Hey, good news, you're not alone.

This might help: https://waitbutwhy.com/2015/07/why-im-always-late.html

I really wish more people understood that being late for people like you (and me, and the blog author) isn't the same as it is for them, and can't be fixed simply. I need a support group, dammit!

The problem isn't really the 20 minutes it takes to get up to speed, but that each patient visit is only allocated to get 15.
So don't use iCloud backups. You're never required to. You can trivially back up through iTunes, even automatically via Wi-Fi assuming you have them on the same network regularly.

Anyone concerned about privacy, the first thing they should be ensuring is they are NOT using iCloud backup.
Thanks for the link to the pdf, I hadn't read that.
Every process already does run in its own virtualized address space, without VT-x. That's what virtual memory is and does. Spectre can cross process boundaries at points where processes have the same memory mapped into their private address space (to wit: shared libs). If you enable VT-x VMs to share chunks of memory, you'll have the same damn problem. (This may be what "Spectre type 2" is, I'm not sure).
How can you advocate for your own self-interest politically, if it is not connected to your identity?

How would you even decide what policies you want?

PG makes it seem like we could simply do politics by creating some ultimate utilitarian function. But then how do you decide what it counts as good?

In fact, there is no separating identity from politics, no matter how you try to obfuscate it.
That's the problem with Google being the default search for almost all browsers and almost all phones: The entire tech industry could unite against Google, and Google still has literally billions of users who don't know better.

I think the only answer is one which leaves everyone unsatisfied: Some ideas will be treated as transgressions; not all transgressions will be punished.

I think it's less "changing their sexual orientation" and more "keeping them away from those who can't defend themselves."
I don't believe the regulations that were repealed addressed any of that.
This is the reality for a lot of companies, they have built themselves around the baby boomers who are getting to old and dying off. They've all but ignored the younger generations and now must face the reality that soon no one will care about their brand and they'll wither and die just like their core demographic.

Even if millennials suddenly thought Harley was cool, they wouldn't have the money to afford one.
Pretty sure the orientation is not the problem, it is the victimization of minors, which is an action -- not a thought or a feeling.

> government's mostly laissez-faire approach to handling both

actually those are among the most heavily regulated and subsidized industries in the us.
I've developed software for Windows since the 90s, and for the past 4 years Linux is my host (where the IDE is).

I run Windows in VMs, mostly so I can roll-back to a snapshot when something breaks, or start in a predictable state.

Windows has too many moving parts, scantly documented processes, breaking updates, and decreasing amount of control. Over the years I've become tired of fighting with my computer in order to do what I'm paid for. I'm not a consumer, so why should I be using consumer-grade equipment?

I've tried "linux-izing" Windows, but it just makes it worse. Unless you're developing with what Microsoft currently wants you to, everything is an up hill battle.

(even when I developed in Windows I used VMs for running my code, so it's not a crutch because of Linux)
They should apply at Space X.
Well I'm paraphrasing Pascal's Wager which is about the Christian God - and the options therein of being heaven or hell.
Sounds like a false equivalence re: abortion.

There is science behind viability of a fetus for example that is used to determine guidelines and there is science behind behavioral therapy that disagrees with sexual conversion therapy.

On one side, you have people at least attempting science and rational thought, on the other side you literal magic thinking (religion) as the rationale, the two are not equal.
Why the down votes? Please explain your reasoning.
GPU Prices for February 24
Not trying to be antagonistic, but aren’t you kind of proving the point? You've shown the US funding for education is good, it’s comparable with other countries that have good education systems, but the results seem to be poorer. (I guess that’s what people are saying but I haven’t verified that myself.) Thus there seems to be inefficiency in how that funding is allocated/used compared to other countries. So increasing funding doesn’t seem necessary. But improving the system that uses that funding through the measures you’ve rightly identified seems... well obvious at this point. (And those points you've identified IMO are key to improving a lot of the broken systems we talk about.)

As anecdata about this misallocation in US education funding: I come from another part of the world (a first world country), and something that I have not, for the life of me, been able to reconcile with the funding arguments is the stupendous sports facilities that most schools have. High schools in the US have sports stadiums bigger than many cities where I come from. If there were a real funding problem in an education system, sports should be the first thing to downsize in order to protect the core mission. But the priorities are just not aligned right for education.
Not to mention - BRK is more than just Buffet - it's also Munger. This is pure speculation, but I would have to guess that the people next in line are chosen for a certain code of ethics consistent with WB/CM.
Alternatively they could do away with lane splitting. It's dangerous and unnerving for everyone else.
Only as of October of 1941, at best. If you read many contemporary accounts, Red peril is nearly as significant as Nazi, and isolationist sentiments were strong until the German declaration of war.

It's forgotten that the worst excesses of Nazism were concealed for years, and kicked into high gear in the wake of Barbarossa. Also how widespread and mainstream anti-Semitism and belief in eugenics were in the inter-war period.
My guess is the myth persists largely because trolls hired by the Koch Brothers and the fossil fuel industry keep pushing it.
This is very low compensation for experienced work in the Bay Area if it's total compensation. Yes, new graduates do regularly make ~200k/yr total compensation.
> very few highly qualifies Indians are moving

I am not commenting on the quality of the input; I don’t know, in that respect. Just outputs. Those who moved earned more, raised (or failed) faster, exited earlier, et cetera. Granted, very few were H1-Bs.
Your claim about average Asian countries isn't supported by the actual results. Asia is extraordinarily poor at the median and average, under-developed, and with low educational attainment. There are a billion people in Asia without access to proper sanitation, who have less than the equivalent of a 5th grade US education. It's simply unfair to compare most of Asia to the developed world.

If they're so great, where are the results of that? The reality is, the elite math outcomes of Asia are superior to that of the US, no question. The bottom 50% of Asia barely has any formal education at all. Their extremely low economic development matches their extremely low educational development. According to UNESCO, 35% of all the world's people that are illiterate are in India. That makes it practically impossible to do comprehensive, fair comparisons with developed nations.

Myanmar - $1,272; 2% of the US

Cambodia - $1,389; 2.3% of the US

For a second there I thought it was going to be a cut for cut remake of the Star Trek TNG intro.
"Trump Administration Restricts H-1B Worker Visas Coveted By High Tech" is the title.

> If the way Infosys and Tata use the H-1B visa is abuse then so is how Microsoft, Google and Facebook use it.

Infosys and Tata enable companies to abuse H-1B laws. Disney use them.

Your statement also imply that Microsoft, Google, and Facebook is abusing too and no difference between Infosys and Tata. There is a small difference that I've stated but all of them are abusing it.

The point of contention is not that the Indians are stealing our job. The point is the people who are using H-1B visa are unable to negotiate wages which depresses their American counterpart wages.
Only thing I can't figure out is why is anyone buying into it in the first place?

Has the publishers not learned anything from Facebook taking their content and readers hostage? Sure, it gives you traffic boost in the beginning, but sooner or later it will force you to play by their rules and generate content for them.
Just one more thing to fix then.

Even if these companies wants to double down on EB-1C, it’d still be much harder to bring in low skill tech workers as “multi-national managers”
Regarding drivers and general hardware support. If you buy hardware that doesn't work well with Linux, you will have to deal with hardware that doesn't work well with Linux.

But I get it, you don't like Linux.

Hope he got out of that relationship. You don't want to marry into crazy.
I think it's phrased that way to emphasize the -- perhaps unintuitive -- dichotomy, not to suggest that people be tactless or thoughtless. The way I (admittedly not British) read it is:

- "strong opinion" - I've thought about this a lot and it seems reasonable and justifiable enough to base my actions on it.

- "weakly held" - I recognize that I'm not a perfect being and can discard my opinions if I come across new, convincing evidence that contradicts them.

The main difference I think is avoiding equating "strong" with "brutish" and "weak" with "pushover". I think when those terms are applied to people that's how we think of them, but they just mean very different things in an academic/intellectual context.
I feel the same way about rent..
The second paragraph's mention of Jewish Nazis actually is correct, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National.... Almost anyone can become a Nazi. Unfortunately, it turns out that being a Nazi, does not save you from the Nazis.
I feel like there is much more of propaganda than insight in this piece. For one, because it looks specifically at Nazi-ism, and collaboration, rather than at fascism from the home front.

Secondly, it reeks of 'The good old boy' and the idea that a good man could never be deceived. It promotes a sense that, if you are simply American enough, you can escape the feverish grip of nationalism or public panic.
>the contorted thought processes people go through to justify one hour stops for full recharges

But everybody knows you need to stop a full hour to pee for every two hours of driving else you might die. Think about all the delicious restaurant meals and fun you haven't had because you never needed to wait for your ICE car to recharge in the middle of nowhere.
they write pretty 3D graphics ray tracing software, how does that make them good for space-x? pixar or nvidia, maybe
I really admire the value this piece has as a composition. Or, the clouds, rings, and water terrain individually work as cool demoscene shaders, but flipping them on/off depending where the camera is gives it a great sense of scale.
Mr. Trump would like more immigrants from Norway, not Sweden (easily confused with Norway).

Ask HN: Why won't US Companies hire remote Canadians?
For the 10 years I've been on hacker news and this is the first time I felt compelled to ask a question.

I see tons of remote full-time jobs especially on StackOverflow in the US for 100-120K USD which to a remoting Canadian is an insantity and never once will I get a reply. If its a contract job then yes I'll get a response, or if its Canadian company I always get a response but a US startup wants US only employees. The Canadian salary wage for programmers is paltry especially for remoting. It sits between 55K-70K CAD. I regret not moving to San Francisco years ago and the only way to get a fair wage was to go self-employeed and load up on 4-5 contracts a time and now you're running a business. Its not even hard to hire a Canadian since you can just contract them out.

How can you get US companies to consider hiring a remote Canadian? There must be a way to hack this.
Judge tosses out that defamation lawsuit against HBO and John Oliver
I don't get that, though: there's little to no penalty in this case to avoid "defecting". Things may cost a little more for you, but it's not nearly as drastic or dire as the expected outcome in the actual prisoner's dilemma if you don't defect.
Based on the current climate it would not be surprising if this ends up being a ‘blame the Russians’ moment
SQIII was the greatest of all the games they made.
Is there really a need for 24 hour doctor visits most of the time?

No. Doctors can have mostly normal 8-hour workdays, 5 times per week. Nurses administer drugs and monitor the patients. If a problem arise, they can call the doctor in charge of the patient or bring the doctor doing the night —or weekend— shift.
> Politics, like religion, is a topic where there's no threshold of expertise for expressing an opinion. All you need is strong convictions.

I like how in this context it sounds obviously flawed, and yet, funny enough, we still have no better political system than for everyone to express their opinion and then count them — no expertise required
So, if, for instance, the price of energy dropped to zero, people's consumption of it would become infinite. And ditto for anything else that people use. For some reason I find that rather improbable.
It's the Ramanujan Effect.
It's also raytraced/marched too, right? Reducing the resolution where possible might help with performance. I'm not sure if there's an easy way to do that via ShaderToy though.
Common Lisp has CLOS. I'm aware some purists don't think Scheme is a Lisp but, regardless of one's stance on this, there are most definitely other Lisps than Common Lisp.
The author, Dorothy Thompson, was a key journalist and personality who encouraged the U.S. entry into WW2. The book "Those Angry Days" by Lynne Olson describes the struggle between the interventionists and the isolationists.
> ...and flat earth theory also has a lot in common with religion.

I wouldn't say so. At least not in the epistemic/anti-epistemic way that parallels climate-change denialism. Most religions make a lot of unfalsifiable claims. Since opponents cannot conclusively falsify those claims, it gives religious adherents an epistemic place to hide and claim personal religious experiences, etc.

Most religions have not, in the main, been conclusively refuted, since they involve events that happened thousands of years ago, and even when something is shown to have not happened, the adherents have good precedent for claiming that a given portion is allegorical. Since religious interpretation is rife with different viewpoints, they'll even have a respected theologian to point to who called it in advance.

Flat-eartherism is a horse of a different color. It makes a bunch of falsifiable predictions, which have subsequently been falsified many different ways. Then its proponents just ignore the evidence and keep on believing their viewpoint anyway. Epistemologically, climate change denial has a lot more in common with this than it does with religion.

I say this as an anti-theist. I don't have much good to say about religion, but I'd rather deal with someone who believes things which can't be proven rather than someone who believes things that have been conclusively disproven. Religious people are in that way a lot like anyone else. They aren't as deluded as someone who can look at clear evidence and simply ignore it.
This is why people rent to techies among other things.
ScriptEd (scripted.org) has a curriculum on GitHub which might be helpful to your friend.
The government is also involved in lots of other things without exploding costs. I’d say the common thread is the combination of these factors: 1) the service is considered essential by consumers and 2) payments are deferred (by insurance or student loans). So consumers never say no due to rising prices.
I just worked 10 years at a public state University. The inefficiency, cronyism, and often blatant corruption is staggering. At least with respect to universities, there is some magic bank of "misused" money waiting to be tapped. But it is in no one's interests - not the high paid administrators, not the powerful local real estate developers and other businesses, and not the state and national politicians who generally work out a way to personally benefit from those big expensive projects.

Fun example of inefficiency,
- 2 units at university using same enterprise software package
- I propose consolidating to one license, 1 server, both departments split cost.
- Both department heads agree, both IT depts agree, campus IT agrees
- cancelled last minute
- that was 7 years ago, by now both departments combined (not each) would have saved $250k
I think it was more “an unrelated track of language that we’ll disregard for the purposes of this article”. Being “on that X shit” uses “shit” neutrally. It’s a flexible noun in this context. You can have “that good shit”, for example.
The intention of H1B is not to bring the smartest people, its to limit the supply of immigrants.

A Visa designed to let smart people come in would not need a quota.
Part of the fun of riding a motorbike is hearing the majestic roar from the engine as you accelerate from 1-60 mph in a handful of seconds. This is not for everyone, no, but electric motorbikes makes me personally laugh.
Touchscreen support on a 2-in-1 laptop when consuming content is a much better experience in Windows than in Linux. But it's nice to have nix tools available without rebooting. brings windows closer to mac in terms of (polished OS apps w/ nix power tooling)

All (2 in 1) screen related things on Windows just work better.

Second the emacs tips though(bar tramp support hassle what with lack of ssh command on win - there are workarounds though)
What an awful article. The author starts by ascribing a biological basis to a person's likelihood to be a Nazi. In that respect, she's no better than them.

National-socialism was a collectivist ideology. It was grouping people according to a hierarchy of "races", in other words judging individuals according to their ancestry. It was fundamentally horrible not because of its form of collectivism, but because it was both collectivistic and totalitarian.

Human action is driven by ideas and personal choices, not by collective biological origins or urges, nor by "feeding", nor by "physical training."

If you want a deeper, intellectual, practical understanding of what made Nazi Germany possible read "The Ominous Parallels" (1982) [1] or an extract titled "The Cause of Hitler's Germany" [2].

Haskell seems to be the language to learn if you're into physics, math and blockchains. I feel exactly like I did right before I became a web developer. I felt it was a no-brainer to learn Javascript. Is Haskell a no-brainer for 2025?
Hospitals should post prices of their procedures in the lobby. A surgeon gets $500 to repair a hernia and the hospital pulls in $5k for the ancillary services. The surgeon has to see the patient,make the diagnosis, provide the treatment, provide the aftercare and be the 'face'. The hospital-insurance complex has managed to create this fantasy world with complicated rules and somehow have sequestered themselves from the free market. They set their own prices and by virtue of being of local monopolies thwart the ability of the individual to choose. Hospitals have become like cable companies.
Wow, I miss those... Software from that era was just more fun... Things have gotten a little sterile since
How many of the above countries were destroyed in imperialism, world wars and subsequent American wars?

Look at China and India today. By not getting involved in any wars, they focused on their economies and got themselves out of it. India is only 70 years old as opposed to 250 of United States. They are behind because the British empire robbed them of their wealth.

Asia is poor because of global circumstances, not because their education is worse than America.

In the last two decades, we observe rapid rise in Asian countries and rapid decline in America. Part of the reason is American disinterest in competing by raising their kids well. Americans want to spend more on war than on research and education. Meanwhile, away from wars, Asian economies finally reflect the growth that their investment in education should be reflecting.

Asian GDP per capita is also a flawed measure of anything. Life is cheaper there, production is higher quality (not higher quantity). Your use GDP as your ranking score is flawed at best.
I don't know why my phone corrected enjoyable to entitle above, but it's amusing.

I don't disagree on public transit, but IMO on an individual level it's not practical until group buyin.
Its not that high of a bar.
He didn't have any bone to pick with the language _per se_, but rather with the inability to easily replace an app running in the browser with a modified version, even though the license allows you to do so. It was arguably a lot easier to modify scripts in place in 2009 with tools like Proxomitron or extensions like Greasemonkey, but modern complex SPAs made that harder.

It's a reasonable argument against JS in the browser, but it's not what actually bothers the vast majority of the detractors of JS. They hate the language itself and the rapidly changing Node.js ecosystem. RMS wouldn't have any issue with Node.js apps, since it's dead simple to modify and replace a free app there.
Right?? Why do you think I'm writing about how much better we could make our working conditions, if we organized and negotiated together?

These ideas and methods aren't new (organizing and negotiating together), and they've been largely effective in this country and elsewhere.

And, hey, like I said to the other person, you don't have to do it, if you're happy with the crumbs the owners toss your way. You do you.

For the rest of us, we don't have to be content with our lot in life--we can be the change we wish to see. Good quote!
