>But I've also seen dozens of friends get stuck in their emotional (and educational) development for years because of weed.

Weed has different effects on different people. Assuming that weed will have the same effect on everyone is obviously a bad assumption.

There are tons of stories about many different things (gluten, msg, sugar, caffiene, coffee, tea, ice cream, tylenol, etc. etc.) having different effects on different people. Sometimes those differences are completely perceptional, and sometimes they are physical, but the outcomes are definitively different.

It's a deep cognitive bias to ignore this fact.
Thanks for pointing this out. I agree 100%. When I find myself in this situation however I find it hard to be authentically sympathetic. And if it's not authentic I have trouble doing it at all. Am I broken? Is there anyway to work on this?
You noted the irony that you're giving us advice about not giving advice. But there's actually a double irony because you're giving advice about not giving advice due to your friend giving you advice about not giving advice.

I always found it helpful to bring a portable charger wherever I go. Very affordable these days. The RavPower one I have is good for like 5-8 full iphone charges.
The article is simply incorrect. The VT100 (and VT52 before it) had an ESC key, right where you'd expect it to be. Just about any terminal you might have bought in the 1970's had one.

It's shown clearly in the document the article (indirectly) points to: https://vt100.net/docs/vt100-ug/chapter1.html
Seriously, that’s only 0.7 mm. It could be the diameter?
It is one thing for somebody to notice and use such fibers, and completely another for the practice to become part of the material culture.

Archaeology is concerned with the latter. How a practice entered the material culture is an interesting detail.
There is a particular form of statistical inference which is not well-understood as problematic. I will use my “smart” scale as an example. It takes weight and several impedance measurements, which are taken from a large population along with body composition truth measurements from DEXA, and the coefficients of the algorithm are determined by regression. It should be no surprise that the weight measurement overpowers all other measurements in the regression, and the impedance covariance is ill-conditioned, so really it’s just a height and weight formula. My information gain from the impedance measurement is zero. The correct way to do the regression is in reverse, from more (relevant) information to less, so the parameters should be well-conditioned. This is assuming that DEXA contains all useful information to predict impedance. If not, forget about the whole thing. If that model works, then the reverse can be found through Bayesian optimization. You still have bias set by the covariance prior, but it is at least known, and you can give information about how it is affecting the result.
This link is very vague: they only talk about a “global data panel” without saying how it’s constructed. You can’t build a representative sample if you don’t have an idea of what the global traffic might be like. See also https://blog.alexa.com/alexa-panel-increase/:

> our traffic estimates are based on data from our global panel, which is a sample of millions of Internet users using one of many different browser extensions. However, we don’t just rely on browser extensions. We also gather much of our traffic data from direct sources, including sites that have chosen to install the Alexa script and certify their metrics. It is this unique combination of data from our global panel, plus data from directly measured sources, filtered through our advanced statistical models that allow us to provide you with robust and comprehensive metrics.

Actually, many developers with similar lines of thinking rigidly adhere to their ideologies about Apple, whether it be related to process, supply chain, licensing, whatever, and refuse to develop for Apple platforms outright. That is quite respectable.

"I just can't turn down the market so I'm simply forced to develop for platforms I loathe (all the way to my checking account)," on the other hand... yeah, that's a touch more obvious.
Feedback is imperative and we wanted to put a spin on how it’s delivered to make it much more meaningful. We’re starting a new series where we interview people in our community that post their side projects on our website (https://sideprojects.net).

None of the companies you listed are allowed to operate without partnering with a Chinese company.
If you accept them as operating in China, then given 95% of consumer goods have "Made in China" stamped on them, China operates just as much in the US. The above poster's point is still wrong, but so are you.
Poor Americans in the rust belt are poor largely because of the decimation of a path to the middle class.

They support Ryzen with their Thelio desktops so ... maybe. That said I recently wanted to get a Ryzen laptop and could not find one that seemed worth buying. I am not sure if AMD really offers a truly competitive laptop chip yet. I wound up building a custom desktop with a 3700x and am running Pop_OS on it. Like it so far ... just cannot travel with it. Would definitely be interested in a laptop, was about to buy the Galaga but decided to build a desktop because I wanted to try the AMD processor.

My wife is an RN in the ICU, and she has had patients on an Arctic Sun. That also cools the body to prevent brain damage, but it only brings the temperature down by a few degrees (around 91.4 F, or 33 C).

Patients on an Arctic Sun usually don't survive, but that's generally due to the condition that put them there to begin with. (For instance, one patient had a blood sugar of 1600; a normal blood sugar is around 100.) She did have one patient who made it off the Arctic Sun with no deficit; without it, he may very well be brain-dead.

It takes work!

While you don't hit it off with everyone, you'll likely find that there are some amount of folks you meet at conferences, in the community or otherwise that you could see spending time with or getting to know.

Keep updated with those people, follow them on social media, send them articles or links of things that you know they're interested in and call them from time to time.

Beyond that, if you can place facilitator of needs, awesome. You know x person has a need for a person with skill y, and you z person with y skill. Link them up!

This doesn't come without some level of intentionality. The main thing though is to build relationships and community with no expectation of a return. Genuinely do it because you want to model the type of behavior you want to see in others.

I don't see how this would improve the situation, and it would most likely make it worse.

Devs have no right to demand that Apple let them into their ecosystem. It belongs to Apple. The ultimate dev recourse is not to go complaining to the government but to build their own ecosystem that out-competes Apple's. Good luck.
Pretty incredible exchange you are having with people right now where you are just straight up ignoring valid points or sweeping them aside as idealism...
Generally when people come to you about their problems they do not want or even need advice. Whenever I am in that position I try to help them understand the problem, by just asking questions to understand the problem clearly myself.

You can dig pretty deep in that way and they may open up to the root of the issue, and sometimes reveal a belief that is preventing them from carrying out the correct action.

In many cases once they have talked at length about the problem so that all it's ramifications are as clear for you as they are for them, they have also greatly increased their own perception of their problem, which generally reveals an obvious solution (and this is the important bit) that they themselves have to put into words.
The "solution" may be obvious to you, but if you present it as such immediately you will get pushback.

I don't think anyone of us has seen consent request by facebook or google in this form (freely given != 'give consent or you can't use or services, specific/informed/unambiguous != barried in miles of legal giberish,...):

Recital 32
EU GDPR
(32) Consent should be given by a clear affirmative act establishing a freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her, such as by a written statement, including by electronic means, or an oral statement.

This could include ticking a box when visiting an internet website, choosing technical settings for information society services or another statement or conduct which clearly indicates in this context the data subject's acceptance of the proposed processing of his or her personal data.

Silence, pre-ticked boxes or inactivity should not therefore constitute consent.

Consent should cover all processing activities carried out for the same purpose or purposes.

When the processing has multiple purposes, consent should be given for all of them.

If the data subject's consent is to be given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided.
> I don't full get why not even an option of an AMD-based system is available.

Intel has been mired in an anti-trust lawsuit in the EU for a decade now, on charges that they offer deep discounts to OEMs on the condition that they don't ship products from competitors (read: AMD) in volume. Such a program would put substantial pressure on OEMs to avoid AMD, since they'd still need to ship a large number of Intel-based products, and losing those discounts would mean their Intel-based products would end up substantially more expensive than their competitors'. The only way to get out of the trap would be to ship nothing but AMD-based products, and demand for Intel is still strong enough that doing so would essentially be committing suicide.

All of which would explain why you don't see many AMD-based products from OEMs on the shelves, despite AMD's clear superiority in the latest generation.
China Daily has an office in NYC [1], and publishes a US edition of their newspaper. This is a newspaper directly owned by the CCP. And you can pick up a copy of the regular China Daily in many cities. Is the uncensored New York Times available in China? I think not. Trying to equate the two is ridiculous. No one is going to buy your argument that "manufacturing consent" means that the level of freedom of speech is the same in the US and China. It's just completely wrong.

[1] http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/2011-04/13/content_12319455.htm

When the police come in and arrest everyone working for the China Daily in NYC and send them to jail and physically torture them like the CCP did to Simon Cheng or harvest their organs like the CCP did to Falun Gong followers, then you can make your argument. And many people in the US will fight just as hard for the rights of China Daily US Edition as they fight for freedom of speech and universal suffrage in Hong Kong.

>Finally, there’s a difference between merely studying a place from afar and enacting policies that dramatically affect said place.

Economists do not enact those policies -- they suggest policies. The fisherman also suggests policies to benefit his own work, just as the steel worker suggests his own policies, and just as the architect, the construction crews, the parents, the etc..

These policies are aggregated, and enacted, by your politician (of cascading hierarchy), whose job is to do that -- review the possible set of policies and their impact on different areas of his total domain, and with this overarching view, enact policies. The fisherman does not himself review his policies for how they would impact the steel worker, and neither does the economist review his policies for how they will impact the presidential election.

If your local politician is blindly following the recommendations of the economist, without concern for the rest of his domain, whose fault is that but the politician's?

The economist is not supposed to be an expert in all things about the world, and it would be absurd to imagine him to be. He is intended to be an expert of his domain (economics), and is meant to be one of many experts, each supplying their own, scoped, understanding of the world.

If the economist claims that his suggested policies will purely benefit all aspects of the economy, and have zero negative impact, then it would be fair to blame him, because he was plainly incorrect about the area he's intended to be an expert in. But if he fairly claimed that it would generally be beneficial, but certain areas of the economy would be impacted negatively in such a fashion, and his predictions are generally correct, then he has done his job without fault. The decision to enact the policy, knowing the benefits and the losses, is not made by him.
Ready Player One movie comes to mind; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_Player_One_(film)

I had similar reaction when initially thinking through such a centralized architecture - and made me understand that a decentralized computational infrastructure ("personal computers") is a necessary failsafe to prevent against pitfalls of such centralization; similar reason as to why I think mesh network technology should potentially be everywhere, however not used as a default network.

These are the systems and failsafes, along with canaries we build into systems, that we need to educate everyone about - so the public can clearly understand and have a document available for them be able to refer to.

I would expect that either Uber would find a way for its iPhone users to side-load their app, or Uber would calmly point out to Apple how many users they were likely to lose.
> ARM on the other hand seems to thrive on the other end of the spectrum--low power consumption and inexpensive

Tell that to the Fujitsu people building the A64fx chip. (Which by the way turns out uses HBM for system memory. I was dreaming of AMD doing this!!) Or even just to Marvell/Cavium :)

I mean, it does thrive in low-power applications, but it's by no means tied to them. A lot of companies going for ARM in the datacenter now: Marvell, Ampere, Huawei, NXP, Mellanox… and Amazon!

> I don't know how well the POWER line has progressed since say 2004ish

Well, IBM has been building big, powerful and relatively expensive chips. NXP has been slowly sort of getting off the POWER ISA and embracing ARM more.

> Wouldn't most solutions require that you cram the IO subsystems into the silicon SoC package?

Huh? The whole point of "SoC" is cramming everything onto the one package. It's the most efficient way to do things, and everything from the Raspberry Pi's Broadcrap chip to the biggest AMD EPYC is a SoC. Most desktop systems aren't 100% True™ SoCs as they require a chipset/PCH, but that chipset is very minimal these days.
If I recall correctly, ML first appeared as part of the Edinburgh LCF theorem prover in 1979 and it did not have modules at that time.
That is a very appropriate user name. Why should the most populous state out of 50 states get to decide how the other 49 go about their business? State lines are borders, which are arbitrary delineations within a given region according to many. What makes California so important? Is it the money potential, which implies the wealthy should rule (AKA aristocracy)? Is it the fact that it is 12% of the total population?

It also doesn't happen to lean democratic. That is the product of years of manipulation, lobbying, and cultural shift. Regardless, the point of the EC is to balance out population centers and rural areas as their contributions are different in terms of the Nation. It is an apples to oranges situation. Leaving aside the fact that California is an absolute disaster in terms of social and ecological management by their government, there is no logic outside of Marxist dialectical approach that makes a coherent argument for why they should get to pick the president.
i actually had this conversation with a friend last night, and we figured the effort put in to serve ads to an audience so vehemently blocking them probably costs way more than the potential revenue, considering if a user is blocking ads they are probably hostile to any messaging anyways.

It's the only way to solve a problem when new players are free to enter at any time. (So, this one time things may be different, but it's not a certainty.)

Of course, part of the game rules must be player punishment, otherwise the game is severely broken. But yes, you don't fix anything by focusing on the players.
It’s telling that when the establishment agrees with you executive orders and privileges are just that. If they disagree then it’s “it’s your privilege but you’re abusing it”.

What seems to be happening is people are losing some of their dirty money connections (like these post term engagements and talk circuits and appointments where you have no expertise, etc and these people are furious and upset. So they are willing to engage in destabilization or at the minimum distractive tactics (collusion didn’t work, let’s try this for that, no, let’s try bribery, if that doesn’t work it’ll be something else).

Not to say the current president is a Saint, but it would appear he’s ruffled some important feathers, otherwise they just wait him out.
I totally agree. I have noticed that HackerNews isn't immune to the cult following that Apple has. In every Apple related thread there are people irrationally and fanatically advocating for the company. It's shocking because otherwise HackerNews tends to have relatively level headed users.
Closing the issues with an explanation of some sort would be one thing. But closing and locking them without any explanation is very strange. It makes it very difficult for anyone with the same problem to find any sort of explanation.
