I work in customer service at a medium sized food company. We have a no questions asked guarantee. I'm somewhat torn on the money-back guarantee philosophy. I hear people say that it ends up being profitable at the end of the day. But, it entitles people to complain (and expect compensation) about every last little thing. I have customers that call and ask if one of our products is Gluten Free. Nowhere on the label have we stated that it is. Yet, they are beside themselves to hear that it is in fact not gluten free. I then have to either send them a refund or a replacement for their own negligence. I've had to do this for people who have bought our whole wheat flour, expecting it to be gluten free, because we're known as a company that sells some gluten free items. Rewarding this kind of behavior, while reinforcing the BS "customer is always right" philosophy, must be to the detriment of society. I wish that we (USA) would do away with our conception of customer service and would adjust to something more akin to what you find in Europe. No facade, just people interacting, for better and for worse.

I'm ranting now, I guess I say all this to say, I could see having an absolute guarantee being profitable in the long run, but as the person who has to deal with entitled whiny consumers, I absolutely hate it.
The title should more accurately be “A Wehrmacht Interrogator..” There was no evidence that Scharff was ever a member of the Nazi Party. In fact, he was a conscript as well as married to a British South African and his father was a decorated Prussian officer (the old Prussian military tradition secretly despised the Nazis.)
It sounds like you are assuming that your situation applies everywhere in Europe, which seems unlikely to me.
They can build what you propose, but there is a downside: cost. A 2 story house costs more to build. Towers cost a lot of money for what you get, and are hard to insulate well. The driveway your propose actually takes up more of the lot than the one you hate (it is cheaper, but there are downsides to stone that makes most people willing to pay a lot more for something hard).

You can get the nice house you propose if you are willing to pay. However most people who build decide that pretty isn't worth paying that much extra for when a cheaper house gives them the space they want/need. When they realize that a square box with the garage out front is cheap to build but too ugly they ask was can be done and the builder offers a few features that don't cost that much extra to break things up. Which is why you see a lot of bay windows and dormers, but fewer two stories.
I think you're correct on both counts, and that status-gaming is the main cause of this behavior. I'd like to pitch another potential contributor, though: correcting each other is how we spread useful knowledge, which helps our group compete against other groups.
As always, ask "Best for what?". If your goal in life is tech and nothing else matters, the SF Bay Area tops everything.

If you want to raise kids in a reasonably safe environment, have them attend good schools, live in a house or equivalent condo, commute less than four hours per day, etc., the Bay Area is simply impossible. (Maybe if your spouse also draws a tech salary.) Do the research. In this sense, it's not "best", but rather one of the worst places in America.

The right way to design it would be to allow apps to declare an allowed range of Electron dependency in package.json.

For instance, if my app depends on Electron 5.x, then it will only run if 5.x is installed. If other apps require 4.x, then a system needs to be in place to allow both 4.x and 5.x to be installed on the system simultaneously.

This way if—say—you have five Electron apps running on your system, three of them require Electron 5.x, and two of them require Electron 4.x, then you only need two versions of Electron installed to your system instead of today's approach of bundling one with each app.

Honestly not sure why Java doesn't work this way too. I think .NET does, doesn't it?

There are side effects with rTMI and they can be very serious, however, they are not typical. Side effects include: Headache, Scalp discomfort at the site of stimulation, Tingling, spasms or twitching of facial muscles, and Lightheadedness [0]. Serious side effects can include: Seizures, Mania, particularly in people with bipolar disorder, and Hearing loss if there is inadequate ear protection during treatment [1].

Particularly in the issues around PTSD that was induced alongside cranial trauma, rTMI is an unlikely treatment, though still viable. The issue is that PTSD and concussions share strong co-morbidities. If you have a concussion, your physician is more likely to suggest other treatments, as rTMI may cause other issues. In reading through the literature, I cannot find a case where an issue was seen, but I can understand the caution with such a new technology. That said, there may have been cases that I am unaware of. I'll be very clear here, I am not a medical doctor. If you are considering rTMI treatment, please see a physician.

It's important to note that this method of slaughter is also considered more humane, and for the same reason why the fish tastes better when prepared this way. Because the fish's body is not flooded with stress chemicals like it is when the brain is not destroyed first and its blood remains inside.

In other words the usual fish slaughter method leaves the fish alive as it slowly suffocates to death and then is killed. This results in muscles filled with lactic acid and other bad things.
What makes you think it's unlikely? The Chromium team seems unreceptive to the idea that e.g. `webRequest`'s ability to block a request entirely is a security/privacy feature, and instead views it as a bug to be fixed.

I have the same unsettling feeling as you. The conspiracy theorist in me is definitely on high alert and sees it as an attempt at conditioning this generation towards accepting a lower quality of life than their parents had. If we can be made to actually believe we want to live in tiny cramped homes and apartments, then when it comes to pass we won’t get out the pitchforks and torches and riot.

The comment you are referring to was made by someone considerably older than eighteen.

> Is the new generation reading news? I highly doubt it. I think the new generation is caught up in quizzes that stir up emotions, and psychological tests that determine whether a giraffe is your spirit animal.

When people write of the 'new generation' they tend to be a generation older and slightly out of touch with this 'new generation'. I think you are allowing your assumptions to cloud your judgement somewhat.

80% of this so-called 'news' that you are seemingly quite assertive in defending is the creation of PR agencies. Not sure what relevance your comments on 'anonymous news' has to do with my comment.

I stand by my original comment, there is no point getting engrossed in the Punch and Judy Trump show, Brexit or anything else of that ilk. There is also another question that has to be asked of news - 'does this affect my life or the world I live in?' This applies to sport too, following with a passion the comings and goings of sports celebrities is a waste of time unless you play the sport yourself.

Hence HN is a very good filter. A normal news source will have stories that are clickbait, hard to not be interested in at an entertainment level.

This attitude does not mean passivity, a lack of interest in the world and a lack of engagement in politics. On the contrary, people that shout at their TV to the tune of the latest Trumpisms are stuck on their sofa and not doing anything.

You might be assuming the cameras work as they do in Switzerland.

In the US a common scenario is a private company installs the cameras for free and gets to collect most of the revenue. They adjust the yellow timing downward so that you don't have time to stop between the light turning yellow and it going to red. Then they send tickets in the mail to people who ran the light. Then if you do a study proving that they adjusted the timing downward to unsafe levels as a state sponsored scam, you get arrested and fined for "unlicensed practice of engineering".

> It's a misconception that you have to wait with IPv6.

Yes and no. As I stated at the end of my comment, the problem w/ IPv6 is that who's benefitting the most isn't clear: I am interested in it, as a power user. Average Joe doesn't care. App developer doesn't care (no killer IPv6 apps yet). Large ISPs with extensive CG-NAT deployments don't care (not worth the money, yet, see IPv6 adoption in the UK).

Who cares about HTTP/3? Average Joe — Not really. Mozilla/Google — Hell yeah they do. It'll be in Chrome before anyone else (if it isn't already). Same with nginx/Apache/any other webserver, Joe Blog with his own VPS will want to enable it. And that's all you need.
I really wish there was more diversity in offerings when it came to manufactured/trailer homes. To clarify, I'm not talking about RVs.

I like tiny houses, but really only in the sense that I'm fascinated by unusually small things. Otherwise I think they're actually kind of ridiculous if your motives are to downsize and not pay $300,000+ on a house

Trailer homes are pretty incredible when you think about it. They're the closest we've come yet to building houses on an assembly line in a factory. The entire thing ships in one piece. Just plunk it down on the property, hook up the utilities, and there you go.

And the kicker is, they're competitive with tiny homes in terms of cost, but they're not tiny. They're small, certainly, but not tiny. This is because trailer home manufacturers have got it all figured out, whereas most tiny houses are these bespoke, custom numbers.

Alas, if you live in a trailer home then you're considered "trailer trash".

I wish some brave soul would undertake the task of creating, I don't know, the VW bug of trailer homes. Doesn't have to be a luxury thing, just something with character and identity. Something you can be proud of because it has a personality, just like the millions of others like it.

Until then, if you want a break from the norm of homeownership, then it's either a condo, a tiny house, or a refurbished bus.

This isn't something that got passed down like a children's game of "telephone"; the outlandish details are present in the original contemporaneous accounts and we have copies of them (digitized even! [1]). So, if it was made up, it was at least made up at the time.

However, the person making the claim is Pierre-François Percy [2], chief surgeon of Napoleon's Grande Armée and a member of the Académie des sciences and, later, honorary member of the Académie Royale de Médecine. Inventing a case like this would be wildly out of character.

Reflexively dismissing every story from the past is just as fallacious as believing every detail.

There's a lot of really shitty construction projects posted to /r/diy. It's a popular past-time there to point out all the things that were done wrong based on the submitted photos. There's been entire posts (usually of decks and the like) where the consensus is "That thing is so unsafe it needs to be torn down and started over from scratch." We're talking such fundamental inadequacies as not building a foundation, or not consulting load charts to determine spacing or lumber size. To give you an idea of how bad it was, I used taller floor joists, on shorter spacing, and with less than half the span, of some of the worst deck construction projects posted on there. Here's one example; unfortunately the photos have rotted away: https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY/comments/1da2rg/i_finally_built...

If you simply do the research and follow it, which is will within the capabilities of almost everyone posting here, then you should be OK. The mistakes you'll make will be relatively minor.
I understand how an encoder could eat up so much memory and justify it in some way, but I can't buy that it's a neccesity or even acceptable in the long run (maybe this is stated to be in the prototype stage).

From what I've seen AV1 breaks frames/segments up into a kd-tree and brute forces these leaves to find the transformation that looks the best with the smallest size. An over simplification obviously, but with everything that encoders are doing I still think it is naive to design them with such a simplistic view of concurrency that they have to be treated as a hundred small files for a hundred CPU cores.

This works, but you better have a sizable and stable business that already has been proven, and now want to increase volume by removing risk and uncertainty from the minds of potential customers.

Lowering our standards of living in the interests of better quality of life is cool.

This looked interesting as a way for me to let me friends know about my music gigs without giant group texts.

I installed the app (on iOS) and tried to send a test, got this popup: "TextBlast will open your SMS app for each contact and prefill the message and the contact name, you will have to send and press back after it is sent, the next message will appear."

While I'm sure this is just an unfortunate limitation imposed by iOS on apps, and probably a smart one at that, it also makes it nearly useless for it's proposed use case.

If I have to click two specific small buttons for each message to send, that would be a pretty large amount of work to send even 100 messages. I have a hard time actually considering this "Bulk SMS" or "Sending Mass Messages Easily", the two claims they managed to make in the headline.

Also, minor compared to the first issue, but there is no Search function while adding contacts to a group.

One book that changed me was reading Master and Margarita in Russian for the first time.

It was the first book I started reading I could not put down until the end. Gained a lot of appreciation for literature at that time.

The other book that I enjoyed and changed me was ‘The Wisdom of Insecurity’ by Alan Watts. I was a fan of Alan Watts works through his lectures already and it was wonderful to hear his ideas in writing for the first time.

The book is available to read for free online (https://antilogicalism.files.wordpress.com/2017/07/wisdom-of...).

I wish everyone read or watched Alan Watts lectures and books. The world would be a much nicer place if that was the case.

My favorite quote is by him:

‘We thought of life by analogy with a journey, a pilgrimage, which had a serious purpose at the end, and the thing was to get to that end, success or whatever it is, maybe heaven after you’re dead. But we missed the point the whole way along. It was a musical thing and you were supposed to sing or to dance while the music was being played.’

That's funny, I've had to implement a queue, linked list (singly and doubly), heap and binary tree, and other custom data structures that use concepts from all of these in the past month. Depends on what you're working on. If you're writing an engine of some sort, you need to know these things, and often importing third party implementations is neither desired nor worth it. If you're writing business logic, then of course, import some third party lib and do things the quick way.
exactly, same as with a frame... I haven't done much with resizable iframes in a while, but I do remember that at least in the v5-v6 browser era that iframes wouldn't resize properly to match their containers without JS to handle the event, I'm unsure if this is still true, as I haven't really done anything with iframes in nearly a decade now.

aside: used to use/implement something like ajax callbacks with hidden frames and dynamic form posts.

Man, I love JS/Browsers today over pre-2016.

Kids have massive purchasing power, a fact which was discovered by marketers in the 50s and cultivated extensively since then. Marketers back to then discovered they could actually market directly to kids, which wasn’t a thing before and something people take for granted now. In American households kids drive massive percentages of household spending, not just indirectly but directly as well.

> Kids have no value in a market economy until they have purchase power

Market economies are based entirely on investment. Market economies value investment and therefore kids. If people aren’t investing in kids, it’s because of market economy? as a matter of fact Americans invest tons of money in early childhood education and their children at an early age. It’s an American obsession. The problem is that outcomes have little to do with dollars invested. American culture at this point has devolved into pseudo fascist corporation and leisure identity worship, so people don’t even know what education is. Being a “geek” in America now means you watch tv and play video games. Buying your kid a tablet and plopping then down with some STEM edutainment software isn’t education. It’s just unfortunate, miguided ignorance, and we get what we pay for.
