If. It is likely to pass the House?

> of course trump will sign it

If Trump supports it, why doesn't he instruct Ajit Pai to implement this policy, or if he doesn't want to do it, why doesn't he replace Ajit Pai with somebody whose views on the subject align with those of Trump? I think it might be because Trump doesn't actually support it.
> What would be a viable alternative?

Not attempting to the arbiter of truth and falsehood would be one.

Or reporting on what users think of a story's truthfulness: "49% rate this story as true, 21% rate it as untrue".

Or, if they want to be honest, acknowledging that it is about policing taboo thoughts. "Smith, 4980203 Winston. This article is crimethink! Warning: If you read too many articles like it your Citizen Credit Score will be downgraded. You have been warned!". OK, maybe they won't go for that :-)
About half the people who cared to vote voted for Trump. He is popular and represents big part of the US population. There are educated, very smart and open minded people who voted for him. To imply that doing anything that shows respect or support for him implies hate is to show extremely limited working view and bigotry.
The amount of weight you have or had or lost (in lbs or kg) does not tell the reader anything about your height, age, or BMI.
That's the idea but it's a lot more complicated than, I buy a title search, I buy title insurance. I'm covered 100%.
I think the simpler the plan the easier it is to maintain.

I lost weight and maintain it without any exercise, dieting and only minimal portion control (which is now super easy and I can cheat whenever I want, even every day).

How I have lost weight, and not only maintained the lost weight, but also continue to slightly lose more, is to be ok with being hungry.

Being hungry is good and normal and if you can get to this point mentally then every meal tastes better, you eat less automatically (some portion control is related, next paragraph) and when you are hungry your stomach has contracted some and you need less food to feel full. Also, you have more energy, and more time (less spent on dealing with food).

To ensure you are hungry before the next meal, eat less and less every time until you understand your body intuitively. Not with measures, but with skill honed by experience, customized information/data to your exact body and life.

An average day (currently), I make an egg/milk (add ice to make a shake) type drink for breakfast and lunch. Sometimes a very light lunch, and then I eat whatever I want to for dinner. Anything I feel like. (anyone can find something super light, just to get you through a few hours, and then be hungry before lunch.)

If in the future my energy level changes? (from more/less exercise or activity) Then so will my hunger status, which automatically adjusts how much I eat.

But feeling hungry has to be ok. I like being hungry for about an hour before I eat a meal.

This is with no exercise at all, none.

Also, when on vacation, if I pig out (not as enjoyable as it used to be) or drink more than usual, then it doesn't matter at all, because if I go up a few pounds, they will shed easily in the next couple days.

--Experiment from the past year.

Last year (summer) I did intermittent fasting, and got up to running 2 miles a day. I lost 15 pounds in a month. I kept most of it off, but limited my running a lot after this, and by December I decided to see if pure strength exercising would be enough to control weight. It was not, I gained weight, mostly muscle, but my waist did not shrink.

Then last January, I decided to try the "be hungry and ok" technique, and I've done this for about 8 months. My weight has consistently fluctuated in a downward trend. I will never go back to gorging, exercise for weight loss or any of that really stressful stuff, it doesn't work long term for me.

I will start running again soon, and it may help with weight loss, but I won't rely on it. I exercise to be strong and healthy, not to fix my eating problems anymore.

Cheers and encourage to everyone dealing with health and weight issues.
> The company wants to make debt collection, if not kinder or gentler, then certainly more efficient.

Yikes.
I know, right? Almost like someone decided that investing a little bit of energy to manipulate a relatively small forum whose members wield an out-sized amount of power might generate a spectacular bang for the buck.
I'm still very curious what combination of variables leads to these complaints about Electron apps. I have never experienced any of these issues, and I have heavily used Electron apps like Slack, Discord, and Visual Studio Code for years on both high-end and modest Apple computers.

Electron apps appear to be one of the biggest pain points for people in tech and the HN community, and I find it so bizarre that I relate to exactly zero of those complaints.

The really charitable thing to do would be to recognize that there are indigenous, albeit relatively young compared to the old world, American ethnic groups with their own culture and cuisine. This is a consequence of demographic change. Historical Americans are just another set of ethnic groups now, equal with any other.

Another big reason for the decline in the quality of these cuisines is that the old people who know how to make them are retiring and dying and their descendants aren't interested in maintaining their own culture.
There's the loan forgiveness program if you work at a non-profit or in education for 10 years. That seems like one pathway out at least for the Federal loans.

There are some people who don't pay the loans at all and take the credit hit and find their tax refunds taken. The interesting thing is that the refund directly reduces the principal and is not applied to the interest. For some people that seems to be a reasonable mitigation. I could be misremembering the details here though.

The other thing is that people need to vote. Vote for politicians who will reform student loans.
> I haven’t noticed any change in my Internet connectivity since so-called net neutrality regulations were rolled back.

That's just because of how slow ISPs are at reacting to anything. I know product owners at a couple cable companies and they are actively modifying their systems to take advantage of the new lack of net neutrality.

> That said, the fears of a single party dictating what you can and can’t see on the Internet are not just clear, they’re present. How many net neutrality supporters stood up for Alex Jones? Or say anything about shadow bans on Twitter, Facebook, and Google search results based on organizational capriciousness?

Net Neutrality regulates the ISPs. If he were banned from Comcast or something so that he couldn't have internet connectivity, then that would be applicable.
Why would the Defense Dept. choose Google or Microsoft cloud? I wouldn't put US military cloud on GCP or Azure after the Project Maven and ICE thing. Even if they were cheaper. Those companies are full of people who have demonstrated willingness to sabotage America's defenses. Their names are on anti-America petitions around the internet.

Amazon has proven willingness to assist military and law enforcement using cloud facial recognition technologies in the face of criticism from detractors. Of course AWS will win.

Many people (myself included) have never meaningfully used the OOP elements of JS you are referring to. The approaches listed above are common JS patterns and ones that I and I think most JS devs have used extensively.

However, they don't really solve any of the problems that Elm sets out to try and tackle. Do you have any examples?

Also these patterns certainly do not make any other languages obsolete, and as far as I'm concerned it doesn't solve _any_ of the problems with JS that people complain about.
Just talk. Maybe 5 sessions?

It basically boiled down to (in his case) "so your heart is beating fast? that's ok. not a big deal."

It is always amazing to watch an expert in any field distill a seemingly complex problem into a simple one with a simple solution (at least in my son's case).

Obviously, his decades of expertise was able to eliminate a world of root-cause possibilities and guide the conversation to help my son believe this simple conclusion.

He'd also induce panic attacks by having him breathe through a narrow straw. Probably helped to demystify them and practice dealing with them.
Although maybe not as strongly, I sympathize with your comment because of the feeling that we are moving away from indirect reputation (like certificates, diplomas, etc) and towards direct reputation.

I've posted about it before:

"The reasoning goes: the reasons why we need degrees are certification and reputation. By certification I mean that we only let people who we all trust practice medicine, as that kills people directly otherwise. So we restrict the people who can to those with the appropriate degrees.

The second point is more relevant to most other careers. A degree is nothing but a more reputable institution 'lending' reputation to its graduates. The reason this is necessary is because nobody's got the time to verify whether every person knows Computer Science - we're better off just knowing that people from University of X know CS if UoX says so. Even if you're going to personally interview every candidate for a job opening, still relying on degrees helps you filter candidates.

The thing is our interactions are recorded to the level that we can now reason about individuals in a way that was not possible before. Why do I need to trust UoX if I can mine your entire internet presence with reasonably comparable effort?"

I still think we (broadly, the folks who seem to be the core audience of HN) are the ones most likely to make this transition first.

CSPA looks like a step in the complete opposite direction.

Personally, I too hope it fails as I think that if it ever becomes the norm the best case scenario is no better on my end; and in the worst case scenario, it can be a living nightmare.
They also essentially failed to make an ISP, so not a great comparison.
A quote from Tao of Seneca really stuck with me.

"You may desire to know how I, who preach to you so freely,
am practicing. I confess frankly: my expense account balances,
as you would expect from one who is free-handed but careful. I
cannot boast that I waste nothing, but I can at least tell you what
I am wasting, and the cause and manner of the loss; I can give you
the reasons why I am a poor man."

Basically it's not to always do the right thing but at least be accountable to yourself.
I think you completely missed the point. Which was that while democracy is the best system we have, most implementations are crap. Remember that on paper even communism sounds good. Although while hotly debating the Brexit topic with whataboutism you just made my point without realizing.

Not only are most people easily manipulated into believing they want something when they actually need something else or their votes are simply bought with "trinkets", sometimes they are also not even being offered those trinkets in the end. Their vote is worth nothing the second they cast it.

You're focusing too much on Brexit, it was just an example. Politicians fooled people into thinking they vote for (among others) more money to the NHS only to turn around right after the vote and say "that's not happening". The vote was heavily based on misdirection and manipulation. All perfectly democratic but without actually giving any power to the people. What happens after a promise is broken? Nothing.

Somewhere else in the world people might be told that "I'm sure education is important but the war against terror...". So they vote for the war without even realizing that they're losing twice: they have to fight a war and miss out on education. Again, perfectly democratic.

Democracy as it stands now is actually the business of selling promises. If you vote for a promise that's never fulfilled what exactly is your power other than to try again?
Exactly, we are all adults, this kind of non-answer-marketing-speak: "we've made this change to make sure we can improve the Docker for Mac and Windows experience for users moving forward" is dishonest. I, as an adult, would definitely call someone who gives me this sideway kind of answer a jerk.
Nobody at the executive level is determining what application platform to use. The bigger your company gets, the farther away they are from this decision. In fact, from an executive level, the fact that people are using the app despite complaints shows they are doing something right.

The alternative for users is to go with a competitor that competes with everything Slack provides, in addition to improved performance. There are at least two such competitors out there, but people put up with Slack, even though they don't have to.
I mean I guess it's possible that a large number of Trump supporters on the Internet would be pretty incensed about the prospect of the literal embodiment of the GOP establishment and #NeverTrump being appointed Secretary of State, especially when Trump presented himself during the campaign as anti-interventionist. But nah, russian trolls.
St Petersburg is well within NATO artillery range from Finland is your argument that Russia should annex Finland or that Finland shoud not be a member of NATO?
What's the alternative. Burying them is arguably more dangerous because the insulation failing would make the area immensely dangerous with no obvious signs. The power needs to get from generation to consumer somehow and high voltage lines are good for long distances.

The breathing in and out by counts thing frustrated me for a long time. It didn't help calm me at all, but the advice is everywhere.

I can easily shallow breathe into my chest all day long. That doesn't fix anxiety.

You need to breathe into your belly. Watch your belly rise and fall with each breath.

It works, but in my case it only works while I'm actively focusing on breathing, which isn't super helpful. As soon as I want to start thinking about the core problem again, my autonomic systems revert to the original problematic breathing pattern.

Instead, you have to address the core problem. The only long-term solutions seem to be:

1. Rationalizing away the core problem that's making you scared. If you're anxious that you're not achieving your goal, you can decide that's not a goal anymore.

2. Solving the problem.

Neither of these solutions are paint-by-numbers. Life is hard. Solving hard problems is hard. If you're a high motivation person and you set your goals to be aspirational, you may just have to live with the discomfort of anxiety.
Agreed. The worst of US politics is due to its two party system that invites a two team mentality. Any thinking in terms of us vs them or we vs they invites all kinds of conformance stupidity. I am fully capable of forming my opinions. I don't need a political label or their respective team to help me along with what my personal opinions need to be.
> But at least they don't seem to skimp on quality control.

I don't think this is true (remember, reworking only addresses the problems you can see).

Last weekend I rented somebody's Model 3 on Turo to see what it was like, and while I enjoyed it, the QC problems are real. The touchscreen crashed twice, and the cupholder in the center spar doesn't close unless you push it very slowly. This is in a $60,000 car! Things like that don't inspire confidence in long-term reliability and I definitely won't be spending my own money on a Model 3 until I see some assurance that they are overhauling their QC in a big way.
I don't really see why the format is unreasonable (when either you or I used it) and I don't disagree with your points on aggressive drivers killing people. That is obviously part of what is happening. I feel we should be implementing rules that make everyone safer. I was only offering another side to the story that the article omitted as it seemed to be slanted against drivers.
That's not bad for one line. Most auto production final assembly lines make about one car a minute. Tesla Fremont is now running 7 days a week, 2 shifts, and talking about 3 shifts. That's usually considered overdoing it. Few auto plants run more than two shifts, and do maintenance on the third shift and Saturday. More than that, and quality suffers and the workers burn out. 5,000 cars a week per line is about right.
==Freedom of speech isn't just saying what you want while alone on your back patio.==

He's doing both. He's saying the price he paid for his education was not worth the 200k sticker.

Yeah overhead on a strong tower is probably the best place for them. Underground they're way more likely to get hit accidentally and if the shielding failed it'd be impossible to tell where the danger was from the surface without specialized equipment.
Not a single person gave me that advice.
But who is going to give them money to shut down the production line again and retool everything to increase FPY? And will they do it again when more issues are found?

Isn't swapping FPY for # delivered while they determine the root of the issue and fix it a good plan? It keeps the money flowing in, it helps them find other issues in parallel, and keeps cars getting delivered.

I see a lot of people critisizing Tesla here, but my question is what would you do? You are already in a situation where your plant is producing cars with flaws, no pretending that you don't make mistakes or are infallible and would never be there.

Garbage is flying off the line, what is the solution that you would go with that is better than what Tesla is currently doing?
And Tetris isn't even that realistic.
It does, yes, but it simplifies it. Weight Watchers is needlessly complex as it is proprietary walled garden ecosystem. It also has a support and shaming element (for which you pay).

Weight Watchers assigns points based on ingredients and amounts. This just uses straight up calories. Difficulty with Weight Watchers is it takes time to do data entry, and you cannot always accurately put it in because of complexity or incomplete database. With this, you still won't know how much calories something from a restaurant contains but every time you make your own food you can see the package. Except on fresh food such as vegetables and fruits you prepare yourself.
Sans serif fonts are more used on body fonts, because they're more legible on screens. On paper, it's the opposite. Text size plays an important part here, because the serifs in serif fonts makes the letters stand out better on a smaller font size and the serifs "guide" you to the next words, making the paragraphs flow better together.

With HD screens and proper font rendering, sans serif fonts are generally faster and easier to read. These are just some of my observations when doing A/B testing on a few products of ours and there's definitely also a cultural effect at play here. But the poster above isn't definitely in the wrong.
> In previous rounds, Slack’s CEO and co-founder Stewart Butterfield has said that the company raises “opportunistically.” That is, it doesn’t have to raise money because it’s already making money and still has some in the bank, but as long as VCs are knocking, it’s worth taking the funding if it’s coming in at good valuations because you never know what might lie ahead.
The problem with this approach is that you get nice screenshots that look great, but the implementation doesn't always match up. Sometimes that last 5-10% of the design that was so easy in Sketch is a complete pain to implement correctly, and it gets skipped. You end up with a half-baked implementation that doesn't look quite right.
That synopsis of my argument is a bit simplistic. The "TV morons" are the reason that he is on TV news all the time. His being on TV news all the time is one of the various reasons he got elected. Thread hypothesis is that such reasons exist in addition to the obvious Russian Army vote-machine hacking, and that it would be good to examine those other reasons. You may disagree, but if so I hope you're not determining Democratic strategy...

This "white people" argument looks silly as soon as you do some arithmetic. Whites' preference for Trump was less than nonwhites' preference for Clinton. If either was a bad thing, they were both bad things. In fact, there was nothing wrong with either one of them. Candidates adjust to the electorate. When Don Jr. runs against Chelsea, he'll be saying awful things about someone besides Mexicans.

TV news dominance is a contingent thing, not important for the long term. Even now, TV news is almost more important in how it steers the online conversation than in what it directly reports. In the long term, TV news will cease to exist as such, and the desultory performance over the last three years will be one reason why. (again, not the only reason why...) Right now, however, Trump is still on TV...
Better than nothing, but one year is ages in technology.

Imagine you're working on cutting-edge technology, get an offer to lead a team or maybe a whole startup... but you have to wait a year.

For most startups, that's a deal-breaker. They simply can't wait that long.

So that's one key reason California is far better for startups - in other states, they're effectively prevented from poaching employees from big tech.

(Waiting a year is generally fine for big companies.)
The amount of charge in an area stays constant because of Kirckhoff's laws, so dQ/dt=0 always. Wouldn't a better definition be:

I = q v . A

where q is charge density. A is an area (actually, a normal vector to some flat cross-section, with magnitude equal to size of area), and v is velocity of the charged particles. I'm using the dot product.

If we check the units: (coulombs * metres^{-3}) * (metres * seconds ^{-1}) * metres^{2} = coulombs / seconds

By the way, I fudged the above to make "charge density" have units $coulombs * metres^{-3}$. I'm not the best person at physics.
