I never eat more than 2 oz of dried noodle. Even Italian recipes call for more than that. But here in the US, when people eat pasta, they tend to do much more of that.
Ugh no please don't think about it! I'm a diver too and had a lovely time teaching my little blonde haired, blue eyed kids all the various hand signals, including this one.

So how about this still means "OK" if you're a normal person and you're not proudly flashing it at the end of a stiff arm in a crowd of skinheads?

Doesn't context count at all?

First many students start collage with a significant number of AP credits. So, I think it’s more 124/8 in 2.5 years.

Second, I pulled 23 credit hours at a regular collage in a normal semester. Keeping that pace for 2 years without break would have caused burnout, but 20 credit semesters * 5 + 12 over summer break * 2 = 124 in 2.5 years.

Thus, doing this at a normal collage is viable assuming schedules work out.

PS: I kind of felt like a slacker at the time because a friend was pulling 18, while keeping a full time job.

The US has far more ethnic diversity than any country that’s at a remotely similar level economically. If you compare the average scores for Americans by race to countries where that race is the majority the US looks pretty great considering it’s 1/20 of humanity, less than ten countries do better at educating White or Asian populations, one does better with Hispanics and US Blacks outscore the only majority Black country that takes part in PISA by a small amount. You see the same dynamic in the US by state.

In any case, RMS effectively got dismissed because of an email on a university-internal mailing list where he tried to defend the honor of a dead friend and colleague in a way that seemed appropriate to him at the time. But the wording triggered the attention of some overly sensitive SJW who decided it's a good enough offence to retaliate against using all the social media power that she could muster.

The "hot ladies" stuff was tacked on later to try to justify the dismissal, as if it's not just the bad (but loud) media coverage that was the actual reason.
The Potential of Information Communication – Information Revolution
Number Theorist Fears All Published Math Is Wrong
“Man” and “woman” are role scripts, i.e. requests to be treated differently in traditions that have those gendered role-slots (e.g. chivalry, weddings, etc.), which society goes along with.

Society is fully willing to dispose of the scripts if you dispose of the gender identity. Just call yourself nonbinary and cultivate an androgynous appearance, and most of (the more cosmopolitan parts of) Western society—including the dating parts!—will literally stop caring about your gender.

(Come to think, I’ve never seen a 100% enby dating app. You could make one where—like France with religion—having a legible gender-presentation would be against the rules!)

It would be doomed to fail. These business models run on VC funny money. They lose millions even when already paying garbage wages to couriers.

Maybe way in the future once automated delivery is much more mature (and cheaper), could a co-op be possible. But we're talking decades later. And also talking about a completely different world by then.

I think postdoc is even better. Bit better pay and academic freedom. You are still somewhat shielded from responsibilities, but you can take that jump if you want to take the initiative.

But no thesis hanging over your head :)
Google should do dating based on people's every day searches...

"Hey, we know you're both single, or at least looking for other partners. You're literally the only two people on earth that share this fascination, everyone else thinks it's weird and creepy. You should chat. Based on the personality profiles we've created for you both based on your search history, we think you'd make an amazing couple."

That could totally disrupt dating, it would be organic in a way that could actually work for relationship longevity and it would be based on things people are actually interested in rather than what they think they should present as being interested in to signal mates. It has the potential to be far more real than dating sites.
I've been looking forward to this feature, but I must say I'm pretty disappointed that most of the personal automations still require a manual approval before they will execute. For example, I can schedule a particular shortcut to always run at a specific time. When that time comes, however, my phone will display a notification which I must physically tap to execute the automation. If I miss the notification, nothing will happen. The same is true for "When I Arrive..." and "When I Leave..." triggers. Which means, often, I'll get a notification in the car, while I'm driving, which I must tap to execute the automation.

I can see why Apple would want to step cautiously with consumer-based automation, but I was really expecting that all of these new automation triggers would fire without needing any manual approval, or at least that there would be a way to configure them to do so.

I have read that you can use a HomePod, Apple TV, or always-plugged-in iPad as a home hub, and my understanding is the triggers offered here will run in a fully automated fashion. I hope to explore that at some point.

Still, I'm very happy to see the progress in Shortcuts, and I expect it will only get better.
I use Resilio Sync. It's not free, but was just a one time payment, not a subscription. Works on macOS, Linux, Windows, and they have an iOS app, too.

Sharing with others is possible, but they have to have the app installed to access the files. Resilion Sync doesn't provide any server through which you can download the files, it's all P2P.
I got a shortcut to log when I've fed my baby, and create a reminder to let me know when he'll start to get hungry again. This way I'm not constantly checking my watch. The best part is that it works with Siri, so I can trigger it with my voice since I won't have a hand free.

This is correct, but also needs to be put into context. You only pay church tax if you are member of one of the churches eligible to collect taxes via the German state tax system. Non-Members don't pay church taxes. So there is again no subsidy involved (except that churces save administration costs because they can use the public tax collection system for free).

You are talking about systemic or inherent value. A tree in the wood capturing carbon and producing oxygen obviously is valuable to us all. They are talking about economic value. How can a spcific economic actor make money from transactions associated with that tree.

A common mistake. In a neoliberal market economy nothing has value unless it can be arbitraged. For 'natural' products that means that unless someone can prevent 'free' consumption of that benefit, and contain and charge for access to that benefit, there is no value.

I don't think there is anything actually happening here.

IF (and it's a big IF) financing for oil and gas projects was reduced, that might increase the price, or at least make the price more volatile as supply couldn't be increased quickly when demand increases. This would be offset by the fact that as a self financing industry outside finance is more about managing capital costs than supplying it. It's also worth noting that supply is at least partly controlled politically (by Opec and the Saudis etc), not by actual availability. You might stop all new developments and investment and still find the price falling if the Saudi's decide to turn on the tap.

And it will be very very difficult to actually reduce the supply of capital to oil and gas companies: many are state funded and new ventures are among those most likely to receive state funding. Add to that that money is fungible: you might think your buying Walmart bonds, but then you find out Walmart used the money to lend $1bn to Exonn and suddenly you funded oil and gas exploration without knowing it. You need basically EVERYONE to agree to stop, as long as one bank/hedge fund/Private Equity firm/Big Corporation will still take this business it will continue (and that firm will become very very rich and successful).

> His overt misogyny

Doesn't exist as far as I can tell.

I have not seen any examples of RMS misogyny mentioned in ANY of the RMS threads on hackernews so far.

What definition of "misogyny" are you using and what examples do you have that meet that definition?
So exciting. When Shortcuts was first announced I was thrilled since I could think of hundreds of flows that would be amazing for my daily life to simplify things. But quickly realized there were many limitations such as it couldn't be run automatically at a set time, and nearly every flow I wanted it was missing a few actions to make them fully possible. As such I used a couple but overall didn't use it at all.

With this update, Personal Automations for me at least opens up many possibilities by removing so many limitations. Such as now when connecting to CarPlay you can automatically trigger workflows like opening Waze in background for alerts, getting directions to your next even that has a location, asking if I have kids in the car, if I say yes, play kid friendly podcast station, if not play my other station, and so on.

There are still so much unmet potential. Core apps like Apple Podcast have so few actions compared to third party options, which is very odd. And then other third party apps that would so love to have certain actions offer none at all.

So hopefully with the Personal Automation people will use it more, and with that use, Apple will offer more actions for their core apps causing more people to use it and then eventually more third party apps to offer actions, and then hopefully Apple offering a dedicated app store section for them for true mass appeal. Of and of course having it available on macOS (replacing Automator) would be wonderful since writing more complicated scripts is much easier on the Mac.
Your inability to do so is the result of infrastructure, zoning, and parking minimum rules your (and your predecessors') politicians put in place, unfortunately.

Online Image Resizer – Resizing.app
It’s sad to me that TFA can paper over what a massive step-up these apps are from the previous status quo, and how much better they will continue to become, in large part because of the independent contractor nature of the delivery people.

What was once an entirely untracked and mostly underground exploitation of illegal immigrants is now an app which tracks every minute worked, every task completed, which workers can turn on and off at their own whim. Somehow the fact that workers have to provide a social security number is spun as a negative.

Any app that can create features which make the service better will result in higher wages and tips per delivery, and riders/drivers can shift from app to app (sometimes within a single day) to follow these trends.

Talk to the actual couriers and they don’t want to be employees, because this very frequently is not a full time job. For the people it is a full time job, conversely, they are the ones least likely to be hired if shoe-horned into employment status.

Last week I had dinner delivered by a young woman driving while her son did homework in the passenger seat. This was apparently someone who needed to make some extra cash for a few hours each evening, and the cost of child care would obviously significantly reduce (if not eliminate) any income. The flexibility of being able to jump in the car and earn crucial dollars without the massive overhead of an employment contract is very valuable, and helping a lot of people.

I think we need to keep perspective that food delivery is just about the least skilled (lowest training required) job you can find in the US, and these apps are upending a traditionally extremely exploitative market with software that can never steal the driver’s wages, or racially discriminate against the driver, or be verbally abusive, etc. while at the same time providing potential work for millions of people at the click of a button.
Addison Lee is a taxi company. They operate in London and some other UK cities. They have a website and an app where you can book taxis:

https://www.addisonlee.com/apps/

Having booked, a taxi comes and takes you somewhere, then your card gets charged.

The service is substantially identical to Uber's. If Addison Lee is a taxi company, Uber is a taxi company.

For extra resemblance, Addison Lee's drivers are notionally self-employed, but they've recently been put through the same "actually they're employees" wringer as Uber:

Sorry. I should have shared the example I was thinking of as well.

Just my example.

[lengthy_array].map(function).filter(function).reduce(function).

JS compiler just runs them.

A compiler to be powerful to handle such functional programming syntax should also have ability to inline the functions as a single function.

the above example could be recompiled as

[lengthy_array].array_operation(Three function composed into one)
They cover different use cases though? NB-IoT offers much more bandwidth than LoRA and consumes much more power.

Judging from the 1.38.0 changelog, this one looks like a fairly toned-down Rust release. Nevertheless, bug-fixes and performance improvements as usual.

I definitely felt like that for a long time. With automation, I only have a few ones right now: One that is activated with my alarm in the morning and opens my Things agenda and the weather, and ones toggling Do not disturb when I get to/leave work.

Of course, everything shortcuts can do can be done manually, but for some I think it can be worth it to automate or reduce the workload of a lot of menial tasks

It's pretty much an open-source version of Dropbox. It works incredibly well, you can host it yourself and does what you expect you to do.
A few things to clarify here:

1. The degree is granted by a non-profit institution, Dominican University. The for-profit Public Benefit Corporation Make School, is currently providing services to the non-profit institution to run the program. It's also regionally accredited by WASC (far stricter guidelines) rather than nationally accredited like typical for-profits.

2. In contrast to typical for-profits, our students are predominantly 18-25 years old. They are choosing between Make School and traditional universities.

3. In contrast to typical for-profits, our incentives are directly aligned with students. As you state, existing for-profits targeted students to get approved for federal student loans. Our students don't take federal student loans, and they don't pay tuition unless they make >$60k per year. Their tuition is also scaled with their salary.

It's reasonable to discuss the merits of this vs state schools vs non-profit private colleges. It's hard to claim it's a scam when you're completely protected on the downside.
> I pulled 23 credit hours at a regular collage in a normal semester.

Good for you. But that's not "viable" for most students in the first place – 18 is probably pushing it.
Do you think that attitude is manifestation of feelings of helplessness rather than apathy?
I love that I have a shortcut set up to play my podcast and navigate to home when I leave my office... and that it still prompts me to start it, so I can not do that when I'm actually driving to lunch with coworkers.

Yeah.. prep doesn't seem too effective. That's what they told us at prep school (heh). I mean, they basically just said that we ought to ensure that we have sharpened pencils; adequate batteries for our calculator; a good-night's sleep; and to show up early.

I can appreciate how some folks want to do better, and are willing to work for better scores by investing in test-prep. And I can understand how test-prep providers would encourage them to do so, talking up their own services, as any business would.

But, I don't think it's that big a thing in the end. If anything, I worry that students who spend a lot of time prepping are being cheated out of their time, money, and education.

PS: To be clear, students would definitely do well to spend time studying for their future. Just, instead of trying to game the SAT, they can learn something useful, whether that's math, physics, computer programming, philosophy, creative writing, or whatever.
I agree it's disappointing. Any interesting automation is basically impossible. I've also found the arrival and leave triggers to only work about half the time, which seems a lot worse than I would expect from Siri location-based reminders which work pretty well.
Ah, just wrote a flattering post here on it, but wasn't aware it still had the manual approval issue which is unfortunate. I understand it for some things like When I arrive home, since otherwise when I'm outside running loops by house, each time I come by the house it would open the garage which wouldn't be good, but so many other cases where manual approval seems odd, and at least should be able to approve with with one click on apple watch with out having to open the notification then approve.
