I have no idea what you're trying to say with these questions if it's not to be snarky, so I'm not going to answer them.

All I'm saying is that it's not productive to say that people are "brainwashed" into thinking they have rights.

People in the US have certain rights, and we have mechanisms to enforce those rights when they are broken. It's not perfect. It never will be.

It's extremely snarky to look down on those who "passionately discuss and debate" the topic.
Recognising that the majority of software life is in maintenance, there's a case for [more] readable > [perfectly] correct.
So, in the 1980s...any dick or joe could walk off the street and demand air time on NBC nightly news?

Because, the platforms given to people today expand the voice/reach of everyday citizens unlike anything in history, but with great power comes great responsibility.

I can tweet something that could become a "meme" or reach a lot of people as an everyday citizen, it's more rare for a non-blue-checkmark account, but it's possible. I've had reddit posts with > 2k upvotes...

Show me how any of this platform/reach was accessible in the 1980's, this is progress and it's also grey murky waters. People should absolutely NOT be allowed to share stuff that is just propaganda and without facts/statistics.

I saw a funny meme the other day that said basically: Stop trying to use stats and facts to argue with "liberals", those don't work anymore they're all doctored by the left... or maybe just maybe -- there aren't facts and stats that support a world-view that's so out of touch with reality the numbers can't even be slightly fubared to appear reasonable.
I don't understand why it's so important for them to open source their server-side code? Even with an open-source codebase, surely they could still be running something completely different on the server-side, and we'd be none the wiser?
We had plenty of senior engineers, they were busy doing senior engineering things!

Sometimes not knowing something is supposed to be hard is what makes that hard thing possible to do.
Right, as with other complicated low level systems, Android sees an annoying but seemingly unending stream of bugs that would be either impossible or unlikely if you used Rust.

I expect replacing low-level C++ with Rust to result in improved platform reliability as well as reduced security bugs.

For every weird memory safety bug that is usefully exploitable there are a hundred more that just mysteriously break things and may be very difficult for a human to spot. My WebAuthn tests broke on my Pixel 2 on Saturday, I spent about an hour trying to debug the problem, wondering why it was happening now but not before and why it didn't affect other platforms - then I rebooted the phone and it went from reporting a "NotReadableError" about the secure local storage to just working.
But Goodreads is that, it has a to-read and have-read list.
Well clearly not since they are a publicly traded company and have received millions in venture capital.
Don't underestimate the number of successful adults who treat their finances / business as a toy
> we culturally value results more than process to achieve them

Frankly, that was not my impression from American management or institutions. The most important was rule following, then appearance of effort, results largely unimportant.
Sorry... people ‘should’ be done with them, but that is my bias towards security.

Your email is probably linked with just about everything you do. I would suggest you ensure it has a 16 character random password with 2 factor auth. If someone gets in, they own everything so treat it accordingly.

Also, what apps beyond banking or health do you log out of?
Yes.

Some things are obviously bugs, especially the chained line break problem.

Bur the semicolons config they added back in the days just baffled me.
Being prepared to defend against and then defeat an intelligent, organised enemy with a strong industrial base requires the maintenance of an incredibly expensive logistical apparatus with massive stockpiles of reserve materiel and operating capacity.

This is one of the few respects in which military wastefulness is useful, since those capabilities are repurposable for zero-sum games played against nature.
oh wait I didn't mean to say that we were trusting experts in the past and we won't in the future

more that we'll ask a lot of questions about it. when are we trusting them, when should we, are governing bodies making proper space for experts

I think most people in their personal lives don't have access to good expert advisors, maybe outside medicine & car mechanics, maybe not even there

I think every citizen in the Five Eyes network (AUS/NZ/CAN/UK/US) should send letters to their elected official highlighting how concerned we are on the issue of privacy. I'm based in Canada, and I'm already drafting an email to my MP. I just don't think people can sit back at all now.
This is how every web-of-trust and key-continuity scheme works; it's why you get a fingerprint the first time you connect to an SSH server, and why people publish their PGP fingerprints on their business cards.

Agreed, for the most part. Having closures in the language can really take away the repetitiveness of writing delegate protocols and conforming to them. I wonder if they will full absolve the need for delegates?
Did anyone else find it queer how at the end of the article the USPS and Internet were referred to as open source?
Perhaps it is because there is a separate substance called the soul that is affected by these ailments, and since it is not a biological system is unaffected by our biological methods.

A popular idea? No. Fits the evidence well? Yes.
That is one way of putting it.

The other way of putting it is that you are arguing about things that you may not fully understand, or perhaps you are not able to put your ideas into words that others can understand.

You are right, I have given up on understanding what you meant. I will look forward to the proof of concept.
You are correct in your second guess: why managed funds. And I am tempted to agree with you. It just seems like eventually the truth would out and, what essentially amounts to a scam would stop being able to attract customers.
Exactly. I can access Github without any problems as well (in Mumbai).

I tried my home wifi, office wifi and Vodafone 3g and it worked from all of these.

In fact, today I can even use Vimeo and Weeby which were blocked until yesterday.
And sadly, it seems the same with JS. Year 2015:

I get your sentiment and agree with the post, but this seems elitist. You can fall in and out of love with things and people. That doesn't mean you didn't or don't really love them.
Behind that stellar job interview were weeks of preparation. Behind that unforgettable 2 hour movie were millions of hours of work. Behind that elegant half hour piano performance were tens thousands hours of practice. Things you see look easy. They only look easy because the people behind them spent so much effort on it. It's not an excuse; People just know so little about something that they fail to see how much effort it takes to master it; And only because they couldn't do it of the bat, they say its "talent".
Maybe people realize that bitcoin's $28 USD transaction fee means that people will never use it for anything except speculation, and that without more than a few KB/s of transaction throughput the promise will never pay off.

To answer your second question: the sense of freedom, peace, and comfort.
The Stutz building is a former auto factory in downtown Indianapolis that is now an office complex. Stutz is another Indiana luxury car manufacturer from around the same time as Duesenbergs. Last I knew, Turner Woodard [0] is the owner. Back in the 2000's Mr. Woodard had his extensive auto collection housed in that complex, including Duesenbergs, Stutz Bearcats, and memorably, a 1920's Reo Speedwagon fire engine.

My point is this, if you can get in contact with his people, you are likely to find experts in maintaining those old cars. I definitely remember watching Duesenbergs used in parades when I was growing up.

> As a rank-and-file millennial, in most of the cases you are priced out of property ownership, are expected to do your shitty job until death, and you starting a family would be directly directly against your employer's interests.

That would not be against your employer's interests, because companies need customers to exist. Doesn't everyone know what Ford did there?

In highly-corporatist Japan your boss will personally find you a wife if you don't have one, and will give you a raise if you have kids.
I don't know if a Wendy's is a fair comparison. I've heard those wet markets are kind of problematic for hosting pathogens especially. Personnally I'd find it coming from a wet market or a lab to both be just as iresponsible. In the latter you were trying to research possible new virus mutations to learn more about viruses and had poor containment procedures that leaked it out. In the former you run a unsanitary market with animals and people in too close proximity, with lack of proper hygiene.
Everything that people believed in the past is not wrong. They were right about a lot of stuff, some of which we consider common sense that isn't worth talking about (car accidents are bad for your health) and others of which are now considered controversial (skeumorphic buttons are a good way to distinguish clickable from nonclickable UI).

I expect that a lot of things that I now believe will be proven wrong. I have no idea which of those things it will be.
You asked for examples why skepticism is warranted. These are examples.

Web standards are designed in the open with input from other browser vendors among other things. Increasingly often Safari and Firefox object to specs developed by Chrome and flat out refuse to implement them.

Chrome goes ahead, implements and releases them anyway.

The visible reaction from the wider community? From nothing to saying that other browsers should keep up with Google.

Edit: Forgot to mention: Google also disproportionately dominates the standards processes. The majority of specs and proposals across multiple working groups come from and are pushed through by Google.
And on that note, Tanner has put together a bunch of example CodeSandboxes for the various features [0] . For our own app, I basically copied most of the default rendering logic from those, applied styles to match the rest of our app, and we've been adding some additional APIs to the grid from there to suit our needs.

Many. I’m on a K-8 school board and the #1 technology ask from the teachers is Chromebooks.

They like iPads up to around grade 2-3. After that, the keyboard makes the kids more productive.

Windows requires too much IT overhead and Mac is too difficult to do business with and expensive.

The real magic of Chrome is the management suite. It’s dirt cheap for .edu and works fantastic. Chrome devices on a cart are reconfigured by the time the cart is rolled into a different classroom.

It’s way too expensive for commercial customers though.
If your narrative was true, why wouldn’t drivers quit in droves?

My retired dad drives an Uber. He built a spreadsheet and did the math on car deterioration and gas costs and is happy with the result. If Uber is exploiting anything, it’s idle labor.

I don’t own any Uber or Lyft stock. I think worker owned apps could potentially hurt Ubers market share if the drivers collectively push them and prices are at least 20% cheaper or faster.
It only applies to businesses, not government, of course. My question is, if they are collecting $50 million per year, why are my fees still so damn high? I already pay over $1,000 per year to register my family's three cars, and to put my name in their database. Now they are collecting money from selling this information.
You might not lose your job, but you may see your hours reduced or you might not get the opportunity in the first place. Technically the employment numbers don't change, but you shouldn't think of of minimum wage employees like salaried employees. Minimum wage earners can lose fractional percentages of their jobs unlike salaried employees.

Most proponents of raising the minimum wage cite the Card & Krueger paper which has aged quite poorly. It turns out that chain fast food restaurants are a poor proxy for the minimum wage labor market. If you want to know the most up to date data backed perspective on the minimum wage, look to the Seattle minimum wage study.[0][1] In short, the benefits of raising the minimum wage go to experienced workers at the expense of inexperienced workers.

We know that price controls don't work. Having a minimum wage limits the freedom to negotiate the value of your labor at a rate that you'd be willing to take. Instead of a wage that they are willing to accept you force them to have a wage of zero. I don't believe there are any situations where people are better off when a third party eliminates economic opportunities for them.

The national minimum wage should be zero, as is the case in countries like Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Singapore. You could also argue that the minimum wage is unconstitutional considering the history of supreme court decisions on the issue.[2]

I've been running my own mail server for about 15 years now. Getting it set up is a fair bit of work. The hardest part is just deciding how you want things configured. It has been pretty much hands-off for ten years now. Dealing with spam has been the biggest annoyance, but even that hasn't been too horrible, and it forced me to learn how to write milters. I pay for commercial hosting so my mail comes from a "reputable" IP address. I once got blacklisted by Spamhaus because I accidentally enabled an open relay, but that was easy enough to fix and it hasn't happened since.

AMA if you decide to take this on, I'm happy to help.
Inflation is good for an ECONOMY because it ensures that currency is not sitting on the side lines, but being actively invested wherever possible. ...so the velocity of money is increased, and hence volatility is decreased.

The negative impacts of volatility on the economy are very well documented.

Inflation has zero impact on a household as long as their savings are kept in assets other than cash.
The LLVM issue was addressed in LLVM in https://reviews.llvm.org/D64757 and https://reviews.llvm.org/D64759.

Those haven't been released in Android yet, but they should be in the next quarterly release of Android. My understanding from chatting with the Android team is that though this is a weakened mitigation, it is not an exploit.
Crossover is used on my kid's computers for Office.
There's another way to look at this though:

"When I think about the successful, interesting people I have known in my life, they all have garbage in their houses."

In other words, perhaps complexity is an unavoidable byproduct of productivity, but the successful keep it under a manageable threshold.
Candor works because people crave it.

Why? Because they get so little of it right now.

If more people were perfectly honest with their customers, they would stop craving it so much, and they would turn to wanting businesses to be polite and thoughtful instead. (Not that they don't want this now, but candor is craved a little more.)

I'm not saying to lie to your customers. I'm never happy to have been lied to, no matter how often I get the truth. But it's worth noting that businesses respond to the market, and that's why you see shifts in things like return policies and honesty.
Is there one person on Hacker News that will write a heartfelt comment in support of drug prohibition? I don't think there is but am prepared to be surprised.

Otherwise, what is this post doing here? What are we learning from it? Is this just an opportunity for us to bicker about Obama vs. Bush vs. Ron Paul?
wow, when you put it like that it kinda makes sense!
No need to debate. I'm perfectly aware that real life is far too complex to boil down to simple slogans like "Government should be big/small" or "People should/shouldn't have the right to _____."

My observation is that the image or brand presented to the outside world is contradictory, not that there's anything amiss in how you choose to govern yourselves.
Sorry folks - that was really a rhetorical question directed at the grandparent.
It wasn't a wide release by any means for sure but the IdeaPad 330-15ICN existed mostly for educational markets but was even sold Chinese retail.
They understand that, and have been making changes to the website accordingly.
Argh it was indeed Django, I was on mobile and it must have been autocorrected.
See the map on page 7 (PDF page 9) of the GSMA report "Access to Mobile Services
and Proof of Identity 2020": https://www.gsma.com/mobilefordevelopment/wp-content/uploads...

To get counts, I also analyzed the table in the annex; it lists exactly 200 countries (checking each of them, that's because in addition to 193 UN members, it includes two non-member countries: Kosovo and Taiwan, and five other non-countries: French Guiana, Greenland, Hong Kong, Macao, Svalbard).

Of these, 34 are listed as "SIM registration not mandated" and further 7 are listed as "SIM registration under consideration", the rest are "SIM registration mandated", i.e. 159 countries.

Basically the whole world requires it except for North America/UK and a few smaller countries mostly in Europe. Also notable that countries without ID requirement mostly happen to be the ones with very low prepaid SIM penetration (see the map on page 6 [page 8 of the PDF]) so their unidentified SIM usage is presumably low anyway, though it remains a possibility in those countries.

Edit: Sorry, 6 are listed as "State of SIM registration inconclusive" which I have missed, so "SIM registration mandated" count should be 153.
I think most of the people missed my point. I didn't say commuting was a productive time, but it doesn't have to be a complete waste either. Sure, some days people are groggy or feel like zoning out on the commute, cool. But I feel like if 100% of the days are like that, and you actively complain about it...there is something that can change.
Yes. Talk to your local representatives
Seems like a solid argument for a switch to use go's minimal version selection

the version selected during a build is the one with the most minimal version that satisfies all other constraints. this means if you have libA that needs dep>=1.1 and libB that needs dep>=1.3, you get dep=1.3 even if dep1.9 is out. your build never changes because of a new version release, as long as they release with proper semantic versioning. if you later include libC that needs dep>=1.8, you'll get that version. but because you changed your immediate dependencies, not due to a surprise down the dependency line.

Can someone clarify for an old school CSS person is confused (me). What is the point of doing this:

<div class="md:top-[-113px]">

Instead of this:

<div class="md" style="top: -113px">

Why would you want to inline your overrides directly in the class names instead of just using style?
I wonder how the output compares to modern fortran compilers.
> Which is precisely the point of the old "money does not buy happiness" adage, isn't it ?

Not the way I read it, really. If money doesn't buy happiness, then the graph should be completely flat right? Or at the very least a uniformly distributed scatter plot? But it doesn't really seem to look that way. While I suspect that there's some truth to the adage, it's definitely not absolute.

> Science that says "This 1000ths gallon of water is gonna be as good as worthless" seems to favor the point rather than oppose it.

That's not the point. The point is that as you have more of a thing, it takes more to move the needle. EVERYTHING has decreasing marginal utility, and money does too. But I don't think the marginal utility of money ever becomes zero, or goes negative. Do you think that? If so, please start sending me your money so that you can be happier!

Here's a great example for you. Raises are nearly always percentages right? Why not just give everyone a $100 a year raise? I mean, that $100 is supposed to be the same to everyone, isn't it? 10% more money increases your happiness approximately the same, no matter what number that 10% increase is applied to.

> As for your graphs, what I was saying is precisely that, unless you've been trained to read graphs (and most people are not), you're going to be "fooled" more easily by the second one, won't you ?

I think that if you want to understand the way a system works across many orders of magnitude the only way to do so without fooling yourself is to look at a log/log plot. If you don't, only the most extreme change on the plot shows up and all the rest gets compressed into a "straight" line by the vagaries of turning an infinitely variable thing into a finite set of pixels.
Anecdotal. But when I was young I suffered from intense ear-aches. Eventually my Mom capitulated to my Grandmothers suggestion and put garlic cloves in olive oil and poured into my ear. Within a few hours of treatment those ear-aches would disappear completely.

Years later I researched and found out about allicin and its presence in freshly crushed garlic.

In fact there are now theories that many of the cooking practices of "marinating in crushed garlic" was just as much to do about anti-bacterial effects as culinary.
It would cast a shadow of doubt over any and all evidence that these now discredited agents were involved in collecting and any testimony they made or influenced.
+1 for -F. Note that --follow and --retry are gnuisms, while -F works on most implementations of tail (even though it's not part of POSIX).
I didn't realize they doubled as both iterables and observables. Being able to pass a value in is a useful trick, although it looks a bit annoying to forward passed in values *due to error/return requiring try-catch shenanigans).
Ulbricht can still appeal on this basis, no?
While I don't think it's the case, I do think it would be a brilliant strategy. The NYT article on the Iran negotiations seems rather helpful to the US, but nothing that could ever be said officially (especially the positions of other nations).
If any of that data is HUMINT it is quite easy to put lives in danger.
This is what I started with as well (a versions from several years ago).
