The same goes for shoes. A good pair of shoes is expensive but durable and serviceable: it is work taking them periodically to a shoe repair shop. A good pair of shoes takes the shape of your foot after some wearing and could last even 10 years.

Modern shoes are designed to quick obsolescence, for example the sole wears and cannot be replaced or the shoe is so cheaply made that it is not worth fixing.
Exactly. Apple still hasn't come to terms with balancing security with functionality.
I sorta feel the same. But I did make one that I’m using a lot. It’s a typical “read later” workflow but it adds the site to both safari reading list and pinboard at the same time.
> "I'll be writing a book on Topic X, which I plan to publish 15 months from now, and I'll be completing one chapter on the 25th of every month until then"?

I did something similar when I began my first book. It accomplished nothing. I ended up stalling for several years.

What helped was a private commitment to myself to work on the book every day. It's definitely important to have a plan, but that's orthogonal to sharing a plan.

> your friends and rivals will keep you honest.

This depends on your friends, but I think at least in the US, most friendships are based on uncritical support. They aren't likely to cause friction by calling you on things you previously committed to doing unless that commitment actually affects them personally.

Maybe that's the way to use your social network to keep you honest. Make a commitment like: "If I finish this project by date X, I will contribute $YYYY to your favorite charity." Now your friend has some skin in the game.
Why would the investors invest in something where they wouldn’t get a large part of the returns?

They’re not investing their own money, they have investors (things like pension funds) that they have to answer to. And honestly, the majority of VC funds don’t do very well, even taking the large stakes they do. It’s a hits driven business, and if you don’t get those one or two breakout successes, you probably don’t make back your fund.
> There are checks in place so information that is important for society is not forgotten.

Could you expound on these checks?
I'm struggling to understand the criminality. Is there a lawyer that can explain it to me like I'm 5? Thanks.
I don't disagree with the study results. I guess talking about a thing can be a substitute for doing it.

But as others have mentioned, publicly committing to a specific measurable goal can help others hold you accountable.
I'm confused as to the difference between Warp and Warp+. Upgrading to Warp+ says it routes all your traffic through Cloudflare's servers. So I guess regular Warp doesn't, then. Is Warp "just" DNS over HTTPS/TLS and Warp+ is a more traditional VPN?
> For close to 20 years, as such, it's hardly something new. That's just how communities organized back then: Around clans and servers.

CS is not new, but it's one game. And even within this one game, many people do not have mics. Most people don't play exclusively with pre-mades they play pugs. Either via MM or Faceit (and to a lesser extent these days, ESEA). If you pug you'll find most people don't use mics at all.

> Matchmaking killed a lot of that, but the clan structure helps retain some of it. That's something a whole lot of people, particularly younger ones, participate to this day without ever fully going "pro" because there's a pretty massive middle ground between "absolutely casual gaming" and "sponsored organized pro gaming".

Most people don't play in clans or pre-mades like I said before. Yes, the move visible players do use voice chat, and at the highest levels it's uncommon for people to not use it. But a bulk of players in CS do not fall into these categories whatsoever. The average ranking is Gold Nova-ish which is far from the top end of the player base.

> Did you actually play with friends? There's a reason "party chat" features like Xbox Live Party were heavily demanded for many years.

Yes, I played in a clan starting in MW2 - BO2 or MW3 (I forget which came out last) and plenty of my clan members didn't have mics during clan events, let alone just playing random games. This was on Playstation Network, so maybe Xbox players used this way more, I can't speak to that.

> That's completely opposite to my experience in vanilla Wow: Organizing and managing 40 man raids without voice chat was pretty much impossible.

I guess this depends on how dedicated your groups were. We had 40 people in voice chat, but really only the party leaders regularly had mics in Vent or TS. This was enough to organize and successfully raid. But I guess YMMV here. All other MMOs I've played voice chat was essentially non-existent and you chatted with random people more often anyways since you didn't need pre-made parties or your guild to do most of the events. Using MapleStory (since I played the shit out of that) Party Quests were almost always just randoms in channel 1 not your friends. This echos the experiences I had playing Eve and Rift when that came out.

> Discord also isn't "beyond a voice chat for gaming", it's pretty much just the modern manifestation of server centered communities like they used to be a thing with CS game servers and still are a thing to this day with "Clan TS2 servers", Discord is just a natural evolution of those where people don't have to pay rent/bandwidth for a server.

Discord isn't used exclusively for in game chat in my experience. I'm part of plenty of communities on discord that have nothing to do with gaming, and even the gaming communities don't focus around chatting while gaming. They are usually to keep up with whatever the community is focused on, be it a streamers Discord or whatever. I'm not saying that Discord isn't used similar to TS or Ventrilo but it's beyond what those services did, and they aren't dedicated to just voice chatting with your group. It's a far more versatile service.
Am I misremembering how the test is scored? My recollection was that score == writing score + math score + verbal score, with each section being worth 800. If you only missed a question on the writing, shouldn't your score have been at least 2300, and your 1600 scale score would have been 1600?
Related: US average marathon times have fallen in the past 20ish years, as more people run marathons.

It's a good thing.
A good example of this was when Mississippi test takers routinely outscored those in New York taking the test. There were two reasons. The first was that New York required all students to take the SAT while in Mississippi only students interested in attending college took the entrance exams. The other factor was that the ACT was much more commonly used by admissions offices in Mississippi and surrounding states. So out of college bound students, the SAT typically was only taken by a subset planning on attending schools further away, which were much more likely to be Ivy League or other types of schools that attract students much more broadly than the average state school.
I think that something manufactured on Earth is an Earth-based object.
Unfortunately, the site doesn't inspire participation. There's no way for good answers to rise up above bad answers. And there are a lot of bad answers.
Few exceptions to the general rule then. Ok.
You cannot say some people are negatively affected AND say it is black and white.
In my experience cooking (which I do a lot, for a large family), it's generally faster to produce a high umami meat-based meal than it is to create a vegetarian or vegan one. The main reason I find is that I have to cook vegetables for much longer (with sauces, etc.) to develop the rich flavors that are "built-in" to something like a steak (which I can cook in 10 minutes).
I was recently browsing the terms and agreements of a Swiss online merchant and stumbled upon this,

'Swiss law requires us to archive business data for 10+ years. This means that we do not have the right to "forget" you.' [1]

It's unclear to me how Europeans have a right to be forgotten given the above.

Launch HN: Listle (YC S19) – Listen to the Best Articles on the Internet
Hi HN,

We are Cristina, Maria, Radu and Alex, co-founders of Listle (https://www.listle.io). We provide audio versions of articles. Instead of sitting in front of your computer reading your favourite blogs or news articles, you can listen to them while you commute, run or cook.

While being in YC over the last three months, we’ve developed both the iOS and Android apps. You can find these here: https://listle.app.link/m2DbuzvEDZ.

We started this out while still being in university, back in London, a few months ago. The idea was born as a solution to the painful process of using crappy text-to-speech software to listen to articles on the commute to lectures. We used Instapaper, Pocket and open source solutions for text to speech, but none were great. We noticed that as much as technology has evolved, listening to a robotic voice for more than five minutes is still simply terrible.

The success of podcasts and audiobooks shows that people enjoy listening to content. However, most of the content out there is still in written format. Listle aims to bridge the gap between these two worlds and enable people to listen to any article on the Internet. For example, you can listen to Paul Graham’s, Michael Seibel’s and several other YC partners’ articles. We’re also actively partnering with independent authors and enabling them to distribute their content in audio, through an embedded player on their Medium page / personal blog. Find examples of what this looks like here, https://medium.com/hackernoon/wtf-is-the-blockchain-1da89ba1..., https://medium.com/the-mission/your-college-degree-is-worthl... and here, https://medium.com/skilluped/the-3-most-important-skills-to-....

Every morning we release top new audio articles from that day — curated from HN and Reddit, all read by humans. We realise people have different preferences. Because of that, we’ve included a “request” feature within the app. For any article that you find intriguing, you can copy / paste the link into the app and get a top-notch AI narration, instantly.

We’re very excited about this and really hope you give it a try. We’re eager to hear any thoughts / suggestions / requests!
I think this article has a distinct bias and isn't considering how most people discuss the issue today.

I think that colloquially this word is used both by the left and the right to suggest the political tactic based on the sensibility that the political system is near collapse and attempts to "repair" the system from within are futile. Accelerationists are frustrated with the current system's perceived corruption, injustice, and immovability, thinking that acting in good faith will never attain the progress they aim for. They suggest that it is more valuable to push society and the political system to the point of collapse in attempts to incite a revolution, expecting that rebuilding the system from scratch, or at least in a society in chaos, will allow them to achieve their political goals in the new order.

Accelerationism seems to be the motive for a bunch of terrorism. For example, the Christchurch shooter cited as part of his motives wanting to spur debates on gun control, especially in the US, recognizing that these debates are increasingly dividing the country and pushing the country towards a civil war. Dylan Roof wanted to incite a race war. A lot of Islamic terror is trying to incite a pan-Islamic revolution. Antifa riots, destroys property, and often directly engages with police and right-wing groups in an attempt to weaken the "capitalist" social order.

Again, because they are and it's something you're well aware of

Do you happen to know what the licensing problems are? My family is in exactly the same boat; I'd love to be able to complain constructively to DYCF about which of their rules is responsible for preventing us from using a program like Fiddleheads.

It feels kind of surreal to read an academic discussion on a subject that I have personally lived through my whole life. I was born in Taiwan in 1970. I emigrated to US around 1983. Before I came to the US I was thoroughly indoctrinated by KMT propaganda(KMT version of the history). I felt patriotic to the KMT regime and totally believed KMT narrative until the time I started my study in US university where I was able to read books and magazines which talked by history and issues that were banned by KMT. I was deeply angered and felt betrayed by the KMT government. The emotion that I experienced was a strong motivation for me to seek "Taiwanese identity". I wanted to point out that CCP(Chinese Communist Party) do have strong control over the Chinese students who studied oversea just like what KMT has done in the past. All major universities with sizable Chinese students have "Chinese Student Association" which keep track of the students on campus. There are Chinese students who got paid by CCP to file regular reports on their fellow students. These are a powerful tool for CCP to control what Chinese students can say or do while they study oversea.
That is exactly what we would need for our son if we sent him to preschool in southern China (maybe not the rain jacket) simply given the lack of indoor heating (we will wait till he is older).

Is this the food equivalent of "avoiding the appearance of evil"?
As I'm sure you know (but maybe others don't), the main difference is that the GRE adapts to how you're doing, asking harder / easier questions when you get them right / wrong. This means the early questions have outweighed importance in your overall score and hence pacing yourself is very important. (I am very glad I did a few practice tests)

You want to leave yourself time for (hopefully) hard questions at the end, but a silly mistake early on hurts, so it pays to take your time in the first few minutes as well.

Fortunately it should be obvious how you are doing after the first group of questions, if they go from roll-your-eyes easy to ones that make you pause a moment. :)
> How do you measure your productivity?

The same way everyone measures productivity: subjectively. With software development, measuring productivity objectively is very much an unsolved problem (which is one of the major problems with studies on productivity of different floor plans, incidentally).

> What do you attribute to your increase in productivity in an open floor plan?

1. Generally feeling happier, more energized, and more focused (I'm an extrovert). When I work alone I find myself getting restless, irritable, and distracted.

2. Collaboration. Catching mistakes, soliciting creative ideas, getting information when I don't know something. But really #1 is a much bigger factor for me.

I think the trouble is more that open office is generally not something that most people can stomach as a deal killer as a seeking employee. You also generally are deep into the interview process by the time you see the quality of the open office space, and the place you would work maybe doesn't look miserable but its one desk reorg away from making you utterly miserable. There's also the comparative misery- is this more miserable than the job that you are trying to leave? Of all the jobs I looked into in urban northeast areas all but one was open plan, and the last one was cubes. I didn't really have much of a choice.
Yeah, skate and indoor soccer-ish style are my favorite too.

This is fairly well documented. Average IQ scores in France have been declining a couple of points per decade if I recall correctly...

I believe mass immigration from low IQ countries and dysgenics are often sourced as two of the potential reasons. But I have no idea how true that is.
I just bought a 320 pack of Lipton black tea. I don't drink it for the caffeine. To me the black tea tastes good, but I know that better tea exists. I'll have "good tea" when I visit friends but I'm just not personally interested in hunting down the store in Dalat that my friend likes to get her tea from. Lipton still tastes good to me.

My understanding is that /var was only removed on systems without SIP enabled, the recommended (and default) setting.

This only affected users who went out of their way to disable this security feature. Presumably Google QA had this enabled on all their machines.

Yes, in the age where you need more knowledge than ever in order to have a living wage, where menial labor is being automated faster and faster, we need less education. Good point.
Well, you know the saying, “Cash flow solves everything”? Sometimes it masks problems you’d have to solve other ways than just throwing money at them. This is the only problem cash flow can’t solve.
That is very true. I know and follow many Communists and Socialist, and none of them support Accelerationism in any form.

Don't forget a third possibility: paid nationalist astroturfers. Not all profit is financial. There are other reasons to sow disruption.
Maybe there are fields of work where being in an open space helps, but most of my work is best accomplished in complete isolation.
I think Chrome supports allowing an administrator to enable updates by all users, including those who are not administrators.

I've used Sparkle before (as a dev) and it's great, but I'm not sure it does that.
Switzerland isn’t part of the EU. They are free to have laws that conflict with the EU’s laws.
That's the kicker for me - when I talk to people who are complaining about open floor plans, they typically work in a place similar to the one pictured in the article. Now, that's not to say that more space necessarily makes it better for productivity, but it will certainly make some difference (at least, to me). Where I work, we have an open floor plan, and we have a good amount of space around our desks. I personally like it, but I can see how its not for everyone. If I were crammed in a tiny space, I would definitely be clamoring for an office.
>I'm 100% for paying more to switch to 100% renewable energy, but none of the effects of climate change [0] will in any way result in an apocalyptic future.

The NASA effects are the Disney version. As many countries have already found (and many will discover) you can get an "apocalyptic future" with seemingly small changes.

Changes pile up beyond the immediate ecological impact -- e.g. droughts and climate disasters mean more immigration, tension between neighborhooding countries, wars for resources (if wars of oil where bad, wait for wars for water), increased lack of global collaboration and so on...
@awelkie's answer is better than anything I could provide, thanks!

It definitely sucks that you can not miss a single question yet still end up with something like a 98th percentile because of the question set you happened to get.
The question is if you should defend the rights of the past offenders or current potential victim. Sure, there might be repercussions for past conduct, but at the end just one person is responsible for it. On the other hand you have potential victims who can't protect themselves by doing background check on potential perpetrator. If you prevent the victim from taking reasonable precautions, aren't you at least a little bit complicit?
Will do. Have been doing extensive tests with nightly for a while and it's been quite good except that lifetime bug that happened at 9/11...
The internet is not, nor was it ever, intended to provide the world a canonical and immutable record of "history." To claim that deleting content from the internet is tantamount to "deleting history" is absurd.

It's always been legal for a search engine or a website to unpublish or remove content. The only thing the right to be forgotten does is establish that a person has some form of ownership over content that's published about them, and the right to have it removed in some cases.
Similar experience with cheap uniqlo jeans. They look great at first but after a few washes the shape changes drastically, they get shorter and color fades even if washed with cold water and line dried. Sure, it helps to buy 1 extra size but they wont feel right until you wash them a few times but then the color has faded.
Why four-day working weeks may not be the utopia they seem
It's nebulous. Apps that employ(/contract/whatever) their delivery drivers separately from the restaurant have a clear picture, but when you leave a tip on a site like Seamless the money goes to the restaurant. You certainly hope the restaurant is distributing that to the staff, but you don't know for sure.
Why do you have to slow it to 0 to hit the sun? Can't you just cruise at whatever speed you're cruising and redirect it with thrusters towards the sun?
Yes? It's easy to feel productive in an open office. There's activity and buzz and you can accomplish nothing for four hours and still feel like you did something. You can't do that in a more private setting, what you're actually getting done is staring you in the face.
