Way back in the early 2000s, I was involved in edm event promotion, and bottle service is a thing even for people who aren’t millionaires. It was pretty normal for like a group of 5 guys to drop $1000+ plus on a table reservation every once in a while and you do it for a few practical reasons that have nothing to do with glamour:

1) skip the line
2) Cover is included
3) regular drinks at the bar are expensive as shit anyway.
4) You have a place to sit down in a crowded club.
5) you have a server that comes to you instead of having to find a place at the bar.

A regular night at the club could easily be $150 a person if you count cover, drinks and buying drugs. What’s another $100 a person for a much better experience at that point. Keeping in mind that if you don’t have a table, you’re stuck down on a crowded dance floor for hours and hours and when you aren’t fighting at a bartender to notice you.
I never mentioned any party. I refuse to vote along party lines.
To give context to nailer's succinct answer: some of fitness technology covered by DCRainmaker [1] works well with iOS/Android apps like Garmin Connect or Fitbit. This covers both continuous trackers that do not have GPS as well as the very large ecosystem of BLE sensors for runners/bikers/hikers.

I also need/want a device capable of 911 emergency calls for both away-from-home and electricity/Internet-outage scenarios. I have a laptop and/or tablet and when I'm away from a WiFi hotspot I am almost always active or my hands are engaged.

I think the problem with most vegan dishes in the west is the lack of a cultural context. Unlike food conglomerates, cultures give an unbiased generational assessment of what it means to have flavor and health benefits e.g - vegan burger in america (processed as hell) < vegan dumplings (fresh leeks, vegetables, garlic). Also as a woman you do face low iron levels naturally and vegan diets affect how we menstruate.

It would also depend on what that member was doing. Since the military also falls under the UCMJ they held to a different standard. Sexual assault is obviously illegal for the person doing it but under the UCMJ if you know about or saw something happen and didn't report it you could also be held accountable.

While a lot of military members don't like the UCMJ I think it is pretty effective. It is more then a set of laws in that it regulates conduct on and off the battlefield.
I wrote a sizeable book with gitbook and I found it to have substantial design flaws. Once the book had a few hundred files the rendering became exceedingly slow.

It became clear to me that, internally some sort of scaling problem is present in the code that manifests itself abruptly once the book hits a certain size.

Rendering to html would take 2-3 minutes (attempting to reload the latest version of a single page also triggers a complete re-rendering of all pages, obviously making the process non-feasible).

I migrated to bookdown that renders the entire book in about 10 seconds (and reloads single pages quickly).

I wonder if honkit fixed those internal design errors that made gitbook unusuable for me.
Please don't editorialize titles, the article itself is interesting without it.
The word has a lot of history. Those with guns actually fear them being “taken” and wave an old american flag that says “come and take it” (meaning I will defend my rights). For Beto to say “Hell yes, we will take” is playing in the same rhetoric. He lives in TX and knows exactly what the word meant & so did his voters. Your argument is silly
Apple is the exception, as they don't rely on 3rd party OEMs.

It would be 100% like everyone else had Apple allowed for iOS based OEM devices.

Indeed, but that is only thanks to IBM's failure to close back the PC and only applies to desktop and server devices.

Even Microsoft isn't able to do much regarding laptops and Windows tablets, and was forced to start their own Surface line.

But yes, they still do much better than Google, because Google just doesn't care.

Project Trent would have been the opportunity to change contracts for accessing Google services, and they just kept everything regarding OEMs as before.

The proof that they don't really care is the support for their own Pixel devices.

However as mentioned before, not everyone on this planet can afford to be an Apple customer and OS updates aren't certainly on their daily worries.

I applaud the change to a 16:10 screen (the ratio used in all Apple laptops and sadly few others for years). The extra vertical space for the same area is very welcome; 16:9 feels very cramped at laptop sizes once you add a few menu bars and headers and banners. I hope more laptop manufacturers decide to go this direction.
So the US finally standardises on a single international standard for distance, and they standardise on feet?

This while confusion over different types of feet is the entire reason why the metric system caught on like a wildfire. Before the metric system, every city used to have its own foot. Most, not all, were 12 inches, but they also all had their own inch.
Agreed. There's not much that will bake freshly learned theory into your brain more than realising just how far it could have taken you in hindsight. Over time, this starts to develop into foresight.

Well, “nothing to do with glamour” except insofar as the entire club scene is built on signaling glamour (status, more specifically).

The whole ecosystem persists all the way down to average folks going for a night on the town and hoping to chat up a few women (who are not paid/promoted models, but have ultimately similar motives). The superficiality permeates downwards too.

In my experience, the “hotter” the club, the less people dance or mingle, the more they signal.

Edit: I’ll draw a somewhat bright line between clubs who offer bottle service/VIP (in my view inevitably ending up like the above^, even if it makes practical sense) and those clubs which do not. It seems to me the bulk of the money moving would be occurring in the former.

I think it is perfectly fine when it works for you. Also advice for programmer is different then one for newbie.

One big issue with "just do something" is that people are unable to come up with suitable "something". So they don't even start. Building "something" is motivating for some people, but definitely not for all or majority.

Also, people who never coded are pretty much guaranteed to drown in own mess if they attempt to do "something". They will end up with tangled spaghetti they will be unable to make work and they will not know what their issue is.
It’s not testing. Cmon.
Neither would I want to do that on a phone the size of the Palm. The entire idea of this phone was initially to be a companion phone just for simple things.

Email isn’t really used that often anymore for personal, immediate communications. If someone is emailing you, culturally it’s really not considered urgent.

Read articles on the go? Sure you can read news snippets on the Watch using the News app, but if she is leaving her phone behind, it’s specifically in a context where she doesn’t want to be distracted but does want to be able to communicate with people.

I have an Apple Watch just because, but I really don’t get that much usefulness out of it. I work from home now. I haven’t gone inside a gym in years where the idea of having a phone with me all of the time was irritating - I have a fully equipped workout room at home. Besides, women often wear clothes without pockets. Men usually don’t - except maybe at the gym or while running.

As far as texts. Siri’s voice recognition works surprisingly well for responding to them.
> If it is shipping with Android 8 - an old version of Android

Blame Qualcomm. If you’re a OEM with comparatively low volumes there is very little leverage you have to get your SOC vendor to give you the latest updates. When I worked on Android HW, Qualcomm were basically a year behind whatever the latest Android was, because our volume was so small we weren’t a priority.

Anecdotally I'm the opposite. I personally know dozens of meat eaters who have had major health problems because of their diet.

A varied diet is often promoted because it gives you the most chance of getting the nutrients your body needs, but it fails abysmally when it comes to excluding things your body doesn't need.

If you also start to consider the environmental impact and animal abuse that comes from 'just eat everything', then it becomes very compelling to put a small amount of effort into reducing meat/dairy consumption and aiming towards a whole food plant based lifestyle. Small steps aren't difficult for most people.

man that's why I regret every time opening HN or any other news website/aggregator.
I am pretty sure this is not correct. Every reordering effect I'm aware of is a core-local effect. That is, it happens in the core before (or at the moment) the data hits the L1D. It does not occur due to a weaker cache coherence system.

Having a cache coherence system which was itself weaker, allowing reorderings consistent with the memory model, makes barriers and "implicit barriers" like address dependencies very expensive, and there is little evidence this is the case.

Even in a hypothetical core which had a cache coherency system coupled to the memeory model, you aren't really avoiding any coherence traffic, just allowing certain reorderings such as satisfying requests out of order.
At this point, waiting for the mobile Ryzens to appear across the laptop ranges seems like a good idea. They've crammed 8 cores instead of 4 into the same TDP and made laptop chips that are in the same ballpark as the dekstop counterparts:

The graphics should also be better than the Intel ones.

So far the only interesting laptop I've seen is the Lenovo T14s which is their lower-end ultrabook from the X1 Carbon. Frustratingly they've limited it to 1080p screens in the AMD version when the Intel version includes a great 4K option:

> I also agree with grumple that you are truly insufferable.

Go for it!

I get paid well to do quality work by employers who appreciate the value of that. Why would I care about whether someone who is content with mediocrity finds that insufferable?

My message goes out to those who want to do quality work, who maybe aren't there quite yet, and are keeping their minds open: don't give up. Every little bit helps. Every career transition you make to a firm that has a little bit of a higher bar than the one before is a difference to be proud of, and one day, you eventually arrive at one that's fairly close to the top. Be patient, keep improving, and don't give up! You can do it!

> I really don't think there's a generally applicable moral framework that doesn't require veganism.

You know, it is one thing to say that you believe it is best, and argue for it vigorously. But if you are unable to imagine someone else holding a differing view in an intellectually and morally self-consistent manner, that says a lot more about your thought patterns than it does about the intrinsic validity of a cause.
Good to see this because it means demand for new Linux laptops is still here (or even growing) but why wouldn’t someone go for a System76 laptop instead that comes with custom, FOSS firmware too?
>They throttle phones with old batteries that cannot provide enough current.

Stop gaslighting. They were forced to admit to doing so, after enough people made a stink about it for a very long time. And iphone batteries are not user servicable.
Models get that wherever they go frankly.
But doesn't JWT sometime force people to use it in an insecure way because of how it is designed?

In a JavaScript browser app without backend server it is impossible to use it safe. The token must be visible to JavaScript which is unsafe by default.

You also need to store both the token and refresh token in your app which makes the refresh safety feature useless.

I still don't get JWT. It solves requesting an auth server all the time but when the token is stolen it can be used until it expires. This can be solved by setting the expiration very low but then the auth server is still requested all the time.
Again, this is a solved problem with Windows - Microsoft writes drivers for popular hardware. Like I said below - Windows 7 supported my 2006 Mac Mini hardware - USB, FireWire, gigabit Ethernet, and it even recognized the IR sensor for the remote. I couldn’t find a way to use it.

If you as a PC OEM, no matter how small, if you used popular components, Windows would support it.
These sound like servers used by researchers. I've worked with higher education research computing and you might be surprised at what you would find.

Researchers may be generating or churning through countless TB of intermediary data, scratch files, etc. Often, the people who actually run the it infrastructure for researchers are... grad students. Sometimes they have grants for hardware and tight budgets, and paying anything for backups isn't part of it. Sometimes, if you're lucky, the it department will be aware of the work and allowed to help.

Now maybe that's not the case here, and there really is one department responsible, and that department decided against spending money on backups. Well maybe they were told by the provost or the dean of whoever that they couldn't afford to back up everything, so they should just stick to file servers. Maybe the boxes compromised here are compute only, and all code and valuable artifacts are expected to be stored safely somewhere else. And maybe the researchers heard this and understood it when they agreed to use the system. But maybe the new grad student didn't get the memo and developed his model in vim on the compute node.

The point is, academic computing is kind of the wild west. Weird fiefdoms and weird restrictions, budgetary and otherwise. It's tough to guess which of these scenarios played out from the outside and we really can't know whether the CISO or CTO, or even anybody working for them, dropped the ball.

The point is, if every one of those deaths were someone who presented a credible threat and were actually trying to kill an officer, why do so little of them succeed? If anything, they have the element of surprise on their side. Police are often only given little ammunition and training time every year, literally just a couple boxes of ammunition. Anyone just casually going to a gun range every couple of months for fun is going to have more experience than most law enforcement officers.

If they were only killing every criminal that actually attempted to kill them and had the means to, there's no chance the defenders in that situation are coming out successful 20 to 1.
I have downvoted and flagged this comment. I will reiterate several of our guidelines from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

Be kind. Don't be snarky. Have curious conversation; don't cross-examine. Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive.

When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names. "That is idiotic; 1 + 1 is 2, not 3" can be shortened to "1 + 1 is 2, not 3."

Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith.

Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something.

> My wife and I are competing our annual reviews of each other. One of the challenges I’m facing this year is we didn’t agree on OKRs and I have a lot of qualitative feedback but don’t like how the KPIs look. I’m worried her annual review of me will be similar. We both aligned that we’d max out 401ks, move for promotions and end a car lease. But her career moved faster and we don’t have joint accounts so I failed to enter a savings goal. I’m going to suggest she didn’t save enough to see if I can get insight. Also the household itself did well this year we deceased our order in rate by 15% while moving to a good mix of organics and non frozen items +20%.
