Nobody made that budget. It's a reactive thing ("wow, look what I've spent! How did that happen?") instead of planning for it.

I wouldn't be surprised (but feel free to correct me) if the vast majority of people in that income bracket don't have an up-front defined budget. My wife and I definitely never have. The only time we really gave it a look was when we had to decide on an acceptable mortgage payment.

Seriously, why is MS doing this? Internet Explorer died years ago, Edge never took off, and Google isn't about to give up their market share for spyware without a fight. It's like MS thinks this is Browser Wars 3.0. Heaven help me if it turns out that MS seems to be doing something comparatively good.
Sorry if this is nonsense, are these semirings a form of "Kernel (linear algebra)"? They seem superficially similar at least, a normalized matrix which can serve as an operation applied stepwise to a larger dataset.
> I don't know why bike riding should be considered superior to building a world in Minecraft as an example.

Nothing against fortnite, but we are animals with bodies, not brains in a jar.

This is why I'd say that riding a bike around¹ is more valuable than playing fortnite.

1: And bike riding can be a group thing as well. When I was a kid,we dirt jumped and mountain biked on the local trails a lot, which was immensely fun.

> For most of human history, young men at 15 were fighting wars.

Are you saying most 15 yr olds were fighting wars? Or that there might have been one or two somewhere that therefore makes your statement nominally correct?

What is your source and data? I'd like to review it. Thanks.
> If he literally created the universe and all the laws of nature, couldn’t he create such a concept?

That would imply that there are two things: God, and this creation of his "the ability to can't", but since God is just "one" this entire concept can not be attributed to him.

You can read about "Negative theology" if you are really interested in this topic.

> I think this shows that the concept of omnipotence is itself logically incoherent. It’s the theological equivalent of Russell’s set of all sets that do not contain themselves.

That's not a new idea, wikipedia has: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omnipotence_paradox

The subsection "Paradox is meaningless: the question is sophistry" covers it about as well as I could in a comment here.

I'm disappointed that MCAS is still being made primarily about stall avoidance and the idea that a stall means good chance (let alone certain chance) of a crash. A pilot is required to understand and demostrate competency in approach to stall, full stall, and stall recovery for category/class rating and also for type rating.

The purpose of MCAS is to moderate the pitch up due to the aerodynamic lift the new nacelles produce in high angles of attack. But it did so with such aggression that it made it possible, perhaps even likely, that it would result in sufficient mistrim and high airspeed as to make it difficult to correct in a low altitude scenario until it was too late. It was a one size fits all correction, and it was abrupt, regardless of airspeed, which is rather significantly a problem at high airspeeds that would cause a problem even if high angle of attack were true.

The graphic also ignores that MCAS accepts absurd angle of attack values as actionable. In the Ethiopian Airlines case, 75 degrees is a nonsense value, there's no point in correcting for it.

In effect, they made it both too simple, and deadly.
It's always disappointing to see comments like this on HN. We sometimes get engineers on here who wrongly believe that just because they're good at coding (or whatever) they must be experts on anything, even when they have minimal knowledge of the actual problem domain. You obviously haven't read through all the HL7 standards.

The core HL7 standards only touch on security tangentially. The primary focus is on message and document formats for clinical and administrative interoperability. The whole reason that HL7 exists as a standards development organization is precisely because private industry and hospitals (plus other stakeholders) formed it to have a governance body for working on this stuff. It's literally impossible to figure out data formats on an ad-hoc basis with more than a few participants. Never mind the legal antitrust and IP issues.

Engineers have certainly not already solved data systems interoperability in the general case. Every major industry has its own standards bodies. In health IT especially the engineers usually lack the domain knowledge to make good decisions on their own; the administrators and clinicians have to be involved on an equal footing.

Instead of just complaining, if you have actual good ideas to suggest then create a formal change request for the applicable standard. The process is completely open and contributions are welcome.

If this is meant for web sites, I have a question and I ask this on HN a lot. Why does the government need to provide ANY fonts? I have a real problem with websites pushing their own fonts on users. I don't think it's their place. Users should select their preferred font in their own browser. Why would a US government site feel the need to use particular fonts?

If this is for publishing in .pdf format I can understand. If it's for web, I just don't get it.

While the limited lifespan of electrolytics is well known, I'm very curious as to the lifespan of the humble yet ubiquitous 0.1uF ceramic disc capacitor. There must be billions of these little buggers in digital electronics, and I've never seen one go bad from age.

This site claims "For X7R and X5R the loss is calculated at -2.5% per decade hour and for Y5V it is -7% per decade hour." https://www.johansondielectrics.com/ceramic-capacitor-aging-... but that seems very pessimistic.

Interestingly, they also claim the ageing of ceramic caps can be reset by baking them at 150C for a couple of hours. Many electronics board could survive this, which seems to imply that a digital board which used exclusively ceramic caps could in theory last ~forever (> 1 human lifetime).

Yes housing is super expensive, but owning a house in a SF is not going to be cheap, it is a large city with people making very high wages.

I make half of that $300k, and I am living SUPER COMFORTABLY. Even if we consider the difference in housing cost, the person in the article is simply blowing through cash. It seems like they have zero understanding of what saving is. They are trying to live as someone wealthy.

This article perfectly describes someone "living beyond their means".
Nah, why insecure?
Just pointing out that for the most part this article was talking in universal terms while describing a strictly American market.
The international players mentioned export their cultural products, of course, but the interactions described were strictly American.
It’s a typical U.S. bias which can be a bit annoying to witness outside of the U.S. bubble. Not a single time the adjective American was used to describe the distinctively local market the article was analyzing.
12-year-olds stick people up. Young teenagers don't have fully-developed brains; it's probably "easier" for them to do this stuff, not harder. I have a hard time with the idea that you really think someone stops being a "kid" just because they commit a crime.

Recruiting a 15-year-old to fight in an armed conflict, by the way, is an action that has a name: "war crime".
Thankfully iOS Safari completely ignores this. I would hate it if websites could mess with my selection color.
> For most of human history, young men at 15 were fighting wars. If you’re old enough to rob someone with a gun, you’re not a “kid.”

The hormonal peaks and incompletely developed executive function that made male adolescents excellent pawns in violent policy (and also contributes to their engagement in violent crime, often as similar pawns) is exactly part of them substantively being a kid.

As we've worked on Hubs at Mozilla it's beginning to feel like we're one of what will become several key mechanisms for introducing avatar embodiment into our lives. There are a number of trends (VR, gaming, etc) pointing in this direction so it seems like wrangling with the moral questions around remote embodiment will become more and more prevalent.
Yeah for "most of human history" you were lucky to live past 20 or 30... Of course people approaching their later years were fighting wars. :P
They do develop it on GitHub, which I would consider to be a stronger statement than font choice.
Sort of like the way HN implements it. Grey or something off white tends to be easier on the eyes than pure white.

Reflective media like paper behave a little differently than emissive media like an LCD. A normal sheet of paper under normal lighting conditions won't reach the same brightness as an LCD. An LCD is much bigger than any reasonable book and it emits light uniformly across it's entire area (close to impossible for any piece of paper unless it's affixed on a flat plate). Also most paper is not actually very white.
Just to distinguish Monzo from all other banks: "I recorded a little video of me holding my passport and a scan of it, and that was sufficient ID for them to give me a new account." Everything else is standard for all banks in the UK.
The problem I had with implementing subscriptions with Stripe is that the batches of messages from the webhook could come back in clumps in random order. So they would have references to objects that I hadn't been notified about their creation yet.

Theoretically and rarely a webhook could fail and be retransmitted arbitrarily later due to bad weather on the internet, so you have to be able to tolerate that, but practically and often it sent bunches of messages all at effectively the same time, which caused them to be processed by my web server in random order.

I finally gave up trying to structure the code so it could create objects in any order, and deal with objects it hadn't heard about yet, and just treated the webhook callback as a sign that I should soon make a request back to Stripe and ask them for ALL the events that had transpired.

So I'd log all the information in the webhook just for chuckles, then schedule a task that polled Stripe for batches of events, and dealt with them all at once without anything slipping through the cracks because of random reordering in transit.

For much of it, I don't think it is too strong a term. I think most Dark Patterns can be accurately described as abusive. There are Games that are specifically designed to irritate people into spending more money than they intended.

There are layers, Some of it is ignorance, some of it is willful ignorance, the worst of it is deliberate and focused.

And for whatever reason everyone bought the rhetoric that you could save so much money by moving your stuff to these services in the "cloud" though there is no clear reason to think that this is true.

I agree with this sentiment. Edge was an extremely fast browser and I think it lost before it was even released simply by using similar branding to Explorer.
I tried with quotes and it doesn't show up, ironically. It must be without quotes.

It forced my to solve a bunch of CAPTCHAS too.
Making browser cross-platform gives a bigger user base and instills confidence in developers to take a browser into consideration when designing websites, which in turn popularizes the browser as sites work properly.
There may be some miscommunication. I never used Tinder --because it's a shallow hookup app and I'm not interested in that... and come to think of it it may not even have existed at the time-- I was on OKC which lacked a "swipe-right" concept.

Yes, because the reality is I just can't stand emoji-laden text communication or single letter representations of words. Many of the women I messaged had said something similar in their profiles. If someone is going to be bothered by that then it was never going to work anyway.

I assume you know what a risk factor is and how it is established. I also assume you know what association is, and what it does and does not mean. Should I also mention epidemiology and observational studies?

It must be clear to you, then, that nothing points to a mechanistic or causal relationship between high LDL in the blood and CVD. LDL does participate in the formation of atheroma (albeit in an altered state), but so do so many other molecules and cells. Do macrophages cause disease? Well, they must be there for it to develop, but they are an otherwise vital part of our bodies. Same goes for LDL.

As for the misinformation I am spreading, what are you afraid of? Do you think me saying LDL is not a predictor or cause of CVD (which, again, is true, and you know that) is going to cause harm to anyone? How so? By them gorging on butter? If you still believe saturated fat is bad, well...

This conversation is rather futile, and we both know it. Either way, I'm curious: what is a heart-healthy diet for you? Also, I would ask of you to please keep the fancy words for more relevant uses. I am not a native English speaker and I fear I might not understand some.
It isnt so much about the kid wearing the device as it as about the environment the kid is hanging around in. the idea of acoustic monitoring is a slippery slope, and is rife with zero days, also sounds like it could be dangerous to the wearer, to be somewhere, and have a government agent call up while a bunch of thugs are present, thugs who now know that kid has a monitor, that a] records a GPS track b] has a microphone that heard what they were saying c] has been recording everything for how long? d] the kids a rat, punish him!

15 year olds are not, and never have been, "children." They're adolescents. We have long recognized that people of that age are distinct from both children and adults in that they're capable of a wide variety of (often destructive) adult behaviors, but aren't put together enough to be fully accountable for that. That's fine--that's why the law tackles culpability for adolescents on a case-by-case basis.

Calling them "children" is both inaccurate, and a rhetorically sneaky way to mitigate culpability, responsibility, and agency. Controlling adolescents is one of society's most important functions, precisely because of the mismatch between destructive potential and impulse control. Society thus expects adolescents to control their behavior. It might give them more leeway in that regard, but they are not (and should not be) treated like children, who generally are held harmless for their misconduct.

Neither do old teenagers; executive function isn't fully developed, IIRC, until the early-to-mid 20s.
There aren't a lot of activities a person could, theoretically, engage in in public view without getting in some kind of trouble, that look as gross as staring at a screen alone. Any time I catch a glimpse of myself doing it, in a mirror in a video or whatever, I cringe. There's something really icky about it.

The key seems to be catching a view of someone at a computer or in front of a TV or whatever but not also being able to see what's on the screen. It's chilling and creepy for reasons I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it is just the "zombie" factor, I dunno.

A latte for 2 at Starbucks every day + the occasional croissant: $400.

Sponsored lunch at work for 2 during the week at $7 per: $300.

With the remaining $1000, you still need to cover breakfast every day and evening dinner for a family of 4.

You don't need to eat out at a fancy place twice a day to get there at all.

Israeli property tax is different than in the US. In the US, property taxes are levied upon property owners, but in Israel, property taxes are levied directly upon residents - owners who are landlords pay no property tax in Israel so long as tenants are paying the tax. The advantage of the Israeli system is that it allows the government to offer steep discounts on property rent to protected classes, i.e. senior citizens who get a 75% discount on their property taxes because nobody wants to kick Grandma and Grandpa out of their homes, offering steep tax discounts to low-income tenants, etc.

In such an environment, switching to a land value tax is regressive.

The thing that sets video games (and social media) apart from these other things that you mention is that they are far more updatable, and not surprisingly this attribute is taken advantage of for good and for ill. The ill of course being that they are able to be updated in such a way that they hack your attention / biology ever more efficiently over time. This doesn't happen with chess, reading, or running. At least, not without these activities becoming intermediated by updatable technology. Which IS happening, but still, not as much.
