Would it help if "many" was changed to "some"? I was thinking of people who are more interested in scapegoats than anything, but I didn't mean to make a point about distribution, it was just to acknowledge that it isn't black and white.
USB-C means that I get to use any charger I have and can trivially replace it; a barrel-connector is some one-off component that is precious: if I lose it or damage it I am _screwed_.

The article says the device also support some charging over USB-C... why even bother including a barrel-connector? It feels wrong.
I personally like my hair long(er), but haven't been able to grow it out for a few years!

Not because I didn't want to, it's just that I dislike the awkward phase between short and when it looks nice.

I'm past that now, and it was socially acceptable!

Self sufficient on the bottom of the ocean is IMO no more difficult than self sufficient on Mars, _particularly_ when you consider how much infrastructure you could establish there with even a fraction of the cost of bootstrapping a Mars colony.

If you want to reason about low level compiler optimizations, learn some assembly language. If you want to reason about type systems, learn how to read basic typing rules, it's not complicated.

if you ordered before the 22nd may, it will be shipping soon and you'll get an email when it starts (they said shipping began on 28th, but i haven't received my email yet).

if it was after that date, you'll have to wait for the next batch - no idea when that is scheduled.
It can also be a superpower, to raise issues across boundaries that most people give up and submit to silently. If you're wrong, the backlash prevents much damage and everyone learns something "new". In many cases, the boundaries are self-sabotage and immaturity, ie. org silos.
The WIV is not a bioweapons laboratory. It's an academic research institution. Any gain-of-function experiments they would do would be aimed at understanding viruses, not creating weapons. They would use known backbones, not a virus nobody has ever heard of, that they've never even uploaded to a database.

I'm going to suggest to you that the reason you don't find the reasoning in the debunking to be solid is that you don't understand the field very well. I don't know what your specialty is, but imagine someone who has no experience in it. They might have a lot of weird conceptions about your specialty, they might have no idea how things work in your field, they might find a lot of things surprising. Things that you find obvious might seem dubious to a novice. The arguments made in the debunking are considered very strong by experts in the field. That's what matters.
I wish you could get it with a marble sized trackball instead of the trackpad :D
This was a proposal made by Republicans, in the form of a payroll tax cut (since the first $120K or so of income in America gets taxed 7.5% on the employer side).
This article from USA Today in 2018 implies the effect has been indefinite. Interesting graph, too, that shows the drop in police actively stopping petty crime correlates with a growth in homicides. I heard a Baltimore radio show in 2019 that said pretty much the same thing, highlighted by the police commissioner getting mugged in broad daylight as he was walking down the street with his wife.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2018/07/12/baltim...

“These guys aren’t stupid. They realize that if they do something wrong, they’re going to get their head bit off. There’s no feeling that anybody’s behind them anymore, and they’re not going to do it,” he says. “Nobody wants to put their head in the pizza oven when the pizza oven is on.”
Because the display industry perpetuated the lie that resolution is more important and not pixel density. Apple's metric for retina displays is a lot more honest. Beyond a certain point at a particular distance your eyes would not be able to physically resolve the pixels. 1080p, 1440p, 4k, are all meaningless if you do not include pixel density. A 4k display 3 meters tall has a very different pixel density compared to a 3 inch 1080p device.
just curious, what does axios provide over basic browser "fetch"?
Yes, you would need to fix the pixels to an initial or average value. I remember Nintendo didn't do this a couple years ago, accidentally leaking the name of a new game mode [1] for Smash Ultimate.

> Except Ubuntu where they ship dash by default which is not really bash compatible.

Why would you expect it to be?

dash is a POSIX shell:

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almquist_shell#dash

Even when called as /bin/sh, which implies Bourne/POSIX behaviour, bash leaks all kinds of functionality into the environment such that if you tru to run your "/bin/sh" script on another shell it may not work.

We had all sorts of issues when Debian made the switch: we had to tell people either (a) fix the code, or (b) change your shebang to bash.

If you want Bash behaviour call bash. It's like when I type in "vi" in the command line and I get an editor with all sorts of colours: WTF? If I wanted Vim I would have typed in "vim", but for editing a small file all I need is POSIX vi without the dog and pony display show. /rant
I really disagree. The payment amount was not linked to whether or not individual people stayed at home or whether or not they lived in an area that had strict stay-at-home orders.

The economy may not seem "stimulated" compared to where it was a year ago - but it is certainly "stimulated" compared to what it would have been if the additional checks didn't go out and a much larger swath of the population missed rent, car payments, or credit card bills.
Cool. And who does the website with videos about brutality against police? This doesn't do anything but making the problem worse.
No, if people need access to their money they need to be able to sell off their investments damn near instantly. This isn’t real estate.
Interesing. I guess it's a matter of perspective. The headline could have just as easily highlighted the increase in the national debt. This money didn't fall out of the sky.

Or perhaps, more accurately, characterize it as a loan that will eventually have to be paid off - directly or indirectly - by the taxpayers currently receiving it as "income."

Question: This isn't actually income, is it? That is, it's not taxed. Nor is it capital gain, as that is taxed as well. This would traditionally be labeled an entitlement, correct?
> Japan led in advanced technology in the late 1980s, and then just seemed to give up.

I wouldn't necessarily say that--what happened was cellular phones. And cell phones absolutely ate technology.

The Japanese (especially the teenage girls) took to those like a duck to water. Japanese phones were WAY ahead of the West for absolutely forever.

The other problem for Japan was language. So, exporting culture was difficult. However, it did happen--"Ghost in the Shell" was 1995 which led to The Matrix in 1999. Anime probably peaked about 2002-ish and then effectively just became mainstream.

The US gets a big cultural advantage from the fact that the world has almost completely defaulted to English as the Lingua Franca.
USB-C lets you share adapters with others.

Their commoditized nature means people are making smaller and lighter adapters.

Depending on the wattage you can use the same USB-C adapter for multiple devices.

There are many USB-C external batteries available.
There's two sides to every story. And every business/organization has bad apples. Achieving perfection becomes order of magnitudes more expensive the closer you are to achieving it, so some level of acceptance that factors economic cost must be reached. The police are humans too. Knowing people are throwing Molotov Cocktails and bricks at police cars, I wouldn't sit still in my car if people, I mean, a mob (mentality) surrounded it. Self preservation.

My theory on why the police need to use some level of brutality is because a mob mentality is an animal. It's an amorphous mammalian manifestation that is afraid of loud noises, pain, and losing it's ability to breath easily. So they use counterpart tools to control it, because when this animal cant be controlled, the whole city could be be razed in flames. (As an example, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1992_Los_Angeles_riots#Destruc... )

Im not excusing shitty behavior, but it's worth considering there are millions of events going on in these protests, and all the excess force ones fit in a bullet list on my monitor. Also, in many of the listed events, the cops told people to move away or go back inside repeatedly before taking action. From their perspective, keeping battle formation is necessary to success. And lawfully, you are supposed to comply with this demand.

Just things to consider. I hope I'm not gut-reaction-down voted for taking the middle ground.
It's about having any specific goal, really.

Money is more of a general goal, like happiness. Hard to stay focused.
I'm aware that some Compaq (HP) laptops suffer similarly due to poor design. Their problem IMHO is that DUST being drawn in by the fan cannot escape. Progressively it covers internal components which heat up.

I do not dispute such possibilities, there is also possibility it will mutate into flying AIDS. The process is about complex systems interactions and claim that it is attributed slowly to virus mutation without such evidence is outright reckless, unprofessional, and unscientific.
Not all jobs are the same or similarly enjoyable. E.g. instead of working on CRUD apps for the rest of the life, one might prefer working on a Rust interpreter in Haskell or a Gameboy emulator in Prolog - would be hard to find such 9-to-5 jobs - and after all, one might not want 9-to-5 schedule at all.

In other words - one might want freedom, basically.

As for not helping someone - programming can be recreational, just for the sake of enjoyment.
Agree with this.

I also realize I wasn't clear here, so lets says you have a person A who is a sociopath talk to person B. After that interaction person A comes to person C (me in this example) and says "I don't know, they strike me as a sociopath."

Now in these cases, when I've had enough interaction with Person A in other situations, to feel confident in my understanding of their challenges, and when the feedback on Person B from other sources are not reflective of that perception, and are typically hard over the other way ("this person is so empathic" kinds of things).

I hypothesize that the body language of Person B was signaling to Person A that their masking was not as effective as they would have liked.

The other thing I wanted to be clear about is that it isn't a judgement about them either way, people are who they are. What is important as a manager is understanding the dynamics of your team and how they perceive the world and evaluate it. One has to do that if you have any chance at all of working together effectively.
Did you write your own plugin or are you using VideoRoom or something? The thing that turned me off of Janus is that VideoRoom seemed way too high level and made tons of schema assumptions, but all of the important SFU functionality seemed intertwined into the codebase of that plugin, so if I were to actually want to build a "custom solution" it looked like I would have to maintain an annoying-to-merge fork of that thick layer :/.
You know what needs to stop? School shootings. I’m not defending police brutality, but this nation loses its shit for one grown man but shrugs when dozens of innocent children are slaughtered.
Apparently yes. See Lars Blackmore's chapter in the 2016 "Frontiers of Engineering" (National Academy Press) (free registration required)

"SpaceX uses CVXGEN (Mattingley and Boyd 2012) to generate customized flight code, which enables very high-speed onboard convex optimization."

This is actually a great example of a true NASA spinoff, btw. Lars Blackmore was at JPL before moving to SpaceX. Landing on Mars and landing a first stage back on Earth aren't the same problem, but they're close enough for the work to transfer.
Oh, I'm sure you can find that stuff elsewhere.

What this does is rub our noses in the fact that the system is broken. Enough is enough.
Absolutely nothing.

USB-C seems superior because it comes with a data link, and negotiates higher power ratings.

The tradeoff is that this comes with complexity. The Pinebook team, sensibly, decided they didn't want to fuck with building and verifying USB-C power negotiation subsystems.

Guarantee that everyone complaining about it here has never had to implement, or be accountable for the BOM cost of, a USB-C power negotiation system.
If you feel that police are subjected to systemic violence and death based on their color or class, feel free to build one and share that compelling content with the world.
Sure, I can be more explicit.

1. News is very important, especially today. None of us would have known what happened to George Floyd if a bystander hadn't been there to videotape it. That's what reporters do all day every day all over the world for a million other topics.

2. News is dying. Papers are barely breaking even, and with covid-19, plenty of papers have folded altogether.

3. News is a good example of tragedy of the commons (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons). We all want it but no one wants to pay for it.

4. The HN crowd has a pretty high median income. I bet they can shell out the $11/month for a nytimes (or whatever) subscription. The Economist has a $1/week offer on right now. Washington Post has a $39/year offer I believe.

5. Despite all of this, the majority of comments here are bitching about the news and not wanting to pay for it. Why?
Magnetic Monopole – Dirac's_quantization
I would assume that police has motivation and resources to investigate brutality against police, and those who do it have less legal protection. In other words, it's taken care of.

Things going the other way seems to be where the current system does not work.
Depending on the clothing item, turning it inside-out may help (e.g., reduce colour fade).

45 is smarter than any gives him while I think Trump scores higher than 130 on an IQ test.

This is a high functioning persona that knows exactly what he is doing within his Dunbar circle.

That whole impeachment thing has terrible optics when you look at it with hindsight. Maybe if Hillary et al. left the president alone the COVID19 crisis would have been handled much better. Even Donald is not immune to that kind of negative exposure and the pressure it brings. Keeping him agitated was and is not the superior move.
Take a look at inkl.com
Yeah the "inject a state service into everything you need" is one way of doing it, but it gets messy and it tightly binds your components with that particular state handling approach (e.g. re-using components across projects might get difficult if you have a bespoke state service for Project A and you want to use A's components also in Project B & C etc). We also found that there are big concerns about which components are allowed to access and update which state - e.g. why does a tiny inconsequential GUI control used to copy something to a clipboard potentially get access to read and mutate the entire application's state? You can start sharding it up and put in "ACLs" of sorts ... but that is some of the messyness I mentioned :)

Not seen Akita previously - will take a look. Thanks!
Unless someone kickstarts a system like that, which would be insanely high startup cost with insanely high risk, the way to actually get to what you are talking about is for a lot more people to pay for the news, so eventually they can stop relying on advertising.
This reminds me of the Airbus concept. They follow what's called a "lights out" design for all of those buttons on the overhead panel. When things are set and working the way they should be for normal flight, there is no indication. Only if something is non-normal does the indication or button light up.

For example, buttons that should be "on" for flight only light up when the system they control is "off", and things like emergency overrides or backup systems that should be "off" normally have buttons that light up when they're "on".

It's an interesting concept. Obvious benefit is you can glance at the overhead panel and instead of having to consider the state of, say, 50 or more buttons, you can instantly see if everything is "normal" for flight. But the downside is that it's not as intuitive to answer the question "is system X turned on (or off)"...you have to look at the button, then know what's considered "normal" for that system, on or off, and determine if the lack or presence of indicator light means on or off. That said...the pilots know the plane well enough where it's not a problem.
All of these arguments apply to barrel connectors as well. Many, many devices have barrel connectors for just such a reason.
The problem is that, by your definition, the police are turning into an animal too. They're supposed to be better than that and work to lower the tension, but instead they react and escalate things. If they can't be better than that, we shouldn't be paying them and giving them guns. And we shouldn't be exempting them from prosecution for their actions.
Nobody shrugs. Fixing it on the other hand in the USA - good luck.
Drugs.

Serious. See if you have any level of ADHD and if so, get medication for it. I somehow managed to get through most of my 20s without medication. With the meds, my productivity is on an entirely different level.

I lived through most of my life without it and I can tell you the difference is night and day.

(To be clear, you'll still need good habits, routines and motivation but all those things come a lot easier with the right brain chemistry.)
Yes, unfortunately, most of my work is on low-level shared libraries and it often wants to rebuild everything.

Doesn't look so to me.

instead I think it's because those policemen (which are not all policemen) enjoy being others.
">" prefix is perfectly sufficient without relying on additional parsing + styling. Worked in email and forums and usenet for decades.
That's completely not the point. They're talking about the display, not video-out capabilities.
Tu quoque.

Police already publish arrest records, mug shots, and they're covered by the media as well. Criminal charges are public records and covered by FOIA requests.
> Is there a scientific way to find out?

That's an interesting question.

I'm reminded of the "3 compatibility questions" some university worked out for asking someone you were considering dating:

- Do you like scary movies?

- Have you ever traveled to another country alone?

- Would you like to ditch it all and go live on a sail boat?

I wonder if there are questions that would scientifically predict compatibility with an autistic person.

Personally I have both (extended) family members, some friends and some coworkers who have (or I suspect have) autism or aspergers.

I enjoy the quirkiness, but I also really enjoyed the big bang theory.
I think this case demonstrates that it’s foolish for G to try to decide how businesses should represent themselves if their objective is to maintain a useful database.

It’s like having an address database and requiring that each address has a number and street. We have a post on that on HN every six months or so, and I’m glad for it.

Software is supposed to be designed for humans; humans shouldn’t have to contort themselves for the sake of software.
React and the tools used to build React applications (mainly webpack) strongly incentivize engineers to create single page applications, but don't provide good routing and back-button support out of the box. To make a React SPA behave like a traditional web page, you need to add a third party routing library, and that has traditionally been a dumpster fire in React.

That's a quick example of the way the React monoculture is bad for users of the web from a structural, not content point of view.

I say this as someone who has been using React professionally for 5+ years, and who was initially incredibly excited about React's potential. I'm less convinced it's actually good, after seeing how it's used in day to day work with regular engineers working on regular software that isn't Facebook scale.
>Programming AND speaking AND good writing will put you on a better career path.

This is very true. If you are a decent developer AND have this "speaking AND good writing skills" you will go much further - it really separates you from the pack...
Feel good story nails it imo. Not just for the US, for the "West" it seems...
I think the police already have pretty good systems for that. If there is actual violence against them, then they can file charges against the known assailants, and have a pretty good chance those charges would stick.

Whereas with violence done by police, even if you have the best video in the world proving that they murdered someone on live TV, those charges probably wouldn’t stick. Or even be brought to court.

There needs to be a counterbalance to their overwhelming power in such matters.
Thank you. I will go through and add tonight.
