* instantly draining the clients monthly data, crashing the device, timeouting the server and making the infrastructure team cry, roughly in that order

Federal law does not a priori supersede state law. The Tenth Amendment to the US Constitution reserves _all_ rights not explicitly granted to the federal government to the states and the people. The Civil War was fought, in part, over this contention between the power of the federal government to emancipate slaves and the power of the slaveholding states to continue to allow the practice of slavery. In more modern times, certain aspects of the constitution have been interpreted more and more broadly to allow e.g. the regulation of medical products under the auspices of regulating “interstate commerce” (even if said products are only ever sold in a single state — they can be transported across state lines).

From this system design, you can deduce that there _does_ exist a hierarchy in the theory of US government — the Constitution is the law of the land and all other actors and subsystems are subordinate to it. Modifying the Constitution requires significant effort at multiple levels of government usually including (by state law) extensive popular support and supermajorities of representatives.

> Also, as someone in Canada, I downloaded the "English" version of Firefox, which probably meant "en_US" locale: guess what, I'm affected. As are plenty of less technical people who don't understand about going into about:config and changing things to "en_CA".

The en-ca locale was only added to Firefox in September 2018, I think it's the default for any new downloads since then, but FF won't automatically change the locale for existing installs.
In my eperience, most people do use the templates, and especially in Vue 3, those templates are going to get compiled to extremely optimised render functions. But if you want or need to, you can also write your own render function directly, or indeed use JSX. Vue is remarkably flexible about that.
I don't see how the GP comment broke the site guidelines. "Snake oil" is close to name-calling, but I don't think it's really over the line, and if we started moderating HN comments for that kind of thing, there would be a huge backlash from the community. Is there something else that I missed?

These things are matters of degree in any case, and "what are you even talking about" is clear cut.
> Those who refuse to sell and/or consume alcohol don't believe it's an OK system.

And? That is their belief. Which is fine. There is a middle ground of accepting that some people can live their whole lives having no problem with it while other people can't.

> Therefore, actions indicate belief and agreement of a system, in this case exchange of money for alcohol. Or, tacit agreement with the system.

No they don't because you are stretching the definition to the point where it doesn't really make sense.

The proper meaning of a tacit agreement is something like "They put a playstation in the break room, but everyone knows they shouldn't be seen playing it when the boss is in the office".

Not this "By not taking action against a system you are agreeing with the existing system". This is completely ridiculous because using your logic you can always define being almost completely passive as support for whatever you aren't acting against.

It is a ridiculous usage of the term. I shouldn't be surprised tbh as you completely engage in newspeak. I won't be replying to you again as you are quite clearly dishonest.

Maybe I am at a comfortable age, because taking offense to a question about my age doesn't cross my mind. I live in the Midwest USA, although I have lived lots of other places. I recently attended a playoff game at a stadium that seats 76,000, and I saw lots of normal opaque trash bins, both in and around the stadium. The bins inside were secured in that we had to walk through metal detectors and we couldn't bring big coolers in. The bins outside weren't secured by anything. A lazy terrorist could have backed his truck up to a row of bins and filled them to the top with explosives. This normal situation didn't strike anyone as odd. The military-media-industrial complex will have to do a lot more fear-mongering if they really want to drive us completely crazy. (White people in USA are fortunate to have never faced a sustained campaign of up-close terrorism.)

The "efficient market in lockers" theory is not a null hypothesis. ITT, we haven't eliminated the "because homeless people use them" explanation for the widespread lack of public lockers.

Only after about 10 hours yes. I get by with 8 hours, but feel exhausted by around 8PM. Anything less than 8 hours makes me feel physically ill, irritable, and nauseous for most of the day. More than 10 hours makes me very sleepy. I told my sleep doctor about this, but she just shrugged and suggested some people need more sleep than others.

Securing Hardware with Coreboot
Modular is seriously addictive, my setup [1] has probably plateaued for now, but I reckon it'll probably still grown from here.

What I love about the modular world (as a producer and someone who loves sound design aspect) is the fact that it's very much a cottage industry, and some suitably ambitious individual can build a quirky new module and get it out into the world in a way that would be much harder if they were building a full synth (or something of similar complexity).

I think the ecosystem in general is much more willing to try stuff out too. Most modules aren't that expensive, although collectively they do become that, but most hold their value pretty well, so it's pretty easy to cycle modules in and out of the case to keep things interesting

Would I be correct in the following examples of Meta-game:

US Politics:
- Stacking the supreme court Vs the court case strategy itself
- Gerrymandering Vs Winning votes on merit
- How you play the Caucus nominations Vs policy

Business (internal to large companies):
- Gaming how funding flows vs Getting funding on merits

Business (external market)
- Finding the grey area in policy (e.g. Uber/ Airbnb)
- Lobbying

Would this be a correct understanding?

Dental insurance, especially, is a scam. The amount of "benefit" you get really is pretty low if $bad_things happen - a few thousand at most.

It's more like a pre-payment plan that lots of people don't pick up the item the care they pre-paid for.

I was going to go without because I saw what my insurance had been paying out. I figured I'd save a bit and I could "self-insure" in case of bigger problems. Joke was on me - I got billed about 6x as much as the insurance company. So now I pay for dental insurance because it gets me access to the "real" prices, not because I really want "insurance".

I'm the Astros fan who created http://signstealingscandal.com, so I'm definitely not saying they didn't cheat. They cheated in the regular season (I documented over 1,100 bangs). And I'm almost certain the Astros were cheating during the 2017 World Series. An interesting point though, in Darvish's 2 World Series starts (1 away, 1 at home), he threw 3.1 innings and gave up 8 earned runs (4 in each game). The other Dodgers pitchers threw 13.2 innings in those games and gave up 0 earned runs. I think it's possible the Astros were stealing signs and Darvish was tipping pitches.
Interesting, hadn't thought of that

> The proposition "Brave" is making is: "Don't you also feel what this world needs is an intermediary between you and the people creating what you like, skimming from both sides whenever money is involved?"

That sounds insidious but this is what most media platforms do.
No. Because there are younger people that grew up with better alternatives. The world has moved on.

You keep on assuming the rest of the world is static. Even if the numbers in my generation stayed that watched broadcast TV until we died. Once we are dead there isn't likely to be the same number of people replacing us is there? Nothing our end needed to change but the world did anyway.
> As a civilian, it's impossible for me to tell what situation a person is in; are they potentially violent, do they live in the same world as me, are they mentally and physically capable but undergoing hard times? They are all people, and they should all be helped, but help for one person isn't like help for another; and just lumping people together and parking them doesn't help anyone.

I think you're conflating separate questions: how to act around a given homeless person, and what kind of system is needed to help them at scale.

As for helping them, while there will be nuances to any group of people, I don't think it's a waste of time to make general statements about what solutions might look like. There may be complicating circumstances, but the fundamental barrier is the same: our society (unfortunately) requires you to make some amount of money and to have a place to live if you're going to participate in it and have much hope of upward mobility. And there's a circular effect, where if you don't have those things, it's incredibly hard to "bootstrap" your way into it.

This core mechanism applies to nearly all homeless people. So anything that tries to solve that bootstrapping problem will apply to a whole lots of people, even if it needs to be combined with other things like addiction help, mental healthcare, etc on a case-by-case basis.

I think this gets "complicated". There are night-clubs which cater to certain audiences and you may find it hard to gain admission if you're not invited. Maybe that's not a thing anymore. In particular I used to hear clubs that catered to specific international audiences, so they catered to that audience and excluded others.

The compositing step is done entirely on Vblank and is typically hardware-accelerated (hence no CPU overhead), but this means that updates to the screen only happen at next Vblank. With a single, non-composited framebuffer, an update happens as soon as the updated content is "scanned out" to the display, so you will save half a Vblank interval on average. (You will also incur some tearing but that only matters when showing media content, not in typical use.)

Hopefully, haptic feedback needed for this would eventually be recreated in VR. It already has some really good haptic feedback in default controllers (talking about Oculus Quest here, but also experienced the same with Vive setups), where something as simple as reloading a gun feels way more impactful with the haptic engine built into those controllers.

For something as refined as the sensation of twisting a knob, however, I don't think that the current VR controllers are enough. Maybe once VR gains a bit more mainstream adoption, we will get VR glove controllers with a bit more complex haptic feedback mechanism, which should allow for the "twisting the knob" sensation to be implemented, and then it will be a total gamechanger. I would looove to have my DAW and synths in VR, as the spaciality of VR is perfect for this kind of workflow, but we gotta wait a bit for tech to catch up.

Just because a homeless person uses some trickery to enhance their chances at $5, doesn't imply that they want to be homeless or that they enjoy it.

The real answer to the OP's point is that a homeless person who is assertive in terms of asking for money may find himself on the wrong side of someone with some kind of authority. Also, certain verbiage works better than others for panhandling.
