The reason why this wouldn't work is really interesting, actually.

Money has meaning in large part because of taxes; you need a certain amount of money because you owe the government. Since you need money to pay taxes (and therefore buy things, earn income, or own property) money has value.

In Ancient Rome, armies would enter conquered areas, carrying coins. Everyone in the conquered area was expected to pay a tax of (say) 20 coins to the army each year or face punishment.

The newly conquered citizens, then, had no choice but to find ways to get coins from these soldiers so that they could pay their taxes.

Farmers would trade food for these coins. Merchants would trade goods.

These coins suddenly had value.

If the soldiers suddenly stopped the taxation, do you think the coins would retain their value?
IME, the publisher provides extremely limited support to the academics who do this work (filter/select papers, recruit reviewers, organize reviews, etc). The professors involved are generally doing it as a public service to their field. The publisher provides modest amount of support and support staff, totally out of proportion to what they then charge for access.
The new rules are actually really good but infosys and other low tier h1b firms are pissed
This is ludicrous. Guidance is not law, and unclear laws are not to be interpreted at the discretion of the police. The notion that merely going outside on a walk far from others contributes non-negligibly to the risk of transmission is misconceived: unlike most prohibited activities, it would be fine if everyone were to do it.
I switched to Signal way before. And then Elon Musk recommended Signal to all and sundry on Twitter.

And then that got retweeted by Jack Dorsey. Now..I am a little worried. Do I want anything that has Jack’s paw prints on it. Since he and Zuckerberg turned up like creepy ideological twins at the senate hearings, I can’t tell them apart.

The first question on the Reddit AMA resonates. WhatsApp was great before FB bought that out. Who is to say it won’t repeat with Signal and someone else?
The exact words that Trump used in his speech on Wednesday morning was something along the lines of "we're going to march down to Congress and tell them what we think." By itself, that is not damning, and would (and should!) easily be protected speech.

However, context may tell a different story. It was known to anyone who follows Qanon conspiracy theories that Wednesday was one of the days of the predicted coup (of course, virtually every other milestone in the past two months have had the same prediction and came and passed without incident). It is totally reasonable to assume that some of the crowd at that rally were Qanon believers ready to participate in a coup, were listening for the magic words to start the coup, and took these words to be them. I actually expect some of the investigations to uncover people who followed this exact chain of events. In short, that people took his words to be an incitement to imminent lawless action is a conclusion that I expect to be substantiated by facts.

But even that is not enough to say that Trump fails the Brandenburg test (and this is why my personal legal knowledge starts getting shaky): it's not enough to say that people were incited; you have to demonstrate that Trump expected (or should have expected) that these people would be incited by those words. And... honestly? I'm not sure if that's the case. Given the knowledge of what happened later, it would now (to me) be willful ignorance to suppose those words would not be incitement, but I'm not sure I can say that the same is true merely hours before it happened.

On Wednesday night, I watched a livestream with several lawyers talking about what laws were and weren't broken [1] on Wednesday. When it comes to Trump's legal woes, the main phrase was "matter of first impression": no court has heard a similar enough case for there to be any guideline on how the facts and the law should be interpreted. Does it matter that it's the President saying these words? Does it matter that he is seeming to endorse attacks on another branch of government? There's no precedent... we don't know... and we can't predict.

[1] Definitely no treason, and it doesn't look like anything qualifies as felony murder in DC or federal law, although this was obviously before we knew a police officer died. Definitely sedition though!
I just found that the new dump of sources for 11.0.1 has a version of bash that doesn't #include <rootless.h>
Wasn't a protest, it was an attempt at a coup. And the president set the game to easy level.
Really, your Windows 7 runs TimeBroker service? There is over 20 services and tasks with sole purpose of supporting Metro/RT crapfest, something nobody asked for nor wants.
That's ridiculous. Stopping the images being viewed is much, much easier than calling the police on a public nuisance.

There are laws against car theft as well, but it's much easier to lock the car and set an alarm.

Yes, you've provided the most succinct and accurate explanation here. The root observation of this thought experiment revolves around properties of the l1 norm, and is an important set of concepts to understand property in implementing distance metric-oriented ML algorithms like k-means clustering.

I've been thinking about this a lot after I began working as a programmer. I think my ideas are pretty obvious and simplistic.

But after reading a bunch of books and blogs over the course of a couple of years. I have come to realize that stating the obvious is pretty hard. And only a few, will think of the obvious for the many.

Newton speculated about mass and gravity in the absence of knowledge or speculation of atomic interaction, and it's considered to be a scentific discovery... why couldn't the discovery of the effect of small particles of gold and silver in glass, and its practical application thereof, in the absence of knowledge of the electron behavior be any different?

Amazon is actively using their data collection on sales to determine where to get into the market, putting other sellers and manufacturers out of business. This isn't what I'd call "fair". I don't believe this is illegal but it certainly seems it should be.
These are interesting to see but framing it in terms of people helping to identify them seems kind of gimmicky. A box with dials and terminals on it could be almost anything and that's all that a lot of these pictures show. If they also posted pictures of the circuits inside then they would have a lot more of a chance of someone actually figuring it out.

I really want to learn C, like he says. I get plenty done without knowing it, and I have few doubts I can continue to find decent work without knowing it, but I haven't been able to gain any traction when I try to learn it.

I've got the books sitting front of me, and I've written some trivial visualizations of sorting algorithms using terminal output, but damn if I can find a way to use C as a web developer. If there were just some use case where C would help me get something done, I'd be all over it.
Having worked one of the top auto manufacturer websites from top to bottom, MPG and Seating are the next two things you need to add. Particularly right now, MPG is top of mind as gas prices are skyrocketing. And seating is always important. It helps to know whether you'll be able to fit your entire family.

Next comes trunk space and safety ratings. Can I fit what I need to given my particular lifestyle? Will I have a better chance of survival in a crash?

Awards help as well, such as Motor Trend or J.D. Powers. Those factor well into the decision-making.

Funny enough, random things like number of cup holders is a deciding factor some people. Will there be enough cup holders for everyone's drinks?

I like when people bring up Myers Briggs because it allows me quickly categorize them as "people who attach importance to personality types", and thereby make sweeping generalizations about them.
The built in batteries are indeed nice and I did like that aspect of the remote.

> and I can use the touchpad without finding the specific button in the dark.

Interesting! This goes to show how the same design feels so different to different users :)

I think I could've gotten used to the touchpad if I spent a lot more time with with the apple-tv/remote, but at the time it felt like a big regression. Compared to the roku remote, i'd lose a mute button, a headphone jack for private listening, and ended up with a touch heavy interface that was more frustrating than useful considering me and wife would pick it up the wrong way a lot. At the end of the day I decided to stick with a Roku and have something that doesn't frustrate my wife, instead of trying to get used to the remote just to have the apple tv interface :)
Whoever knows more personality type systems please share (no matter how credible or bizarre they are, just list). I bet I have seen at least at least one original brand personality type start-up presented here on HN some years ago and another brand new one advertised on Google+ when it was a thing. I have probably stumbled upon at least 6 or more but can't remember any other than MBTI, the Socionics, and the Enneagram. I'm very interested in this subject.
Agree completely, everything has to start from somewhere. Often it is a false start with nothing to gain. While MBTI was a small step, at least it was a forward step to better understanding vs the example you mentioned, "horoscopes", which past the fleeting interest into astronomy is just walking off a cliff into the void.

The js tooling is particularly immature, e.g. fake packages along with typo squatting is rife. Compare with boring old maven where that’s not been an issue in >10 years at this point.
That consent page is not compliant.
I know Python much better than I do rust or node, but I think the Python design decision was decent here: you can use different tools, but all of them should put the configuration in pyproject.toml. That file has fields which are universal and others which can depend on the exact tooling used. So build tools, repos and so on can get the info they need and at least potentially, do the right thing for code packages with different tools.
All trailing bytes and only trailing bytes are of the form 10xxxxxx. If you read such a byte you just have to iterate backwards until you find a non-trailing byte.
Signal and to a much greater degree WhatsApp is used all over the place where it has no business being. A large number of politicians use these apps for communication all over the world for information that is actually classified.

The reason it is in all these places because it is free, easy to use and supposedly secure. That the information contained can be exfiltrated would be news to them. All they know is that security proffessionals recommend Signal so that is what they use.

Just use Signal has been a mantra in tech circles for a long time. This obvious fact I am bringing up is always obvious yet no one mentions it.
Apple deprecates support for old Macs in new macOS releases after about 6 to 7 years, and Linux support on Macs released before 2016 is really good.

There are features that are unique to Linux, like cgroups and KVM, that are nice to use on my main OS. The kernel itself is incredibly configurable and extensible, whereas on macOS the kernel is locked away and Apple has deprecated foreign kext support.

Another example is Linux's native FUSE support. I can use an updated version of sshfs on Linux that isn't available on macOS and solves problems I had with sshfs on macOS. I have to use closed source software to even use FUSE on macOS.

Using Linux on a VM or over SSH to do things I couldn't do on macOS was frustrating, and it's a breath of fresh air to run Linux natively.

Also, I prefer Plasma Desktop to the macOS desktop shell. KWin is scriptable, and KDE is really nice.

> Apple's touch pad experience in MacOS is the best in the market and it is always very different in Windows and Linux.

I disagree with this. Libinput is configurable and its adaptive acceleration profile feels more natural to me.
Not just left and right arms, but also left and right ankles. The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is the systolic pressure at the ankle, divided by the systolic pressure at the arm. It has been shown to be a specific and sensitive metric for the diagnosis of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD). Beyond this is Peripheral Vascular Doppler Ultrasound. I don't have any specific links, but you can find some documentation on nih.gov. I find it most effective to utilize google and put in "site:nih.gov search topic"
It's an early version but I promise the visual quality will be much better in next releases.

I'm also a visual learner but don't enjoy re arranging diagrams with drag & drop ui's and basically that's what drove me to build it.
> I can't think of any sport where players are expected to become coaches.

In amateur sports it's common. E.g. in rowing, cycling, fencing, cross country skiing, etc., people are generally expected to coach at some point. Albeit usually while they're doing the sport, and not necessarily as their primary careers.
Ice caps, rather than icebergs. They have vastly larger area.

The albedo of the surface does make a difference, but the color of rivers doesn't really come up, because it doesn't necessarily correspond to a change in albedo (and they're too small to matter anyway). A change in color is more about the way it fits into the local ecosystem (both the plants/animals that use it, and what it says about the lands around it).

No affiliation with them, but we've had decent success with Twilio hosting our STUN/TURN (https://www.twilio.com/stun-turn). We still host the signaling server ourselves since it has negligible bandwidth/cpu requirements.
IMO defining all of those things as "regular usage" is problematic.

In regards to your specific list, that's above average internet user, in which case I think a better solution is diversifying your network connection methods. Trying to use one tool for that entire range of traffic centralizes it needlessly, and you'll get more effective privacy by avoiding that.

Furthermore, if you want more speed out of tor I'd argue step one is running a node and contributing and/or donating at least.
zimbabwe is going bust - super high inflation, but ecocash (a mobile money platform) is THE way folks pay.

Part of this is security - walking around with lots of cash / keeping it at home (which may be a shared room) is just not workable.
JSLinux predates that talk by 3 years. Also the “prophecy” is a special case of Atwood’s law from 2007, where the “anything” is an operating system.
> You have no right to force others to toil for your pleasure

No one is being forced to work! They can simply live a life of “excess” off government assistance right?

All they have to do is trade in their current friends, their standard for home ownership, their dreams of financial stability, any ability to pay for their kids’ emergencies / college / wedding ...

This society has determined that the people who cannot fully take care of themselves should still be taken care of and given a microscopic slice of a tiny sliver of dignity, and that it’s worth the cost of some percentage of bad actors milking the system.

It’s not perfect but I am okay with that trade off.

"Texas Bans the Sale of Tesla Vehicles"

Title is misleading. Texas didn't ban the sale of Teslas but rather Teslas are incapable of being sold due to legislation that was added back in 2003. Still a problem, but it should at least be presented correctly.
>It's inaccurate to group together hydraulic fracturing and traditional oil drilling in terms of environmental damage.

No it isn't, fracking is a technique that is used to increase the output of a 'traditional oil well' and actually, oil/gas drilling has been ruining surface water for a long time, too. In the past it tended to happen to people who owned the surface as well as the minerals, and who were often happy to take an additional check for their trouble (or not), to go along with their mineral check, and have some bottled water delivered, or hook up to a community water district (yay, they can afford it now). It is easier to get over the loss of a water well when you're making five or six figures a month in O&G royalties. Fracking isn't new either. The only thing new is fracking for shale gas, which is usually deeper/higher pressure, and I guess probably needs better well casings and cement. The problem being that many of these wells are only barely economical or a gamble, to start with (thanks Aubrey McClendon).

There isn't a European counterpart to American milk chocolate (which mostly tastes like Hershey's) is there? Like, the reason they are different isn't quality, it's that they are different.

I finally started looking into fast.ai and the setup seems to be a lot of hassle. It doesn't help that the course dismissively just says "just buy server time even if you have a GPU for this."
I get the reasoning behind this, and in some ways I quite like the idea as long as it's in a country with a truly independent judiciary. But my concern would be what kind of legal remedy is open to a small publisher when up against the government. If it's like a UK small claims court, where the idea is to keep legal costs to a very bare minimum, and which allows people to represent themselves in a way that doesn't cripple them financially or legally, then that would be reasonable. But if that's not the case - perhaps someone here can clarify? - then just the threat of legal action could be enough to stifle the publication of politically inconvenient facts.
