Pensions are very uncommon in modern America.

401(k) investments, on the other hand, are available and pushed heavily onto nearly everybody with a white-collar job. And 401(k) investments are stocks. So a huge percentage of people hold stocks, or at least funds which contain stocks.
With lasers, the photons are collimated, so they're all going almost exactly the same direction, instead of just being scattered like with normal light sources. Because of this, it doesn't take that much laser power in your eye for your lens to focus it down to a small patch on your retina and burn holes in it. So you'll need very low-powered lasers for this to be safe. But it certainly should be possible.
> It seems that Iowa chose both, the time and the manner, itself

Well, no, not entirely. Yes, the parties gave them lots of room initially, but that has evolved. The entire reason they were using the app at issue this year is because after complaints about apparent inconsistencies in the results based on internal reports (there was previously no official tally of the intermediate steps), the DNC directed that to the Iowa Democratic Party must adapt the method so that there were official, reported tallies of the first and second alignments as well as the state delegate equivalent count that is the final result. That is, the national party chose (in a very limited way, for now) to exercise it's fairly absolute power to direct the manner by which delegates to it's nominating conventions are selected. (Aside from this specific intervention, the DNC also has extensive general rules adopted for the delegate selection process, see, for 2020, generally Regulation 4 of the Regulations of the Rules and Bylaws Committee for the 2020 Democratic National Convention.

There is nothing stopping the DNC from making much more exacting requirements, including setting a required schedule or prohibiting the use of caucuses entirely.

> And each party must respect the laws of the state.

Each party has an incentive to do so to avoid conflict with interest groups in the state, but state governments have basically no compulsory power to direct how party national committees allow delegates to nominating conventions to be selected from their state.
I think your own perspective may skew things a bit. If you're already in the top 20% (which most HN posters probably are due to their profession and education) then you may well know a lot more 1%ers than you realise. Probably most of the "rich" people you know are well into the 1%.
I think that's true up to a point.

I think Americans support Free speech, but Hate speech, especially when violence is involved, elicits a far different response.

Just ask any poor woman who has had her son arrested for mouthing off in some CounterStrike session about something he's gonna do at school. Just mouthing off trying to look big and all of a sudden police are at his door the next day.

Basically, in the US, you get free speech up to the point where they think your kid is going to shoot up a school full of kids or church full of little old ladies. At that point, there will be guys knocking at your door. I understand the motivation of law enforcement there, I get the point of "terroristic threat" laws. I just don't know if we've calibrated the application of the laws correctly.

But the point is, that this "overwhelming majority of Americans" you were speaking of would tell me to get lost, and tell the police "Good job! Better safe than sorry with these school shooters."
Safari on iOS is great. Safari on Mac is underwhelming and sucks.

My biggest gripe is I can’t update it without updating the entire OS. Also, dev tooling is really bad. God help you if you ever need to unregister a service worker.

That's a pretty big negative spin on the "free + ads or pay" business model. Isn't that the model we all want? We all complain about ads, but what alternative is there other than to pay money?

I gladly pay for content in exchange to avoid ads if I can. I'm fine with ad-blocking "morally" when there is no other option, but I'm not OK with blocking ads on services that offer a reasonable price to avoid ads.

Of course, if you don't want to use youtube, by all means, you don't need to pay for it. But I wouldn't view the "pay or see ads" business model as some gross thing to avoid.

As an Xoogler, my experience is that one thing changed, and one thing didn't.

The thing which changed is that Google operates on a much, much larger scale than anything imaginable back in the late 90s when they first started. In 1999, nobody had any inkling about the cloud and SaaS revolution that was about to come. Nobody knew that everything was about to move into web apps and cloud services, which permit and require(?) tracking in ways, and on a scale, no one had thought possible. (Require with a question mark because - ad tracking aside - what little I know of frontend development includes that they need to be able to see certain information, like your browser type, in order to provide effective services.)

The thing which didn't change is the mindset of the engineers building the services. On average, Googlers tend to be much less concerned with personal privacy than an equally educated consumer, and much more interested in the features and services they can build for themselves and others which happen to require huge amounts of personal information to function. In other words, a typical Googler is more likely to think, "Oooh, having a personal digital assistant is great! If I give Google access to my email inbox, it can suggest tasks, automatically add calendar invites, and do other cool things."

The problems we're seeing now come when the engineers working on advertising products have that mindset and access to Google-scale information. They don't consider it a problem or a violation because they don't mind targeted ads, they don't mind giving up their data in exchange for services, and they don't (want to) understand why people who aren't them might object.

It's a lot more complicated than that because Google, while the largest and arguably most effective, is not the only player in this game. There are a lot of other corporate and social influences at play. This is just to answer the question about what changed at Google.

Is it that unlikely that Bosch has sponsored a story written by an unaffiliated writer?
That's not business, that's humanity.

We work with, spend time with, and collaborate with people we trust. That trust usually comes from repeated, direct, human interaction or as a referral from someone who has that long-built trust.

That applies to the vendors we choose, the babysitters we hire, and the doctors we visit.

Asking someone to choose someone they don't trust is inherently risky, even if it works out.

> f(g(h(x)))

Haskell has $ operator (simple application operator but with low precedence—think open bracket that closes implicitly at the end of expression). While it makes your example a bit more verbose:

> f $ g $ h x

it also allows one to pass multiple arguments in an intermediate function call, e.g.

> f $ g x $ h y

is the same in Haskell as

> f (g x (h y))

which in most languages would be

> f(g(x, h(y))

As an amateur runner and triathlete I really hope someone will integrate this technology into suitable smart sunglasses. I would pay $1000 today for such a product if it actually works. My GPS fitness tracker is a great tool but I hate having to constantly glance down at my wrist to check pace, distance, and heart rate. This is particularly annoying when executing a structured intervals workout based on specific target metrics.

There are existing heads-up display products targeted at cyclists such as the Everysight Raptor and Garmin Varia Vision. However they aren't practical or comfortable for runners.

Ideally I'd like the smart glasses to have the following features: ANT+ Extended Display profile. 6 hour battery life. Lightweight with even weight distribution (not all on one side). Prescription lens compatible.

I'd like to know why you're being downvoted too; I've thought about this very thing for a while now. Everyone right now runs around with the head tilted down so they can look at their phone (which is supposedly causing us to grow bone projections on the rear of our skulls). It would be much better to have eye implants so we can see information in real-time from our mobile devices, even as we walk around. Like you said, it would be really handy to see a map while you walk in a building, showing you where the bathroom is, or to help you navigate while you walk in a dense city, instead of having to pull out your phone and look at it.
And the issue is that big business can afford to "buy" the government. I don't see any other solution to this than to outlaw big business...
Wright you are.
Totally agree. It's so easy to overthink cooking. Take off the exec-chef-in-restaurant apron and focus on the simple stuff:

- Add salt/pepper/spices by hand if you can. Shakers/larger-volume canisters lead to over-application, but it's so easy to grab a little bit of salt, apply, taste, and do it over again until you hit the right mark

- Learn how to cook in a single pot - stews/soups/etc. Saves on cleaning, and broths packed full of nutrients

- Use a crock-pot/slow-cooker. Dead simple, very low risk, produces significant quantities of food

- Learn about portion sizing. So much of over or under cooking is applying the same technique and timing to two different quantities of food. 16 oz of steak cooks differently than 8, same for veggies. Buying the right portions consistently solves so many problems

- Given the point above, learn about an oven -- convection vs. radiant heat. Convection cooking is fast, easy, and awesome.

- Learn how to store stuff properly. You'll spend a fortune if you regularly trap your veggies in air-tight containers. Many of them don't need and are worse-off in those containers. Learn what stuff should be near or away from other vegetables. Good example: if you put your avocados and tomatoes next to your cucumbers, kiss the latter good-bye -- they'll go bad way faster due to the gas emitted by the two others

- Finally, it goes without saying -- not everyone likes what you do, so it's ok if your most exquisite dish doesn't go over perfectly with everyone.

Re: not going to be One True Standard that works well enough for everybody.

One could say that about anything, yet we have HTML, SQL, etc. as standards, despite their limits and imperfections.

Oracle Forms allowed a single client to handle multiple different applications. I don't know how it worked under the hood (it's proprietary), but it had characteristics of a "GUI browser" and at least got the job done. It shows one "GUI client" can serve multiple server-centric CRUD apps without local per-app installs. Focus on data-centric CRUD first. Things like word processors, flow-chart editors, and Photoshop clones can wait for a later stage or level. Walk before you run.

Some reference the X-Window system, but it's pixel-based, not vector, and has no input buffering feature, meaning every key-stroke has to make a round trip from client to server before it shows up on the screen. This was okay on LAN's, but questionable over HTTP.

From the article:

After a video of parts of the play did the rounds on social media, the accusation was that a child spoke a line in the play that Narendra Modi should be beaten with slippers. However, several media reports have debunked this claim. The child seems to have made a generic statement that anyone who demands documents to prove one’s citizenship should be beaten with chappals.

It's absolutely wrong to detain the kid for this. Only the one who wrote the lines for "beating" someone deserves to be questioned and that too in accordance with the law.

How do you reconcile the existence of MAD with this?

Proponents of MAD insist that once attained, it makes military conflicts unnecessary - and this justifies the expense and the risk of the world walking a tightrope above nuclear Armageddon.

> UK is under a parliamentary system; effectively, the only vote is to select your local representative

That's true at the level of national government, but there are separate elections for different levels of government.

It's as if in the US you voted just for the House of Representatives, the Senate was unelected (which, get, historically it was) and the House elected the President.

Instead, the US started out with the same thing, except we elect an entire separate body (because we still didn't trust the people to do that, plus we wanted to make sure that citizens of slave states were overrepresented in executive elections as well as in the Senate) just to elect the President, and then later we decided to make the Senate accountable directly to the state electorate, too.

There are certainly a large number of Christians involved in the intelligent design movement, many of whom are quite likely involved because of the perceived religious implications. But, for that matter, most of the founders of modern science were Christians, who often came up with their theories as part of apologetic arguments they were working on. If we were to dismiss all scientific theories invented by Christians for that reason, there wouldn't be much left to modern science, or mathematics for that matter.

However, it is possible to separate the theories from the apologetics, as mainstream science has done.

The Discovery Institute itself is run by a mix of atheists, Jews, Catholics and Protestants. All whom are involved because they think there is a real scientific problem. Many of them do use ID to further argue for religious conclusions, but the theory itself is religion agnostic, and is also compatible with atheism, as demonstrated by the atheists and agnostics involved.

I would suggest you not dismiss the theory itself merely because of your dislike for the religion of many of its proponents. Doing so is the genetic fallacy. Additionally, some of the earliest proponents of ID type arguments, such as Paul Davies and his fine tuning argument, are not themselves Christians.

I am a solo in a multi-million line of code codebase, and im always amazed about how many detail are still in my memory, even when i dont see those particular chunks of code for a year.

It amazes me mostly because this is not the sort of tasks our brains were specialized in doing, by estimating our development path in nature as mammals.

We discover and/or create new models and yet, we are able to adapt to them with some effort. Our new environments will probably affect the DNA that have the brain design, and we will pass all of this as a legacy to our kind.

The brain is such a masterpiece of nature.
It's clearly not an overloading issue. If the outage was a couple of hours sure, maybe it's a load issue. But it's after noon on the following day and the system is still broken.

Plus, it doesn't make sense that it would be overloaded. They should have known exactly how much load to expect based on the number of caucuses held across the state. Also, Iowa isn't a populous state so the total number of datapoints is not going to be all that big. This should not have been a hard problem. The DNC is looking like a bunch of idiots this morning.
