> Your contention that we should only care about minimum living standards requires a large amount of faith, not just in the system as it stands today, but that the system won't slowly erode those minimums over time because the poor lack the political and social power to keep their minimums. Without the power to protect your own interests, you're at the literal mercy of those who are better off than you to throw you a bone when you're most vulnerable.

Yeah, exactly. The focus should be on stuff like that rather than on wealth/income inequality; I can see we are on the same wavelength here. The natural solution to what you are talking about is to find ways to increase the standards of people who are not well off.

The natural solution to inequality is to disenfranchise the wealthy, which doesn't put food on the table (literally, in the extreme China/Russia/Zimbabwe style cases). It works really badly & everyone important tries to migrate somewhere capitalist when it is tried, which is a contributing factor to why it generally isn't the done thing.

If the focus is on inequality, then realising that a policy is not working will take a long time. If the focus is on living standards, feedback will be quick.
I think the keyword there was "Extensive". Literally nothing can be pushed to production without being A/B tested.
I’m not sure that assertion is borne out by the data: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2866602/

I think two big missing factors in your analysis are (1) profit — US drug companies pocketed something around $30 billion dollars this year, and (2) inefficiency - something like $20 billion dollars went into deg marketing in the US for example, which seems to me like almost a complete waste.
You mean the 'Validate your idea, build a prototype, show it to people, gather feedback, improve it and keep going' part? That's far from UX, and also far from marketing.. those are steps I'd take if starting a new project. BUT all those steps should be intersected with marketing from day one.
I didn't look into it very much back then. They were giving free hosting and subdomains back when such a thing was expensive and jumped on it for my homepage. Somehow I saw the Google cache of my page and it was surrounded by ads.

So they were serving different content to different clients based on user agent and/or IP block.

When I found out I deleted my account.

I see the site still exists, they might do the same thing. It's 3x on the .ro TLD.
Try the higher levels
- keep improving my flexibility: after 25 years of sitting in front of computer my back is a mess. I've started stretching during 2019 but progress is slooooow

- get back to doing more independent development after one year of working for an agency

- rewrite my SAAS. Right now it feels like it hit plateau and I need to change few major things to get it to next level and hopefully get it to the stage to sustain me full time

- build new building for wine production: it took me 4 years to get all paperwork done, now I hope construction is going to be faster
This has to be one of the best comments I've read on HN.

I've failed many times in my life on different adventures and it has always been because I couldn't see what was really going on due to frustration, emotional traumas, etc. Of course hindsight is 20/20 and I can see that a lot more clearly now that I turned 40.
So basically all the stuff that noone cares about? Maybe it's only a runtime if you really want to win a pointless argument?
Disappointing technologies: Face computers, space tourism and Juicero
My take: I don't think this is an issue. "What it is" is a sandbox for graphical K programs, which is already provided in the title. Given that K is already rather niche, and sandboxes are meant for playing with rather than general use programming, it seems like this toy isn't targeted towards a general audience and has no obligation to explain itself further than "K in your browser".
A quick heads up:

Working on the "neo-app" package and planning to get it done by January 2nd. Then you can create new neo.mjs apps with a 1-liner npx script.
> One of the bottom squares contain a mine, but it's impossible to say which one. You have to select one of them. But according to what I just said, that would mean certain death! I wanted the game to be cruel, but now it's unwinnable.

If it's not stalemate, haven't you won at that point? The tiles are practically in a state of quantum superposition where they are both safe and unsafe at the same time. You can't know without observing.

Except... the game rules say they're both mines if they're uncertain (in that version of the game), so the player has won because the game has been backed into a corner.

If there's a way to make that situation truly unpredictable, I'd be amazed. For example, if it was networked and another player worked a similar board, but they clicked one of the same tiles. So your clicking of a tile is the observation of what happened in someone else's game as opposed to a random calculation or game logic.

Right.

Vietnam still is a communist country in that respect.

The government still owns all the land and is legally leasing it to its citizens and foreigners. In reality, now that Vietnam is increasingly open to the world economy the government has to treat property rights better or else it'll scare foreign investment away.

The lack of private property rights and the Vietnam's Communist Party stranglehold on the economy with their state owned enterprises is a huge drag on productivity and innovation.

Fortunately, it seems like things are improving.
they aren't but it's misleadingly low statistic. I think la county has something like 38% of the economy of the country.

Most people aren't arguing this. Most people are discussing colloquial understanding of language and discussion. The differences you are arguing are important in a highly specialized area of math and science.

It feels like you're arguing whether an object is a Boeing 737 or an Airbus A320 when the important point is an airplane is not a car.
My guess at a correction: 'good in her game'
Look, I get the sentiment, and it is nice, the thing is though that the advice is not really applicable to most people on the planet and even if everybody that had those options available (i.e. were doing what is on the left and could do what is on the right instead) I don't think that it would solve our problems. Nuclear would go a lot further - but sure - not on fault lines.
No, is there one?
Yoga would be great for your first point. Dynamic vinyasa is a good workout for the mind and body, and it can be complemented with yin yoga to focus on flexibility even more.

Then why is the mind damaged in weird but predictable ways whenever the "antenna" is damaged.

Or simply, why do people behave differently when they are drunk? I mean, it's only their body that is drunk, not their soul (or wherever the mind supposedly resides), so how can alcohol have an impact on the mind?
The whole idea of having a hardware token is to separate what's at hand. Having the recovery codes in the password manager seems like a bad idea. Google recommends printing them.
Doesn't this signal to the malicious caller that your number is an active line with a human willing to pick up the call? I imagine that information is valuable to malicious callers who probably sell lists of active phone numbers of curious humans willing to pick up.
Absolutely, but I hope my comment was not taken as an endorsement by any means. I don't think most folks know how rampant it is. It was something I had read about and knew existed, but seeing it in person is eye opening. I know it's not my business and I shouldn't care, logically, but it makes me disgusted in some way every time.

>How do you go about starting growing though?

1. seed (online)

2. soil -- small locally owned plant store. ask them lots of questions

3. light -- same plant store, or the sun.

that's basically it to get started. It's a really easy plant to grow and pretty hard to fuck up. Check on them daily, talk to them, make sure the soil is moist but not muddy. You don't really need nutrients your first go, too many variables to fuss with. Just water, light, and time.
While I get the 'atmosphere' of the meeting just by reading this, there are quite a few valid points raised. Developer should not have access to real user data. Devs should be provided with DB schema definitions,info on data volumes and any other relevant information or metadata that is required to develop new features/migrate/etc. When it comes to databases with extremely sensitive data,i.e. banking, healthcare, criminal records, there must be an additional layer security that'd log anyone accessing particular records.

Linting for WithStack seems like it might be tough since you want to make sure the error was annotated exactly once (I think that’s the intended use, anyway?). The linter would need to know whether or not a fallible function call has annotated the error or not. Seems like an interesting exercise in any case.
Well, if you have multiple yubikeys on each site, then it can be used as a primary authentication method - because if you lose yubikey A, then the emergency fallback is yubikey B which you can use to revoke the access of yubikey A and add yubikey C instead.

Or, you have a set of one-time codes for recovery. I have accounts with a lot of sites, and all the sites that support proper U2F did have one-time recovery code option, because that's the fallback system that makes a lot of sense together with hardware tokens. Yes, the sites that support only things like phone-based OTP usually don't bother, since their risk model anyway puts all the trust in the phone so they usually just have a phone-based fallback, e.g. SMS with all the security risks related to that.

Or, you initialize two yubikeys so that they're identical; so you use your primary key and store the backup key somewhere safely, this doesn't require you to register multiple keys at each site, so it's a bit more convenient but it makes revoking a lost key a much bigger pain.
So the short answer seems to be:
They spent decades responding to everyone on the planet wanting to know what they'd taken from Tesla's room and that actually it was all in the charge of the 'Aliens' Department (i.e. non-Americans) and in some storage place and the FBI hadn't taken anything.
Then there were the others wanting to know about a Death Ray that Telsa had talked about (some saying it was the only defence against an Atomic bomb etc etc) - but no one ever found anything that he actually meant.
The only list of actual inventions etc seems to be about page 40 of the 3rd set which is quite a fun list; some crazy, mostly about power distribution.

Indeed, "rights" is a reasonably good proxy for not increasing suffering. If nobody is entitled to arbitrarily take your possessions or do bodily harm to you, a number of the worst sources of suffering are removed, at least most of the time.

Since both happiness and utility are strictly subjective (e.g. not directly measurable or comparable), such proxies is our only hope to produce some formal, computable approaches to limiting of the suffering.

But the intention to limit suffering for most of the outgroup seems a key indicator for me.
According to the rules of the game, both positions are safe.

The golden rule of this variant is: If a tile could contain a mine, it does.

Except: If there are no more tiles that can be guaranteed to be safe given the information on the board, you have to guess.

When you're forced into guessing, the rule is inverted: If the tile could be safe, then it will be safe. Again, this only applies if there are NO other guaranteed safe tiles on the board.

So click whichever you prefer.

I'm not sure it's limited to Asian women.

I believe those old white dudes who can afford it are just trying to avoid dating the stereotypical modern western girls.

Here in Germany, rich guys go for a Czech, Turkish or Italian wife if they hope to have plenty of kids. And it's no secret that British guys will travel all over Europe to try their luck at dating, because apparently most aren't too happy with the supply at home.
This seems complicated but it’s a step in the right direction. I think requiring a full pilots license to fly any drone would be best.

This will not deter competent attackers or help catch them. Disabling remote ID will be as easy as jailbreaking your phone. The hard part of a drone attack would still be sourcing explosives and modifying drones to carry and deploy such payloads.

"Would you like to hear a pro-Trump piece of propaganda?" If you say yes, they tell you. If you say no, they move on. But what they don't do is lead with the propaganda.

You can get mired in the details of proper categorization and the fact that people will undoubtedly try to hack the system to create communication without consent. But try not to, and see what I'm trying to say.

Billboards are an example of communication without consent. There you are driving on the freeway, and this brightly lit picture of a half-naked woman is selling you perfume. This is not something you just don't notice, or choose not to allow to influence your mind. I would argue it is exactly like having someone shove a cupcake down in your mouth - and I daresay I'd take the cupcake.

Regarding information, times have changed. In the past, in small rural towns where the biggest thing that happens is when the carnival sets up once a year at the end of summer, sure. You'd probably re-read the Sears catalog just to keep from being bored. In that information-starved environment I don't think "consensual communication" is a problem.

That is not the world we live in. Sadly, computer mediated communication greatly amplifies the moral hazards of lying, of speaking for money not for conviction, and of exercising cruelty. Spam is part of it, surveillance capitalism another. So much of my interaction is paid for by the information that is forcibly shoved into my eyeballs as I try to do something else!

So, yeah, I'd like to have such an agent looking out for me. No, I personally wouldn't want to be always insulated from ideas I disagree with; but nor do I want to be bombarded by the exact same claim, with the exact same argument, that I already decided was bogus. I don't want spam, or robocalls, or to be asked if I've accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Amen.
I read that part the same way; for standard remote ID drones, transmission over internet to a USS should be made if possible, but as long as the drone can continue an ADS-B like (but specifically NOT ADS-B) transmission it remains compliant. That's the big question here I think, because there are a lot of places you can fly that don't have internet connectivity, such as rural farms where drones are currently very useful.

>Until we as a people decide liberty is worth a few deaths, it'll be a (slow, because democracy is inefficient) race to the bottom.

The implied problem here is "we as a people" deciding that our liberty is worth other people's deaths. Practically by definition, marginalized and minority groups (more likely to suffer the negative consequences of such liberties) would suffer for the sake of the majority's liberty to oppress them.
Ah, I see. Yes, that’s true. You would need to return a bool alongside it or similar, but the best practice is to use an interface for sure.

As a senior engineer at a big tech co, can agree with this. I switched teams recently and the new manager asked me what my career plans were and said “oh you think the packet you made to get a senior level is big, a staff eng needs like X number of pages and they are only N number of engs in the company”.

Indeed, this is kind of a gross thing that is definitely happening in not-so-subtle ways. It's also been called "sex tourism."

Yes, but even these particular values embody subjective urbanist bias. For example, some towns run very effective volunteer fire departments, where the "payment" seems to be mutual aid and masculine pride. In some towns garbage disposal is mostly burn barrels and composting, which is bad for the environment but is not a service which can fail. And personally, having the privilege of education in biology, I feel like manufacturers of drugs and diagnostic equipment manufacturers are infinitely more valuable than doctors who are merely technicians trained in the use of these tools.

Perhaps the concept of "social value" is only useful in the context of societies small enough so that all participants can agree on values?

That's not at all what I said and is exactly the opposite.
That's not the way high end hearing aids are supposed to work, at all. You can buy $20 off the shelf hearing aids that just amplify everything.

I think security is one of the reason that static CMS have become so popular. Also it lets you easily separate content from the CMS (in the form of markdown, asciidoc, rst) and, maybe most importantly, it makes it very, very fast and makes it easy (and cheap) to host almost anywhere.

I use hugo with aws s3 bucket static web hosting + cloudfront currently. Costs me absolutely nothing with the AWS free tier (5GB of S3 and 50GB of cloudfront free per month). Generate the site in hugo then use the aws cli tools to sync to s3. Because it's almost entirely html with very few images I don't think I could ever hit those AWS free tier limits.

edit: I actually just checked and the free tier is only 12 months. My last months bill total was $0.01 for s3.
