Sure it's objective in the mathematical sense, but if you have 2 kids and two people working with a combined income of 112k you'd be upper class? I feel like a better way of looking at it would be average household income/average area COL per person or something, right?

Additionally, if the wealth distribution curve for the country is basically a backwards "L" with the bend at the ~99th percentile, the difference between the 60th and 80th percentiles isn't really meaningful since the "upper class" is clearly the 99th percentile.

Edit: obviously there are also social caste connotations that used to be applied here too, but I'm only interested in the economic definition.
Genuinely curious: why not implement the fixes you mentioned yourself? Would that count as "stepping on toes" and anger dev teams?

So many RISC options and almost none for CISC. If you want yet another low power chip, then it makes sense. If, however, you want to get real on efficient cache usage and a high instruction-per-execution ratio, just do yourself a favor and stop ignoring the costly experimenting results that the industry already paid for.

Same here. Lexapro made most of my depression and anxiety go away. With that initial chemical help, I was able to double down on my exercises and good dieting. Before SSRI's, I did not have enough "drive" to exercise hard or eat well.
I'm out of my depth here so apologies if I'm stepping into some Very Bad Anatomy but my point is that neither one can come first because they are the same thing, that those chemicals are your emotions and vice versa.
I see a lot in here about the popular "chemical imbalance" theory, which is worth noting is more of a big pharma sales pitch at this point in time than actual objective science.

> I do care if you infringe on the rights of parents to do what they think is best for their children whether it's for medical, cultural, or religious reasons

Serious question: how far should that be allowed to go? What if someone believes cutting off their child's earlobe is best for their child (for the sake of an example)?

As I see it, religious freedom does not mean you get to do whatever you want with no comeback.
True but there are likely a few channels or videos that bring new users to the platform and then view other content and yet that creator only gets what that user viewed on their video. Not the fact that they likely brought a lot of views to the platform (rise in water lifts all hosts scenario)

I highly suspect if you look at what all the content creators and people receive via ads. Plus overhead of running YouTube. They are likely making tons more money in profit when main content creators are getting the short stick.
Twitter can demonstrate a procedure in place to deal with the problem, that is proportional to the size of the problem. An individual's procedures can only be proportional to their available time. The law will still say you should put up a server only if you can comply with the regulations it requires, and a defense based on "I'm doing my best to comply" will fail if your best is not good enough.
some companies have normal stock and preferred stock. Preferred stock acts more like a bond - no voting rights, higher priority in the case of bankruptcy, consistently pays a certain amount and the price doesn't move much.

There are plenty of stocks that don't pay dividends. Tesla, for example. And Mr. Einhorn doesn't seem to think they're accurately valued...
The parent was disparaging millions of americans by calling them too stupid to read a contract and financially irresponsible, and i pointed out that his situation sounded more financially irresponsible than someone underwater on their mortgage. If they take offense to being called financially irresponsible im not sure how they justify calling millions of americans the very same thing.

that said, fair enough, i was more discourteous than i needed to be in getting my message across, i apologize for that.

And yet it would have appeared on your screen nevertheless. You, or others in your position, also wouldn't have replied to me in such an instance, if you didn't want to discuss the topic. I was asking for a reason why my comment was being downvoted, not why people weren't replying to it.

The discussion is not only about Mastodon, but the importance and meaning and implementation of censorship on Mastodon instances. It is as much a political and social issue as it is a technical one, as any article about tech law or policy will tell you. I picked up on one particular aspect of the social issue. Your explanation, well intentioned as it may have been, failed to explain why people were downvoting, or at least from my point of view failed to rationalise the behavior of the downvoters.
Simple Website Fixes – Part 9
I like Elm a lot. I also do a lot of React and I have worried about picking Elm to avoid killing a nice product written in it because no one is willing to learn it to maintain it after I'm gone. Better to pick React to avoid any rewrites just to continue maintaining the product.

However, if they could just be convinced to learn Elm I'm positive that Elm would be much easier to maintain and improve than just React by its self. React can definitely be maintained easily, but Elm does a lot of the work to check itself and also enforces discipline that React can't (although you could get a lot by just using Flow extensively and treating its errors as blockers).
This is true. I think it's also worth noting this whole deregulation push to have a fast lane was initiated by Tom Wheeler, who was appointed chairman of the FCC by Obama (Ajit Pai was in the ranks at the time). The initiative Wheeler introduced was supported into motion by the 3 Dems appointed to the FCC (overriding the 2 dissenting Reps)[1]. What stopped the fast lane momentum (IMO) was a very loud outcry by the public and some of the big tech companies that also voiced dissent.

It's what Trinity said that has me really worried:
"A déjà vu is usually a glitch in the Matrix. It happens when they change something."

> People believe all kinds of crazy things...

Same sex marriage, ordination of female clergy and birth control are not christian doctrines 'progressive' as they may be.
It's worth mentioning the recording process as well. I feel recording has taken over some of that "this is what this is" role from the rigid structures of classical composition. One can improvise and develop the music "on tape", and often does, but in the end, you cut a master and send it out into the world.

I also feel this has given listeners a narrow and unrealistic view of what music actually is. For example, complaining if the lead guitarist in concert doesn't play the guitar solo from the record note-for-note, even though that player improvised the studio solo and might have real difficulty replicating it - not to mention little interest in doing so.

This also leads to the phenomenon of "cover bands" that simply do live note-for-note versions of someone else's record. As a musician, the idea of doing that seems utterly bizarre to me, but it's obviously popular!
The point however is that JWS/JWE is not as flawed as JWT is.
That is quite fascinating. I do somewhat wonder if some of that can be lessened by using more "property based testing"[1]. Property based testing can be thought of writing tests that describe the functionality you are trying to cover. It then interpolates (not too unlike fuzzing actually) to come up with every way that might be non-compliant and then checks to ensure your hypothesis holds up. Amusingly enough, the most active python property based testing library is named hypothesis[2], which describes quite well how you write unit tests using it.

Classic HN comment. Only education-focused content is of value. There is no value in entertainment, especially when it is for children and plebs. When they get off work, why don't they view the science videos instead of lowly clickbait?

I 100% endorse these recommendations (I say this as someone who makes 3-6 pizzas a weekend, with an oven that does 900+ degrees as well).

I'll also put in a little plug for my dough calculator here: http://maybepizza.com/calc/ , which is a bit more accessible on hand held devices.

I like that you're keeping a historical record on your spreadsheet- that's a neat idea.
I was being somewhat hyperbolic. Obviously there are any number of fairly inexpensive ethnic markets that carry fresh produce and meat in many cities.

(I actually think that Whole Foods is a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to pricing but it's certainly not inexpensive even for a selective shopper.)
It's crazy to me how nobody, even the (usually remarkably candid) Youtube stars themselves, acknowledge that this story is mostly about ad fraud. I would expect people to be hush-hush about this in a normal industry, but Youtube creators are usually really good about incisive analysis and being open with their audience. Do they themselves not know?
First of all, a pie must be baked, so that would eliminate omelettes, pancakes, and more from your list. Second, a pie must have a crust and a filling. That eliminates a lot of the list too.

Second, a pie needn't have pastry on both top and bottom. There are numerous pies with no crust on top, such as pumpkin pie, key lime pie, banana cream pie, lemon meringue pie, chess pie, pecan pie, or chocolate icebox pie. These are so similar to pies with crust on top that it is hard to see how a reasonable definition could include one but not the other.
Sorry I wasn't clear, I didn't state it well. That was the response in italics above. The representative (or rather, her staffer) is asserting that the status quo has not changed. That's only half true. The ability for ISPs to sell data was on shaky ground before, until the FCC closed the door. The door has been reopened, and the FTC has weak jurisdiction.
Github is a centralized service so I don't know if the comparison is fair. Perhaps a better comparison is Bitcoin's adoption given the rhetoric of early adopters. It seems to me the whole point of decentralized services is to evade control. If IPFS isn't decentralized and censor resistant - then what exactly is the point of it?
Python itself has established the convention that the "python" binary is always 2.x, and "python3" is 3.x. Even if Python 2 is not installed at all. This naturally translated to other tools.
My god Chris, you're seriously interpreting this action as a business strategy? If being docile in the face of evil is Keybase's business strategy, I strongly urge you to re-prioritize, because if the government goes rogue, it's going to kick down your door looking for access to encrypted communications from dissidents, whether you're polite about it or not. How many John Does have you waffled on because it was a "better business strategy" so far?
Still, relative to the population at large, the number of PhD's and startup founders isn't even a droplet in the bucket...
While "top quintile" might be a useful economic definition, it's not the dictionary definition, nor the one used by many Americans when discussing class (which has major social considerations, in addition to economic ones).

From Merriam-Webster:
a social class occupying a position above the middle class and having the highest status in a society

Many of the HN regulars are upper income, but very few would qualify as upper class (most of us lack the political and social connections).
I concur. Don't be afraid of the medication, just make sure to consult a (good) qualified professional that helps you figure out the right prescription for your particular scenario, and don't fall in the overuse/abuse trap.
Thanks for your response. I was looking at the email headers from the source and there was some sort of ip masking applied so I couldn't get the location of the sender. It resolved to a private IP. I will definitely be examining the server logs.

I've been deeply skeptical of these types of projects in the past. I feel like I need to stay on top of new developments, though, so when Mastodon popped up I found an instance and set up an account there to play around with.

So far, it's... good! Really good. I've had interesting conversations with interesting people from around the world. Unlike Twitter, which has evolved into a one-way mechanism for celebrities and #brands to shout at you, Mastodon/OStatus is grass-rootsy enough to feel personal. And they've addressed some of the broken design decisions that made Twitter what it is today (which I outlined here a few years ago: https://jasonlefkowitz.net/2013/02/i-kind-of-hate-twitter), so there's some hope that it will be able to retain its charm.

None of which is to say that it's perfect, or even close to perfect. But it's good enough to be interesting, which is something I haven't seen in the social-networking space in a long, long time.
TL;DR: Palatalization.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatalization_%28sound_change...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_phonology#Vowel_assimil...

That "ee" sound is known in IPA [0] as /i/. That sound is also the vowel counterpart to the semi-vowel /j/ [1, 2]. Within languages, /j/ has a tendency to palatize sounds. In the case of Korean, this has resulted in /s/ being conditioned to /ɕ/ before /i/, where /ɕ/ is the alveolo-palatal version of /s/. (This sound is technically different than "she", which is /ʃi/.)

This process of moving where a sound is pronounced is actually known as "assimilation", but this particular case of assimilation is via a palatal sound. That's why there's actually two palatalization terms in linguistics -- the one I linked above and this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palatalization_%28phonetics%29

I hope so too. It's unlikely but you can never be certain.
I want you greedy asshats to understand that we the people want net neutrality and for ISP's to stay under title 2. Freedom of ideas, speech, and choice are all that stand between us and fascism and totalitarianism. So net neutrality needs to be the law of the land and ISP must stay under title2. thank you jrp
Yes it is. Most of the problems people point to with JWT exist in JWS or JWE.
no, that is quite unlikely to have much explanatory power here. you're applying static thinking to a dynamic system. women have been integrating into the work force for the past 100 years. it wasn't an instantaneous doubling all of the sudden. consumption grew in lock-step with labor supply over those many years, so labor demand rose as well to meet the new consumer demand. a so-called virtuous cycle.

wage stagnation is tied to the growing wealth of the top 1%, not working women.

Statistically, those high value PhDs and successful exits are way off on the high end of the tail of the distribution for all 25-year-olds. I suspect they are not going to budge the median values at all.
Youtube created a place where thousands of content creators were free to produce and generate a following while making a decent living. The issue of course is once Youtube fell, that ecosystem felt the pinch. Once again, we are seeing yet another issue with having a monopoly in a market.

People are spinning this as either incompetence of Youtube or the sheepish fears of advertizers, but I think the real story here is this serves as a good example when there isn't competition and there are a lack of alternate providers.
Thanks for the note.

About 5 years ago I asked my friend to regularly sit with me. Mainly I just wanted the brain benefits of meditation. We looked up info online but then later visited some meditation centers in town. I happened to like the soto zen style the best and have adopted that practice since.

I work from home and although I'm on the edge of the city, there's not much near me except this awesome 7 mile paved greenway. So I mainly walk just to get out of the house. It's a nice time.

I can't find it at the moment, but Tesla was planning on offering this as a feature in their SDCs -- to let you turn it loose when you're not using it and have it earn you fares.

(As the top reply notes, it's not quite as lucrative as you might suggest: the fares will drop precipitously once SDCs are out. Once you factor out the inconvenience and overhead, it will probably defray some of TCO but not by much.)

I want to like and use Elm. However, unless things have changed recently, it seems the author hasn't learned to delegate. They also like to really get things right, which takes forever.

So it's really good at what it does, but for everything else, it's just incomplete. For instance, Elm seems like a natural fit for an offline-first ServiceWorker design. But I don't think it really covers much of the just-outside-of-core-Javascript browser APIs. You're likely to run into "I have some really interesting ideas about how to cover that a super elegant way, but I'm concentrating on rewriting the $WHATEVER right now" newsgroup posts, but that's it… :-(
I've tried to use Elm and The Elm Architecture on a project before, but I gave up.

The Elm Architecture makes it very easy to create small type safe components, but it forces parent components to manage the state + structure all children components. This makes it hard to use a component and to separate concerns.

In order to create a list of stateful children, you must:

1. Add a list of the child states to the component state, event if the parent component doesn't care about the child's state.

2. Handle adding + removing child state's manually

3. Map all scoped child state updates through your reducer, adding a constructor to your action type

4. Finally, map each of the child state's to the component's view.

You end up big types and match expressions that just manipulate lists. I have yet to see a FRP library that allows you to just use a component without introducing boilerplate.
>Sum total of human knowledge

I like wikipedia, but I always felt like it was missing crucial pieces of information to make it the "sum total of human knowledge." For example, I can look at the articles for ISO_31-11, Spheres, and Sphere Eversions, but I don't think that information alone is enough for me to go from "society of post-apocalyptic 'we lost how to do math'" to "we can prove sphere eversion is possible once again." I chose this example because I'm shit at math and never learned much of it anyway so I can maybe be considered a mad-max post-apocalyptic uneducated peon? Anyway point is I think there's the crucial "teaching" step missing.

Perhaps with a collection of a great deal more articles together, the result "prove eversion is possible" can be taught, but missing for example the ISO_31-11 article alone would make it monumentally difficult, I feel.

You bring up a good point, that education and retraining is often a part of the process.

And the more I think about it, there are probably a good number of workers affected by or at risk of being replaced by automation, and they are not necessarily resistant to change -- but they might not have the resources to pursue the retraining and education that would help them pick up the skills necessary to adapt.

I see a lot of recipes recommending autolyse in both bread and pizza. I'm not sure I understand what the benefit is in a recipe which is already high hydration and has a long rest.

E.g. my typical sourdough recipe is something like: feed starter generously, let sit overnight. Build dough with bubbly starter, bread flour, additional water, some rye or whole wheat. Bulk ferment for most of the day, with about 4 folds in the first 4 hours. Shape, proof overnight in the fridge. Bake from the fridge.

It's my understanding that salt slows the "automatic" formation of gluten in a high hydration dough at rest. Okay, sure. But if the dough is already resting 24 hours between mixing and baking, does that much matter?
