>Because making broad assumptions about 50% of the population isn't a cool thing to do.

Is it that those assumptions are not cool to make about 100% of the population either? Is it wrong of me to assume that the average person does not want to talk about code?

Because if it isn't wrong to make the assumption about the average person, but it is wrong to make it about some subset, then isn't that, at its very core, treating that demographic different than the average?

>Generally, people will talk about most topics - even if they aren't passionate about those topics themselves.

Yes, most people will engage in enough conversation to be polite. But there is a significant difference between talking about something a person cares about and them politely carrying on a conversation they aren't interested in. These are not the same behavior and do not generally result in the same outcome . And none of this has to do with gender as I notice this when talking with friends of either gender.

If we could do a reset, there's no way people would choose to allocate around half of public space just for cars. And especially when a significant portion of that is space taken up by empty cars that are serving no one. We should abolish almost all street parking in the city.

Charging is not going to fix that problem. If anything, the closer you get to charging market rates, the less accessible it becomes to anyone other than the richest of the rich.

Hey, kudos to you for admitting this! I mean that seriously. There are very few folks who actually try to learn and understand things: it appears that you're one of them.
The problem is not the bugs, it's that it was probably recommended to them as a reliable solution, loosing them hours of work. This can't build trust, especially for such an important part of infrastructure: you'll always wonder when it's going to hit you next.

I didn't suggest you had to "exchange a number of emails back and forth"; I suppose I've never been in any community that I'm aware of where users were banned without even a simple "You were banned because [fill in reason]" message. I haven't moderated any community like that before, either, and I've been a moderator in several communities over the past few years. (To clarify, by "few years" I mean "about twenty.")

In any case, we're not talking about a community forum, we're talking about an account that's necessary for Rambo's business. I suppose you may sincerely believe that it would be absolutely fine if your employer or your bank or the sole source of a component that you need for a business suddenly stopped doing business with you and didn't bother to ever explain why. But I hope you understand why a lot of us think that's maybe not the best possible approach.

Sorry, I disagree with many of these, especially if you make the mistake of thinking that the amount you get paid at work applies to your free time. Or at least, these kinds of decisions to outsource a task aren't so clear cut as the above makes it seem.

Also, some (I caveat, some) people who start to think their personal time is "billable" turn into insufferable jerks.

Most people cannot turn a random free hour into extra salary. And if you outsource all the things above, you may end up having learned nothing about how to live or relate and understand normal life.

You're not going to become a billionaire by doing this. Learn to do the things that you should do yourself, and judiciously outsource those that legit save you time and unnecessary mental exhaustion.

They sort of do answer the question, they aren't accepting money from Google for the right to be the default search engine. They are accepting a portion of search revenue for searches made through Google via Safari. This incentivises them to make Google the homepage even if it is not an explicit requirement of the deal.

These things are interesting, this sound is so common in Swedish so it feels like it would be common everywhere but I can't think of any English word where I use it. Like, chocolate has that sound in Swedish but not in English. It is kinda like when I learned that J and Y are pronounced differently in English, both are pronounced like Y in Swedish and the J sound doesn't exist.

I didn't even hear the difference between them when native English speakers talked for over a decade. It was only when I saw people making fun of a guy for not knowing the difference that I looked it up, and now the difference sounds so obvious!
Thank you so much for the positive feedback. We're so happy to hear you like the concept!
Unless I missed a quick hand maneuver, the storage technique you demonstrate, while result in a neatly coiled cable, doesn't involve a counter clockwise twist for every clockwise one, thus creating tension in the cable.
For thin cables (and guylines), the figure 8 coil is a better technique. It is just as fast to perform and each twist in the cable is canceled out by a twist in the other direction thus creating less tension in the sheath, and potentially extend the cable lifetime by introducing less inner breakage points.

Here is an example for how I store guylines attached to my tarp:

I dunno, I got electrocuted repeatedly a few weeks ago, not sure the voltage, I was using a wet saw and didn't realize the rubber had worn out on my boots and the steel plate in the soles was touching the floor. Every time I turned the saw on or touched it when it was running I got electrocuted. It was kind of funny, nobody could figure out why i was the only one being electrocuted. All my coworkers came and touched it and were fine. But, it wasn't the pain that got to me, it was the weird feeling in my body after.

All the rest of that day I felt weird. My skin felt too sensitive, my arms would twitch randomly, and I just felt kind of weak and vaguely dizzy all day. I did end up figuring it out and putting a rubber mat down which immediately stopped the electrocution problem. But I really don't like being electrocuted at all. It just isn't pleasant.

On topic, all our machines get locked and tagged before opening the electrical cabinets or working on anything where you might be exposed to live wires. It's enforced by worker's comp also. We get randomly inspected fairly regularly and one thing they check is that we have lockout keys and locks on every machine breaker.
This one is much better!
Sometimes people just want someone to blame. If you listen, you might become that someone.
The downside to that is you lose a lot of the newer fast charge features. USB-C power delivery specifically requires communication between the charger and the device to determine what voltage the charger will provide.
Also the state wants to control PG&E but doesn’t want to take any of the blame for how PG&E are regulated. Of course they are nominally “private”. The state also bears responsibility but of course they have a ready scapegoat!

Remind me again, which regulations required PG&E to keep such poor records that blowing up a San Bruno neighborhood was a result? Which regulations forced them to dump toxic chemicals (hexavalent chromium) into the Hinkley water? Which regulations forced PG&E to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on stock buybacks instead of undergrounding high risk wires? Which regulations forced PG&E to pay out copious dividends instead of vegetation management?
The phone also charges with your AC charger though, and likely faster. Your gain is merely having to get just a cable out, instead of cable + AC adapter.

And if you're worried about a shortage of outlets, the savvy traveler thing to do is carry a multi-outlet tap and facilitate sharing, which also works at 120/240 and not 5V.

A typical computer used by a typical person has only a fraction of energy use of GPU farms utilized to train DNN models. We're not at the point where you can pick an existing DNN off the shelf and just use it, you have train (at least partially) a new one for each new task, often many times.

> Why isn’t there a market for selling a minority stake of your profitable tech company to people who’d be happy to be paid back in distributions and dividends, rather than capital gains?

Off the top of my head, a few reasons:

1) How is an investor supposed to cash out of such a deal in a reasonable amount of time? What's the secondary market for the stake, in other words?

2) There is already a large sector specifically devoted to funding small, profitable businesses: banking. Banks are climbing over each other to give out business loans to companies with solid financials. If you're confident in your business, what's wrong with a loan? I often see this as founders wanting to have their cake and eat it too ("I want money, but not an actual obligation to pay it back").

3) Despite what founders often think, small businesses, despite profitability, are often high risk investments in the medium term. If you're going to gamble on a risky investment, you typically want the potential upside to be correspondingly high (i.e., the VC model).

I bet that AT&T can detect "non-real-user" phone numbers, so their hyperlink filter only acts on those numbers.

I have been using Google Voice as my secondary phone number for the past 5 years, and some services manage to detect that it isn't a real phone number and refuse to work with it. More specifically, it usually happens when I try to use 2FA over SMS (note: i know that 2FA over SMS is not considered secure, but some of the services I use only offer this as their 2FA, and it is better than me not using 2FA at all). It doesn't just fail to deliver the message, the service straight up tells me to enter a "real" phone number.
The same argument would make you not want to drink water from a public fountain, or eating at a restaurant as opposed to cooking your own food. It's a matter of implicit risk analysis. You need to charge your phone, you see a USB port. What are the odds that it's going to be wired to something other than 5V? If that were the case, what's the worst that can happen? It works out for the vast majority of people.
If that was true, then why are the specs for the PurpleAir II identical with the Adafruit sensor ?

You provide absolutely no data to back up your claims that there is extra logic on the PAII or that 2 sensors are better than one.
It is because you are making excuses and looking for ways out when a simple, but harsh, solution suffices. It is extremely tiring to have to deal with endless "cannot do D, because of C, because of B, because of A" when you just know that A through C are all BS reasons and you yourself as the listener would cut right through it. That is what causing the anger, not your "hard problem".

> If you step back and think about it, if this protest were to happen in the US, with subways burned, shops destroyed, road blocked, for 6 months. What is going to happen? Compare this hypothetical scenario with what happened in Hong Kong.

If the same protests happened in the US, with a quarter of the population marching peacefully on June 16 (as it did in Hong Kong), the government has to immediately respond to its people’s demands, for otherwise the current government will lose in landslide in the next election. And all the subway burning, shops destruction, etc will be avoided — these events happened at least three months into Hong Kong protests in September, long after the mega march on June 16.

Thank you for pointing out Hong Kong has no genuine democracy, which is directly related to one of the five key demands.

Ask HN: Has anyone with an issue-ridden touch-bar 15" MBP received a refund?
I bought a touch-bar MBP sight-unseen when they were announced, being the early adopter and fanboy that I was at the time. That unit was spec'd to be about $4,500 USD but ultimately was replaced with a unit one year newer after it had received 5 repairs.

This new unit has been repaired 3 times already. I can tell it's pretty much the same laptop and the issues will continue. I've requested a refund in efforts to get my hands on a 16", being that they fixed the poor keyboard and hopefully other issues as well (my unit's display flickers, its ports eject devices at random, and of course the keyboard fails every 3-6 mos).

I've apparently chatted with Tim Cook's right-hand woman but she says no refund is possible at this time - despite the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act - and I was free to find a lawyer. This rubs a long-time customer the wrong way very strongly.

Ignoring the previous statement, has anyone had luck getting a refund for these faulty 15" Macbook Pro's (with touch bar) outside Apple's normal return window for new purchases..?
We did fix one bug, but after the 2nd incident decided that using a tool that silently corrupts your repository is not worth the marginal benefit it provides against alternative more naive solutions. Most companies run post-merge checks so in the event of a bad merge, the offending commit can be isolated and reverted, or have a cron running at a regular cadence to isolate the issue to a set of commits. Having your repo reflect developer’s patches is really table stakes for a tool like this anyway.

>> But defining good as having access to cheaper goods is an intensely political statement

> This would be apolitical in all but the most semantic of arguments. "Buying the things I want to buy" is assumed to be a good thing by the vast majority of people.

That's a myopic view: it's not the only good thing, and it's arguable that it's not even the most important good thing. The politics are embedded in the shape of the myopia.
The argument put forth in "Paper: Paging Through History" is actually the opposite. Europe was exposed to cheap, disposable paper through trade for centuries but scorned it until they had a need for it.

(While "Paper" is partially a history book, it also has as a thesis that societal change leads to technological change, rather than the opposite, and attempts to demonstrate it through the history of paper.)
