I acknowledge that people's preferences vary. I don't recommend cycling to everyone.

But I also believe many people are mistaken about their preferences. Using your example of physical activity, I find that people greatly overestimate how difficult cycling is when done regularly. Fact is, you'll get in better shape, and what was once far too hard becomes easy. Similarly, many people seem absolutely opposed to sweating at all and that seems to be what stops them from cycling. But I actually don't know a single transportation cyclist who takes a shower after their commute. Yes, they do sweat, but they find the amount of sweating acceptable.

There seems to be psychological research about this phenomena, e.g., here's a random article I found via Google: https://www.apa.org/science/about/psa/2004/04/pelham

Similarly, many people have views about cycling that are false. For example, I've talked to several drivers about buying groceries on a bike, and I was surprised by how few seem to consider that you can add cargo capacity to a bike. Groceries seems to be many anti-cycling drivers "gotcha" question, but it's really not a problem.

I don't think these things are obvious, but most drivers I've talked about these issues with seem to take very little initiative to investigate these assumptions. The easiest way would be to ask experienced cyclists.

Also: I don't think that I'm calling drivers stupid or oblivious. If you think I am, can you explain how?
Cite? Generally people without insurance are able to negotiate significantly lower bills - or the bills simply aren’t paid at all.
I think that's fair, but I think there are also a lot of people in this discussion who reject out of hand the idea of: "this person shouldn't ever be in a position of authority over people because their mental health issues cause them to act around those people in ways that end up being construed as inappropriate at best, and actively making people feel unsafe at worst".

A handicap might mean that you just can't do certain things. No, it's not fair, but it's not like we expect the a quadriplegic person to be a long-distance runner... at least not with the medical technology available to us today. I hear a lot of rhetoric (that I agree with) around how a mental illness should be treated just like any other illness and not stigmatized as something to be embarrassed about. But it goes both ways: if a mental illness is just like any other illness (or handicap), then it's perfectly possible that some mental illnesses might mean that some activities aren't feasible, at least not until we understand them well enough to provide better treatments.
Stop paying attention to MSM then and read some political theory or books by academics. Everything else is low quality punditry. You might not believe me, but most serious leftist publications are way better. I would also say, there aren't objective truths in politics. You will need to decide on your values first and then go from there. For example Capitalism isn't natural. Neither is communism. They are ideas we decide to implement based on agreed upon values.
So, if I'm reading this correctly, 2.5GB/s of log data being generated? If we assume (aggressively) that they have 5mil machines in their infrastructure, doesn't that mean that each machine would have to be generating 500kB/s of log data?

Despite that, I find the claims to be underwhelming. So your system can process massive amounts of data by scaling massively horizontally...neat.

It's entirely false even as a strawman. 18-wheeler delivery trucks carrying 80,000 lbs of cargo (or even 1000 pounds of sensitive equipment) are not going cross country on dirt roads. Trying to maintain unpaved surfaces for that kind of usage pattern would cost exponentially more than paving the roads and providing for proper drainage.

Trucking is responsible for transporting roughly 12 billion tons of cargo annually, with an estimated value of $9 trillion dollars. As a total share of goods transported by value, trucking makes up about 70%, and 60% by weight. The trucking industry employs 10 million people (3.5 million of which are drivers), and directly contributes to about 5% of GDP, to say nothing of the share of GDP which indirectly depends on trucking, which would be roughly... all of it.

The United States' $20 trillion GDP is entirely dependent on a functioning and well maintained highway system, and it is absolutely irreplaceable as a means of economically and rapidly transporting goods throughout the country.

In that context, the roads that regular everyday taxpayers get to drive are basically free and paid for, because most of them would have needed to be built anyway for the basic provisioning of goods and services, health & safety, building materials and as a right-of-way for water, sewer, electrical, data, and communications infrastructure.

I'd settle for "arguments which steelman their opponents" (at least, within the Overton window).

You can't have a genuinely neutral political take, obviously, but you can have one which makes a best-effort to honestly understand, present and address the strongest opposing arguments.

The vast, vast majority of political ink spilled these days is just worthless cherry-picking bias-confirming ingroup-good-outgroup-bad let's-all-dunk-on-each-other dreck.

Ask HN: How to cope with burnout every 6 months?
Looking at my career, I held my first job for almost 5 years until I burned down and quit with a 2 day notice.

From there, it was downhill. Next job was 3 years, then 10 months, 12 months. Seemed to recover briefly and held another job for 2 years until burning out again. Previous job was only 8 months at a NGO doing really important work.

I've been at my current job for 6 months now and I couldn't get out of bed to do the work (I've been working from home for the past 5 years). This is what leads me to post here.

I've been diagnosed with depression a few times and I'm currently on SSRI's and feel okay.

So hanging jobs doesn't help, getting treating doesn't help.. I'm burning out again.

I love what I do (DevOps) but I'm coming to the conclusion that I don't work well with others. They start to drive me crazy and then I only have indifference towards the work.

Any advice? I'm feeling like I should quit IT.

Here is the exact problem we are talking about, happening today on Android.

The mechanisms you are talking about have been proven not to work.

As for laptops - they are. It’s not ‘stupidity’ that causes most people not to understand these risks. It is a lack of time to develop the expertise. Many people would like to pay Apple to manage these risks for them. For those who do not, there is Android.

Has anyone here listened to the newest episode of Startup?
https://gimletmedia.com/shows/startup/6nhr5r/our-company-has...

Listening to that has made me doubt that we're in the era of "big podcasting."

Here's a quote from Alex Blumberg:

"Just nine months earlier, we at Gimlet raised a big round of funding, 15 million dollars. The plan was to invest a lot of that into making more shows, hiring more people. We wanted that big chunk of money to last for a while: two and a half years. Meaning, we wanted to burn about 6 million a year. But at this meeting, Jim is telling us that right now in early 2018, it's looking like we're going to burn a lot more than that: 10-11 million a month."

He goes on to explain why:

"And that's because a lot of the things we assumed would happen, didn't. We assumed audiences would grow, but instead they plateaued. Our launches had not done as well as they had in the past. And some of our biggest shows, with the largest audiences, still weren't making money because we couldn't sell ads on them."

The version that was open-sourced kept evolving and integrating with other internal systems at Facebook. That's what made it hard to continue open-sourcing it (why the open-sourced version was discontinued) and why the current version is also hard to open-source.

Maybe one day we'll have a version available. In any case, one of the larger parts of the system (LogDevice) is open source :)

That's a very inaccurate story. Let me correct it.

First of all, you don't buy an alarm clock, you rent one and pay a monthly subscription. The salesman is all happy to elaborate on the benefits of this arrangement - you won't have to worry about batteries and repairs and such. You're a smart farmer, in your head a CEO of a farming corporation, so you buy the "capex vs opex" argument.

Secondly, the alarm clock doesn't break. You pay the fee, and it works. Except they replace it every two weeks with a slightly different one. Prettier, the salesman says. Over time it loses all the ergonomic handles and knobs, and becomes a flat pane of glass. Better UX, the salesman says. Sometimes weird things happen - you have an impression that it never shows 4:20 PM, or that alarms only fire on even numbered minutes. This may have to do with some contractual kerfuffle between the alarm clock provider and their "partners", because apparently time is intellectual property now.

Then one day you notice that the alarm clock has a camera and a microphone. When cornered, the salesman admits it had one from the very earliest model, and defends themselves by asking how else would they know how to make the product better (and no big deal about the 180 advertising partners; all they care about is making sure your day is even better by getting right products to you). Disgusted, you cut the microphone and tape up the camera (and get accused of stealing revenue from "honest companies").

Then one day your alarm clock bricks itself, because your government said or did something wrong in relation to oil prices and the US government decided your country can go to hell - and since your alarm clock is provided by a US company, it gets stuck forever showing 6:66 AM.
The issue now is everything associated with their "Creative Cloud" account; artwork layers saved to use throughout the programs, etc. – not as catastrophic as the update itself, but redundant for sure. Publicly, their Behance profile going down is probably where it hurts most.
I don't think it is reasonable to expect people completely disconnected from the negative effects of their actions to "turn over a new leaf", especially when they stand to make hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.

From all the examples I can see, "ask for forgiveness, not permission" is how many of the largest companies have become economically successful.

> Order of Malta. De Jure recognition, no territory or population to speak of. Basically a forgotten joke country left over from a bygone era.

Almost no one, including the Order itself, considers the Sovereign Military Order of Malta a country; it's the usual textbook example of a sovereign entity that is not a state/country by those who see it as sovereign (a point on which there is considerable dispute, despite the claim in its name and it's wide diplomatic interactions and grants of extraterritoriality, and, for it's headquarters, concurrent sovereignty with Italy.)

It's basically a NGO with a sui generis diplomatic status and disputed (among scholars) international legal status.
I don't buy it; a C64 is simple enough that you could work out the functionality of most components by trial and error and then work back from first principles. You'd measure 5v TTL, and under a scope you'd see the 1mhz binary signal. From there, 74 series chips on the board would probably be the first to be identified, simply based on inputs and outputs. And once you did that, and knew that this was a NOR gate or whatever, you'd pop the top off, look at it under microscope, and start to work back from your knowledge that this had digital logic and you'd figure out what the _function_ of a transistor was even if you didn't know what it is.

The RAMs and ROMs would be fairly trivial to figure out, as well.

You might not learn the manufacturing process -- that really did take a couple decades of material science and physics advances. But the principles of the machine would be clear. And then you could take the knowledge of that and scale it to the electronics components available in the era. You'd definitely have a head start simply knowing that these things were _possible_, and getting a boost on knowing how a computer could be structured.

On top of using their main application (DAW), which is most likely 64-bit, musicians tend to use a ton of plug-ins; some commercial, some freeware. Many if not most are 32-bit only and probably will never be updated (abandonware, or just old unsupported releases from commercial vendors).

Basically for many musicians, upgrading macOS will mean killing some of their plugins.

They don't seem either 'out of control' as he keeps saying or 'attacking [him] now' - as far as I can tell they're just segregating people into smaller groups on different sides of streets etc. so that they're more manageable for the comparatively small number of police.

It doesn't seem even to be about getting cameras away (which I would think wouldn't be surprising anyway) as he says towards the end - they actually seem quite unphased by that, other than keeping them a few feet away when they're questioning someone (it seems?) in the middle.
