The powers that be in Beijing and China must be pinching themselves; none of their predecessors had gotten this fortunate, for this long. Every day the US leadership appears committed to demolishing its outward image of a prosperous and stable democratic order. Meanwhile, they can continue running roughshod over political opposition and bullying their neighbours, totally unopposed.

Russia has used the past 15 years to take South Ossetia, Abkhazia and Crimea and cement Putin's now-lifetime grip on domestic institutions.

China, free of US pressure has refined its global logistics and supply chains, increased its military buildup and has becomes the world's go to vendor for 5G solutions. While also keeping Taiwan, HK, Xinjiang and South China Sea firmly under its thumb.

Meanwhile, the US stumbles from crisis to crisis, with a good chunk of its 99% literate population now thinking that mail-in ballots, a cornerstone of its voting system are rife with fraud, and that wearing masks is a political stance.

Oh, and Hacker News, in response to the country's chief executive's blustering about closing down social media, ponders if fact-checking is a 'solved problem'.

Some tribes (Navajo Nation included) are still receiving direct health care. There's a huge hospital in Gallup, NM, as well as another in Shiprock. Health care is supplied by the federal Indian Health Services (of HHS). In no way should this be construed as "far below" most US Standards.
Other tribes have opted out of direct health care preferring to receive Title 638 funds to administer for their health care. These tribes' health care naturally varies with the way the individual tribes administer their programs.
The Navajo Nation is larger than the state of West Virginia, so the analogy of town-level government wouldn't seem to apply.

Hi, do you plan to be a full BaaS? With Authentication, email confirmations, push notification etc?
There's a couple areas where Tesla needs help, and the two I've experience so far waiting for my Y is logistics & customer service.

They've had extremely lousy communication so far with the delivery.

I was originally supposed to have the car on Memorial Day, but they called the day before saying it wasn't in WA (where I live) yet. When I called back on Memorial Day and asked where it actually was, they told me it got on a truck that morning. Logistically, if they knew the car wasn't getting on a semi anytime soon, why could I schedule a delivery appointment?

Yesterday, they re-scheduled my delivery (which is supposed to now be tomorrow) from the service center to a direct home delivery without notifying me. Of course, I had to call them to confirm and ask whether they were going to try and fit a semi truck on the narrow city streets where I live or if they were going to drive the car itself to me, but the delivery specialist has no clue.

Hopefully things go as planned tomorrow and there isn't another delay, but the communication so far has been worse than my experience dealing with a regular car dealership.

That being said, I'm looking forward to the Y and there's a reason I'm buying a Tesla instead of something else. I can't complain too much since the timing of the delivery (as long as it isn't delayed too much more...) is fantastic since my existing lease ends in a week, but I'm looking forward to actually driving it and forgetting about this headache.

If Tesla figures out the logistics & customer support (and QC...), they'll be worlds ahead in the buying experience, but for now most other car dealers coddle you much more (with the exception of the negotiation process).
AMP in part made me switch to Apple News - it's buggy and doesn't respect browser history (major usability failure on Google's part).
Your postulate is generally correct on a quarterly time span. It's generally incorrect on a 5-year time-span. Good examples are Carly Fiorina gutting HP in ways which weren't immediately externally visible, or Bezos / Jobs pursuing tactics which took years to show value.

Key differences between the Board / shareholders and the CEO include:

(1) Amount of time available. Boards meet a few times, and it's exceptionally hard to get buy-in for something which doesn't have a concise executive summary. Shareholders have even less time.

(2) Insider information. Shareholders (and, to some extent, Boards) have far less inside information than the CEO.

If you'd like good evidence, the book "The Dictator's Handbook" builds a pretty good case that mirrors my experience operating at both executive and board levels. It's not a complete explanation, but I think it accounts for 50% of the types of dynamics described.

If full-length academic texts aren't your thing, CGP Grey has a nice summary on Youtube too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rStL7niR7gs

>> The key skill CEOs need to be CEOs can be summarized as: "How to become a CEO."

> That's a very cynical and reductionist view

It may be cynical, but it mirrors my experience. It's definitely not reductionist. "How to become a CEO." is an incredible complex, intertwined set of skills. Some of those skills include effectively leading companies, but others do not.

What does 'substantial' mean? "of considerable importance, size, or worth.". We further constrain the definition with 'anything less than'. So what we're saying is, 'of an especially considerable importance, size of worth'. Okay, well, what does that mean? It has to be a number large enough to influence the election result, but there's no evidence election results have flipped elections due to enough fraudulent mail-in ballots. With this interpretation, the numeric quantity does not matter, but the impact does, yet it is still untrue.
There is hardly any maintenance on them. I had a minor wind noise issue when I first got it that they took care of in a couple hours. Since then, it’s been washer fluid and tires.

The kinds of routine maintenance and repair items you typically don’t want to take your car to a dealer for aren’t much of a thing on a Tesla. Then there are the big ones where you probably do want the dealer working on it. Like if some significant mechanical problem occurs I want Tesla working on it. Not to mention, a lot of the more expensive repairs are going to be covered by warranty or insurance anyway. Sure, they’re expensive, but so is everyone else.

If you bought a new or new-ish Ford and there was a mechanical failure would you want to take it to a Ford shop or a random mechanic? Yes, there’s a significant number of people in the latter group, but they’re going to feel that way no matter what they drive. Most of them probably don’t buy new cars because of it. Many people who buy new cars either don’t care or actually prefer to go to the dealer.
Literally hundreds of people, including children, have died drinking bootleg alcohol being hawked as a COVID-19 cure. It is simply not the case that “any reasonable adult” knows your joke is a joke - that may be the case in developed countries where people have reliable access to actual doctors. But in developing countries this has been a serious problem.

Misinformation kills innocent people. A harsh no-tolerance policy is acceptable given this is the worst global health crisis in 100 years.
And if possible/available, talking to a therapist can be a huge help. For various reasons I don't talk about various serious issues to my nearest and dearest, and it's been really helpful to have someone to talk to every two weeks who is 1) not entangled with the various issues, 2) paid to listen, and 3) professionally trained to do so.

While, anything is probably better than nothing, I've found that it's crucial to find a therapist that one 'clicks' with. I wasted quite a bit of time sticking with a therapist who didn't help (and possibly made things worse, much as she meant well).

If a therapist is not an option, I also recommend support groups. In some ways those have been even /more/ of a help than a therapist, because the fact that they're not paid does matter, and the fact that it's a solution without an end-date comforted me.

As a thirty-something, 1) I wish that I looked for help earlier, and 2) I would do everything in my power to move to a different place if I couldn't find the support wherever I was. It's been /that/ helpful.
He obviously doesn’t think it is 2% because 2% in California would be nowhere close to “rigging the election” (his words).
Rampant incompetence isn't the same as fraud, and one would still have to make the case that we lose hundreds of envelopes more often than we have an entire data-store go missing (or, for that matter, than we have a fleet of digital voting machines crash and deny access to the polls to face-to-face voters for hours).
Then Twitter has to lose their protections as a 'carrier' and become a publisher with all the regulation that goes along with being a publisher.
Or, a person is being unfairly passed over for opportunities for any number of reasons outside their control. Bad companies do exist, and not everyone has their pick of jobs.

Yes.

I don't want to be dismissive, if you have some kind of distinction you're trying to get at, I'm open to hearing it. But I personally don't see a big conceptual difference between Reddit and a forum, other than that one of them happened to get bigger. And I'm pretty skeptical of using size as a criteria here, because it would force us to say that Google+ and MySpace stopped being social media at some point when they dipped in popularity.

It's extraordinary to claim there will be an uptick in fraud if we do large scale mail in voting in the US?

Even the above linked claim in snopes says fraud is more common with mail in ballots.
They set up a commission in 2016 and found nothing so they closed it quietly. But they are still making the same claims. To me this shows that they have no interest in establishing hard facts. Trump says whatever benefits him as long as he can get away with it.
And he wasn’t prevented from saying anything. We got more speech here, not less.
I’m often away from a power outlet, so battery life is paramount. The battery life in Bootcamp is unacceptably short (3 hours) because the DGPU is always on.
I like OBS as it allows a good amount of customization.

Also allows you to set up your layout for the video-windows, with presets/templates, iirc.

Recommend you have a second screen open on the obs, though, so you can easily manage what’s up or not.

Would also be a good idea to start experimenting early to figure out some good layouts etc depending on how you want to present the material.

NextDNS is advertised as Cloudflare + Pi-Hole. And I think this is correct.

Something wrong with the Pi-Hole, I have to sit down (likely at home), and do it -- even to add/edit something. NextDNS is much simpler, I can set up from anywhere and I can even ask my wife to fix herself stuffs.

Must be just personal but these days, I'm not too keen on doing everything myself the way I want. I'm learning to say NO to a lot of things.

Ask HN: I can't read effectively anymore, how to fix this?
I'm not sure how to explain it, but when I sit down to read a peice of text, my eyes see texr, my brain parses text, but that's about it. Its like my brain is "out of foucs".Often times I have to run over a single sentence several times before I'm able to extract any meaning of it. On to0 of that I cant seem to fully read anything whether it be an article on the internet (which usually gets roughly skimmed and closed) or a book (which I'll skip through beefily and close)

When I was a kid / teenager, on the other hand, I could read anything fictions or non-fiction, technical or scientific cover to cover if I wanted, and even maybe get somethingout of it.
I agree, writing or exercising every single day can turn into more bad than good in the long run. I think 4 days per week is ideal.
Almost no one is ever happy with fact-checking, it often just leads to more disputes about whether or not the fact-checking is correct or warranted. To me it seems much more efficient to simply teach people not to take anything posted on social media seriously and to better think for themselves. One may say that the president should be an exception because of the number of people he reaches, but what about a famous actor with millions of followers? Or Elon Musk? What would the line of acceptable influence be in order to make someone fact-checkable? The set of fact-checkable people could be very large, and the manpower required to fact check all of them formidable.

One may also argue that the president harms our country's image but again, senators and congressmen represent us as well and can also influence large amounts of people.

That does not mean he must go uncontested; people can still dispute everything he says by responding (the original form of fact-checking). The discussion should instead be about whether or not political figures should be able to block people. I remember that was an issue a while ago, and I'm not sure where it is now.
Even Elon has said they may have gone too far with the X, and that it was their faberge egg. I would love to have an X purely for the "cool" features like the automatic & falcon doors, but there's just so many failure points (and, of course, the cost).

I understand what you mean but I'm always frustrated when I see Idiocracy brought up in these discussions. Idiocracy is fine if you view it as a light satirical comedy but if you take it seriously to talk about politics it has very sinister undertones.

For one thing it's extremely classist, throughout the movie popular culture is seen as fodder for dumb people while high culture if for clever people. Beyond that it also says that, effectively, dumb people and poor people are the same thing (as exemplified by the "white trash" segment at the start of the movie) and that dumb, poor people are bound to breed dump, poor people (and apparently they do that a lot) while clever people would breed other clever people (but they don't do it because... reasons). So social determinism taken to the limit.

I mean just look at this intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwZ0ZUy7P3E

What are examples of clever people? Darwin, Beethoven and Da Vince.

Examples of "degeneracy"? A girl in skimpy clothes, wrestling and a... woman with boxing gloves? Because clearly "panem et circenses" is a novel concept.

Then we go to say "with no natural predators to thin the herd, we began to simply began to reward those who reproduced the most and left the intelligent to become an endangered species". So we're now talking full-on eugenics. Also Beethoven was well known for fending packs of wolves in his youth, proving his evolutionary superiority.

And I'm this point I'm literally one minute into the movie and I could go on and on and on. At best it's elitist, at worst it's much darker than that.

If you like the movie as a funny comedy then be my guest, but please stop bringing it up in political discussions. If anything it's a symptom of the very thing you're decrying: a dumbed down, unnuanced caricature of political discourse.
It's more complicated than that, at least now. Having land, even crummy land away from the ancestral homeland, is better than not having land, because:

a) you can afford to live there, as an extremely economically disadvantaged group.

b) your tribe is in one place, instead of scattered, which makes it possible to continue to have a group identity and

c) you have at least limited autonomy.

I know people in tribes that have been shafted by the BIA and refused official recognition or land. It hurts. See the documentary "Promised Land" [0] for their account.

Yes I completely agree actually, I've been using Amplify to prototype UI quite well but my plan is to switch to using Postgraphile (or maybe Hasura, I haven't decided yet) + Cognito to replace the backend - primarily so I can use a relational database that isn't Aurora Serverless. I do feel like they've made good progress on the project in recent months, but it really needs another good year of work on it before I'd consider it cohesive enough to stick with.

2. What I really like about firebase is firestore is a scale to zero database. It doesn’t cost me anything if I have tiny amount of data and low frequency of users. This lets me spin up lots of small sites at no cost. With cloud run I have a real api server that also scales to zero. My last GCP bill was 3 cents. And yes, GCP was dumb enough to actually charge my credit card for that. Not sure why they don’t have a $1 minimum.

But I like what I’m seeing as supabase’s pitch.

As a younger developer on the other said of this, I have plenty of senior/older engineers that I would love to work for again, but I also feel a bit awkward reaching out to them to ask if they want to work with me again. It's hard to know if they're looking for work - some have been with my previous employers for 10+ years, and I assume they're being paid well and allowed to do what they want for the most part. It feels arrogant of me to reach out to them and ask them to quit to come help me.

To that end, obviously judge this on your own situation, but if anything,junior engineers that used to work under/around you are probably pretty star-struck with you. I'd provide a pretty glowing referral to almost every Principal engineer I've ever worked with if they asked me.

So basically he is afraid of more people voting? Like how is a election where more people then ever vote rigged? Like wtf.

This might fall in line with the analysis of <forgot name sorry> which claimed that election results are more based on which people vote and which don't then on swing voters and that swing voters are pretty much irrelevant.

If this is true and it turns out that an majority of voters in the US is more on the side of the democrats then a voting method which makes more people vote could indeed cause a long term defeat of the republicans in a fair democratic non rigged manner!
