Right, my question was why doesn’t anything wear out in the usb-c female part of the connection. The answer apparently is that the usb-c cable holds the part of the connection that has moveable parts, whereas the lightning connector has the part that holds the cable in place in the device itself, so once that eventually wears out the cable has nothing to hold it in place.
A good number of the breweries in Seattle are turning out excellent lagers, pilsners, and sours.
I've also never had problems with any of my several well-used Amazon-branded Lightning cables. But then again, I've never actually had any problems with the supposedly fragile Apple Lightning cables either.

I went to MBCC in Copenhagen last year. Was going to go this year but... we'll see. One thing that made it interesting was that seemingly half of the brewries were American, which was really nice for us. We were able to focus on the stuff that the locals weren't as interested in, and vice versa.

Anyway, had a ton of great conversations with Europeans about this. We were sad that it's really tough to get Mikkeller around here, and they were like "I cannot believe you say that while you live near Jester King."
I agree that "It’s definitely a livable salary for a young person in a low cost of living area." is a laughable claim.

But, it is true that most Americans pay very little taxes.

> According to the Tax Foundation, the top 50% of taxpayers paid 96.96% of all federal income taxes in 2016, the last tax year for which comprehensive and vetted statistics are available from the Internal Revenue Service. This means that the bottom 50% paid just 3.04%. [1]

And yes, sales tax is "almost nothing". About 2-3% of an average American household's total income.

> With that in mind, the average American pays $10,489 in "personal taxes," representing 14% of the average household's total income. This includes federal and state income taxes, as well as other taxes such as personal property taxes, vehicle taxes, and certain other small taxes. $8,367 of this amount is federal income taxes, $2,046 is state and local taxes, and $75 is other small taxes.

There's no question that Facebook attempts to shape the media narrative. But there's no need for any careful journalistic exposés to show that. The fact that there's a corporate PR department is enough.

But Facebook is not just another company that's being objectively scrutinized by journalists who are acting in the public interest. Among other effects, Facebook threatens the practice of journalism itself, and much of the reporting is intended to craft that narrative. That's indicated at the bottom of the article:

> What Facebook has become is the press’s assignment editor, its distribution network, its great antagonist, devourer of its ad revenue, and, through corporate secrecy, a massive block to journalism’s core mission of democratic accountability.

The problem I have is with this claim that the press is a democratic institution that acts in the public interest. In reality, the press is owned by billionaires. Influential journalists and editors come from a particular class of society through elite universities. No mechanisms for democratic accountability exist and the public has no real input into the agenda or topics that are covered. At the same time, journalists maximize their own power by relentlessly promoting the idea that (at least nominally) democratic institutions like government and politics are always untrustworthy and corrupt.

It seems like it will also mess up item availability information. If an item has limited stock, bots adding it to carts could make it appear out of stock to real customers.

That's a lot more than other factory workers in Mexico and still more than some non-auto factory workers in the US. If the best factory workers in Mexico all go to the auto factories in droves, the factory base wage eventually goes up there. The competitive advantage for clothing, toys, and furniture factories there eventually diminishes.

If you can afford to pay above the rate for those, then go for it. If not, I don't see a reason why worrying about them.

That's like saying a company that primarily works on a smaller countrys' market, thus their revenue is much smaller, cannot afford to hire engineers from SF and that's hurting those engineers for some reason?

> I think there's a strong argument that RCV/Approval would shift the incentives and game-theoretic landscape away from polarization and turnout, and towards big-tent coalition building, to appeal to the greatest quantity of left, right, center, and independent.

I think most people wildly overestimate the popular appeal for compromise. Only about 20% of the population would support an opposite-side moderate over a near-side extremist. A true centrist party is doomed to lose in any system that knocks out unviable candidates, since it's the first choice of almost nobody.
You and I have a very different definition of "cool".
But those are compiled binaries, not source code.

I guarantee you the source code for Windows 95 is vastly larger than the 106 MB we're talking about for Rails.

And considering the ridiculously large number of things Rails does that Windows 95 didn't... the sheer number of different technologies, standards, formats and versions it's able to interface with... I don't see what's wrong at all.
I mentioned something about this yesterday in another thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23693298

Basically it isn't about having anything to hide but the instability of democracy and what power bad actors have.

Do I have anything to hide from Google? Not really. But do I want that same data that Google has to be in the hands of someone like Putin? No. I don't even want it in the hands of the NSA. The issue is that if we say that ads can manipulate people to buy things, why can't they manipulate people to do things like vote or divide. Russia's strategy since the Cold War has been to divide and prod The West, to sow disruption. That disruption has caused consolidation of power but also makes it difficult for coalitions to get things done.

It is clear that anger generates more clicks, so why is it unrealistic to think bad actors can use that data to better divide us and sow discontent?

The next factor is that democracy relies on a distribution of power. Data collection is a means to consolidate power. There's the term "turnkey tyranny" that's thrown around. The reason isn't because we think a tyrant is going to come to power and destroy our way of life, but rather that we recognize that such a thing is possible and want to ensure that such actions would be infeasible if a malicious actor gained power. In democracy power is distributed. This has pros and cons. But the point of distribution is so that consolidation is difficult and we can never have a monarch or tyrant.

So it has never been about having something to hide (which btw, do people know they are referencing Goebbels?), but about stability in democracy. Distribution of power that was inherent to the system in the past is no longer built in. Technology has changed and enabled things we never previously imagined.

I used to make $9 an hour and was not eligible for Medicaid. ACA exchange in Kentucky (Kynect) wanted well over $100 a month which was not affordable for me, but then again neither was the fee imposed by not having insurance. I paid around 30% of my wages in taxes, which I consider to be quite a lot more than nothing. I was able to live in a very cheap place (with room mates, of course), but not put anything away.
While true, that's compiled windows 95. The binary of actually-used js compiled to native code would be tiny.
What do you think of the argument that foreign imports are just another kind of technology, allowing us to produce things cheaper with less labor? Surely it wouldn't be helpful for us to ban industrial bread machines so that more Americans have jobs as bakers.

This is obviously (I believe it is obvious) related to COVID. But is this because of the general economic malaise, or because people are moving out enabled by remote work.

Let's look at other places. Non-tech places which still have good jobs in, say, energy and medicine, in a place like, say, Houston:

https://www.har.com/content/mls/?m=06&y=20

Average prices in May are down 7% to San francisco's 9%. It would seem the impact is very similar in very different cities.

This doesn't help us per se because the ability to telecommute may be as valuable in Houston as it is in San Francisco.

However, if you believe the kinds of industries in Houston -- medicine and energy -- are less able to be made remote (and I don't have evidence for this), we might suspect that most of the collapse in pricing is driven by job layoffs.
Lightning added chips that weren't necessary IMO. You don't need smart control over the low voltages/power that go over a lightning cable. Lightning chips were likely more about control.

USB-C _does_ require e-marked cables in certain cases where passing large amounts of power over a thin cable could be dangerous. I don't believe these chips are proprietary nor expensive - just marking silicon that replaced the old resistor system that was somewhat brittle and often wrong.
I understand and I agree.

Another thing you might try is hypnosis or autohypnosis. It works pretty well for that kind of thing. Besides, that would also allow the anesthesiologist to give you efficient painkillers and sedation that does not interact with sodium channels.

However, I think you would find the cumulative dose of 3.5 h of intermittent lignocaine injections surprisingly high. And let me assure you that they have absolutely no idea of your true lignocaine plasma level. The comparative peak with long-lasting drugs will likely be much lower.

All in all, I guess my main point is that if by chance you're doing that without an attending anesthesiologist you should try to ask for one and you might find it far more comfortable.

You probably already know this, but:

For Google (or anyone) to become a storefront for the entire web, they'd need to handle scams (and errors) well.

eBay is a cesspool. Aliexpress is worse. Random web sites are bad. Amazon isn't perfect, but it's better.

Amazon also has customer service; they've always made me whole. Random web sites, I'm basically SOL. Aliexpress and eBay are random. Someone flips a coin, heads seller wins, tails buyer wins, regardless of who the scammer is.

I mostly buy from Amazon since my odds of not having problems are that much higher.

> I've heard people say this, but i don't see why it would be true. Is there reasoning behind this, or does it just feel smart?

I recently got told by the VP of Engineering of the company I am now undergoing onboarding with, that if a senior programmer asks no questions about how the company['s teams] work and doesn't have any requirements, that to him sends the message they are desperate and don't know their value.

Other people told me that not asking anything means that the interviewee is not proactive.
Considering you are ascribing the worst possible motives to millions of people in a gross generalisation - it's a fair question to ask.

Black people default on loans more, adjusted for income, education status, etc. But we've decided it's socially un-okay to ask people if they're black and adjust how much we're willing to loan based on the answer.

But instead, we measure all kinds of ancillary things, many of which are highly correlated with being black and not obviously correlated to ability to repay, and dump them into a model, where we come up with weights that make basically the same decisions as if we'd asked if they were black. Is this is fundamentally better somehow?

Mind you, I don't have a wonderful answer as to what to do: it's important to accurately price credit risk. But it's also important for society to treat minorities equitably, especially when inequitable treatment might reinforce the very problems/reasons why some minorities are worse credit risks.

It might be better to explicitly have the "is African American?" question in the model, because then regulators, policymakers, the public could perhaps eventually know the exact contribution of this factor... while approaching it obliquely makes the effect far less clear.
Miracles happen, but faith is a prerequisite
It could be better than what we have now, assuming somewhat smart AI. Right now, data gives plausible deniability, and is the universal scapegoat - you get to do whatever you want, backing this up with misapplied A/B tests and telemetry, with zero statistical rigor. And if someone complains about your decisions, you point to these tests and that telemetry, and cry "we're a data driven company, and the data proves we're right".
What happened to San Francisco is that public transit is vastly degraded, and you can't use the bathroom at most private businesses, even if you buy something. Thus, you are leashed to the bathroom distance from your house. Thus, you must drive everywhere, which makes city living much much less attractive vs. being in the suburbs. Add to that that remote work is the norm now, and there seems to be a higher crime rate in the cities with all the rioting, and living in the suburbs makes a lot more sense.

Real estate is priced on the margin. So if 1% of the people don't come back, prices will probably fall more than that 1%.

Because the US now gets no new jobs but the price for the cars will go up as the labour cost increases, proving the very trivial point that tariffs function as a tax on domestic consumers. If the goal of the policy was to redistribute money from Japanese carmakers and American consumers to Mexican factory workers they've done a great job, very altruistic.

Also it's quite hilarious how quickly the reputation of the US has deterioated. The US is now being treated like an unreliable country.
