that would not work. 500€ is not enough to pay rent in most places.

it would have to something that covers your current living expenses, no matter how high they are, because unless you are young and single with a lot of flexibility, you are not going to be able to put a hold on all those expenses.

therefore the two reasonable options are: the government continues to pay your current salary, or it pays what you'd get if they'd hire you. the latter would disadvantage high earners, but that is somewhat reasonable.

anything less would unlikely get any people interested.
I was wondering about that too. After some research it seems to be something like poverty. I.e., being deprived of decent living conditions, education opportunities employment opportunities, etc.

In the paper they used this index which measures deprivation by living location in the UK:

Google Fiber was never about ROI. Fiber stopped expanding after encountering legal resistance in market after market from the preexisting telecom (take note the singular, because there’s usually just one). Every market they successfully pushed through, the existing telecom dropped prices and improved service to stay competitive. These competition-stifling monopolies are costing taxpayers tons of money when the taxpayers were the ones that funded the infrastructure the incumbents are holding out on now.
Answer: No.

This loose assembly of used parts isn't a gaming pc. Running 5+ year old games at 30fps doesn't really count.

It's an 8 year old GPU that was fairly low end when new, and 4GB for RAM. That isn't meeting close to minimum requriements on most non-indie new releases. This is as much a "gaming PC" as a dusty used PS4.
Rather than popping off on academia, why not attack the real issue, which is lack of proper testing.

No models, forecasts, fittings, or prophecies mean anything with heavily biased data. I'm unaware of a solid method to counteract this problem.

If my understanding is correct, we need population-wide testing to get a good basis for predictions of the future. Something which, unless I crawled under a rock again, we simply haven't come close to achieving (at least in my neck of the woods).
I could find one source here with such a ranking (didn't dig in their method though): https://ideas.repec.org/top/top.inst.nbcites.html

I was with you until paragraph 4. What is this responsibility to the US economy you speak of? The Amazon Essentials line generally provides a better product for a lower price to the average consumer. Does this put its partners out of business? Not forcefully. If the consumer chooses Amazon Essentials over their partner this is an optimal outcome right?

I just assembled a mini-ITX computer recently. It's amazing having the entire system on a 6x6 inch motherboard. A few inches deep for the CPU cooler. The NVMe SSD is inside the motherboard.

I do have a gigantic external GPU which almost doubles the size of the entire system, and because of that I also need a decently big power supply. But the entire system is literally just incredictlmotherboard + attached GPU + power supply.

Being able to fit it all into a NZXT H210 (still relatively big compared many other SFF cases) is great, especially for transporting it between college and home.

It was about 50% cheaper than buying an equivalently specced laptop. And any laptop with this performance would need to be really big and heavy to accommodate the cooling requirements (45 watt CPU, 220 watt GPU).
Very cool -- one thing I don't understand though. I know that alpha radiation is stopped by a piece of paper thickness. How does this then detect such radiation through the metal of a box if the detector has to be inside?

A hazard rate can be thought of as a patient's one day probability of mortality. A hazard ratio is a ratio of two hazard rates, so 1.25 would mean that people in one group were dying at a 1.25x rate relative to a comparison group.

> If everything you build should be built to last in order to ever be exposed to public

I suspect this becomes more true the closer you get to the metal. As a web developer I have never seen web application code that is built to last, at least in the corporate world. I know its possible to build software in this space that is built to last, because web standards are solid and almost always backward compatible.

Developers in this space are more interested in employable criteria, such as well known named frameworks and tools from NPM. I have heard all kinds of excuses to justify that behavior as somehow credible, but its never based on evidence. The reasoning and excuses always ultimately exist solely to serve the needs of the developer and not the business or product, which is an ethics violation. The near universal presence of that behavior does not make it qualified.
As a contrast, and since you've mentioned Good Pharma, I suggest reading also "Bottle of Lies: The Inside Story of the Generic Drug Boom" ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/0062338781/ )

This book discusses the supply line of generic drugs on US shelves today.
Let's rewrite this thing in C and compile it to webassembly!
The comment above is overstated, but more or less correct. All the naive herd immunity calculations assume a well-mixed population. A large fraction of recovered and immune young people will protect the elderly from contacts with their children, with store clerks, etc., but not from contacts with other elderly. If we successfully protect the elderly, then herd immunity among young people will decrease the probability that the virus gets introduced into a nursing home; but it does nothing to slow the virus's spread once it does.

That heterogeneity also goes the good way though, since people in jobs most prone to spreading the virus (doctors, nurses, store clerks, etc.) tend to get infected first and therefore become immune first. There are models suggesting we might reach overall herd immunity with only ~30% infected (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23149725), though this is obviously speculative.
Hmmm, 1.6B do what exactly? Scrolling mindlessly through algorithm-curated feed that ensure users always got the right amount to dopamine to keep them scrolling for hours? Look around you, people that glue to their screen all the time without realized they are being engineered to do what Facebook want them to do, is that really actually good for society?

Don't get me wrong, I use Facebook once in a while to keep in touch with my friends, and in rare occurrence I even feel "Damn, I'm thankful that Facebook exist" I can see the good in them, but the problem they cause to society cannot be denied. The witch hunt, the cyberbully, the echo chambers, the life's hilight showreel effect, the "do whatever in order to get the Like", etc. (Ugh, I need two A4 to list them all!) These problems may existed since the dawn of internet, but it is amplified by social media, and many of them pioneered by Facebook.

Two-axis scrolling isn't unique to macOS. The way that scrolling has traditionally been implemented on Linux (as mouse buttons 4 and 5) makes it difficult to implement any kind of continuous scrolling, but once you have one axis working, a second one isn't much harder.

The velocity and bounce effects on scrolling are implemented at the application layer. They don't depend on any unique features of the trackpad hardware or driver stack.

Zoom and swipe gestures are nice to have, but I don't think they're critical in the same kind of way that pointing and acceleration are.

Force Touch is more of a gimmick than anything. It's a relatively recent feature, and was only added to the Macbook Air in 2018; very few applications do anything interesting with it. Personally, I leave it turned off.
Signal does this already. Even uses exuberant range requests to simulate padding. Not sure if Signal open sourced this proxy.
Most of the complaints I've heard about non-Apple trackpads focus more on pointing behavior -- finger tracking, pointer acceleration, palm rejection, etc. -- than scrolling.

Literacy in Russia was low during the Russian Revolution. The Russian Empire was one of the last to abolish serfdom in Europe, and the parts where serfdom was abolished earliest, industrialization the greatest, and literacy the highest (e.g. Poland) were parts that had separated by the time of the 1917 Russian Revolution. Also, the monarchy was toppled by an ideologically diverse group. The Bolsheviks would have to fight a civil war before they could institute the Soviet Union. It's really not plausible that any significant number of Russians were spurred into action by reading the Communist Manifesto. Now, undoubtedly some elite group of radicals did just that, but that doesn't require widespread literacy, let alone widespread consumption of sophisticated literature.
They've gotten way too enterprise, and I mean that in the worst way possible. Cloud files should always follow the "don't make me think" philosophy and a feature comparison matrix is the polar opposite of that. I guess it's time to look at Dropbox.

I didn’t say they did. Oh macOS they’re not implemented by the application though, they’re implemented by the UI APIs and thus available to all applications for free. This is not the case on Linux.
See my reply to tenac. The problem isn't that OOP is bad, the problem is that you're doing it badly. It's not that you misunderstand what the ideas are, either. It's just... really bad design.

You even know what the problems are with the design - you described them quite well. But it's not showing that OOP is horribly flawed. It's just showing you that you need a different design.
(As someone who did the same with Netflix and was really devastated they changed their UI there, you can at least go to your rating history and they still--last time I checked--give you the old ratings in their old format, so you can scrape that page and then have not lost your rating effort. I don't say this to in any way disagree with you: just to try to help a fellow ratings-keeper.)

It is not very useful to compare them with flu because people are much more likely to have flu than to have covid. These rates seem very small but remember that the study started in the beginning of february, when there were likely only a handful if any covid carriers in the uk.

If you could preselect a group of people that you know had covid and measure their death rate, the numbers are likely to be much higher. This study did not do this. This is probably because this would require that all patients are tested for covid as they visit their doctor and this was obviously not happening.

no one in the SDL developer community tells you how to support metal or how to use it. instructions for MacOSX redirects you to another library, which has since removed their instructions.

Seconded. I'm using a cellular hotspot due to lack of HS options, even here in the outskirts of Austin. KISS.
I like sff machines like the Dell Optiplex. The problem with them though is the lack of compatible graphics cards.
The BitPay outcry is totally warranted. If the PineTab folks are reading this, I highly recommend taking a look at OpenNode. It's an api much like BitPay (but without all of their issues). They charge a small fee, and give you USD.
if the software already exists, then it's not a risk question, but one of cost.

the buyer can not shift the risk to the seller. how would that go? put out a tender for a completed solution and then wait until someone builds the software on their own risk, hoping to win the tender? that's like a designer competition, and those have been considered unfair.
This topic is not new, there are a lot of youtube videos about that(and done in exactly same manner - repurposing used office pc with a new video card). The resulting machine is not well-thought, why buying SFF case, if your video card does not fit?

Is peertube cool? I mean would the tiktok crowd like it?

My opinion: it needs 90% better UX and 10% content.

The content is a by product of having an app/site you like. Make it faster,leaner,simple and featureful. I know easy for me to say that, my point is that's what would make me use it and stick around.

Also,these platforms like peertube and mastodon really need to get on board with ditching email. I wouldn't be a HNer it HN required email (please I beg you don't change that). Same goes for reddit.

By end-to-end, I meant that the server can't see your data. For example, the idea of deploying one or more SyncThing instances to cloud providers that would never see your unencrypted data. There's an open GitHub issue about it since 2014 (https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/issues/109).
There's actually a lot of easy ways to combat viral infections. This was well known in an alternative medicine forum I used to hang out in, which probably no longer exists because it was a Yahoo group.

I don't really understand why the world is approaching this problem the way it is. A lot of the things we are doing are very much in the vein of that Einstein quote about being unable to solve a problem from the same level of thinking that created.

This pandemic grew out of modern life. It grew out of 7 billion people living on planet Earth and global travel and Affluenza. We just keep bulling on ahead with more of the same.

There are fixes, but they aren't likely to come from our current main stream approaches. And this is problematic because everything we are doing is making the economy top heavy in a way that's actively hostile to the little guy. This makes it hard to start small somewhere.
This is really common. A lot of people struggle with it then something clicks and they get really into it. Happened to me too, though I have to say the micromanaging (in and out of fights) is a bit too high for me so I've gone off Iceborne recently.

Interesting, I've noticed the exact opposite. For me, rewriting a program produces a slightly different program with different trade-offs. It's rare to have the time to build a bunch of different implementations of the same code, but when I have time it results in code that I'm very happy with.

The user is me. Yes, it happened. In fact, it happens all the damned time. Lots and lots of web services don't bother verifying e-mail addresses because they figure they'll lose conversions. I complain on Twitter every time this happens to me, because it pisses me off -- read the thread for links to some other examples.

The goal of my complaining is not to pile on Zoom but rather to raise awareness that e-mail verification is not a thing that you can just skip. It's important and -- in my humble opinion -- every service should strictly verify all e-mails before letting users use their account in any way.

I don't know why I'd make this up. Why would I rant about a problem that didn't actually happen?

Consider that at the start of the 20th century, there was no other mass media besides print. Western literacy rates were poking into the 90% range (with some demographic variation) by sometime around the dawn of America.

There's always been more to culture than print (as with any media), of course, and reading culture has never meant universal critical engagement with deeply thoughtful texts. But the place of print between the enlightenment and the rise of broadcast & networked media was huge -- it soaked up the space occupied by all media now.

Maybe the new things aren't worse than the old thing, maybe they are. But any picture that doesn't reckon with the fact that things are in fact different now isn't going to be a very accurate one.
