Weather is exactly the reason that my family (just outside of NYC) still keeps a landline around.

Theres also the big blackout from a few years ago that hasn't really been forgotten. If you were to ask, I bet it would come up more often than you might think.
You do realize that the Wayland came from devs working for Red Hat right?

Didn't think so.
Feminists and "social justice people" certainly share some of the blame in not effectively communicating their points of view.

But they're not completely (or perhaps even largely) to blame. What most people know about feminism and "social justice" comes not from feminists or "social justice people", but from the media.

That's probably why the poster's friend off-handedly and contemptuously dismissed her concern. There's a ton of conservative and reactionary backlash against both feminism and social justice in the largely conservative-dominated media in the US.

So it's really not that surprising that expressing concern about these issues would garner such a negative response. It is sad, however.
The most common argument is that it increases CPU usage on the server, though Google debunked that somewhere.
The larger and more important issue is the utter contempt for feminism (which, at its best simply strives to have women be treated no worse than men), and the contempt for "social justice people" (ie. people who actually care about justice for everyone).

Like it or not, many people who self-describe as feminists are actually seeking a privileged position for women. Many people who self-describe as seeking "social justice" are actually far left wing extremists pushing fairly radical proposals. Extremists in these groups tend to use minor offenses as a club to tar their political opponents [1], and the rest of the world is treating the entire group as the boy who cried wolf.

It's hardly an issue restricted to feminists or social justice types. The Tea Party faces similar issues - they didn't immediately kick the racists out when they started and now the entire movement is viewed as racist.

[1] I don't think the author of this blog post is necessarily one of them. She is just a young kid who took the rhetoric of her tribe too seriously.

By the way, why the double post?
As seriously troubling as the explicit approval of non-neutral wireless internet is, the good thing is that the ISPs' old standby line that "the market will punish a provider that unfairly discriminates" actually applies here. Unlike the ISP business, where, in many residential markets, there is no market, there are still several choices for mobile internet in most markets.

If my AT&T DSL suddenly starts throttling Netflix, I don't have a whole lot of options apart from moving. If my AT&T 3G starts throttling Netflix (let's imagine for a moment that Netflix is watchable over 3G), I have a few options: I can wait until my contract is over and switch then, I can pay an ETF and switch now, and chances are, there are two or three other viable competitors in my market once I'm off contract. And none of these can just silently start throttling either, per the transparency requirement.

Of course, the dangers are still there: The market could decide together to start throttling and dealing, some more carrier mergers could sweet-talk their way past the SEC, and a highly un-neutral net could become yet another stifling fact of life in the US wireless market.
I'm arguing that the obsession with making flying safer and safer by strip searching people is insane.
With this you are a click away from getting that information since the widget links to your accounts and that allows the person to seek exactly what they want to (like maybe the last 5 questions you answered on SO).
Probably one of these two:

2) Arc, the language HN is written in, doesn't support SSL/HTTPS

>There is no need for passive aggressiveness. I get that aping the exact phrase used in a parent comment is used to communicate disrespect, and it's duly noted, but all things being equal I would prefer not to go down that route.

What passive aggresiveness and/or disrespect?

The repeat is used to communicate disagreement with a specific thing attributed to what I said. Since it was attributed twice, with no regard to the arguments I made, it was mostly necessary.

If anything is "passive agressive" is this sudden ad-hominen and armchair psychology attempt.

I only responded to the abstract issue under discussion, didn't made any judgements on the participants. Can we keep it at that level?

The allegations were thrown out by every court they got brought to and by conservative judges as well. It's a farce and you're the sheep getting fleeced.
I'm not following you, what's the link with BLM?

BLM is a response to (repeated) racist murders from the state and general systemic discriminations.
Yesterday's riots were a response to losing a democratic election.

It's hard not to see why one is legitimate and the other isn't.
>Unless you're directly attacking others or posting really hateful stuff, getting banned will first involve some kind of escalation and very often also one or more moderators asking to tone it down or disengage.

Sometimes it will and oftentimes it won't. Again, this is my actual experience, and the experience of many others. If it comforts you to believe that I probably deserved it somehow, that I have to affirm my lived experience over your baseline skepticism, then it's not worth my time to try to shake you from that sort of complacency.

For example, as I relayed elsewhere on this thread, I was recently banned on a travel forum when a discussion of traveling during COVID arose and I took the position that it wasn't obviously selfish/ignorant to travel if officials in all the relevant jurisdictions approved of it. For this I was simply permanently banned, and my modmail inquiries were ignored. Now if you want to assume that I must've laced my posts with racial slurs or whatever I'll tell you that that's wrong but I'm not going to be able to prove it to you. But this is just how things work on many parts of Reddit.
See eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscar_L%C3%B3pez_Rivera (off the top of my head, there are probably others).
yeah, that was the best part. The gift also came with her own first set of (non toy) screwdrivers so she was pretty excited about building it.

I see a cop get pushed over then helped up by someone in a MAGA hat. I also see some scrumming with the police which is assault. I still don't see any weapons or any use of weapons on police. This scene doesn't look all too different than scenes we've been witness to for the last 6 months since June with protestors clashing with police.

I mentioned this in a sibling comment.

I don't believe that this interpretation of OP is very charitable.

Regardless of the politics of undocumented immigrants, you have to account for how you are going to service these people. This group is currently living outside of the system.

To combat COVID19, we need them to participate inside of this system.

This isn't actually a bad thing to point out and it SUPPORTS the "undocumented immigrants" cause.

We can't keep pretending that they don't live IN this society.

Acknowledging that as it stands, they can't economically or politically participate in the system is not the same thing as advocating for them to be removed or punished.

If anything, it acknowledges that the current system doesn't work and needs to be re-worked to include this group of people.

Again, 10M people are unable to participate in a productive treatment or cure. This will ensure that we all fail to contain and mitigate this disaster.
Based on your tone, it sounds like you've already made up your mind. But in the case that you're asking in good faith: the idea behind the mantras is that it is a meaningless sound that preoccupies the language part of your brain without giving it an actual concept to think about. When you repeat and focus on the mantra in this way, the process of meditation feels more like falling asleep (this is what they mean when they say "effortless"). I found this technique far easier and more effective than any other type of mediation. There is no reason you could not look up a mantra (or come up with your own) and practice this technique for free.

TM does charge a fee, which I found reasonable for 90 minutes of 1-on-1 instruction, 4 evenings of classes, and lifetime access to any TM center worldwide. They also have a sliding scale and many opportunities for scholarships. They will tell you that 1-on-1 instruction is integral to the learning process. I did mindfulness meditation for 3 years before switching to TM, and the value I got from the instruction was to simplify my natural tendency to over-complicate these processes (don't think, do). The instruction was absolutely necessary for me, but it very likely would not be necessary for a subset of people.

I understand the inclination to dismiss it as a pyramid scheme or a cult, as the latter was my hangup to trying TM sooner. My opinion: if it is a cult, then it's a bottom-up cult (in that the source of its cult-ness is the obsession of the followers, rather than as the intent from the top). This is very similar to my experience at a Tony Robbins 4 day event; the two days with Robbins were life-changing and _phenomenal_, but the days without him were so bad that I walked out. I tried talking to other attendees about the qualitative difference, but literally nobody was having it, and some of them even got aggressive with me. However off-putting bad sessions and rabid followers may be, it does not change the efficacy, meaning, and power of the experience I had.

TM has a free 90-minute class that I encourage everyone to check out, once we're out of this mess.

Im coming to this realization right now, it looks like one of these cliche but actually profound ideas like you can truly be great at something if its not simply job or career but something you can not not do, obsession, sickness.
> The other party misses out on all your social cues and tells, which probably makes the exchange feel less vulnerable.

This is precisely why Tinder never worked out for me. Not seeing someone truly react to what your saying, just the filtered reply to it. Every conversation felt stale and awkward.

I have a contact high up in a Gesundheitsamt. While I can not give out any information I was asked not to divulge, I am happy to answer any questions. Please note that top level decisions are decided in small rooms and acted upon very quickly (Federal->Land, 2 hours lead time), so no way I can know anything time critical before everyone knows it.

The touch screen aspect is just one thing. At least in my car (2018 Seat Leon, i.e. VW group) the connection is very unstable, it doesn't retry on it's own, then sometimes there's no sound, sometimes there's no picture, then sometimes it reboots. All with a good USB cable. Starting the connection almost always takes 2-3 attempts. I'm guessing bad timeouts in the software.

It's highly distracting when you have bad UX and bad programming. And good software quality can't be legislated, in my experience at least the more regulation there is the worse the SW gets, because it gets written by bureaucrats, not software minded people.
Single- or multi-player? I'm thinking of figuring out why https://evolvingstory.juliablewis.com/ keeps crashing, cleaning it up and open-sourcing it. Also thinking of rewriting it using a different event system.
> You accommodate that by not doing that because you’re not an idiot.

There's no need to be abusive.

> It’s like asking “why do you need static analysis tools when at any point in time your RAM bit can flip and now you need to model that, too”.

It's not like that, because your language semantic model doesn't include random bit flips, so you can ignore that as hardware failure.

But your language semantic model does include redefining methods on a concurrent thread. So you need to handle that.

Otherwise you aren't statically typing Python, you're statically typing a new language that looks a bit like Python, but really is something else.
I'm shocked; I saw a talk or two he did in Vancouver, and really enjoyed that he tackled deeper technical topics. He's too young to have passed away.
If I'm not mistaken, you define introvert/extrovert by personal preference. e.g. when you need to recharge your batteries, would you rather be hanging out with 20 people, or alone on a walk?

What you described was your path to developing social skills, which is great.

I am an extremely social person. Many different groups of friends, very social at work, love going out and am always up for just about anything. I know I am an introvert because I need alone time in order to recharge.
I have a Kyobo tablet with a Mirasol display, and while it is vastly underpowered and less than 6 inch display it's still pretty good for watching video on YouTube etc. in full sunlight. The only real drawback of the display is that whites can look silvery depending on how it, you, and the sun are angled.

What isn't clear from the article is if the wireless channels were encrypted or not. Right now they're just using brute force to flood the channel which is going to cut off the panel from the sensor(s) regardless.

I cannot see an easy way to mitigate this. Even if it has anti-jam it is going to just shift the frequencies which you could also likely jam. I guess the panel could increase its output power to try and compensate, but all that does is increase the equipment cost of an attacker, not really stop it completely.

So I guess the main take-away from this is to go wired, not wireless for security system installs. However it is unclear if security systems really do much of anything anyway (as police often ignore home alarm calls as they're more often than not false alarms).

You're better off just spending the money on higher fencing with trellis skirting, motion flood lighting, and fake signs that say "protected by FakeCo Security." It won't cost you $30/month for the rest of your natural life and offers the same deterrent.

Most smash & grabs are 10 minute affairs. Some robbers will happily continue to rob with an alarm going off, since they know the response time won't be close to 10 minutes.
That's pretty much me too. I briefly thought they had a major Kubernetes fail recently, but they immediately diagnosed the issue and got back to us...We'd shot ourselves in the foot. I love DigitalOcean.
If we're going to go back in time to talk about Hoffa era unions why stop there, companies used to prefer gunning down their striking/organizing employees with Pinkerton agents rather than give benefits of any kind.

With a union there's some democratic influence. You're only option for changing the company is to leave if you're anywhere below VP level.
It hasn't gotten better. I had to plead with a postmaster at a large ISP to unblock my droplet because they banned all DO's IPs after they were refusing to manage the way spammers were abusing the service. Not a "we're sending to spam" ban but a hard 550 connection refused. The postmaster suggested I do some Googling on the topic and I was shocked at what I found, so I can see why they had to throw their hands up and block the lot.

I appreciate it's not easy problem but it's clear the community felt they were being ignored and DigitalOcean did nothing to try and limit the spread. For example, moving to a model like other providers have where you need to request permission to send mail from support.

Agreed. My use case is personal, but wanting to setup things and have them continue to just keep working, rather than having to tinker when they break. Last Raspbian failure was the files missing from /boot (old ones removed, new ones not put in place). Couldn't figure out the root cause.

I'm thinking of going to NixOS. The filesystem will still be mutating, but in a much more atomic way. And if a host does die, I can easily rebuild an image from another host and pave over its whole sd card.

The most robust way would be the embedded approach of two static flash partitions (update each one alternately), a separate partition for config, and another for mutable state. Alas that's more development work than I want to do for personal projects.
Why is one group (union activists) allowed to take such action but the other group isn't? I am not sure I see anything "scummy" in this.
We will be releasing specifications and reference designs for the Expansion Card system under a permissive license. We want to make it easy for both other companies and members of the community to develop their own cards and sell them through the Framework Marketplace. That is something we'll be detailing and sharing between now and the time we start shipping out the product. We'll also provide documentation around internal interfaces, though those will be more technically challenging for an individual to be able to build something with.

It’s bad for any discussion involving wages since your earnings need to go up by more than CPI to tread water, in popular areas.

Teaching and nursing, which iirc are dominated by women, also have serious stress and burnout while paying less than tech.

You can pick up a 50 W solar panel pretty cheap nowadays so compared to the cost of the laptop that's nothing. Hopefully its battery will charge up enough on the extra 11 W to last during the night.
I was thinking about this just the other day. Fixed subsidy per resident, and we see how far that gets you. The subsidy we have now is not a small thing. Even ignoring the cross subsidies intrinsic in build out requirements, we directly subsidize rural wired service to the tune of $4.5 billion per year via taxing long distance voice service. That's as much as TMobile spends on CapEx every year to build out an LTE network avaible to 200 million mostly urban customers.
So he clarified by saying.... it'll be the dominant platform. But he likes his iPhone.

I don't really understand what the argument is here. A year ago we could have tried to guess whether Android would have taken off or not, but the fact is that Android-based phones are already massively outselling iPhones and BlackBerrys and nothing Apple or RIM have up their sleeves is likely to change that.

The reason is very simple - Apple offers a one-size-fits-all solution and one size doesn't fit all. I like large-screen phones, but Steve jobs says 3.5 is large enough. Do I force myself to like what Jobs likes, or just go and buy something I like? Examples like this are endless: Don't like iTunes? Don't like the boring icon-grid screen on the iphone? Annoyed by pop-up notifications? Think Swype is better the a conventional keyboard? Well it doesn't matter. It's Apple's way or the highway, and a lot of people are taking the highway.
Drones can help?
You actually have to be really careful to design a language that's both useful and not Turing-complete. Regular expressions are one example of such a language, but they are not strong enough for templating.
I mean, it's really just a case of being back to the good ol' days when Macs had PowerPC (or before then, m68k) processors. So if anything, I'd expect more success with this in the long run than with commodity x86 hardware, since it's a more-or-less new architecture rather than having to adapt an existing architecture to Apple-specific oddities.

But yeah, short-term there's a bit of a barrier to entry. Once it's overcome, though, this might be what pushes me to voluntarily buy any piece of Apple hardware made after 2007.
