I think the dynamics are different in each case, but my guess is in most cases, the widowing event is one that is predictable, especially through chronic illness.

Chronic illness in a spouse or family member is a major stressor. Not only do you watch a loved one suffer, you often have major responsibilities as a result. So when the person passes, there's probably a mixed sense of tremendous sadness, but also a sense that your loved one is no longer suffering, and you can try to move on.

Divorce is different, but similar in that in most cases, problems leading to divorce have been going on for some time. So by the time the divorce happens, it's seen as an undesirable outcome, but one that is better than staying married.

The "missing situation" you seem to be implying or thinking about is one where a spouse/significant other is killed unexpectedly by accident or trauma, like a fatal car accident that is not their fault. My guess is those cases, you'd see a decline in well-being after the event, followed by a recovery to baseline.

The case of women after unemployment was puzzling to me, though. It led me to question the validity of the inferences, or to wonder what's going on with women that's different from men. I wondered if childcare had something to do with it. Perhaps women tend to leave employment because of children, return and then feel satisfied in doing so, but then realize they miss staying at home with the child? Maybe the industries they are in are different from men, and are subject to different trajectories? I have no idea.
I'll post an updated version in this thread. I have no problem with anyone sending it to any of their elected representatives.
The only time I experience overbooking is when travelling in the US. I have never had someone come on a flight, or announce at the gate, that people must give up their seat and offer compo (something I have experienced on probably 20-30% of my domestic US flights).
The time of day matters though. Early morning departures, in my experience - especially on weekends, are almost always partially empty. Last week I flew on a flight that left at 5:55 AM that was less than half full (25 people on a regional jet). Last December I flew on a southwest flight that left at 7:45 AM that was about half full (probably 60 people on a 737).
Bullshit. Explicitly fired people are more likely to have problems with themselves (poor work ethics, laziness, etc). Those are carried throughout their carrier - of course they won't be happy after years, they (more likely) will carry those bad habits with them to another job.

All this moaning about externals (boss, partner, government, whatever) is quite boring frankly. Yes, in some cases bad shit happens that shouldn't and we should fight with it, but to draw this general picture where responsibility for oneself is shifted to others is just immature. At the end - nobody gives a fuck about you - this adult realisation is liberating: you now have control of your life in your own hands.

As to bosses - it's arguably better to say "we're restructuring business, we've decided to let you go" (more likely in commonwealth/western countries) instead of "you're lazy bastard, you're fired" (more likely in slovian countries for example) - but I'm not sure. Maybe it's just better to say how things are so the person gets clear signal he/she needs to get their shit together? I don't know.

Anyway the best advice is to say "fuck it" and focus on the future.
Pretty sure a B-17 could not carry nuclear weapons of that era. It was, however, used to do atmospheric testing for operation cross-roads.
The C.E.O. of H.I.V
I didn't follow the doctor-getting-dragged-off debacle closely but I have a question about the basic mechanics of what went down:

When I've been boarding on flights, they do the overbooking announcement at the gate and get volunteers to take later flights there, before people board. That makes a lot more sense because, in the event that no one volunteers, the airline can simply refuse to let certain people on.

They don't have to take the seat away from the passenger, they can just not to give it to them. Certainly, psychologically, people are a hell of a lot more attached to something once it's been given to them. I've toyed with the idea of taking a later flight before, but I'd be much less likely to do that once I was all settled into my seat.

How is it that the doctor was already seated when they "volunteered" him to not fly? That seems like the main fuck-up to me.
> Wait - aren't they supposedly promoting the idea of 20% of work time to be spent of your outside of work projects??

No, 20% time is, in principle, self-directed inside-of-work projects. Mostly, I see it as a community center for building in slack (which is desirable for a lot of reasons) in formal projects while getting a bunch of in-house speculative development which can be mined for commercializable work.
But what you need is force-handled-correctly. If you think that programmers will correctly deconstruct partially constructed objects at every location where construction might fail, then you have far too much faith in our profession.
I've only been in situations where I was hoping to be fired (sadly, it didn't happen).
It's an in-memory database. "Huge dataset" is questionable in this scenario as it has to fit in RAM.
The way I understand it, if airlines were to offer fixed-price tickets with no class distinction, then there wouldn't be almost any flights - i.e. there's no point at which, for a typical flight, number of tickets bought * fixed price >= costs of fueling a jet and paying the crew.
That and Uber pissed off the wrong people by stealing Levandowski after Google had bought his company. And that after Google had invested in Uber.

Yep you're right, everyone employed by Southwest to research and implement this apparently crucial detail of airline travel has no idea what they are doing and totally fucked up.

I honestly think hacker news should implement a feature where your comment is read back to you slowly before you post. Or you have to retype it out twice. Something, anything, to give the blowhards on here pause before they bless us with their cited[0] wisdom.
I didn't try Conrad, because as far as I know it doesn't use any native components. Not that gtk-rs is much better, but I felt that at least GTK was "tried and true" versus a GUI entirely from scratch (Conrad).

My first attempt was actually with libui, which would give me native components on every platform, but they don't implement a list view which is the heart of a password manager's UI...

> Java is a bad example since it could (theoretically) do all kinds of optimizations based on runtime profiling under the hood

Isn't that true for every language?

No offense intended, but this strongly reminds me of the "Sufficiently Smart Compiler" [1]

The Java community had more than enough time to implement that, especially compared to a young language like Rust, so there's probably a reason they don't have it yet.

As much as I will fairly praise Visual Studio, thanks for pointing out this automatic generation feature

I'm not by nature keen on automatic behaviour, or files appearing wherever, and though I visited this story simply to check in on the state of a language I know less than I want about, I'm certain that I would want a proper build step even for tinkering, once I start in earnest. I've long been enthusiastic about TypeScript especially, but from a distance, unable to allocate time to take it seriously enough.

I think the state of js and environment is now at a point that, in my view at least, I should not begin the smallest project without a deep dive into the state of the language. I see things moving so fast, that - at least in my workplace where we've had teams stick together for years commonly (partnership!) - it would suck to find oneself misdirected by a aggressive assumption, or find oneself in a unloved cul - de - sac of dependencies.

Tl;dr js is IMO at a place where the pay off for deeply studying the state of the language, is substantial while risk of not deeply groking js are rising fast.

Personally, I think I shall better resort to getting a new shelf of good books, for my needs, but I do believe the risk reward is looking hairy for any casual users. (or hurried business management, in particular)

I'm a little surprised, given my understanding the impression I had of ts is the very broad aim is to reduce your error in code, (type safety only part of that) that VS will encourage casual / random deployments like this. I can't decide if it's a occasional convenience quite suited to weekend js ciders like me, or a omitted formality that I feel encourages poor or slack habits.

Funny thing is, I never once thought of firing up VS to write JavaScript before now. I have no need, but I'm just displaying my age when I note that visually my mind thinks of early Netscape view source spelunking and text editors, not a actual IDE and build system.

What keeps me, well into a fourth decade of programming, from using JavaScript I think is only the fact that I totally phase out at the state of the tool chain for js. My mind blanks. But there's so much to like, using js, that i hope it's not abandoned by time I get to really learning it. (forgive my humour, but my first real computing experience was on a Symbolics 3650, then spanking new. Last week wanting to show a friend what one looked like, I found kids veritably boarding them! (sorry for the kids part, but it's nuts I found such phrases creeping up on me, I'm lucky in looking less than my years, but when did I start saying things like "the kids are doing x"? I want to know what causes this, and if there's a cure!)

Edit: Typos, minor clarity
Because it's not for plebs. Obviously.

There are too many people already. Why do you think so many companies are working on life shortening and population reduction technologies?
Lets hope Southwest doesn't become uncompetitive.
Interesting. So an attacker can just get someone's info, then schedule an appointment and pretend to be that person? Seems like this could be blocked just by having the health companies keep a photo on file and verifying it before anything expensive.

And are there lots of cases of people stealing ID just to get medical care? That's both sad and pretty interesting. Do they catch a lot of people trying this? Even $1200 for a "kitz" sounds like a great deal given the cost of US medical services. I'd guess there's a fairly low risk of getting caught once you leave the hospital.
Well, there is more fuel left in the tank, so there is less on the refill so yes it does save fuel, not much but it does save some. I prefer no refunds for no-show policy myself, that is how it works when I buy a ticket to see a play. Now refundable upto 48 hours before the flight might be even fairer.
Ah, no worries. I see where the misunderstanding was :)

I've added a few of the links to Pocket -- my reading list for next week is complete! :)
Yep, the main difference in Ryanair's model is that basically all tickets are nonrefundable. This way, even if the plane leaves half-empty on the day despite being fully booked, it will have paid for itself - which is what should happen, really.

What you lose by renouncing overbooking is the ability to change your ticket without paying for it again (which is what happen with Ryanair - fees to alter bookings are so huge, it's cheaper to just buy a new ticket).
> How is it that the doctor was already seated when they "volunteered" him to not fly? That seems like the main fuck-up to me.

Yes, it was. Well, that and when he was beaten bloody by the police.

Yes, but he seems to be in irreplaceable social engineer.
To offer a counterpoint, Southwest also offers the worst boarding procedure, unless travelling alone or with kids. My wife and I were going on vacation and it was impossible to get seats together as we were pretty far back in the assigned line positions and by the time we got on the plane, there were no two vacant seats next to each other.

After landing we discovered that checking in at the right time might get us further ahead in the line but we tried that, checking in within minutes of checkin opening and were still pretty far back in the lines.

We ended up buying an "upgrade" to get us ahead in the line and next to each other. For us to do that for both flights, we'd have been paying ~50% extra for a feature that comes by default with all other airlines.

Also, while interacting with Southwest's famously "better", more "caring" staff, we were met with total disinterest and absolutely no sympathy.
I'm curious: what is so different about the syntax? It seems very similar to me.
The problem isn't overbooking. The problem is not auctioning the seats higher when overbooked.

I've seen a number of overbooked southwest flights and people can't line up fast enough for a $300 flight credit + next available flight. I can't imagine it ever going over $1k.

IMHO if any airline should continue overbooking it's SWA. No first class, no assigned seats. Most of the flights are short range with multiple flights options every day. You're much more likely to agree to switch to the next flight if it means only waiting 2hrs.
Wikileaks's stance can be easily explained by Assange's upbringing and personal history. He has made obvious anti-American imperialism public statements practically his entire life.

He wouldn't need Russian direction to do what he does. He already is a true believer.

From the Crowdstrike report and public statements by WL, Sputnik, and RT, it is likely that the Podesta email cache was delivered by Russian state actors. That there is circumstantial evidence of collusion on one campaign doesn't mean that Wikileaks is a Russian front.

I think the most obvious explanation is the true one. Wikileaks is controlled by Assange, who really disagrees with U.S. foreign and military policy.
>Southwest already allows cancelling your ticket up to the last minute for a future credit so presumably most people that will miss the flight do so already. I wouldn't expect this impacts their fares much, if at all.

One reason you'd let people cancel at the last minute is because you overbook flights. If you have 100 seats, book 105 people and then 4 cancel, that cancellation didn't cost anything.

If you book 100 people and turned away other passengers, then 4 people cancel at the last minute, now you lost 4 sales.
Isn't this a civil case, i.e., nobody is charging either Levandowski or Uber with a crime?

And isn't Uber a) not a court of law, and therefore not obligated to presume innocence, and b) an at-will employer, who can terminate Levandowski merely for making life hard for them, whether or not he was responsible?
Yeah, I have been 'fired' twice when the company I was working for at the time started to go out of business. It did not upset me at all, because it was nothing personal against me. Also, being able to find new work right away probably helped, too.
Pretty much any American airline that provides "better" service generally does something along the lines of having a very limited coverage map and a more-or-less a uniform fleet.

Most problems with air travel are "last mile" problems, with "last mile" is defined as flying to a location that does not have a critical mass of service to really be a "full service" city.
This is maddeningly vague. I've reread it and I can't figure out if it's about continuous unemployment or not. I think that it is but they want to make it about firing.

They talk about firing, then about firing some more, then they need some hard stats so they talk about long term unemployment. "Unemployed people continue to become increasingly unhappy over the next few years." All the facts are about being unemployed long term, they just talk about firing a bunch. The graph is about unemployment.

"People who regularly attended church had a buffering effect from the impact of unemployment" is the closer.

Am I crazy? This seems like an article about one thing dressed up as another.
That second link is extraordinary. They are claiming that
non-telecoms companies that have similar investment patterns to the telecoms industry before the Title II change can serve as a control.

That seems an awful lot like they're begging for a spurious correlation.

They might as well have generated a random walk that matched the investment levels.
If it gets really high, I imagine passengers would do their best to drive it up. Would you volunteer if the offer was $2k out of a $100k vs a $10k pool? It defies classic game theory to an extent, but humans like to roll the dice.
Thank you for the update. Relm looks promising!

By the way, I love that Rust devs stalk HN and read my rants :P
I don't think so. You're describing a WAF for IOT devices. Their WAF is for websites. Websites are accessed using a domain. You point your DNS at CF and that gets them to filter all traffic.

In IoT, attackers use things like Shodan or their own scans to find targets and then target based on target IP, directly. So CF don't have the opportunity to inject themselves in between attacker and victim.

Unless they're cutting deals with ISPs to transparently proxy traffic.

But the whole point here is we're left guessing. The announcement is a drawing of an IoT device with a Cloudflare ring around it. I guess I'm just a bit curious what that ring actually is. Besides a press release.

You do not have to be emotionally attached to a job for it to be negatively effected by the job being terminated. The transition from income to no income can have chain effect on all other aspects of your life, especially if it usually takes you time to find your next job (a foreign concept to SV types, probably, but less so for other industries and parts of the country).

I went through layoffs four times in a row after working at each one for less than two years. Each time it was due to a downturn in the company due to poor executive decisions (in hindsight) or bad timing with the market. I actually started thinking I was cursed, and stopped taking as many chances because I saw too many companies struggle and fail up close and personal.

There was also a period of unemployment in between each one, and my finances took a beating each time (seemed like I had only just recovered when the rug got pulled out from under me again). It sucked. I'm still struggling in some ways as a result of it, years later.
I've had it happen several times flying out of London.
Without any context, it seems like typical Assange bravado and exaggeration. I'm not disputing it, I'm just saying this isn't enough to convince me either way.
Is this surprising at all? Of course most people recover emotionaly from divorce. Most divorces are mutual, and these people have just gotten out of the most toxic relationship in their lives. Firing is decidedly not mutual.
I just looked at corsair's efficiency graph and it seem that the best efficiency is around 50% of load on their PSUs.

Additionally up to around 35% load the fan is off, passive cooling is enough.

I only ask why is it necessary to write that garbage:

... it is a recruiting device for ISIS and undeniably helped elect Donald Trump. Similarly, Tinder was originally intended to allow unattached college kids to meet one another and maybe go on a date. The service has since been used by chauvinists to prey on women. Facebook’s newsfeed, likewise, was infiltrated by Russian operatives who fabricated stories that were used to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

You only have to do that when you are the trier of fact (jury in a jury trial, judge in a bench trial) in a criminal prosecution.

Outside of that, the rules are different.

And loses, because at-will employment, and being suspected, even wrongly, of civil wrongdoing creating liability for your employer is not a protected class.
