TC might be low but my and my family's health appears far better than most of my peers. Less money, but our health is a better long term investment.
It depends on whether you're talking about actually depressed people, or people just "feeling a bit down". It seems like you're referring to the latter.

Depression is a very serious medical condition, often leading to suicide, and involves mostly just sleeping, crying in bed, and not wanting to do or see anything.
According to an anecdotal sample of taxi drivers, they drive aggressively for the same reason Southwest Airlines has stops. The _flag_ paid when starting a ride is the most profitable part of the ride. For Southwest, they are an expert at the turnaround, and the most they take-off and land, the more passengers, the more profit.
> Wonder if they ever come out and officially deprecate their earlier attempts.

That (mostly) doesn't happen.

I would say that .NET Core was the sole attempt to deprecate a lot of the framework. And most of it came back anyway; see the title of the parent article.
> > A lot of victims that were exploited in the production of child porn

> Good thing, sharing existing CP is not the same as exploiting people to create CP.

No it isn't the same thing. Sharing child porn is victimizing people though, it is victimizing the people that are abused in that material.

> > by every dirty slimy degenerate wanting to do so

> You are aware that you managed to insult even the people who want to but refuse to watch CP for moral reasons, right? You are basically calling a group of people with a certain attraction that they themselves can't change as "dirty slimy degenerate"s.

I didn't mean to insult those people. I like however how you've turned this around from the victims of child porn on to the victims of a comment on HN. And it's absolutely not a fact that people that suffer from an attraction to children can't change that. Some cases seem induced by excessive porn viewing and revert when those people stop doing so for a couple of months. Though there are also people who seem to be incurable.

> > It's also one of the reasons a lot of them commit suicide

> I honestly doubt that, but if we assume that was indeed the case, shouldn't the authorities simply not inform them that their pictures/videos are being distributed online?

This idea is laughable. Do you honestly believe just not telling the victims the material is out there will convince them the material isn't out there?

> Even then though, I still can't see this as a reason to illegalise it. Should we also make rejections(from jobs/relationships/etc) illegal because some of the people who receive said rejection commit suicide?

This is a straw man, I didn't cite the suicides as a reason to make child porn illegal. It's is part of the picture though.

> Also, I find it dishonest of you not to consider the people who have been unjustly jailed if not for distributing at least for possession of CP, some of which have committed suicide.

Oh yeah, how dishonest of me not to consider people punished for possessing child porn. Do you hear yourself?

> > The fact that the justice system makes even viewing this material illegal is not for nothing, but comes from a proper understanding of how child porn victimizes people.

> Just like how the justice system in most countries until recently illegalised homosexuality and sex before marriage, right?

No, this is absolutely not the same thing. Straw man again. Practicing homosexuality doesn't victimize people. Sex before marriage doesn't victimize people. Watching child porn does victimize people, namely the ones being exploited.

> It's hard to imagine any modern scientist achieving such celebrity, and now, 250 years after his birth, Humboldt himself has largely been forgotten by the general public

This is certainly not true in Germany, where Humboldt is still celebrated. I would say that the only explorer who is more famous here than Humboldt is Darwin.
Both points - that Chomsky has not received the Nobel price due to 'bias' and that the Nobel Price for economics is a neoliberal 'plot' are essentially false and conspiratorial.

I like Chomsky because he's such an antagonist (we need them) but I think he also misrepresents a lot of information.

Nothing. At least not the legal rights. They accept the arrest and corresponding consequences. That's what civil disobedience is about.

Can we solve giving validation to life experience vs. a degree?
As someone without a degree a constant problem I have when trying to find a better job is that I have no degree.

- At my employer, want to move up? You need a 4 year degree, in anything, period.

- When applying to jobs, "Bachelors required, Masters preferred" and I've even seen this for administrative assistant listings.

- Even startup at the tens of employees stage often want degrees.

It seems the only way really around this at present is to have successfully exited a startup. Since we're on YC, take Sam Altman. Sam dropped out of Stanford to focus full time on Loopt, ultimately selling Loopt. 2 years after Loopt was purchased Paul Graham handed over the keys of the castle and named Sam president of YC.

Obviously that's not a realistic scenario for 99% of the population. That's a whole lot of luck and right place right time. PG seeded Sam with Loopt, Sam was then offered a part-time partnership with YC where he probably proved himself more, then exited Loopt which gave PG plenty to look at and go "yeah, he's capable of this, let's take a chance on him" but a lot of people have mountains of life experience but get the door slammed in their face before even speaking to a human being because they don't have a 4-year degree listed on their CV (in fact, some online applications make you input your degree, university and GPA in their own fields and will not let you leave them blank).

We've got a lot of smart and talented people here on HN, and a lot of startup types and independently wealthy individuals. Who wants to take a stab at the problem, even if just in a hypothetical approach?

Do, as a society, we start a sort of staffing firm with 'counselors' that evaluate individuals and use some sort of secret-sauce formula to say "this is what we think about this individual" as a sort of professional certification/degree alternative?

What outside of the box ideas might there be that we can discover and work towards implementing?
What I said is "status is not a crime." Illegal entry into the Country is a crime, whether you are a citizen or not, its a crime.

Nevertheless, these people were not charged with a crime or illegally entering the Country, nor does Immigration Court have jurisdiction over criminal cases.

They are currently being held in an Immigration Detention Center and facing removal (deportation), thats civil, not criminal.

If they were charged with a crime, they would 1st go to criminal court. It happens all the time, an undocumented person commits a crime (of fraud or moral turpitude), gets charged, found guilty, serves time, then upon release from jail/prison ICE is there to meet them, detain them in a Immigration Detention Center/facility while they face the civil Immigration case.
I have that problem too.

But I've learned that dirty dishes stabilize if you let them air dry. They don't even smell bad. Or get moldy. And after soaking an hour or two in hot water with detergent, they're easy to wash.

So then I just need to wash whatever I need for the next meal. And of course, leave enough clean for my wife to use.

I see, so how would Indian independence, civil rights and universal suffrage have been achieved?
No, it is not peaceful. A peaceful protest must get appropriate permissions from local authorities to be a lawful assembly (this is true in the US and I am assuming the UK has similar law). Such an assembly would take place on public property. Climbing onto roofs is a violation of private property that they have no right to access.

A peaceful protest must be non-disruptive and not take away from others. Blockading bridges is. It peaceful. It is stealing time, value, and safety from others. They are vigilantes because they claim to be pushing for justice where the law failed them. But in reality their arguments and extreme demands simply have failed to persuade people to the extent they desire through democratic processes. That doesn’t give them the right to blockade bridges in London.
Smashing a window is not really violence/not peaceful.

It is a nice illustration, but they really missed an opportunity to include a fourth quadrant for "fruit brandy Europe". It would cover most of the Balkans and SE Europe, on the current dividing line between vodka and wine.

Look, when I was in high school we had our first period starting at 7:07am, and the school overall was released at 2:15pm. Plenty of kids, myself included, performed just fine. But, that doesn't mean it's physiologically optimal, and it also doesn't mean it's practical for families to get kids in bed at an appropriate time. Anecdotally, I know lots of families whose middle schoolers are regularly up until 10-11pm doing homework. This is particularly true for those kids participating in time-consuming extra-curriculars.

It's probably physiologically accurate that later start times are better for children. This bill is research-backed. It also makes things harder for parents who will then need to find long before-care options or start their own commutes later.

Also anecdotally, I have two children in elementary school, who also play competitive soccer with training 4 days/wk. Soccer is typically 1.5hr at a time, and either 4:30-6pm or 5-6:30pm. Training fields are 15-20min drive from our house. School gets out at 2:15, but we have to pick up our 2yo from daycare before the older ones get home (no bussing service because we're <1mi from the school). The result is that the older ones get home, unpack their backpacks, change into soccer gear, have time for a snack and perhaps 15-30 minutes for homework (besides written homework, they also have to read 30 minutes every day) before leaving for soccer. My wife thankfully works from home and is able to handle the afternoon routine after having shifted her work schedule 3 timezones (5am-2pm). I pick everyone up from soccer practice and then we get home, shower and eat dinner from around 6:45-7:45. Then it's time to finish homework and reading. I'm lucky they get to go to bed by 8:30-9:00pm. Then I wake them up at 6:15 to get ready for band practice at school @7:15.

This is an anecdote about an 8 & 10 year old in the bay area, and we have excellent work situations (I work for a flexible tech company, and my wife works a shifted schedule from home). If we both worked traditional 8-5 schedules, the majority of what our kids are able to do now would not be possible: they'd go to YMCA before care on campus around 7am and then to aftercare until 5:30pm. Sports would be out of the question unless we made arrangements with friends. There would be no decompression time after school and before home/family/activity time.

It is pretty common under situation of physical effort not to feel pain, which makes some sort of evolutionary sense.

Another anecdote: during last year's Tour de France, halfway climbing the Alpe d'Huez (~13.8km at avg 8% slope, nothing to scoff at), Vincenzo Nibali got knocked off his bike because it got hooked on a supporter's camera strap. He got back on his bike and completed the rest of the climb faster than the top contenders in front of him. When the doctors checked him, it turned out he had a fractured vertebra. I suppose that must've hurt.

In my opinion it's not the problem of software but the problem of hardware. You can more easily write software then produce phone hardware. From consumer perspective it's quite easy to make custom computer and use custom os on it cause most of drivers are open and you can see there are plenty of computer operating systems in the world, on the other hand most of phones hardware and os is proprietary what was not an issue when we were using it for calling not using it as alternative to traditional computer. So first we need to define what is broken, from my perspective broken is phone hardware.

Why is it an abuse of their power? Google and Apple are essentially saying that if you use their store as a sales funnel then they take a 30% cut, and they enforce that by being the sole payment processor on the store.

Basically Google and Apple both know that people will make more money by listing in their stores and taking a 30% cut than not listing at all.
>That's hilarious because most of the electronics

That was an analogy. I wasn't talking about car electronics. I was talking about the lack of professional education in programming.

>Most responsibilities are not concerned with low-level optimizations when javascript in particular typically deals with network connections

I have yet to encounter a javascript program that doesn't run on a CPU. Also, javascript is one of the most versatile and widely used languages. It runs on clients, servers, high end machines and embedded systems. So of course performance matters. If it didn't we wouldn't need WASM, asm.js and countless ridiculous JS engine optimizations. The time "saved" having to learn proper programming by using JS is dwarfed by the time wasted in CPU and end user time.
I think arguing isn't worth the effort. The fact is, it's easier for the state to set start times later than it is for millions of parents to get their kids to bed on time (for all sorts of reasons).

Generically cache and branch predict friendly code is worth most of the benefit. Micro-tuning is small potatoes compared to accidentally wiping the cache on each instruction (e.g. with badly designed objects) or mispredicting a thousand times in a row (e.g. with a poorly designed loop)
> While neutrino oscillation experiments have measured the differences between the mass states, experiments like KATRIN home in on a kind of average of the three. Combining the two types of measurements can reveal the value of each mass state, favoring certain theories of neutrino mass over others.

Since the universe's cruel trick seems to be that the Standard Model -- in all its ugly glory -- refuses to be falisified, what is the least surprising outcome for this experiment? Is there a set of neutrino masses that is minimally-illuminating of physics beyond the standard model?
Yes, more precisely the town needs to have a medical spa ("Heilbad" in German) [1].

Which can be a medicinal spring, but also other potentially beneficial effects [2], there are towns on the sea, which have the prefix "Seeheilbad" [3], which is purely based on the positive climatic effect of the nearby sea.

And then, this is Germany after all, there is a long list of other boxes that need to be ticked, see [4].

No, that's how silencing minorities works, which is explicitly the thing that democracy is not about.

You know the line, "soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box: please use in that order"? Note that last one. Democracy is merely a system wherein the first three boxes have a good chance of fixing whatever issue is occurring. But the ammo box is still there if the issue is important and nothing else works.

Define "authorities", therein lies the rub. Authority is earned not assumed. If they were authorities the protests would be unnecessary
You're mentioning a request, but such a request is notably absent in op's example: "But I don't tell him what to do, to stay at home, for example. I only talk about my own perception and feelings."

It reads to me both like an expectation at reading minds and a mild form of emotional blackmail.

This might be non-violent, but it's also lacking clarity. In the end it's not clear if extra cuddling before leaving and after coming back would please the woman in the example. Or if calling her every day would. Or if she could just visit her sister to avoid her feeling of loneliness.

I did not notice an explicit negotiation or any negotiation at all in that example.
