I'm not where I'd like to be, but I also am hopeful I'm on the way.

I was buried in "I'm the victim" mindset for most of the past 4 months. Most opportunities were squandered because of fixed solution mindset (ie, I cant work out because the gym is closed). In taking ownership of the situation (instead of leaving it in Gavin Newsom's power hungry hands), I have been able to begin moving forward utilising what is available to me.

Whereas I previously was skipping workouts because I was fixed on how to do that, was medicating the pain/confusion of how to pivot with video games and junk food, was not taking ownership of the situation. Now I am taking ownership of what value can still be derived, ensuring I am doing the work required of where I want to be.

Short time means 10-20 years, plenty of time for me to sort things out for myself.
If you haven't done so already, you REALLY should look into setting up an LLC for contract work in the US. Legally separating your business assets from your personal assets is very important. It doesn't cost a ton -- varies by state and whether you involve a lawyer or not. It will make your taxes a bit more complicated, but consider that the cost of insurance against somebody trying to sue you and take your house.
We used to survive without plastic just fine (milk in glass bottles, paper bags etc)

Don't see why we can't just go back to that.
The 4-finger swipe is responsible for a huge number of family tech support calls. "Dad, all my windows are gone again!". Pretty much a constant theme.
Corruption is a provable violation of ethics which is measurable.

In so many of these police related threads on HN lately people make absurd claims and then are upset when asked about data or objectivity, which suggests people are looking to complain about something and don’t want their complaint validated with data, which is strange.
The bond would serve two purposes.

The first purpose is to pay for background checks and any costs that the immigrant might incur in the USA. (For example it would pay for deportation if the immigrant broke the law.)

The second is to serve as proof that the immigrant is enough in demand that the government should believe we get a net positive from their admission to the USA. And not exactly onerous proof - it is only a fraction of what has to be paid in salary and benefits.

Also note that this is only a partially baked proposal. I am sure that there are much better options than this, just as this is would be likely to work better than the current H1B program does.
When I was a new grad, I interviewed at Qualcomm for an embedded software job. I studied hardware, and was very up-front with the hiring manager in the phone screen, and he responded “not to worry about it”. I was flown out to do an on-site interview, and the first thing that struck me, sitting in the lobby for 20 minutes while my first interviewer arrived, was that 100% of the employees who walked through the front door were Indian. The interviewers were all Indian (except HR, who was white) and several of them mentioned they were H1B’s. Anyway, I apparently failed the interview, mostly theoretical CS, so horribly that they cut the day short and dismissed me after lunch.

I wonder sometimes if the hiring manager was incompetent or was just using me as justification that no Americans could do the job
Also worth mentioning- the government spends 2.3 trillion on healthcare and welfare, 90 billion is not a lot of money in this context.
I've had bosses who loved hearing bad news. And bosses who were great about bad news as long as they were the first to hear about it.

Nobody likes to get called out in a meeting about a problem they are responsible for but know nothing about. That's probably the weakness thing again.
I think the popular concern is that this problem is only going to get worse as more and more plastics are produced and old plastics continue to degrade into tinier pieces of plastic. It’s particularly worrying because we’ve found pieces of plastic in extremely locations, so containment is out of the question.
Broadly no, because the barrier to entry for being a web developer is low, though there may be some subtlety depending on the exact actions the group takes. A high barrier to entry business would more easily face allegations of anti-trust and collision, eg all of the car dealerships in an area working together to keep prices high and keep competition out,
but that's different due to how hard much more expensive it is to become a car dealership.
> Public education has plenty of funding; maybe enable parents to choose where their kids go so failing schools and teachers can be shutdown and fired.

That will make things worse, not better. School inequity right now stems almost entirely from the practice of funding schools with property taxes, leading to schools in wealthier districts getting good budgets and schools in low-income areas getting shoestring budgets. The distribution of funding needs to be made equitable before you start shutting down schools and firing people.
I wonder what happens if we push 30 billion into pure non-physics math.
My first thought after reading through to the end was also "After making such a deal about number legibility, that O looks a lot like that 0."
Calling them dangerous and a pox on society seems in the same ballpark of moral outrage as calling someone racist.
> Visa applicants are tied to their employer

In the US, basically everything is tied to employer: healthcare, retirement (though at least with 401ks they now float from employer to employer), etc.

I think this is primarily because there is now so much money in politics that only large corporations (or the rich in charge of same) have enough to participate in the political system.

Sure if you set up your sponsor tiers like "$5/mo: x minutes of bugfixing for you" then it would be just sales. I think if you just accept money and say "thanks" in return with a vague promise of working on open source, that's a pretty grey area and I'd rather not have to explain it to the authorities in the first place. :P

I mean, I'm not sure the world needs more font faces when the existing set of many many options seems to do a pretty good job for all purposes (who ever thinks, "boy this job would be much easier with a font more appropriately suited to the task, but alas, no such font exists"?)

However, I did really enjoy the introduction slides, some great design work there for sure.

I 'snooze' them for later in the day/evening when I have more time to read them.

The other things I realized is that I should treat it like a magazine rather than a newsletter and read only the 'articles' that I'm interested in. I don't have to read the entire thing.
The "book" you download from this website is not an epub. You must use their apps to read it.
In some cases, Amazon uses e.g. subsidied wind energy for new data centers. However, this means the renewable energy is not going to neighboring homes, which are instead still using non-renewables.
The point is more that we can do experiments where we expect to observe interesting things or experiments to validate existing theories. If you have an experiment to validate an existing theory, it doesn't really make sense to repeat the experiment on a much large scale unless you anticipate actually being part of the first category (new observation, no theory).

The problem with colliders is that the next energy thresholds where we expect to observe unexplained phenomena are a couple orders of magnitude greater than the proposed collider. So we could really only confirm existing theories unless something major is hiding in the energy gap. This seems unlikely.

Critics want to put the money towards avenues where we're likely to observe new things instead of confirming validated theories.
> calling yourself "communist" or even just agitating for democratic control over means of production is enough to be "canceled" in the sense that most large employers will be wary to higher you and our mainstream media will lump you in with Stalin.

calling yourself 'nazi' will have the same consequences, so I don't see what is the problem here, communism is every step as bad as nazism (source: born in USSR)
You can make a lossless webp from a png. I use this on my site, and it consistently results in smaller images than what I get from png.
Yes it's a numbers game. Apply for as much job as possible and ask for a minimum of $200k base. With a little bit of back and forth you can settle for $180k and then get a lot of equity.
Success is more random than we'd like to believe

Perhaps, but I think a lot of people tend to say that, then conclude that they should just wait around for luck (not saying you're doing this, though).

Another approach is to do everything you can (podcast appearances, for example!) to increase your "luck surface area".

Black on black crime should be really labeled poor on poor crime. Also there is something unqiue about the US experience, black people in the UK commit crime at a much lower rate than white people in the US.

Such as thunderbird, icedove, mutt, gnus, mew, outlook, outlook express, etc?
I think they meant reasonable alternative.

American cities are not (for the most part) bikeable and certainly not walkable. Literally everything is designed to be driven to in a car.

The decent public transport would help, but since it's been made a political issue it's not exactly as easy as just working within the constraints of the system.
What ethics? And how can you prove anything if cops always defend their own?

In an ideal world where we have an oracle telling us which cops are good and which are bad your comment makes sense. But the nature of corruption is to obfuscate its dealings. You can't just say "well we need independent oversight" then because there are so many institutional pivot points where cops can hide their abhorrent behavior before it gets to see the light of day.

Tips to Write Better RSpec
I completely agree, but the point still stands that insinuating corruption is a straw man when it’s not based on anything.
I recall working at a place which was transitioning from CFEngine to Puppet. None of the fancy "promise theory" was used; sysadmins did whatever was necessary to get things configured, and that was it. As a result, Puppet was a breath of fresh air because, while it was no more intelligent about describing machines, it was certainly more direct about changing them.

To me, CFEngine has been behind the pack for a long time. I use Nix now, and right now in order to be ahead of the pack, a configuration manager needs not just declarative configuration, but atomic upgrades and rollbacks, dry-run builds and upgrades, service isolation, and service discovery or meshing.

> I think protestors should be able to be armed with whatever police are.

That's insane. A fundamental tenet of (US) law is that using a weapon while committing a crime is itself a crime.

We're not at war. There are a lot of people breaking the law, and we need to reduce that with as little harm as possible.
What is the reason for extremely large font size trends, especially ticking up after 2015?

Huge typography is obnoxious, from marketing philosophy standpoint - it screams insecurity. From a technical standpoint, it is inappropriate for the screen size. Yet designers today love choosing HUGE typography to be bold and daring. From Dropbox to IBM, from GS to Apple - this whole trendy huge font thing bothers me.

I understand that they're using huge font sizes to show off to the world their new typeface. Make no mistake, it will be used in huge sizes as it is the current trend - a cool thing to do as a designer is to employ massive bold typography today.
> I don’t see this distinction in the big city where I live and each of my neighbors are black.

Not to put too fine a point on it and with all due respect, but are you black? Have you asked your black neighbors about it?

I am half-black and was raised in California. I have lived in SF for the last 10 years.

While I have not directly been troubled by police in SF, I put myself on notice every. Single. Time. I go outside.
Certain ones do, sure. But not all, or even most. The vast majority of countries do not produce fossil fuels, so they all have an interest in reducing dependence on oil.

I know nothing about the GCF or the geography of Korea, but ~2 hours from Seoul doesn't really seem like the "arse-end of nowhere"?

You could be forgiven for mistaking this for just about anything Erik Spiekermann has designed. I find this style of squashed humanist sans-serif to be so uninteresting. You’d think there would be more variation in character to be found in that space, but something about making a condensed sans-serif in this style makes everything look... cautious and indistinguishable.

Fitting for an organization like Goldman Sachs, I suppose.
Is the salary public or also the stock options?
I still get to work on customers whose process is to compile on the IDE and manually copy a zip file into whatever environment they need to deploy.

Companies whose main business is not selling software don't care much about whatever are best practices in software engineering.
I don't know how you really measure that though.

I am white and I have never once had a "good" interaction with a cop. Quite the opposite.

Actually, I am pretty sure there is a massive difference in experience with cops if you are a white woman vs a white man.
At least in the US, this is why it's not uncommon for certain demonstrations to be full of people who are armed, openly. It's much less likely that the police will open fire on a crowd that is at least equally, if not more, heavily armed. Though, this requires a certain critical mass among the demonstrators to be successful. I believe I see this more commonly with conservative demonstrations as the overlap of conservative values and gun ownership is somewhat high.

It's the demonstration equivalent of mutually assured destruction, whether one agrees with it or not.
Unless you're getting all of your Amazon stuff in a single box in the weekly option, it's not really better. Driving 3 miles once a week to get everything from a store is better than 7 boxes a week + delivery increased truck load.

I'm mainly just worried about how this will affect my development environment and ability to compile linux libraries and things like homebrew apps on the command line.

I can only imagine that changing the CPU architecture will mean pretty much every tool I use is going to break and have to be fixed (or abandoned) by random open source developers slowly over the coming years.

Or am I wrong? Will this all be seamless?
Seeing as how multi-touch generally works (at the display server level in Wayland) - I think a backoort to xorg makes sense - it aligns incentives for maintainers to test and improve support in toolkits and applications.
Ending My Relationship with Cards Against Humanity and Max Temkin
Font licenses are expensive. It's far cheaper to take something like Helvetica, and make slight changes to each of the glyphs, and rebrand it.

For context, I used to work on Google Fonts.
Well, now this 'controversial' author has been silenced; given that it reduced the number of places with better writing than the NYT, I would bet it will be permanent. Is that what you wanted?
It's totally irrelevant. Most white people are killed by white people too. It's an effect of de facto segregation in society. Most crime is proximate.
Ah The Goldman Sack. Reminded me of this for whatever reason:

Apple has contractors as second-class employees, same as the rest of the valley.
Considering we're not allowed to see officer disciplinary records, even though they work for us (the taxpayer), it's impossible to get the data you want.
Even if you chose to argue statistical frames, as I'm seeing so much in this thread, you're not factoring the ripple effects that must surely be caused by the knowledge that official agents of power view you and your family as inherently, or very potentially inherently, dangerous. It doesn't take a critical mass of groundless violence (even if that mass does indeed exist)-- but just some of it, left unaccounted (or even defended) by those same official agents. Such a message is bound to resonate broadly and cause what should be a comprehensible outcry from, for example, the mother quoted in this article. I'm saying that you might consider the nonchalant (at best) response to such violent incidents.

This policy change will have a far-reaching impact on immigrants' lives, but it will also have an impact on the lives of non-immigrants. In light of that, you cannot reasonably argue that non-immigrants (or immigrant citizens) should be silent about H1Bs.

Moreover, an individual can collaborate constructively with immigrant coworkers on a personal level, while also advocating politically for a more restrictive immigration system.

There is nothing unethical about that. The role of government is to protect the natural rights and interests of its own constituents.
> Why would that surprise you, given the comment?

Because people choose the least shitty solution for themselves whenever they can. So it doesn't make sense to torment yourself with an OS you don't like or cannot utilise to the extent that you'd like.
I don't know if it would help you to hear this from a stranger, but try to calm down and clear your mind through meditation. Before going to sleep, set clearly achievable goals for the next day. Wake up early, meditate, work out. Obtaining a lucid state of mind is the best thing you can do for yourself right now. If it helps, go somewhere you normally wouldn't go where you can be very in-the-moment for a time, to snap you out of your current environment and allow you to reset.

If you assume the outcome of your thesis is a foregone conclusion, this can enable you to work without hesitation. Many fighting chances have been born during last-minute, no-hope efforts, and if yours doesn't come along, treat that as a bridge to cross when you get there.

I know, easy to say when everything feels like it's doomed. I took a shot at building a MVP for a product to start a company with and failed because I spent over half the time messing around, working on what wasn't important.

Six months in, running out of time and money, I started these habits even though I thought to myself that it would be too late for them to matter. I became very productive especially towards the end as a result, and I could keep to my new routine since I figured "at least I'll be getting something out of the whole ordeal".

At the same time, I felt like the situation was beyond salvaging, and the product indeed never saw the light of day. The silver lining is that the habits I picked up when I set myself straight, both professionally and personally, have been immensely useful in the years that followed.

Give it your best. I hope things work out for you.
The biggest incentive for fossil fuel generated electricity is 0.06-0.10 cents per Kwh fossil fuel generated electricity. Electricity is cheap.

There's two ways to make a renewables economy, it's not complicated. The quick way, 200% tax on all fossil fuel generated electricity. The slow way, wait for technology to evolve that renewables become cheaper than fossil fuel. Government could help companies and utilities transition.
I don't see why anyone would pay more than $10/mo for a non-Gmail email service. But I'm also a grumpy weirdo who prefers to use plain-text email wherever possible, so all these "Gmail-killers" don't really offer what I want.
Cards Against Humanity Statement
I agree with you. It's worth noting 0 emissions is impossible so things carbon offsets exist to counter that when you cant get to 0.

Another way to look at it might be that investing in those companies by yield solutions to them that address what you mentioned above.

That's my hope at least.
Unfortunately you still get the [flag] abuse. It seems that some members are able to flag posts and you can often find if you say something disagreeable in a thread that every single one of your comments will get flagged regardless of the content of the comment in question. The comments can be well-written, non-confrontational and be a genuine attempt to start a discussion, but they'll get flagged because someone doesn't like what you wrote but (presumably) can't form an argument against it (like Paul Graham said, people only really hate things that could be true).

Delivery trucks: 100,000 trucks at $70k each = $7 billion investment over 5 years. [1]

Datacenters: 80% renewable energy by 2024, 100% by 2030 [2]

For boxes, I'd agree that there's a lot of room for improvement in reduction in cardboard use and packaging reuse.

Everyone should come to their own conclusions about whether companies are doing enough in each area. For delivery trucks in particular I'd call the investments happening there much more than "spare change".

I honestly think that platforms like Github and Patreon is the future of universal basic income. I think as labor becomes deprecated due to globalization and automation, more and more people are going to quit their jobs and pursue more creative and meaningful endeavors.

Obviously in the beginning, power law will take into effect where a few people will have enough income to thrive in these platforms. I do think that these platforms will eventually have more features like pooled donation, say you could donate to a collective of creators that you care about, will lead to significant portion of the economy to more meaningful work.
