Health care can never be a free market because decisions to buy are always made under duress. Pay for health care or die. That nobody is actively holding a gun to your head doesn't matter a great deal.

Labour can be similar, depending on how the economy is organised. If you need a job in order to eat, then you can't freely reject a job offer. Only for fairly wealthy people is the labour a free market. Unless you get a good social security system (welfare, UBI, etc). Then people may be able to walk away from a bad job offer.

Low unemployment is also making the labour market behave more like a free market; there are other jobs available, and employers can't rely anymore on job seekers being desperate for a job.
The history of website building and creation is linked to the development of the web as a whole. Website design has come a long way in a relatively short time.
I’m seeing how a few sprinkles of VBA can make an .org so much more efficient than trying to bend management to green light an entire new web app system written in a ‘real’ programming Lang
That's the beauty of science: it doesn't matter what it looks like. It only matters what it is. I'd learn how to critically read a scientific study paper, if you don't know how already. You're just begging to be lied to if you don't.

How We Use Machine Learning to Match Drivers and Riders
IIRC the SoC they're using, and specifically the VC4 GPU portion which contains the memory controller, only supports 30-bit physical addresses so they'd have to move to a new SoC/GPU to increase the memory beyond 1 GB. The good news is that it looks like Broadcom is developing a new "VC5" GPU (with open-source drivers[1]) but there's no telling when that would make it in to a shipping product.

So what you're saying is that you don't trust the news due to bias and self interest, but you do trust those who actively drink from the Surveillance Valley kool-aid pitcher to give you an honest and unbiased point of view on this topic?
The Innovation For All podcast released a super timely episode related to this yesterday. It was on whether tech companies like Facebook and Google are monopolies and if that's really a problem. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/google-facebook-are-mono...

The guest went into this topic some more: "While Facebook had publicly declared itself ready for new federal regulations, Ms. Sandberg privately contended that the social network was already adopting the best reforms and policies available. Heavy-handed regulation, she warned, would only disadvantage smaller competitors."
How would you know that merging code from the first bugfix wouldn't break the (just tested) code from the second bugfix?? Would you assume that the first bugfix will be merged first and branch off of that?
Hmm. Maybe it's time to give SA a try again.

I had very little luck in keeping SA performing well over time. It would go for a few months doing a decent job, then just seem to fall off the tracks for a new particular reign of spam, even with graylisting on.

I finally gave up and have been using... A Barracuda box. I hate to say it (because they're stupid expensive for all but the smallest box), but it has worked incredibly well, with zero overhead. I've gone for over a year without so much as logging in to the box.

Ultimately, I think the 'cuda is just running SA with Barracuda's collective filtering added on, but it sure works for me and my dozen or so users.

Maybe Barracuda doesn't sell that many spam boxes (they have quite a few other products), but I can say that it has sure worked for me.

If I could keep SA tuned well with minimal effort, it would be worth the savings however.

From Build to Launch in 5 weeks: A Firebase, Flamelink & Flutter Fairytale
I haven't seen this ethos specifically with respect to workers, but have definitely seen it with respect to ethically sourced materials, sustainable environmental practices, etc. It seems to work well in wealthy areas where people can afford to care about these things. It does not work at all in lower income areas, which is most of the US. Price tends to trump pretty much everything else for the vast majority of consumers.
I wouldn't mind seeing what my former classmate posts herself.

> But I dont know why people still consider chess to be a good measure of general intelligence. Its not. The newest bot learned how to be better than our centuries of chess knowledge in about 30 mins, but the robot isnt at all intelligent in any general sense.

That's not necessarily a valid counterargument. Humans and bots may play similarly to some extent (both technically do ranking&searching through space of possible moves, aided by many heuristics), but for humans it's about using the same "mental pathways" that are required by other tasks in life. Bots are just playing chess.

It's like benchmarking a CPU vs. an ASIC. ASIC will be better for the task it's designed for, but absolutely useless for everything else.
There's a name for everything, isn't there?
> Nearly every argument I hear that says "facebook newsfeed sucks" boils down to "the people you choose to follow share crappy shit." Unfollow them.

Here is the failure of Facebook, right here.

Facebook says that their mission is to connect people, but they've created a platform where all the incentives are for people to get into arguments and then disconnect from each other to stop the arguments.

In general, people can disagree about things and still have productive, friendly relationships. But it's harder (not easier) to do that on Facebook than it is in real life... that's a major product failure IMO.
All jobs have some amount of grind. Being able to acknowledge its going to suck and push through it quickly can be super beneficial to your career. It's also one of the reasons why I encourage those in high school or college to try a non technical job first. Learn to appreciate doing monotonous tasks well.
This sounds too good to be true. Who's funding this project?
Facebook Supported 'Sex Trafficking' Law FOSTA to Cozy Up to Republican Critics
If PG&E was negligent, they should be held accountable. On the other hand, if this happened despite all reasonable safety precautions, it seems like scapegoating. I generally despise the concept of limited liability as it applies to every corporation in every kind of business, but this particular case seems to be exactly the kind of situation that justifies it. Unless one prefers that this kind of infrastructure be run only by the government itself (not an unreasonable belief), some kind of liability shield is necessary. Otherwise no sane business person would take that risk. Do you want the power infrastructure run by insane people?

One would hope they had military experience which, yes, would have required the use of firearm at a minimum to qualify.
A better comparison is hurricane prone locations. After Hurricane Andrew in 1994, Florida conpletely revised its building codes to require homes to withstand a major hurricane.

It’s possible to build a home on the beach to even withstand a catastrophic hurricane, but at possibly double the construction cost.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/14/us/hurricane-michael-flor...

I recall after there were bad fires in the Everglades many years ago there had been some work to build a foam that could be sprayed on a home to protect it in advance of an approaching fire. I think the person who came up with the idea was inspired by the amount of liquid diapers can hold. I wonder what came of that.

Maybe not one particular article but reading the same messaging over and over again until it eventually sticks with me and then my brain is the one that reminds me of it rather than the article.

Articles on a subject also lead me to the books and videos on the subject as well.
I see for now there's only package repositories for Alpine and Arch (https://man.sr.ht/packages.md), any plans to expand this list any time soon?

(Fantastic job by the way, as other commenters are pointing out this is the type of project hosting suite that I've been looking for)
I agree but full disclosure on how they rely on Facebook may be in order. This gives the reader a fair chance to assess if the article or authors may have a bias in how they report the story.

For instance, could Facebook begin to offer these publishers and/or authors incentive to not publish these things in the future? Either with stick or carrot. Could that influence how and what they publish?

I do intend to expand this list, probably with at least Debian packages. This isn't a high priority at the moment, though, I have limited bandwidth for sr.ht until it's profitable and have to focus on other features. This is definitely an area where an interested Debian user could contribute packages, though, especially if nicely integrated with builds.sr.ht like the other packages are.
You still need an SD card in there but all it needs is a bootloader and a config file that allows booting from USB. You can make the /boot partition read only so there's no chance of it being screwed up. SD cards do suck but at least they are cheap enough now that you can keep some low capacity ones with bootloaders installed on hand.

Its crazy to me how much more difficult its become to "whip up a quick GUI".

Back in the 90s, using fairly lackluster tools like Visual Basic / FoxPro / Delphi, you could design and create a basic GUI a few minutes. No one needed to install 2GB of dependencies to either create no run these programs.

Now, just getting an IDE setup to handle creating a "quick GUI" is a mission. I'm at a loss at why technology moved so backwards with regard to something as essential as this...

That's an economic definition. A more common understanding of shortage includes conditions where the price rises beyond what I can afford. If I can't afford beef at $10/lb but the supply of beef commands that price, I will perceive that as a "shortage"

I understand your preference for a more classical approach, but in this experiment, I'm just exploring some uses of the zircleUI library.

Regarding the label "star it", you are right it is confusing because you are not actually adding a star, you are just opening a link to the repository.

> I’ve been running elementary OS on it...

I'm not much of a Linux user, but I've been trying elementary OS 0.4.1 Loki via Parallels and like it a lot. Unfortunately elementary OS 5 Juno has been buggy for me (random black screens requiring a reboot), so I'm stuck on Loki for now.

I was tempted to put elementary OS on my 32-bit 2006 MacBook (the one that currently has Windows 10), but there isn't a 32-bit version of elementary OS anymore.

Long Polling – Concepts and Considerations
Docker only solves the dependency problem for static file dependencies. For things like databases or other services, you still have to stand those up yourself or use another orchestration tool. Beyond that, Docker also puts the onus on the user to solve for networks and volumes and environment variables and secrets management and configuration management.

"Docker" is perhaps part of the solution, but only a very small part.
You can't really exercise judgement about a context you can't fathom.

It'd be like a person who's never been to Japan, never studied Japanese, and only read about Japan in popular magazines or seen news reports on tv exercising judgement about how Japanese society should be run.

Sure, he'd have the right people below him. But he'd have no idea if what they're telling him makes any sense, and often his intuition about what he's hearing would be wrong, because he'd be using analogies that don't/can't fit.

That's how you get into "internet is a series of tubes" territory.
Sakurada blamed one particularly unimpressive performance in parliament on the opposition MP Renho Murata, complaining that she had not given him her questions in advance.

“Since there was no prior notice about the questions, I had no idea what would be asked at the session,” the Asahi quoted him as saying.

When Renho asked him how much funding the central government would contribute to the 2020 Olympics and Paralympics, he responded: “1,500 yen”, which works out at just over $13, some way below the actual sum of 150 billion yen.

It's common for people on HN to say "there's no such thing as a shortage, just pay people more", but that assumes that the amount of value people provide is infinite, and can just keep growing.

To the extent that companies are offering "good" wages already, the people who need to hear the message about a shortage are those who would consider changing fields for the current wages.

I find gmail to be about 99% accurate “out of the box”. With today’s technology and processing power I don’t see why that can’t also be true for other spam offerings.
This whole discussion is making me glad they just rejected me. It sounds like I would have been miserable there.

This is just a bad idea. It's a pretty massive part of what's mostly wrong in the world today. The idea that people who are functionally incompetent should be managing people who are is just pretty fucked in the head.
It's not the cloud that'll save theses 8, there's no on demand scaling for the fire department. On both situation, there'll be enough staff there to save at least 8 peoples, thus incurring the same cost. It's probably much quicker too to secure a 1500 ft house than a 10 000 one. I remember once we got a fire alarm at my job once and it took quite a bit of time for them to make sure everything was alright.
Lack of exercise is definitely part of the issue.

But "blood pressure rise with age" is almost certainly due to atherosclerosis. And atherosclerosis seems to be primarily caused due to inflammation, which destroys the artery walls, which in turn kickstarts the immunity system to come and "repair" them by patching them up with cholesterol and calcium. Then there is less room for blood to pass through the arteries = higher blood pressure. The calcium/cholesterol plaques breaking apart = heart attack.

There's also this new theory that the stuff that acts as protection for your artery walls is destroyed by high glucose in the blood/high-carb meals.

Nelson also had 10 years of experience in command at that point, starting as a midshipman at 13.
It doesn't hurt to have hands-on experience, but it definitely isn't necessary.

The job of a department head is to navigate government bureaucracy and attain the budget, gather resources and hire experts for his department's needs.

The value of a minister of anything is his contacts/professional network, knowledge of government bureaucracy and his ability to marshal them for his department's needs.

It's why in the US, we've had Secretary of Defense who have never fired a gun or been in the military. Obviously most have had military experience, but it isn't a requirement.

People are mistakenly thinking that a minister of cybersecurity is a cybersecurity job. It isn't. It is a government bureaucratic job.

Given a choice between a cybersecurity expert ( with no bureaucratic experience ) and a bureaucratic expert ( with no computer experience ), it's a no brainer to go with the latter as minister of cybersecurity. Ideally, you want bureaucratic expert who is also a cybersecurity expert. But you only have 24 hours in a day.
Google and Facebook are monopolies. Does it matter? [audio]
Right? If anything someone in this position needs basic familiarity to avoid social engineering, reminds me of a scene in Hackers:

Security guard answers phone: Security, uh Norm, Norm speaking.

Date: Norman? This is Mr. Eddie Vedder, from accounting. I just had a power surge here at home that wiped out a file I was working on. Listen, I'm in big trouble, do you know anything about computers?

Norm: Uhhmmm... uh gee, uh...

Dade: Right, well my BLT drive on my computer just went AWOL, and I've got this big project due tomorrow for Mr. Kawasaki, and if I don't get it in, he's gonna ask me to commit Hari Kari...

Dade proceeds to get Norm to read him the number off of a modem at the TV station
You don't need to be expert, but at least be related to the thing you head... Would it be ok for minister of finance to say "Never went to a bank, never had an account. I have staff and secretaries they somehow get me things I want"?
> That should read "Positive Economics 101", ie. the status quo-legitimising ideology economics students are spoon-fed as if it was some kind of car manual.

Do you have any links to books or articles that go into this idea in more depth? It definitely feels true, especially in how oversimplified economic theories are presented to laymen.
>Would love to hear why people think this is a non-issue.

Most developers have never seen anything better. They start working within an artificially complicated ecosystem, get used to it and perpetuate all of the assumptions the ecosystem makes when they create their own products.

And when you point this out, most people just get angry, because for them it suggests they have been doing something wrong for as long as they've done engineering. This is why you always hear things like "buy my website is an application" or "but it has to be complicated to use, because it had complicated functionality".

Simplicity is not easy or intuitive.

I've only started to learn the principles of designing simple systems that do complex things around 10-12 years in my career, after accidentally discovering certain people's talks online (Alan Kay, Rich Hickey) and learning a bit about old-school AI systems. Most people aren't familiar with any of that stuff and don't really care.

One thing I personally cannot comprehend is why web applications are almost universally installed and managed through command line, rather than web interfaces. The only advantage of a command-line interface is pipe chaining, and it's never uses installation/configuration. There is nothing fundamental about command line. It's just a software simulation of a teletype terminal.
Ha-Ha-Only-Serious response: I've actually been told that ministers are explicitly selected to portfolios that they know nothing about so that they an be an impartial filter for the people working in that area. You don't choose an Information Minister because they're an IT guru, you choose them because they have no knowledge of the subject (and hence no personal preference or bias) and they will just go with whatever the actual experts working 'below' them say.

Yup, I can confirm that it works fine once enrolled, I use Firefox for work and they require MFA so I enrolled the FIDO token on my keychain, I don't run Chrome.

I don't like how fragile this situation is (not being able to use my preferred systems to enroll) so I did not enroll my non-work accounts, whereas for systems like GitHub where Security Keys just work fine, of course both my work and personal accounts are enrolled.
