The article touched on something that's always bothered me about the "effective altruism" movement: some of its adherents seem to think it's OK to work literally anywhere as long as you contribute enough of your income to worthy causes. That has always seemed incredibly dubious to me: make the world a worse place so you can make it a better place!

Good suggestion! Adopted above.

The best way to complain about a title on HN is to suggest a better one. You did! No one has any idea how rare this is.
28% is huge. Good job for doing that. Not many more options here. Reduce expenses or increase income, but remember to live a little! Also noticed your username and your thinking that you "can't get into FAANG." A lot of interesting work is being done at companies that aren't Internet company superstars, and if you enjoy what you're doing, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself. Just my $0.02.
Last I knew, Windows uses SNTP, not NTP (unless you explicitly install an NTP server or modify the registry to tell it to use NTP).

SNTP is notoriously less accurate but is usually "good enough".
Apple is forcing us into the cloud
Apple SSD sizes should be above 10TB by now. But they're not. MPB SSD capacity is the same today as a Huawei nanoSD card. That's pathetic.
"within the rules of the game" is a big qualification.

I think whether that is a sufficient qualification depends on whether you are trying to break down or eliminate most of the "rules of the game" or instead make them better.

Lots of ideas make sense by themselves and then become toxic when combined with others.
I already work at a FAANG, the problem is my rent is absurd (~3k all in) and I have a higher tax burden than HQ. Also I work at the FAANG that isn’t respected and pays poorly - feels like reading HN is just a series of microaggressions some days.
Fair point on the LiFePO, but none of those other things really matter as they're easily made up for by a larger bank, what matters is the cost per amp/hour and lithium isn't remotely there yet. The exact fraction varies, but lithium isn't going to touch some Costco golf cart batteries at a $100 a pop. You can buy an entire house bank for the cost of 1 lithium LiFePO battery (nearly 1k on Amazon). Unless you just like wasting money, deep-cycle lead-acid is a far better choice.

I used to run an ISP. Our server park was two machines each with 128MB RAM and 120MHz classic Pentiums and 4GB of harddrive space. One of them hosted e-mail and shell access for all our users. The other had web hosting for our business users, our tape drive (we backed up the other machine over the network), and our USENET server...

I looked on the cessna.com and controller.com websites for current Cessna 172 prices.

For the first time, I couldn't find any, just "Call for pricing."

The price I remember from about a year ago was $398,000. Most (nearly all) of their sales included fairly advanced avionics, and I believe they dropped the steam-gauge version.

It's an interesting phenomenon that's documented in aviation news and interviews that people say they want low-priced planes, but actual sales are almost exclusively with the most options.
It's all well and good until you get judged by a bunch of completely borked-up, unfair metrics. The computer sets you to running halfway across a gigantic warehouse again and again, then measures your "picks per hour" vs somebody who consistently ends up in a tiny corner of the warehouse. Your manager agrees that it's not a problem and tells you not to worry, then a few months down the line some algorithm decides to give your lucky coworker a big raise and you don't get a boost at all.

Thankfully I haven't had to deal with any metrics like this for more than a couple of months at a time.. Since engineers' specialty is to optimize ratings, it's an obvious-enough waste of time to apply them that they're usually short-lived.

This is one of those topics where people should really learn from human history rather than jump to conclusions because they sound good at first thought:

The Four Pests Campaign, was one of the first actions taken in the Great Leap Forward in China from 1958 to 1962. The four pests to be eliminated were rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows....[The resulting] ecological imbalance is credited with exacerbating the Great Chinese Famine, in which 15–45 million people died of starvation.[1]

Your comment breaks the site guidelines. Since you've quoted them recently in other contexts, I assume you know this.

One reason we have that rule is that once users come along and (as they typically do) give corrective upvotes to the unfairly-downvoted comment, a comment like yours becomes false. Unfortunately, such posts don't then garbage-collect themselves—they stick around, adding noise to the thread.

He mostly posts about technology and mathematics. The reason why I got hooked to this blog is that they are mostly about offbeat topics that I wouldn't normally come across on my own. So there is something new to learn from every post. And they are very well written with great attention to detail.

Absolutely ludicrous. The House and the Senate are both part of the legislative branch. If the legislative branch doesn't see enough of a problem to unify, and no compelling cases can be pushed through the judicial branch, why should half a branch of government be able to remove the most powerful member of another branch?

Both parties play the electoral college and both the college as well as pandering have existed since before Trump, Obama, Clinton, etc. The Democrats lost to Trump for the same reason Obama beat the Republicans, they didn't play as well as the other team.

Keto Nutrition

Most keto diet pills contain just 800mg of ketones. What's more, while that is a decent number, this equation takes that well beyond.Since, it utilizes a full 975mg of ketones!! That implies you'll get increasingly fat consume, and you should remain in ketosis for any longer.

What does it do?

The components present in Keto Nutrition breaks down the fats in the body and detoxify the body. It breaks down all the unsafe chemicals from the blood by making it pure and helps in its proper circulation. These chemicals make you feel low, unhealthy, fatigue or nausea. So it is mandatory to expel them out of the body by making it much healthier. In other terms, it flushes out the waste and renews it completely. Your digestion and brain health starts working and you get fit. The fat burners present in this supplement keeps your body frees from radicals. It also has the audacity to manage the glucose levels of the body. If the waste is disposed it improves the vitality of the body and scrubs the body totally.

Since you've done nothing but break the site guidelines since the last time we asked you to stop, it seems clear that you don't want to use HN as intended, so I've banned the account.

Even if you're right on the underlying issue, being this much of an asshole on HN poisons what little community we actually have here, and that is more important.

Unpredictably Faster Clojure
I agree here. React is not a fad. Its matured and has essentially become the industry standard. My company gets lots of young engineers who don't really know React that well, and it can be a problem. It can be issue even for those with lots of front end experience since they've built up habits and patterns and mental models that don't really make sense any more. On the other hand, I'm thought of as an expert in modern JS and React, so I get all the hard/interesting problems and everyone comes to me whenever they have a question. That's generally a good position to be in career wise.

But, really, the benefit of using modern tech is that it's going to make you much more productive especially when we're talking about the front end. A more productive dev is a higher paid dev.
>Variable reinforcement works. Collectible card games (all the way back to MtG in the 90's) and MMORPG PvE grinding use the same mechanism.

Fun fact: I wrote the article in steno! (on a Georgi!)
The full quote (and the rest of the article), when including the parts you omitted, implies that it was the campaign against sparrows, not mosquitos, that was the main problem:

> The four pests to be eliminated were rats, flies, mosquitoes, and sparrows. The extermination of sparrows is also known as Smash Sparrows Campaign (Chinese: 打麻雀运动; pinyin: Dǎ Máquè Yùndòng) or Eliminate Sparrows Campaign (Chinese: 消灭麻雀运动; pinyin: Xiāomiè Máquè Yùndòng), which resulted in severe ecological imbalance, being one of the causes of the Great Chinese Famine. In 1960, Mao Zedong ended the campaign against sparrows and redirected the fourth focus to bed bugs.

There's no suggestion in the article you referenced that attempting to eliminate mosquitos had anything to do with the famine.

I'm a Kiwi, and whether gorse is a problem is a matter of perspective. It's not causing any harm to almost anyone at all. It's not what's native, so people don't like it - that's fine, but it's mostly aesthetics at the end of the day. I love our native plants and birds, but I also think gorse is really pretty when it's all in flower.

But that's not the point: gorse in NZ is not even slightly comparable to mosquito-borne illnesses. No-one ever died because of gorse in New Zealand. According to Unicef malaria kills 1,000,000 people every year. This is something we might want to disrupt.

It's a way to distinguish themselves from other people.
Samsung T5 SSDs are becoming very affordable. Pick up a 1/2TB model? I agree MacBooks could use more space but most users don’t need beyond 512gb, and those who do could probably use more than Apple’s max of 2TB (4K video editing for example)

Network attached storage options seem to be improving greatly too!
Do solar panels wear down in extreme weather? Eg if it regularly drops below -30C in winter, will that have a negative impact on the solar panel's lifespan? Because if it does then that's another factor to consider.
It's not easy to tell, how are they addressing the lack of decryption keys, if at all? I know you can treat a hacked PS4 as a decryption oracle but that's sort of a fundamental limitation to emulation, not having the decryption keys for executables.

Vinyl editions of albums come with a lot of cool artwork, and are a nice physical token of ownership, they also often are mixed differently and avoid things like the loudness war style mixing. It doesn't matter how high definition your digital audio is if the spectrum analysis looks like a brick.
Uh huh. You come back in fifteen years and tell us how that's going for you, sport.

Most of what I need doctors or other quasi-medical professionals to assist with is congenital or... wait for it... sports related. Turns out that 'get plenty of exercise' doesn't automatically fix everything. And it's harder to manage 'plenty' once you get older and everything fucking hurts.

So many of my older friends have informed me that my definition of 'everything hurts' is adorable that I'm starting to worry that they're right when they tell me that I haven't seen anything yet.

It's interesting that Google was painted as a villain when it planned to re-enter the China, while Microsoft and Yahoo have been operating censored search engines there continuously from the beginning. The difference? You don't hear of Microsoft or Yahoo employees complain about it.

Similarly, Google was vilified by its employees for bidding on government and defense contracts, while Microsoft and Amazon (and nearly every other tech company) very publicly fight tooth and nail to land these contracts. Again, the difference is that you don't hear Amazon or Microsoft employees complain. They don't stage constant protests. They don't leak internal documents to the press. They don't quit in dramatic fashion and write blog posts about it.

Google doesn't have a worse track record on any of these issues than other tech companies. It just has the loudest, most critical employees, who create a public shitstorm whenever the company steps out of line with their progressive politics. Over time, this has gradually seeped into the public conscious. Now even progressives outside the company rally against Google, while ignoring the tech companies that actively support censorship and the military-industrial war machine.

It's amusing (and infuriating) that file search - IMO, one of the most important features for a desktop O/S - has been utterly broken in Windows since Vista.

On Windows 10, half the time it just hangs with "Searching files", displaying zero results. The other half, search simply says "Nothing found", even when I know there is a match. I just tested it with %USERPROFILE%/.docker - open up File Explorer and search for ConfigVersion that appears in config.json. Nada.

I have to resort to cygwin/grep any time I want a search that actually works.

I never had this problem pre-Vista. I don't know how they managed to go backwards on such a fundamental feature.
