It’s a straw man to suggest I don’t care about the crime. I would argue that our current system attempts to be “class blind” at various steps (notably, not when setting bail) but fails miserably. This case is a perfect example. Same with the lack of prosecutions from banking scandals after 2008 crash.

As for why the gnashing of teeth now? I know I’ve personally been aware of the details of Epstein’s case for years, but you sound like a crank when you show people photos of a pedophile’s weird temple and rant about all of the names in his flight logs. Why now for Cosby? Or Weinstein?

Perhaps it’s finally in the air that these men should be held accountable, perhaps to an even higher standard, for their abuse of power.

As for university funding... don’t get me started! Also can we start examining Kissinger and the other criminals employed by Harvard? The ivy institutions have decades old ties to the intelligence community. (Though it does sort of make sense to learn about the history of US plunder throughout the world from the people on the front lines... ok I’m starting to sound like a crank...)
It will use more on MacOS and Windows than on Linux, as it needs to use a sidecar Linux "Moby" VM to run containers. In practice on Windows, this hasn't been an issue for me (64GB RAM in my dev laptop).

This will actually finally change soon'ish with Windows at least, I think as part of WSL2. Not sure if anything is going to change on MacOS.
I was discussing the exact same question with some friends the other day. Do we all naturally have these intrusive, power fantasy thoughts (but just don't have the means or will to act on them), or are the rich and powerful more predisposed to these aberrant behaviours (see the link between success in the modern world and psychopathy)? Or perhaps some third hypothesis?

Unless HTML6 happens and is adopted, which I doubt, calling it HTML5 is just kind of pointless; I really don't care if people say HTML5, but I say HTML because that's what it is, and adding on '5' doesn't provide any useful information since all browsers support HTML version 5 by default and without the need to specify it.

I have a picture of me at age 4 on the wall behind my computer, out camping. I've got a stick. To this day, when walking through the woods, I see a stick and think, "Hmm, that's a pretty good one, might pick that up."

I have always just assumed, once being boys, that other men understood that the allure of a weapon, even just a stick, is so instinctive that we all understood it intrinsically.

This question is a bit vague. What treatments do you want? Do you have information indicating that better treatments or cures exist than what’s being offered to you? What specific obstacles are you encountering in trying to access those treatments?

I think that you are speaking of a logical tautology, while I am speaking of a linguistic tautology. If I am correct about this, we are both right.

A logical tautology is, "A statement that is true by necessity or by virtue of its logical form."

A linguistic tautology is, "A phrase or expression in which the same thing is said twice in different words."

In formal debating, for example, you can call someone out for either type of tautology.
The Daily Beast reported that Acosta told the Trump transition team that he had struck the plea deal because he "was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and he should lay off." While on some level I agree with you that this is the more fundamental and important source of rot and corruption that needs to be excised, it's also the case that many different institutions at all levels of society took part in creating Jeffrey Epstein and they should all be held to account.

Maybe people are just hungry for a "win" here and the MIT Media Lab is an easier/weaker target than the CIA or Mossad. I'd feel bad for them if their behavior in this saga hadn't been utterly reprehensible and telegraphed at so many points that they knew what they were doing was wrong.
From the attacker's twitter account, just read through his/her twitter replies (though it sounds like it's actually a group of them).
Has there ever been a breaking change approved by the IETF? I'm not familiar enough with their history to know of precedence. It seems like the spec/standard should be approved at least before we go about asking developers to incur hundreds of millions of dollars in updates so their sites continue working in Chrome.

Ironically, this breaks CSRF protection in OIDC authentication systems (except Google, since they don't implement the form_post standard).

The single thing that bothers me most about goodreads is that they’re owned by a bookseller, the have a list of 200 books I’ve read, and every month they email me promoting romance novels, bestsellers and books about america culture. The one I just checked includes an advertisement for dresses (I’m male) If they would literally just list new releases by authors I’ve read it would be 100% more useful.

Except that, if you think about it, every sentence in a well-written man page was put there by an absolute expert in the tool who thought you might need to know it. If you want to master your tools, it's absolutely not a waste of time to read the friendly manual. When you use a system professionally every day and refuse to read the manuals because it takes too long, and you're in way too much of a hurry, you're only hurting yourself in the long run.

You're probably going to notice the time you spend reading man pages, when you just! want! to! get! something! done! And that's frustrating. What you're less likely to notice is the next five times you reach for the wrong tool, or have to go hunting around for some bubble-gum-and-twine way to do something, because you didn't previously read the man page that tells you exactly what you needed to know to do it easily and correctly.

Not exactly. The moneyed interest is in driving dollars to the things that they invested heavily in, and need to get that money back. They paid big bucks for a book they expect to be a bestseller, they want attention on that book. So there’s no incentive to drive attention to the little books.
Based on past performance there is a strong case for skepticism of <insert psychological theory, psychometric test, or treatment here>. The brain is perhaps the most complex structure in the known universe.

In addition psychedelics are a notoriously YMMV thing. It's not like you take LSD and get a deterministic result. Every individual will have an individual experience and some can be quite negative. I have known people who had life changing positive experiences and really negative experiences that left them with PTSD-like symptoms. Set and setting matter a lot but so does the pre-existing content of your brain and I suspect your biology.

It’s rather hard to score programming languages isn’t it? Especially in any form that’s generally meaningful.

If you look at HN you’d think Go and Rust were actually very popular. If I look at the job agents for my country though, there has been one job listing Go and Rust in 2019 and that was under “nice to have” on a C++ job at Google. On the flip-side of this, if you looked at my local job market the list would only contain JAVA, C# and PHP. Well and JavaScript, but that’s typically in the “nice to have” section because no one uses it full stack and it’s easy to learn. If you looked in your area it might be Ruby and Swift.

Python always have massive stats, but around here 80% of the Python jobs aren’t for CS majors but rather for mathematicians and political scientists.

I wonder what these lists are even for. Some of the best paying programming jobs are for COBOL and it’s never in the top 10, if it’s even in the top 100.
For me, the window containing that message has a "close" icon at the top right, and then I can read the article.

If you don't have a similar close icon I'd be interested in seeing a screenshot of what you can see.

I have no love for Medium, but so far I've been able to read everything, so I'd be interested to see how my experience differs from yours.
I live in SF and work in Civic Center. Not long ago I attended to a guy who was OD'ing on the sidewalk, and a number of things about the experience surprised me. I called 911 when the guy started seizing. He stopped breathing but still had a decent radial pulse, and I was surprised that the 911 operator wanted me to start chest compressions nonetheless. I was doubly surprised that the operator wanted me to stay on the phone while I did it, which is basically impossible. I just said "I know how to do it I'm putting the phone down." As I was doing it I yelled for Narcan and the junkies on the block immediately leapt into action trying to find some. Eventually somebody came by with some and set about giving him an IM injection. I thought, "I don't know if that needle is clean but I also don't know when the EMT's will get here so I guess it's better for him to get hep or HIV than for him to die." When the EMT's finally showed (probably quicker than it seemed) the first thing they did was start yelling at everyone, especially the woman with the Narcan. I found it very unprofessional.
The Amazon.com desktop homepage isn't meant to be anything more than a search bar and a billboard. Go look at it.

Now go look at amazon.com on a mobile browser. Very different but still focused on search and (effectively) ads.

Even different still is the Amazon mobile app. Again, prime focus on the search bar and big huge ads.

The reality is that Amazon wants you to use it as a search engine. They now beat Google for all product searches. Everything Amazon.com does basically tells you: "Hey, just use the search bar dummy."

So, whether it's being the top results in Google which they work super hard to be, or making the amazon front ends the place you start searching - they optimize their consumer UI's to focus on getting you to search.
So suppose you met someone who graduated uni a year ago, was working as the sole developer at a non-profit, and wanted to learn to be better at recognising and writing well-structured code. Suppose they then asked you if they should stay at their job or go work for a company where they were working with other software engineers and you said they shouldn't. How would you advise them to develop their sense of good code style?
I'm on mobile so rather than restate I'll just refer to a comment w/ a good link from an earlier discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19624136
I'm not impressed. Philip K. Dick next to Stanisław Lem. The two lived in the same period, and there's a funny anecdote about them (Philip believed Stanisław was invented by communists to trick him, because no single person could be so resourceful. Consequently, Philip K. Dick refused to communicate with Stanisław Lem). But their literature is very different.

Dick's stories are typically short and easy to digest, with fast action. Lem's is ponderous, filled with long sentences and complex ideas. Little is happening.
This site isn't the only source for this information. I've been hearing about China's grey market organ trade and the government's refusal to do anything about it (or possible complicity) for at least a decade. It's clearly real to some extent and you can add it to a long list of human rights abuses perpetuated or permitted by the PRC: racist concentration camps, forced abortions, overt confiscation of successful businesses, real as-in-you-get-arrested censorship, etc.

As far as politics being almost banned on HN: I think it's overall saved the site from being dragged into the alt-right / histrionic-left troll-fest that has eaten massive amounts of the Internet in the last decade. Politics can be interesting if the discussion participants are sane, but political discourse on the Internet seems to have been taken over by absolute raving lunacy (of both "right" and "left" forms) in recent years. A lot of it is driven by 'chan culture and the rest by for-profit professional trolls who have learned you can make money in podcasting and on YouTube by spewing divisive bullshit.

Where I live Sunday is a dead day. People (husbands and wives seem equally qualified somehow) just resort to a super creative workaround: shopping on Saturdays and any other evening when coming back from work. I do most of the shopping on Saturday and any “instant demand” evenings on my way home.

And I was kind of annoyed when I realized how Sunday works here but came to realize other people want their Sundays free and quiet just as I do. Most people who really need to buy whatever on a Sunday would be screaming the loudest if asked to work Sundays.
It's a shame https://telegra.ph doesnt have the ability to save/send yourself an edit link. Being able to only edit your story on the computer you made it on is a big turnoff.
Kind of. A big issue is that drugs make it hard to get back out. Like, say you're a happy/fulfilled/high functioning clean person. Something bad happens (accident/hospitalization, bout of depression, other mental or physical trauma).

In that situation, no matter how fulfilled you might be most of the time, you're at a super vulnerable low point. You feel damaged, like your resiliency is compromised.

Then you take drugs, prescribed or not, while at that low point. Many substances can pattern compulsive, addictive behavior after just weeks of use.

Now you're regularly under the influence of substances that actively oppose your
returning to a fulfilled, resilient lifestyle. Not only do you have to recover from what happened to you, you have to do so while also ceasing use of chemicals that tend to pattern "just do this instead of expending effort on other things" behavior.

True, many people do bounce back. And there are many cases where drugs' side effects are worth it.

But the compounding effect is real, and handwaving it away with "happy, healthy people don't abuse drugs" is missing the point. What if someone takes those drugs during a moment when they're not happy or healthy?

Relatedly, there's a feedback effect here. You know what makes it really, really likely that you'll have an unfulfilled, hard life and feel like you're on the outside of society? Being around people who feel that way, which, as you point out, can often be heavy drug users. Now you have questionable behavior modelling (often starting young) as well as an emotionally unhealthy environment that makes it likely that you won't be resilient to the addictiveness of anything you try.

This applies equally to transgenerational drug abuse and to people who just live in/around communities with lots of drug abuse. If you spend a lot of time in a household/group/community like that, you're more likely to abuse drugs as well* .

This is part of the reason that radical decriminalization programs are great ideas: they focus on improving quality of life and everyday function of drug users with the goal of both reducing immediate likelihood of overdose etc., and of reducing the ingress rate--the number of new users of a given drug.

* This should not be taken as an assertion that drug abuse is the only, or even the primary, reason that people in many communities/groups/households are marginalized and feel unfulfilled, just that it is a single factor with a negative feedback cycle that can be broken.

Edits: grammar, clarified the idea of transient unhappiness.

If you can’t bootstrap engagement with the Kindle integrations, maybe you could bootstrap community/engagement by integrating with public library catalogs and checkout records? Patrons could opt in to sharing their activity automatically and the library website could have update options as part of the checkout management process. Might be a nice little niche entrance into a customer base there.
I am dreading the day when the overhead ads in subway cars are replaced with screens with video ads. Absolutely dreading it.

Right now I can read on the subway. I get a huge amount of reading done commuting to and from work. But soon the colours on my page will change constantly, there will be flickers, smash cuts, flaring and fuck me it will be ruined. Give me the dipshit with the bluetooth speaker forever, I can wear earplugs, but I can't wear eyeplugs.
Maybe. Or maybe liability exists for outside parties in that case: the plumber who was drunk when they put the pipes in, the architect who designed the wall in such a way to force a ton of joints in one weak spot, the building inspector who signed off on it... heck, maybe the water company is causing a water hammer to form because their pumps are busted.

Now if my home owners insurance finds that I flooded the downstairs condo because I fell asleep with the bath running, you bet I’ll pay.

But no matter what, either of your examples have a robust regulatory structure around them in terms of licensing and inspections. That is why liability works - without those structures you can’t say “you fucked up, therefore you pay”.

I’m all for adding liability into the system but if we do we must do it in a way that spreads the burden to the right places (IoT manufacturers, negligent ISPs) and doesn’t push it straight to the consumer.
You've never had to read and understand some data, analyze it, and then communicate your results via written word in your career? I'm totally willing to grant you that the majority of careers do not require this skill but most white collar work does.

What I'm saying is that it's very simple to inspect a car and make sure it's not going to spontaneously catch fire while parked. You can get a reliable answer in a day from a mechanic.

You can't get a reliable answer on whether a computing device is programmed to send malicious packets. There's too much code, most is compiled, there's too many ways to hide it. You can probably gather the smartest people in the world and leave them to die of old age before they can arrive at a reliable answer.

Which is rather silly, since HTML5 isn't "modern" in contrast to a lot of the things we call "modern" in the world of software development. I don't believe there's anyone who honestly thinks of non-modern web technologies when they hear "HTML" without the 5, except maybe someone who hasn't done any web development in over a decade.
