My statement is intended to be an isomorph of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21026594 with a different emphasis. I'm sorry you found it confusing, but it is absolutely responsive, and I resent your accusation that it isn't. If you want to be helpful in the future, you could explain what about it you find confusing, and maybe the person you're responding to could clarify whatever point was previously unclear.
While I think everyone can benefit from therapy, that tagline "Bummed out by the world and their role in it, tech workers are seeking help — and founding some start-ups along the way." seems a little off. I thought it was due to stress of working not being bummed out by being near the top of the financial ladder relative to the rest of the world and having flexible jobs.

Taken to the extreme, yes. If enough banks do it, the reason for bailout is called "too big to fail".
The cost to move atoms and bits everywhere in the world is near zero.

This means that you could be the best in your field for hundreds of miles around, but your neighbors might still go on Amazon and order a product manufactured in China.

The claim that Snowden is a traitor is inseparable from the idea that the government and the people are separate entities, so that it's possible to betray one in service of the other. In that world Snowden would be a traitor to the US and everybody else at the NSA would be a traitor to the people. Obviously such a thing is only possible if democracy breaks down to the point where the government no longer expresses the will of the people, and if that is happening anywhere, it's happening in the high clearance world where voters never get to see whether or not they're happy with what's going on.
We're pretty fucked up over here in the West, but I can say "We're pretty fucked up over here in the West" and no one is going to put me in prison for it, eh?
I think I saw them at Costco too... but for whatever reason there weren’t demo machines? I saw the inventory but couldn’t play with them. And/or they were fully neutered or couldn’t get logged-in to.

I have a Fry’s and a MicroCenter not too far away. Will give it a shot.

I don’t think I could ever abandon OS X because so many of my tooling depends on it... but I’ve always wanted to try daily driving a Linux machine. Haven’t done it since high school.
Understanding the fundamentals is indeed very important. Not that you need to be an expert in it, but knowing basic concepts is extremely helpful for troubleshooting, and I would argue is the thing that makes the difference between a junior and senior person.

I don’t use most of the fundamentals I learned in school directly on a daily basis, but I do use them almost every day to inform the decisions I make about higher level things.

Does anyone have a local proxy that can do this instead? I am aware of GlimmerBlocker, but would love to hear broader feedback on the topic.
Don't be absurd. I'm not claiming that I created the movie, just that one physical copy. Obviously the abstract pattern of bits comprising the movie existed beforehand—but that bit pattern isn't property, and even if it were treated as such it isn't affected in any way by my actions. It was my labor which caused my computer to encode that pattern into my own storage medium to create the copy, and it is that act involving only my own labor and property for which the copyright holder is demanding payment.
What time-frame are you basing your premise on? In the next decades up to half a century it is very unlikely for the geopolitical situation to change much, especially their geography. Granted, there will be coastal changes worldwide. In the next few centuries though things will naturally change, empires do rise and fall and it is quite hard to speculate that far. Who knows, maybe China or US or Russia may not even exist then in the shape and form they are now.
Probably more than a "few" I think that you will be looking at 5-7 for the cars to fall to under a third of new value. Although that depends on your definition of "a few"* I guess.

Well, I guess "privileged upbringing" plays better than "broken home". A privileged upbringing can bring name recognition and its advantages, but I didn't know that it led to this.
The US is getting the ID.4 which is a compact crossover about the size of the Tiguan. It should look like their Crozz concept and should be revealed in February.

The President of VW USA gave an interview recently stating the reason why we aren't getting the 3. One segment sells 60,000 cars the other sells 5 million. I think the ID.3 could sell great here and capture a lot more consumers than the typical market segment. Oh well.
You can try Matecat[0] or Smartcat[1]. Both are free.

Matecat revenue model appears to be offer translation service (each time you open a file to edit it, it creates a quote to translate it for you). You can also install it self-hosted (it is open source). The owner is an Italian translation agency called Translated.

Smartcat revenue model is to become a payment gateway. If you choose to pay your outsourced translations through them, you essentially receive one single invoice from them and they take care of paying your resources. This can be useful if you have very small translation tasks with many people.

So Smartcat offers you a free platform hoping that you choose to do your vendor payments through them. The owner is the Russian software company ABBYY.

I agree with the guy above you; the results of their hypothesis were already very well known. Everyone realizes that getting less exercise decreases calories burned in a day. These studies need to start going further in depth than just reading that your health gets worse if you stop exercising.

Well here in America we don't pass regulatory laws until there's a proven solution that has consensus from all parties.
6 years. At my current company you have to demonstrate leadership abilities and also technical ability to get it. It isn't given to people for just existing for a certain amount of time in a specific career. At least not where I work, a lot of places do that which leads to incompetent seniors.
One option I also think we are forgetting, Services like ProtonMail and Tutanota. Both are private and encrypted, both are free (with an option to pay for more services). These services are out there, but general knowledge of them is not so high. I believe more users would switch to them if they knew about them. My own parents came to me asking if there was something they could do after being creeped out/scared by big techs privacy invasive tracking and stalking. They weren't aware of the availability of other services and yet they went looking when it got bad enough. How much sooner for others if they were aware of these alternative services? We could all argue back and forth about both sides, but I believe that both sides would be truly surprised about what would actually happen.

JFYI this "tree" technology of which you speak, can only be deployed at the earth's surface. AFAICT, OP was asking about upper atmosphere, which doesn't mix much with the lower atmosphere. Perhaps trees plus some way to mix the atmosphere?

Also, I believe we were talking about methane - and while these nifty "tree" things appear to sequester CO2, I believe these produce some amount of methane. Again, perhaps pair Trees(tm) with something to address the methane? For example, I've heard about "fire" but unsure if it can be deployed in the upper atmosphere, requires unrealistic concentrations of methane, or whether its outputs and side effects are acceptable.

ha, good. Yes, authorize.net made some things easier, especially around a time when Rails was picking up and a handy ruby gem called activemerchant was available -- going on to power a related/not-related giant, Shopify.
I think a more accurate phrase is "borrowed into existence", which is worse than printing because the balance created charges interest. Printing money directly rather than borrowing it is less inflationary, because more money is needed to service debt.

(This is all bad so I may be splitting hairs, but I would advocate for direct currency printing over this lending scheme if given the chance.)
add up. sorry.
It sounds like you do your best work to impress others. What if you hire a code mentor to review your code every couple weeks? It’s worth $100 if it works.
Interesting. I see about the same on the web sites that I build.

I assumed it was just a fluke because I'm in the healthcare space, and that means lots of iPads and doctors rocking the latest iOS gear. I guess not.

That includes mobile users.

I’d expect there are about 500 hardcore safari fanbois on Mac but everyone else uses it to download a different browser.

The problems with these types of books to me is that the researcher surgically analyizes a tiny part of the whole picture and claims this is the grand solution or something like that.

This book does nothing other than highlight common knowledge but does nothing to show why or how it is that way and what can be done to begin to change it.

Its the equivilant of saying well the reason the timing belt on your car breaks is it is too weak. So I made a 150kg gear system to replace it. "Wont that be too heavy for the engine to turn it?" , "Oh yeah you will have to replace the whole engine and transmission as well." Except in this instance it is all of society and humanity that would have to be changed or replaced.

On example: the reason duct tapers exist is that they handle the exceptions from really, really ,really, really difficult problems to solve that are already partially solved and working good enough.
I actually support anything that makes alcohol harder to get, but I agree it's too soon to draw a conclusion.

I would be interested in seeing if there's been a decline in domestic violence and other forms of crime that have a strong historical relation with alcohol consumption.

My bet is that there's no such evidence.

I'm also curious to see how much variation in deaths there are year over year. Maybe 20% changes aren't uncommon, in which case this study is just picking up noise and no signal.

I'm also curious why they just don't implement a tax instead of minimum pricing, that way they could take that revenue and dedicate it to alcohol-related problems, at least somewhat offsetting the alcohol's cost to society.
>One could say the exact same thing about left-leaning arguments. I frequently see use of population-level trends and statistics to bulldoze over individual experience and variance, which to me screams "hate and lack of empathy."

You could have said that leftists lack empathy for the rich, or white men, or picked any number of common arguments (often spurious) used to discredit the morality of leftist ideology. Mention Mao and Stalin and mass graves - that's a common tactic.

But the use of statistical analysis being exactly as hateful as the racist and anti-semitic dialogue of the extreme right because analyzing trends among populations requires counting people in aggregate?

I mean... that's not even wrong.

Also, I'm pretty sure the extreme right employs the same tactics when trying to argue the inherent differences in IQ between races and genders, or the predisposition of black people towards criminality and violence, or the inherent dangers of multiculturalism or ethnic mixing. I doubt they consider the experience of every individual Muslim before trying to convince people that Islam is a violent religion that cannot coexist with Western democratic values.

So the false equivalence you're trying to draw here just makes the right look even worse. Both sides use statistical analysis to try to prove their point, but only one side is also shooting up synagogues and black churches.
I tend to look at it a bit broader in terms of just using technology.
I think an overall active/creative use of technology can be positive, whether it is creating software, music, art; studying a new subject or simply participating in games and puzzles is somewhat less important I think.

I think mostly passive consumption of technology is where it tends to turn more negative if done excessively. I've never seen much good coming out of excessive consumption of sites like youtube, reddit, news media or anything else of that sort.

I don't consider commenting or liking posts on any media platform to be an active participation btw.
Do they? I've just loaded a gmail email on my phone, it says "This message contains unloaded emails", with an option to load them.
Twitter does not constrain your ability to hold/believe your opinion, merely to express it on their platform (which they own and grant you access under the condition you conform to the rules they apply to everybody).
Trees mostly. Algae has huge potential due to high growth rates. Mechanical or chemical sequestration is unlikely to do anything.
I'm not sure what kind of accountability you're looking for that doesn't already exist.

IC Oversight [1] is a massive and well known program, which requires extensive yearly training from every IC member and even more from supervisors and executives.

The FMV-era is something that's more fun now than it was in the 90's I think; there seems to be a near-endless supply of these low-budget movie games, and the combination of terrible acting, cheap special effects, and over the top writing actually makes them incredibly fun to play on a so-bad-its-good level.

Honestly, even Thunder in Paradise has its moments if you play it with a group of friends to laugh at. As somewhat of a bad-movie lover, I actually have a more modern appreciation for the crap on the CD-i.
That's what a lease is for. Many rental leases are a "fixed price" for 1 year. If, during that time period, there is a large acceleration in rental prices, it is an individual's responsibility to be aware of those consequences and plan accordingly. Unfair? Well, yes, it is. But if rental prices are rising quickly, why is that? Usually one reason is because there are others coming into the market who are paying substantially more. Should they be disallowed from renting that place? Is that fair?

The same individual responsibility for the rental price is on the landlord. If prices rise substantially during their renter's lease period, the landlord is going to pay attention to that. If the rental market increases only a little bit, it is not uncommon for landlords to leave the rental price more or less the same when there is an upcoming lease renewal because it is often more of a hassle (and a risk) to jack the price up, potentially piss off the renter, then they move out, and the landlord now has the new hassle and risk of finding a new renter and possibly going one or more months without revenue.

But in cases where rents rise, say 25% or more in a 1-year lease period, what should a landlord do? Not raise the price for his renter? Leave that money on the table? Or raise the price, run the risk that the current renter cannot afford it, and they either move out or pay.

I'm basically describing normal market behavior. And I think this discussion often devolves into what we often deem to be our "rights" as people. We see the same discussions occurring with healthcare, too, and there are pieces of that applying to housing as well. Renters cannot easily "control" what happens to their supply/demand of rental housing units in their area but when there are large swings, how much "protection" from those swings are people really entitled to?

Perpetual rent controls seem awfully unfair, in my view. There has to be at least some form of rent price adaptation that allows a rental unit to always converge towards its market price if a renter is already living in it.
I mean they kinda do... Sales tax is on most things and pays for the police.

Be careful when comparing EU prices to US prices: EU prices always include sales tax (varies by country, but 20% in France and 19% in Germany), while US prices never include them. Assuming 10% tariffs and 20% sales taxes, that bumps the $35,000 Tesla to $46,200, or about 42,000 EUR.

Indeed the cheapest Model 3 that I could find in France costs 42,600 EUR. If the Volkswagen ID.3 comes in somewhere between 26,000 EUR and 30,000 EUR, it will indeed be quite a bit cheaper.

public safety - China has a clear win. Thanks to the surveillance level and strict gun/drug control, you can walk on the street of any part of any city without having to worry about your safety. I cannot say the same most of the major cities in the US.

However, air pollution, food safety, extremely high competition and fast-pace together make China a quite unattractive place to live and work.
I kind of disagree. Thats why rss failed. It requires the user to set it up before it works. And I may never leave my comfort zone, if setting up what to follow is my choice. I dont know what I dont know. If I dont know the experts to follow, guiding me to choose experts seems silly. Just do it for me. Let the experts pick the other experts.

There is a huge benefit to everybody in a community seeing the same page. Whether its hckrnews, drudge report, front page of wsj, if everybody sees the same page, there is a social water cooler effect of "hey did you see" "yeah."

I just think with the "infinitely customized to you" we are trapping people in a constant cycle of always consuming more of the same, while also fragmenting our sense of community and identity. We get stuck in the filter bubbles we choose. These two articles combined together make me feel trapped.

It seems melodramatic to me. And these abnormal changes can be mitigated by walking those 10,000 steps a day they reduced their activity by. That requires a conscious effort, but it's not an onerous burden.
Are you really, 100% honest with your spouse, as in "I think I might have watched too much porn" or "I just can't stand our child, I think he's ugly and spoilt, sometimes I wish we didn't have any", or "I really don't fancy you anymore, I'm thinking about having an affair"...?

I would assume most people are not that candid with their partners, but that's the sort of thing you can discuss with a therapist.

Sorry for the delayed response. I'm fairly sure firmware updates happened automatically through update-manager. But at the time I had it set up so I had to initiate all updates so it wouldn't be fully automatic. You can turn them off. That firmware is issue currently resolved. I had to use an external monitor for months. But that glue problem is still there.
You can build bigger, more efficient turbines offshore, and the winds are stronger and more reliable, so offshore being inherently more expensive isn’t actually a solid assumption. All the more so if you include the costs of integrating the generation into the grid.

The value of boredom cannot be overstated.

The "always on" culture that has become prevalent in the past decade has, in my opinion, contributed greatly rising angst/anxiety/stress.

We don't give our brains any time to rest anymore. Most people start and end the day by injecting thousands of images, words, and ideas into their thoughts via screens with no time to process and "clear the queue" so to speak.

I've start implementing "nothing" days once every two to three weeks. These days are spent with absolute 0 screen time. At first it was extremely difficult to detach, but after the first couple hours of the day, I start to feel more centered and at ease. Reading, talking, getting out of the house, sitting on a park bench, visiting a museum, investing time in a hobby - all these things help remind me WHY I spend so many waking hours working and being connected.

I won't ever advocate for the complete removal of technology from all aspects of life. But, as in all things, boundaries are very important.
