No, parenting is hard, especially so right now. Every day is a mix of work, and guilt that the kid of a full time working family isn’t getting everything she needs.

Never-the-less, devices are common place now. And it’s not uncommon for children to play on them.

She does have a device that only has age appropriate learning apps on, and parental controls. These apps have the above mentioned checks in place to stop kids getting into the settings.

It makes a lot of sense from technology, environmental and maintenance standpoints, but unless they can get the price and charging speed down significantly then fleet owners will continue to choose gasoline vehicles.

Swappable batteries, like they have for electric warehouse forklifts, would likely help solve the charging speed issue... but it adds an infrastructure challenge. Someone like the Postal Service would be a good candidate since they have many "warehouses" where they could station battery chargers/swappers. AMZL, UPS, Fedex, etc would be more difficult since they tend to have fewer warehouses that are further from many of their delivery endpoints. It's not impossible, and they'll likely be forced to go electric at some point, but it will require additional infrastructure.
In one side we have plenty of long running antifa twitter accounts pushing for violence, on the other we have bogaloo meme pages of people who appose gov abusing their 2A rights.

But now we are supposed to believe antifa and BLM has nothing to do with the death and destruction in the riots. The push for this propaganda is everywhere and it looks like the scapegoat will be the bogaloo meme pages.

It’s strange to me how the two things Facebook gets the most shit for, this and the Cambridge Analytica scandal, are far down the list of reasons that I see as reasons to abhor Facebook. In both cases there are sane arguments to be made in Facebook’s defense, unlike other aspects like their decision on their business model. However, if politics is what it takes for the exodus to begin, so be it.

The thing is, you're not replacing it with something identical. If you want to replicate the behavior of a previous generation USB2 hub, I don't think it would even be that expensive. You just need a USB port controller on each port and negotiate 5V, 1.5A on each of them in addition to the standard USB hub. It would be a bit more expensive, but not terribly so. USB3 may be similar but require some extra switches...

The ask for the 'really expensive' $400 one has vastly more options and capabilities than the traditional USB hub. It's basically a Thunderbolt hub with even more complexity, so it's not unreasonable to think those would be damn expensive.

I'm honestly not sure why no one has made a standard USB2.0 Type-C hub. There's really nothing stopping you from doing it. I guess maybe because it could be confusing for a consumer? I agree, that's a huge issue with Type-C right now. It's very unclear by looking at the port (or the cable) what it's actually capable of. If you're lucky there will be a tiny symbol indicating some subset of functionality, but often times there isn't.

Check out “agenda”, which advertises itself as associating notes with time.
I don't believe the concept of "voting by mail" is at question. It's the method of getting the ballots into individuals' hands. Sounds like you're referring to absentee ballots where someone registers in advanced for an absentee ballot and has it sent to them. _I believe_, in this case, vote by mail ballots are sent to currently registered voters by default. That means there are a flood of official ballots, meant for an individual, that are sitting in mailboxes, being sent to deceased people or people that have moved districts, etc. Those ballots can be filled in by someone else and can be intercepted to prevent counting.

That's how I understand the situation to be.

I would be more impressed to see people quitting that just got their $100K signing bonus and were within their first year of vesting, feeling kind of probationary.
Maybe this would be the case if they froze the account instead of blocking the user and sending money to random people.

You wouldn't send money back to criminals. This isn't normal behaviour.
Uhh. I dislike FB as much as next poster here, but I cannot explicitly state that FB does not benefit society. In a sense, it might be closer to alchohol. It might be ok in small doses, but too much of it will mess you up.

Also, I would hesitate using term 'fascism' on US oriented forum. As arguments go, the label has become largely meaningless.

> As far as I understood (correct me if I’m wrong please), the point of using the React framework is that it’s all “modular” and that the cost of switching developers is lower.

I think your mental model of React may be incorrect. The point of using React is to make front end development easier and more sane, and the modularity allows for more easy re-use and composability. Switching developers still requires ramp-up, although a developer familiar with React would have a head start.

There are still many ways for banks to make money, and challenger banks are betting on the fact they can do it with less overhead.

Big European banks have started closing down branches and laying off staff, while they were pumping VC money to scale across several countries/continents and acquire a customer base among socio-demographics with high potential (mostly young, tech-savvy, traveling, reasonably good with money). These people eventually grow a bit older and need loans, mortgages, investments...
As usual with this sort of "people doing things online" thing; a completely vacuous conspiracy theory. Here is the actual source article:

Here is the plot showing something allegedly different happening this month:

https://blog-cloudflare-com-assets.storage.googleapis.com/20...

What's the p-value on a t-test of difference there, cloudflare spooks? By eyeball there is no difference.

Then a completely unsubstantiated assertion: "The category with the biggest increase in cyberattacks was Advocacy Groups with a staggering increase of 1,120x."

What are these Advocacy Groups of which you speak? The BBC implies it's the NAACP or something; Cloudflare spooks don't say at all -for all we know these "activist" websites are terrorists, racists, anarchist revolutionaries, video game fans: nobody but Cloudflare knows, assuming they're not just making it up, or making a mistake in their group-by query.

Rather than reading this BBC report critically as the piece of nonsense propaganda it is, people on HN seem determined to fit it into whatever fantasies about Russians or Evil 4chan Racist Infiltrators or Weapons of Mass Destruction or whatever (mostly imaginary) bugaboos they're troubled by this week. Disgusting. Fools.

I think "locking millions of people inside" is one of the most serious ramifications you can imagine too. It's like we lost all grip of what suffering and cost is so long as we save lives. I'm not saying we should value lives highly but we sure didn't value them this highly last year and we probably won't next year...

If making it easier to vote hurts the Republican Party, then presumably it's on the Republican Party to make itself more appealing to people.

Incidentally, this is a VERY common argument against extending the franchise, and extremely self-serving. And also typically incorrect; the Tory party in the UK was terrified of letting all men vote, and then of letting all people vote; a century later, they're still getting elected (though of course they have a somewhat different character now that they have to appeal to people who aren't even male landowners...)
> The opposition to mail voting is anchored by Republicans in states that don't offer wide access to mail voting already.

The president has made it clear that despite voting by mail himself multiple times, he does not support wide expansion of the practice.

I admire Zuck more in this situation. This kid is voicing a very popular “unpopular opinion” in the Bay Area and will have a new job within the week, if he doesn’t already.

Zuck, on the other hand, faces an open mutiny and a damaging of the Facebook brand. Perhaps he’s just stuck between a rock and a hard place, though, because Facebook censoring POTUS can only invite more government scrutiny.
It's the right thing to do.

Facebook won't change by inside. Zuck will change his behavior when he feels the pain in his pocket. Every decent person must quit now. Quit. Now.

Oh please:

> Few people noticed when Gov. Jerry Brown signed the changes in AB1921 into law two years ago. In the past, California allowed only relatives or people living in the same household to drop off mail ballots for another voter. The new law allowed anyone, even a paid political campaign worker, to collect and return ballots — “harvesting” them, in political slang.

Is there any developed country that allows someone other than public employees to handle ballots like this?
No. The shuttle boosters were expended every single launch. The Falcon 9 booster comes back and lands. Ironically, the Falcon 9 second stage is expended every single launch, but that will not be the case with Super Heavy / Starship that is in development.
> Its hard but not that hard

That depends on how you define "it." Media is not neutral. At least, we haven't yet had a neutral mass media. In 2020 that means defaults, recomendation engines & such. These are core to FB's product, business model. They're not neutral.

You need to take the scale FB's influence into account. Elections, revolutions, mass protests, primary political narratives... all determined on FB. What happens on Facebook can determine presidencies and prime ministerships. The have more power than Rupert Murdoch. At this scale you can't just "get out of the censorship business."

Youtube, for comparison, appears to be trying to get out of the harder problems by exiting the space entirely. On hard news issues, they're defaulting to (more than defaulting to) television news sources. I don't think they want politics on their platform anymore. It's too dangerous.

FB can't do that as easily, but I expect they'll try something similar.

Basically... social media will try to hand the problem back to traditional media somehow.
No experience here, but from the manpage:

-frandom-seed=string

This option provides a seed that GCC uses in place of random numbers in generating certain symbol names that have to be different in every compiled file. It is also used to place unique stamps in coverage data files and the object files that produce them. You can use the -frandom-seed option to produce reproducibly identical object files.

though my example/guess on branch prediction is probably wrong
You can do both. A local private-sector employer has a category of employee that is walked out generally within the hour of tending notice of their resignation. It's a standard protocol, everyone is aware, there are parameters but they are paid for the time they are out and most folks will start doing some basic KT ahead of time to avoid the void.

It's obviously a bit silly but this is where lessons from the past have landed the company.
Or we can stop building new stereotypes and using generalities in silly ways.
By this logic any great loss can be rationalized as the prelude to some even greater win.

At the moment the best we have are the current numbers. By that measure, Sweden looks terrible.

* Connecticut has a pretty complicated scheme depending on the vehicle's weight and age, as well as the road surface: https://www.cga.ct.gov/2009/rpt/2009-R-0205.htm

* Delaware has a subjective standard: "muffler in good working order and in accordance with manufacturer's specifications and in constant operation to prevent excessive or unusual noise."

There are, of course, laws about other sources of noise too. Ask any college kid.
>The correct answer to people being wrong is education, never censorship.

What do you do when people reject education itself as a matter of course or principle?

Or can only view such attempts defensively, see them as patronizing at best, and so radicalize further as a result?

Heck, even "this post is misleading" approaches, which leave the original content intact, are seen by some as a form of censorship (and definitely as propaganda to be discarded) and I don't think that's an unreasonable response based on their existing point of view.

Fundamentally, if misinformation is more appealing and attractive than truths, how far can educational approaches go? If it's information junk food, then I see education helping no more than it helps for the obesity crisis - perhaps less so because that unhealthiness actually feels bad and prompts action. There's no equivalent with disinfo.
All these "good" people pushing for censorship of a democratically elected president and social networks. Don't you see this is precisely what tyranny looks like?

It's not a coverup, they just don't care that much.
which seems to be the only country counting correctly (e.g. untested excess deaths in Covid proximity are included).

That's not a correct way to count and is one of the reasons why comparing "COVID deaths" between countries is meaningless.

It's not valid because:

1. It assumes COVID is the default cause of death even though it's known to be a very mild disease for virtually everyone (0.2% IFR and estimates keep falling, not 100%).

2. It assumes lockdowns don't kill anyone, but that's known to not be true for all kinds of reasons.

The problem with this kind of reasoning is it looks motivated. It's what leads to fiascos like the New York Times publishing a list of 1000 COVID deaths and the 5th person on the list turned out to be a homicide victim. It's how you get reports of a 19 year old dying of COVID and then it turns out he had leukemia. It's how you end up with COVID death counts going down by large amounts in various parts of the world, as we're seeing now, because cases get re-evaluated and discovered to be incorrectly attributed.

And all that ignores the problem of severe co-morbidities in the elderly, who often are claimed to have died of COVID even when they had major pre-existing problems and were about to die anyway.

These things destroy public confidence in disease statistics. The message that COVID death counts don't mean anything hasn't really got out yet but in time it will.

Regardless of better/worse, harder/softer, etc, I don't necessarily think that's immediately an indictment of Twitter to have POTUS say something outlandish and have nothing done, and have a bot account say the same thing and get banned. For all we know at noon on Jan. 20th Twitter will ban Trump's entire family.

This comment chain is mildly toxic and (ironically) proves that HN is similar to social media. Any political post seems to have the same divisiveness that traditional social media has.

That being said, HN does have logical and helpful technical discussion that does not resemble the kind of social media that people are talking about when they say "social media". The incidence of toxicity is much lower. That is why I believe HN is social media yet much healthier than, for example, facebook.

-10% means that the death rate is 10% less than normal. 90 people dead instead of 100. Not that 10 people are no longer dead.
