Main quote addressing your question:

"One thing that many people found unsatisfying about my how-I-lost-my-faith posting is that I never really got around to explaining why I lost my faith other than saying that I saw people being productive in other languages. Sorry to disappoint, but that was basically it. What I think needs clarification is exactly what faith I lost. I did not lose faith in Lisp in the sense that it stopped being my favorite programming language. It didn't (notwithstanding that I switched to Python for certain things -- more on that in a moment). What I lost faith in was that Lisp was the best programming language for everyone (and everything), and that the only reason that people didn't use Lisp is that they were basically ignorant. My faith was that once people discovered Lisp then they would flock to it. Some people (hi Kenny!) still believe that. I don't."
My understanding (based on visiting hawaii as a tourist and not much else) is that no, there's not a US-legally recognized sovereignty, but there is a step back from:

* "They voluntarily joined the US" language

* the repression of culture - in particular but not limited to language, which was apparently ruthlessly quashed for a long while and is enjoying a lot more respect today, relatively speaking.

In a courtroom I doubt this would count for much, but in a war of PR releases it can be significant, and most of what I found about this case was press releases.
It wouldn't seem necessary to fabricate such elaborate stories because:

1. Most Americans aren't paying attention / don't respond to them.

2. We clearly have a situation where POTUS if he wanted could just make up a story and get people's attention.

On the other hand stories like this would fit in nicely with state run / controlled media as the feed could simply be placed where you know it would get attention (if only because it is exists largely by itself).
On the contrary, I'd say an "unrolling" is a non-linear projection. Wikipedia suggests that embedding is a type of projection. I hadn't heard the term before today.

I must say, I did always think those pencils were higher quality than the ones I got.

But I didn't get just yellow ones. I had many different colors and patterns.

> I think I'm underpaid, but not grossly so.

I wouldn't necessarily call that underpaid. Being underpaid is when you have to choose between the present and the future. If you can both have good and sustainable living conditions, job security and pension with a decent margin you aren't generally underpaid as such. The exception being if your relative wage affects things worth caring about, like being valued by the people around you.
to answer your question, you used to be able to "top up" your Monzo card directly from the app. It was really quick if you needed more money on the card. As someone else commented elsewhere, most people use it to pay for things, but still use another more ancestral bank to get their paycheck.

Now you need to go in your bank's app, log-in there, go through many menus (because banks which are not Monzo or Revolut have no clue about UX) in order to send money to your Monzo card.

It's still free, and instantaneous. It's just more cumbersome now.

They also removed the "no fee withdrawals abroad" and now you pay a pretty substantial fee (3%) above 200GBP per month. I might be wrong on these numbers but this is what I remember.

I don't recall the source, but I believe Star Simpson had attended Burning Man multiple times prior to the incident. Whatever the reasoning behind this situation, it wasn't because she didn't know what the festival was all about.
True. And that's also the endgoal of Monzo: to be your main bank.
I don't understand debit culture in the UK

I'm an American who has a Monzo card and has spent a fair amount of time in London. Why don't people use credit cards???? The rewards are usually pretty good and as long as you pay off your balance every month, you're getting ~3% of your purchases back in rewards/credit

I stopped using Monzo because there are no rewards! Sure it gives me notifications and is easier to see my balance/add money than my Barclays account, but what is the point of the good UX/UI? Is it for fraud detection and making sure the merchants/bank aren't cheating you?

I ended up going back to using my oyster card/barclays card when contactless was the only option, and credit for everything else. Transferwise was also a godsend for converting money with clear visibility into the exchange rate/no fees

I agree that Monzo has been a great catalyst for UK banks to get their shit together on mobile apps etc. but there is nothing fundamentally different about their business...they're a debit-only bank with no physical presence and a nice app - and why don't more people use credit cards instead? Is it because it makes P2P transfers easier than the archaic bank transfers?
That's because the £100k is a lie though.
Maybe not $200k, but you can at least ask for more.

Also, I'd be a little careful about out-sourcing and rural-sourcing. I've found that many high-quality remote workers charge Bay Area rates regardless of where they live. If they're not, well, that may signal a lack of quality. You can get a bit of a discount, or find a more specialized person than you might otherwise.

To those of you in low-cost-of-living areas: Consider raising your rates to signal your quality. You're worth it.
I'm not sure I find this convincing. There are lots and lots of skilled tech workers in the UK that want permanent roles, but the really good ones already have well paid jobs, usually either for the finance sector or with Google/Facebook/etc. £100k to relocate to Cardiff isn't even slightly tempting to these people (source: I'm one of them).

For many years the UK has had very low tech salaries compared to similar locations, and compared to other similarly skilled jobs[0][1]. As demand for good tech staff rises this is starting to equalise. This is a trend that's unlikely to reverse, and IMO this is a good thing.

I appreciate that if you're trying to run a small business it's frustrating that you can't get the staff you want at the price you want to pay, but the solution isn't to hope that people will work for less you make you richer. You'll need to either adjust your budget, your expectations, or offer something that their current job doesn't give them (share of the business (with the same liquidation prefs that you have), or 100% remote, or something else along these lines). If you really can't do any of those things, then maybe your business just can't afford what you want and you'll need to hire more junior people and train them up.

I've been on both sides of this fence, lots, and I've never once felt there was a shortage of good tech people in the UK, or found it hard to find smart candidates, it's just that the good ones expect to get paid well for the skills they have spent many years honing.

The pressure outside is +1 bar per 10 meters. If you're 1 km deep, that's 100 bars (+1 atmospheric bar) while it's ~1 bar inside the sub. The mechanical stress on the submarine depends on the pressure difference, not the ratio. So increasing air pressure (with all the complications and risks it would bring) would only reduce the material load by a few percentage points.

The book aesthetic was important because it is a religious text, and also because anything like what we would call a "computer" is not only banned, but seen as unholy. The story of Dune is one of religion, ecology, the fallibility and fatality of prescience, scatterings and exoduses, failures of humans, how mankind matures and develops over a 10,0000+ year period. The actual technology mentioned is often in passing, is often intertwined with some human ability, and almost never a plot device like in so many sci-fi stories (Death Star anyone?).
People have been saying that about paper and books for at least 50 years, and we still have them and still use them just as much if not more. It's also a popular dismissive canard here on HN, which I suppose is to be expected in a site with this userbase.

The book will probably never become obsolete or go out of style as long as humans exist as we do now. I imagine we'll print and sell fewer of them, but that's not the same as becoming obsolete. The book could only truly be replaced by something absolutely better than it in every way, which an eBook isn't -- it has as many advantages and disadvantages as a paper book.

I'll try to provide an answer, as I'm European but moved to the US. We don't have this "you're in debt" culture that I think you create when you start school in the US. Very early you have to take a loan in order to study, which facilitate the idea of owing banks.

I opened a secured card here in the US, but I never use it, because it just feels weird to "owe" the bank money and not to be able to pay it back as fast as I can. I usually have to wait for the end of the month, and if I mess something up then I have to pay huge fines (that you cutely call APR).

The more you get into this system, the more you seem to collect credit cards. I have friends with dozens of them. What happens if you lose one? Or if you get your wallet stolen? Or if you forget that after the first year you start paying fees on it? etc.

Most of us can live without the rewards if we get other benefits. For example with Monzo, you get added security, you can use it all over the world for free, you can send money to your friends or split the bill easily, you can track your finance, set limits on your budgets, see what was that 30$ you spent a month ago and where it was, round up your purchases to save money, etc. There's just so much benefits that you end up using it all the time as your default card. That's how they get you I guess. But it's so much more practical and easy to use that people have fell in love with their branding as well.

I love reading about the Chinese efforts in developing a modern turbofan engine. For whatever reason, they just can't build a good medium- or high- bypass turbofan in-house. They're latest WS-20 is basically a clone of the CFM-56 and previously they spent decades developing the WS-6 and WS-10 that never met expectations.

This is a big deal because the Comac 919 is ready to go but without a powerplant, they're having to turn to Western sources for an engine. The same thing happened with the J-10 project a decade ago and again recently with the J-20. Without a reliable powerplant, you can't build good airplanes and you can't easily reverse engineer a precision turbofan.

There is no real peace of mind, because your stuff may be stolen anyways in spite of their "vetting" process.

Dwarf Fortress is more like if you liked Sim City but wished it was more like Nethack. It's quite a different beast, but you should give it a shot if that description sounds good. Also the UI is self-inconsistent and the learning curve is a cliff, so like... expect that going in.

If you haven't played other traditional roguelikes besides Nethack, I'd recommend giving them a shot. Brogue and Shiren The Wanderer are both focused on resource management and exploiting monster/item properties, which you'll have seen some of in Nethack. DCSS is more about streamlined tactical and strategic decision making in a dungeon.

The simplest answer is that you're starting to have the very slightest amount of age-related focus degradation, that it's only manifesting when the room is very dark, and that it aligned with the new phones by coincidence.

That said, older phones had a higher minimum brightness and more mixed-in blue light. Your pupils will contract more when looking at a brighter, bluer screen and smaller pupils focus more easily. Also, being able to see the black part of the screen can make it easier to focus because you can see how far away it is.

Normal ergonomic issues like this are probably the cause. Can you get hold of an older model phone and relax with it for a few weeks to check whether the problems are really with the new devices?
1) the whole point would be to prosecute it, not "discuss it". It's allowed to be discussed to the extent that nothing comes out of it, hence the classification of the details.

2) Remember that the narrative of the current US president is that the US is the underdog attacked from everywhere, and so some categories of enemies should be designated and dealt with at large scale and brutally, some of those ennemies will be internal sub-categories of people, and that the economy of war should be reinforced.

I am not really defending China (just a bit, because I feel the racist undertone on those attacks), but I think having the last super-power behave like a good neighbor and a role model would have a more positive impact on the world than designating a few ennemies, waging war, destroying internal democracy to concentrate the power, and acting generally like a bully.
