That's not a counter-argument, it's a cop out. SSL negotiation uses more bandwidth than a vanilla HTTP GET request too, but sometimes a secure channel is more important than preserving bandwidth.

> Telcos with TDM or CDMA transmission have serious backwards compatibility problems.

More cop outs. In order to resolve problems, you have to make changes. You can't show up to the solutions meeting and proclaim that a problem can't be solved because "the old system doesn't work that way." Sometimes you must abandon the legacy systems to solve new problems.
Good question, I guess the beacon is needed to wake the phone app, that's probably all, right? The beacon does has an accelerometer, but then again, so does the phone...
That must be nice.
That's untrue and bad advice. The reality is that it depends (from country and bank), but often banks will have a margin call clause in the contract. In my experience they almost always have such a clause to cover their own ass. They'll not use it for relatively self contained cases, but when the shit hits the fan and there's a 2008 style downturn, they will, because they want to protect their balance sheets.

This clause will then hit you at the worst possible time, when the economic situation is just bad everywhere and you'll be expected to prop up your mortgage, only you can't if you have no cash and nobody will lend you because you are in negative equity.

Yes, coffee is made in many different ways around the world. The French, for example, only drink drip coffee at home. The Viennese famously have it strong with whipped cream. Much of the Mediterranean uses an Ottoman-derived concentrated boil method. Trying to find a drip coffee in these places, and many other countries, can be quite difficult.

It's not interesting, it's just true.
true... what does VR offer in those categories over desktops?
I don’t think so. Instead you would want DoH (dns over https). DNSSEC is designed to protect against MiTM and is not really effective at anything else.
Yes, there's a big movement promoting night trains in Europe right now. I see "night train maps" in my feed all the time. Additionally one of the fastest growing Instagram accounts is one shaming influencers who are flying instead of taking the train.

The Northeast Corridor Amtrak route is fine. The Acela trains are nicer and a bit faster but IMO not so much so that I typically will pay out of my own pocket at 2x the price. (The pricing is really for business travelers for which they only really need to be competitive with air.)

I much prefer those routes to flying. But Penn Station in NYC really is a disaster. (It's a long and sad story dating back to the Penn Central bankruptcy.) Although things are slowly being fixed up as part of a massive building project.

I am not sure if you have handled this or even if it is possible to handle the fact that the "basic" component of the salary is not a fixed percentage of the CTC. So two people with same CTC can have different "basic". This basic component also determines the max exemptions you can claim for e.g. under HRA. Also, employers themselves try to structure the basic and the HRA components to reduce the tax burden of their employees by modifying the basic. Exemptions under HRA have to be declared by the employer.
> Email is federated, but everyone running and managing their own email servers is too costly, so for consumers, it migrated to large sites.

Well, federation is the sweet spot between distribution and centralization. I've run my own email service for quite some years now, it is just fine.

A lot of people have bad experiences running their own mail senders though, because they do not go through the checklists and deliverability tests to make sure things come through. Google's SMTP service will only accept mail over TLS, most good email services will reject mail from servers which do not have a matching rDNS on their IP, most will reject senders who have not set up SPF and DKIM, some will reject those which do not have a DMARC policy (including a reporting address).

If you use any good email deliverability testing tool, and iron these issues out in your configuration, you can fairly reliably deliver emails.
Show HN: Robots Are My Passion
I guess I like to think of the company in the terms of my coworkers instead of the organization. But you're right, there would be no moral audit before letting me go if they decided I wasn't working out.
I object to this for completely different reasons. Do whatever you like to learn the material, but when you're sitting in a lecture, please don't have a laptop open -- it's terribly distracting for the other people in the room. You may stick resolutely to note-taking and have no messaging programs, games, or video playing. Even so, your constantly updating screen, your tapping keys, are a magnet for others' attention. And that's a best-case scenario by far. Few students are disciplined enough to stay off of Facebook during a lecture. Laptops have no place in a lecture hall.

I was excited to buy a nearly fully loaded mac mini a few weeks ago and an e-gpu so that I could get rid of my "gaming (honestly mostly youtube)" desktop and just dual boot windows when needed. I figured it'd be the perfect middle ground where if I wanted to game (2-3 times a month) I'd just boot to Windows. (I've quit hackintoshing after a decade, they're just a pain to keep functioning reliably).

Unfortunately there's tons of issues with egpus in Bootcamp installed Windows. I didn't realize it'd be so drastically different from a vanilla install.

I loved my old Samsung S9 laptop. That thing cost a small fortune but it was so powerful for its size.
Maybe, maybe not. Some routes are one trail per week, some 3x a week. There are many interesting places not reachable by train at all. If your trip works with those limits then there is a pass you can buy.

To be explicit, and using an example similar to the one in the article, if your CI is (2, 40), with the center being 21, there is no reason to believe that the true value is closer to 21 than to, say, 3.

To provide an extreme case, during the Iraq war, epidemiologists did a survey and came up with an estimated number of deaths. The point value was 100K, and that's what all the newspapers ran with. But the actual journal paper had a CI of (8K, 194K). There's no reason to believe the true value is closer to 100K than it is to 10K. Or to 190K.
Slightly related, I just made a Webpack plugin that lets you use Markdown as configuration data: https://www.npmjs.com/package/mdconf-loader

I've been playing with ways of entering test data for years. At Triggerz where I have worked, we use Excel heavily. That works really well but I have to open Excel or LibreCalc to edit the files, which feels really slow and annoying compared to all other files that I can keep in my editor. There is a read-only plugin for VSCode but not yet one that lets me edit.

Markdown tables are quite easy to write when the editor supports them (i.e. auto-formatting), and work pretty well for me.

It has all of them!

Return:

CL-USER> (defun foo () (return-from foo 1) 2)
→ FOO
CL-USER> (foo)
→ 1

If:

CL-USER> (if t 1 2)
→ 1
CL-USER> (if nil 1 2)
→ 2

While:

CL-USER> (let ((x t))
(loop for j from 1 to 10
while x
do (when (= j 3)
(setf x nil))
collect j))
→ (1 2 3)

Break:

CL-USER> (loop for i from 1 to 10 do (format t "~&i: ~a~%" i) when (> i 4) do (return) do (format t "~& -~%"))
i: 1
-
i: 2
-
i: 3
-
i: 4
-
i: 5
→ NIL

Continue:

CL-USER> (do ((i 1 (1+ i)))
((> i 10))
(format t "~&i: ~a~%" i)
(when (= i 4) (go end))
(format t "~& -~%")
end)
i: 1
-
i: 2
-
i: 3
-
i: 4
i: 5
-
i: 6
-
i: 7
-
i: 8

i: 9

i: 10

Why should a billion dollar corporation get to decide which opinions are acceptable and which views don't get a platform?

I'm as far to the left as you can get. I used to support stricter moderation on social media platforms, but I'm putting my foot in my mouth now. In practice, these corporations are just as likely to censor leftist views as they are to censor right-wing views.

Even people who study history and politics don't agree on definitions of racism, sexism, etc. There's a lot of nuance that a $10/hr contractor who sat through a one-day training on offensive content at Facebook won't understand.

This type of censorship doesn't help progressives, it just lets corporations determine the window of acceptable discourse.

No, the problem is who is responsible for paying the fines. If the terminating carrier were responsible for paying robocall fines, this problem would be solved overnight.

But for some reason, the American people can't stomach this solution because we have a obsession with perfection in justice. The counter argument is, "The carrier isn't the one who is making the robocalls!" My POV is, that doesn't matter.

Unless carriers are obliged to participate in creating a network that supports compliance, law enforcement will always hit a brick wall when attempting to enforce existing laws. Carriers have been given _years_ to solve this problem, and in 2019 we're pitched STIR/SHAKEN... Seriously?

Make the problem more expensive than complacency and it will get solved.

Opportunity cost is huge... and the internet definitely compounds the feelings about that.

I think the key is to find things that cause you not to care about the opportunity cost of everything you're missing because you're doing the thing you most want to do.

Right now I'm at a point in my life where I'm seriously considering shunning all media, not just social media, but media altogether.

The constant nagging reminder of the opportunity cost of things I'm missing because the choices I make pander to responsibility instead of fun and happiness while all those around me sink themselves into debt having fun is depressing. I have nobody to blame but myself of course, but the media constantly showing you what you're missing out on definitely doesn't help.
You might be interested in a book called Moondust. The author realized in the early 2000s that at some point soon all of the astronauts who walked on the moon would be gone. He set out to interview each of them about their experiences at the time, and since visiting the moon.

It's a mix of space history and personal reflections on the perspective they got, that none of us will likely have.

The reality is that there are a lot of people who can't afford to own their own property.

The council/govenment simply cannot house everyone, and the population is growing faster than the rate new houses are built.

Private landlords actually solve a lot of people's problems by renting their properties out to said people. And the contract that is signed between the tenant needs to be a win-win situation for it to work.

Specifically speaking for people who are renting. The 'win' for them is that they have a place to stay, they do have a choice where they stay. If they want to stay in a 3 bed house, they'll need to pay whatever rate that rent is going for.

One problem is that some tenants try renting in a property they simply cannot afford. So when it's time to pay rent, they take advantage with the system and refuse to pay. It's actually really difficult to evict people from your rented properties even though they signed and agreed to a contract.

The 'win' for landlords is that they get rent. If you're a good tenant who looks after the property and pay rent on time, imagine that there is a problem with the property and the landlord doesn't get it fixed or refuses to get it fixed then really the tenants should aim to look for somewhere else to live. The landlord will lose out on a good loyal tenant.

I don't think its fair to claim that all landlords are parasites. Tenants can be horrible, landlords can be horrible, but unless the agreement is a win-win situation for everyone. Somebody is going to have a bad time.
