Homelessness might evaporate over night if just a small fraction of home dwellers opened their doors to those in need; but there's good reason why doing so is prohibitively untenable, and the solutions are more complicated than simply making a bed or couch available.

I don't think it's fair to claim that that who don't volunteer are virtue signaling slacktivists; they may simply believe the solutions must come from larger institutions than individual action.

> Throwing stuff away was the normal way of life before modern civilization arrived

What? Absolutely not. Things were precious and labor was cheap back in the day.

Anything that could be repaired was. Ever heard of "darning socks"? Yeah - no one would do that today, but it was common 100 years ago.

> just like defecating wherever you find convenient

Lol.

People found out pretty quickly that you have to give a crap about where you give a crap or people get sick and die. This is 2000 BC social technology.

> The wonder of modern civilization gave us so much power to produce stuff that it's no longer feasible to just "throw away" stuff we don't need.

BS.

The earth is big. Really big. Stupendously big. Conceptually it's trivial to make a landfill large enough for anything we will make in the next 100 years with space left over.

We don't do this because it's cheaper to have small landfills closer to cities, but that's an economic limitation, not a technical one.

Free yes but they come with an energy tag on it. (backup and redundant systems etc). I wonder how much energy it would take to store it like this compared a local hard drive and simple PC or Raspi.
I've always wondered why the camera sticks out in the more recent iPhones. Do they hedge bets that people will put a case on? Without a case, it bothers me that it can't lay flat on a table, desk, etc...
Yeah, that had occured to me. It just didn't really seem pertinent to this particular discussion. It struck me as a tangent, so I opted to not get into it.
People are throwing around the terms "clever" and "enterprising" but it was just fake credit cards and joy riding.
They also don't necessarily correlate correctly with behavior. If you actively avoid debt, for instance, you are essentially penalized with regard to credit score.
There was a cool article I saw quite a while ago where a father of 2 and sole provider for his family found that it was next to impossible to survive comfortably in London on half a million GBP per year. He went through all the numbers and showed how it just couldn't be done. Of course he was making 10x what would be considered a good wage in London. It wasn't his salary, it was his minimum standard that was out of whack. The best part of the article was that it wasn't dead pan humour -- he was just clueless.

There is a certain minimum amount of money you need to be comfortable. How much money that is depends a lot on where you live, but it also depends a lot on your values. There isn't one point where you can choose to be free -- there are several and some of them are surprisingly low, monetarily. Most people choose not to be free. It's very interesting.
Now here's a twist: Is that measured using the standard WPM tests (based on English sentences/paragraphs), or code like http://www.speedcoder.net/ ?

I find that it's pretty good.
No, the real progress has been stalled by low fuel prices. Most people would only buy EV (or Hybrids) if they could see a clear short term lower cost. The current high upfront cost of EVs completely outweighs the longer term savings (or other less tangible benefits) for most people. Hybrids were a good bridge solution with only a small incremental cost and significant savings but they are currently not in vogue with people who want something even more efficient, and the gas prices are so low as to be almost incidental to many buyers.
So, I was sort of expecting this article to use recursion instead of a regular loop, but it was not to be, as the author went ahead and used a for-loop anyway and abstracted a bit of logic into a separate function. Silly premise overall.

You Do Not Have to Be a Rocket Scientist to Know How to Increase Ejaculation Volume

To increase ejaculation volume, it is important to have the various muscle groups in the penile area in good working order. The Ejaculatory ducts, the prostate gland, the seminal vessels and the testicles all play their part when there is sexual arousal. When there is blood flow to the penis, the oxygen remains engorged there and this makes the member hard and increases the length so that he is able to perform with longer duration. Men require imbibing the right nutrients, especially when their waning HGH begins to show signs of depleting.

Male enhancement products that help to increase ejaculation volume and make the penis hard and firm are available ad nauseum and can be ordered directly online. You can save on huge medical bills and commuting time as all information is available on their websites. Semenax is a safe and natural supplement manufactured in North America where they have taken care to source out safe and natural herbs from different parts of Europe, China and South America. Herbs like Catuaba Bark, Muira Puama, Cranberry extract, Sarsaparilla are noted for their properties and have been used in medicine for ages.

Most of these herbs aim at increasing the testosterone levels and strengthening the various muscle groups. There are reports which indicate that supplements could stave off the aging process by making men look and feel younger by taking a course of supplements along with a proper regimen of exercise and diet. Amino acids are combined with the herbs to bring out the best properties that can help men increase ejaculation volume.https://supplementdevotee.com/red-fortera-review/
Just live your life. It goes away with life experience. By getting what you want, you realize it's not what you really want.

By this process of slow elimination, your desires become far less about having more things (envy aka someone is better is about them having more things), and far more about having more time, to go for a walk, to play with your kids, to read a book.

It's hard to be envious of someone going for a walk in the park :)

Western society has a masterful advertising and marketing machine that makes most people feel inadequate about things that make no sense, like a car somebody drives, or a suit they wear, or a number in their bank account?! As if those things are worth missing a kids' birthday party for! They're only worth anything because other sleepwalkers will give you props for them. Comparing yourself to others goes away by the time you're 30 or 40 - you just cease giving a shit, mostly due to being worn out and with that, advertising no longer works on you, much.

Anyhoo, it goes away on its own as you get that girl, get that car, get that job, and realize it's not it. What a hoot :)
I was pointing out that your interpretation of the GP was IMO uncharitable given how you interpreted breadth and structure of reddit. You deny seeing "the outrage", but you've now had multiple people point you to instances of where it concentrates and appears. Perhaps your own personal experiences on the internet aren't representative.

Maybe an hour long video essay will explain the concept and convince you of its existence a little bit better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36nsq2Apods
I think once someone has carved out a place for themselves, it seems like it’s something to be attained, like it exists as a thing to envy or a “place”to be. But you are only ever seeing a distinct part of a longer, more complex story, the small part you envy. You see your own path more realistically—as the longer story it actually is. You remember its aspirational beginnings and mundane points along the way. It has its high and low points too.

It’s natural for everyone to want to be at a high point when they’re struggling to get somewhere. And then when someone’s at a really high point, it doesn’t necessarily feel that way to them. “Success” usually feels more like success to its far off audience and often more like work to the person supposedly “enjoying” it.

Focus on finding the joy/inspiration/thrill in what you are doing now. Because it isn’t the wild success that will quell these feelings of envy. The envy is more of a sign that you should be doing something you actually love doing! If you were, you’d be thinking about your own stuff and what cool thing to do with it next, instead of what someone else is accomplishing. If you can’t find the joy in your current thing, then work on what you are truly compelled by. If you are in that zone, you will never envy anyone else, because you will be far too absorbed in doing what you deeply love doing.

Cliff Notes: Learn Math, I didn't, but still can do dev work, but I really regret it.

I know almost nothing, really. I stopped taking math classes around 16/17 years old, I just wasn't able to grasp it and gave up.

Double majored at Uni in CS & Geography which allowed me to pass over all the mathematical CS courses. If you can't substitute out the math heavy papers with papers from another course, over your whole `X` years studying, then you better upskill as best as you can or it will be tough going.

But here I am in a dev job, that I got because it's hard to find geographers who can code, with my biggest regret being that I did not get enough of a mathematical understanding earlier on. It is such a useful and universal skill, it is a pity not to be confident in applying it. But the best thing is that if you work with a solid team you will have people around you to fill in your weaknesses, and you can fill in theirs.

You can get by without it, if you find a niche you can specialize in where coders are hard to come by, but you will find yourself really needing it and having to pass work on to someone else or finding some library.
I don't think it'll never fly again.

At worse, they'll have to have a separate type-rating and require pilots to go through further training to fly it.

The whole idea behind the plane was to skip full training and be qualified with a short hour long tablet training session.

That cost saving measure has now passed, so rather than scrapping the Max all together, pilots will just need the further training.
I think that 10x engineer streotype is ridiculous but the backslash in the Twitter is also discouraging. Most of the responses in the Twitter reject that 10x engineers exist. Some even go far like creating this website: http://10x.engineer/

But there are people like Linus Torvalds, Fabrice Bellard.

I think we need to hit the right balance. We don't want to worship 10x engineers but we don't want to limit the potential of the engineers by saying 10x engineers don't exist.
Where is the DAG scheduler in the source? About to take a look. Interested in labeling thunks with file size and CPU time then feeding into a solver I am writing to optimize cost within a runtime budget.
That is the case, and a bit of quick googling suggests to a greater degree than I expected (depending on film and optics I saw estimated ranges of MF being able to resolve the equivalent of 80 to as much as 150 megapixels! I guess it makes sense that modern medium-format digital backs are often in that kind of range).

If a digital SLR and a light table can get you enough resolution for what you want to use the images for though, that's fine. You could use that for most of your images and then get the ones you want to print really large professionally scanned later.
I love the perspective this gives you. You watch for a few minutes and remember how many things are going on outside of your own little world.

The "background checks" were probably excluding a lot of low-hanging fruit, like attempts at creating accounts in fake names with stolen credit card details.
Slapping "recyclable" on the product also reduces guilt in buyers with some conscience, therefore it is a winning marketing strategy.

> That's because they think the same things

It’s mostly because this type of worldview filters everything through the lens of power and when viewed through this context the way to ‘fix’ it is by tipping the scales culturally by not acknowledging the things that may cause a stigma and prevent ‘access’ to resources and jobs.

So it’s probably less about what they believe to be true vs they think it’s not helpful to say it out loud.

Your zip code and the zip code of said transactions play a role in fraud.

Credit score likewise plays a role.

There are many many attributes taken into account when discussing fraud. Some models use methods which take in all attributes. There’s many kinds of fraud as well, some of which will be impacted by credit score (for instance if you have more credit, and use your credit card more often, you’re more likely to be a target for a “hacker”. This means fraud will be more likely to occur on your account).

For reference: I’ve built fraud detection models being used at banks.

> In Europe, there are fears that the continent is following the path of Japan’s so-called lost decade, where policy makers struggled to revive anemic growth and inflation. ...

That decade was the 1990s, and Japan has never managed to stimulate significant consumer inflation since, despite massive deficit spending and outright publicly-announced purchases of stocks by the central bank.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lost_Decade_(Japan)

One question this article doesn't address is how long this funhouse hall of mirrors continues.

Judging by worldwide investment appetite for negative-yielding, long dated bonds, and the example from Japan and now Europe, the answer seems to be much longer than what might seem reasonable today.

All the Hackathons I see are sponsored by some corporation trying to exploit devs for some free work/ideas related to their business/api.

The only exception are Game Jams. If hackathons were like Game Jams where you could use any tech you wanted but had to compete on a vague theme I’d be interested. The thing is that’s never the case. Private spaces cost money, prizes cost money, any sponsors are going to want a return on their investment. So that’s why Hackathons suck. IMO it has nothing to do with the food or long hours.

The disease is generally caused by the destruction Nutonen Review of damage because of the body's own immunity system or some other factor that destructs the beta cells located in the pancreas. The body is unable to produce insulin and glucose starts to pile up in the cells.

Insulin then has to be provided artificially.

Signs of Juvenile DiabetesIt is never easy to recognize the signs of diabetes specifically in children. It is important to have enough information about the signs of diabetes especially if your child is at increased risk of juvenile diabetes because of family history.

Given the scale, I would suspect a ring of professional criminals more than people with low credit scores from "bad neighborhoods".

This is Hacker News, after all. This is a system and someone hacked it.

"In several cases, hackers with lists of email addresses and passwords have written scripts to locate car-sharing accounts using those credentials. Once they find the accounts, they sign out cars and disable their GPS trackers, causing them effectively to disappear."

This does not sound like it's related to businesses going to certain neighborhoods due to demographics. It sounds like smart thieves took advantage of your biases and drove to certain neighborhoods in order to get you to suspect an Other of their crimes. That's sure what I would do
> That's not cognitive dissonance. That's learning and growing.

This is committing the straw-man fallacy. The poster that this is responding to did not elaborate on what cognitive-dissonance they are referring to.

In this case "learning and growing" is an optimistic, ego-stroking spin on "admitting defeat". I believe that AndrewKemendo has chosen his words carefully because being able to lose and fail graciously is more virtuous than trying to preserve the ego and pretend that it was a win.
Really its the same kind of thing as teaching people to "run the code in their heads" when trying to debug -- an extremely primitive yet necessary skill... but not a utility interesting enough to bother running by HN IMO
Well, you can spend a little time putting some anti-bot measures into place, or you can spend money paying a larger hosting bill for all the wasted CPU time, or you can spend some time explaining to legitimate users why the site fell over under the unwanted load.

Sure but a lot of people still believe drugs should be illegal and it’s still a big cultural taboo in many parts of the world. Only recently in the west has that started to shift over 50% for pot. Other ones are much farther behind.

That has a big effect on the system as a whole. I still think the agencies and policy directly influences people’s opinion. They constantly hear about drug dealers getting arrested so they associate it immediately as bad people engaged in bad things.

So it does have a cyclical effect but not just for financial or rent-seeking reasons. Which exists but I suspect has a smaller role than you think.

> How removed from race does information have to be in order to be considered by a financial firm?

In general, the standard is "disparate impact"--if you accepted 80% of all white applicants but only 20% of black applicants, then you're probably liable for racial discrimination even if you were completely race-blind.
It typically becomes rather "challenging" to justify to management why one shouldn't scrape "aggressively" until the competitor's site degrades or falls over. That's why it's generally kind of sleazy.
