Interesting! I bought one a few years ago, and other than slightly cheaper plastic extrusion, I can’t tell that there’s anything worse about this than a classic Model M.

To your second point, when it came time to get a mechanical keyboard for a open plan office, I bought a firm, but non-clacky Cherry switch keyboard. I quite like feel of it... there’s something satisfying about the Unicomp / Model M, but I can’t help but think the actual typing experience of the Rosewill generic Cherry keyboard isn’t a bit better.
Yes. The line right above it:

y = strlen(r);
> For instance, when copying a file to Drive, the execution of the command will take as long as the upload process itself. Once finished, an exit status of 0 will indicate precisely that the upload was successful and the file is certainly on Drive.

That is awesome. Very clever!
> Wow, you are demonstrating a high level off cognitive dissonance here. I claimed that Kraken was the only place that regular traders could trade a USD-USDT pair. You try to argue I’m wrong by pointing to an exchange that has a USD-TrueUSD pair?

Yes, and I stated why I thought that was relevant. Feel free to provide a counter-argument. You realize that any supposed 'USD' pair is equivalent to a promise to pay you USD by the entity that issues it, right? Which means that a USD pair and a USD-backed token are literally the same thing: Promises to pay USD. How meaningful they are is contingent upon the trustworthiness of the issuing entity. TrueUSD is a regularly audited US-based company with real VC backing and transparent accounting. TrueUSD is much more meaningful than a Bittrex or Kraken USD pair.

> Bittrex does not have a USD-USDT pair available for regular traders. They are literally just testing this service this week with a limited pool of users.

They've been testing it longer than that, and a decent number of people have access to it.

> As to who might have a vested interest in maintaining the appearance of the dollar-tether peg, come on. That’s not too hard to figure out.

I didn't say that. I asked why someone would be interested in wash trading. Re-read what I actually wrote, and feel free to respond to literally any of the substance of it.
The Science review quoted has been since edited “to remove an unattributed quote.” It appears to me to be quite reasonable.
It's always good to see services of big companies being turned into highly useful but faceless commodities!
yes, companies sharing peoples salaries without their consent and then using that to lowball new employees. I hate such things.

> This is neat! Can I use this for multiple accounts? I've been looking for a MacOS and Linux solution for this exact problem but I'd like to use it for 3-4 Google accounts.

The current release allows you to mount a single account for each local user. For the moment, you could work around this limitation by creating another user on your machine and running a separate instance of GCSF as the new user. I created an issue [0] and will work on adding support for multiple accounts in a future release.

> How easy is it to use a language like Rust for some web connection stuff like what is being used here? I've never used the language, but I've always been interested in it.

You can make HTTP requests relatively easily with the help of hyper [1]. In the case of this project, I was lucky to have some useful libraries readily available: yup-oauth2 [2], google-drive3 [3]. I would place Rust somewhere below Python in terms of existing tools and support (for instance, Google doesn't provide any official client libraries for Rust, but it does for Python), but making relatively simple applications is completely achievable (and fun as well) in Rust.

I can't tell you it's the same cause, but you can see this phenomenon in many industries, such as entertainment. After WWII, the U.S. was the only wealthy country left untouched and it dominated the world. Around half of world GDP was produced in the U.S. (an astounding number); all the leading scholars and scientists had moved to the U.S. (for example, think of the language and the location of pre- and post-WWII physics); the U.S. also became the world's dominant military and political power, as well as the leading cultural power (from democracy and human rights to Hollywood films to jazz to Elvis). As a result, if you wanted to be a world leader in almost anything, you had to do it in the U.S.

Also, the international language of (seemingly) everything became English, from science to, importantly in this context, computer code. When a Finnish graduate student created his new operating system, the code and his announcement were in English. Assuming you are a native English-speaker, imagine if programming languages, HTML, and network traffic were in French - how many fewer English-speakers would step over that hurdle and learn to code, to hack? How many teenagers would give it a try out of curiosity if they have to learn another language to do it? Imagine you are a French musician; what is the chance that a song you record in French will be heard in the U.S. or worldwide? Ever hear a French song in the U.S.? See French musicians on major tours in the U.S.? Can Americans name one French musician? But can people in France name American musicians? Do English-speaking U.S. musicians tour France? All the time, AFAIK.

Those things persist today, U.S. businesses still have an economic advantage; they can sell to an internal market of 320 million people, all in one language - and at ~$19 trillion annual GDP the largest internal market in the world by far (not counting the EU, which is a complicated topic). Then they can sell to another 100 million+ in other wealthy, English-speaking countries, and then to the rest of the world accustomed to hearing pop songs in English and watching movies in English. A French business has similar access to 60 million, plus part of Canada.

IME, Americans often don't realize how the modern world was built around them.
Same, was reviewing alternatives to mingle a short while ago, saw nothing of this product.
Ask HN: What's up with “No *sshole” Policies?
I have seen several HN job listings and one Fort Lauderdale beach bar declaring "No Asshole" policies. Being a long-time contract developer, I have observed many a shop and have never seen a situation that even came close to necessitating such a policy. But maybe I am out of touch. Is there an epidemic of bad behavior in tech? Back in my day it went without saying that one handled oneself in the workplace better even than in other social settings, because work was one's meal ticket. Not so any more? ps. I am not saying we did not have prima donnas back then, just that they were manageable.
TL;DR: Autonomy; which holds true for adults and children.
Agreed, anyone who has access to this and hasn't leaked it is a collaborator.
Experimental physics is not “a mass of random observations.”
While that might be true, it seems like incorrectly accounting for quality improvements in a subset of goods is a rather small nitpick in comparison to things like poor accounting for rapid changes in housing, healthcare, education, and child care costs in many locations. PCE is a better measure of inflation than CPI in my opinion, and even that is lacking.
Indeed, it's great to see Microsoft both using Rust and open sourcing some of the work. As a major user of Rust at our startup (aside: we're hiring Rust engineers), it's great to see it gaining mainstream momentum month-by-month.
I don't know about the other poster, but while I do experience all of those, I also have visual noise, color flashing and movement, even with my eyes open in bright conditions.

The best description is that I basically don't see flat even colors anywhere. There is always some amount of colorful noise. It's not that bad, and I can mostly tune it out. But it is always there.

I know phosphenes are normal, visual stuff that happens when you close your eyes. I have them all the time.

I don't know if it's related, but I regularly get migraines that are usually not painful, just uncomfortable and accompanied by strong auras.
Open plan is a special place in hell. Might as well use a decent keyboard while you are there.
> I’ve just said the most interesting thing I’ve ever heard on the topic, and I’m still bored with it.

Thanks, I chuckled. It's true that the conversation contains a big amount of things that are obvious and trivial as soon as somebody understands them.

Maybe you could make it more interesting if you start to question your own existence, but it's definitely possible that you don't have the problems that most people have with this topic. In this case you found a shortcut to enlightenment. Congratulations! (this is no sarcasm. I like how you interact with those ideas and still believe they're boring af).
Not true. I listed the sites that Mindgeek owns above. There are no secret subsidiaries. The porn industry is incredibly competitive, if it wasn't, my job wouldn't be so difficult.

Not sure what you are referring to as implemented natively in GNOME.

One crucial difference is the fact that Backup and Sync picks up local files (which exist physically on the user's machine) and uploads them to a special Drive directory in the background. GCSF does not store anything locally unless you tell it to. It simply creates a virtual directory and reports its content and file tree structure so that it matches whatever exists on Drive.
Sequestration should not be part of a market for CO2 certificates. Sure, you could earn money by sequestering CO2 and selling certificates generated by the process. But you will have to buy them back when the CO2 leaks. And it should diffuse out of the atirahe over time, albeit slowly. So you might eventually have to buy back the certificates instead of earning the money required to maintain the filled up CO2 storage for, well, virtually forever.
> Hasn’t Marxism had its chance?

Marx said "I will not write recipes for the kitchen of the future". As Marx refused to create a "Marxism" for someone to implement, how can Marxism have been tried? It's a question asked by someone who knows little to nothing of him. It's like someone new to computers asking which programming language to learn. There is no answer as it is a naive question. The answer is any or all languages, and they should be studying algorithms and data structures and programming language principles, not the specific mechanism for counting how many characters are in a string in a particular language.

> how many precedents are there for a complete upheaval of the economic system

The upheaval around the time of behavioral modernity. The transition from hunter-gatherer to agriculture. From imperial Rome latifundias to feudalism. From feudalism to capitalism. Then the stirrings of post-capitalist systems from the Paris Commune top now. So that's quite a few changes over the past millennia.

Also Marx said these systems are not overthrown, they self-destruct. Kind of like the Great Depression - due to the internal logic of capitalism, companies will shut, evictions will rise, unemployment will skyrocket, and no internal mechanism of capitalism will have a solution to this.
I disagree with your response, for the reasons I already outlined in my question, but thanks for the reply. I see where you’re coming from. Don’t want to start an argument, but I promise to read more along these lines to see if someone else can convince me you’re right.
Should be achievable using winfsp[0]. I will look into it for a future release.

Or better yet, reduce prices all around. Think of all your expenses and look at ways to systematically reduce them for everyone. Start with food, get a meal down to less than a dollar.

Rent is high because everyone wants to move to certain dense areas, while moving away from more spacious/rural areas. This is unsustainable. Offer incentives for people to move elsewhere, including jobs programs and subsidizing mass transit to less dense/rural areas. Offer mass transit everywhere to reduce transport costs.
I took a physics class taught like that last year, and my experience was the opposite. Because the teaching team expected that students had read and understood the material before class (hint: very few people read it, even fewer understood it), the TAs and professors went waaay faster than they should have, and the class was one of the most stressful experiences I've had at college. Nobody liked it.
IMHO the real action in physics is the appearance of simple, clear-cut phenomena arising in complex systems.

Perfectly correct. However, my comment was not about the approach to learning - hence me labelling it a digression.
>>And due to their lack of scientific acumen, they’ve focused on using different raw material mixers for cement which are introduced after the carbon intensive portion of the process.

That someone does not share your goals says nothing of their scientific acumen. There are plenty of intelligent scientists working in the concrete industry. Their priorities may be different, but they are not bad scientists.

Concrete is also a consumer product. Real change has to come from the architects and engineers who create the demand. But finding a true low-carbon alternative, a real alternative, is exceptionally difficult. Properly designed and maintained concrete structures can last centuries.
Ah, the Model M. The red Swingline stapler of techies.

Hint: If you think you "need"a Model M, or even a Cherry MX blue board, YOU'RE TYPING TOO HARD. Get an Apple keyboard and practice typing with a light touch.
CMGI and the other “incubators” of that era were nothing like YC. The label “accelerator” was applied to YC years after it was started because of the need for a generic term to describe YC and all of the clones. Whether or not that label was previously used for some other kind of business is irrelevant.
Thanks zukzuk. Matches the sibling comment. This sounds reasonable - believing it’s a good lens to view the world through. I’m certain there’s value in that, don’t know if I agree it’s the best lens, but you’ve answered my question well.

No, you put a racing stripe and a spoiler on a dumptruck, and then talked about its aerodynamic qualities.

Not all industries are happy about ecological actions. That game will have winners and losers.. The Earth as a biosphere will "win", but there's a lot of industries that lose.

Last I checked, the Earth's biosphere isn't paying the politicians. The dirty companies, well, they are.
I've grown to realise that I need to work on something I care deeply about. My satisfaction is derived from doing something I know is worthwhile and beyond just myself.
Additionally, it won’t work at full capacity all of the time. The capacity factors as seen in actual existing commercial installations usually range betweeen 40% and 60%, so the average power output here will be rather 1-1.7 MW instead of 3 MW
Well, today we have tools (and math) that are infinitely more powerful than what we had a hundred years ago, while, in comparison, progress in fundamental physics is now infinitesimally slow. That should tell you something.
I think it comes from Netflix originally (https://crooksandliars.com/2015/02/netflix-shares-their-corp...) and is meant to indicate to applicants an engineering culture where high-performing yet horribly difficult people are counseled out. This seems like simple good management, but there have been enough companies that didn't follow it that it's worth pointing out.
Yes this is true. Also most porn subscriptions have "cross-sales" meaning you get signed up to another subscription when you join the first. This leads to higher chargebacks.

I run product for Pornhub Premium, we have a clean, no cross-sale offer and it's very easy to cancel, our chargeback ratio is near 0.

The judge says he will be hanged. Your comments are inconsistent.
I really appreciate the way you've articulated your thoughts on this. It helped me reflect once again on the way Nietzsche affected me when I first read him.

I was about 20 years old, and had lost several important friends while also briefly dropping out of college. Saw Nietzsche on a bookshelf while making an effort to continue my education independently as I saved money. I was young enough to earnestly jump into pursuing "the whole damn truth," and my mental health be damned. Cue years of unrelenting depressiveness, self-absorption, solipsism, fragile and tragic romantic relationships, etc.

I completely agree, and I think a lot of people who don't "get" Nietzsche are actually reacting to his ideas perfectly rationally with respect to their (not necessarily anti-intellectual) values in life. I for one would have been much more fortunate to have studied him in an academic setting, with a group of peers. I recall reading once that Nietzsche's ideas are valuable insofar as one finds a resistance to them.

I tell people that there's a circle of hell reserved for people who steal office supplies and take long shits on the job. It consists of an open-plan office where you have to prepare long complicated reports that are due by COB each day, working cheek-by-jowl with your fellow damned.

Behind you, there are rows of demons eating apples, crisps, pretzels, nuts, and other crunchy things. Maybe some of the demons should be working Model M keyboards, as well.
This issue is one of the subtexts in Gordon’s “The Rise and Fall of American Growth”.
Since we're talking Model M, I will leave here my two cents about this whole mechanical keyboard wave that's been going on for some years now.

And before everyone downvotes me:

- yes, I own a mechanical keyboard (more than one, actually).

- Yes, one of them is a Model M. I also own an Unicomp Endura Pro (the one with the TrackPoint).

- Yes I have used some other Cherry-based keyboard (cherry blue and another color I didn't care remembering)

- Yes I have used a Topre-based keyboard.

Well, here is my two cents: mechanical keyboard are pointless.

It's one of those memes of this industry (like stickers on laptops). While I acknowledge that some membrane keyboard typing experience are atrocious, sometimes it's just a matter of brand/model. For example the "Dell Business Multimedia Keyboard" typing experience is remarkably good (link: https://www.amazon.com/KB522-Dell-Business-Multimedia-Compat...).

Quite frankly, I'd throw my Endura Pro in the trash can if that Dell Keyboard was available with the addition of a TrackPoint.

Mechanical keyboards offer no real typing aid, no speed-up, they are heavy, noisy (the "hey everybody look at me" kind of noisy), they have unnecessary accessories (rgb lighting wave effect? but why?) and above all they are unreasonably expensive.

Quite frankly, the best keyboard I have used so far is the ThinkPad USB Keyboard (1st gen, basically an X220 keyboard within a nice enclosure with a decent palmrest). It's light and checks all of my boxes. And it's not louder than a regular keyboard.
What exactly (as if anyone can know) caused the wage growth and productivity to split in the 1970s?

There are independent measures besides official CPI numbers. For example MIT's Billion Prices Project. These alternatives measures show that CPI is doing pretty good job.

I don't believe your assumptions: fashion and marketing matter.

Contrarians often claim "the old version was better!" It's not clear that more features is a substantial quality improvement.
Strongly disagree. There is nothing quite like the pleasure I get from a used book which someone has thoughtfully annotated. I would pay a premium for it, in fact.
There are many other reasons for chargebacks: Perhaps the product isn't what was advertised or not what the buyer expected. Perhaps the seller doesn't provide the product, either due to fraud, incompetence, or a technical problem. Perhaps there's simply a misunderstanding.

EDIT: Apparently chargeback may be the major issue for porn payment processing:

"there's something wrong with attempting to conceive some sort of an ideology to back up the drug use"

Could it be that there's something wrong with not having one?

Most traditional societies with long histories of psychedelic use have some sort of ideology or framework in which to fit and to interpret the psychedelic experience. This is used to guide and structure the experience, and it could be argued that it's precisely when such a framework is lacking that all sorts of problems start to occur for many users of these substances -- they are thrown back on their own devices for interpretation of the experience, and many of them are incapable of doing so constructively.

Our own society is really just in its infancy in trying to integrate psychedelic use in a constructive, helpful manner. Psychedelic use in a sacred context is one approch that some people are trying, psychedelic use in a medical or therapeutic context is another. The jury is still out on which of those is better. Maybe none of them is. Perhaps in the future we'll find an even better one.
