That's about what I was getting at. You also get authority figures that are inconsistent and tyrannical, the wonders of bureaucracy, and extreme limitations of personal liberty. You get to learn how to deal with stupid and illogical people, bullies, and all the other elements of the vast canvas of personality types.

It's great training, and not to be discounted. But having a haven of stability in the home is an essential counterbalance.
Ask HN: Mobile Business Without an App?
Apple’s 30% platform fee seriously impacts the unit economics of any media/content play. I’m considering a new mobile content business and am considering if it’s possible/viable/sustainable to create a mobile-first startup without having an app on either iOS or Android. If assuming all primary app features are possible through the browser can I create a better business in the long run without an app?
And in fact, the Guardian published a blatently false story about Manafort holding "secret talks" with Assange, which they incredibly have still not retracted, despite literally zero evidence to back up this extraordinary claim.

Eating vegetarian isn't entirely based on saving the planet/environmental issues. Think of it this way, if we could make it so eating meat had 0 environmental impact and eating vegetarian/vegan had 0 environmental impact would there still be major reasons to be vegetarian/vegan?

I'd say the main reasons for being vegetarian include not wanting to contribute to raising animals just to slaughter them, or eating other "living" beings and objecting to the conditions in which they are raised before they are slaughtered.

Paying extra for the Impossible brand name is mainly for those wanting to switch from meat yet still yearning for the texture/taste of meat. A brand like Impossible foods ensuring consistency across restaurants would contribute to people choosing to switch from meat knowing they are getting a product they have had (and enjoyed?) before.
Yet funnier: the headline is ambiguous at the grammatical level, but the meaning is not ambiguous! In both interpretations, you have the exact same situation of people flying drones illegally while drunk in japan.

One of the biggest and more interesting difference is that the US government wants to keep these things secret and investigative reporting finds them.

In China, they want this information public because they want people to know that they know and self regulate - Panopticon.

The cynic in me looks at the US as a country controlled by companies while China is a country that controls companies. I don't know if it makes that much of a difference any more now that companies are almost the same size as countries.

It's probably because of the work culture. Many people won't leave work at the end of the day until the boss leaves.
That doesn't sound very convincing - after all people didn't starve before Russia had modern farming equipment. Something else must have changed. The invention of modern farming equipment is unlikely to have caused existing farming methods to become less effective.

Also, it seems unlikely to me that Soviet planning relied on buying farming equipment from the USA. Weren't they rather too proud for that?

Did the USA also deny to sell them food?

Edit, since YC doesn't allow me to write more comments: yeah ok maybe people were starving before that, the point was, the US did not cause that. Maybe their superior technology could have helped, but that is not the same as blaming them for causing the famine. If the US hadn't invented those machines, Russians would have starved all the same, and there would have been no US to blame for it. That is what I meant.

As for trade embargoes, I am not a fan. But I can also not blame the US for wanting to curb the spread of communism, which is decidedly not a harmless ideology. So I guess trade embargoes tend to be a first step, preferred to actual war.

Also not convinced that communists would have loved to trade. Wasn't everything Western frowned upon? You could get into jail for listening to Jazz music? That doesn't sound very open minded to me, and not a good basis for trade. I think they wanted to show that they could do better than capitalism, and to rely on capitalist products would have been an admittance of failure.

Thinking globally, which working arrangement allows me to save the most in 1yr
My goal is simple: Save the most money possible in 2020, and concentrate on doing meaningful work for myself in 2021.

In your experience, which kind of working arrangement, tax regime, etc is the most efficient at building up savings? I can relocate anywhere i wish, no limits whatsoever.

Freelancing is game, being employed is game, but working remote is not, because high pay remote work is extremely difficult to come around and I've never seen it in practice.

Out of the box solutions with tax residency in one country but work in another are also encouraged, as long as IT work exists in that region :)

I don't want to cut back massively on my lifestyle. Here in the Netherlands i live in a nice studio, and have a burnrate of about 3k/eur/mo . I tend to live rather frugally. No massive expenses.

I'm a software consultant. I build stuff, frontends, backends, doesn't really matter what.

I currently reside in the Netherlands, where expats like myself got a 30% tax break on their yearly gross, but I've lost that privilege now. Time to move on...
I have EU and US citizenships, so the world is my oyster.

I'm wondering what my next step should be.
Can you set up Alipay with a non-Chinese bank account or card?

It works great for Chinese people and foreign residents of the PRC who have a bank account. However, my experience as a tourist was that it was impossible to link my US credit card using the PRC version of the app downloaded while in China.
> I've come to believe that most governments are inept when it comes to the management, security and general quality of their software.

They are very well aware of it, so they do outsourcing to pro-CCP companies, e.g. Hikvision, Face++.
We hat payments used to require a Chinese bank account, so we're essentially inaccessible to foreigners. This is secondhand knowledge, I've never used it, but I have heard this has changed. Perhaps since the account was created while this restriction was in place, the option was never enabled?
Yes. Isn't that something that ultimately the courts will have to decide?
Absolutely! LM already has know-how so its a matter of time before it will become an option on their other crafts.

Another buddy of mine (doesn't work on the project but still connected inside LM enough) said that when management seen military officials defending overblown F35 budget they felt actually they sky is wide open to further abuse of $$ and spent shitload of money and time to design and overdesign that helmet.

Eventually you will see it everywhere where it make sense, be it Coast Guard, heck - your local crane operator. But it will take 10 years before LM will makeup the money they "lost" developing it, so it will take time. But F35 will eventually fly without it, no doubt.
Those A-10s were complete mission kills, even if they saved the pilot's life and were able to rtb.

The A10 was designed solely as a tank killer, and was obsolete before it was fielded as the USSR upgraded their tank armor to defeat its gun.

It has never been able to operate in anything other than an environment where we enjoy complete air superiority and near complete ground control. It has never had AAA or SAMs, as targets -- it cannot operate in anything other than a completely permissive environment in that regard. This is not a mystery, it's well known. It was designed to strafe long lines of tanks, was never good at it, and has been obsolete since before it was fielded.
They could if they ran a car onto the runway.
That is exactly right. I remember the kid who showed up to public high school after being homeschooled for K-8 seeming completely bewildered by typical patterns of teenage behavior. Thank god his parents did not decide to go all the way to grade 12.
Good point. I totally blanked on that when looking at this.

I disagree with that. I listened to my dad growing up because I respect him and think he is a good person. I probably would have gotten into more things if that hadn’t been the case.

SwiftUI and Catalyst: Apple executes its invisible transition strategy
Not the OP, but I'll chip in with my $.02. I really want to like Firefox, but everything UI feels wrong (on macOS). From tabs, where the close button is on the wrong side (right) and if you click the + button to open a new tab the cursor ends up over the new tab, not over the + button so you can click again to open a new tab. The whole UI looks and feels non-native. Pressing ESC in full screen mode does not bring the window back to its original size. In-page search opens a clunky (javascript?) search field in the bottom status bar. Firefox does not support proper macOS dark-mode (try cmd-O). Cannot print to PDF. (Magic mouse) gestures does not work. No automatic keychain integration for login forms. Fonts are rendered different than in Chrome and Safari, e.g. thin fonts are tick and font's in general look more ugly (something with antialiasing?). The list goes on and on. Basically Firefox feels like browser version of Slack.
From your first link: "Inside EXACTO bullets are optical guidance systems, aero-actuation controls, and multiple sensors"

Of course that could all be a lie to throw adversaries off the scent, but the trouble with trying to keep a bullet top-secret is the moment you use it, the enemy has as many as they want to study...
No one has ever thought the F14 was a better fighter than the F18. The F14 was an interceptor designed for long range fleet defense, not air to air combat.

The JSF has longer legs than both as I recall.
We have some family friends that are decent people, but lousy parents.

After about 16 years of observation two of their kids have graduated (one with honors) and the older they get, the more decent they have become, very similar to their parents.

What I learned: Kids will turn out like their parents. And poorly skilled parents can still raise decent and well behaved kids.

Who you are and how you treat people is more important than technical skills to get your kids to behave.

I think it would be tough to find a suitable definition of "meaningful". When searching for an element in an ordered list, how many items are meaningful? One if it's present, zero otherwise? Always log(n)? Always n?

If "meaningful" is a non-trivial property, as difficult to determine as an algorithmic lower bound, then it's not terribly useful.

And it also leaves us with no way to talk about non-constant time algorithms for determining whether a number is odd. Can we say one runs in exponential time when we only talk about "meaningful" bits of input?
You can release that information and still redact the names of private individuals that are informants/spies so that you aren't signing their gruesome death sentence at the hands of the 'enemy'...
Corporations do "whatever the fuck they want" as well, at the expense of our environment and to make themselves a few percent richer. It's a successful tactic and I support the use of it against them.
This seems like a really strange position to fight over. OP is mainly complaining about the constant flux of the spec. At the time were KHTML was being implemented there weren't new features being released every week like we have now. In every aspect of the browser.

As a single developer it is impossible to implement a browser that is compatible with today's websites.

When I type “n”, I’m likely either going to news.google.com or HN. Firefox will guess correctly that I’m thinking of HN and fills that in as the URL. However, the main HN URL and Google News are something like 8 and 9 in the list. Everything above those two is a mix of things that happen to have an “n” somewhere in the URL that I may have recently visited.
That’s a nice and (irrelevant) statistic. No one targets a “global” audience with a website. If I’m targeting North America, Europe, or Japan, why do I care that a billion people in India use Android phones? Even in countries where iOS is a sliver of the overall population like China and India, if you want to reach the affluent population, you still need to target iOS users.

How fast do you think someone creating a website in the US will get fired if they said they are going to ignore iOS users because iOS is only 15% of the global market?

If iOS didn’t matter do you think Google would be paying Apple a reported $9 billion a year to be the default search engine?

It isn't that kind of show.

But you're right, the biggest thing was consistency. The kids were being given "timeouts" but if they moved out of them or cried the parents simply gave up. She essentially had the parents follow through and be consistent. Ditto with bedtime routines and similar. The name wasn't meant to be significant.

It is "reality TV" but the core of her method is pretty old school and simple. I actually WOULD recommend watching it (particularly the UK version, US one has janky editing) if you can find it. Except for the dumb voice-overs it was a pretty straight forward/to the point show that simply repeated the same basic concepts with different families.

I agree with this and the rest of your comment. You said it better than I did at the top level. There's something about food imitating food that puts me off, as is there with seeing branding on items at restaurants; but, I don't have problem going an entire week without eating meat in the first place. These products have a target audience and a good mission, but they're not for me (well, I'd get them in the grocery store when available because I like having a frozen veggie burger option at home for when I'm too lazy to cook).

Ok so if the only goal of the war on drugs is to arrest people then it's working splendidly. Increasing crime is part of the package rather than an unfortunate side effect because it lets you justify even more arrests. Since the war on drugs does not have improving our society as a goal there is no argument other than racism that could possibly be in favor of it.

The addiction/dependence and public littering problems caused by drugs can be solved with prescribed low dosages which would be administered by a medical professional, not with a prison sentence.

With three kids (or even two!), any advice from someone with one comes off as at least as grating as advice from people with no kids did when I only had one.

All the time-consuming "just hang out with them and talk to them like humans! Hug them for ten minutes! Make them complex, healthy dishes for every meal! I do it and it all works so well! I mean I also have a night nanny and cleaning service but I won't mention that..." goes out the window when one kid's about to kill themselves with furniture, somehow, you're not sure where another snuck off to but you suspect the worst, the third's making some god-awful noise in the other room that you're pretty sure will end up being expensive one way or another (oh no... did they make that sound or did the dog?) and meanwhile if you take your eyes of this sauce for one second it's gonna burn and it'll be pizza night... again.

Yes it's not constantly like that but it's always kinda like that. I understand it gets better when they're older. And I've heard from multiple people with four or five that the difficulty levels off after three kids. Up to three it's certainly non-linear. When for some reason we're down to one it's about as easy as having zero, now. Yeah, I bet whatever crap you read about on the Internet works, one-kidder. F*cking anything would. One's nothing.
