While also convincing the parents that all their and their children's worries can be fixed by doing whatever the 0.1% wants and that they should call anyone who disagrees an out-of-touch metropolitan elite, even/especially those never-going-to-own-houses kids

(Disclaimer: I have been guilty of anti-boomer rhetoric elsewhere lately, but I read your post and you are probably right.

It is still frustrating, though, to hear older people, comfortably retired mortgage-free in houses with 3+ spare bedrooms, tell us that if only we worked harder and didn't eat out occasionally we could surely save up for a house)
It should be recognised that meeting the needs of consumers and meeting high standards for the workers is a difficult thing to get right. Meeting the needs of consumers when it comes at the expense of worker rights I would argue is a bad thing outright.

The consumer is not always right, especially when the consumer is so influenced by advertising and the culture of consumption. I would much rather not meet the need of a single customer if it meant I could have freedom from being forced to sell my labour.
There is even more nuanced though, because Intel runs avx instructions at a different clockspeed than the main chip. So certain SKUs have avx support but have differences that don't reflect the CPU clock difference.
I imagine many GitHub users don't have a "full legal name"; e.g. I'm in the UK and AFAIK there's no concept of a distinguished "legal name"; a name is anything you're known by, i.e. I could give "chriswarbo" as my name in an official setting, since that's one of the names I'm known by (although it would probably cause me headaches, since that name doesn't appear in any of my other official forms/documents).

Besides which, as I quoted above, GitHub can terminate any account at any time for any reason, so it's really just nitpicking.
One furriner is very much like another. I've had to explain to people worried about a Sikh temple that Sikhism is its own religion. Lots of people are neither well aware of nor interested in the rest of the world, they only like what they already know.
If your a Canadian citizen with %50+ native blood you can apply for a green card / citizenship at the border because of the jay treaty. That's a very small amount of people although. Canada is a lot more stringent about jay treaty rights in this case although than the US. It's actually harder!

I really doubt though all of these guy's details are correct, since it would mean all native born Canadians could just apply for US citizenship on the border, and I would think there would be some CBC article about it by now.

Also if you do stuff like 'put your house under a trust' or any other corporation, then you lose things like the 250k cap gains exemption on a house you directly own and live in when you sell it.

So definitely a YMMV. This feels like all of the 'you don't actually have to pay income tax' crap if you do this magical bureaucracy incantation you see on the internet.
Hey is Microsoft now. Of course it's slow.
That's fascinating. I wonder if it's true of absences from the workforce, as well.

My suspicion is that "adventurous" reasons for taking time away from a typical career path--playing professional poker, sailing around the world, touring with a band--are rewarded in the job search, especially in men, while reasons like child or elder care are punished, especially in women.

I'm not convinced that reflects who's actually going to be a valuable, committed employee.

I'm a US citizen and as such I have the right to legal counsel.

Edit: yes that's I guess only technically during prosecution. But I still wouldn't turn over anything until I did.
Passports have been around for over 1500 years [1].

There was a brief blip in the 19th century, as railways started to cross Europe and passport checks seemed pointless [2], but that aside, passports seem to have been more common than not.

Given how much was controlled by monarchy-issued licenses and charters, I doubt it was that easy to rock up and enter a foreign country without any papers, but I'd certainly be interested to learn more.

Yeah, in a prehospital setting we are a lot more sensitive to the fact that there is no cavalry coming.
Backing up what you said here, I've played a few online games with (at times) abusive communities (DotA, Overwatch), and in my experience:

- Games go for 30-60 minutes on average, and generally have a clear winner by the halfway point. Players are forced to sit through a defeat, building frustration.

- Games rely on team coordination on top of individual skill, so players who are scoring high (kills, etc...) may not actually be helping complete the objective.

- On death, there is enough downtime to vent frustration at your team, and blame them for the bad situation that caused your death.

- People often try to get the rest of their team to side against an individual, calling them out as the cause of other players dying / losing objectives.

It can be extremely toxic (to the point I've moved on), but I found pushing back with civility and calling people out often helped the situation.

Whenever I noticed it starting, I'd jump in and tell the frustrated player to take charge. I'd acknowledge the valid issues they call out, and try to reword them constructively and focus on the team rather than the individual. (eg: "Don't run in until we're all there to support you, we'll follow you now and see if we can outnumber them", or: "Try moving over there, their sniper is really good, and is protecting the area you were just in")
What I would like to see more in this conversation (on HN) is the potentially harmful effects of whistleblowing. It's nice that Snowden/das Spiegel/guardian were meticulous in making sure people weren't endangered by the leaks, but we can't count on it in general.

State secrets are often nefarious. However, they are often well-meaning (nuclear weapons schematics, etc). It is highly non trivial to ascertain the long-term impact of intelligence leaks upon the state.
That makes no sense. If you let people build in the city then they can cycle to work. If they have to live in a village 20 miles down the road they have to drive to work - longer distances equals more pollution. You want to breathe less fumes? Stop creating a false scarcity of houses in cycle-able distances.

Hectares of barren grassland don't magically cleanse the fumes.
I drink two cups of black tea in the morning, and sometimes also a soda if I really need to be productive. My sleep schedule is pretty abysmal: 5.5-6 hours on weekdays, 9 ish on weekends. Nonetheless, I seem to be able to focus for at least 10 hours per day of good work. The other two of my twelve daily hours at work tend to be pretty low quality.

It used to be that I'd be a useless blob when I got home. I seem to have mostly fixed that by standing for 5-8 hours each day at work. Only downside is I've become acutely aware of how uncomfortable some of my shoes are.
One way or another, one has to learn the conventional communication tools if they want to contribute to any open-source project, be it GitHub or GitLab, or a mailing list and debbugs. The maintainers get to decide and it's their way or the highway. The project is theirs.

Some skills only serve one purpose. Like shaving. I learnt how to shave when I was a teen, and that skill has only been useful to me in shaving my face, since ten years. And being able to use email and diffs is a transferable skill.

I won't respond to you anymore, as I dislike your language and your contributions are trollish.
How old are the guys? I used to not be able to put on weight until I was 35. Then this changed quickly. I am still keeping my weight but I have to be careful.
But you can't prove that this would not have been possible if Apple were non-profit.

Sure, it probably would have been unlikely but this is because non-profits are usually less thrilled about hiring de-facto slave labour in China or elsewhere on the supply chain in order to produce an iPhone at a price where large profits can be made.
What do you mean by "ask for a MySQL database"? If I were a client, I'd be rightfully pissed off if the developer I contracted gave me a completely different database than I requested in my stack. That's a complete breach of contract, if there was indeed MySQL on the spec sheet.

Who are you working with that would flagrantly ignore the obvious differences between SQL and MariaDB?

Personally, I've never seen MariaDB used in an instance where a simple MySQL db sufficed.
> political parties inherently lead towards forms of treachery. They will be bought off or will try to invite outsiders as a means to grab onto power

'Democracy is the worst possible option, except for all the others.' All the least corrupt, most free, most properous countries in the world are democracies. Can you name a system that has worked better?
Thanks.

I don't care what the charge is, if the government can not prove their case without compelling the person to testify / provide evidence against himself the judge needs to throw that case out. This is terrifying that anyone could be jailed for using what anyone would consider their 5th amendment right.
This this this. I would spend so much time on GitHub if the search were better. I'm tempted to say that search is less than OK. I do have a huge Java repo, but I'm usually shocked when I quickly find what im querying for.
One of those organizations isn't like the others.
Let's say you have 200,000 suspected criminals, some % of which are criminals. How many of them are you willing to put in prison? If it's looking that most likely around 30% are guilty, do you put 60,000 in prison and say "oh well, some false negatives, some false positives, whatever"

or do you just put 30,000 in prison to prevent most innocent persons from going to jail? Then you are letting half of the guilty people go free

It's a question of how many innocent people you are willing to jail to catch more real criminals
FSV – It's a Unix System, I know this
My food log showed that I legitimately ate 3500 calories in a day as a 140-lb individual... but never two days in a row. The second day was always accompanied by unconsciously skipped meals or second helpings, averaging out to 2700 calories per day over time. I didn't even realize I was doing that, I just focused on my habit of finishing an entire bag of Doritos and thought I must be cheating thermodynamics.
The difference is that when you are forced to declare where your program does not follow some safe semantics, while it's still trivial to write an overflow, it's also trivial (or at least not nearly as complex as some alternatives) to find and fix, compared to a language where the entire code base is a possible source for those problems.

For comparison, I would say C and C++ (but to a slightly lesser degree) are also trivial to write buffer overflows in, it is definitely non-trivial in many cases to find and fix those problems, as the surface area is so large.

To illustrate this, it's trivial to write a buffer overflow in almost all languages that provide any sort of raw memory access or hardware instructions (ASM), even if through a module. It's trivial for me to create a buffer overflow in Python or Perl my including a module that allows direct assembly code access. The difference when using those languages is that when I run into a buffer overflow problem, I can be reasonably sure it's in a place where I bypassed the assurances provided by those languages, or in some included module that did the same (including just using a shared library). When tracking down a problem like that, I'll focus my attention on those spots, which makes identifying and hopefully fixing those problems easier.

Rust's "unsafe" is really an in-language way to provide a similar set of levels of assurance about how likely the code is to have problems of specific types, with assurances provides by the language and compiler. This is a step above what C and C++[1] provide, and thus welcome.

1: C++ provides some similar assurances based on types, but by nature of how "safe" code becomes "unsafe" when used in conjunction with unsafe portions, is much harder to assess at a block level, since you can't even be sure a line is safe until you've verified all the types used within it.
That's an interesting approach.Not so easy to implement probably.
No, because like temporal law, the Mosaic code elsewhere defines what is and is not murder. As 'coldtea elsewhere points out, Christ explicitly deprecates most of that code in his teachings - but he cites this one verbatim, and to do so without intending to implicitly affirm at least the distinction between killing which is wrongful, i.e. murder, and killing which is not, seems an unlikely mistake for any rabbi to make.
This is my big reservation about HSR even as a huge proponent of rail transit. I live in a working class area of south LA and there is huge demand here for local/regional rail and other transit. Neither LA, despite its improvements over the last decade, nor the Bay Area, have anywhere near the needed levels of regional mass transit.

My big fear is that HSR will ultimately be subsidized by middle class Californians so business people and wealthy vacationers can travel between SF and LA at the expense of more regionally focused transit that has a greater impact on the lives of working/middle class people.
> There are EU countries opted out (UK)

Not to nitpick, but the UK opted out of the EU entirely, not just the Schengen Zone.
Citation? From what I've seen (for example the biggest loser study) metabolism doesn't slow down when people restrict calories. Yes - they need less after a while but that's because they weigh less. It's almost exactly what those BMR equations would predict.
The evidence for this adaptive thermogenesis is scant and inconclusive. Even if it were true, we're talking about a difference of 100 kcal/day, which doesn't mean one can eat significantly less.

It doesn't make sense that our bodies would be capable of doing this. Evolutionary, if our bodies could do the same tasks for a lower energy expenditure, we'd all do that. But you simply can't keep a body at 37.5°C for half the calories
<evil hat>What an awesome way to collect SMS 2FA tokens. Plug this into a database of password breaches (an evil version of Have I Been Pwned that stores hashes and passwords, for example) and as soon as you see token-looking-things, hit Paypal/banksites/Amazon with any reversed passwords you have and try the token...
its clear scientifically that weight gain and loss are controlled by hormones

Is this clear, though? Many people can manage their weight by increasing or decreasing food intake.

It seems more likely that under normal circumstances weight can be easily managed, but other factors can force someone in either direction. Thus Alice doesn't understand why Bob is overweight and Charlie is underweight, because whenever Alice gets chubby or skinny she can easily get back in the normal range. For Alice, staying in shape is so easy that obesity really would be a sign of gluttony and being underweight would be a sign of mental illness, while for Bob and Charlie getting in shape would first require removing environmental factors.

It feels like there are a lot of Alices and a lot of Bobs that both argue with each other as though their own experience applies equally to everyone, which probably isn't true.
Are there any parsers (or parser generators) that allow to generate a "Lossless Syntax Tree" for an arbitrary grammar? Specifically, a parser that tags every parsed token with a tuple (line_id, col, length) that tells me where it was in the original parsed file. I've been thinking for ages about writing some refactoring tools for Fortran that would need something like that.
The excuse is that's obviously where the majority of their revenue comes from. Why else would they fight so hard and risk being banned entirely?
Well, sometimes it is better to just click to downvote, because the only other possibility that makes sense is to leave a message saying that the guy is a scumbag shithead. In such (common) cases, the simple downvote is better for the health of the thread and of the protagonists.

> That's because Boston and NYC are both navigable without a car. Only one side of the SF-LA link can claim to be close to that ideal.

Just put some car rental places near the station in LA, just like is done for airports.
But this is also ignoring that there are very real reasons this is happening. Within the last couple of years we had the Bataclan, Nice, Orlando, etc, all directly from Islamic terror.

Does that mean Muslims should be discriminated against? Obviously not. However, this is a very blunt way of people trying to protect themselves (even if it's not effective or overreaching).

To wave that off as "racism" isn't really fair.
Xeon E3's with ECC are rather similar, and even sometimes cheaper than the i5/i7 equiv. They are the same die after all.
> The universe is not "doing" mathematics

This is a hypothesis of yours. What evidence is there for this? I could argue that there is plenty of evidence that the universe is doing mathematics. That the universe is a game.

I'm interested to hear what you think.
Adding a comment as a reminder to look up your project. Which sounds really interesting!
>People don't want to live in the London green belt?

I'd rather live centrally. If height restrictions were eliminated and councils started building pretty much everybody who wanted to, could. The housing crisis was entirely a deliberate creation of both the Tories (and to an extent, New Labour).

>I think you vastly underestimate the suffering millions of people in the UK are enduring

I think you're vastly overestimating the effect this would have on alleviating that.

Corbyn's approach (let councils start building again) is a far more rational approach than this.
Oh.. maybe not over-engineered, but just more involved than what I need. I mostly just want a way to move messages back in forth. I don't need voice or video calls or anything like that.
Just some observations I have, hope they help (I'm on mobile if that matters and I just subscribed today).

#1 - your connection rate seems horribly low. I'm guessing it's all on the originator's side. If so, that doesn't really give me confidence in the service nor in the opportunities in the newsletter.

#2 - your landing page could be way better IMO. There's very little text about what I am signing up for, and if I hadn't come with the blog or HN, I wouldn't have signed up.

First off, you should have 2 calls to action, one for devs (or people who want to sign up to the newsletter) and one for people with suggestions. I read the page and if I had an opportunity, all I can do is sign up to the newsletter, then wait for the next email.

There's very little info on what happens. I signed up, now what. It says you made money in your blog, how? I don't see anything about paying on the main page.

I could go on, but I think you get it. Talk more about the process. People coming from HN and ProductHunt probably get the idea, but organic visitors won't, and you probably can't sustain this model without some organic.

#3 - I signed up today, any chance I can get today's email?

Not trying to be a jerk, just trying to help you out.
If the government would like to provide some examples of concrete harm caused by whistleblowers, I'd be happy to evaluate their claims and asses, on balance, whether the benefits were worth the costs. They never do, though. They always just say "it's classified" and that we have to take them at their word that the damage was grave.
Your first sentence is not entirely true: https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights-governments-100-mile-b...
In other words, you can't exclude yourself from "altruism" while expecting it to actually accomplish what you intend for it to accomplish. If you exclude yourself, you'll just create a situation where others have to come and help you, because you're not sustaining yourself. Which, in that sense, is not an altruistic thing to do for another.
So in that sense, the prevalent definition of "altruism" is that of a dysfunctional thing. Maybe it should be called "wholism" or "everyoneism", maybe its definition needs to change -- in our minds and actions first, of course.
We are just selfish agents who only cooperate when it benefits us in the long term. The world doesn't give a shit about you.
Why do we find it fascinating when open minded researchers show us what we all know to be true anyway, that is, our view of history (and the literature their in) are horribly skewed by extreme ethnocentrism. Yes, the first mathematics comes from the same place the fist civilizations come from which is the first place people found that could support grand scale civilization -- old Mesopotamia, the Nile, and so on. Ideas, like people, spread from there on out to the rest of the world. Fringe science instead like to divide and talk about how advances in science can be linked to (get this) mixing with and extinct sub-human species which has never been conclusively proven to even use tools more sophisticated than what can be picked up off the ground.

Most articles like this have a big ol' elephant in the room that only the bravest dare to approach.
I only gave airbnb my SSN because they were very clear that it would only be kept for purposes of producing my 1099K. If that changed (maybe it has? I don't use airbnb any more) then that would be a change of their TOS.
Summit Ridge only supports 1 M.2 NVME drive, Z270 supports 3 w/ RAID.

You can add additional NVME drives through the expansion slots but these are not natively supported by the platform.
Thank you! I'm looking forward to it with bated breath.
It's not a private activity, it directly supports an industry of violence against children
Taxpayers subsidize all successful transit. True of cars, true of rail.
Leaving it to a states is great in theory but the one thing that I think needs to be done is something that only the federal government has the power to do. Which is open up competition across borders for insurance companies and pharmaceuticals.

Including international borders but I'd be happy just to be able to buy insurance from the state next door.
> Stories still are told almost entirely in text, which was a limitation of the old medium but not the new, and images and video usually are decoration rather than a primary means of story-telling.

They harass you for a quite a while and detain your for possibly a day or more. They might even play a game of 'I don't think your actually a US citizen'. You also get a note of 'had problems at the border' and all future crossings for you and anyone travelling with you will be far more unpleasant for many years.

Not very pleasant for most people, and most people don't care about the contents of their phone that much unfortunately.
Well one could argue that one way to limit the risk of people blowing the whistle is by doing less evil in secret, isn't it?
