I was born and raised in the Yoop, Lake Linden is my hometown! I've talked about it on a little on HN in the past so I'll just paste my previous comment but if anyone has any questions about the area I am happy to try and answer them.

The Yoop is a lovely area with loads of history and extremely kind people. It is also sadly filled with crushing poverty and brutal winters. I grew up in Lake Linden and one interesting location that isn't a mine is the abandoned Calumet Air Force radar station [1][2].
The copper mine in houghton is absolutely worth checking out and the tour is pretty great if you are into mining or anything historic. I've taken the tour a few times, you only get to go down a few levels due to the rest of the mine being flooded but it is still very interesting. This mine was a big one but the entire area was dedicated to copper and was extremely rich with the stuff. The mine, and others, actually closed down in 1933 due to low copper prices but reopened a couple shafts in 1937. I forget when they closed back down but I want to say it was in the mid 50s.

Michigan Tech claims that from Quincy alone, up to 756 million pounds of copper were produced from 1856 to 1925 [3]. The mine, with 90 levels, went to a final depth of 6,225 feet with a finial shaft length of 9,260 feet [4]. I'm not sure how reliable it is, I've only ever had my eyes on the Quincy Mining Company financials, but the national park services claim that over 10 billion pounds of copper were produced from the area [5].

Just this summer I was talking to an old timer who worked with the local mines pulling core samples and doing general geologic work. According to him there is still a massive amount of copper in the ground but with regulations and the completely dilapidated infrastructure, there hasn't been development for decades. With the rise in copper prices I have heard rumors of a few people buying up mineral rights in the last year or so but nothing too interesting beyond that. Personally I would love some deep pockets to come into the area to reopen the mines and revitalize the area, not sure I'll ever see that in my lifetime though.

Me too! I always worry he'll end up like old D.D.
My miles card is Bank of America. Worst bank I’ve ever dealt with. Horrible policies. Outdated online service. I paid off my card early (so I could continue using my card that month) with autopay still on, they pulled the statement balance from my checking again. Most other online banks have their payments system tied into the auto pay so it knows if a statement balance was paid. Instead, BoA takes your money and makes you deal with getting it back.

They also block transactions constantly. I get being cautious but they blocked my brand new card because I added it to Apple Pay (which you have to verify with them to set up so it makes no sense that they locked my card after verifying).
> Are you talking about C++ or high level languages in general?

c++ specifically. if I don't care about the difference between, for example, a list, a vector, and a deque, I am probably going to choose a higher level language to work in. that said, you can write container agnostic code with templates and range-based for and/or iterators if you really want.

I agree with your other points. in particular, it's annoying to have to reach for libcurl every time I want to do simple http stuff, and I have fond memories of scheme from cs 101, as beautiful and unpractical as it is.
Interesting that you frame it as a problem with the men and not the women - I'm not Japanese, but from what I've read, most Japanese men who regress, either by avoiding women or worse, see women as "not worth it". Why would they pursue women who don't seem to want or need them, act like men (rude, outgoing, and independent), don't want to have sex (God forbid children), and forgo traditions like marriage?

On one hand, being upset that women have financial independence seems fairly sexist. But on the other hand, if you're seeking affection and someone to raise your children and nobody is offering that, then ...

Basically it seems to me like both sexes are asking too much, while also being victims of the culture and the economy.
The point is that you don't just use it as a pile-of-files when you have SQL access to the data and instead use a high-level data model. This is not possible at all with ZIP.

I wish more people would publish data as SQLite databases (if the size permits, of course; usually it does). It's so much more reliable than CSVs, which have at least a few dimensions of significant differences (quoted/unquoted, comma vs semicolon vs tab vs space, headers/no headers, comments). Not to mention that initial data exploration can be done right in an SQLite explorer/browser tool.
doesn't the wall work just as well?
FB is multi cast two way speaking with logging. Radio is a simple broadcast.

Plus You can turn the radio off in a way you can’t with Facebook.

It’s The new kind of propaganda which can ONLY exist on FB/social media that is the problem.
She was speaking from experience.
One pattern I've heard (I think previously via Hacker News) is to start with a mobile design and progressively enhance the site for browsers with grid support. That way, older browsers fall back to the same experience as the mobile design.
It was a temporary measure, and the only volcano I know that would significantly move the needle is Yellowstone. And I really, really don’t want that to go off while I’m still alive, I like North America when it’s not covered in ash.
I can’t agree more with you, worse, due to audible auto play, I can’t stand browsing through their TV app at all.

The best Netflix interface is the one Apple designed for them on the Apple TV 1-3. I’m considering dusting it up just for Netflix.
So basically, unless you have enough spots for hydro, you need fossil fuel to cover renewables.

That's German policy. Lots of renewables backed by coal. No more investment into nuclear.

I know there are some countries that burn trash and plants quite successfully but I'm not sure it can be done world scale. There are some outliers like geothermal, tidal forces, battery storage but these are even smaller scale examples.
This is the correct answer. It's why people look for chocolate eggs left by a rabbit when they are supposedly celebrating the death and resurrection of the son of god, or why kids get gifts from a old obese man when they are supposedly celebrating the birth of that same godly spawn - rationalisations were innested on activities that people already enjoyed for one reason or another.

People turn things into traditions simply because they like doing them with some fixed cadence. The rationalisations tend to flow in later.
2,20m long sheets.
People who don’t use it are probably more likely to churn relative to customers who watch content, and would be less likely to share Netflix with friends. And that expected loss due to churn is probably more expensive than the resource costs of a customer who watches. I don’t have the actual answer but they undoubtedly perform this kind of calculation.
Galileo GNSS is publicly justified as being primarily for civilian use.

Navstar-GPS works fine though, so there must be some other reason.

Possibilities: military use, jobs program, pride, etc.
Mobile is nagware until I enable JS or use desktop mode. Blocked for being some goddamn frustrating now. I was formerly a heavy user, about fed up with the astroturfing, but this was the last straw. Life is noticably better now.
>Talk about overthinking it! This thread highlights the recurrent conflict that arises because my Myers-Briggs personality type is INFJ, but most programmers are not.

Meyers-Briggs has a number of issues[1] and is frankly, unscientific. But because it uses a survey, it evokes feelings of rigor. Sometimes I feel that engineers are so obsessed with rigor, they'd rather use a solution that is wrong but "goes through the motions" than a simpler solution.

For example, whether something is a a "Christmas Movie" is at it's heart, a matter of opinion. To answer it, simple polling a diverse sample of the US population could answer the question. But that's not a "sexy" answer - we want to buy into this idea of One Ground Truth that if we only framed our experiment perfectly, we can uncover.

The real truth is that qualitative research is messy. Doing a "good" job is easy, but doing a "great" job is a still unsolved problem... and sadly all to often we choose the appearance of rigor over actual useful research.

FAA certified mechanics and inspectors are held personally liable regardless of who they are working for and what they are working on.
Most of the towns in the area have decent internet, although I remember having a lot of outages, at least a few every winter during bad storms. I'm not aware of any gigabit connections but the speeds are enough to stream movies, play games, and fiddle around online. If you go off into some of the more remote areas, like 10-30 minutes outside of a town, you're largely stuck with satellite internet.
How could it be unintentional? At best it was a deliberate ignorance of the consequences of a settings schema upgrade. Just like how bank errors always are in favor of the bank.
> It's a lot of time for residents to be without a home while these things are sorted.

Though if you're renting, you can break your lease without fees and get your bond back if the building is no longer classified as being safe to live in (at least that's the NSW rental laws).

But of course if you're renting then home insurance isn't your problem (usually you'd just have contents insurance).
Can you point to anything scholarly about Holotropic Breathwork? I'm curious, but my searches turn up very... "crystal woo-woo" stuff. :(
I have given up and just not used Netflix before because of that awful obnoxious feature. There's nowhere you can navigate to in that app that doesn't play video, with sound - except presumably settings, but that doesn't help me choose a show. Awful, anti-user design. I hope the trend of people consciously fighting back against deliberately addictive apps continues. Personally I'm putting my smartphone in a safe next week and getting a crappy Nokia and seek g how long I can go.
> The government actively intervenes against the viability of labor by taxing labor income more heavily than capital income (both by the preferential tax rate for capitalism gains compared to “regular” income

The reason the long-term capital gains rate is lower than the top earned income rate is inflation. If you buy an asset for $100, there is 20% inflation over some years and you sell it for $130, your actual profit, the real increase in the value of your asset, is $10 rather than $30. This is why the lower rate doesn't apply for short-term investments.

What they ought to do is to calculate the capital gain in light of inflation (i.e. adjust the tax basis for inflation since the purchase date) and then use the same tax rates as for earned income. But the way they are doing it isn't exactly favoring long-term capital income. You can currently lose real value and end up owing capital gains taxes because the reduction in real value was less than the inflation over the period you held the asset.

Which isn't particularly relevant for the people just scraping by anyway. The long-term capital gains rate is lower than the highest earned income rate, but it's not lower than the rates low income people pay.

> and also because labor income, especially well into the middle class range, faces additional taxes—payroll taxes—on top of the taxation of “regular” income.)

Yes, the way payroll taxes are structured is dumb. Especially the cap past which rich people no longer have to pay them. (And the fact that social security makes higher payments to rich people rather than the same for everyone.)

But this is not really the main problem either. FICA is a total of ~15%, including the employer's portion. That's not nothing, and we should fix it, but the scope of the problem is larger than a 15% difference.
Absolutely!

You know, there's a lot of videos of Jordan Peterson being randomly harassed in public by people with a political agenda trying to make him look bad. Even though it's an obvious bad faith harassment situation, he takes the time to answer the questions anyway. Likely because he has full knowledge that even if his answer isn't for the "interviewer", many others will see it too.

I've tried to learn from his example.

Selling as in marketing it to same crowd.
This is a pretty interesting response. I think their UI and interface is highly innovative and their contributions to JS are pretty amazing.
> As a result I rarely open Netflix except when I already know what I want to watch

You'd be better off getting rid of Netflix altogether. The acceleration of addictiveness[1] caused by tech companies making their platforms ever more sticky is anti-human.

If there is a film/series you really need to watch, there's always Bit Torrent.

> You want to discuss your views but not be criticized for them?

Yes, that is how civilized discussion works. You criticize the idea, not the person who disagrees with you. Ad hominem attacks that escalate into trying to get people fired are not a debating tactic, they're an attack on the mechanism of open discussion itself.
The author's interpretation of clue 2 seemed odd:

% % 3. Clue 2: Barbara was either in the study or the bathroom; Yolanda was in the other.
% % Which room was Barbara found in?
woman(Bathroom), woman(Study), \+christine=Bathroom, \+christine=Study,
\+barbara=Dining, \+barbara=Kitchen, \+barbara=Livingroom, \+barbara=Pantry,

I thought, surely there's a better way to write that, a way that closely resembles the English "either a and b, or c and d". And Prolog in fact has disjunctions. (Prolog noob here, first time I've ever run a Prolog program.) Thus:

(barbara=Study, yolanda=Bathroom ; barbara=Bathroom, yolanda=Study),

I verified that the program still works with that change, and the performance seems equivalent. (Takes about 7 seconds to run on my 1.3Ghz fanless laptop.)
> Remember when it was annoying pop-ups that auto-played video and sound?

I remember even further back when the internet put users in control.
More importantly it is SpaceX's 21st launch of the year. Making 2018 the year with the most launches ever. One of the things that contributes to this is a stock of 'previously flown' boosters that allowed for more launches without having to build more engines and boosters. As the cadence improves the financial picture for SpaceX only gets better as far as I can tell.
Adding to wishlist: rotten tomatoes and IMDb score of each movie clearly visible when browsing in addition to Netflix rating. Maybe with a link back to IMDb/rt/... It’s infuriating that I need to have laptop or phone with me when browsing movies to see how they are rated.

Ps. Agree with everything you and parent said!
> my Myers-Briggs personality type is INFJ, but most programmers are not.

Aren't most programmers INTJ? Debate about MBTI aside, that's really not much of a difference...
I guess that’s why foreign investment bankers do so well there.
One thing I'm always reminded of when I hear about an HN reader bemoaning a feature/policy: Behind every feature change (like auto plays), there's a product manager who's tested changes to show that it maximizes some short-term metric.

Users get the products they "want", not what they need — or deserve:

Make Something People Need

> We are surrounded by well engineered — and increasingly addictive — technology that shapes what we do and how we think. Especially when you work at a large tech company, how do you trade giving users what they want and your own business’s profitability, with the negative effects that this leads to?

You, as a citizen, cannot sue the government under the theory "the government is violating the constitution". In order to have standing to file the suit, you must have suffered a particular injury related to the government's illegal conduct; the fact that the government is violating the law is not considered an injury.
I was playing with CSS Grid at work 2 weeks ago...but it didn't look right on my work PC. I was running IE 11. IE 11 has some specific tags for CSS grid, and they don't work like other browsers.

I went home to build something personal and thought CSS Grid would be awesome. Turns out my PC runs IE 11 (Windows 7...). I personally use Firefox Quantum for all my web browsing, but the fact that I had it meant there would be good enough amount of people that have it. At the point I gave up on CSS Grid, and just threw in bootstrap.
It's a good idea unless you're exchanging these files. I'd love couple of my clients switch from HDF5 to SQLite, HDF5 is horrible..

But if you exchange them, it's too easy for app developers to misuse the library causing user's data to be leaked to third parties, in free DB pages, and even in the way how exactly the DB is fragmented.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the average person that brags about mocking people they think don't belong in society doesn't have the same charisma as a professional comedian. Not to mention those two situations are extremely different: Carlin performs to audiences that voluntarily attend his events.

It's also worthwhile that despite your repeated insistence that mockery is a functional persuasive strategy, and despite my repeated asking, you still have yet to provide an example of this playing out successfully. This speaks for itself. The only thing approaching an example is referring to the Trump presidency, but as I pointed out this is just as much an example backfiring, if not moreso.
Well, the only thing that Godel showed was that if you have consistent assignment of a truth value to every well-formed statement in a given logic language (at least as complex the Peano postulates), you will get some statements which are assigned "true" or "false" but whose truth cannot be deduced in a given axiom system for the language. However, the above statement very much involves a statement about "truth" in much transcendent sense - see the discussion of Godel's Platonism and religious beliefs in the article.
But then it would be those cheap countries stealing IP. Just like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and China before them.
Huh, they extend the Game of Life with a complex neighbor kernel, and get more complex patterns emerging. This is a cool experiment, but hardly "biology of artificial life".
I would have chanted USA USA along with them but would never vote for a conservative American political candidate (at present)

This is an extraordinary claim, and is contrary to much of the UI theory I have read. Can you provide an example of a UI for a tool with the complexity of Blender which doesn't require a manual?
I use emacs, so I shouldn't disregard non ~standard defaults.. but blender was just too odd. 2.8 aligns it not with standards but with human ergonomics.
These two examples seem to be relegated to very specific subpopulations, that are doing something that would easily attracy Facebook's attention - nameley identifying as the opposite gender they did previously. The overwhelming majority of people can probably make a profile with a false name and use Facebook without issue.

Ultimately, though, people probably don't use fake names on Facebook because a large portion of the service's value is lost when trying to keep one's identity obfuscated. None of your friends, acquaintances, or co-workers will recognize the profile with the false name. Unless the profile picture is real, but that opens a vector for the government to find out in the real identity of the user too.
I keep looking at it because ZFS deduplication is unusable for me. In every instance I've tried using it, it has resulted in kernel panics likely due to out of memory. My current backup server, where I'd really like to use it, would need something like $1,500 of RAM to support dedup, if I measure it correctly (because the simulation seems to only do active blocks, not snapshots, so I don't have a good idea of actual DDT RAM required).
If we keep going in this direction we will quickly run out of adresses again.
It's just rhetoric, only a brain-damaged person wouldn't see it.
Usually the bigger ones which accommodate receptions and such would have them. Smaller ones, holes in the walls, etc, wouldn't nor would ones in modern, clean freeway-off-ramp strip malls, older ones may.
This is really cool! I see a lot of these sorts of projects, where DOOM is either ported to another platform, or some additional integration is done...

Having not played it, is there something specific about DOOM which makes it so easily accessible to these sorts of hacks?

"Everything" isn't offensive, no. But some things are, to some people, and sometimes for good reasons. We should try to be a bit more careful in our talking and thinking, I think.
They don't pay for preferential treatment at the expense of other users -- and they shouldn't -- but they pay for the bandwidth they consume just like you and I have to. Otherwise we'd all have OC3840 connections running to our basements.
Go back up to the start where I said that the best case was that you get fired.

Either you make progress or get... encouragement to go find a better job. Sounds like a win-win to me.
