>It's childish to feel challenged when someone else has a differing opinion.

I am not objecting to differing opinions, or confrontation. I am objecting to the combination of three specific things:

* An opinion expressed as fact

* which deprecates something

* under unusual circumstances which prevent supporters of the thing being deprecated from responding as they would otherwise be able to

This is clearly violating the rules of fair argument. It is very far from "everything", and I don't recall ever seeing it on HN before.
Whenever I need a managed hosting provider (admittedly pretty rare, I run most of my personal stuff off a Digital Ocean VPS, but I'm also very comfortable with linux/ops/security and don't mind managing these things myself), I always head to https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/ - these days they support a pretty varied collection of languages/frameworks, and they have a good combo of extremely transparent pricing, solid reliability, nice security features, and seemingly strong technical background.
Interesting - are you prone to claustrophobia? It sounds like what you experienced is similar to that, from what little I know about the condition.

Do you have the same response when wearing other kinds of goggles or face shield (say something like welder's goggles, or lab goggles, or a scuba mask, or a welder's hood - things like that)?

I don't think I've ever heard of this being reported, but it doesn't surprise me as a possibility, either. It may even be mentioned in the literature out there (while I have an extensive collection of literature and research papers on VR, I'm certain I don't have anywhere near all of it).

Thank you for responding about it.

Well sometimes you don't get to use the tech you want. I almost never get the use the tech I want on a project, It is normally chosen for me by someone else and I have to live with their decisions.

Your first statement is true in theory but is false in fact; that is to say, it is a lie the government tells. Your second statement is not true even in theory.

Last time this concept was popular I read the Wikipedia article on "Non-Accelerating Rate of Unemployment" NARU. This is the (lowish) level of unemployment that doesn't cause huge wage inflation. Folks were worried where that level was in the 90's.
Almost every use of the font is misuse. In all the supposedly correct uses for Comic Sans, the correct thing is to actually write by hand to create the true personal touch.

People hate the faked personal touch of a canned font that imitates writing which looks the same everywhere, letter for letter, no matter who produces the writing.

There is a middle ground: you can turn your own handwriting into a font.

Before the Internet if you wanted to sell things via mail or other remote method, money orders were a good way to pay for it. It doesn't carry the same consumer protections as credit cards or PayPal, and I'm sure it's not workable for things in the thousands of dollars, but it worked. I bought many things through mail order in the 90's with money orders before online shopping became ubiquitous and expected.

I saw you had been downvoted and I upvoted you, despite disagreeing very strongly with your opinion, because you stated your opinion without vitriol and while I might disagree I'll still fight for your right to say it as long you do so in a way that isn't hurtful.

I think the line of inquiry into replacement organs can be researched ethically but the how of the research may cross ethical lines if not done carefully. Given diseases we have, I think we need to do the research and find an ethical way to make this kind of organ production happen, if we want to extend human lifespan.
I've had excellent experience on DO for over 4 years now. Almost 0 downtime. DO is awesome!

Here are some that are not so great:

Here is one that nearly ruined my entire business:
Rimuhosting (there was an actual hardware issue with the VPS and every 5 requests, the server would go down and they couldn't fix it, it was really awful.)
> 10 to 30 minutes seems a lot closer to how long it takes for a stock sale to go through on E-Trade so I can see why the IRS would classify it more like a stock than currency.

weird analogy. stock sales take 3 business days to go through, and the proceeds take another 3 business days to be spendable in a different checking account at a different institution. the securities regulator is trying to get stock sales to get down to 2 and 1 business day.

brokers like e-trade hide most of this behind the scenes, and you can certainly "sell a stock" in a few seconds on etrade. So not sure why it takes you 10-30 minutes?
If there's a valid need for the distinction, and it's straightforward (<>s search system libs first vs quotes search CWD first IIRC), what would be less ugly? Keeping in mind the vast number of C++ files out there that have already baked this convention in :)
I of course use a card frequently, though have yet to have the "pleasure" of dealing with a tap-to-pay card. I don't really want to. I'd say average case (not best case) is they're about the same, but yes, getting out my phone and unlocking it, opening the bitcoin app, scanning the QR code and hitting confirm, then putting my phone away, is indeed often faster than getting out my wallet, picking out my card from the other crap in there, inserting it into the chip reader (or swiping it), and hitting confirm (after maybe having to enter a pin or zip code or tell it "this is a credit card" or dismiss a "do you want to donate to grocery store's cause-of-the-month?" dialog) and then sometimes having to sign a printout or a touch screen, then putting my card back into the wallet and putting my wallet away. CCs are a usability nightmare that I'm amazed we put up with.

Have you never reported fraudulent charges before? There's basically no investigation unless it was an ACH thing.

Go, get more feedback. Even some rough edges during the conference won't matter as that won't be seen usually.

The mistake almost all founders make is not getting enough exposure early and working on the specific feedback, there really is almost no such thing as too much exposure.

If I was you and the conference fees work with your budget I'd be there, in fact if it wasn't in the budget I'd be trying to find the money to make it work so I could go.

Interesting and the nice thing about him wanting to add JavaScript runner support is the JRE does have a JS engine you can embed into your apps.

The JS runner in Postman felt a little limited I couldnt for example figure out how to fetch a document.cookie from a response. It would be awesome if the JS runner can match the usefulness of the one from Postman in addition to being extendable like the rest of Milkman seems to be.

One thing I wish there was and maybe this project might be extensible towards is a JMS / better ActiveMQ / JMS client.

Fed interbank interest rates aren't the same thing as treasury bond interest rates. Yes, when money is cheap bonds become almost worthless, that can be seen in the market right now. However the cash party isn't for people buying bonds, it's for people with access to the inside track of low-interest money.
The article defines what it means by trust in this way.

> Trust, as defined by organizational scholars, is our willingness to be vulnerable to the actions of others because we believe they have good intentions and will behave well toward us.

By the definition, there are many circumstances where rational, selfish individuals can trust each other: when their interests align in a way that communicating honestly and working together is optimal for their own selfish profit.

So, there is room for trust. In addition, the game-theoretic space is large enough and the lack of global information is severe enough that it is not certain in many situations whether betraying trust is indeed the optimal decision in the long run.

Hence in many situations even in the most supposedly rational institutions there is a lot of leeway for its people to decide how the institution should communicate, and its strategy for profit.

On the other hand, the reality is that many institutions aren't rational at all but heavily embody the culture and motivations of its decision makers. You can even think of it rationally like this: letting X person make decisions, regardless of their irrationality, has Y and Z assets, and it is in the company's best interests to secure Y and Z assets by letting X make decisions.

In any case, I think that viewing institutions as rational machines optimizing for profit is hopelessly naive, and likewise for the conclusion.
I'm already on T-Mobile. I'm for this mostly because the Sprint network plugs some significant holes for me in places I travel, like northwest Iowa. When they put their cross-roaming agreement into effect earlier this year, I suddenly had coverage all along that corridor. Otherwise, I'm stuck with the extremely small data roaming allowance they provide.

No, and if you think he's making a trivially true comment then you're missing a subtler point. Anyone with a nice tattoo will lament the fact that it will fade, it will lose crisp lines, and it will look bad over time.

That's why for nice pieces touchups are necessary, but you have a limited number of those.

In addition to the consumer price index being on target, the producer price index is also at 2%[1]. In general low interest rates do mean higher prices for investments but when Amazon's market cap goes from a hundred billion to two hundred billion that doesn't mean that it has absorbed a hundred billion dollars from the economy. The buyers of the stock lose money but the sellers of the stock gain money and it isn't removed from the larger economy.

There are a bunch of websites that will help compile your crypto trades into the forms you need for your taxes. This year I used cointracker.io and it worked pretty good for me. It created a file that was easily imported into TurboTax. Also if you lost money on crypto you can claim some of that as a deduction.

Started by BankAmericard by Bank of America in CA only. They then franchised it to other banks in neighboring states, and eventually international banks (I believe under the BankAmericard brand, or under the other bank's brand). And then in the mid 1970s all the participating banks decided to rebrand under "VISA".
I am very interested in this kind of product.

Sorry, but for me tatooed body is ugly. I don't see any difference between tattoos and graffiti. There is no art in graffiti, not Banksy not anybody else. (Sorry, he is cool but I don't see a revolutionary art in Banksy. He is not even close to Basquiat or Warhol.)

There is no art or prettiness in tattoos.

In my collection of VR documents and software "artifacts" - I have a collection of QuickBasic 4.5 programs (source code) that this French team built (circa late 1990s IIRC) to generate various VRML models and "worlds" using code. I don't recall how abstracted it was, but I thought it unique enough to save it for my archive. I should really go through that collection and release it in some manner - I have tons of interesting stuff, much of which has disappeared from the web. Maybe an upload to archive.org would be in order...

I developed a layer for CVS that provides directory structure versioning, symbolic links and execute permissions. Plus more: branches with merge tracking workflow for repeated merges, and a grab command that imports snapshots, identifying renamed/moved files, with symlink tracking.

That was 17 years ago.

Worth pointing out that Scaleway only has servers in Europe. Paris and Amsterdam to be specific.

I'm American, but I've been using Scaleway for a few months, and latency aside, I've had zero problems as well and they're one of the only hosting providers I'm aware of that has ARM64 based VPS. Amazon recently announced ARM EC2 instances, but even their cheapest offering is weaker and significantly more expensive than Scaleways.
I'm pretty sure they can't disclaim that kind of thing, certainly not if you're charging Apple prices. If you live in a country with actual consumer protection laws of course.
> where it's a super-useful ultra-flexible slider/picker that works far better than a trackpad or mouse for that purpose.

You know what else does that? A touch screen. Apple seems to be okay with it for the phones/pads. It would also be cheaper (since it's just an overlay on the glass). And the touch area would be the size of the screen that you're looking at, rather than a narrow strip you have to shift your eyes to.
Full employment is "the condition in which virtually all who are able and willing to work are employed."

Arguably, because the commonly cited U3 unemployment rate is the percentage of people who are able to and actively looking for work and unable to find it, any unemployment rate above zero means that you're not at full employment.

That said, because even in the "best" economies that we've ever actually experienced there is always at least some level of job loss and it's always going to take at least some amount of time to find a new job, many people / economists tend to view full employment as something more like "the lowest level that we can realistically expect unemployment to reach given some unavoidable level of job churn". This is why you see statements like "4% unemployment is full employment".

Personally, I don't agree with this redefinition because I think it is at least _theoretically_ possible to get to a state where those who lose their jobs due to layoffs etc. are employed again extremely rapidly and the rate ends up being much closer to zero.
I'm not sure what would be worse for world peace, USD hyperinflation or a treasury default.

You are correct. I do care about downvoting, but only because I think it is important to have people downvoting things you say, otherwise you are living a safe and boring life. I stand corrected (but I'm not sure that is what you mean by "contradicting the parenthetical").

You are someone that cares about data and trends of data. One time happening is not evidence nor a trend. But, I'm wondering if others have seen similar things. The example I cited here seemed like a very quick reaction (which is possible, people on all sides do that with Trump...). But, if it happens often, especially about certain topics, wouldn't that be interesting?
Hi, I'm the designer of Comic Code. I just wanted to join the discussion here, just because it looked fun. I know I released a Comic Sans variant, and I'm totally okay with the negative reaction; in fact it puts a big smile on my face. A world where everyone loves Comic Sans sounds wrong, doesn't it?.

I used to hate Comic Sans but it's still an interesting typeface that teaches you a lot about typography. Comic Sans can be a great choice depending on the context, and I want to share my personal favourite. When I went to a restaurant in Istanbul, they gave me menus in Turkish and English. The former was set in Comic Sans and the latter in Frutiger. The English menu looked so much like an office document and the Turkish one looked much more appetising (and I wished I could read Turkish). That was a genuine time when Comic Sans beat Frutiger.

Despite its quirky letterforms, it performs surprisingly well on screen. And I have seen people trying to use Comic Sans for coding too, most notably Simon Peyton Jones. Programming/coding is also a corner of typography where writing aspect plays a lot compared to others (e.g. user interface), so I found handwriting fonts quite fitting too. I think Comic Code also helps coding beginners who may be intimidated by the cold and mechanical visual of codes. I for one am easily bored while writing codes in regular sans serif. Coding environment is a very personal space and there is no need to look professional. I didn't need maximum clarity or efficiency in my coding typeface, but I wanted to have fun coding.

I think Comic Sans, for some people anyway, is something the internet told you to hate. I do see flaws in the typeface and I tried to improve it in my design, but I don't think you should be ashamed of liking Comic Sans. It's not even a bad typeface, and I have seen worse, many times. There is no bad typeface, only bad typography.
(That's not strictly true but generally the case for Comic Sans)

Sorry for the long post. If you have suggestions (e.g. what glyphs and ligatures added), I'm all ears.
Won't make a lick of difference. Someone always has an older brother or friend. Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

What they should do is just apply some friction. Like when you had to start getting OTC meds like Sudafed from the pharmacist. I don’t know if that’s federal or my state. But if you buy too much Sudafed you get on the meth cooker list.

> To me, unless your paycheck bounces then your employer doesn't owe you anything.

I so wish this was the case. But in the interest if saving a few dollars now employers have increasingly relied on "the benefits" to offset costs. How many people get a company phone so they can be reached out of the office? Or, in the case of government and education employees, take a smaller paycheck now knowing the pension plan is going to a defined installment later on.

In some cases I've offered to take slightly reduced pay just so I can have a more vacation time. Every time it's been denied. Because they know if they agree to it they are beholden to it. They don't care about the money. They want control of your personal life.

Self interest doesn’t preclude trust because in general it’s good for your bottom line to do good things for your customers. To use an example, millions of parents trust daycares with their children, which typically are profit-seeking entities.
