I agree with that lack of vision is hard on these countries, but I think lack of vision is the status quo of the current political landscape experience.

What these countries needed was political and ideological stability, some time to deal with the experienced trauma, and to find the value of basic human rights on their own. However time doesn’t stand still and as a reactionary movement to social media (which increased fragmentation), migrant crisis and Islam hysteria + LBGTQ going mainstream went the “traditions and the past” route. I don’t care if these issues are “real” or “make sense”, but ask around here and these are the 3 main ones everyone will point to when asked why we are where we are. And for the ex soviet block “traditions and the past” route can mean both voting for ex-communist and for the pro-fascist options. On some deeper level they are not that far apart for us (I live in one of the countries you mentioned here).

We can see that old democracies are struggling hard due to the same challenges, and the post-soviet block does not have the goodwill of its people to go through it. In general distrust, insecurities, and fear due to Russia is very strong here, people are still in many ways rigid and not very open to new ideas. There is this feeling while being surrounded by western ideas and media that we need a lot of catching up to do, but no one is interested in how someone else is hurt while being hurt themselves. Due to the fact that West is struggling just as hard a lot of people here don’t see the point in following in its footsteps, it just does not seem appealing or logical. That is where the lack of vision of the west fucks ex-soviet block as well. And we try the old “traditions route” because we don’t know anything better.
Unemployment is the number of people actively looking for work but not finding it. Such people wouldn't be counted in it.

You are not pissed off, you are burned out.

When all the people around you are fine and you can't cope with the environment, it's time to look for professional help, for your sake.
Oh thanks! Appreciated.
If there were reasonably priced tools like this then I'd definitely pay for them. But this tool is still "contact us for pricing". I contacted UndoDB for pricing a while ago and the minimum was $50k. :/

"Welch faulted SpaceX for assuming its experience launching other Falcon 9 rockets would suffice to be certified, and not expecting to have to resolve any issues at all."

That sounds unbelievable to me, like one of those findings of issues that come out of a review that is given to parties that have done very little actually wrong --but something is needed as a sop so the other guy doesn't feel picked on. I cannot imagine that SpaceX went into a review expecting no issues or feedback, I can easily imagine them hitting the roof when a list of 400 issues came back.
I know that sounds secure, but it's no more secure than just an irc server anywhere out here.

But the funny thing about all of this is there are already voice comms and chat comms clients out here in spades. The game industry created them. No need to go to IRC. Just use a more modern comms setup. I have a private mumble server myself.
is there anything that slack does you can't do with skype?

I find lot of these new startups are just creative ways of reinventing the wheel and convincing you need it to appear cool & hip....kind of like fashion for high schoolers

I would argue the assumption that there will be another World War to be won and not some major and many minor "Insurgencies" against the NWO is flawed.

I can imagine Apple adding a social media free option to IOS which by default disables anything like Instagram or FB from being installed.

Yes OP didn't provide hard numbers or citations, but countering a broad statistical claim with small scale empirical evidence is always besides the point. It tries to weaken the original claim without actually contradicting it at all.

OP didn't try to refrain people from providing opposing views or evidence that actually contradict his statements, he just asked to avoid that common fallacy.
Okay but that literally isn't a social convention that holds in the UK.
Is the UK’s population that old? 60% of adults, but 0% of those under 50 without conditions? Those statistics surprise me.

Thanks for sharing that! What a great dive into the particulars—way beyond my music theory knowledge, but still accessible.
>With someone's number you can very easily get a rough idea of where they live. I can imagine the living hell this creates for Domestic Violence survivors and others escaping bad situations.

Wait until you learn we used to collect everyone's name and phone number and often even their address in big books that just anyone could read. You could even have them delivered to your doorstep.
Yes, I did foreign qualification in my home state right after incorporation.
I'm bootstrapping it but took the Delaware C Corp approach mainly because of the potential QSBS exit. Thanks for the advice.
Correct. The problem is there's virtually nothing that actually benefits from those things. A strong case case could be made for a truly decentralized global currency and maybe smart-contracts, but not "a store of value" or "revolutionizing supply chain bookkeeping".
I agree with almost everything you say.

> there are enough scholarships, programs, and free resources that almost anyone who is even somewhat motivated

This might be the hinge upon which we could pivot though. Does everyone really have the at-home internet access, quiet location to focus for 60-90 minutes at a time, with a desk, screen, and keyboard such that adding a Raspberry Pi is enough to get started? I can literally reach out and touch my 2 27" monitors, my work laptop, my personal computer, a KVM switch, and a Mac for each of my primary-school age kids, each with their own 27" 4K monitor, keyboard, chair, etc. That, coupled with my career as a model of what "normal" is, makes it a lot more likely that they'll end up in computing than the average Cambridge, MA schoolkid.

I don't think anything of what I described is "intrinsic" to them. If that's the case, there's chance for intervention to beneficially change things (rather than simply over-riding intrinsic preferences, which I think is bad.)

> and not socio-economically crushed at the onset

This is another one, of course, partially touched on above, and definitely inter-related.
About (2), I've extensively used HTTP.jl and am pretty happy with it. I don't know about exact differences to e.g. requests, but I've found it sufficient for my uses.

Regarding (3), there's a daily CI job called "PkgEval" (which also runs before a new release is made) checking for regressions of julia vs. all registered packages, seeing if any break. This identifies misuse of internal APIs (which are allowed to break under semver) and actually breaking changes (which are then either undone or the packages are fixed). Additionally, you can [compat] bound julia itself in the Project.toml of your code.

Those two combined should mak sure you don't have to rewrite your code. All 1.x versions are backwards compatible after all.
I have to wonder if the NYT piece had much traction at all outside of the few internet communities who knew it was coming. The piece is not great, but ironically that’s what propelled it to widespread popularity. With a single article, the NYT writer managed to steal the focus of an entire community and get his otherwise uninteresting article spread far and wide across the internet. More clicks for him.

That said, I do think there is plenty of room for criticism of internet rationalist communities. There are a lot of people riding the coattails of blogs like SSC to use rationalism as a tool to lend credibility to their flawed assumptions.

However, the audience for criticisms of rationalist communities is very small. Self-described rationalists seem interested on contrarian takes about everything but themselves.
Absolutely, and also it opens up a whole host of other questions that are similarly intrusive:

- I have a family with children. Should I get paid more than an employee who lives alone?
- I have a big house that has a large mortgage. Should I get paid more than an employee who lives in a cheap apartment?
- I have purchased a yacht that requires maintenance. Should I get paid more than an employee who hasn't?

Sure, the last one is ridiculous, but honestly, they're _all_ ridiculous. The idea that your employer should be able to look at your expenses and judge which ones are valid and which ones aren't, and then adjust your pay
"appropriately" is offensive on a deep level.
Hang in there. We once had a bug "PRODUCT IMAGE TURNS INTO A DOG" due to some code that kept falling back to an embarrassing placeholder.

amazing!
I can’t answer that question, because there is no dependable, verifiable factual data, On Chinese recovery whatsoever. It has already been established that nothing can be trusted coming from the government, and since the news is owned by the government, and only broadcast with the government approves, absolutely everything that comes out of China should be taken with a grain of salt. The only thing that can be ascertained is observational,
While I see your point, I think there are two important things to remember here. (Note: I understand the long term implications of an interplanetary species, just providing context)

A) whatsapp improves the daily lives of hundreds of millions of people. You don't necessarily need an absurd customer lifetime value to get a $19b valuation with that many people using your product.

B) SpaceX provides almost no current value to anybody. And the people it does provide value to are "free riders" in the sense that they love watching space travel and get to watch SpaceX regardless of whether or not they pay for it.

Just an inexact thought experiment. Let's say we poll the roughly 1b people living in first world, and ask them each to pay $10 to see SpaceX do whatever SpaceX does. How many people even think it's worth $10?
Hey crikli, could you send an email to support@showoff.io with any extra details that seem relevant? We'd love to track this down!

Calling them 'stupid' for blowing themselves up will not detract from the glamour. They will just claim that you don't 'get it' because you are not a Muslim.

At the very least, you should be quoting the Quran to prove to them that they shouldn't be suicide bombers. Save that, proving that suicide bombers are not devout religious soldiers will destroy the persona they the bombers feel that they will have with the rest of the Muslim world after they are dead and gone.
Exactly. If the video was about inventory shrinkage and was titled "Be Less Black"
they would have (rightfully so) been sued out of existence.

Racists exists in every human group, and they're predominately non-white outside the West. e.g Groups like Boku Haram are anti-White racists in Africa.
See my sibling comment's edit. "I make no pretense at being a bitcoin expert" can mean both "I don't claim to be a bitcoin expert" and "I am an authentic bitcoin expert" depending on context.
Yes, the M1 now includes some components that were previously only counted in M2:

> This suggests that the rapid acceleration in M1 since May 2020 is mainly from money moving out of the non-M1 components of M2 into M1, rather than reflecting any acceleration in the demand for transaction balances.

The chart looks shocking without context, but it’s also very misleading without the context.

> And resume trade as normal.

In 25 years what does china's demography look like? And who is making their food (the bulk of the youth lives in the city)? It's possible that china will force it's citizens to labor as agriculturists, but that guts your export productivity.
Are you really including the humanities with beer pong, selfies and Netflix?
Speaking as someone who runs several sites which cater to several demographics, you are very correct.
Animated WebPs also can do that but significantly better. And they are supported by all browsers now.

I'm just trying to show that any gender based argument is pretty broad and sort of ridiculous (hence use of the word genitals, to show how absurd the argument is..)
How do you suggest companies which don't need binpacking run their workloads, and is it really that much simpler than using k8s?

If you need automated deployments, centralized logging, autoscaling, etc which many teams do, then you're going to be dealing with a bunch of complexity anyway.
Good point on the 30 international games.
There are too many things to list, but one that I'm quite proud of is how the courts have legalized homosexuality recently. Granted it's way overdue, but you can see that it was widely appreciated, except for Christian and Muslim institutions, which is to be expected anyway. Sure, you might not have the same level of governance that you see in a first world country. But it's changing, and ever so fast. You only have to be in India and watch the news to observe it.
No I didn't enter the competition

Why did they put the SD card slot on the back?
Their claim to be the most energy efficient desktop seems a bit unlikely, since you can get computers that are basically Atom netbooks in desktop form.

They footnote it with "Claim based on energy efficiency categories and products listed within the EPA ENERGY STAR 5.0 database as of June 2010" but I don't really know what that means.
"And the worst part? These gigs do next to nothing for your resume. I worked with college graduates stuck in such positions, graduates with decent and hard degrees. One year turns into two, two into three, three into five...and before they know it, they've worked these shitty gigs long enough that their degrees start to lose value. But you gotta pay rent each and every month, so what can you do?"

Its not only this, its also the fact that the way your employer abuses you begins to over time subconsciously convince you that this is normal and that you deserve this kind of treatment. This is one of the great tragedies of how unnecessarily cruel modern work is in the US for most people, it forms people into the smallest version of themselves possible. This has happened to me and countless people I have known and you can say "well just snap out of it, make your life better" but when you face a job that grinds you down everyday that isn't necessarily a psychological regime a lot of people can escape. It is similar (but not equivalent, I am not trying to down play abuse here) to the way that from the outside it looks absurd how people get trapped in abusive relationships with partners.
My ex was career military, so I am familiar with the fact that they do this sort of thing. It is one reason I take it seriously as a potential educational medium: The military has some very solid practices, in part because lives are stake. Similarly, lives are stake with health issues.

I am not really thinking in terms of how molecules interact. I am thinking in terms of how to convey the means to avoid exposure to germs/toxins/etc and also how to convey the subtle cumulative impacts of dietary choices. I think many people prefer pills to dietary changes because the difference a pill makes is readily recognizable whereas dietary impacts are far subtler and easily overlooked, thus not really taken seriously by many people. I've made substantial changes in my body chemistry, in part by micromanaging my diet. This has (apparently -- by observation) made changes in things most people think can't be changed. They need a more explicit mental model and I need a more information dense means to convey my ideas and experiences. The written word on my website is just not adequate to the job.
Could this have anything to do with the recent data breach?
Usually vendor lock-in actually amounts to "smart and well paid people think of clever, evil, but technically legal ways to make it as difficult as possible to leave the ecosystem".
Yes. Jeff Bezos is an unsung hero and has done more to help the poor than anyone. Without him, there would be massive unemployment and an underclass riddled with social problems like opiate addiction and spousal abuse.
Any decent language that wants devs to be able to reason about operators and types would throw a TypeError here.

Shitty languages will cause devs to have to purchase books entitled "ShittyLanguage: The Non-Shitty Parts", wherein chapter 8 talks about "avoid using the subtraction operator because of ambiguous precedence, transitivity, and coercion rules; instead use jQuery.minus()."
I had put popular in italics. ;)

It’s not popular here on HN, but in the rest of the world it surely is.

That's how we got PHP, Javascript, Visual Basic, MySQL (before version 5), Mongo.

You'd think that at some point we'd understand that there's way more morons out there than sensible people.
Even after reading the article, I still believe, in general, more sleep is better for you. I'll continue to strive for 8 hours a night. I would still assume the majority of Americans aren't getting enough sleep.

Maybe this does help the feelings of "If I don't get enough sleep I am going to die young" that some may come away with after reading the book. Overall, I'd still recommend the book.

Also, who is "Big Sleep" that is mentioned at the end of the article? Mattress companies?
> Sadly, Microsoft still does not provide guidance or necessary APIs to desktop app developers (e.g. those primarily using .NET, Win32, WPF, WinForms, etc) to implement Fluent Design elements/controls.

I feel like the guidance is clear enough at this point: migrate to WinUI 3. If you can't migrate your app "all the way" to UWP today, you can use XAML Islands in Win32 apps and embed UWP/WinUI XAML in places that are appropriate. Some common WinUI controls that you might want to use have easy to find wrappers on NuGet to do most of the XAML Island magic for you for WPF and WinForms applications.
> Heck, I don't have PTSD but I don't particularly like seeing sexual violence in movies or television shows and more than once I wish I had been warned about it ahead of time.

Related to that, a lot of people prefer watching certain genres such as action, romance, sports, sci-fi, comedy, etc... If it's ok to inform people they're about to watch an Adam Sandler romcom then I don't see what's so bad about informing people they're about to encounter triggering content.
Sounds like a good time to create a honeypot deepfakes service. Could charge a handsome fee for it, too, then authenticate deepfakes funded by political parties.
Can you imagine? Workers and citizens owning critical local infrastructure instead of shareholders? The horror!

Seriously though, there are efforts like this already in the UK as a non-profit [1], and they are crushing it. You don't need private ownership to bring about innovation. You need a healthy attitude towards trying unconventional methods, and constrained resources doesn't hurt.

I've always asked it in this sort of style and don't remember anyone ever having a problem with it, and as the author points out, it's critical for your evaluation of the risk of the startup, which is necessary for you to price yourself, set your expectations, etc.

Asking this shows interest in the company, asking "How long can you guarantee that you can pay my salary?" sends a very bad signal of among other things risk aversion. The employees of startup have to have a healthy appetite for risk....
I agree, would be a great feature.

Windows Vista/7 help, as the audio mixer lets you adjust volumes or mute individual applications, but it's not as useful as a built-in browser setting (for example the browser doesn't show up in the Mixer until after it's started playing the sound, so you can't pre-emptively adjust it).
But still there is a need by some VC to optimize this.

In Ben Horowitz blog he says:

"When my partner Marc wrote his post describing our firm, the most controversial component of our investment strategy was our preference for founding CEOs. The conventional wisdom says a startup CEO should make way for a professional CEO once the company has achieved product-market fit. In this post, I describe why we prefer to fund companies whose founder will run the company as its CEO."

http://bhorowitz.com/2010/04/28/why-we-prefer-founding-ceos/
Dated: 04/28/10

To you and me this is clear cut but for some VC the wisdom would say to get a Professional. The first thing that came to my mind when I read it was why change a good thing?

I didn't have any data for backing keeping the founding CEO but without data I think the maxim serves as a good heuristic.
>in practice we agree to a system that strikes a balance between death and convenience

Not necessarily. Being unable to travel also causes deaths. Even if you value lives infinitely higher than convenience itself, you end up in a similar spot.
