This thread made me think. Some of the symptoms of ADD seem to describe much of my behavior to a shocking precision, mostly lack of executive function. But I wasn't hyperactive so I wasn't sure it applied to me. Still, I lose track of time when working on projects I enjoy. That doesn't even invalidate the progress I make on them, but the act of me deciding to work on them on a whim and forgetting everything else until I'm too tired to go on is a very common occurrence for me.

At a young age my parents were told by someone I did not have AD(H)D. I believed them. But later when I was living on my own I felt his methodology lacked credibility. (He was a person who called his treatment "turbo-drive psychotherapy" and dismissed questions about its effectiveness, calling them "pooh-poohing the next generation of technology". Not really someone who would want to hold an intellectual dialogue).

Looking back on it in the present I realized that if my parents were going to tell me I was or wasn't X or Y at that age, I was going to believe them - for as long as they were physically around to assert it. It had always felt wrong to disagree. For various reasons I had internalized that argument was not a means to find truth but instead an unreasonable risk when you could be locked in a closet for it.

I'm not sure what being diagnosed today would do for me since it wouldn't change any of that. Though it could give some more clarity to my past.
> When 'some' is enough to control a state legislature, and similar things happen across the country (https://www.npr.org/2018/10/23/659784277/republican-voter-su...), it's a logical conclusion.

I don't see how it follows that a state legislature's cupidity directly translates to a national party's intentions. That's a bridge too far. If there's a smoking gun, such as a leaked internal memo, I would agree totally. People are scumbags and are biased to try to make their side win in most situations.

>It literally links directly to the court judgement.

Yes, for closing the polls early, not for voter id laws.
See, the thing is, a lot of the latest research seems to suggest that healthy fats should make up a larger part of your diet, and that grains are actually pretty terrible for you. Like I said, it’s really not simple.

Additionally, a lot of plants require processing to be safe to eat, and many more are healthier if processed in some way. “Processed” is too generic to really mean anything.

The basic argument is that "merit" is a word that pretends to be about innate ability and grit, where in reality it's a deep encoding of privilege.

I read the same article; the message I got is that it's about all of those things. You need privilege, ability, and grit.

When the system became so bitterly competitive you had to have all three, is when any equity of meritocracy started to vanish.

It's basically just cheap insurance for the paranoid.
It is required to let your child go to school and home-schooling does not satisfy that requirement so is in principle illegal. There are a few ways some people do manage to get it allowed (you have to argue that your way of life / religion is fundamentally incompatible with all schools in the region) but expect quite a few visits from suspicious civil cervants and lots of arguing.

That's the theory, anyway. How it was possible that these children were never checked on is still under investigation.
As a suggestion for a general re-design to solve this issue...

Cluster the consumable components together. Flash and battery. Attach the storage via iSCSI or something similar, have the car's main computer perform encryption/decryption (rather than trusting a component expected to be swapped).

In the case of a battery swap the bulk contents of the (encrypted) external storage can also be cloned. That can probably happen in the timespan that a battery is topped up to charge, but would be more difficult for automated swaps at refueling points. A home/cloud backup and transferring only the new data might be sufficient.
> They aren't a first class search engine, they get results from other search engines. Perform a search on DDG, then do the same search on Bing

You search for the thing and you find the thing. Why do you expect the results, especially the top results, to be different? Is there any other evidence that they are not doing searches themselves?
They could control everything internally perfectly - however that won't prevent content from being produced of even one or a few who protest. Externally they can't control who protests outside the event - which will be a source of content for media.
Update: I'm going to make a point to go through the new page more often and upvote development/programming/comp-sci related articles. I have a feeling a lot of us complaining about that HN front page is containing less-and-less hacking related articles are the same ones that never go through new and upvote stuff :|
But the theory does not predict those should be common, and predicts they should be rare or nonexistent. So you can't invoke it as support for these findings: it is in fact a bullet which must be bitten (similar to the bullet they must bite when they admit that yes, IQ does correlate with mental health up to the Mensa level in ordinary samples like Swedish population registry or the Scottish population sample, but then postulate that it magically mysteriously reverses abruptly and mental illness rates shoot up orders of magnitude somewhere within the top percentile where conveniently those ordinary samples just can't spot any reversal).

DDG is Bing search (unless you search in Russian, then it's Yandex). You may as well just keep using Bing and get the rewards.

The results have been getting much better over time and I'd argue that the quality of Google's results is actually declining. Some queries return almost an entire 1st page full of ads.

Logging the searches back at the Duckquarters is exactly the kind of privacy invasion you use DDG to avoid. Also they would have the burden of proving it's not PII for GDPR purposes even if they don't log any IPs etc.
Would love to know also. My guess given the volume of data is data warehousing.
That's my thinking as well. I've been to a few non-media sites (eg. aliexpress) that inexplicably ask to play DRM content.

There's an annoying misconception that IPFS is "free storage" - it's not. If you care about something sticking around on the network, you need to take action to ensure that happens: either as an individual pinning it to a persistent node you run, as a developer paying a distributed pinning service to host your dapp data, or as a community creating a social agreement to all peer their nodes to replicate each other's data. All these solutions are doable today, but you shouldn't expect others to host your content for free (if it isn't popular enough for other people to be proactively caching it). IPFS is the distributed network for addressing files, you have to bring, buy, or share your own storage - anything else (ex forced hosting of content you don't choose) would have problematic liabilities!
I would agree with you if the debate were “should we abolish SSL so we can MITM all internet traffic to catch more criminals?”

In that example, there is legitimate argument that SSL encrypted connections to more good than harm (it makes logging into your online bank possible on public Wifi, along with 1000’s of other examples like it).

But I’ve still yet to see a clear argument for absolute internet anonymity for anything that would benefit the average person (yet, I can think of dozens of ways it harms people).

It’s very likely that I’m just not aware of the legitimate (practical) use cases of TOR.

> And it's politically intractable to fix these silly things in the constitution.

Which is why I had originally hoped not for Warren or Sanders to end up as Democrat candidate but Biden (which is very unrealistic at the moment)... the general idea was having a left-moderate candidate like Biden get enough votes in 2020 to have a strong Congressional majority in order to fix voter suppression, gerrymandering, electoral college, campaign finance and media ownership (e.g. breaking up Sinclair, re-establishing something like the Fairness Doctrine).

Then in 2024 a proper leftie candidate could compete on fair and even terms against whatever the Republicans put up.

But since Biden is pretty much toast now thanks to the Ukraine scandal it will probably be Warren who ends up as Democrat candidate and I fear that the Republicans will launch an all-out anti-communist war campaign, aided by Fox, Sinclair and "conservative" rags - pitting 'Trump vs "Communism"' in the 2020 elections may yield a victory for Trump in the current situation...
Used. Only the orignal Jolla phone introduced at the end of 2013 used btrfs. There have been many many problems with btrfs on the device, mainly due to metadata vs data block allocation issues & resulting metadata space exhaustion. The balance ooeration being basically unbounded in time and fregvently crashing outright did not help.

Since then all other devices made or officially supported by Jolla are using EXT4 on LVM, including this one Xperia X running Sailfish OS I'm typing this on.
I also have this problem. I find part of D is easy like Python, but all the template jargon is over my head.

I only really find myself consistently needing to g! for super recent results, like breaking news or a sports score.

Admittedly some of Google's advantage here is the sheer scale of the compute resources they throw at their crawlers, and I don't know if DDG actually maintain their own index, but I'd love it if they noticed and slowly added those sites to some kind of more-frequently-updated list.
It lasted about 3 years before getting shut down. That's better than most of their chat apps at least.
So your theory is that the US government's policy is to find the most convoluted difficult way to do this collecting and ignore all the easier ways?

"Boss, I just got done with that $500Bn compute job to work out a guy's password as you recommended, rather than just resetting it by email as I'd originally thought of doing. As you pointed out the government can just raise income taxes to pay for it"

"Cool, OK, now I want you to go threaten this company CEO. They collect optional telemetry data and we'd like to extort that CEO into telling us whether a user with this IP address has an Intel or AMD processor"

"Shouldn't I just get them to export the data from their software directly rather than bother with all this? Or just use any of these broadly available malware techniques to get the answer for the user we care about?"

"No, that would be simpler and cheaper, if we do it this way only a true genius like zAy0LfpBZLC8mAC would realise what we're up to, as ever our goal is collect anything but only in the most elaborate way possible so that it's tremendously expensive and difficult"

"OK, but what if the user has disabled telemetry?"

"Then we'll have to think of an even more expensive and elaborate way to collect data. We have a programme to teach goldfish to swim differently depending on whether they have recently seen anybody wearing a T-shirt with a specific logo design on it."
We have a huge database problem at my company (department). There are only 4 databases for 200 developers. I find this extremely cumbersome to develop on. Ideally there would be at least 1 DB per developer plus some shared environments. What do others do?
This ownership of copyright gives them the possibility to release the next version of (not-)OpenJDK under a proprietary license, but does not give them a possibility to kill off the current version of OpenJDK as every single user who has received explicit perpetual irrevocable license to use, change and redistribute the current version - so there's always a possibility for a true open source fork.
A friend of mine transitioned. Using the new name came fairly quickly. Adapting all of my own history with this friend to bubble up a new pronoun reliably is still a work in progress.
It certainly will be, however how far they go will go with it depend on their willingness to push the boundaries. It's likely Starlink will appease to China's censorship demands - if they don't I'm sure China would take out all of the satellites that orbit them, and obviously it would hurt Tesla's activities in China.

Edit: To whomever disagrees with me, if you don't think this is a legitimate possibility or concern that SpaceX, Elon, has had to consider - as to how revolutionary they will be, then you need to think harder.
I have to say that I have a lot of respect for the man.

Many project leaders/creators position themselve "authoritative god" on their project, and finished often disconnected from their community taking arbitrary wrong decisions.

Bjarne has been smarter than that, giving the community (a very diversified community ) the opportunity to drive the language together.

And it worked, C++ survived 40 years, stronger than ever, evolving from a primitive "C with class" to a modern language present in almost every electronic device nowadays.

It might not be "perfect", "pure", but it does not matter. It fucking work... and evolve in the right direction... That's the C++ way.
Maybe it's not trivial, but if you'd migrated two lines of code a day, you'd be done by now. Code requires some amount of maintainance.
Amazon IT employees are carrot-dangles a rolling set of future stock and other money, but as it stands now almost every new hire won't see that money. Amazon will get what they can out of them, and then mark them underperforming and fire them before it pays out any money.

Some of the best people I know that have gone to work there have been subjected to this.

After cycles of this, the only way to survive is to backstab and move up in management.

Amazon/AWS really shows this in it's core web sites and console, which are really backwards and show no signs of improvement or evolution, because all the people that built it have been fired by now or moved on.

Microsoft originally thrived on this, but eventually the culture collapses into backstabbing and the worst breed of middle management Machiavellis, and any productivity is new bolt-on products.

So IMO Bezos built a fundamentally good infrastructure ten years ago that is fuelling Amazon's continued growth, but if anyone fundamentally improves in some way that Amazon would need to fundamentally change the company it will be impossible.
Hardly. The Republicans are against databases, population registration, ID cards, and gun tracking databases. It's only the voter ID they're in favour of.
That only works if you're synchronizing those changes with your other identifiers (cookies, local storage, ip, etc.) Otherwise you're going to be "that guy" that constantly changes his values with every page load.

My idea would be to clone Meetup.com as much as possible and aggressively pitch it as a "Meetup alternative." Use similar color scheme and branding, and have a Meetup.com migration tool to import existing groups and user accounts. The changeover has to be as smooth as possible, there are many non-technical Meetup organizers. It needs to stand out from the other Meetup clones. People don't know where to go.

Really though I don't think Meetup is going to die. WeWork is selling it, there's no way the market would just let this huge captive audience of active users implode. Maybe FB wil buy it.

That was a startup two decades back. Built on automated pattern cutting. MVP was customized khakis. You'd enter detailed measurements on a website; machine-cut parts were assembled "manually" the next-ish day; then FedEx. Had a little tag with a number, so you could order "just like N, but let out a 1/2 inch". It was nifty.

It was acquired by Levis, which mismanaged it into nonexistence. Last-ish factory in the US providing that assembly closed, plus the patent, and that was the end of that. IIRC.
