If anyone had told me 10 years ago that we should encourage cars to have MFA and that I'd agree with the argument, I'd have lost my mind.
Hmm, some boffins with a model based in part on stuff like soil nitrogen levels claim that there was a mysterious gradual decline in population in Ireland right before the Vikings came ... versus contemporary chroniclers who claim there was a non-mysterious decline in population right after the Vikings came to Ireland. Which one should we believe?

Kind of reminds me of the "historians"[1] who claimed the German invasions of Rome were peaceful multicultural changes rather than the sacks of the place recorded both in the archaeological record, and by contemporary chroniclers.

For bulk foods, like grains, you can use aluminized polyester film bags, and blow in pure nitrogen or drop in an oxygen-absorber packets while sealing the bag. Then you put the bags in a food-grade bucket and seal it. The bags can have resealable zip-locks on them.

Yes, this uses plastic, but all of it is reusable when using certain bag-sealing methods.
I'm sorry I didn't see this reply. Amazon assigns an account manager to essentially squeeze you as much as possible from day 1. We were amicable at first, but they just kept asking for bigger and bigger discounts. After we flatly refused the account managers pricing for a couple of months in a row the 1P PO's just stopped showing up one day, the manager didn't pick up their phone, and that was that.

We have since re-established our 1P relationship and our new account manager seems to be more understanding. Time will only tell.

>The 40h a day week and modern-day work contracts come as a direct evolution of medieval servitude, with little modification.

You're claiming the opposite of what the article does. Medieval serfs did not work a 40h week.

>This explains the system of values that revolve around it

No.

>such as for example the notion that it's somewhat something to be ashamed of for an employee to leave its employer, while it's perfectly OK for the employer to terminate the employee at any time.

Says who? This is so overbroad that it doesn't actually match reality. Lots of people quit jobs all the time.

>The servant was not expected to leave its master, that was not OK.

Come on.

You have an angle you want to argue but you can't just distort reality to fit your conclusion. Nothing you argued is broadly true, though I'm sure you can find individual examples.
Brain Doesn't Recharge If You Use Your Phone on Break
I still use some Google products because it's far too inconvenient to get rid of them (notably, Android and YouTube), but I got rid of pretty much anything else that "normal people" rely on: search, maps, Chrome (or any Chromium-based browser), analytics, calendar, drive, assistant, Gmail etc.
Top Influencers Every Salesperson Must Follow in 2019
> "large scale blocking of cookies undermine people’s privacy by encouraging opaque techniques such as fingerprinting"

"If y'all had just handed over your wallet when we asked, we wouldn't have had to hurt you. So really, this is your fault."

More seriously, what Google is saying here is that privacy can't be mainstream. It's no different from the arguments that advertisers gave when they rejected DNT. They're willing to let a few privacy-minded people avoid being tracked, as long as that group never becomes a majority. But it was never their plan to get rid of tracking, every compromise they ever offered had the catch, "as long as it doesn't affect our bottom line."

It's just another Equifax settlement. "Yeah we offered it, but we never assumed that so many of you would take it. Be reasonable."

Heck that. If you genuinely believe that people should have a choice about privacy, then you have to accept that maybe the majority of people will decide they don't want cookies. You have to take a step back and consider that browsers that block cookies by default are just reflecting what their users already widely want; people want their browsers to protect them from tracking by default, without configuration.You're not offering users a choice, you're just mad that you can't use dark patterns to make users unsafe-by-default.

This entire article is just insulting.
In what respect? (There's like 12 ways this could be going, so I don't want to jump in the wrong one.)
Nice jab try there, the suble point you are missing is that a deployment profile still is a guarantee of support.

There aren't an endless number of profiles.

Yeah, why even let the Nazis have IP addresses? In fact, if we took away their computers, pens, and papers, surely that would make them less likely to lash out violently.
> The lack of spell-check was pretty great in helping to focus in on writing. I will try turning that off when I write in the future, returning to the old way of running spell-check after I have gotten the thoughts down on the page.

I write everything in vim and then copy it over/generate it/whatever afterwards. I can't stand all the different spelling corrections, auto-completes, and everything else getting in the way. It's so totally distracting.
If you are going to accuse someone of "spouting nonsense", it would behoove you to know the facts on the ground, not just have a vague notion.

Some states have laws about how faithless electors "must" vote. The only related case to reach SCOTUS was regarding "pledge" laws, which require electors to pledge they will be faithful. The court has not ruled on laws requiring a certain vote or punishments for violating such laws. There is a case winding its way through the courts on the issue, and different courts have come to different conclusions (the latest of which is to rule them unconstitutional).
I'm a little surprised that lxd doesn't cater more to nfs rather than bind mounts etc for file sharing. I mean if you already have private/secure networking - just use a network filesystem for your... Network filesystem needs?
JWTs suck (for web auth and basically everything else)
Every climate change mitigation has different trade off, different winners and losers, different sacrifice to be made. So generally deciding what to do as at the scale of the society, or maybe in this case the global civilization, is political.
This reminds me of oil companies sharing footage of their employees scrubbing oil off ducks.
Agreed, this is a problem that we will solve through scientific innovation in power generation (nuclear) and carbon sequestration. The solutions that fall in the emotional domain often involve legislation and a reduction in quality of life.
I think that’s an unfair reading of the blog post. They seem to suggest that advertisers can do targeting client side, using cookies, and without sending the cookies out. There are issues with this of course (enforcement, bandwidth), but it sound like a good compromise.
I agree, the idea that you get equal "credit" for just being a state is also something that is no longer relevant. In the 18th and even 19th century the ratio of highly populated to low populated states was not significant. Today we have huge disparities that deteriorates our democracy.
This is from a 1993 book.

There's no mention of the pretty pleasant 16-21 years that most Americans spend in education, compared to preindustrial labourers starting work before age 11. Or of the concept "retirement", which would have been hard for medieval peasants to imagine.

There's also this pertinent commentary from 1995:

https://www.clevelandfed.org/~/media/content/newsroom%20and%...

"The central message of this Economic Commentary is that the presumption of declining leisure is in fact a fallacy. Previous studies purporting to have uncovered such a fact have not adequately disentangled time spent in home production..."
Nearly every open source package that sees use will be added to free-as-in-beer repositories. I don't see how this gets any uptake.
They are not all soldiers, the corps has considerable civilian staff as well. But the reason is mostly historical. The corps existed first to build and maintain coastal fortifications and then when the western frontier opened up it made sense to assign them to secure the rivers and improve the waterways west (the western expansion was as much a military operation against the native peoples as it was a civilian migration).

Some people work 6-7 days a week already. So if they're working under that arrangement now, it will probably be fine for them to work more than mandatory hours in the future also.

That'd be a sad analysis to read. I'd rather see them write a whole journal full of experiences they've had, people they've met and what they've learned about themselves. That's where the riches would be.
I see many recommendations for 'Born To Run'. I want to warn that the Tarahumara rarely (if ever) run on pavement. If you switch to a minimal shoe (or want to reduce injury risk) you should be primarily running on dirt or grass.

Interesting question. I suppose so. I know identical twins can typically receive organ transplants from each other with complications. So theoretically they should be able to receive tumor transplants (which is what clonal transmissible cancer is).

Sorry man, but all your hopes look pretty bad (as any other average eco-enthusiast hopes do).

1. Renewable energy (solar and wind mainly) is shitty mostly, not delivering, huge resources required, and huge backup battery/hydro storage required.
SOLUTION = Nuclear

2. EV cars are junk, poorly packed energy, much less than gasoline per kg, giving bad range and big mass overhead to vehicle (meaning also bigger energy consumption). You just feel eco but price is paid in electrical infrastructure / power-plants / battery materials.
SOLUTION=Nuclear again, then you can pack your cheap electricity back to chemical energy and use totally clean ICE which now has totally clean exhaustion (no impure fossil shit).

3. Recycling (although not highlighted in article) is waste of time and resources (mostly), moving junk around the globe so that you can feel green :D
SOLUTION=Nuclear again, just get abundant cheep electricity and burn it with plasma torches. Don't send you garbage to China, even they don't want it.

In short, Fusion would be great, Fission will save us also. Just stop wasting time/money/resources on other stupid ideas that change nothing and sometimes do more harm than original solution they have replaced.
I don't even know why I have to be called a climate change denier or skeptic. The onus is on people who believe the climate is changing to prove it. As to say, it is not my job to disprove something that hasn't been proved.

Now obviously there is "proof" in circulation. But what is it proving? Have any prediction targets been met at all? How much will the sea tides rise and when? How much would have they risen given natural cycles? Even if man mad emissions weren't affecting the temperature would a climate scientist be able to predict the temperature 5 years from now?

Nasa has a few articles about how Earth is much greener than 40 years ago due to global warming -> https://climate.nasa.gov/climate_resources/3/graphic-warmer-....

Are we simply waiting for this new vegetation to mature and reduce carbon emissions? Is anyone factoring in potential plant growth? Could they even measure that? Maybe the earth knows how to naturally cycle?

As I've aged, all I have seen is men make futile predictions about everything under the sun. The more and more variables and extrapolations added to a problem generally leads to an exponentially bad answer. I'm sure anyone who works in a job that does heavy spread sheet work can twist any bunch of numbers to fit a departments desired figure.

Furthermore, the mass fervour of the world for climate change should induce skepticism. Where is everyone getting their sources from?

Arguments such as:

"Think about the children" "Save the planet"

Are typically go to answers of people who can't make a real point.

Now it is not anyone's fault that they should act hysterical, the authority that is trickling down all this information should be a bit more out spoken. The media also needs to drop the term "experts" and "scientists".

I'd just like to know, in 10 years from now, if carbon emissions were at 19th century level, what would be the temperature be? and at our current rate of carbon emission what will the temperature be? With what degree of accuracy will the figure hold up to? Other then reducing man made emissions, what other planetary behaviour will also reduce carbon emissions? Can they be predicted and have you included them in the report?

Not even going to bother with the political aspect of this all, which actually may well be the majority of this movement. If I truely believed climate change were a real problem for the world, as the above posted said, I would be going after all the billion person populations first and foremost.
Ask HN: How to Find Remote Jobs?

I am quitting my job to focus on learning web dev full-time.

How to find remote jobs?
They, really are not "a curious bunch of people". I'm calling it a weird implication because it's reductionist and kind of fascistic to try to write off huge groups of people as being inherently different.
“The climate is always changing”

After you’ve had 100 people tell you that, you’ll probably change your mind.

Social media has made the problem worse. For some reason, deniers flood the discussion with silly statements like that.

I keep the xkcd cartoon handy for any discussions:

https://xkcd.com/1732/
My favorite subject.

First, I'm not sure if you're aware, but the price of a procedure in the US is not necessarily related to its cost. There's been several news articles showing the same procedure can cost 100x more in one hospital vs the other in the same city. Hospitals literally pull prices out their ass and justify it by saying "no one pays that price". Then they bludgeon people with these completely fictitious numbers when insurance doesn't play ball.

What you're also failing to realize is the US does have a universal health care system, it's just really shitty and inefficient: its called the emergency room. Doctors can't just leave people to die if they can't pay.

Stories from the great US paid healthcare system:

When my wife had to get her gall bladder removed. The hospital charged us $25k for 1 hour use of the surgery room, and $20k for 1 hour use of the recovery room. It took insurance almost a year to resolve, and in the meantime both sides kept bothering us. Hospital told us not to worry though because things usually get resolved once both sides start threatening eachother with lawsuits. I asked what happens if insurance still doesn't pay it, and they said that the hospital usually writes it off. Sounds GREAT!

The above was on top of ~10k other general hospital bills, plus 3.6k anesthesiologist, 25k surgeon, and a couple k in post operation followup. Total charged price for one of the most common operations in the country: about 85k. Completely sustainable.

In another instance, we needed something done that we thought wasn't covered by insurance. When trying to figure out what the price would be, it took several weeks worth of phone calls, and tens of hours on the phone to figure out with our local hospital what it would cost. Then when we got there, someone said it didn't include something. But it was OK because insurance covered the whole thing for various reasons. We said OK. They were wrong though, insurance still didn't cover it. This is important because medical places usually have an "insurance price" and a "cash price", and we got screwed out of the cash price by going through insurance.

We also had a close friend deliver her own baby in a hospital hallway and get charged $30k for the delivery.

My sister was charged $1.2k for the removal of a cotton ball from her ear while waiting in a line.

My brother had a $5k ambulance ride.

I always think twice before interacting with the healthcare system in the US.
Densify update helps finance make more intelligent cloud buying decisions
I’m aiming to get a remote job and say I’m working full time but actually do this. As you say, if you give these hours the employer gets a fantastic deal. My strength has always been the speed I can work at and I’d love to swap the time I spend looking busy with free time and a bit of Slack monitoring.
Art is one of the [many] reasons I could never be an indie game developer--I preferred to stick to apps and use the OS's native toolkits. You can't just write more tests to help ensure good art like you can for software. There's no compiler warnings to tell you it's not going to look good. There's no API spec to consult when you don't know if your character should have bigger or smaller eyes.

I don't even know how I'd even start to interview an artist or art director. You can't ask them to spend 10 minutes developing a 32x32 character on a whiteboard, can you? I doubt they'd do a 2-day HackerRank style take-home test. I guess you have to heavily rely on their portfolio and whether you like the look.

I empathize with the OP and really, seeing as he's made a successful living for 25 years writing games with crappy art, why does anyone think he needs advice from the HN or Reddit brain trust?
My significant other does manual labor, and it's a good day when they don't want to just come home and fall asleep on the couch and those good days are rare. Even after my worst days of a software dev job, I still have the energy to come home and cook dinner, do some yard work, and other chores.

I will echo your line about wishing manual laborers were better appreciated. I have impostor syndrome, but it's not in comparison to peers in my industry, it's feeling like I don't deserve to earn multiples more then people like my spouse who break their bodies for a pittance.
My explanation is you are just wrong about all of those things. A firm that let people go without severance would be considered extremely unprofessional in professional contexts. Talking about how much you get paid is not only normal it’s protected by law and you should definitely be doing both legal and financial research on any perspective employers.
I love the concept behind this.

I have thought for a while now that we are not necessarily guaranteed to see the best basketball players in the world perform in the NBA, nor are we guaranteed to see the fastest runners in the world win the 100 meter dash in the Summer Olympics.

We can only be sure that we are witnessing the best basketball players in the world who are motivated by money, and the fastest runners who are motivated by fame.
That's pretty great
Ok, got it, thanks for the explanation :) I also really enjoyed the exploration and social aspect of the early part of the game back then, I quit when that was over and seemed as if the rest of it would just be re-doing the same raids over and over trying to get slightly better gear.

Just curious, but how early in your long distance running career did you start working with a PT?

I've found that when most people think of long distance running they focus on pushing themselves, but in practice I've found that a huge part of the sport is avoiding and properly managing injuries. It's a bizarre sport because getting injured is an essential part of it.

Myself and many of my running friends have started working more frequently with PTs and I've personally found it really, really helps identify and fixing the real cause of injury. But it sounds like you have much more experience then me so I am genuinely curious if you made heavy use of PT and still succumbed to chronic injury.
