I don't know the industry that well, but do use Fusion 360 and am annoyed by them. I think they have this problem where people that make money by doing CAD use Solidworks, and so only hobbyists want their products, and hobbyists don't have any money. Thus they are having to tighten the screws on hobbyists to stay in business, and it just doesn't work, because like I said... hobbyists don't have any money. You can't get blood from a stone, no matter how hard you try.

I have been tempted to buy it, honestly, but it's a little bit too expensive. I use it for 3D printing, not milling, so I don't feel like I should have to pay for those features. So instead, I am gritting my teeth for the day that I have to jump to some open-source CAD tool, which will be annoying to relearn, but ultimately probably not a big deal after I pick what to use.
Journalism is quite different in that most journalists don't make all that much. Also credentialing isn't nearly as big a factor. In fact, a lot of people in the industry look down on J-schools. The common career path among the non-freelance journalists I know at more prestigious publications is knocking around trade pubs and (at least formerly) small city papers before getting their break. (But, yes, connections matter too.)

Perhaps you're terrible at understanding. I'm not trying to be insulting, I just don't think it's something that can be explained to someone who hasn't tripped.

For what it's worth everything she described made me think "yup, I know exactly what you mean".
I run a startup providing inventory services to automotive dealerships and make use of the eVox product. Great images.

That being said I would be very careful how your licensing contract is worded with them. You don't want to get burned and most everything in our space is charged on a dealership by dealership basis.

The idea itself is interesting and I like anything that disrupts our industry. Keep working on it and feel free to reach out if you'd like.
While I'm not an autotools fan by far, after reading through the linked post, I could only cover my face with my palm. There's quite a few things he lists as autotools shortcomings that's not it's own fault, but that of badly written configure.ac or Makefile.ams.

Basically, at least half of the problems he lists, is due to badly written configure.ac/Makefile.am, and not an issue with autotools themselves. Cmake lets one do stupid things aswell - it is no better in that regard.

Not to mention that some of the suggestions are downright unportable to non-GNU systems.
Those photos are gorgeous. I made http://autoridge.com and I had a lot of trouble finding good vehicle photos. I ended up using the Flickr API to pull in photos for both the website and the mobile app. Most of the resulting pictures are good, some are seemingly random or mis-labeled, but none of them are anywhere near the quality of what you have there.
My post was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and was kind of a lighthearted commentary on DRM and the state of content.

Nonetheless, your argument (correct me if I'm wrong) is essentially that The Internet will automagically preserve all content, the way to decode it and reproduce it in the way it was originally intended to be consumed - forever.

The implication in my post was that the internet won't last forever, that civilizations come and go, and maybe with the end of our civilization the internet will be lost, and with it the key to decoding all this information. I understand that the devices themselves will or already have the capability to preserve the data forever (for all practical purposes), but this is akin to being on a deserted island and saying you have 8 million songs on your iPod, but no earphones to play them with. On top of that, imagine that you go through all the trouble of figuring out how to make earphones from raw materials you find on this island, figuring out how the plug is supposed to work, how to charge the battery - only to find out that the songs are all crap.
I can imagine reading a linear text is quite unobtrusive on a Kindle. I got one for my mother and she loves it. The display on it is really crisp, it's light, and she has access to a vast library of books.

I still cannot fathom owning one.

Digital media has a lot of social issues to work out. A book doesn't come with a TOS or EULA. The media the story comes on doesn't require a special licensed reader from the book store. It doesn't come crippled with DRM and anti-circumvention laws.

(And as far as books are concerned, e-readers are crap for anything but linear text as far as I'm concerned.)

That being said, the majority of my media is digital these days. I even buy pure digital copies of my console games. It's very convenient, but as an investment it's practically worthless. The formats for this stuff are not universal and require special hardware to use them. I've bought Super Mario Bros. 3 at least 4 or 5 times in my life. I still have my copy of the Lord of the Rings that I've read 4 or 5 times in my life and it required no special hardware or work arounds. I wouldn't have to have bought that game so many times if emulators and backups were fully legal.

The technology is awesome. We're just not ready as a society yet to commit to it.
> No, I'm not saying it's correlated with worse outcomes.

You said it leads to "You end up with a kid who is really bored in school and not using the time to build good study and homework habits."

That's what I've been pushing back against. Perhaps in your personal anecdote it did, but I don't think it's fair to say that parents should discourage their kids from reading early because they'll get bored in school and do worse.

I don't think there's any evidence that your personal "downsides" are necessarily the norm in any way, or that they are worse than the "downsides" of a kid who takes their time learning to read (which can also exist).

I agree that there's no evidence that there's an advantage, but you've certainly been saying that there are disadvantages, and I don't agree that those are much beyond anecdotes.
There is a huge difference between organized crime and government.

Governments have predictable, well defined fee structures that can be budgeted for by businesses.

Services are delivered in a, mostly, timely fashion, or at least on some sort of predictable schedule. Many government agencies actually give out time tables for responses, people may not be happy with those time tables, but timelines are provided[1].

Organized crime makes no such guarantee. Pay once, and they can come around and ask again. Once a mark always a mark.

Governments provide stability. The next person in charge is probably not going to change things too much. Taxes aren't going to be raised too much, and changes to taxes aren't going to happen without input from constitutions.

Also the use of force is limited by laws set forth. If you own a bar next to the mayor's son's house and play music too loud, you may get a fine. And that fine may be delivered a bit faster than if your bar wasn't located next to the mayor's son's house.

But your bar won't be burnt down. You won't have your kneecaps smashed in. Your car tires won't be slashed.

This limitation of force is both a legal contract and a social contract. When the social contract is broken, mass protests take place, and steps are taken to reinforce that social contract. The BLM protests and the efforts to establish more community orientated outreach and justice programs are recent examples of this.\

[1] My local department of licensing guarantees how long it takes to mail out new license tabs, my city hall has a timeline for how long building blueprint requests take. Even many federal services have wait time estimates that they try to adhere to. People only complain when government doesn't work, but by and large it does work!
Anecdotally, my experience with Brazil has been great health care in the private hospitals. Not so much in the public...
It is humbling and also rather difficult to get one's head around.

However, when you consider the observable universe is 96bn light-years across and contains hundreds of billions of galaxies, and the observable universe is very likely only a small part of the universe beyond then incredibly unlikely-sounding things will happen all the time somewhere and some when.

It's amazing we know so much considering most of our knowledge about the universe has arisen in the last c.300 years.

Someone wrote on HN on the current FSD beta:

1) wow this is not ready for prime time at all

2) wow I'm astonished what they've accomplished so far without lidar

Both of which are true, based on multiple views of FSD beta so far.

If it is 90% accurate (and probably 99% accurate for time driven vs a human), that is pretty bad/unacceptable from a statistics, safety, and human comparison

But 99% accuracy may show a path to five-nines or whatever is needed to replace a human. I honestly don't know if it does. I can't sit here and say "no way" since it did identify bicycles and pedestrians and lanes and curbs and lines.

Do you mean that you didn't sign up for the Careers service because you felt you had revealed damaging information about yourself

That's a big part of it, yeah.

potentially still edit some of that revealing information

Not really. I think the questions existence is damaging enough. The only way to get rid of it is to delete it, but I'm an inclusionist, and the question is bound to help someone down the line. I'm sort of alright with its existence now, it's a part of my past that will always be there so I shouldn't be trying to hide it.

change the username associated with the question

It doesn't work like that. I sort of wish you could dissociate yourself from certain things on that site, but you can't. I'd have to create a whole new account.

In the end it doesn't matter. I just did a search for Canada jobs on Careers.SO and it only gave me 8 responses, four of which were American jobs located close to the border. Careers offers basically nothing to be, and certainly not enough to justify paying for it.
I always took that to mean "we are not doing the Big Rewrite."
It would depend on where you are from in the UK, and how close you are to a distribution point. In London, it is generally between next day and a week at worst, for some items. I expect this situation to change over the coming weeks. However, grouping things into a single delivery and only ordering essentials is of supreme importance right now, in order to give everyone a chance.

>> 1. Lots of businesses would fail, and we would experience another great depression.

We need a great depression. Every depression brings new opportunities.

Have you considered the other side of the story? There are many people who have been locked out of opportunities (especially millennial) and who have been struggling to start or grow their own businesses for a whole decade because they could not compete against corporate monopolies. The failure of these corporations would be a huge opportunity for them.

>> 2. You don't like populism now? The risks of outright fascism (beyond what you could say we already are experiencing) would go up exponentially.

It's better to have fascism officially if that means everyone will be subject to the same rules and same level of hardship.

I suspect the NSA doesn't care too much about bang-for-buck.

Bang-for-buck is pretty much the name of the game in brute-force cracking. You're right that NSA probably doesn't have any budget constraints, but they'd still be interested in getting the most hashes/second possible out of $10 million.
Wonderful Link.

I think you just lowered USA's GDP.
I think this totally depends on the business you are running. If you have outside investors, I think they will for the most part dislike the idea of a percentage of income going outside of the business.

Plus, if your business requires capital to be reinvested in order to fund growth, that's where your cash flow should go.

In most cases, all your focus should be on growing your business because chances are that will allow you to donate and have a positive impact on the world if it's able to survive and make you wealthy.

There are a few cases where I could see your idea working out though:

I've analyzed some mostly family owned businesses with very low capital requirements. For example, there is one that builds a special component for aircrafts. Each year, the business generates about $800K in free cash flow. All that does is pile up on their balance sheet. In a normal company, the shareholders would ask for a dividend, but in this case, the family could donate that annual $800K in FCF with no problem.

There's also a European hedge fund, The Children's Investment Fund, that donates 0.5% of their assets to charity or $30M a year since they run $6B.

> I would expect this from the third world country I came from, where actors win elections because they play likable characters in movies, but not here in the US.

In that case, I'm going to have to disappoint you about American politics by mentioning Ronald Reagan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jerry Springer, Clint Eastwood, Howard Stern, Shirley Temple, Al Franken & co. were all both. I guess I'm less sure about the "likable characters" part, and at least one of those failed to actually get elected (but became an ambassador instead), but even so, I'm only mentioning the more famous ones.

There are quite a few more:

I’ll try :)

Toy example:

You are offered the opportunity to play a game of chance. The house draws one card from a standard, fair, deck. Number cards win their face value in $, jack/queen/king/ace wins $20/$25/$30/$100 respectively. Assuming each dollar you win has the same utility to you, what is the largest amount you should be willing to pay to enter the game?

Expected value = expected win - cost; anything which makes the EV positive is worth playing

Expected win = $(100+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9+10+20+25+30) * 4 / 52 = $17.61 (and a bit)

But most people get more utility from their first dollar than from their 1000th, so: if your net worth is $100k and the utility of money to you is sqrt(dollars), how does this change? I’m still learning this one on brilliant.org right now; I think it works out as:

EV = mean of EVs of all possible outcomes, each outcome being sqrt(100000 - cost to play + result of that win)

What if you are in a sketchy casino and you’re not confident the game is fair? If there’s a 10% chance the game is rigged and will force you to draw a 2, now what is the fair price to play the game?

Same idea, but now weight the results by the chances; 10% chance of a $2 return, 90% chance of previous result.

I don’t play poker; what little I do know is that it is a hidden information game where in order to win you have to attempt to infer the other player’s hands relative to your own, and that this is a game of skill rather than pure guesswork.
I like that I can scale the video as I want. Like on a news-site the only options are often a small inline viewer or full screen. So I use PIP often for that even though I'm staying on the page.

And it's just more convenient than trying to maximize the space of another browser window and making it stay put above other stuff. No extra chrome, no wasted inline space on the page. I can just take a Blender tutorial for instance and move directly above my Blender window and it obscures as little as possible.

What about a RAID 1 setup (mirrored). If a hard drive dies, you just have to schedule a swap out, which shouldn't take that long, and you could schedule during a lull in your usual traffic.

That would just defend against an abrupt hard drive failure, and is probably the cheapest short term solution unless you want to mirror a second server or on-demand cloud hosting. I run a large vbulletin server, and in my most recent server upgrade, I've configured my attachment server in this config for that reason.
Carbs are fine if you're active, and even necessary if you are very active (cyclists, for example, understand this pretty well). But this is the problem, I guess. We are expected to build diets on which sedentary people can get by.
This is barely above junk. Most strikingly, there is no data that shows trends prior to the introduction of the helmet law. Therefore there is no model for comparing the before and after scenario to the "do nothing scenario", which is what you care about.

There are good, well-known, well-understood methods for handling all the problems with this paper, but since the author hasn't used any of them this work does not do more than incrementally increase the plausibility of the proposition that "Helmet laws make cycling less safe".
You are correct that the basic premise is that cycling laws cause problems. Unfortunately, there is no data or analysis that would tend more than incrementally toward that conclusion.
> rationalists are kind of adrift in real life due to the great unpersoning of religion and its replacement with woke or trumpian politics

Interesting point. It's a collectivist religion for people who despise "religion" and "collectivism"
There is a fair amount of stuff in Paul's first letter to Timothy that talks about who should be leaders in the church, as in deacons or elders. They should be people above reproach and so on.

You can interpret this directive or similar to mean that only the oh-so-holy are the public face of the church. The forgiveness of Peter at the end of John's gospel might be another case. I don't think it's a good interpretation, but it's not so far from the truth.

It could really depend on the group and the church. At least for me, the two things most likely to launch me into ministry (used broadly) are discipleship and small groups.

And it could depend on the church's stance toward the culture and the world. There are many possible positions, as in Niebuhr's "Christ and Culture". If you believe the pop culture is full of filth and you are called to be outside of it, you will get a very different sense of the church's mission toward non-Christian people, or even toward Christians who are closer to the pop culture.

(edit: took an extra h out of Niebuhr)

Looks to me like a fantastic startup opportunity - outside of a google groups format.

I'd love to bootstrap something like this, but I'm too busy at the moment.
Sure it was used--as a credible deterrent.
It will be also a big blow for individual freedoms worldwide.

When those of us who survive will look back at it, they won't be able to ignore the fact that sending police to beat up people at a few mass gathering on beaches and streets, and then putting military out to enforce quarantine measures, would result in exponentially less loss of life and damage to the economy.
I think this is the right aproach to bring all the cool ideas together and let them be evaluated. Ventilation is from what i know traditionally a lucrative nieche business by a few player who cannot easily ramp up production even if governments pour money into it now.
> check the crowds at a Temple like Tirupati

Why? Unless one is a devotee, the hours of queing up and jostling with crowds really don't payoff. Also, non-Hindus are required to sign an affadavit declaring their faith in the presiding deity before entering the temple.

I second your other recomendations.

Thank you! This is the first time I've written a GUI. It was clear to me from reading a lot of examples online that you can get lost in the weeds really quickly if you don't have some sort of system for organizing everything. There are just so many variables needed, and the program flow is so much less linear than what I'm used to.

I respectfully disagree that the siege of a national symbol, at the heart of a nation, is a harmless act. This was a substantial threat to democracy as we know it. That a Senate in session is forced to seek refuge due to safety concerns is nothing but dangerous and harmful to the very fabric of societ. If just a few of those 'protestors' had had slightly more nefarious intent the outcome could have been very different.
From personal experience, i can suggest;

* RFCs on IPSec.

* ITU Recommendation on H.323 Protocol for Packet Based Multimedia Systems.

* The NIST documentations on FIPS and the various Crypto algorithms.

The first two are an "umbrella" of protocols and thus the specifications go from overview to extremely detailed in a very nice step-by-step manner. The third one shows you how to specify detailed and complicated algorithms.

Writing good Specifications is extremely demanding! But this is the only way to really understand the Domain.
