Cigarette companies are reviled for having information that smoking kills, and not only supresssing it but going as far as to claim smoking has health benefits.

That goes way beyond personal responsibility. It was a wide spread fraud.

YouTube isn’t really doing that. They simply recommend things that you may like and succeed or fail at it. When people are uncomfortable with the recommendations it’s a failure, not a conspiracy against the public.
Yeah, I agree we need some general purpose meeting websites that aren't strictly tech. oriented. That would make it harder to develop on the business model of showing tech. job advertisements, but the advertisement business model for community and informational websites is questionable to begin with.

> "How are stories ranked?"

> "The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in threads are ranked the same way."

> "Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which demotes overheated discussions, and moderator intervention."

As you're new, you might find the guidelines informative as well.

Scientists have made progress in terms of pinpointing exactly how much carbon whales keep out of the atmosphere; one study suggests that every year, sperm whales help sequester as much carbon as 694 acres of U.S. forests do. Another found that in Hawaii, the swimming motion of 80 whales can absorb the equivalent carbon of 208 acres of U.S. forests.

The title of this article made me expect more. Unless they mean the 694 acres is the contribution per whale (the article doesn't provide references).
In an ideal world, routing money from defence anywhere makes for a more productive society (except maybe black jack and hookers - and I am not even sure on that).

Of course investing into the future (kids and environment) has the biggest long-term impact and should be top priority.
Hey, at least they're open about it. I would be surprised if most of my hardware didn't have something like that in it.
Murphy got banned for referring to a specific individual by their former name and gender rather then their current name. Releasing this type of private information is similar to doxing a person and is considered a form of harassment under twitters rules.

The difference to the rest of Europe became even bigger over the last 12 years.

I am a self employed tech recruiter here in Zurich and I can say that more and more people want to come here.

Taxes are low, salaries high and things costs less than one thinks. I run https://coderfit.com and connect programmers with jobs in Zurich for a living. (I programmed for money before, so I know the market from many sites.) If, you want to move here find my email in my HN handle.
Awesome, you have a career for life, until you don't.
Drenthe has a reputation in the Netherlands as being a somewhat backwards region in the middle of nowhere. This isn't really helping the reputation. :)

Old school Unix people have been gatekeeping Unix since the 90s at least. Some still resent having a Unix that is available to anyone and runs on home computers.

By the way we aggregate meetups from different sources and map them in the 3D world inside the app.

We've been working on it for the past 2 years and are now finally fundraising. If you can connect us with interested parties to create futuristic next generation event platform do let me know, very curious. (I know it's self promotion but I'm sick of meetup at this point)
I work in a field adjacent to healthcare, and we're spending a lot of time at the moment making sure we're not regulated as medical device software.

What you've just described will be one of the most regulated devices known to man in every jurisdiction I can think of including the US, Canada, UK, EU and Australia.
Put that Wikipedia article through google translate, I'd suggest. Depending on the broadcaster different legal requirements apply - but generally if you are big enough to have a full statewide candidate list you're eligible. Different states allow for lower limits than this, and if you're refused you can file a legal complaint.
You could write to /dev/fb0 and use ioctl's on it to make some adjustments.

Given it is a subbranch of psychology and a more idealistic one that came up with the concept, I bet there is less than zero data on efficacy of safe spaces for anything. And what is out there is more than 80% likely to be wrong or irreproducible.

If something is not effective, the only reason to do it is ideology and politics. Nobody needs even more of those on campuses.
Ending at third step and leaving request unstated sounds highly manipulative to me, because the other party now has to figure out what you really want. Going straight to the request makes the tone do all the work - whether the exact request is even registered by the other party, or whether they feel forced to abandon their plans, all depends on how you voice your words.

Perhaps people are different, but I'm of the type that I absolutely want to hear both what you want and reasoning why you want it, and I tend to pick up and overanalyze the tone if you leave either part unstated.

I've taken LSD. I didn't experience anything profound, and i'm not one of those people that thinks everyone has to try it. But I didn't have a negative experience, either. It was fun, and worth trying if it's something that interests you.

At lower doses, you don't have a whole lot to fear, as long as you don't do anything stupid like try to drive.

Blocking YouTube access doesn’t have to be perfectly implement to be useful.

As you say in your last sentence, it’s impossible to keep porn magazines out of the hands of children, but yet we as a society are determined to at least try.

It’s all that’s suggested here, try to limit access, make it clear that some things aren’t to be watched at a young age.

Can you image what society would be like if people just had given up on restricting porn and said they could sell it to 10 year olds and play it in elementary school libraries?

There's no upper limit to how long you can take to do something.

Lower limits, sure, but no upper ones.
Interesting, can you link to a proof that he supported the harassment of female developers since apparently, "Gamergate" was a harassment campaign against female game developers.

It should be easy to quote a tweet where he celebrates the harassment of female game developers, instead of making people take your word for it.

Also what do you think is more relevant? your "Gamergate petty bullshit" or the fact that Mark Kern is Taiwanese national and grew up in Hong Kong himself? And had a significant role at Blizzard?

What Mark Kern thinks about Gamergate is completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand, but you people can't help it. Personal attacks are all you know to discredit others.
Indeed. As a German, I found it highly curious to suggest that car free town centers are a failed concept... on the contrary, I would not want to live in a city that does not have this (and I am not for randomly closing streets in cities or banning all cars or anything...)

Do you use any in app purchase plugin for Cordova in your Capacitor app?
No, but this is my free time and how I use it. If I chose to do that during my vacations, no one would be "well poor you, you don't really have 4 weeks of vacation a year, since you decided to pursue professional development during these weeks". People would simply say that I chose to use my free time to do these things, and some of these things are quite essential to my continued employment.
Thanks for this, I use it and userChrome for some add-on alterations, but it didn't occur to me I could use it for 'manual' about:config changes.

You could change it to the inverse/default explicitly in user.js?
It could be this, mentioned in the schematic:

I found a wallet once. It has a bankcard in it, so I called the bank, telling them I had found the wallet of one of their customers and asking them if they could help me return in to the owner.

They weren't allowed to give contact details of the owner to me, but they were allowed to forward my contact details to the owner of the wallet.

Through this route we eventually got the wallet back to its owner. Took half a day to get everything in order, but man were they happy to get the wallet back.

This reminds me of a story about how a tribe in the amazon jungle picks their camp site. They check the surrounding trees to make sure they are in good health. I imagine you would have to spend 1000 nights next to a tree they would regard as unsafe, before there was even a chance for something to happen to you. When it happens though, your family will remember it.

Most of the "hardware maintainance" is defragmenting the workload so that the VMs run in fewer physical machines to retire racks of old hardware. Some load balancing too.
The vast majority of rapes are not committed by Ted Bundy types. This is a detail I already addressed elsewhere. Most victims know their assailant socially.

Nowhere have I claimed any ability to "identify Ted Bundy types." Suggesting this is my claim amounts to putting words in my mouth.
It's just the hacker spirit. All kids have it, many people who muck about with computers a lot have it. Many people with little respect for "the system" have it too; that includes drug addicts, but also rednecks (redneck engineering) and so on.

My teachers in suburban Michigan had starting salaries in the $70ks... in 2007.
From someone that is an avid basketball fan, here’s a breakdown:

- Lebron chose to have an opinion contrary to Morey (GM of Houston Rockets who initiated this NBA debacle from a pro-HK tweet) and expressed Morey shouldn’t have done that without thinking first.

- Lebron gets shit on from pro-HK fans and deemed a hypocrite for being “woke” about black people issues but not on more global matters affecting other groups of people unlike him.

- Lebron signed a lifetime deal with Nike reportedly valued near $1B last year, so there is a shitload of money at stake for him and Nike. Plus he is in an upcoming Space Jam movie with WarnerMedia too.

- Other NBA stars, such as Harden of the Houston Rockets, have mostly declined to give opinions on HK/China to avoid further publicity of comments.

- Teams and coaches have also stayed relatively neutral/reserved to avoid player/team deals or sponsorships being retaliated against.

In summary:

Somewhat unsurprisingly, rich athletes removed from the real-life of a group halfway across the world are more likely to side with personal interests related to “their own world” than potentially tank their personal wealth status for some feel-good comments and short applause.

At the end of the day, maybe this does highlight that we have limits on how much we are actually willing to put forth into caring about something when “walking the walk” comes with self-sacrifice.

People are not wrong to call out these actions or complain about them. Even though not everyone is a celebrity whose opinion gets plastered everywhere, at least everyone can reflect on what they would actually be willing to sacrifice for others or act upon when asked instead of just pointing fingers or throwing stones.

This happens mostly because orgs are stuck in confrontational, or at least non-cooperative ways of working, and expect that communication tools will somehow make it acceptable.

For the consumer products even without a JS library it won't take long for people to realize the pricing is dynamic and the pushback will follow.

For the enterprise products it will take longer, but it will happen too. Plus people there have thicker skins, they've seen worse shenanigans and if they really need the product, they will just call the sales directly and negotiate.

This comment demonstrates why solaris lost: If you can buy multiple cheap, unreliable PCs for the price of 1 sun server, you still win. If you can employ a bunch of cheap kids, why would you want to get the far more professional guy? The theoretical answer is better quality. But in practice, the speed of adaptation of the new kids fixes that mostly, especially when you are competing against big arrogant, slow moving enterprice stuff. Worst case, you get 99% uptime instead of 99.5, and you pay a lot less.v Well, the market had spoken.
> Felix, you always leave your dirty socks on the floor! It’s disgusting! Clean this up before you do anything else.

Obviously Felix is going to respond bad to the first example because it's a demand. Someone forcing you to do something is never welcomed.

> 1. Observe Facts] Felix, when I see two balls of soiled socks under the coffee table, [2. Note Feelings] I feel irritated because [3. Uncover Desires] I want more order in the rooms that we share in common - [4. Make Requests] would you be willing to put your socks in the washing machine?

Assuming this is told with a calm voice, it won't transmit the same urgency as the first one. You are expressing that you are irritated with your words but your voice is not saying the same so Felix could assume is not as terrible as your words tell. In my opinion, the real difference is just in the request; you are requesting something not demanding it and it makes it less aggressive.
It is unreasonable to work with assumption that parents don't work or penalize kids for parents (moms to be precise) working.
I just switched to a trackball last week and spent a lot of time looking into these; the Microsoft one came up a LOT, but so did a cheap one from Elecom called the Huge.

I ended up getting the Huge (since I live in Japan and it's easy to get here) and I'm liking it a lot. I'm wondering if it hits the same buttons that you like with the Microsoft one.

Multi threading usually involves a dance to get the correct outcome. Xlib does that for you with a single call at the start of the program or you can do it yourself with every function call you want to make.

Another Slimblade user here - it's the best pointing device I've ever used.
The scrolling with the ball itself is a killer feature.

I'm using it for ~2 years now, before I had the expert mouse for about 10 and before some PS2 trackball.
The Slimblade is by far the best - both ergonomically and and mechanically.
(previous trackballs tend to collect a lot of dirt and required frequent cleaning, this one have a hole beneath the ball that prevents accumulation)
Sounds interesting, just subscribed.

The tech behind Wayland is pretty solid and reliable. I've been using it in embedded systems for at least four years now, and I've been somewhat late to the party.

Whether it's going to take off on the desktop or not is a completely different matter :-). There's a lot more hardware there, with a lot more different requirements, and there are very few people still working full-time on Linux desktop technology. It doesn't help that the barrier of entry is pretty high. There's no documentation, a lot of the code is a moving target... it's pretty hard to get started with this thing when you're working in your free evenings.
It comes across to me as inhuman, corporate-drone speak. It also comes across as trying to manage the other person, treating them as a child or less than human themselves.

From planetary perspective, multicellular life was and is huge.
Oxygen catastrophe is not called that because it was invisible from space. Nor are ok deposits geologically insignificant.

It is big timeframe though compared to anthropocene.

The warming is indeed planetary, but not the magnitude of the earlier atmospheric changes. The crust changes are more visible for now, especially mining.
The temperature will be pretty important at about +1 C out more globally - not quite yet. At that level moisture circulation would get affected a lot...

Yeah, wheelchair is a pretty OK way to get to a car. Anything further? Sorry but I consider that purposefully making disabled people's lives significantly worse. There are probably many disabled people around you that only have a wheelchair, and yet you don't see them on the street - because it's too damn hard to push yourself using your hands while your body is broken. I don't understand the hate against disabled people, is it really that bad to give them a slight advantage?
Right: you have the underslung engine pitch effect from the engine thrust, and in the MAX an additional pitch force applied by airflow under the big-ass fan shroud. It was this latter force tbat would be unfamiliar to 737 pilots, and that MCAS was supposed to hide.

It didn't vary with engine thrust, but only with airspeed at a high attack angle.

Sorry to hear the highlights are distracting, I could make a checkbox that disables them. The spelling of "in-formation" emphasizes that it is related to the meaning of "in formation", which is not something noticeable by default for most people I think.

Eh what? Word counting is embarrassingly parallel, at least for files.

You start up k threads each working on its own chunk of the file, assuming that there is a word boundary at the start of its chunk. Then you sum up the total word count but inspect whether the chunk boundaries actually were word boundaries, and subtract 1 each time this was violated.

Actually, 3 is two orders of magnitude (or just 1 depending on whether you count 1 as an order of magnitude or not) more than 0.3

0.3 = 3 * 10^-1, which is -1 order of magnitude

3 = 0.3 * 10^1, which is 1 order of magnitude

You are right that 5.48 is not an order of magnitude more than 1.86, however. They are the same order of magnitude.
