> I actually wrote a Python solution at first, but having to install the pip dependencies on my clean varnish box seemed like a bad idea and it keep breaking in odd ways which I didn’t feel like debugging.

Amen!
This is why I am learning Go at the moment and considering using it instead of Python for admin and data processing tasks on a fleet of servers. The single binary deployment makes it a lot easier for users to adopt. Python misses out on a lot of use because of the inability to do this. And No! I do not want to pip install a lot of stuff on the servers just to be able to run this script once. Heck, some of these servers don't even have access to public internet to be able to pip install whatever.

Yes, I have looked into pyinstaller and Nuitka. They threw up some errors that were indicative of deeper issues that I didnt feel like a good use of my time to debug. I'd rather choose a language that has this as a priority/design goal instead.

Sadly we have all worked with John. In my first job, 15 years ago, I was preparing for a test for masters program. The test was on a Saturday at 8am in a town 4 hours away. My manager thought Friday night 7pm is a good time to schedule a meeting about what we are going to deliver in next 6 months. Meeting went on for 2 hours!
> I still believe, perhaps naively, that it's possible to maintain not-normal opinions without causing pain to the people around you. And this is something that everyone needs to do, whether you're in the majority or the minority.

It sure is. By shutting up and never speaking your opinions or thoughts to anyone. That's what you and half the people on this thread are advocating for. That people should only share opinions that the rest of society agrees with lest someone somewhere be offended. As if to be offended is to be physically harmed. Otherwise, should one dare to speak, one should be fired and ostracized. Frankly, that's one sick and boring society that's will produce little to nothing of value. Who knows what other voices will be silenced by this kind of censorship? No one will know because in this society of self censorship, people will be too afraid to voice any kind of opinion. That's the type of place America is becoming and the type of society it is trying to export to the rest of the world. Having lived in a society where the vast majority were afraid of speaking anything against the norms, I can tell you it was a horrible place, full of fear with little room for creativity or advancement of any sort. Yet here in America, where one is protected from the government, this growing movement of censorship is created by the people themselves, as if in the absence of government censorship, many Americans take it upon themselves to create an institution of censorship to prevent any and all discourse, creative thought, and advancement. They do the censorship for the government the government can't do for itself.

Ironic and ugly this society that has been created. So much for freedom. Whatever little freedom the government has left to the people, the people here are choosing to take it away from themselves. All so someone somewhere doesn't get offended. Of course, someone will always be offended. That's what great writers and thinkers and inventors and creators do: they offend. When you lose that, you lose all innovation and even the ability to think critically about anything. You end up with a conformist monoculture that cannot fathom of anything different. So much for diversity.
These are not my words. All I am arguing is that we should expect the simplest possible connection between nutrition and health. Although I do agree we should also understand the systematic effects of certain choices, we cannot make decisions if all these effects are aggregated haphazardly.

It would make sense if another study would combine the nutritional long-term effects, the societal costs, the availability of alternative sources of amino acids and other factors. Nevertheless, the conclusion: "Red meat consumption is unhealthy for individuals" should (imho) not consider the environmental effects. Principle of least astonishment.
I partially agree with you; unless the goal was to "do this in Go", the choice of tools seems odd/inneficient.

Spark would have a been a simple option to do this kind of processing, with less lines of code, and could also run on "spare compute". Same goes for the "How does one process 10 million JSON files taking up just over 1 TB of disk space in an S3 bucket?": there are appropriate file formats for storing and querying big datasets, text/json is simply the least efficient option and likely the cause of the "$2.50 USD per query" number...
What should we as consumers expect the practical difference to be?

If my kettle has a warranty and breaks down, it's on the manufacturer. If it's only within the design lifetime? What if 10% don't last the design lifetime, wheres the cut off if relevant? If I buy a kettle that lasts the design lifetime, but is deemed not to for the purposes of the law, do I get compensated?

These are genuine questions, I am in favour of publishing this kind of information, it occurs to me that poorly thought out rules would be useless though.
If you take the huge concrete brick (some use water as ballast) out of a washing machine, they’re not that heavy. It shouldn’t be a great surprise that a washing machine without clothes or water inside has a lot of empty space in it.
Maybe instead of the labor being too expensive, the raw materials, including energy, are too cheap.
It's not necessarily to make things more expensive to repair.

Often, making things easy to fully take apart increases manufacturing costs. So there needs to be a trade off.

Because of competition on prices, prices points, the fact the break downs are relatively rare. the priority is often to squeeze manufacturing costs.
Those words didn't disappear and resurfaced from some secret tape or whatever. They're on his own blog, first-party information quoted all over the place, and recent email scandal just proves that he never really changed.

While fascinating, if this is a deliberate strategy, I wonder what its intended effect is supposed to be. Are people curious enough to google for stories about Johnson's alleged affair with the American woman going to be satisfied with the "model of restraint" quote? Are they going to forget what they have just been searching for, get immediately distracted and go read what this model of restraint business is all about? Do we have any inkling as to whether this works at all?

Robert D. Hare (known for Hare Psychopathy Checklist-Revised PCL-R) has described psychopath as intraspecies predators. Psychopaths relation to other humans is similar to how humans relation to other animals. Humans have pets they like, but they still put down or abandon their best friend if something else comes along.

If you reverse this line of thought, we are psychopaths in our relation to animals. Our relation to animals is selfish, callous, and remorseless use (interpersonal-affective factor) and chronically unstable and antisocial lifestyle in or relation to pets (social deviance factor).

Humans have also tendency to act like predators towards our outgroup. Maybe this ability selfish, callous, and remorseless behavior is important part of being a human.
> Scott Adams claims that about 30% of people in a society just do not get humour / satire

Satire, snark, and sarcasm have to be least effective way you could possibly choose to communicate. You are absolutely begging to be misunderstood and misquoted, either genuinely or maliciously, and then it's nigh on impossible to explain yourself as all your excuses just sound like like it-was-a-prank-bro.

Another huge problem is that satire is often used as cover for telling not-quite-truths. I listen to satirical radio programmes (we have a lot of those in the UK) and sometimes I think they're really bending the truth quite a bit to get the joke and their criticism isn't really fair. That'd be fine if these people weren't simultaneously actual political activists who the next night are saying they're making genuine political arguments, and if people didn't think it's-funny-because-it's-true. I'm pretty sure some of them do satire just to get away with attacking without having to back any of it up, and so they can absolve themselves from responsibility when challenged.

Quite often, I think really I'm just listening to some nasty bullies.

All-in-all, I think satire is a bit toxic for everyone involved.
Scott Adams also claimed that women are treated with deference for the same reason children and mentally handicapped people are[0], so you'll have to forgive me for not giving too much credence to his unsourced statistics about the incompetence of a large fraction of humanity.

Most companies don't offer any warranty outside of what is required by the law

And parallel to that there are also companies adverting their 10,15 or 25 year warranty[1]. Now you can choose who you want to give your money to.

That being said I have no problem per se with forcing companies to offer long warranties.

[1] a further thing to look at is of course what these warranties actually cover and how likely you are to actually get help when your appliance breaks 17 years after you buy it. A 25 year warranty is useless (and should probably be illegal to advertise) if it's so full of loopholes and caveats that no one can practically make any claims against it.

We've seen some interactive education projects on HN (the famous page on raytracing, the one where there's everything about curves, many audio-based projects) and they have had great reception. I think the reason why most devs still prefer plain-text resources over anything else is two-fold: interactive stuff tends to be less standard (because there isn't really a good standard for it) and harder to version than text, but also for interactive education/documentation tools to be accepted, they need to meet a certain high bar of quality, otherwise they are just eye-candy with insufficient value-add. When developing such tools, I believe there is a point of immersion after which they clearly become superior to text materials to most people including otherwise text-heavy devs, but if an author of such interactive tool fails to reach this level, their work is seen as a distraction, because you still need to refer elsewhere. Stack Overflow's documentation examples (as much as I really wished the initiative would succeed) were very far from reaching this bar. They were not organized well, lackluster and were not interactive enough either.
No, but it makes the alleged affair look a lot less important. If a news story is not even on the first page of google results, is it even that big of a deal ?
Based on what evidence, though?
Perhaps the an in hub motor could be integrated with braking and a KERS system.
If I committed murder and wanted to hide the body, I would hide it on Page 2 of the search results. No one goes there.

After all, if the first x results are not what you were looking for, how likely is it that the next x results will provide a match?
Thing that got me was the bus thing was "spiritually" true.

The UK does send a fortune to the EU, and the EU will not spend it on the NHS.

At best they may use it to resurface a road in the UK in some town no one has ever heard of along with a "eu project" propoganda badge.

But the spirit of the message held water, even if it wasnt technically true during tuesday of the second easter of a red moon.
In this story it sounds like the king was kind of stupid. And if the deal is no longer good, just walk away, but now with more options than OP.
This is a law for appliances.
We have all worked for a "John" in the industry. The big systematic problem is that after being fired from Snap (probably after already collecting massive paychecks and a hefty chunk of equity), he will go to another big tech company and impress them with his resume and bullshitting skills. They will hire him and deal with his antics for a few years, while he ruins more people's careers, then he will move on. Rinse and repeat.

Also a 10/20/30/40 vesting schedule immediately stands out as a red flag for me. 25%/year vested quarterly (with a 1 year cliff) has been standard in the industry for a very long time. I would't trust a company to have my best interests at heart when it is massively beneficial for them if employees quit after 1-2 years (which is already about the average tenure at most companies of that size).
I don't think it's surprising with chimps given the stuff we know about them. See for example Chimpanzee Politics https://www.amazon.com/Chimpanzee-Politics-Power-among-Apes-...
Arguable. Nothing prevents manufacturers from offering 10 or even 20 years of warranty, except of course the market reality that few people would buy it when such a wareanty's costs are priced in.
Distros disable it by default but it gets silently enabled when you install things like docker (and maybe livbirt) and so on.

At least Docker (as it was pointed out by a sibling reply to my comment) also sets the FORWARD chain policy to DROP.

It's really funny to see the backlash on demanding such a basic premise of capitalism as information transparency in a forum like this.
Part of the reason people say crazy-sounding things in foreign languages is because it makes sense in their language.

If you've ever eaten gummy bears, gummy just means rubber in German. They use the same word for elastic used in clothing, for example elastic waistband pants.

In my teens, me, my mother and a friend of the family went shopping together to pick up sewing supplies. The family friend walked through the store loudly asking "Where are the rubbers?" because she needed elastic for a sewing project of hers. My mother made herself very busy elsewhere in the store and did her best to pretend she didn't know the woman.

A different family friend had a vaginal yeast infection. Her doctor recommended a vinegar and water douche. Confused, she asked "How will that help? And how do I get the vinegar in the showerhead?" because it sounds like the German word for shower.

My high school French teacher was a tiny lady who spent a year of college abroad in Paris. At a fancy meal where they passed one course of food after another, she soon was too full to eat another bite. So she turned down the next course telling them "I'm full" in French (Je suis pleine.)

You could hear a pin drop and everyone was mortified because it roughly translated as "I'm knocked up!" Then they realized it was some weird Americanism and got on with dinner conversation.

A friend who lived in Spain or something for some years and was fluent in Spanish told me that the written word for year is the same as the written word for ass in Spanish, except year has a tilde over it. Since most English language keyboards don't let you put a tilde over a letter, "Happy New Year" fairly often becomes "Happy New Ass" on the internet, especially from people who aren't really fluent.

This sort of thing is incredibly common.
You've missed out quite a lot.

The ADA was passed in 1990, so it was in place a full 17 years before Berkeley started adding video to the web.

The university strongly agreed with disability accessibility law. They put policies in place to make sure content was accessible. They offered free support to professors to make content accessible, and they required professors to sign documents saying "I have made this accessible". People lied by signing these forms when they had not made the material accessible.

If they hadn't lied, and had made use of the free support when creating content, the material would have been accessible from the beginning, and the university would not have been dumped into the massively unlawful position they were.

This wasn't some "opportunistic ADA lawyer", it was the inevitable result when hundreds of employees lied about accessibility.

2.All PDFs attached to my course follow the University of California Office of the President recommendations.

3.I have reviewed and implemented applicable guidelines into my course from the Web Accessibility team’s resource “Top 10 Tips for Making your Website Accessible.”

4.All mp3 and mp4 files in my course have been submitted for transcripts for SubRip Text (SRT) files.

5.All video and audio in my course have accurate captioning available to users through the edX HTML5 player
As an alien observer from a far one might wonder how humans might want to exploit my knowledge, technology or even the flavour of my flesh (if I have any). That's assuming that alien has mostly inquisitive intentions.

Alternatively, aliens with more exploitative intentions might be just as bad as some humans are. Perhaps, because we are still in our technological infancy we have little to take advantage of for now. Even less to warrant the work/energy expenditure required to plan a visit to our neck of the galaxy.
There's literally nothing wrong with your example.

You may believe there's nothing wrong with arbitrary discrimination but I don't.
Well now no one has those tools, so from a business perspective (even without going into how many people with disabilities are in the workforce) having part of the workforce with more access to a tool is better.

I think the north and the south both have a lot to learn from each other, unfortunately the economic discrepancies make it less and less likely for this exchange to happen. It's a sad state of affairs, but just as the southerners can learn a lot from the northerners, vice versa should definitely be encouraged as well.
