"(aka you can’t generally access housing help as a man without children)"

how painfully true this is, if youre a single middle aged man with no children there is very little help available. but sadly its the "war on drugs" that has created this situation, had they just taken the sensible option and decriminalized cannabis i doubt we would have anywhere near the epidemic that currently plagues us

and if they really are planning on going through with this crazy brexit idea it would at least create an opportunity to create new businesses, jobs and increase tourism. but since when have the government listened to sense? just look at what happened to david nutt

Excellent Ways for Couple Looking for Female to Find a Threesome
In a world where the major advertising companies (Google & Facebook) respected users privacy and security I'd tend to agree with this assessment.

We do not live in such a world.

Without some form of counter-balance they will continue to erode what is previously acceptable behaviour re individual rights. Adblockers provide some of that counter-balance.

The other dirty secret of the largest 'free' adblocker services (other than some purely open-source options) is that many of them are funded via kickbacks from Google. Google pays such services to allow their ads to continue to be displayed. When users pay for a service it is clearer what the incentives are for the service's behaviour.
Thanks for the correction, I was simplifying, without going into enable_if details and such.

People took on mortgages they couldn't afford:

> 70 percent of defaulted loans had blatant misrepresentations on their mortgage applications. The FBI estimates that mortgage fraud (by borrowers) increased 1,000 percent from 2001 to 2007.

And they defaulted strategically to make money:

> They also discovered these sorts of events—the abandonment of a mortgage obligation to pay when people were perfectly able to pay—represented fully 20 to 30 percent of the delinquencies that took place in 2007 and 2008

Learning Sanskrit. I have spent the last few years learning it and it's been tremendously rewarding. Sanskrit is a beautiful language. Learning it is a great mental challenge and gives great satisfaction (to me). Before learning Sanskrit I had never really pursued a hobby this seriously. Since I have been doing this I no longer feel like a machine who just goes to work, eats and sleeps. Before this, I used to feel great despair if the work in the office was not to my satisfaction. Since I have started pursuing this passion, work no longer dictates my life. Work is not the only thing that makes my life meaningful. I view work as one of the important things in life and not the only important thing in life. And that has made all the difference. My contentment and happiness level has gone up dramatically since I have been learning Sanskrit.
There is a bit of this about, it's not entirely a fabrication, and it's always a risk for people who spend too much time getting involved in Palestine from abroad.

On the other hand, it's really obvious that all this media concern is directed only at the Labour party and not at the actual government, such as the support for Orban's antisemitic Hungarian government. Almost nobody in the media cares about antisemitism unless it can be used against the Labour party.

From the screenshots it looks guaranteed to be the first result.
Well, for starters, any corporation is headquartered somewhere, and I think it's not at all unreasonable that the country where it takes place can attach strings to it. After all, corporations don't pick a spot for their headquarters arbitrarily - they derive certain benefits from it - and if they are dodging the associated costs, then we have a free rider problem.

But even setting that aside, my emphasis isn't on the corporation itself so much so as individuals working in it, who are the ones actually doing those things. I don't see why we can't impose restrictions on our residents, saying that they e.g. can't enable oppressive foreign regimes. And that, in practice, would have the same effect on the corporation - they wouldn't be able to do it here, and they'd have to relocate that entire operation into China or another place that would allow it.

Or prohibit any resident from profiting from it, for that matter, e.g. by investing in a foreign corporation that does such things - which would also preclude US corporations from establishing foreign subsidiaries to dodge the responsibility but still partake in the profits.

> Economies are debt based since the invention of debt basically. Debt-basedness is not the problem.

It may not be the problem but it is a good stating point. The degree of indebtedness is important.

> Inflation is low despite huge QE programs.

My understanding is that inflation is measured as a consumer-goods-only effect and that the QE programs gave vast sums of money to people who used it to buy assets (kind of a tautology that, because obviously it didn't end up flowing into consumer goods).

The fact that it didn't show up in the inflation statistics is a good start, but why is that the only way it can cause problems? It looks like the government picking winners and losers, and governments have a terrible track record of making those decisions.
Yes, the "free-for-all" sucks. Shkreli-style and worse profiteering on illness, misery and bankrupting people.

And this reminds me: there are long off-patent generics costing $10 USD/pill ($300/mo). Isn't this crazy, even considering regulatory and medium-overhead operations?

Doesn't this seem like a reasonable social-enterprise opportunity for non-hospital-/non-insurance-owned, employee- & customer-owned co-op generic pharmaceuticals for the US market at a minimum? Fixed margins on products based on production costs and overhead... but with enough investment so it can't get "DRAM price war"ed butt-kicked.
"Five individual logic cells were functionally disconnected from the rest— with no pathways that would allow them to influence the output— yet when the researcher disabled any one of them the chip lost its ability to discriminate the tones. Furthermore, the final program did not work reliably when it was loaded onto other FPGAs of the same type.

It seems that evolution had not merely selected the best code for the task, it had also advocated those programs which took advantage of the electromagnetic quirks of that specific microchip environment. The five separate logic cells were clearly crucial to the chip’s operation, but they were interacting with the main circuitry through some unorthodox method— most likely via the subtle magnetic fields that are created when electrons flow through circuitry, an effect known as magnetic flux."

This is absolutely incredible. Makes you wonder how much potential the real world has compared to the simulated environment usually used to test theoretical solutions.

I like the design and the idea, but I also don't find it very minimalistic (only 10 bookmarks on a single page?). I'd also like to see a short description or "about" page. Are all bookmarks public? Can I have private bookmarks, too?

The "let's add a site" input is disabled. From the UX perspective, I'm not sure why I can't add any site. I assume I need to be logged in, but then either change it to "Log in to add a site" or remove the input for logged out users completely.

As other stated, a login without HTTPS is a no-no.

A shameless plug: Personally, I like managing my bookmarks in plain text (via git), so I've built StaticMarks[0]. It generates a static web app with all my bookmarks on every git push.

Ask HN: Can Startups Make LawithCourt Action More Accessible?
As in, could a company create a way to make legal action more affordable to the average Joe?

Because the costs of fighting your corner in court have certainly made the system heavily biased in favour of millionaires and large corporations, with small companies and individuals settling or giving up whenever there's a risk someone with far more money will sue.

It's also likely scared people away from fighting back when their own work is stolen/business is ruined by a larger competitor or what not too.

So is there a way a startup or SaaS app could help with this? Like, some way to cut down on costs to such a degree that companies and individiuals can't force those with less to 'settle' or back down? Is it possible to make fighting for your rights and property the default response to issues?

Flashlights (including anything that has a battery and led bulb) and batteries are almost in how brazenly they falsely advertise on Amazon.

I would have to say that well over half of torches on Amazon exaggerate their claims by at LEAST 100%. You'll see the same exact 5-mode style with 20 different max output numbers. Most sellers get a counterfeit LED that's half as bright as the real thing, then list the max straight from the CREE spec sheets, ignoring that the numbers come from properly cooled, properly driven, and much more efficient legit bulbs.

Battery sellers on Amazon generally tack on 30-80% capacity, but some go bonkers. Go ahead and search for 18650 batteries for those flashlights. Amazing! Panasonic and LG can't get past 3600mAh for theirs and charge ~$25 for a pair, but multiple sellers have 9000mAh+ options for ~$2/cell. And they ALL have 4+ star reviews. It used to be that the garbage sellers would claim around 3500mAh capacity so that there was some plausible deniability, but now they're probably bordering on nuclear fission energy densities. They're selling a 2 liter bottle of water and claiming there's 3 liters in it.

Oh, and any 'emergency' or safety related product is fair game. If it fails, either they'll rationalize that it wasn't properly maintained prior to the emergency or the buyer isn't around to complain about it.

Needless to say, I don't order anything I actually care about from Amazon. I actually just looked through my 2018 purchases and it reads like the orders I used to place through cheap Chinese sites 5 years ago. I guess I now treat Amazon like a shipping option - $2 premium to get the same junk, but I don't have to wait a month.
The "workplaces" could be just a large group from the same workplace was split into two groups, one for control and one to see the effects of ergonomics on their productivity. If that's the case, the variance in initial productivity would be less than if the two groups were taken from different factories.

Whether or not that's true, it reminds me of the experiments done near Hawthorne, Illinois around the time of the Great Depression to improve worker productivity by changing their environment. The workers output improved almost regardless of environmental changes. The conclusion was workers output improved because someone was paying attention to them. Henry Landsberger analyzed the experiments in the 1950s and coined the term the Hawthorne Effect.

There's no such thing as "real history" - even without rebasing, your commits do not reflect the development of the code; they reflect practically arbitrary moments in time at which you chose to commit.

The idea behind rebasing is not to make it seem like "real history", but to have all changes in a commit to be related. They're not a reflection of how you built the code, but how you can understand it. They're documentation, and as such, you spend effort on them.
> The degree of indebtedness is important.

I think what you mean is the ability to service the debt under a variety of non "act of god" scenarios.

There are a lot of companies around the world defaulting on USD denominated debt now because of rising interest rates, that at ZLB, would have been able to keep racking up the debt because it would have still been serviceable.

Same is true for a lot of governments with a decent amount of USD denominated debt that are finding it hard to service because of currency outflows from domestic financial (debt/stock) markets in response to rising interest rates (combined with a lack of sufficiently acceptable local options).

>It looks like the government picking winners and losers, and governments have a terrible track record of making those decisions.

It definitely seems like this to me, and is more pronounced/easier to see in places where the state has a heavier influence on the markets. But even this will only last so long before it doesn't.

Facebook is going to get worse and so is Zuckerberg. I would short FB if I had a position.

The reasoning is, once you see a CEO installing loyal lieutenants. Who does not value conflicting, and opposing views. You know the company will loose the plot soon. With out any moderation from others I believe that FB will accelerate their disregard for their users while publicly communicating something else.

Fundamentally the Instagram founders and WhatsApp founders leaving is due to a values conflict with Zuckerberg and the culture at FB. My theory is there are the values they talk about and communicate externally, which is not congruent with what is practiced.

There was conflict due to these unspoken values and Zuckerberg took the easy way out. Install people loyal to him. This is a sign of weak leadership.

Edit:

It also seems like ego is getting the better of Z

“Severe cutbacks ordered by Mr. Zuckerberg in how much Instagram was promoted on the main Facebook platform”

Either that or instagram ads are not as profitable as FB?
