But I wouldn't call them "non-answers", and I don't think he pulls any punches. I feel like his personality comes through, and yes he has opinions that I don't really agree with. Maybe it's not really a worthwhile way to spend time, but it all feels real enough. Do you have some examples of what's so egregious that it doesn't seem like it's really him?
People want to live near their work so they can spend less time commuting and more time with their families. The people that successfully do this are usually highest in the food chain and push out of that area all the others lower on the food chain.

Thus cities filled with high-level management types as they're the only ones that can afford the rent and the mortgages.

To be fair, not everyone hates commuting, but many people do, thus the drive towards urbanization.

Furthermore, even if people don't mind commuting, they'd want to find a reasonably nice area to live to commute from. Those nice places get populated and overrun and people lower on the food chain get priced out; again the cycle continues.

Until all the people lowest on the food chain must commute very far distances. At some point, many of them realize that if they were to calculate the commute as unpaid work hours, that they're actually being paid way less than what they make on paper.

So now even those people lowest on the food chain move away in search for higher wage jobs with shorter commute times, and the cycle continues again and again.

The sweet spot is finding a short commute time with low-cost housing. That's truly maximizing your wage.

It's not just about being a hip urbanite.

Ask HN: I'm poor at explaining things, how can I fix that?
Every time I try to explain something to someone, I go either too deep in details or uses wrong examples, leading them to be completely lost.

Today was the tipping when I was trying to explain some basic mathematics to my daughter, and managed to lost here, making her more confused than before.

The worst part is that I love sharing what I know. I want to share my knowledge with my children, sharing my passion with them, and this is a blow for me.

I, unfortunately, don't think I'm not the only one, and I hope that some of you managed to turn the ship around, found help and improved themselves.

If so, I would love to have your insights on it, and what can I do to be a better pedagogue.

Thank you.

That's a good assessment. I think my difficulty stemmed more from knowing that my Father could extract quite a bit from the text--especially since he is the son of a pastor/read the KJB at age 4 and could quote scripture to me seemingly at random. He is also the most interested out of my social group in art history, and is an english professor. Right up his alley!

A government’s own laws may restrict what it can do outside of its own territory, but those restrictions, if they exist, don't always include following local law, and so it's entirely unjustified to conclude that a government acting under its own laws would not have the described access.

I'm curious is this is a mechanism behind social anxiety. In some social situations I very clearly lose the ability to think - all thats left is an empty mind and my body going through the motions. Its completely different than my regular way of living (from my perspective, maybe not from other people's perspective) but definitely makes it more difficult to connect with others and build friendships.

This is a really fair question. Amazon doesn't do it well, but just about no one currently does it better. It's like looking at Yahoo or AltaVista before Google came out and saying they're plenty successful without having incredible search.

Of course, it's not the same, and retailers need to do a hundred other things correctly as well, but there is a lot of data to show that people go where the good search is.

>>There's nothing stopping him from paying more. He just writes a check to "Department of the Treasury" and sends it off to D.C. Problem solved.

And then some pr*ck in the Senate decides that 3 times as much as Bill Gates paid goes to a pork barrel project to create 25 jobs in his district? The best use of his money?

Bill Gates and all with the Bill Gates' mindset should pay the minimum required and invest the rest to better the world privately.
My Starbucks has a large oval desk with a raised central oval with lots of plugs (as a kind of divider), very reminiscent of University. Not a coincidence. They also have some soft chairs, some standard cafe tables and chairs. A real mix. Designed for each person to find their place.

Most of the brands that approach my fiance expect 5% engagement (likes) and 1% comments for a paid campaign. She has 20k followers and gets 700 or 800 likes on pictures of our dogs, more when she shares a recipe or travel post. Sponsored stuff with a brand tie in is always higher than that.
This is silly. Bill Gates thinks his taxes should be higher, because he thinks all people earning money in the way he does should pay higher taxes. If he wrote a check to double his own personal tax payment it wouldn't make a dent in the US budget. But if you doubled the taxes every billionaire pays, it would make a huge dent.

So he's saying, his class of wealth should pay more. If it's just him who does it, it doesn't solve the government's problems, and he's better off spending the money himself directly on the things he cares about. But if everyone at his scale paid more, that _would_ help.
This is definitely debatable. However, because *BSD had the same semantics as Linux (IIUC), we can infer that the fsync()-syncs-only-writes-through-this-open-file semantics is actually what's reasonable to implement.

But then he doesn't get to passive-aggressively whine about all of his piles of money that the government won't take from him.

Suppose you are right that he is being passive agressive. I strongly disagree with this assessment but let’s for the sake of argument agree that he is being passive aggressive. Why is his right to be passive-aggressive diminished? Is he not allowed to be passive-aggressive or hypocritical or any other negative view you have about him?

The correctness of his view that people like him ought to be taxed at a higher rate is not dependent upon his character flaws or lack thereof. The belief ought to be judged on its own merits and not analyzed based on whether or not his character passes muster.

We have been trying to engage the international development community in working with crowdsourcing of content in a wiki around water issues, https://akvopedia.org It hasn’t been very successful.

I have seen efforts around using a StackOverflow model to get engagement, but it hasn’t been successful.

The way we ended up getting content varied. We convinced those that had content to allow us to republish it in wiki suitable format. We hired an editor to do a lot of the work. We built in content publishing in the Akvopedia as a way to publish results from programmes.

It is interesting how reluctant a group of professionals can be at contributing, despite it being an appreciated source. We hear from UN organisations HQ in New York that when they get new staff they send them to the Akvopedia to read up on the subject. We know thousands of people read the content, from all over the world. I meet people at conferences that used the resource.

We specifically licensed the content to be portable to the Wikipedia, but the Wikipedia editors we have encountered are not very helpful when trying to move content over or linking content. The exception has been some content we have managed to get onto Wikiversity. But even there we met some resistance.

I think it is really important that we try different methods to spread this type of information. Something will stick at some point I am sure. Keep up the good work.

> How would a TLS-using protocol be used as a DDoS amplification vector?

Turning off UDP DNS would break everything that still uses it but adding the DNSSEC records makes the UDP responses a DDoS amplification vector even if some clients use TLS.

> You can return resolver errors or no data, there is plenty of options for DNS blackholing.

DNSSEC validates NODATA responses and clients can respond to resolver errors in various ways that amount to more timeouts.

> You'll need a PKI for that anyway so you can deploy DNSSEC root keys.

That's assuming you want to MitM the connection rather than merely log the attempt before dropping it or record it for traffic analysis even if you can't MitM it.

In the specific case of Starbucks (at least in the US), the employees do have a bit of control over the music. They're able to curate a playlist of store "favorites" and are usually able to change the playlist from whatever's playing to the "favorites" playlist. The problem is not very many employees know about it, and it requires using a specific piece of hardware (an in-store iPod also used for inventory). They playlist will also switch roughly every 30 minutes or so, so they have to keep switching it back.
yep, that'd be the most comprehensive way certainly. downward-facing cameras could probably get most of it tho.

> Finally if an actor won't send a message untill it has received another one, I fail to see how statically declared handlers will help.

Think of it as reacting to messages, not waiting. In that model actors of course can react by sending messages, but can't have a special waiting state for specific messages, making it impossible to block other handlers. I'm not sure why this is hard to understand.

We do have this problem solved in every possible way. But it's so not a big deal with actor model, that there is no point sacrificing any flexibility for it.
>If a girl dumps you over text message, she wasn't worth your time anyways.

Perhaps, but according to statistics I've seen, this kind of behavior, along with "ghosting" (which can include several different things), has become extremely common in dating these days. If most people are acting this way, it's hard to console someone with "he/she wasn't worth your time anyways".

>If someone downvotes you without explanation, ignore the downvote.

Same goes here: if this is the typical behavior of a majority of people, you can't just ignore it. The whole culture (as in dating above) is broken, and needs to be fixed.
I think it shows the motivation of the business. They're creating an area of easy conversation, not concentration.

By having something similar to the volume of conversation, you make conversation both "safe" and less distracting. Safe since speaking won't break some period of silence that is bound to happen. Breaking silence in a populated area requires a certain amount of social tension, "Why is everyone quiet? Will I bother people if I talk here?" etc. Less distracting since there is no period of silence for someone to break. The two people talking to each at a normal volume no longer become loudest thing in the room and the center of attention, they're just "lost in the noise". Many references can be found for these concepts, but I apologize for not providing them.

Sound masking would be more ideal for concentration, but I'm sure the regular Starbucks patrons would be a bit confused at constant "hoooshhhh" sounds of a noise generator.

You can find a few quiet coffee shops with very quiet music, but it's extremely awkward having a conversation in a place like this. I don't frequent these places with company.
it's only a matter of time before we all have bone-conducting headphones and can wirelessly receive/send sounds to each other (and choose our own music at work)

Maybe you did, but the people making the decisions about how to treat them and how much to pay them obviously don't.
At a certain point of accuracy you run into issues with this - seconds don't pass at the same rate due to relativistic effects (both speed and gravitational).

An example we already deal with is GPS satellites orbiting Earth. Their clocks tick a little bit slower on account of how fast they're orbiting, and tick a bit faster on account of being further up Earth's gravity well. The gravitational effect is stronger, and the net effect is that a GPS clock advances an extra 38 microseconds over the course of a day (as measured by a clock on the ground).

So when you try to standardize on "seconds since the epoch," the inevitable question is "Seconds according to who?"

The space for the name is pre-booked, so in a sense all files always have a full 8-char name and 3-char extension, whether they like it or not.

If you want to support <8-char names, <3-char extensions, or no extension at all, you need to decide on values that indicate this, because those bytes will still need filling with something.

(On 6502-based systems, 0 would be a reasonable choice for a padding value, because you get a free zero check every time you read a byte. The 8086 doesn't work like this... I don't think any particular value suggests itself. Perhaps they thought picking a printable character would be useful.)
Okay got it, that will help. I’ve just made a mental note between bureau and eau de toilette. Thanks!

Edit: this got me wondering about bureau’s etymology. It’s a strange one:

The story of the word bureau is one of substitutions. In its original French, bureau originally named a “coarse woolen cloth,” particularly baize, the green, felt-like fabric that covers card and pool tables. Historically, bureaus draped desks, desks filled offices, and offices housed the business of governmental agencies ... Etymologically, though, bureau wasn’t green. The term derives from burel, an Old French diminutive of bure, “dark brown cloth.” Bure, in turn, may be from the Latin burrus, a word for “red” and related to the “fiery” Greek root that gives English pyro. Alternatively, the Old French bure may come the Latin burra, “shaggy garment” or “flock of wool.”

Bureau appears in English in French contexts as early as 1664 for an “office” or “business,” natively established by 1720. In the 1690s, bureau harkened back to its earlier sense of “writing desk” and extended to a “chest of drawers” by 1755, which the Oxford English Dictionary (OED) notes as a chiefly American usage.

Malthus lived in the 1700s. The 1970s neo-malthusianism (Limits to Growth, Club of Rome etc) didn't predict apocalypse in 25, rather "Given business as usual, i.e., no changes to historical growth trends, the limits to growth on earth would become evident by 2072" [1]. But they did indeed think population growth was a major problem and they were right of course.

The neomalthusian ideas didn't you should have no kids, but rather that you should not have a lot of kids.

They weren't required to, but the convention for the shell was, unlike unix with its X bit:

extension COM: just load the file into memory and start executing from the very beginning (I think the max size of these might have been 64KB or something).

extension EXE: this is a "full" executable with different segments - load it properly

extension BAT: this is a "shell" script, run it with the interpreter

The advantages of COM over EXE were slightly smaller file size on disk and slightly faster startup as you didn't have to set up segments and stuff first. Some versions of DOS even had a program called EXE2BIN that converted an EXE file into a COM file, if this was possible. The joys of the 16-bit "tiny" memory model ...
