that the problem is assertiveness in any way whatsoever (insofar as you are not being abusive eg interrupting) but of mediating the two groups and assigning appropriate compensation for individual staffers' abilities.

I initially had a slightly defensive impression about the article, but I ended up agreeing with it.
Facebook to the right, Stallman to the left. When I write code, I use tools written by Stallman. When I communicate with friends and family, I use Facebook. There is no contradiction here: they are both useful, and useful is the yardstick by which reality judges memes.

"If 95% of the country assigns a meaning to a slang term, well, isn't that what defines it?" As much as I want to disagree, what's wrong with this viewpoint?

Depends on who you are, I guess. Not to conflate or compare the examples in any way, but consider: the ratio of blacks to whites in the US is close enough to the quoted comment's sphincterrific, if probably low, 95%. (It's actually 75:12, per Wikipedia; ~6:1 isn't quite 20:1, but it's still a pretty vast majority.) I can think of a word or three in that neighborhood where the majority's preferred meaning is, while perhaps not wrong, at least in the sense you use the term, not exactly what I'd call right, either.
Tried three different varieties of black foam that was the packing material for various electronics parts, and none of them conduct. Hrm.
I didn't say that. I'm running Windows on my primary machine and Mac OS on my office machines. Preview in particular doesn't do a very good job.
Seems like more of an active/passive thing.

Somebody at one of these places [...] asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You don't try. That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks you make a pet out of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski (via dalton)

It's an old idea. Someone at TED mentioned the muses not too long ago. Same idea. I agree with him in that sense, but, generally speaking, that doesn't mean you can't be very active preparing. Often, that's how I approach development.
> People who learn a language past the age of ~13 never achieve native-like phonological competence.

You're just making up tautologies. You'll find that people over the age of "~13" are not forced by their surroundings to commit 100% to learning a language. You'll also find differences between individuals.

> It's also pretty absurd to suggest that people ought to invest large amounts of time attempting to switch from one English accent to another

Never said ought, please stop putting words in my mouth.

> No need to apologize, I was just pointing out that it's offensive

Note that I wasn't apologizing for offending you, rather I was feeling sorry for you that you find offense in a statement which had no judgment in it.
