I don't have any advice for you, but I just want to say good for you for taking this step and seeking help with this. You can do it. Thanks for sharing your personal life with us. It is inspiring for other people battling their own troubles, such as myself, who are still afraid to start seeking help from others.
I'll do no such thing. Someone else made a mistake and therefore I have to pay a lawyer to fix it? It's not a legitimate debt, but it goes to show how anyone can put anything in anyone's file and these information brokers will suck it up and pass it around without even the most basic sanity checks. The FCRA was a good start but an American GDPR would be better.
Does not seem surprising, cities are expensive places to live and millennials probably can't afford it yet.
Rather than pull up the specific data regarding US/UK/Canada, I'll just reply with a link to a general overview of how free (but rationed) government provided health care compares to what exists in the USA:

If you look at [0], It looks like the parent is right.

> However, the PISA’s results are drastically over simplified. For instance, as noted in a report by Dr. Martin Carnoy of Stanford and Richard Rothstein of the Economic Policy Institute, American students actually perform better than the much higher ranked Finland in algebra in general, but worse in fractions. More importantly, when you normalize the results between the countries, adjusting for the relative poverty of the students taking the PISA tests, the U.S performs significantly better, ranking 6th in reading and 13th in mathematics, a drastic jump in both categories.

> Dr. Carnoy and Rothstein further note in their report What Do International Tests Really Show About U.S. Student Performance? that when you divide the kids based on family wealth, the actual gap in performance isn’t so stark between any country, with a not insignificant portion of the ultimate ranking of each nation being based on how many impoverished vs. middle class vs. wealthy students are taking the tests.

I notice some comments about likely astroturfing on the post. I'm curious, what are Hacker News's opinions on it? Is it just a necessary evil of using the platform, or a plague that should be fought against?

If a random PBH of 9mm traveled at near light speed through Earth, would it even pull anything into the event horizon that is not within close range of that 9mm diameter?

For example, it travels through Earth and then leaves a 9mm hole throughout the planet.
Banks are an important conduit to financing oil and gas projects, but the banks themselves are not significant investors, so this “death sentence” narrative is nonsense

A gradual carbon tax, that starts out at a level that’s politically acceptable, and grows to become massive, is what’s needed

> Around 130 international banks, all present at the UN climate change summit in New York, have committed themselves to decrease their support and investments in the oil and gas sector the coming years.

That's exactly the issue. Women ages 21-28ish are pursued by men ages 21-35ish. So there's more men chasing a smaller number of women.

According to their FAQ their accreditation seems to be some sort of "incubation program". https://www.makeschool.com/computer-science-degree/faq

It seems like much of what I would call fundamental in a CS degree is integrated into projects in their curriculum. I mean I get that they call it "applied" but a CS major with a data science specialization that doesn't seem to have dedicated statistics courses for example? I'm really wondering what kind of graduate that produces.

Aside: Is this weird income share agreement model common in the US at this point?

Edit: found a seemingly non-ad interview on the accreditation and incubation period https://www.wscuc.org/news/wscuc-incubation-policy-supports
I thought babies produced more lactase (lactose-digesting enzyme) anyway, even for people (and ethnic groups) with lactose intolerance in adulthood? Human breastmilk contains lactose - so the body expects to have to break it down at that age.

(I'd have thought any preference for goat's milk over cow's would be connected to the protein it contains.)

Right, so once you start "aligning goals", the concept of power and power itself just snaps out of existence, and the contributor ceases to be a human being and transcends into a divine roadmap.

WASC (which accredits Stanford, UC Berkeley, etc) approved the 2 and 2.5 year degree plans totaling 124 credit hours. It's do-able, just took some creative problem solving :)

We don't have a traditional summer break, so that's a big part. And we have course material that enables students to get credit during their internship or first job (which some students will do after completing all other courses).
Nobody owes me anything; but (single, lonely, would-really-like-a-partner) women might have a responsibility to strike up a conversation with somebody, somewhere, some of the time. Like a “good deed for the day” sort of thing, but a “fearless attempt to satisfy one’s own desires of-the-day” sort of thing. (Sort of in the mould of Rejection Therapy?)

Though I would say, since a lot of the reason women don’t seem to hit on men comes down to inculcated social anxiety from being raised to view strangers as unpredictable scary people who can only mean harm (a view which sticks around even in adulthood, long after it’s “helpful”; a view that boys seem to get along just fine never being burdened with), maybe the real responsibility here is on parents to... not do that. If that’s the case, I don’t know what to suggest for the generations of women that exist right now and have already been screwed up by being raised this way. (What do you do for the adults who were victims of foot-binding as children? Their feet just are that way now. And these women’s brains just are this way now, too.)

Nextcloud. Has windows, Linux and iOS clients.

Also integrates with Files on iOS, and has camera-upload which works better than Dropbox.

Best switch I ever made.
> People expressing different perspectives and influencing decisions isn't an absolute good.

I would say it is, as long as they're being honest (even if you judge their honest position to be wrong).
Probably not. It would be something that would likely have to be observed over multiple complete orbital cycles and basically somebody basically run into it by accident. By which, of course, the earth in this hypothetical, would be long dead.
The article does not offer counter-arguments to balance its own hypothesis. It uses FUD profusely, including threats on "global security", and has a click-bait title: the $47T is the combined assets of the banks pledging to align with the Paris agreement.

Yes, the oil and gas industry has rolling financial needs and we can't just stop depending on fossil from one day to the next, but it's all about creating a new ethical baseline where the planet, and not short term economic gains, become the priority.

The fate of fossil fuels has to follow what happened to slavery around 150-200 years ago. Back then slavery was also a huge economy that was considered absolutely crucial for making the world go 'round, but humanism became the baseline, changing how society perceived enslavement of human beings. Abolitionist laws were enacted and conflict followed, including long and bloody wars sponsored by the affected (land)owners and their partisans. I hope that's not the case now.
Shortcuts in general are nice, particularly now that they can be conversational. Hey Siri log... lets me easily log my weight, water and caffeine intake just by speaking. I already had shortcuts to do those through tapping, but the easier I can make things to do the more likely I'll do them.

Another I have is "Hey Siri, heading home" which texts my wife my ETA and starts my last played podcast.

I see plenty of kids here not caring about the climate at all, goaded by popular media portraying it all as one big hoax or as a big complot against them 'enjoying' consumerism to the full.

Sure, the impacts will only get worse, so logically the young should from a pure selfish point of view be more concerned. In practice I don't think age is the principle component separating those who care from those who do not.
I just created a Paper document on my Dropbox account and then viewed it on another account. As best I can tell, Dropbox saying there is a notification is a lie.

I did not get a visible notification when creating it although there may have been one buried under some links or button. Paper documents are publicly editable by default if you have the url.

I got no notification when viewing it from a different user. I used the public link to do so and could see the identities of other viewers.
Essentially any kind of state secrets, propaganda (in athoritorian countries is a must), promises of candidates, rallies in support of anything... list goes on.
This article presents one interpretation, and a strongly biased one at that. Although the headline is generally right when interpreted loosely, the text is scare mongering to try to give readers talking points on oil's side.

>Removing financial support for hydrocarbon companies will put a major bomb under the future of emerging economies. ... affecting the global economy ... blah blah

As the investment swings from oil and gas to renewables, the emerging economies can also pick up use of renewables. There is no rule saying they are not allowed to do so. But the writer of this article pretends that cannot happen.

Sure, the oil and gas crutch will be needed at first, but it can be phased out eventually, and doing so will create a huge boom in development of renewable technologies that will provide plenty of economic stimulus to replace the destructive money that was being dumped into the oil and gas money fire.
Well, I can pick up women in bars you would not believe it. I could just tell a story from last week. Even I don't believe it. :-)

But online dating is tricky. There may be people who can pull it off but for me the real world is easier. Also many women look good on pics but the pics are old or photoshopped.

> Yes, but many European countries engage in so-called tracking of students, putting them in separate tracks for tradeswork, skilled labor, and university such that the "dumb" ones aren't taking university entrance exams.

Not at all, this is largely false.
22 percent of Norway's GDP and 67 percent of their exports are oil and gas. That's a petrostate.
I get quite a few daily follow requests on TikTok by women who are seeking a relationship. As I'm already happily married I don't respond, but its a big ego boost for me, and is reassuring that if my current relationship ever went south, I still have some attraction.

As I understand it, the opposition to the TMT isn't a NIMBY issue: it's more about a historically ignored group trying to gain influence over issues it cares about.
Because I'm selfish, diving was one of my first thoughts. "I use this all the time!" Context only counts for a time. My wife reminded men of one of her favorite childhood books that has "queer" in the title. It wasn't a slur, it was a synonym for "odd." Then came the 90s and later and "queer" was mostly used as a slur. Then to LGBTQ community took it as their own. It's nearly off limits for the rst of us because saying "how queer" has to be followed by "I mean odd, not a mean way to reference homosexuals." (Is that even the right way to reference people now? I can't track all the variants of binary/sis/etc.)
I totally agree, a prime example of projection.
It's good that they can voice their opposition. It's bad to you that they're opposing progress according to your definition of progress. There is a distinction.

The other side of this is that there is an element of obstructionism built into the model of democracy. Too much process, back and forth, judge-intervention, lawsuits, counter-lawsuits, voting and representation, etc. It would be ideal if we simply allowed everyone to vote on it, and go with the majority outcome.
Your last impression, if true, would come as a great surprise to me. I would check but I'm literally in a Econ PhD class right now.
If a proper engineering education can't compete or find a niche against people with a tradesman-style education, what's the value that a proper engineer education (or people who have one) brings to the table? What's the benefit in holding people back because they didn't go to school as long as you if they can do the job sufficiently well?
>This perfectly summarizes a frail old media trying to survive against a vibrant uncontrolled new media.

You seem to have this idea of "old" media being a bunch of out of touch old people typing on typewriters and using rotary phones, and "new" media being hip punk kids sticking it to the man with their dank memes and irony, but this is a myth. They're the same thing now. Old media transitioned into the new media landscape years ago, the web and sites like 4chan haven't been something only young people understand for a long time (if that was ever the case) and new media is controlled by many of the same old media interests.
How Language Shapes Password Security
This telescope moves the sensor head across the surface, changing the actual angle of the observation. The big poles around it are what suspends the head over the surface. It has actually a huge angle of observation. According to WP, 60° in its small 200 m aperture and 26.4° in its 300m aperture.
I took your comment to mean, and I agree, that progress is subjective. For example if I oppose mining pits which utilize child labor, I would effectively be opposing the progress of technology which require the rare minerals that come out of them. Still progress though.

I've been using Nextcloud for a few years and it's great. The catch is that it's self-hosted so you'll have to get a VPS or have a Raspberry Pi lying around that you want to use for it. Setting up the server takes about 10 minutes if you're a technical user. It's just "sudo snap install Nextcloud" then some additional LetsEncrypt settings if you want SSL. I'll admit it's not a good solution for non-technical users who aren't familiar with the command line.

However, multiple users can use the same server, so you can set it up once and share it with family members. You (the server admin) have full control over your data, so it won't be parsed and collected by third parties. It's also FOSS. There exist sync clients for all desktop and smartphone operating systems as well as a web interface for everything else.

Another issue. When setting time of day you can choose says, but unlike Apple Calendar or any third party calendar app like Fantastical, you can't set custom. Such as Repeat Monday and Wednesday every 2 weeks, etc. Everytime I get excited to use Shortcuts I see seemingly small but major issues that prevent from creating the desired workflow, so end up giving up. Since when it was owned by Workflow had hopes little things like that would get resolved quickly, with Apple, assume if its not part of the first release most likely won't be fixed until next year as a 'feature'.
This works really well.
An earth’s mass black hole has a ~1cm sized event horizon. It would suck up matter several times that, but it’s not enough to gain significant mass relative to it’s size on a single pass. This stays true as you scale things down.

Something in the 10^12 kg range is going to have an atomic scale event horizon so it’s not picking up significant mass as it shoots through the earth.
Well, why would I want a partner with the same interests? To share one or two, great. But I can learn much more from a person that is very different compared to me.

This is why I think this clustering based on interests was always bullshit on dating sites. And this is why people use Tinder now.
>First off, why wait until we have an actual emergency to test out a theory?

I think the theory is deflection of this object from its orbit could have all sorts of unintended consequence like a domino effect that cause either a chain reaction of events that lead this object or others on a collision course with Earth.
Ummm average to cute to hot women yes. Though those women who fall below that threshold or further are not having any fun or getting same amount of love. I have some female friends who just gave up yet all their long term relationships they've had happened via the offline world.

Also Almost Every guy here is complaining about dating apps not working... I ask them how many women did you say nope to? Meaning we all are too damn picky ..men and women equally.
Well, HN includes the source site along with the title, so that context isn't really missing. At least it does for me. E.g., the line on the HN page appears as:

> What the Apps That Bring Food to Your Door Mean for Delivery Workers (nybooks.com)

But in any case, the idea that a headline ought to include all the context is a hopeless one.
I think that's why we're seeing increasing popularity of Stoicism and blogs like Mr. Money Mustache. Do we really need all this junk? How is it, that nothing is left over from such huge amounts of prosperity that is just falling in our laps. Why do we have to keep buying more and more junk?

Hey @jgrahamc, just a heads-up, the output of the curl request in the "Using curl" section is not up to date:

It depends on your criteria, but if you're looking for a well-supported, vBulletin-ish forum (focus on being a forum first-and-foremost, similar visual style, similar extensibility system) then XenForo is a very good candidate. If I didn't have a lot of time invested in my vBulletin setup (customization), I would go with them. For now, vBulletin works for me.

Interesting, but reads a bit like a bad Tom Clancy novel that I read when I was around 12.

I think that "hacking a human" as they described it was the most likely vulnerability. Interesting to see that ISIS actually seem to have a decent infrastructure. From media reports you would believe that they are mainly some barbarians that may have or may have not access to electricity, never mind net access.

That aside: NPR offering a plain text site is just awesome. Found that nearly by accident since I just wanted to accept that damn cookies.
