Feedback isn't for suggestions, it's for understanding problems that your students are having. If you aren't normalizing the process of students telling you when they are struggling, then they either won't tell you when they're struggling at all or you'll only find out too late. It could be pedagogical stuff like they don't understand your explanations, or it could be emotional things like they're having panic attacks and don't know what to do, or it could be simple technical details like what fonts you use on your slides. And if you know right away then you can do something right away and actually help someone.

Reporting on productivity change is a reasonable way to quantify the social impact of a phenomenon, which allows people to compare it in scale to other issues, and prioritize scarce resources accordingly. Of course it's imperfect, and data is lost compared to a qualitative assessment of individual lives. But can you think of a consistently better quantitative measurement? Longevity?

We've recently seen a lot of coverage of the forecast that climate change could cause a 10% reduction in GDP by 2100. Your objections apply to this measure equally. But by quantifying the magnitude we can compare it to things like the cost of remediation.

Quantifying an effect also has the benefit of exposing the estimate to more effective refutation. The more numerate debate we subject policy preferences to, the stronger they'll be.

Not really addressing the transportation issue.

>“We could bring as many as 3 million new residents to the city without anyone really noticing a difference, except there’s less redundant spaces for cars to sit all day,” Karalis says.

A redundant parking space has a car sitting in it? Are there really all kinds of empty parking lots that are just hanging around undeveloped? Who owns these lots and why do they want their property empty?

How about working on the hard issues surrounding ubiquitous, clean, higher density transportation.

It doesn't seem insane to me, just a reflection of the reality that people sometimes buy unhealthy foods - for both legit and frivolous reasons.

Sometimes your kid will only eat sugary cereals for breakfast, because children can be fussy eaters. Or maybe you want to kick back with a can of Coke after a hard day at work (or need the caffeine to wake up for work in the morning, and coffee is too expensive). Or you want some Snickers bars to take on the train or bus to snack on. Policing what kind of food people spend their food stamps on seems like a pointless waste of time and government resources to me.

That is absolutely correct, paying back debt has existed nearly as far back as we have recorded history in the form of slavery / indentured servitude.

But, not to put words in OP's mouth, I don't think that's what OP was saying. Baby boomers have normalized the concept of average people using debt to get things they want now but can't afford, and millennials are the first generation that has grown up with it pervasively.

Debt is a powerful tool for enabling opportunities when the decision is highly calculated and considered. For example a business that can directly weigh a break-even point for going into debt to make an investment that would simply have not have been possible otherwise. Or perhaps buying a house (though that is a bit more debatable these days).

When people "just put it on the CC", that debt is not carefully calculated or considered. When people go to college without a path to a career that can pay it back it's also not calculated or considered.

Debt is like a scalpel, but individuals use it like it's a hammer.

Yeah, that sounds a lot like the author misunderstood what actually happened and why it was bad.

> the article expects anyone creating private CA’s to follow the Baseline Requirements for public CA but those requirements are the reason you can’t use public CA’s in the first place.

Not that it matters much, but I believe you can fulfill that requirement by using the "localhost.company.tld" trick - it's just another unnecessary hoop to jump through.

Of course the requirement "don't tell everyone and their grandma about your private key" is a bit harder to keep...

> but it does highlight that the cert was for localhost, so delivery of the certs to the websocket server wouldn’t be too much of an issue in this case.

Ah, true. Because the article was about headphones, I was imagining some kind of rube-goldberg setup where the headphones themselves pretended to be a USB network interface and terminated the websocket connection. But upon reading again, the connection is for the setup/utility program, not the actual hardware.

If you're on Android it's possible to completely block the GPS daemon from phoning home, usually to 1e100.net based on my observation. To do this you can install an app called NetGuard from F-Droid and enable service blocking. This app is non-root, and it uses a local VPN to provide an almost impenetrable firewall. Google's GPS daemon hides itself under a process called "1021" block that and enable notifications and see the connection attempts every few minutes to 1e100.net getting blocked—you don't even need to have any Google services enabled to see the connection attempts occurring.

How can those huge contracts with incomprehensible be binding for normal people? How come people have no alternative to signing them?

A prerequisite for "purchasing" (renting) a .eu TLD is that you're a European Union citizen. Technically, it's against the ToS to rent one to anyone else. If they're not aiming for the market, I think they also can't get .eu domain.

That being said, it sure will be fun when all the British people/corporations won't be able to renew their .eu domains no more!
I feel that a comparison to the handwritten C++ version would make the claims a lot stronger. Making something 10x faster is not very hard if it is incredibly slow to begin with and is, on its own, fairly uninteresting. On the other hand, if the results here approcahed the speed of optimized C++ code, then this workflow makes a lot of sense.

A lot of premature deaths are not just a direct result of suicide or drug abuse, but a deeper result of despair and isolation. Improved healthcare would help, but I feel like it's a cultural issue as well.

My grandfather died in his early 70's a few years ago. By any other measure, he should have lived well into his 80's. He had a comfortable middle-class life and was quite healthy when he was younger. But he spent the last decades of his life in rural Maryland with very little social contact. My family rarely visited him. For reasons I'm still unsure, my dad didn't talk to him for almost 2 decades. His physical and mental health really disintegrated.

My wife is from India, and I'm convinced that this sort of thing is more rare there. There is a strong, almost sacred connection between family members. If your parent is sick or unwell, you bring them into your house and take care of them. No questions asked. For the most part, the culture in (white, middle-class) America looks at things very differently, and I'm not really sure what the solution could be.
> so many writes that the unencrypted versions of the data are thrown away

I don't know about this specific system, but typical behaviour of NILFS (a continuously shapshotting log file system) is to report the filesystem as full, requiring manual intervention or waiting until the data ages-out and gets garbage collected.
Lots of sectors of the economy are for profit, but they follow the S&P instead of leading it. Healthcare used to be a follower too. Now it's a leader.

You need to implement social security taxes on investment income, not raising the SS taxable cap on wages, to accomplish this. It makes sense to not overly tax burden wage income (productive effort) while taxing investment income (rent seeking) at a higher rate, no?
Many (most?) backup systems seem to mount the backup filesystem locally, allowing ransomware to access and encrypt the backup files too. For example, not too long ago I set up a networked drive that can be accessed only with a password over Apple File Protocol. I gave that password ONLY to Time Machine hoping it might do something smart and mount the drive in a way that only it could access. Of course it mounts it under /Volumes, allowing it to be accessed via Terminal without having to enter the password...

I guess because of this you see "protect yourself from ransomware attack" guides recommending keeping your backup drive/filesystem attached for as short a period as possible. But even then you're left hoping that the ransomware doesn't encrypt your backups first - perhaps because it's smart enough to - or that it doesn't get too many of them before you notice the infection.

I wish all backup software would avoid making the remote filesystem available system-wide and raise the bar by requiring ransomware to know how to extract access to the remote filesystem from the particular backup software you're using before it could encrypt your backups. Unfortunately, as far as I could tell last time I looked this issue seems to be ignored by backup software vendors.
I hate pharma companies too, and think they definitely were a part of the gateway to addiction, but you should read more about how the overdoses are occurring.

As another user pointed out below:
> "Drug-overdose deaths skyrocketed between 2015 and 2017, particularly for adults between ages 25 and 54. The main culprit was fentanyl and other synthetic opioids that became pervasive in illicit drug supplies in the U.S. around that time."

> "Deaths from synthetic opioids rose 45% in 2017, while the death rate from heroin, which had risen sharply after 2010, was flat."

Also: https://www.theguardian.com/society/2016/may/10/fentanyl-dru...

Synthetic opioid overdoses: https://www.drugabuse.gov/related-topics/trends-statistics/i...

People end up ingesting shit they don't even know about that's in their drugs (like chinese fentanyl) and then accidentally OD. It's still bad to overprescribe drugs, and this shows more legalization/regulation of drugs would be better to not have supplies randomly cut with whatever products some dealer has laying around.

Show HN: Notably, a markdown notes app
Hi

I am currently trying to validate a new notes app, which I launched this week:
https://notably.cc

Notably is a markdown notes app that I built as I couldn't find one that I liked out there already. It aims to keep the process as distraction-free as possible and allows you to search for old posts very quickly

This is still an MVP - the current feature set is limited, but I'm planning to add more functionality to it over the coming weeks, such as:
- Integrations with IFTTT/Zapier
- Note categorization/tags
- Team/collaborative notes

I built this app primarily for myself, but I'm keen to see if anybody else finds it useful and would consider using it too

Thanks for looking,
Chris

Lots. Just this year: Opened "new" Makita power-tools where I can't be sure if the batteries are legitimate or knockoffs or old/refurbished ones in their place. Cracked sink that is still pending return after two weeks. Counterfeit Whirlpool filters for my air filter. Floor oil that was opened, spilling a little, and shipped in a bag alongside its non-spilling counterparts.

My personal hypothesis is that this is related to the fact that the people who drive cultural output in the U.S. (the Left, basically) take a hands-off approach to transmitting culture to the next generation. As a result, each new generation in this sub-population of culture creators has had to engage in a high degree of cultural re-invention to fill in the gaps.

Bloomberg Beta Investment Documents
They have a team helping them prepare called seconds, they also keep aware of opening updates by following games around the world. They have large opening databases, and will use computers to find new moves (originally just a team of GMs) known as "novelties" (a surprise). The novelties take the opponent "out of book" or the prep (preparation) he has developed. This means the opponent will have to use more time, and find his way out of a tricky situation you are more familiar with, through computer analysis.

Often old sidelines will come back into fashion in order to avoid prep, or to lead someone into unfamiliar territory.

If you watch on a video feed, announcers will sometimes say "this position was played in city (x) in year (n) between player(1) and player(2)" this is to show that there are few games left in the database, we are entering deep prep.

> Baby Boomers are directly responsible for all the debt in the country,

Not just that, but the sad state of infrastructure, the condition of the environment, and climate denial. If WWII was the crucible of the greatest generation, then the (relative) peace of the 60s and 70s was the cradle of the worst generation. We (I'm 38) are now inheritors of a pretty messed up world on a very dangerous trajectory. I hope we can muster the courage to face it instead of being led like zombies toward our tech fantasies (myself included).
