But what you’re trying to argue is that something becomes selfish as long as there is any alternative action which is less selfish. Which is a ridiculous position to hold. By that reasoning, if you wanted to donate money to support your child’s school, it would be selfish because you didn’t donate it to some random school instead. Or if you spent most of your volunteer time helping elderly members of your own faith congregation, it would be selfish because you could have been helping random elderly people.
The retoric that china had 'better response' is strong there. Again, like tin square, that is public and more or less ceded ground. Even if that was not the case, why would they not want more control over the conversation?
If they're so compatible with each other, why do they all have different packaging mechanisms and repos and discourage users from installing software from places not under their complete control?
Covid-19 ‘not a death sentence’
I am not sure what the OP specifically meant, but here goes:

when I talk about "culture" in my city, I am usually referring to how often I will end up at events which broaden my perspectives, simply by tagging along or following the suggestions of friends/acquaintances. For example: wine tastings, art gallery/museum openings, open mic amateur stand up comedy events, [specific thing, e.g. cactus] festivals, and so on. (in my experience many such events are free/inexpensive)
> he doesn't even read the books of his guests

In a 3 hour interview format, I don't think he really needs to. The interview itself is a similar medium, and by not already knowing all of the details, it probably makes it easier to genuinely bring along listeners from zero information to a full picture.
Does this mean that robots like this will be cheaper to produce than CGI?

> For comparison with someone trying to create a similar show, Lex Fridman regularly asks some stupid, stupid questions. He's clearly approaching his guests from his own personal perspective, and not letting the individual perspective of their guests be front and centre.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels that way.

I had high hopes for Fridman's podcast after the JRE revered him as a sort of young, genius, intellectual version of JRE. He's highly respected among JRE online communities, I think because he presents himself the way most JRE listeners expect a generic smart person to sound. Yet every time I listen to him, I'm left scratching my head.

It feels like he's working hard to copy-and-paste the JRE format, but like many other imitators it exposes why Rogan is so popular in the first place: Rogan is a expert conversationalist who makes both the guest and listener feel at ease, like the listener is part of the conversation. His charisma isn't entirely obvious until you start comparing him to imitators.

I'm still hopeful that Lex Fridman's podcast will get more enjoyable over time as he relaxes a bit and masters the art of the podcast. He's been able to get some high profile guests on his show, so the potential is there.
Why is Debian intermediate and ubuntu beginner?
1) Bernie sanders thinks that we should have a tax system that is more progressive than Sweden, has higher capital gains taxes than Sweden, higher corporate taxes than Sweden and an individual wealth tax which Sweden does not have.

At least on the issue of taxation, it's clear that he is to the left of that country (and basically every other country on the globe).

2) He also is for virtually abortion on demand where in Sweden it is largely prohibited after the 22nd week.

3) On health care Bernie Sanders has said that individuals should have "no premiums, no deductibles, no copays" which is also to the left of Sweden where individuals are expected to pay for some of their own medical care (before the government steps in to cover all expenses past a certain point).

To be honest I can't think of any issue off the top of my head where Bernie Sanders is to the right of Sweden's current policies.

Do you seriously think that if Bernie moved to Sweden he would start calling their politics too left wing and start arguing for conservative market reforms? That is very hard to imagine.

> I'm sure that there are other unintended consequences, such as higher rents, but who knows.

That's not that easy.

While Switzerland doesn't do rent control per se and there can be regional differences depending on scarcity of real estate for rent a landlord is rather restricted in raising rent once a contract is signed.

The only reasons why a rent can be raised are:

- Additional investments into an apartment, but the raise needs to be in proportion to the investment

- The bench mark mortgage rate goes up (on the other hand the rent needs to be lowered when the bench mark rate goes down, which is rarely the case nowadays, with a benchmark of 1.25%)

- Inflation to a certain amount, but quite restricted

Else than that rents can't just be raised.

All that said and while I see where the decision is coming from I think it's a bit ludicrous and I don't think that many employees will actually try to get this benefit. To begin with: labor laws are more flexible than rental contract law. So there's always a threat of losing your job if you try to push it.

But there's - at least in my opinion - an ethical edge. I, for one, felt highly privileged to be able to work from home and not being dependent on public transport during rush hour. In addition my employer invested a lot to get the infrastructure for thousands of people up to scratch in a very short time.

My ethical compass would feel it's wrong to squeeze additional benefits from an arrangement, which potentially safes my life and from which I feel that my management puts a lot of trust in me and my colleagues.
> org mode is a basically similar to other wiki dialects with similar syntax, limitations, tooling, etc. Other than the (emacs) tooling, I don't see a strong reason for preferring it.

Org-mode has a strong focus on organisational features (hence the name) and is quite extendable and modulare. With org-babel it has also a very sophisticated environment for literate programming. How are wikis in that regard this days?
I use org mode and my work is fairly simple. Never underestimate the power of being able to go back to your thought process on something you did 1, 5, or even 10 years ago.
Woah, I was trying to look at the source of bcrypt.compare and ended up at http://bcrypt.compare/.

He sometimes has "toxic" lefty guests also though. I don't see his showing being biased.

If anything listening to Alex Jones for half an hour made me realize how nutty Jones is. Because I never would have searched out Jones on my own. Nor am I interested in what Vox has to say about Jones.

It's a good thing to hear other points of view without frothing at the mouth and demanding they are shut up. It's also a good thing to separate the point of view from the person. Because you disagree doesn't mean the person is evil and should be stricken from the book of life. This point seems to be lost in much of modern discourse.
> People who mostly utilize a browser in their day-to-day computer usage don't have any advantage in using Windows whatsoever.

I would agree with that, but then they also don't have any advantage in using a Linux Desktop when any web-kiosk Chromebook or tablet would do.
I've never tried org-mode without emacs, but this says you can get an equivalent in other editors like Atom and VS Code.

https://opensource.com/article/19/1/productivity-tool-org-mo...

I don't know how customisable it would be in those editors. My org-mode is pretty customized via my emacs config and I don't know if they would support agenda.
Starting in 2005, I've been keeping dated text files in a Log folder, organized by year and month. Anytime I need digital "scrap paper" I make sure I keep it. If I need to save files, I open instead a dated log folder.

There's a critical optimization problem here the young often get wrong. One needs to "Huffman code" the work put into organizing on entry, versus the work later in retrieving. For example, I save physical receipts into four rotating bins by quarter, then I vacuum pack the old receipts and stash them in the garage. Occasionally I save hundreds of dollars by proving I shipped something (and that would be a receipt I probably scanned) but any more work than this on entry would be a mistake.

It's the complete lack of organizational structure, other than date, that make my log files so useful. I instead get good at including keywords, always asking how I would find this later. I never have to wonder whether I filed this under "garden" or "tomatoes", resorting to a system-wide search. And this system has survived many editor migrations.

I agree with the arguments not to use a commercial system. That's like putting an aspirational cookbook on your coffee table. Org Mode is also too structured on entry to be optimal for me.
Ironically, I know more about JRE from YouTube videos. Never heard one podcast proper.

But, on the other hand, I am glad I have Spotify subscription cause now I get to continue to enjoy him.
The yet another external dependency is way more than Now() though. Mocking just Now() is trivial, but most of the time it's by far not the only function which I personally use from the time package.
Only in your incredibly contrived interpretation of the english language. "Former" would be better here but there is still not any significant ambiguity as to what is meant.
In the US it is similar. If you have a home office you can deduct it as an expense, but it is a bit of a pain. To get the full benefit it has to be a dedicated work space. When I was doing freelance editorial work I didn’t bother because my only dedicated expenses were my red pencils and my copy of CMS.
I do. When I installed it the default configuration had no desktop enabled but had commented-out lines to enable KDE. I think it's best to think of it as not having a default or preferred one, and you are instead required to pick one.

(I haven't tried everything, so I don't have firsthand knowledge that they all work equally smoothly.)
I don't think that's a really fair characterization to say he tries to remain "neutral" because he does take stances on things, sometimes very radical. In his last interview with David Pakman (a man who by the way runs a progressive Youtube talk show, not exactly a politically neutral guest) he said that Twitter should probably be regulated like a public utility, and perhaps even purchased outright by the government. That's a fairly radical stance, and even if it was said more in jest or posed as a hypothetical that is certainly not someone a host selling a "neutral" experience would say.
Monitoring in Azure: The High-Level Fundamentals
Is the back catalog valuable without a system like YouTube's? There are countless small clips of the Joe Rogan show that are constantly recommended by the algorithm. Is there any indication that Spotify is capable of replacing that?
But, Workflowly literally does exactly and everything I want. It exports plain text, so my data is always portable. It's great.

I don't want primitive, I want convenient and easy to use. I don't want to have to think about how I'm taking notes or write in lisp or "rice" anything.

Also, Emacs is ugly and doesn't sync with my phone. I'm sure I could fix both of those things with sufficient effort, but again, I want to put forth effort solving actual problems, not remaking my Workflowy setup.

This entire topic is microcosm of goofy command line/unix fetishism.

If you want primitive, get a paper notebook. One page per day. That works well, too (seriously).
> closed source blobs creeping into the ecosystem and so forth

Modern Linux is heavily reliant on closed source firmware blobs already.
So true. Believing we will “finish” needing computer programmers because “the work is done” misses the basic physics that governs this process. And naively believing we are finally there is a regularly resurgent myth.

We have been predicting machines would not need programmers since there were programmers. It is true for a _given_ task at a given complexity level. But overall the demands on, and for, a modern programmer have only gotten higher, because the demand of all business and human activity is to offer more than we might have otherwise.

Just wait until, for an app to differentiate itself in business, you have to create intelligent responses in a variety of augmented reality interfaces, correctly predict human behavior, and interface with the physical environment in a routine and nuanced way. And the companies that can do it well are suddenly dominating the ones who do a sloppy job.
Looks like you prefer to incite people over contributing to any kind of intelligent discussion. But FWIW, I kinda need to use the netflix site to look for stuff to watch.
I would still argue that Free use to have the best of the best customer service. I remember in the early 2010', when you were calling them, you usually had somebody that spoke perfectly and was very technically savy.

Now, their customer service, while not awful, is no better than the other operator, which is a shame.

Their fight with Google for the Youtube bandwidth was really not putting their customer first also. Their problem was maybe justified, but being a Free customer, you were paying the price for it with Youtube being sometimes barely usable. Same happened, and still happen sometime with Twitch and Netflix.
Their 4g coverage is still garbage in a lot of place also and definitely worse than any other operator.

Overall these days, they are not so much better than the other big telco. But I have to agree that they really shook up the market and that was really beneficial. And they are still pushing and innovating, arguably less than before, which keep the competition going.
I'm confused how this would damage my point. It's not like conservative media isn't wildly more profitable in many other countries.

This has to do with a scarcity of friendly and popular media outlets for authoritarian, reactionary, and conservative views.
Yep, it's very context-dependent. I was just pulling an example from a hat. Point being that, in general, you learn to communicate a lot more and a lot more explicitly than people are generally used to doing.
Another perspective is that if you live somewhere remotely, employers will pay for your increase in cost of living if you move to a more expensive place.
I wonder how long this stays true though.

Microsoft seems to aim for deep integration of Linux in Windows per WSL. They even showcased that they are working on Wayland support for WSL, which would enable using Linux GUI applications directly on Windows.

We may soon get at a point where Linux applications feel as native on Windows as native Windows applications (which use quite a variety of toolkits anyway), as the integration deepens.

Now WSL still uses larger distribution images. But very little holds them from supporting thin Linux images with just the necessary dependencies that launches in Windows as any other application.

Using LLVM for ABI compat is a good tip though!
If you are equating Alex Jones and Ben Shapiro to each other than it doesn't seem like you hold yourself to this intellectual rigor that you expect Joe Rogan to adhere to. How can you expect more from others when you don't seem to practice what you preach?

> you can’t ‘grep’ Jira”.

Well, you can, if you export your issues. Jira has a well working API. It's not hard to write a script for fetching your stuff locally. There are even one or two plugins on melpa for loading it directly into org-mode.
Makes me wonder how simulating time could work? Are there any good reads on how you'd model an environment where variable time intervals are critical factors in the simulation?
Besides "yank," calling alt "Meta" is another silly thing, too. And yes, I'm aware of the reasons. It's still silly in 2020, as was discussed in the recent HN topic on why Emacs isn't attracting new users.
they take the place of the person that hasn't said anything the longest on the grid

This is just a recipe for excluding people who don't speak up. In a larger meeting I particularly want to prompt juniors to speak up, for example. I also want juniors to see each other so they feel more a part of it.

If you are only interested in the last person to speak that's fine but you might as well just use a voice call for that.
127.0.0.1 (aka localhost) isn't affected by your NAT setup. Your browser initiates this scan on the local loopback device, so the traffic will never even leave your computer (even on linux, it's somewhat difficult to get it to route 127.0.0.1 to another computer and it'll break a lot of applications in the process or make them insecure).

IPv6 with a public routed address still means there is a firewall, just like with NATv4. NATv4 just also has a NAT router with that firewall.
These are actually not that hard to do in org-mode, if you are willing to use babel and push the pivot out to something like pandas. :D

That said, no, I don't actually think it is a replacement for spreadsheets. Especially not if you are already fluent in them.
This pandemic has made this observation abundantly clear to me at least. As David Graeber pointed out, there are a whole host of "bullshit jobs" out there.
This is true but I think getting less so as Joe is getting more confident in opining his ideas, look no further than his latest takes on the covid response
99.9% of people listening to JRE have no idea what the ‘original MCG/ITS talk’ is. Rogan’s usefulness is that he is often the first exposure to a person or idea.
It has been my experience as well, and what's worse is that the information is very often out of date, because entire "ways of doing things" go obsolete in Linux Desktop land every 2 or 3 years.
Can someone help me understand what's the difference works and detected?
It's not wrong, but as someone who has basically always used both Windows and Linux, and has spent some time managing a Windows network, Windows machines have their fair share of "just works except when it doesn't" too. And then you end up with "try changing this weird registry setting" or "run this random cmd command" too.
I really like your business idea, also nice looking website!Best of luck
> Health insurance is a great example - a single payer system has much more bargaining power than everyone trying to negotiate for medical care at a moment when they'll die without it.

Also not sure that's the best example.

Singapore, Japan, Germany, Switzerland... all of those are multi-payer, but tightly regulated (which imposes equal costs across all actors, so that's coordination once again).

And I'd have to dig out the article, but I believe the above model (Bismarck) is better at controlling costs, and produces more positive outcomes as well.

The US healthcare system is a mess for a lot of reasons.

Healthcare being tied to employment is probably the biggest.

Maybe the second is a lack of any sort of common healthcare market? You can't just take "any insurance" and go to "any doctor"; instead, you have to navigate a maze of in-and-out-of-network relationships. It's like scheduling an appointment with the Mafia: "My cousin's dog-sitter's best friend's uncle's pool-boy Vinny knows a guy that can take care of your headache."

The adversarial relationship between insurers, patients, and care providers is also a problem. Insurers work very hard to screw hospitals and patients, so hospitals have insane overhead costs to fight against the insurers, and patients... oh god, don't get me started there.

Regulatory capture also plays in. And there's more, but yeah, it's a mess.
> Lots, if not all, of those people are available by themselves though and usually in much better form.

For anyone that enjoys the medical / health guests on Rogan's podcast, I'd recommend "The Peter Attia Drive" podcast. (Not to be confused with Peter Attia's appearance on Rogan's podcast).

Many of the same guests are on both, but on Attia's, they are speaking to an MD and start at a way higher level.

It's a great fit for my 100/200 college level basic understanding of biology and chemistry, it usually starts from there and goes up. There's quite a bit I don't follow exactly because of that, but I certainly prefer that than a dumbed down version of everything.

Agreed. Most of what he talks about is timely/topical. I suspect maybe in 5-10 more years it could get interesting again.
Maybe solving this with a tax thing this way wasn't such a great idea after all.

Heh, what about making employees who want to go to a real office pay for the privilege (with pre-tax money, of course)? If a job must be done on-site, then management must justify it in their budget and have the proper incentives to avoid it if possible.

Ask HN: The most impressive non-academic achievement?
It hit me when filling out an application form that most of my achievements have been largely academic.

Other than that I've spent most of my time exercising, socialising and volunteering. Nothing outstanding. I haven't done any expeditions, climbed high mountains or led a sports team to victory.

I wondered what some of the most impressive things you had seen in young people were.

Obviously you will have outliers who have started companies at 16 and sold them for a few hundred thousand etc.

But what are the things that you've heard of, or in fact done yourself that you've thought "Yeah wow, thats bloody impressive!"

Or perhaps I'm looking at this question the wrong way?
