The "return to the 50s" rhetoric is buried in statements like "Unfortunately, American family structure has been transformed over the past generation". Maybe it's unfortunate for exactly the people he's talking about in the article, but it was fortunate for a whole lot of other people.

He seems to understand that he can't go back, but he continues to wish that there were a solution to "repair the family or the other institutions that formed the foundation". And that's what's holding him back from recognizing new institutions that already work for a lot of men. Formulating a new relationship with women is a big start, rather than wishing that women would still go back to the kitchen so he could have a reason to exist.

Maybe these men should be stay-at-home dads. Or maybe they should start looking into previously female-coded activities, like being a full-time artist or Etsy crafter or volunteer. Not to insist on any of those, but to break out of the mindset that pervades the article that it used to be better and that that's the way it really ought to be but you can't say so because it's not PC. So he doesn't say it -- but it's there between the lines, and I think that that implicit assumption does even more harm than bringing it out in the open. It's the reason that these men keep failing in the same way.
Understood but the point being made is that your OEM will build AOSP with some ancient, say 2017 or whenever your device was released, embedded version of chromium - susceptible to security flaws from that release date. Chrome overlays a replacement engine to ensure webapps don't get p@wned.

So yes, as a firefoxee, I never want to see the Chrome icon. However, purging Chrome is a security risk.
It sounds like we both agree there's a minimum scale for running your own Kubernetes setup, or you wouldn't be recommending managed Kubernetes.

But a managed Kubernetes approach only makes sense if you want all your stuff to run in that vendor's context. As I said, I started with home and personal projects. I'd be a fool to put my home lighting infrastructure or my other in-home services in somebody's cloud. And a number of my personal projects make better economic sense running on hardware I own. If there's a managed Kubernetes setup that will manage my various NUCs and my colocated physical server, I'm not aware of it.
I have been raised extremely religious and I completely understand obsession by the search for alien life. In some way it would "ground" at once my entire struggle to get out of this (human) religion. Sure, you can imagine an adapted religion cross the universe with multiple Jesuses etc., but it's much less convincing than the original.

Actually, the reason I'm so interested in artificial general intelligence is, I think, driven by the same reasons. If we can create fellow human beings, it somehow is like creating your own aliens on earth. That, and the idea that we need them to solve the tough problem we nowadays face as mankind.
> People who choose to turn off JS are excluding themselves. JS is part of the web platform, and there are tons of amazing things it allows you to do.

People who choose to turn off JavaScript are protecting themselves, because JavaScript enables all sorts of attacks on one's security and privacy.

JavaScript is not part of the web platform. The Web is a web (hence the name) of interlinked documents: the core requirements for a web of interlinked documents are a protocol (we have HTTP) and a document format (HTML); a style format (CSS) is nice too, albeit not strictly necessary (one can read unstyled documents in links, lynx, elinks, eww, w3m or whatever else just fine).

There is absolutely no requirement for executing arbitrary, potentially malicious, unverified code from untrusted authors distributed globally. Are there great examples of cool JavaScript applications? Yes, certainly. Is JavaScript a core requirement to support a web of interlinked documents — i.e., the Web? No, not at all.

To the contrary, JavaScript is murdering the Web, and this page's misuse is a prime example. JavaScript delenda est!

Yes, it's the same in the U.S. (though much of the beer is less worthy of savoring). But the point stands that "there's no such thing as consuming a small glass of beer as it's not really a beverage you savour" is wildly inaccurate.
National Affairs is a publication of the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank. It's important to keep in mind their ideology when reading anything they publish.
I guess this is part of why they would welcome an acquisition by VISA. They instantly have a generous benefactor to open all the doors to the various banks.
A new Model 3 is 36k, a new Corolla is 19.6k MSRP. Realistically you can get the Toyota for less than half the price of the Tesla. I am not convinced that gap can be closed in 5 years, much less 2.
This is a very valid complaint however I understand their need to monetise and at least you can remove that items. At least so far.

I am always open to alternatives however with everything I have tried over the years nothing has come close to how well Plex works. From the flexibility of running the server to the superb automatic content identification to the frame perfect delivery to my TV it has been flawless for me.

However I feel I should point out again that I don't use the transcoding feature so I cannot comment on how well that works.
My favorite thing about these features is the number of apps that it’s reminded me to uninstall completely from my devices. The number of apps that I initially installed months ago that didn’t have any of this that suddenly developed tracking notifications is staggering. I never would have known either since the updates happen silently in the background.

Great features.
Here's a hot take for you: Speed is a primary factor in any fatal crash. People don't die in low speed accidents.

Of course, if the cars involved were not going fast, our stone-age brains would not make stupid decisions and cause crashes. We are neurologically well equipped to navigate speeds up to about a fast run, past that we are pushing our abilities.

But that's not even the point. Traffic accidents happen everywhere, all the time, but those at high speeds are more likely to be fatal. The insurance companies have done the math, they don't make this stuff up.
Huh. I will admit, I always kind of dismissed monitors out of a blanket assumption that they'd be wildly expensive, but $550 for 4K support is not that bad.

Yes, it's more expensive than a smart TV, but the only reason is because smart TVs are very literally subsidized by future data collection and monetization.

Not trying to minimize that this could still be too much money for some people, but frankly, a one-time extra $250-300 to permanently escape that whole tracking situation is just a lot less than I expected.
In other words, the media source BridgeMI, has some sort of underlying reasoning misleading the people who read it. Because at a simple read, "more people died cause the speed limit went up", even though speed was deemed not a factor.

Would this qualify as fake news? Misleading news? Or something else?
I'm really big on the future of self-driving cars and how they'll help with problems like this. Not only will they be inherently safer at any speed, my guess is that drivers won't fret as much to exceed the speed limits.

If you're able to keep your eyes off the road and work on your laptop, read a book, take a snooze, whatever... are you all that worried about whether you're doing 70mph or 80mph?

I think that a lot of the aggression of drivers is due to opportunity cost. They feel like they could be doing something else with their time and that the driving part is a waste.
If hg borked on non-ascii characters, it sounds like the problem was rather that it didn't treat that data as a bag-of-bytes. Not the other way around?
I have been interested in the idea of and open API for banking (one which supports Canadian banks would be preferable, as I am Canadian), and I have had a few ideas for application's to implement with Plaid. I keep reading feedback about Plaid on HN similar to yours though that make me less confident in the product.
I’ve found that most no code environments that I’ve tried advocate that they have this capability but in practice it’s still nearly impossible to get what I need because their abstractions aren’t at the right level. Not saying this is impossible just that my personal experiences have made me skeptical of this approach.
Alex Stamos: Tech’s Adversaries vs. Enemies
Biologically, humans shouldn't exist in tribes of greater than like 20 people or some small number.

Socially, we have countries with millions of people living under one flag.

It turns out the hypergamy negatively affects the average man more than the elite man. So how do you build a system the ensures that the vast majority of men don't die off? You must control for hypergamy.

Polygamy is a smaller issue, because the number of men who act in a manner that breaks a society is naturally much smaller than the number of women that can act in a manner to break society.

Take 1000 people. 500 of them are men. 50 of them can show interest to the vast majority of the women, and the women will gladly oblige. So here, we have 50 people (the elite men) that can cause unstable families.

Of the 500 women, each of them is trying to pick the best man given her qualities. So here, we have 500 people that can cause unstable families (all the women).

This would ultimately cause a large society with no control over hypergamy to dwindle into a small population over time. If we believe for a second people are pairing off "because they have matching personalities", we're all going to have a really bad time.

A major highway in Ontario (402) was increased from 100 to 110 and the police said the current results are that there's no significant changes in crashes.

Now I can't find the article. So take this with a grain of salt.

I doubt Michigan drivers are objectively worse so I imagine it's just a bad finding.
75 on a new car is far different than 75 on my 99 Honda accord. Also, once people get used to winter, they get a little cavalier on these snowy Midwest roads. Did the statistics control for this year's weather?
Or maybe atheists want to concentrate more resources on the upbringing of the child so that they have a competitive advantage.

Then also consider that in 3,000 years I'll probably be ancestor to all (this holds true for others, I am by no means special). Don't really need to go through the hassle of rearing 6 more kids to secure my genetic future.
IMO the reason HN works is because the majority here have the platform's best interests at heart and curate the content based on what would be appropriate for the site instead of just their personal opinions.

There aren't these kinds of incentives (nor clear rules as to what content is considered on or off topic) on any mainstream social networks, and the operators themselves would rather have an disorganised army of idiots wasting time spamming random crap (and clicking on ads) rather than having a community centred around a set of guidelines and a common goal. Like if I sign up on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram today there isn't a FAQ post to let me know what's the objective of the platform, what content should I post, etc. Worse, I can isolate myself in echo-chambers by following the wrong accounts (which the platform will encourage by recommending more accounts like those) and this is how you end up with misinformation, etc.

See also Twitter; it used to be for mostly tech people due to the relative complexity and unwritten rules of the platform acting as a gatekeeper preventing idiots from coming in. If you put in the time to learn and understand what the platform is about and go through those barriers then there's a good chance you'd be a productive member of the network, so overall it self-regulated quite well. Unfortunately, these users are also the least likely to click on cancer aka ads, and since big tech is allergic to letting people actually pay for a service they'd rather dumb down the platform and open the floodgates and the cesspool that is today's Twitter is the (predictable) result.

Different Types of Interviews and How to Prepare?
That's why you're supposed to have separate bike lanes for bikes to ride on at full speed. Lots of cities have something like this.

A path that cyclists use to actually get somewhere in a short time should not be the same path that loafers with dogs use to bumble around and relax on. Cycling isn't just for fun; lots of people actually use it for transportation, because it's much faster and more efficient than walking. And there's nothing wrong with bumbling around with your dog (on a leash), but it's a very different activity than what the cyclists are doing.

Similarly, you wouldn't have the busy airspace over an airport shared by people playing around with their R/C planes and drones.
Sure, but how is that measured and what does it exclude?
It's an ignorant police force quoted, mostly.
If it appears that I ignored your comment, it's because I was assuming you weren't making the mistake you now appear to be.

Your argument seems to be that the inclusion of the 2nd-party plural "you" somehow removes the gendered nature of the word, which is not the case for this word or for any other.

I assume you believe that "boys" is gendered, and I assume you will admit that "you boys" is still gendered.

You admit that "guys" is gendered, but you will not admit that "you guys" is still gendered, without being able to provide any sort of evidence as to why.

The second case is identical to the first, the only difference being your specific idiolectical definition, which unfortunately is not generalisable to the English language as a whole.
It is basically TCP 2.0 implemented on top of UDP. What concerns do you have with this?
I believe there have been studies that indicate traffic accidents on freeways increase as the speed delta between vehicles increases.

My opinion (biased, obviously) is that the people who choose to drive significantly below the speed limit are more of an issue than those who choose to drive above it.

Someone driving over the speed limit is going to be monitoring the traffic ahead of them. Those are the people they are most likely to interact with.

Someone driving exceptionally slowly is much less likely to be monitoring the traffic behind them adequately enough to know when someone is approaching them rapidly from behind.

Further, the amount in excess of the speed limit that the vast majority of people would be willing to drive is a fairly small delta (10, maybe 15mph max). The amount below the speed limit someone may choose to drive is much larger, mostly by definition of it being any value from zero to the speed limit.

A habit I picked up a few years ago thanks to seeing others doing so is to put on my 4-way flasher hazard lights if I'm driving significantly below the speed limit (usually due to snow or super heavy rain). It helps alert people that "hey, this person is going slower than you probably expect them to be, so pay attention"
I also thought of using a computer monitor. Also it may help to reduce the lag (I know some people use a computer monitor for their games due to this). Also I don't need such a huge TV set, I think.
Ah so you can just cast whatever is on VLC? That was the first thing I tried with Roku but my TV doesn't support it, and I was disappointed there wasn't any VLC companion app.
I think there are probably a few forces leading to there being a lot of young people at big banks. One is that they will hire a lot of junior analysts and many of them do not last while others will move to smaller firms that require more experienced staff because they can’t train people straight out of college.

When I was at university, the people I knew who wanted to work in finance seemed to be planning to work stupidly hard for some number of years and make a load of money and then retire. So maybe an alternative reason is that many people choose to retire at a relatively young age. But those people didn’t exactly have much actual experience in investment banks and so maybe they were just wrong or maybe those ideas are more predominantly held by people who are keen on investment banking while in university than in investment bankers at large.

Or maybe the old people all turn up at a different time or spend all their time meeting with clients outside their office (or half the time with clients so they arrive at the office at weird times), so you just don’t see them if you watch.

To be clear I don’t want to suggest that I disagree with what you say, just that there may be other forces at play than a bank’s desire to fire senior staff.
For #3 I use ZeroTier (but this of course won't let me access fridge of coffee machine remotely because i can't install ZT on them :) )

but anything else goes, especially #4 WireGuard.
> so it seems unusual that they'd also acquire the company (why not acquire it back then?)

Not unusual at all. Pretty typical for CVC in fact. Couple of factors:

1. CVC (Corporate Venture Capital) typically tries to invest in similar markets of companies that either are competitive or pseduo-competitive (think of it as a hedge). For example, this would be like PayPal investing in Venmo.

2. It's cheaper in the long run for a CVC to make 10 of these bets to find that one that doesn't kill their core business model (usually a cash cow). That's why you see Ford/GM putting money into self-driving car start-ups.

3. They were probably not at the level of scale ready for Visa to take them on at the time of the Series C. This was basically a down-payment for their eventual acquisition. It basically "you're too risky for us to buy, so here's some money that we can write off if you end up failing, but if you do fail, we don't have to deal with all of the crap that goes with a failing bus unit (layoffs, compliance, etc).

To be honest, I've never head of health issues caused by alcohol beyond the possibility of your liver failing. So I suspect, if you stay within liver failure bounds, you're good to go in terms of health.

I'm ignoring here the fact that drinking more might cause a cascading effect of bad habits, like eating more, exercising less, sleeping less, etc. Here I assume that you'd drink, but not degenerate your other habits as a consequence.
Look what happened to Bernie in 2016. I think was a demonstration that the "system" only gives you two choices: size 10 boot or size 12 boot. I vowed never to vote for a Democrat again until this whole generation washes/ages out.
I have an old C7v2 to that was the basis of my household's network until I upgraded to an EdgeRouter + Unifi APs.

The C7 was fine for a while but in the end got extremely unreliable, even in partial roles as only a router (with wifi disabled) and then later as only a an AP (with the DHCP server disabled). Currently it's unplugged because any time it was turned on, devices would roam to it and get stuck there with no connectivity.

I should try upgrading it to the latest OpenWRT and see if things are any better.
Of course they couldn't control for weather, that's one reason they need three years of data for the study.

Re: "Does anyone else feel like the abstractions and models in physics have gone passed the point where the casual outsider (even a technically and scientifically minded one) can no longer intuitively understand it?"

That's how I feel when using Twitter Bootstrap compared to the WYSIWYG days of VB-classic and Delphi. Like Quantum Physics, getting Bootstrap right relies on probability and killing of cats, or at least hair follicles.

Cryptic Rumblings Ahead of First 2020 Patch Tuesday
> Here's some tough love. If people frequently rewrite code that you write it is because they are stronger developers than you are. You, the junior developer, can either sulk about it and feel miserable or realize what an amazing opportunity you have to improve.

Why is this condescending tone and unfounded assumption acceptable here?

It's like, Well, lookie here, a stranger with a generic opinion! What an amazing opportunity for me to assume specifics and talk down to him! You're welcome!
It's not ideal, but I wouldn't call it a sham. Vulnerable users' banking details are highly targeted by fraudsters, and I can see the concern from lawmakers that making it mandatorily open to all via some oauth style flow (for ex) would limit the banks from controlling access to scammers.

The law doesn't restrict the banks giving access to non-AISPs and, like you say, many of the modern banks do have personal API access, it just sets a minimum bar you have to reach before they're forced to let you in. It seems like a pragmatic middle ground.

What is bad, in my eyes, is the law currently only applies to the CMA9.

This is an idiotic strawman argument. People don't get killed by trains and bicycles in remotely near the numbers that they do by cars, especially when you count all the people killed in car accidents.

Your entire argument is "we can't completely eliminate ALL deaths from any vehicle of any kind, so we need to keep our society car-based."

Testing Software: What Is TDD? A Practical Introduction with Q&A
I think part of the why to your question is that Its deceiving to view the human as a singular entity.

There isnt a you, practically, there is infact an Us, and as an organism, the rule of large numbers wins everytime, we select for what we think is right as a social collective/organism.

That kind of thinking is accepted in science, but not wide spread amongst the singular individuals.

Older cultures didnt need to check for anything, decisions probably evolved through intra generational symbolism and stories about ghosts and evil spirits. Life wont answer the why, it just is, and if we push itll just eat us.

In the same breadth, science is nature too. So whatever works, really.
> I don’t see the use of this; let us clear it away.

BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit, an urban rail system) uses non-standard rail gauge, 5 feet 6 inches. US standard rail gauge, 4 feet, 8.5 inches, would be much cheaper to use as there is a large market in standard equipment. Non standard BART equipment must instead be built custom, greatly increasing its cost.

With that example in mind, the reformer wants to clear away this dumb design decision and indeed the East Bay Antioch extension uses standard gauge. The more intelligent type of reformer may ask If you don’t see the use of it, I certainly won’t let you clear it away.

The trouble is that no one can remember why the non-standard gauge was chosen. Sometimes design decisions aren't smarter. They're just old.
