I watched a few of his videos and I agree with a lot of the things he proposes.

Basic Income is a MUST for a society that is undergoing deep economic/technical change, in which ordinary people are challenged with low growth (economic) or evolved technology (e.g. AI might be able to take a lot of jobs).

IMO a better form is Basic Income in the form of food/housing/education coupons + more tax cuts for people who are willing to learn new things, but that's another topic. I also think education is the biggest thing here, as a lot of smart poor kids don't get the chance to receive high-end education. We should give incentives to professors from good universities to hold lectures in other universities. Yes for sure we have online courses but F2F still has some advantages for discussion and that's the other half of education. You have to listen AND discuss. Discourse and Reddit alike cannot fulfill that, yet.

Sadly I don't think he has a chance against the big players.
Yeah, a program written in X would not have been possible without the existence of programming language X.
I would say the US is becoming more like India/China given what Americans are willing to do to get into their choice schools and graduating even if it means borrowing unreasonable amounts of money.
Nonsense. It's a really big deal. It's probably the greatest accomplishment in all of human history.

But to concede a point, there's no finish line in the race to improve human health and experience.
This and it's come a long way in the last 10yrs but it's more dependent on hardware. Optimus still an issue with nvidia (3hrs) vs 630(5hrs) and have to switch between. However, just bought a pair of (used) x270's to travel with - one has Fedora and the other windows 10. Linux lasts 8-9 hours and the Windows about the same (maybe less).
Have the same problem in the upstairs of my house (also in UK) - still unbearably hot at night, even when it's cooled significantly outside.

It seems houses here are built only with heating in mind, rather than cooling. I get that in much of the UK they need heated a lot more often than cooled, but it makes for pretty horrible summers.
Every so often I get excited about doing the same, and ditching my MBP and getting a shiny XPS or X1 Carbon. Then I look at a few pieces of software I can't find good replacements for (for example, Transmit for working with S3) or software where the replacements require giving up functionality or ease of use (thinking of Screenflow or Pixelmator). Maybe one day ....

Measured advice does not a cult following make :-)

Personally I agree with you. Financial prudence doesn't need to equate with freaking out at the thought of having a restaurant meal with friends. Nor does having certain organizational routines mean buying into some complete time management "system."

I do think some people feel they need the structure of systems that are at least in principle pretty absolutist though.
The Indian private school educational system does teach phonics which might be why lots of Indian origin kids ace the spelling bee in the US.
Right now, Spain is importing over twice as much octopus as it's exporting. Actual Iberian octopus prices have gone up over a 400%, while most of the locally consumed (cheaper) stuff comes from Marocco and Mauritania.
> Influencers also get a harder time than celebrities in terms of their credibility, Ms Tasker says.

> "I think there's an unfair sense that influencers have no talent beyond content creation, so we hold them to much higher standards in their work.

> "In my experience, celebs are far worse for disclosing brand partnerships and misleading audiences, but aren't held to account by their followers in the same way."

I just realized that this has always been the basis of my inability to understand why 'influencers' are even a thing.

It's like deciding to buy a car based on which car show model is most appealing, and then making other decisions based on which brand of water they drink or which bandages they use to cover their scraped knee after they've fallen down while jogging. Seriously, what other talent is involved? And why would I make a decision based on that?

As for celebrities, at least some of them have some level of skill in acting or music or sports. I guess this is just the disruption of the celebrity print magazine market, like People or Tiger Beat.
India has an often criticized reservation system where 50-60% of seats in colleges/universities are allotted to people from lower castes. This puts enormous pressure on economically backward kids from upper castes who have to score upwards of 98% to get admitted whereas a person from a lower caste can get admitted by scoring just about 50%.
When did girls start wearing pink?
I guess they care too much about portability to use "pragma GCC poison"?
You apply the consistency, you degree what you want. People decide to use Linux and still expect to be told what they want. Decide what you want and make it so, Linux is fundamentally a user-centric system and for it to work best it needs a creative guiding force in the middle: you, the user.
So I did some more research and I think you're actually incorrect here about orgnanizations restricting cash from being used to pay off a debt (as opposed to purchasing goods/services), which is what I've been talking about all along. From the Federal Reserve:

> This statute means that all United States money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor. There is, however, no Federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. [1]

In other words, yes, organizations can accept chickens or barter. But if you have a debt and you only want to pay cash, and they refuse it, then there's nothing they can do to compel you to pay in a different form.

So again -- you're right there's no law against prohibiting cash payment for debt, but if a business can't collect otherwise, then for business purposes it's effectively a prohibition regardless. (Only difference being that a company can't be fined/punished for it, they just lose the value of the debt.)

I think it's not inherently Democracy's "fault". The problem is the currently prevailing fiscal and monetary culture is overly conservative.

Where did you get the idea that this can "pass all blocks" ? You can't _pass_ blocks, a Man in the Middle isn't obliged to pass anything from you to the other party. You can only decide you'd rather the connection fails than have it be intercepted.

It turns out that humans are strongly disinclined to accept failure. Once they have set upon a course of action they'll see it through despite almost any cost, they are focused on achieving their goal. This is related to the sunk cost fallacy. For interception MITM attacks this means the attack will very likely work _unless_ we just treat it as a failed connection.

If you interrupt a human trying to do something with "The government of Kazakhstan wants to intercept your connection and arbitrarily change everything. OK?" the human doesn't even read as far as "Kazakhstan" before they push OK. "OK already computer, stop bothering me". So there's no point offering failure as an option, users will pick "OK" anyway.

Instead the correct solution is for the browser to just treat interception as failure as a matter of policy. Users aren't surprised if you do this, now the browser just can't connect when there's a problem, which is already how they understood things. And because they can't just press "OK" they are freed from their plan, it has failed, and now they can re-evaluate.
> 1. no concept of reading, context is not helpful

> 2. start to read, use context to cover any weaknesses and gaps

> 3. become fluent reader, no longer need context to cover weaknesses and gaps.

That's completely not how you learn to read.

Step 2. is start to learn what sounds to make when you are seeing given combination of letters. And then learn gradually how to make the sounds faster and for longer sequences of letters.
Until you reach step 3 where you can blurt a word or even few at a time as one or few sounds at good pace.

At no point the context comes into play. It usually is even harmful because it makes you make stuff up instead of reading. Often wrong, occasionally correct which seems even more harmful.

Context is important only after you read completely fluently and begin to read new domain of knowledg with completely unknow vocabulary. Then you can get some words meaning from context. Although you should always check if you guessed correctly.

If you would like to know more about how most people in the world learn to read please find out how kids learn to read in other languages than english. English is a bit quirky but in no way unique. What's unique is english approach to reading teaching. I don't think anywhere else kids are encouraged to make stuff up as they go.
It sounds like you are aware of this pattern, so your work is mostly done. Good job!

Rely on whatever practice helps you to inject space when you're caught by the desire to disprove an internet stranger (take a deep breath, notice what you're feeling, count to ten, whatever helps).

It's possible that you were like this before and just unaware. It's also possible that this extends to areas of your life outside of your internet persona.

In my experience, just try to say curious about it. Don't shut your own process down, or try to 'solve' it too quickly, as though you're arguing with yourself on an online forum ;)
You're conflating environment and reading of written opinions.

People are products of their experiences, sure. That experience is much wider than "possibly bot authored comments on social media", but OpenAI is acting as if it isn't.

Most people won't agree with their stance. It does however seem to have some weight in certain social circles, the sort of circles that assume most people aren't educated enough to make good decisions.
There are discussions happening on LKML right now about how to solve this. I don’t have a link handy, but saw them either here or on LWN recently.

I used to have that problem too, but it went away when I stopped using JetBrains products :). Not for any reason other than the contract I was working on ended.
Understanding and knowledge are, to me, the what and the why.

I understand the US president must stand down after two terms. I know this happens because of my knowledge of the US constitution.

I also understand the US constitution is a set of rules. And I know the vague historical reasons why they were formed.

Understanding and knowledge are, to me, in a constant cat-mouse chase: "okay, this happened - but why? Ah, it's because this happened - but why did that happen? Ad infinitum".

It's cause and effect until you lose interest and are happy saying 'just because it's like that'.
This. I love iTerm2 and hadnt found an acceptable replacement on Linux until I installed Terminator, which I would say is 70% there.

Other than that I use Linux (Mint) for my main Desktop OS, but I still deal with plenty of rough edges. The latest ones:

- Wifi doesn't work after suspend wakeup.
- After upgrading OS to next version using recommended UI method, PC us unable to start graphics mode bc it doesn't find some random UI package... i had to login in TTY and manually install it.
- CS:GG, a game with Linux native port suddenly decided to get choppy lagged sound. Same game works well in Windows in same PC
- Connecting bluetooth headphones sometimes works, sometimes doesn't

So yeah, plenty of rough edges. Still I use it because I love the programming workflow and use docker with Linux containers.
iDoRecall is a new kind of spaced-repetition flashcard app. You upload your learning materials (many file types and videos.) You create flashcards linked to the concepts and facts in your study materials that you want to remember. When you practice, if you forget the answer, click a link to open the source file/video at the exact spot where you learned it. Quickly refresh your memory and get back to your practice session.

iDR now allows students to create study groups and share files and flashcards. Teachers can also create classes and do the same.

I'd love your feedback, positive and negative. Thanks!
Perhaps we should convince their group that berberechos are a new discovery?...haha. I'm in Kathmandu and today at my local market chain (Big Mart) I found frozen ostrich meat - an interesting surprise.

1. The article explained this isn't true. Carbon dioxide is a problem. Oxygen depletion is not. Burning enough forests to decrease atmospheric oxygen by just 1% would increase CO2 by 5000%. We'd be dead long before we ran out of oxygen.

2. I'm not sure what you have in mind for "short term" vs "long term", but oxygen levels only change significantly over hundreds of millions of years.

3. Just like a stable sized forest doesn't produce any significant net oxygen, humans don't overall use up oxygen from breathing. The plants you eat (or if you're eating meat, the plants your food ate) released oxygen into the air when forming the carbohydrates and fats you eat. Your body then recombines these with an equal amount of oxygen to produce energy.
This seems rather uncharitable.

Docker [was] off on macOS through no fault of the OS. Particular software dev teams taking shortcuts is on themselves.

Linux also requires reboots for certain updates (plus you can disable checks for updates entirely and run one only when you want to on macOS, or even use `softwareupdate` for finer-grained control, so if it was "nagging you constantly" that's kind of on you).

`sudo` works "as expected" for everything that doesn't involve conflict with the built-in System Integrity Protection, which is most things (in the past three or so years on macOS I've only run up against it twice). There isn't any "fiddling with firmware" going on. Plus if you want total freedom to delete your entire `/bin` folder or something, again you can disable SIP and move on with your life.

I'm currently running Bash 5 on my MBP, so I don't get your outdated software complaint either. macOS doesn't have any magical power to force you to use the versions of (third-party!) software it ships with.

If these are the first complaints that come to mind it just sounds like you haven't used the OS much and entirely refused to explore it or give it a chance in the time that you did. I mean, not even trying to set your own update preferences?
I agree with you. Instagram is the only social media I still use, and it's mainly because it's so non-toxic. I mostly see stuff related to my hobbies, some comic stripes, some friends I care about. It's by definition a bubble, but it's one that is actually chosen by me. Mainly, its pleasantness comes from the sensation of not being inundated by contents, by the lack of importance that comments have, etc. I bet it's possible to have a different experience, if I followed influencers and whatnot it would be much worst. However, for how I use it, I don't mind it and I actually get to know interesting things.

I propose a civilian service academy and civilian service, which would achieve most of a draft's goals without the military. American infrastructure could use it, among other benefits.

I talk about it in episode 138 in my podcast: http://joshuaspodek.com/guests/rants-raves-monologues-volume....

Yes sorry Lower Latency and higher throughput.
Thanks!

I wonder about finding the balance between skills that are specialized enough to be rare, and but not so rare that people don’t need them that often...
you mean parents forcefully making their children prodigies in teenis, chess etc. is bad? same goes with youtubers
oops, I meant to saw lower latency and higher throughput.
In India, the identity of a student is defined by his grade. It's too bad students score grades that are not sufficient to satisfy the ego of their parents/relatives/society.
It takes a lot of time for people to discover that they are not limited by their grades. People who never discover that, define their children using the same yardstick.

It's really sickening. I really wish the parents understand that the real world is more about collaboration than competition.

Anyone interested in truly understanding what education is - please read this book "totto-chan , the little girl at the window".

Ask HN: What's the hardest thing to secure in a web-app?
I will chime in here as I did something along these lines. It's not worth it. If you/anyone wants to do meaningful work. Make lots of money, use the extra money for things that matter to you. It's a hard learned lesson. But everything improves when you are getting paid more. Your colleagues, the opportunities, literally everything
Then I shall live in hope that it will be fixed :)

And I didn't even have a JetBrains product in the loop, it was a mix of virtualbox and VS code, along with browser, mail client, etc.
Sure, but then you lose soundness. That is, it becomes possible to fool the compiler into thinking, say, a string is a fixnum, leading to crashes. It becomes equivalent to the optional typing of mypy which also is easy too fool because it doesn't insert any type checks.

def oh():
return 'hi'
x: int = oh()
x + 3

It type checks fine but contains a type error.
Also made the switch from MacOS X to Linux with i3 and mostly happy with the result.
Things I miss the most are consistent key bindings for the clipboard and Spotlight.
Some back of the envelope math... One tree in a tropical rainforest sequesters 50 pounds of carbon. The Amazon contains 390 billion trees. Since industrialization humanity has cumulative released about a trillion tons of carbon. So if the entire Amazon burned down it would increase atmospheric carbon by less than 1%.

This is just a rough estimate, and I'd encourage others to check my calculations. But intuitively this seems correct. Extracting fossil fuels releases all the carbon sequestered by organisms over 100 million+ years. Burning down a rainforest only releases the carbon sequestered by organisms currently living.

I don't see how it wouldn't be possible for fossil fuels not to contain orders of magnitude more carbon than forests. Which is of course why the switch from wood to coal precipitated the industrial revolution.

I find that for low RAM situations that zram is very handy and allows for a graceful reduction in performance under memory stress rather than a cliff edge that you get with a swap partition.
If it's the MBP hardware that you don't like, maybe try Hackintoshing with a Linux dual-boot?
The comments here would have been completely different had the software been developed by the government.
Here's the approach I've thought of for my own game project:

If you want to be on the leader-boards and be a high level competitive player, there's only one micro-transaction you're allowed to have. ($1 monthly membership to "Stellar Exploration Corps.") Meanwhile, on another site like Indiegogo, there would be a number of digital assets offered as rewards for funders. One could pay $25, $75, $200, $1000 dollars to become an interstellar tycoon, alien spy, or a space pirate lord -- basically, you pay money to have a chance to inhabit the world as an important person. These "funder" characters would then have access to a catalog of conventional micro-transactions. In doing so, they would be funding and building content for the competitive player base. Basically, becoming NPCs from the POV of the competitive players.

Naturally, "Stellar Exploration Corps" members wouldn't be allowed to trade items or currency with the other characters. ("Conflict of Interest.")
NordVPN has seemingly slowed down as of late too. Though there are so many nodes that who knows what’s going on and how prevalent.

Previously when connected, my line would go down to 50+ Mbps: perfectly reasonable. Now, I test and it is sub 2 Mbps.
macOS' keybindings are honestly amazing.

So is Automator (which I wish more people knew about).
I used the visionary plan from ProtonVPN and ProtonMail. I personally have found it exceedingly good. I still augment it with my own VPN (easy enough to setup). I do experience slowdowns at peak times, but I also tend to break 30Mb/s speeds - can’t complain
Adjacently related, I follow a lot of artists on Twitter. A recurring complaint, including for myself when I previously used Instagram was non-permissioned and uncredited reposting of artist’s content. As an artist it is a problem for obvious reasons, for a user if I like the work I want to know exactly who did it and why.

Of course this can and does happen on twitter, but I think two thinks make the results more favorable. The first is the poster can get called out on what they did. Secondly, Twitter’s less reliance on algorithmic feeds mean the content theft is less “rewarded.”

The whole Tumblr fiasco upset a lot of artists and pretty much terminated the use of any artists whose work triggered the nudity detection filter, which was easy to do. Twitter gets complaints about compression, especially with videos and pixel art. All of the extra tweets that come with the art has forced me to unfollow a lot of artists whose work I like. Instagram has the issue I just described. All of those billions of dollars invested in consumer content sharing apps and this is the current state of things.
Everything would be crazy when analyzing how people come to conclusions in trading.
Haskell is not really category-theoretic. The category Hask doesn't quite line up with real-world Haskell. The disconnection is well-understood and well-documented [0][1].

Category theory can directly give us systems from theories. See the papers behind FQL/CQL for more details, especially [2] and [3].

This comment shows me how these type of threads are useless and sound as random whining to everyone. Your experience and use case is so perpendicular to mine and 100% as valid as mine. But one person love for something is another person hate.

In this case, either one would work. A semi-colon separates two independent clauses, while a colon can be used to define or introduce something. I think it is more natural to use a colon (“:”) here because you’re defining what Douglas Adams was right about, but either one would make the title more clear.
Airline fuel is largely untaxed, but most other aviation fuel is taxed.

General aviation 100LL ("avgas") fuel is taxed federally at $0.191/gallon (or $0.335/gallon for certain ownership structures).

General aviation jet fuel is taxed at $0.219 (to as much as $0.244) per gallon.

Highway fuel is taxed federally at $0.184/gallon (slightly less than avgas).

Electric aircraft are not poised to disrupt the jet-fuel burning sector of aviation. The aircraft in this article will be competing against aircraft using taxed fuel (100LL).
That’s what they say, if they require a CS degree to work there.
