I had an 84 in high school and didn't even hide that I was doing this and didn't consider it cheating. The way I see it, if you understand the material well enough to program a computer to do it then you have understood the material. Not allowing me to make and use my own automation tool is just artificial difficulty. Now the kids who only used the program function to hide notes, those kids were cheaters.

To this day I don't consider myself to have understood something until I can code it.
>P.S. Most people don't want to be called an "anomoly". It sounds quite negative. I know you didn't mean it that way, but that is how other people interpret it.

Ok maybe I made mistake here. But the reaction to my mistake is that they decided to call me a racist. The difference here is that although I did not mean to convey what you implied... @AstralStorm and @Hermandw meant what they said 110%.

They accused me of being racist.

There is no one more guilty of racism against my race then the white man. So unless any of you are not white... back off.

Do you believe he has alienated more women from FOSS than he has inspired people to contribute to it? Considering the frankly extremely low percentage of female contributors, it seems that he would have had to personally (considering that all of the creepy behaviours listed seem to be limited to his meatspace circles) alienate multiple women for every one woman who did wind up working on in free software, which seems unrealistic simply on the basis that most people in FOSS never met Stallman. (On the same basis, I would actually be inclined to believe that he has probably inspired more women specifically than he has alienated, too.)

Note also that all of the anecdotes of actual bad behaviour that seem to come up are from about two decades ago, and we seem to be supposed to conclude that the pattern never stopped on the basis of that and a pathologically misquoted and misrepresented email he sent on the Epstein/Minsky case. Considering that the real email is at most slightly tone-deaf, the most likely model of reality to me seems to be that he has fixed that behaviour well over a decade ago, but a number of activists had resolved to never let it go until they found some way to completely destroy any status and reputation he has.
I'm actually quite surprised that they didn't collapse the synonyms though.

Though value judgements should not be removed. They should have been separated and placed together with some tagger metadata as they might actually be informative then.
NPR is not perfect - in particular, I have some issues with the artifical equivalency between our two major parties implied by NPR interview programs.

With that being said, your claim is 100% complete and utter bullshit, unsupported by even your own source.

Everything hinges on what you mean by the very vague term "known path". Every technology more than a few years out requires currently unknown problems to be solved. Even, say, the next generation of processors will require many engineer-years to solve currently unsolved problems, and the generation after that is pretty opaque right now. Still, we can have confidence that they will be developed.

Meanwhile, The stock prospects for the traditional big tobacco companies are going up.

Guess what it does to their value after getting an entire generation hooked on vaping nicotine for a decade, then for a brief time remove all flavors but the ones you can find in traditional cigarettes, then once people switch to tobacco and menthol only, remove e-cigarettes entirely. The only option is traditional cigarettes or not smoking at that point.
If it was easy to quit, we would’ve never had a need to create e-cigarettes to begin with.

It’s completely evil any way you look at it.
They always preface stories that involve people who have sponsored them in past by stating that they have sponsored them.

Plus, they've been sponsored by many other organization, such as Earth Law Center (something like that). Does that mean that they are captured by them too?
Gee, if only Facebook weren't a massive government backdoor into our lives. I mean yeah, the stuff we publish on Facebook is public anyway, but that's the tip of the iceberg. Beneath the surface of all the yelling is the direct messages, the searches, browsing, lingering, staring, geolocation and accelerometer data.

If Facebook were simply an ordinary mirror with which we could see ourselves, I'd be fine with that. But it's a one way mirror, and on the other side are people with intentions beyond advertising, beyond conventional suspicion.

That's because you're seeing the results of the license from the perspective of the developer, not the user.
The "Anti 996 Licence" (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system and https://github.com/996icu/996.ICU/blob/master/LICENSE ) has caused me to re-think what it means to say that a license is "for freedom."

For example, a software license could support freedom to unionize. The GPL does not.

I've decided to strictly use "software freedom", in order to avoid confusion with the much broader topic of "freedom".

(BTW, many 'source available' licenses support your right to modify and run your software, if that's really all you want. Free software also includes the right to redistribute the software, including with modifications and in commercial sales, and without needing additional permissions from the original copyright owners.)

You might need to make sure you’re using the same version of Python and project dependencies as you have deployed somewhere. Those versions might be different than your system version.

Keeping your project dependencies isolated also encourages you to document your dependencies (e.g. in requirements.txt), which is essential for reproducibility. If you have every package from every project installed globally then you tend to end up having issues when you or someone else tries to install a project in a different environment (the classic “I don’t know what’s wrong on your machine but it works fine on my mine”).

>the Washington Post didn't cause this to happen to Apple

What? How do you even arrive at that conclusion giving what I wrote? According to TFA,

"Apple is also part of the House Judiciary Committee's probe, which is looking into whether the cut that its App Store takes from software developers' revenue is anti-competitive."

That's it. That's all they're going at Apple for.

When this wapo hit piece was published last month (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20890717), I pointed out in comments that Amazon basics steals business from third party sellers on the amazon store, just as Apple steals business from third party developers on the app store.

Now I see why. Of course Bezos is going to publish articles pointing out that Apple is getting away with the same anti-competitive behavior Amazon is under investigation for: Stealing business from the third parties under them.

Yes, they have also put the link besides that license list.

However, my opinion is, the list better be designed in such way that users don't need to access to another website to understand what they're about to do.

It shouldn't be very hard, some sort of license description would do the work, I think.
I sort of get banning internet access but I've always been baffled at exams not allowing notes. At least in engineering, we should encourage students to be able to solve difficult problems with notes rather than solve minimal ones with barely memorized formulas and phrases.
Bedridges law of headlines: If the answer to a question posed in the headline of a news article is either "yes" or "no", the answer is "no". (paraphrased)

I think the problem here is that this is ultimately left up to individual teachers, and 15% of them will take the easy way out and say "you can only use the ti-84. Not the Casio equivalent, not the HP equivalent, the ti-84”. Word goes around to not bother with the 1/3 price alternatives because you have to pay for the ti markup eventually anyway. Better to pay $150 up front than pay $50 now and $150 later.

I would like to see, for instance, the State of California sitting down and establishing three levels of accredited calculator:

1. Scientific calculators. Roughly equivalent to the ti-36.

2. Graphing calculator. Roughly equivalent and compatible with the ti-84.

3. Symbolic calculator. Full symbolic computation is acceptable, but notably lacking wireless connectivity.

Require that publicly funded education systems choose a calculator level for all their classes. No ad hoc individual teachers fucking the system for everybody.

That being said, playing dumb is a really good option. I went back to school in my 30s, and my military service taught me the value of begging forgiveness instead of asking permission. I was an objectively good student, (sat in front, paid attention, asked questions, responded to teacher prompts) and had both a 90s ti-84 and ti's latest and greatest CAS calculator. Only got called on it once, and got away with it, because I knew exactly how to navigate "just following orders, sir".

Honestly, the military is a great way of learning the important stuff a middle class upbringing breaks us of.

Ask HN: Is it finally time to quit?
Using throwaway for obvious reasons...

I'm feeling pretty bad. Until now (I'm 45, SE for 20 years) I've been able to be successful by working hard and never quitting but I think that personality trait has been my demise this time.

I've worked full-time on a bootstrapped SaaS (niche academic domain) for over 3 years now. Went live on January 1 with 50 or so beta testers (free account and support for a year) which gave me plenty of encouragement, feedback, features, etc. Officially launched in July and everything has gone silent. I don't think I can convert any of the original testers as they've all gone to ground.

I've produced some excellent content and tried my best to get it out there but it seems no one is interested (plenty of reads but no sharing, no likes, no backlinks, no conversions, no comments, nothing). I'm 100% sure we offer a way better solution than our other competitors (there are two serious competitors) and the small number of people that have stuck around absolutely love it (however, let's see what happens when their free accounts come to an end on December 31st).

I'm not sure I even have a question to ask, other than "How do I know when it's time to quit?".
I agree with you about all the past bad behaviour, but the e-mail about Minsky was a bad choice to be the "last straw". It was an email calling for accusation-inflation prevention, which the media portrayed as completely the opposite (and this way of manipulation information from the media should be criminal, in my opinion).

It's not hard to do. Google has been able to do it for some years. It's difficult to build a service around cars that are only autonomous on the highway, so the autonomy companies pivoted to in-city driving as a natural next step toward having no safety driver.

I have previously been on site for an SAT II reading session (this is the part following the proctoring). It was hard enough to get the logistics right for getting all the scantron sheets and papers to where they needed to go. And overnight shipping printers and other equipment on failure.

Adding any more logistics into this process would increase costs and provide no headline-worthy benefit.

> Increasing price only reduces consumer surplus when it's the same consumers who buy. This is not the case when there's a shortage of tickets at the original sale price, which is the only scenario where scalping is profitable.

I don’t see how that follows. If a consumer can’t buy a ticket from the original seller due to a shortage, there’s no guarantee that the original sale price was at (or even near) the maximum price that that particular consumer was willing to pay. Therefore, that consumer might also be willing to buy from a scalper. It would be in the opposite case, if there wasn’t a shortage, that someone who doesn’t buy could be assumed to be unwilling to pay the price.

In practice, I’d expect a decent fraction of those consumers to be near their maximum price, since if not, we could conclude that the original seller irrationally set their price far too low. (But the original price must have been set somewhat too low if a significant shortage exists.) Still, depending on the markup charged by the scalper, I wouldn’t be surprised if a significant fraction of consumers actually would be willing to pay it.

As a practical example, according to an article from last year about Hamilton tickets [1], among seats originally sold for $69-$179, a few were on sale for >$10,000 each, but the average resale price was $412. $10,000 will obviously price out most consumers, but going from ~$100 to ~$400 might not, considering the extremely high desirability of Hamilton seats.

> Scalping unambiguously increases Kaldor-Hicks efficiency under a simple model. You can argue that efficiency isn't the best way to be fair, and it's fairer to someone to not have a ticket due to random luck rather than being priced out, perhaps. But scalping increases efficiency, which is all I claimed.

If I understand correctly, it increases efficiency if the scalper could have hypothetically purchased their ticket from someone who was deprived the opportunity to buy from the original seller, instead of from the original seller directly, and still made a profit by reselling it.

But that doesn’t seem true. There’s no reason to think that person who “won the lottery” would be willing to sell the ticket for the same price they bought it for. Instead they would likely sell it for a similar price to what the scalper wants to charge. At best the scalper can gain some value on the margin by taking on the risk that the ticket won’t sell, but not much value.

Talking about the weather, remarking on their gardens, and wishing them happiness and good health; these are all acceptable openers.

Most people love to talk about themselves, so if they give you some personal information it's safe to inquire further about it, most of the time. Cut it off before you turn it into an interrogation.
