What we have now is destructive, and what I'm talking about is science fiction. It would require significant legal and economic changes. Coincidentally, it appears now that the long-term survival of industrialized human society will require significant legal and economic changes. So, that's why I would say such a crazy thing.

With the wealth distribution curve we have today, I don't think your proposed solution goes anywhere near far enough to stop the consolidation of wealth in the hands of a very few who hoard it and use it to buy governments. But maybe your definition of "solved" in this context is not the same as mine.
I have yet to meet the first introverted developer that does not open up and become enthusiastic when asked to talk about one of his (personal) projects. I’ll admit they may exist though.
You are living proof with this dumb question how really stupid humans are.
Mass hysteria / moral panic perhaps? Isn't the greater, real threats are people are inhaling massive quantities of nicotine and propylene glycol, and not sufficiently cleaning their atomizers?

This comment section is also a bunch of speculation without any evidence. Seems to be the same with every other story or conversation about this topic.
> At $6500 it's over a years worth average salary

It's approximately six years of a typical income in Zimbabwe at the moment. It's definitely a lot of money, makes sense to lock it up.
>I’m always amused when the frameworks being used advertise things like “We make coding fun!”

I understand where they're coming from having dealt with a few legacy frameworkless spaghetti code bases that have no documentation. Give me bad code to maintain in a known framework over bad code without a framework anyday. Adding features and debugging in those conditions are no fun at all.
This looks like a truly awful idea. Once police have decided that you need to be immobilized, they will do whatever they feel is necessary to achieve that goal. After handcuffs, their next option is going to be tear gas ... if you're lucky. I'm not saying that's how it should be, but in the US at least that's how it is.
Sound like the one time my dad and I, who where Whiterock Networks employees at the time, overheard some misinformation about about some wifi router, and we interjected and the sales kid was saying we were wrong.
Slow your roll. Markets are fine for business. Not for families. Tell you kid you'll make it up to them in Q4. ;P
Depends on your country.
twitter.com -> m.twitter.com appears to be the mobile, non-JS version. (I don't use it to tweet, but I get linked to it to read some things sometimes, and that functionality works fine.)

The PR submarine strikes again.
Model S and X range is close to 370 miles with the long range battery and Raven drivetrain (in production for several months), not 300.

With Supercharger stations being no more than 150 miles apart (and that distance shrinking as more stations keep coming online), home charging, and per mile costs half that of internal combustion vehicles you mentioned, it’s a no brainer even considering the vehicle is somewhat (but not outrageously) heavier.

As I've noted elsewhere:

Almost 10 years ago, I conducted an experiment.
I watched an hour of CNN's every night but it was never that night's coverage. It was from exactly two weeks ago.

It was amazing how much "breaking news!" was irrelevant or just outright wrong, how many large trend predictions were wrong, and how many "[person] will do X" were wrong. While the predictions could have been portrayed as opinions, they were presented as facts and the obvious next steps or conclusions.

I realized pretty quickly that avoiding CNN kept out the blatantly wrong information so even if I didn't replace it with anything, I was net ahead.

A few years ago, I discovered this article and realized that some portion of it was probably on purpose:

https://aeon.co/essays/how-the-internet-flips-elections-and-...
The one study says that current best estimates place vaping at ~20x safer, or a single order of magnitude. The other provides no concrete numbers.

There appears to be a lot of dispute about those numbers are unrealisticlly high and concerns about conflicts of interest. The wikipedia article provides lots of references on those disputes:

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safety_of_electronic_cigarette...

Specifically, the study itself states "A limitation of this study is the lack of hard evidence for the harms of most products on most of the criteria"
Exactly true! C, for example is a VM!
To be fair lots of places have restocking fees on various items due to the nature of “renting”.

I find central computers is often staffed with people that are less than personable.
This is impressive. I can tell that you effectively group the red squares together, but I can't figure out exactly how you went about it. What was your thought process?
At least for me social media was hardly less "mandatory" in the halcyon years of the late 2000s, the thing to have was just Facebook on your computer and not Instagram, which is allegedly the worst type of social media for mental health. Smartphone adoption was clearly rising very fast in 2012-2013 [1] (unfortunately no breakdown by sex / age / income).

It is frustrating to see these issues blamed on "smartphones" at large and not particular usages (Instagram, Tinder, Twitter stand out). I suspect if everyone used their smartphones to read e-books, lookup recipes, text their friends and family, or even just play video games there wouldn't be such a problem.

I highly recommend http://Anchor-Electronics.Com not that far from Sunnyvale Fry's.
I agree with those saying climate change is a huge stressor for young generations. I had the same argument with a friend about fear of nuclear war into the 80's, but she convinced me it wasn't the same. They are both existential fears, but nuclear war was something that only the military could make happen, and as long as it didn't happen, life could go on as usual (well not really, we know now). Whereas climate change is happening slowly but surely all around and everyone will have to change their behavior to avoid it.

My wife and I cannot talk about climate change around our kids because they understand how scary it is and we see their fear about the consequences.
Starting a multiplexer
It's such a sheltered attitude I see on HN where people talk about just ignoring the news, when you know that you don't have to worry about anything bad happening to you. It's a civic responsibility in a democracy to be informed. Even if you can't influence much with one particular vote depending on where you live, your voice can do a lot (see the NRA).

There's people dying in Yemen from a war that the US is supporting. There are serious debates occurring about the future of the economy which will have massive repercussions. Climate change poses a threat to the stability of civilization. We're coming to a crossroads with government surveillance issues.

It is deeply annoying when I see that people just tune out. You don't need to obsess over the latest 24 hour news cycle, but it's important not to be a personal isolationist for the good of society.
So where this affects things is when you want to take advantage of a newly-added syscall, or a newly-added feature of an existing syscall.

In the second case, both systems behave the same - if your program runs on an older kernel, the function entry point exists (either the syscall or ntdll symbol) but when you call the function to request the new feature, it returns a runtime error.

In the first case, Linux behaves identically to the first case - you get a runtime error (ENOSYS) - whereas Windows will produce an error at load time.

Typically what is done is that whatever is wrapping the syscall falls back to an alternate implementation for older kernels, if that's possible. If it's not, the program can either continue without that feature if it wants, or fail with a message that a newer kernel is required.

I don't feel that there's really a significant difference in the two approaches - wherever you draw the backwards-compatibility line you're going to have to do the same sort of work to maintain it.
Couldn't you achieve this with any font by rendering in higher resolution, downscaling to the size of the screen, and then having a "magnification" box follow your eyes around?
Correct.

Basically, I'd see code that looked like this:

assert(isNumeric(userInput));
if (!isNumeric(userInput)) {
return ERR_INVALID_INPUT;
}
...a "single egg"...

Regardless of the date on the package, eggs at least last a really long time. Go ahead and buy a dozen. If you eat those dozen this month, you'll probably be fine.
No - the article contradicts itself. The author says it's "a myth" and "just set up spf/dkim", and then later says "This is already happening with one specifically requiring mails to be sent from another Big Mailer Corp to hit the inbox, or requiring that senders be added to the contacts for others. Any other sender will hit spambox unconditionnally for a while before being eventually upgraded to inbox."

Which is it? Those of us who have run mail servers know that you get unconditionally spammed all the time.
Great concept but I found their execution lackluster. The studio (IDE) is an Atom-based editor that is horribly slow and very buggy. I'm still waiting for a cleaner, smoother implementation. Honestly, if they were reinventing the GUI, might as well be an extension for VS Code.
Not very technical so I'm not sure if you'll find it interesting, but it's a short read and it's my first post

Edit: All my lovely responders, I appreciate the feedback, but I don't want to install addons/mods/hacks to fix line-height.

The line-height looks perfectly fine to me. AFAIK the HN CSS doesn't force any specific height but uses the defaults. In fact I'm sick of the "modern" absurdly-low-density design trend that just makes me need to scroll more to see less.

My browser has a zoom function, and so should yours. I don't understand the resistance against customising a site --- it is a user agent working for you, and the CSS spec even mandates a user-stylesheet (which I know some browser(s) blatantly disregard). Different users will obviously have different preferences.
Beam’s performance is amazing if you are interested in context switching micro processes.

Do we have reliable data about the incidence of smoking among cooks and food preparation workers? How does it compare to the general population? Smoking is supposed to affect negatively your ability to recognise taste and smell, which are very important if you work in a kitchen but, at the same time, I too know several people who are in that line of business and are smokers.
> This method of justice is reserved for our court system inside the US and most likley not work for our borders due to the fact agents must make educated or gut decisions.

You mean there are two standards in USA one at the borders another in the country.

So all countries denying reporters, human rights workers or dissidents or protestors to enter their borders are doing it correct, because the rule of law is inside borders not outside.

So your thought justify very much the border agents analysing your phones and electronic media before entering, like the way in recent memories happening in Hong Kong borders due to protests.

You might, but personally I cannot agree with such a notion of dual standards of law. I understand entry to a country and visa is a privilege not a right. But if a country believes in rule is law and on foundations of "Innocent until proven guilty", then it should abide by it.
You're thinking about this wrong. You needed new friends from Willow Glen, Alma-Almaden neighborhood or Los Gatos. When I lived there, peeps would make the hike from Santa Cruz, too. Community is where you make it. Don't expect the world to change for you, be the change.
Does volume matter here? I'd rather go with "times CBP were right". As in how many of the time they were involved, they got involved for the right reasons.
They also seem to be ignoring the possibility that the current date indicators take the form they take because the firm that packaged that food has decided they make the most money that with this form of date indicator. Sure, there could be regulations governing this, but like all regulations they'll be written by the firms they regulate.
The Korean practice is similar, according to some essay research I did a few years ago: work dangerously hard to get into a good school, then slack off.

It harkens back to the old Chinese system of civil service examinations (copied somewhat in Korea at least), which were extremely intense and basically the gateway to your future prospects
Possible reasons were discussed in https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/backgroundbrie... (transcript coming later AFAICT). Basically: libertarians and tobacco lobby groups.
Literally to post this comment, I got a, "We cannot serve requests that quickly please try again in a moment" message. Completely unnecessary in 2019, given how simple this site (as a concept) is.

That's a ratelimiting function to stop spammers and such. No one is questioning the ability of the servers to handle much higher request rates.

"I hate change" <- basically the summary of this submission, and kind of sad.

It's "I hate useless change". What's sad about that?
I just opened a jar of curry sauce with an expiry date of 2018. I get it, the manufacturer doesn't want to deal with any potential liability, but otherwise this sauce is perfectly fine even when expired for over a year. Throwing food away just because the date says so, has always seemed crazy to me.
I feel like the uses of labels they are discussing might be served by considering a “dispose of after” or “safe until” date.
So, do a cost benefit analysis of whether it’s worth it to go out of state and pay twice as much to study that esoteric subject? You seem to be implying that students in those situations have no choice but to take on more debt, which seems to be a recurring theme in a lot of these threads, but they do.

Or, they can live at home and go to a local community college for the first two years to take the general reqs, and finish up at that expensive 4 year school. A few of my friends did that and saved quite a lot.
Even if they were the same project it wouldn't matter, because the promise is that your completely statically-linked binary will continue to work without recompilation on tomorrow's kernel if it works on today's.
It's unclear when it happened. 12 hours ago or 12 days ago?

If CBP is concealing information for a long time - this will certainly cause lots of negative grief amplified by press.
I perform with and breath fire as a hobby. The single biggest risk to firebreathers isn't burns, but chemical pneumonitis, due to fuel inhalation (basically synthetic mineral oil with chain lengths 12-18). Took one look at that xray and thought, "yup, chemical pneumonitis" [1]. Also known as lipoid pneumonia.

In my research, one finding that stuck out [2] was that natural oils (triglycerides, saturated or unsaturated) are more pro-inflammatory than straight-chain mineral oils. MCT oil would absolutely cause acute inflammation and in severe cases, collapse of alveoli.

However, the long chains, longer than C14, have half-lives measured in months to years. The effects of these is harder to know, but excessive exposure causes essentially COPD.

Edit: oh look, here's an article specifically pointing out lipoid pneumonia [2]. I actually disagree with their thesis, that vegetable glycerine is causing the inflammation. I would bet it's more likely to be one of these thickeners, or a carrier agent for a flavor, causing the inflammation. I know people who go through over an ounce per day of VG solution that aren't getting chemical pneumonitis, but inhalation of sub-milliliter amounts of oils has sent friends of mine to the hospital.

Basically, if it's not air, it doesn't belong in your lungs. However, the degree and character of the damage done depends on the chemical composition.

Shorter molecules, molecules with more hydrophilic nature (alcohols, polyols, ketones, acids), biologically active molecules, are more acutely inflammatory, but usually the body can deal with them. Longer molecules, biologically inert ones, are less acutely reactive to the immune system, but can cause disruption of membranes and long term toxicity. Unsaturated fatty acids are especially bad because they can be oxidized directly into inflammatory signal chemicals. [4]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_pneumonitis

[2] pdf - https://www.ajronline.org/doi/pdf/10.2214/AJR.09.3040

"Mineral oil (a mixture of inert, long-chain, saturated
hydrocarbons obtained from petroleum) and
vegetable-based oils tend to cause minimal to
mild inflammatory reactions (Fig. 3). The intraalveolar oils can coalesce in the alveoli and
become encapsulated by fibrous tissue, resulting in a nodule or mass (paraffinoma) (Fig. 4).
Conversely, animal fats are hydrolyzed by
lung lipases into free fatty acids that trigger
a severe inflammatory reaction that manifests
as focal edema and intraalveolar hemorrhage
[5]. "

"unsaturated fatty acids can be oxidized in a tightly regulated and specific manner to generate either potent pro-inflammatory or pro-resolving lipid mediators. "
I don't like that word, 'cool'. Everyone uses it for everything--meaningless. Cool died September 28, 1991 in Santa Monica, CA.
To me, this is the most interesting part:

[..]Despite the minor sentence, Garcia Zarate's attorneys claimed that he never actually possessed the weapon in a legal sense when he fired it then threw it in the ocean, according to San Francisco Chronicle.

The 1st District Court of Appeals ruled Friday that the conviction should be overturned because the judge did not give the jury proper instructions on the possession charge, according to NPR.[..]

I feel like this case jumped the shark in the courts. It seemed to me that this was no longer an immigrant/homicide case, but one about second amendment/gun possession.

The whole thing is intriguing to me. From how to interpret the law and the case that is being presented.
I've built clone PCs since the early 80's, and worked at Egghead Software in San Jose as an assistant manager in high school. I remember the Fry's grocery store and the original Sunnyvale Fry's way back and the multitude of independent shops, WeirdStuff Warehouse, MicroCenter, Central Computer, JDR Microdevices, Pixel USA (did a lot of business with Tony). There were a zillion independent shops' ads listed in Computer Shopper (it was a good 1.5" / 4 cm thick).

CompUSA (a big, hypermart-style tech and electronics retailer) came in and killed Egghead (the shops were just too small to compete) and most other mom & pop's; I was there at the closing firesale. And later Comp USA also succumbed. Fry's was more of a pseudo-flea-market with cheezy looking price signs, and full-page ads in the San Jose Mercury News... their big draw was the Black Friday deals where people line up like people line up at Walmart.

Nowadays: NewEgg, PriceWatch.com, FindChips, OctoPart, Halted (HSC), AliExpress, eBay, Amazon

I wonder what sort of shift happened in recent history such that S Africa is now a region where “electricity supply is erratic or non-existent.”
Some of it is that people want fresh fruits and vegetables to be available. They buy these things fully intending to cook with them, or have their kids eat them, in the next few days/week, but then life happens, other things come up, and they sit out of sight in the fridge until they go bad.
So it's the lack of services that's causing suffering, not the services themselves? That makes more sense, but then your protests should be directed at the US government, which created the sanctions.
AC units (especially window units) can produce mold. It's a serious problem that is often overlooked. People should check the air they are breathing, especially while sleeping. Some molds are exceptionally toxic.
Yes it does. Like I said in my first comment, I have to click it every time I load gmail, because "Set basic HTML as default view" is gone.

It’s very cool to see how you can do the whole thing with constexpr now. As I recall, people really didn’t like using the preprocessor!

>Perhaps, but the interesting part for me was the historical background (small as it was). What I suppose I'm saying is that in this particular instance I didn't mind that I took the bait. A bit better than "Unix sysadmins don't want you to know this one weird trick!" or "You'll never believe what the RC in .bashrc stands for!" at least.

You're literally saying you're okay with clickbait removing four words and an exclamation point.
