Very interesting. I think you've made some great points there.

I like the high touch approach: it keeps you personally connected to the customer until such a time as you wish to automate away that interaction and just chase sales (but obviously still providing a great service.)

Thanks a bunch, mate.
Why the West Rules for Now - broad coverage of human history, starting with pre-human hominids. Loosely guided by looking for an account of why in 20th century so much power was concentrated in the West compared to the East, but that guiding question only comes up occasionally. It's mostly a plain history book.

I've also heard Our Kind recommended for this kind of thing, but I haven't read it myself.
I'm in the "it worked for me so I don't care camp".

I can't believe people think it's woo-woo or anti-scientific, though, after reading it. Sarno's thesis is basically "we haven't found a physical cause for most chronic pain conditions, so why not the brain?".

Anxiety sufferers can fool themselves into thinking they're having a heart attack and hyperventilate. Why is it crazy or anti-scientific to think that the same can cause other symptoms?
For example the several video codecs. But I think all of those are supported by VLC, for instance.

The only way to make it purely P2P is to make it non fiat based.

And when you try to do that, you have suddenly alienated 99% of your potential audience of supporters.
> In return, I promise to continue working to stop Polish people from pluralizing potato chips as "chipsy".

Finns are great at this as well. Some examples:

chips - sipsit

shorts - shortsit

donut, donuts - donitsi, donitsit

ribs - ribsit (as in the food)

wings - wingsit (likewise)

and so on. These are all basically established loans by now.

Then there's the recent abomination that seems to be getting popular as there's no established word for a mobile app yet:

> I think there's an argument for reading as entertainment, regardless of quality, as a form of non-productive entertainment that is less harmful than other forms of entertainment. I've taken to switching off my devices at night and just reading books (fiction and non-fiction) before bed.

That's a good point. I was over-broad in my post—the form by which one experiences otherwise low-nutrient entertainment can have its own benefits. Reading even so-so fiction's not the same as watching so-so TV or compulsively refreshing online news aggregators, for example.
I won't speak to the veracity of that...I have no scientific knowledge on that. I wonder if part of the solution involves women understanding that if you want to look out for your self interest, then you don't need to be agreeable all the time.
Since downloading the file has side effects, I assume Mozilla would require the user to push a button that initiates a POST request. And I don't think any modern email service would initiate a POST request, because that would be a massive vulnerability in that service.
It's a trojan whose purpose is to be installed on large numbers of compromised end-user machines, and to inject fake web pages into browsers to collect credentials and credit card numbers. The DOJ prosecutes people who do that; see, for instance, the recent NanoCore case.

Electricity price is more like .26€ here(~.31$), and this is certainly not the most expensive place in the EU. Mostly network charges and taxes.

Going off the electric grid should become fairly easy. Cheap solar and storage should make this feasible for an eco-conscious household...

It won't be plagued with issues.

How do I know this? Because Musk has too perfect of a record on taking care of every important detail in his projects. He didn't develop the world's most advanced space program, in a decade, from scratch, by accident.

He didn't create a car company and scale it to 100k cars annually, all to the tune of spectacular reviews and overwhelmingly positive customer reception, in a decade, from scratch, by accident.

And I really think people undervalue the fact that he did these two things simultaneously, as though it were an unimportant detail. It's perhaps the most important detail. It drives home the sheer quantity of problems he can take on all at once without dropping any balls.

He's not about to forget about reliability for the Model 3, or fuck it up, and throw all his efforts to waste. The idea of it just doesn't make any god damn sense when held up against his record. It's total nonsense and I just don't buy it.
Most likely very little. Sulfur cathodes would just be deposited on the tape like any other cathode, and the gigafactory could freely switch to any other standard chemistry after some setup time and adjustments. More radical (and also much less likely) changes would have bigger impacts. Lithium metal batteries would probably require replacing some significant machinery. Solid electrolyte or ceramic batteries could need almost an entirely new production line. Metal air batteries would be almost completely incompatable.

Realistically, there are probably no changes coming in the next 30 years that will require rebuilding anything significant.
It's not exactly the same though. LS_COLORS only colours file types (whether it's a file, dir or symlink) and permissions, while exa appears to also set the colours based on the mime type (text, image, etc.).

Git's on disk format has a massive attack surface.

Do not run "git" in untrusted directories. It is not hardened against that (as opposed to the network protocol).

That probably includes libgit2 unless it explicitly states the opposite.
Marketing and selling can be considered more damning than the other thing.

For example, many times you will not be prosecuted for pirating content/counterfeiting merchandise/using drugs for your own personal interest, but if you try to advertise/sell such things you're much more likely to become a target.
It looks like you've been using HN primarily for political and ideological arguments. That's not a legit use of the site, so we ban accounts that do it, so would you please stop?

HN is intended for gratifying intellectual curiosity, and the two things are pretty much incompatible, because political and ideological flamewar burns up everything else.
I stand corrected, thanks for the clarification.

Totally agree. It's in the very similar tone to the Sapiens. Reading is entertaining and light. I really like how he approached the topic. Although, the part about the religions was a little bit too long IMO.

Any other suggestions about similar books where author is wondering what might happen next? I'm mostly interested in the tech part of it. Recently, I started reading Superinteligennce by Nick Bostrom. So far it's very good.
That's the point here. We know 300M passwords leaked, but we can't investigate these passwords and learn from this data. It's sad that researchers should look into black market if they want to get plain passwords. I'm pretty sure everyone who needs these passwords can find them.

I see what you are saying. But maybe some big company like Panasonic or Seimens will decide to put the needed bucks into flow batteries. Or maybe China will do what it is doing with PV's and decide to push them hard.
Why would I want to compare apples to oranges? Though admittedly in this crazy day and age someone has probably already reimplemented coreutils in node.js just because.
"easily"

It's top row, bottom row, middle row, and the 'x' on a normal keyboard is half way to being directly under the 'e'. Very awkward and antithetical to the ideas of people who have designed keyboard layouts specifically for efficiency and ergonomics.

The only demographic that comes to mind which would find that hand position "natural" would be guitarists and other string players.
It's cool, I just won't use the Patreon website as a way to explore new creators, nor will I patronize creators that heavily tier their content. This means pretty much all of their adult content. If they knew how much time and money I've spent on that kind of thing, they wouldn't take my complaints lightly.

The blurb made it sound like it checks the git status by default. But this isn't the case. You have to explicitly ask for with --git. Never mind then.
Regarding polygraphs, I've heard form a friend who gets administered them routinely, that they are actually fairly effective. By effective I don't mean that they can tell if a person is lying, the science behind them is as far as I know completely bogus, but in the hands of a skilled interrogator they can be very effective at convincing otherwise rational people to admit all shorts of things to the government that they shouldn't, and more importantly, that the government would otherwise have absolutely no way of finding out.

One of the principles of version control and branching is "branch on incompatible policy" ( http://www.bradapp.com/acme/branching/branch-creation.html#P... ). The same applies to Stack Exchange sites.

Instead of trying to say "these rules apply to only this tag and always when this tag is included", that entire set of topicality was taken to a different site. Consider trying to ask the question "what is the best C complier given XYZ requirements" on SO. Its tagged with "C", "recommendations" and "compiler". Well... that would mean that it shows up in the C feed - and those people don't think its a good question, so they close it. And then the recommendation followers say "but its tagged with recommendation - that means it should be open and its ok if it gets 100 answers." Two different policies on the site. So branch the community - ask the questions about recommendations where a different policy for what makes a good question and answer on a different site.

CodeGolf was that way. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/code-golf - but two things happened. First, it got lost in the noise of all of the other questions on the site. Secondly, people who wanted to have fun questions with many answers that constantly get bumped to the top of activity were getting their questions closed and down voted because of that fun. So the community branched to a new stack exchange site https://codegolf.stackexchange.com where they have flourished even more than they were when it was a tag within stack overflow.

That Software Recommendations doesn't have the activity and isn't flourishing the same way suggests that first off people aren't interested in moderating or curating the site in a way that attracts more than drive by questions. With a Q&A site it is the Answers that drive if it flourishes or not. The quality of the answers draw other people who want to provide at least as good content. Also, the format for Q&A doesn't work as well for recommendations. Why does it have to be on Stack Overflow or another exchange site? Why not go over to https://www.slant.co where the entire focus of the site is the "what is the best XYZ" - https://www.slant.co/topics/4265/~open-source-c-c-compilers https://www.slant.co/topics/1376/~resources-to-learn-about-c... or https://www.slant.co/improve/topics/7940/~which-open-source-... for example. Different format focused on that question doing it better than Stack Overflow ever could (but that's also because it doesn't try to do a more general Q&A format).
I'm in this same boat. Really who knows when self driving cars will be legalized, and by the end of next year I imagine there will be a lot more cars with auto pilot. Although I am expected to receive one in November based on my reservation number, so I'm still considering it.
That's basically what Objective-C code looks like when desugared to C.
I don't disagree that this is a problem that should be solved, but it doesn't answer my question. Why should I, as a reader, just try to find quality interesting content care about the identity of the author. Authors are just individuals to me. Unless their experience by virtue of their identity is relevant to the subject matter at hand, why should use identity in deciding what to read instead of just relying on subject matter and positive reviews and recommendations?
Even though it's not a governing body, consumers and content creators both might still value free speech in any kind of marketplace/middleman regardless.

Government is a sufficient but not necessary condition for upholding free speech.

I'm curious how important it is to most people which side the window controls are on. I prefer the controls on the right, but whenever I do use Ubuntu or other systems where the controls are on the left, it doesn't really bother me. If others consider it more important, I'd be interested to hear why.
actually you are wrong, heat pumps (air conditioners) typically have a coefficient of performance that is greater than 1. this means that they move more heat energy from the cold side to the hot side than they consume in moving the energy. this is possible because they are just moving the heat energy around, they aren't creating or destroying it.

What is the antecedent of "that"? I think you read something into what I wrote that I didn't intend.
>>Patreon is not a government body.

Ok, and. Do you believe only governments are a threat to free speech?

Free Speech is a concept that every person, every company, every government should work to up hold.

While governments can and have been the source of censorship, that is not the only source.

Today free speech is under massive assault not by Government but by Society at large, society it seems have lost all respect for the concept, instead of holding the position of "I disagree with what you say but I will fight for your right to say it" people instead hold the idea "I disagree with what you say so I will boycott companies that hire you, or allow you to speak, or do anything to even tangentially associate themselves with you" and increasingly people have the position of "I disagree with you so I will punch you in the face"

This is very very scary and is direct assault on free speech.
Heuristic Analysis for UX
Powerhouse is an incredible book. The author does a great job of weaving in interviews as well as narration to paint a good story of how CAA came to power. I highly recommend Powerhouse as well as his other books, Live From New York (about SNL) and These Guys Have All The Fun (about ESPN).
I guess you and I and everyone else have a lot of different interpretations for what the original text might mean. The fact that it is ambiguous is demonstrated. It was simply a poor choice of words and I'm sorry to have made too big a deal about it.

Still. In my company, if a division is going to source a component for us, it means they deliver that component. They don't provide a bunch of google options for manufacturers we might want to look at, or make introductions, or whatever. They get the damn thing and make it available to us. As such, sourcing has a specific meaning to me and perhaps I went overboard applying it to the ultra-great-grandparent comment.
I'm pretty sure ls does this as well. At least for images and archives
The Magic Keyboard does have the new switches, or at least the first generation butterfly switches that the first generation MacBook had. Also, there is more key travel on the Magic Keyboard than on the MacBook or the MacBook Pro.
Why should I, as a reader, just try to find quality interesting content care about the identity of the author.

Sorry, it seems really obvious to me and I have heard it said before, so didn't feel I needed to spell it out: Female authors must be better than most to have any shot at getting published. So, women authors who do get published tend to be better authors than most male authors.

You aren't required to care. Whether or not you care is on you, but if you want quality writing, there is evidence that due to the fact that women are discriminated against, IF they manage to get published, their writing will be of unusually high quality.
If I may point over at Slant.co for this type of question - https://www.slant.co/topics/5699/~javascript-frontend-framew... ; it appears to do the "what is the best XYZ" much better than a Stack Overflow question.
I think having the option for separate accounts would have been best.

I try not to post anything on Youtube or favourite videos or anything because it's tied to my "real" Google identity which is very traceable to me.

For the same reason I try not to link my Facebook or Google accounts to games and stuff I can help it (though I've mostly given up).

I did have a "fake" Facebook account for lots of stuff that wanted access to my Facebook feed and it's craptacular. Same for Google, but switching accounts for Youtube is a hassle,

Well, Windows VMs aren't hard to come by and they work quite well on any host platform (contrarily to some other OSes coughMacOScough)

A native windows version would be interesting, though I believe people generally shun any prolonged interactive use the windows command line, this kind of tool might be one of the possible remedies against the pain of using it.

You know what's funny? Every time I have to use ls, I'm so used to seeing the colours that I have so much trouble finding anything. Which column in the permissions is group-read? I can just scan for the green one. Which file in the listing am I supposed to be looking at? I just look for the one with the yellow underline. Colours have familiarity to me in a way that letters and words do not -- if I expect to see green and instead see grey, I'll notice it faster than if I expected to see "r" and instead see "-".

Of course, not everyone feels this way. Colour terminals are not a new invention, and if the "colour in everything" crowd was larger, someone would have made exa sooner.

That said, I don't want to go too overboard with the colours. Here's an example: when exa was in its infancy I had the bright idea to highlight the root user in red, in the same way that it highlights your current user in yellow, because, I don't know, root is "dangerous" or something. I ended up seeing so many red usernames that I stopped seeing it as "dangerous, beware" and started seeing it as "just another file" -- which completely defeated the point! Now, red is a lot more scarce (just +w permission and inodes. probably some file types. not many)
Because, really, who among us hasn't built and sold software used to harvest Amazon logins, bank account logins, and credit card numbers from botnets?
Obviously I won't condone everything they do, and internal corruption remains an issue (as we've seen with Bitcoin..), but US LE - at least at the federal level - is certainly not stupid. They have a level of strategic, tactical and technical intelligence that is objectively pretty impressive especially compared to where they were at, say, 20 years ago WRT computer security. That said, it certainly doesn't hurt that some of the highest-profile criminal "masterminds" of the past 3-5 years have had fairly sloppy opsec.
I don't think Patreon or any similar company would take the inevitable PR blows to satisfy a few free speech purists, and those few lack the numbers to support an ungoverned alternative. It's unfortunate that digital infrastructure that relies on a critical mass often has to come to fruition in the form of a business.
Shouldn't this be illegal in some form? It is morally reprehensible to use "money as free speech" to suppress scientific truth.
I've had mine for 9 months and on the whole I feel like I'm a bit faster typing than my previous MBP although I haven't actually instrumented that.

One thing I find is the keyswitches do seem to collect bits of dirt/crumbs and the like around the edges, and when that happens some become a bit sticky or dead feeling which definitely leads to typing issues. I give mine a good cleaning on a weekly basis with eyeglass cleaner wipes - I turn it off and rub vigorously over the keys. To really get the junk off around the key edges it can take a few passes, and when done well it feels like new.
To the credit of both Microsoft and the Rust team, Windows has become a much easier platform to develop on than when that sentence was written!
