Just as another data point, I actually love weed with no desire to quit, and I too found myself questioning if it's even something I want to keep in my life after a psychedelic experience.

One of the weird things about psychedelics is that you'll often think "why don't I take better care of myself?" which often includes not doing the drugs or living the lifestyle that gave you that insight.

I also think I enjoy weed less since I've had that experience, which I'm a little disappointed about, but I feel like I have a much better compass for making good decisions now. I replaced grams in blunts with small amounts of whole leaf vaporization after that.
https://medium.com/@todsacerdoti/introducing-pipedream-bbca9... is an accompanying article. Was originally the submitted URL.
And women and children being able to walk the streets without being harassed is another -- as you might write "(perceived)" -- incentive.
Google is failing to organize the world's information in a way that is useful to me. I wanted to look up how to split a NURBS surface in half. You know, the math behind computing the new point and weights. All I got was a bunch of stuff from CAD vendors talking about how to manipulate NURBS in their own tools.

Since then, I've seen more of this trend. It's hard to find information about how anything works now because most the results are commercial - SEOed to be high in the rankings.

I'd like an option to screen out commercial results in favor of more informational ones. They're supposed to be helping me find information right? But in reality they've shifted to feeding me marketing information.
Yahoo Japan has nothing to do with the American Yahoo tho... It looks beautiful btw: https://www.yahoo.co.jp/ - still using the old look.

"In 2017, Verizon Communications purchased the core internet business of America-based Yahoo!, and merged them into Oath, Inc. Yahoo! Japan was not affected. It continued as a joint venture between Softbank and what remained of Yahoo! Inc., renamed Altaba."

This is exactly the thing that has always bothered me about PowerShell. A lot of PowerShell's effectiveness derives from the number of nouns that Microsoft has built support for, and a defining trait of any given script is usually the set of nouns it operates over, so it's weird to me that all the commands start with the verb.
I think this is better for something like a Nintendo. To put it in a phone is kinda invasive. I would hope that at minimum the chip can only be specifically activated by the user in specific apps. To just have it on all the time is kinda crazy. Are they going to disclose when they can identify WHO is using it rather than just multiple bodies, etc...
That’s not the topic of the article and not what I’m arguing against, just to be clear.
I read that often, also in this thread. But it isn't working for me. Meaning is not a rational concept, I guess it is a feeling. I say guess, because I've never experienced it. I only know, that the lack of meaning is a feeling.

One day, I might stumble into a life where everything clicks together and the lack of meaning withers away. But that's not going to be a rational decision. "I conclude that this way of life is meaningful. 5 minutes later, I feel meaningful". Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?
Man. I certainly lived through all this and remember it, but I cannot imagine ever being so enraged at Yahoo, nor even the notion of a Yahoo employee defending the company. Sure they were the Titanic, maybe they still are. Companies make mistakes and die off, it's ok.
It appears only non-profit organizations are allowed to use Google Play In-app Billing for donations, which is fine.

But why are we forbidden from linking to an external page that lists other ways to support a project, such as Patreon?

I think we should stop being apologetic, and begin to call out Google for the damage they are inflicting upon open source developers.
They're trying to prevent money laundering.
I think that is an error in the article. I live in Boise. The law allows ticketing if there IS room in shelters. People would not be ticketed if the shelters are full.

Not saying it's a good law. But the article is wrong.

Edit: Here is the relevant section of the actual code.

> Enforcement: Law enforcement officers shall not enforce this camping section when the individual is on public property and there is no available overnight shelter

Yeah, great. Except for the users who Google got hooked on a given service, who then have troubles finding alternatives as Google tends to suck the oxygen out from the room whenever they release something.
Apple's cut is a hell of a lot more than 2.9% + $0.30.
No it's not, the article addresses environmental concerns in a separate paragraph right above that. Whether or not you or I were convinced by the preceeding environmental argument is irrelevant, the quoted excerpt about salt ponds was specifically addressing the issue of percieved beauty (not environmental concerns).
Number of files shared that you know about, which I think is a pretty important distinction. Bit harder to track sharing over Tor, after all. (Which is the point!)

Agreed. If I'm so close to a phone, why would I swipe in the air? I also believe that making those Soli actions requires more muscle energy compared to tapping the screen with one finger.
Or just support calling "verb(noun)" as "noun.verb()" all the way through: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Function_Call_Syntax
Don’t feel so bad, the article is also sounds like it was written by someone who has never been to LA. Skid Row overflowed into Little Tokyo several years ago, creating a new ad hoc neighborhood name “Skid Rokyo”.

Oh and the there’s the giant homeless encampments every 1-3 miles as you drive around LA.
Socializing is important, but commuting, sitting in an open office with bright lights, loud co-workers etc doesn't balance against my social needs very well. I work on a small team, me and my co-workers see each other usually twice a week, once in the office and once at the coffee shop. Along with my other social activities, I get plenty of interaction and I still don't have a daily commute. The social aspect of work only becomes super important when work is your whole life and you've got nothing else going on.
Google is good at innovating in computer science and computer engineering. Google is not particularly good at innovating product ideas. This makes sense given how they find and hire talent.
> Just let the in-app purchase unlock some cosmetics in the app like games do.

I contribute to projects that are committed to never locking away features behind licenses or in-app purchases, because most open-source projects in that space eventually went down that route.
This was calculated by Cisco & Cybersecurity Ventures, who both directly profit from the fear generated by these figures. I do not trust these figures.

This is marketing for CIO/CISO's to read so they make sure to add in various security features to their BoM for purchase.
America has an attitude problem. It thinks it is already developed. Like, there is nothing left to do. That is the single biggest difference between the America of today and the America of the last century.

The Netherlands feels more like India, in that everything is under a state of continual improvement all the time. The Netherlands is fantastically futuristic, though, and super nice (much more developed than most of America). That's because they don't think they are "done".

Here is a map of the parts of the Netherlands that are under water. https://images.app.goo.gl/c5E11LJfLETAFFBy9
It will be so fun to watch my 2 year old play with this . If it’s good we’ll be happy if it’s bad it’ll be like the iOS 7 upgrade from 6 when my other then 2 year was so frustrated she threw the ipad down the street shattering into many parts
It looks about right though, doesn't it? What else would fit the dots better?

Repulsive is absolutely the right word for this effect.

Edit for one more thought on this: it also gave me an appreciation for vegans and vegetarians. I was eating chicken while tripping once and really had some inner conflict over if it was ok to eat another animal. I'll never be a vegetarian, but for a brief moment I understood what all my hippie friends are on about :)

You can, but I don't think you're supposed to direct your users to put their credit card info in, that all needs to be handled somewhere outside the app (with a message like please sign in on our website). Which seems very blatantly anticompetitive to me.

Now that I think of it, Uber has you put your credit card in. I'm not sure why that's allowed
The premise is naive speech may inadvertently force negative and clouding emotion in the recipient, and is aimed at critical scenarios, where misinterpretation of speech causes the recipient's body chemistry to activate, and then the conv goes off a cliff and things get even worse. If you don't believe that is happening, the techniques for identifying where it is happening and how to simply avoid them seems kind of pointless.

There may be some reason preventing your use of the word 'violent' for verbal ways to cause negative physical reactions and mental trauma. You may want to ask yourself why you are downplaying the core principle here and, I'm guessing, the agency of the speaker in it..
The Kinect caused a huge wave of innovation. It was a convenient and low-cost source of RGBD data, and many robotics labs got a few when it was released.

They're just variants on the IFF theme.[1] All of these files are broken into chucks with a FourCC header (sometimes with letters alternately upper or lower case, depending on features and version) that includes a chunk length and occasionally a checksum. It's a very simple and flexible format that almost no one since the '90s seems to use any more for new file formats, the only exceptions being the likes of PNG, MPEG, and a couple other things.

Does one really need to be incentivized to stop living on the street? I would think the incentives are obvious. The problem is the means.

401K match is garbage but salaries are decent. I’d say we’ve gotten far more competitive in pay, and that’s not even counting the crazy stock appreciation over the past several years. In terms of overall benefits, we aren’t competitive - which makes sense considering Amazon isn’t a cash printing machine like FB or Google. We genuinely don’t have the money to spend unless Bezos was to deliberately sell $1 billion each year for Amazon corporate benefits. That itself is a fuzzy proposition - how do you give benefits to these corporate badges while squeezing warehouse workers? If you do something, it should benefit everyone.
The package can simply be installed from pypi

$ pip install simple_gpu_scheduler

When I run this, I get:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement simple_gpu_scheduler (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for simple_gpu_scheduler

on Ubuntu 16.04. Admittedly I don't know much about Python or pypi so perhaps the issue is on my end. Nonetheless, I'm not 100% sure how to resolve this.

Except, in case of iOS AppStore, you don't have the choice of a third party store or even side-loading ability.

And they are in the process in doing so (partly by closing the platform through read-only system partition and expecting the app developer to sign the app through Apple means) with MacOS.

The platform is not yet closed, as the system partition can still be mounted in read-write mode and notarization can be bypassed for now. But their are clearly in the process to make these changes permanent in near future. Reason why they introduced them in Catalina.
Your original post was about a trend of users moving to private communities. I don't see why revenues and valuation matter for this?

OFF the street?

Of course all urban centers are so starved of entry level housing that anything good enough to minimally get a homeless person off the street (bathroom, place to sleep, maybe kitchenette) would also be swamped by everyone from the poor and working, college students, immigrants, etc.

Suppressing this housing is all done in the name of maintaining and increasing housing values for the affluent. If you increase the supply of housing, the value of housing drops, and white people don't want that.
Neither is true. Well, the first might be true for you in your mind, but doesn't change the fact that C is a high level language modelling an abstract system, and providing that model through its standard libraries (which is what makes it possible to write portable code).

And the second with -O3 could not be more wrong, and I can prove it: compile anything with gcc -S -O3 and behold the extra code which a human would never write because it's unnecessary.
Ya, HN strips the "Why" part out of titles automatically.
That's what I thought too, but it looks like it's just getting restricted to private groups and disallowing media/content uploads.

It's probably to push people off so they can shut it down later.
this is both non-sense. proscriptive arguments drawn from nothing but your single minded authority have little value in discurs. "a software" (sorry) is quite frequent. fullstop.

This is a very broad point. It's compatible with everything from "anything goes as long as you connect via HTTPS" to "Big Brother is watching if you don't turn off all electronics nearby and talk quietly".

The next sentence says that they haven't really thought about it yet: "We are consulting on definitions of private communications, and what measures should apply to these services."
This is horrible.

Some Yahoo Groups must be still active as mailing lists, or at least an archive for some niche communities, and they have irreplaceable, valuable information. I don't know other groups, but I know the Tektronix oscilloscope group (TekScopes) has been on Yahoo for a decade, and it's often the only source of information about vintage Tektronix oscilloscopes that dated back to the 1960s, some were former engineers with firsthand experience who can help to fix your scope or identify a replacement part, and the mailing list archive has a lot of lost knowledge that cannot be found elsewhere.

Well, fortunately TekScopes migrated to Groups.io in recent years, which is good. But just think about other groups...
Brutal article. They're trying to conduct a violent purge/exile of homeless while dressing it up as caring about them. Give them houses wtf
Yeah as someone who travels through all three, Luik / Liège definitely eats the cake. Not only is it slow, it’s also difficult to navigate if you’re not familiar with the area.

Maastricht was always mostly pleasant, and Bad Oeyenhaus I typically use as an excuse to take a break at one of the McDonalds there.
> Not sure why you're so confident with this when most people I tell are surprised that their new Macbook touchpad is entirely haptic and not actually moving.

I'm not really sure I understand this, I remember a fair amount of discussion when it came out. But, just trivially, I have the latest MacBook Pro, and if I look at it from the side, it is indeed clearly moving as I press down, and not as some sort of weird millisecond-delayed sort of thing, if I press hard (for force touch), the trackpad clearly angles downward. If I continue holding down, the trackpad continues to be tipped down.

From an experience perspective, whatever the MacBook Pro trackpad does is quite different than the haptic thing my phone does, which does not feel like a press at all (and does indeed feel different in the new iPhone 11 Pro's from the previous XS's that had actually "pressable" screens).
Doesn't matter. Cyber Command has a contingency plan, called Nitro Zeus, using cyber and other methods, to shut down the entire country of Iran. It's a full-scale attack in waiting.

When Nakasone and Cyber Command looked at what their digital weapons could contribute to the battle plan, they focused on the Iranian targets that they could reach by boring into the country's networks: Iran's air defense, its communications systems, and its power grid. Nitro Zeus would be the opening act of the war plan: turning off an entire country so fast that retaliation would have been extremely difficult. It was also, in the minds of some of its creators, a glimpse of the future. The idea was to plunge the target country into blackness and confusion from the very beginning of a conflict. That would give Israel and the United States time to bomb the many suspected nuclear sites, take pictures of how much damage was done, and if necessary bomb them again. But the hope was that Nitro Zeus would avert an all-out war, because the Iranians would, in theory, not be able to strike back. As part of the plan, Iran's missile capability would also have been targeted.

So, even as President Obama was worried about the vulnerability of America's electric grid, the United States was tunneling inside Iran's grid - along with its cell-phone network and even the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' command-and-control systems.

"This was pretty mind blowing to me," one former official said. "Here we were, going to work every day behind sealed doors, essentially trying to figure out if it was possible to cripple an entire nation's infrastructure without ever firing a shot or dropping a bomb. So we littered Iran's networks with malware," he said, a reference to the process of placing implants in key strategic systems that could, later on, be used to inject destructive code or simply turn the networks off.

"The hard part was keeping track of all of it," he said. Keeping track was tricky business because networks always change - and because there was no way to test Iran's vulnerabilities in field conditions. So Nakasone and the thousands of people at work on Nitro Zeus resorted to tabletop exercises, simulations of an attack. They tested and retested on a virtual model of Iran's networks to make sure that the implants were not visible to the Iranians and that collateral damage was limited. And they created answers from scratch to a series of questions: How do you take down the grid and keep it down? How about the air defenses? If the Iranians try to retaliate, how do you make sure they never get off the ground? "This was an enormous, and enormously complex, program," the former official said. "Before it was developed, the US had never assembled a combined cyber and kinetic attack plan on this scale."

I would consider a society in which you are not allowed to communicate with others without the government getting access to be one without a right to privacy. It's interesting how we can come to polar opposite conclusions about the implications of this technology.

(It seems that the difference may be in what exactly we consider to be a privacy violation. I would say that in the child-pornography case, the victim's privacy has been destroyed the moment the pictures have been observed and recorded by the abuser, and further reproduction is not a privacy violation because there is no privacy in the pictures left to violate. Since Tor and co. have no impact on the ability of a child pornographer to make the initial recording, they are an unalloyed good for privacy.)

Note all the extra electronics on the PD-Buddy-Sink, which OP specifically calls out: "Chips like the popular FUSB302 which only provide the wire level handling of the USB-PD protocol, require a lot of software work to make them reliably operational. And that software will need to run on a µC which adds to BOM." You can see the large STM32F(!? way overkill) on the PD-Buddy.

The STUSB4500 OP used allows for a much smaller, fully-integrated solution.
I don't see how this makes sense -- if someone wants to launder money, why would they need to find a donation link to their external donation system inside an android app?

I'm pretty sure they just want their cut.
I appreciate the sentiment but it's deliberate. I don't want to become high profile. The Python folks have made it pretty clear that they don't want continuity of Python 2 to "dilute the brand" of Python-as-Python-3, so I wanted to wave a big "Don't take this too seriously!" flag over this fork. (Also for the BBC, eh? It would be a little on the nose to call it "Blackadder". Or "Baldrick".)
Yep, for all the love of entrepreneurship and social justice, this site can be very conformist and pro-establishment,especially in economic/international matters.

That by the way this is my conspiracy theory, somehow in the last 20 years or so the focus of social movements changed from socio-economic and international inequalities, to gender-sexual orientation. Pretty convenient for the people in power. A me-too is 100 times easier to manage and even get advantage from compared to an occupy wall street.

You now see companies from P&G to Disney getting in the diverity wagon (purely for advertising reasons). For sure you wont see them advocating for better wages,work conditions or tax rules.
The article says that.

Boise Mayor David Bieter is attempting to challenge a landmark federal court ruling that prohibits cities from ticketing or arresting homeless people for sleeping or camping on public property if there are no shelter beds available as an alternative.
How's that plan going?

Political feasibility is relevant when deciding what to do. It doesn't matter which solution is best. It matters which solution we can actually make happen is best.

Personally, I doubt the political feasibility of paving over the bay, but it seems like telling rich people to get over their selves isn't working either.
