Do you find the following inaccurate or biased, and if so, for the uninformed, briefly why?

"Campaigns initiated in his lifetime include those against the Qara Khitai, Khwarezmia, and the Western Xia and Jin dynasties, and raids into Medieval Georgia, the Kievan Rus', and Volga Bulgaria. These campaigns were often accompanied by large-scale massacres of the civilian populations, especially in the Khwarazmian- and Western Xia–controlled lands. Because of this brutality, which left millions dead, he is considered by many to have been a brutal ruler"
It's all about desired rate of return. Demanding short forces companies to leverage externalities like causing pollution to make money.

Long term returns motivates you not to destroy the planet to achieve the goal.

Really Long term returns hinge on the fact that converting the asteroid belt O'Neill cylinders is the future of mankind and destroying the planet to get there is fine as long as you get enough people off this rock first.
That's assuming corporations are too dumb to figure out how to get their other costs counted as part of the $16/hour.

For example, one of the major costs in the US is employer-subsidized health insurance, and employers subsidize it because it's tax advantaged. If they instead paid the employees more only to have the employees use the money to buy health insurance, the employees would pay more taxes. But they could still do it -- pay more and then offer a health plan with no employer subsidy. And then they're paying you "$16/hour" even though you lose half of it to health insurance premiums (and then even more to tax).

And if that got people asking why they pay tax on their health insurance when they buy it themselves, or why health insurance costs so much in the US, all the better.
Much of the evidence we're seeing has absolutely nothing to do with "getting hurt as part of their job". At the most extreme, there are cases of bean bags and rubber bullets fired at people filming the police from inside their own homes though closed windows.
Yeah sorta, its amazing how bad the QA is even on expensive motorhomes. If you are used to buying a reliable modern car you will be in for a shock when purchasing even a high end RV when it comes to the quality and integration.
Ask HN: Gifts for Thesis Advisor?
I just completed my master's thesis and would like to give a gift to thank my professor for her guidance and help. She is a very nice but is also very dedicated to her work. As a result, I know nothing about her personally despite having done research under her for 2 years. The only thing I could think of was a framed image of our campus, as she is new to my university. All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
So what do you do for those that end up on the wrong side of the equation, especially those who have been there for a long time?

Reality either exists or not. It has no states. Hence can not be distorted.
CanMOVE Chess Game
This can move function checks if your piece(comprised of two coordinates on the board created from a class called spot) is on the board(8 by 8 matrix), intended landing spot/area is unoccupied and if it is occupied then it must be by the opposing color.

Below is the spot class I have created.

In the case of the salaried employee, you're earning as a direct result of you doing productive work. You can argue that the pay is too high, the but the fact you have to put in work to earn it means it is at least not parasitic.

In the case of a landowner, they need to put in no such work. They didn't create the land. All of the rent comes from the fact that they have a monopoly on a scarce good that cannot be produced further, and one that everyone needs. See Adam Smith [0] and David Ricardo analysis on rent for more on this (the Ricardo's law of rent is a really neat concept).

Now the fact that land and buildings are rented together complicates this a little bit, but this definitively applies to the rent that comes from the land.

Simply claiming two actions are equivalent because they both lead to lots of money is not a useful mental model. How you earn your money matters.

[0] - "The rent of land, therefore, considered as the price paid for the use of the land, is naturally a monopoly price. It is not at all proportioned to what the landlord may have laid out upon the improvement of the land, or to what he can afford to take; but to what the farmer can afford to give." — Wealth of Nations, Book I, Chapter XI
Not the GP, but probably the "complicated" part is that the Moldovan prosecutors would not be able to shut down an illegal factory in Transnistria, which is de facto independent. The fact that the workers were from Transnistria probably provided them some type of immunity for a while. It's quite unlikely that the factory and the operation itself was really unknown. It's more likely that for political reasons, the authorities needed to turn a blind eye to it. What exactly changed now, who knows? It's complicated ...

We recently renegotiated our rent for a 2br apartment in SF about 7% down after having begun our lease in March. Used a 2 prong tactic of mentioning some frustrations that we've had thus far as well as offering to extend our lease. We didn't have much leverage, but offering something in exchange for the rent reduction was probably what convinced them.

That's all the more reason why the higher deductible isn't inherently a bad thing, even most of the basic needs are covered. Outside of that, it's just catastrophic coverage, just like car insurance.
How is it bloat if 160MB of JavaScript will never be in the production version of the app?

I mean, the Basecamp team just published Hey.com with less the 50KB of JavaScript and their dev build of Rails for that project must've exceeded 160MB in `node_modules`.

Except there ARE two sides. Capital controlled means of production, and worker owned means of production. These two systems are diametrically opposed to each other. This just comes across as enlightened centrism. I am vehemently opposed to the economic system of capitalism, and I think that it stands in opposition to the very concept of democracy. How am I supposed to see the capitalist as "the same side"?
Thanks for that. I've been eyeing the FriendlyArm boards for a while. I've already got a NanoPi Neo2 (and a spare) because I wanted to run WLAN Pi[1 2].

Good to hear that the M4V2 lives up to its billing.

I also have a few Orange Pis. For me the sweet spot for them is in low power ethernet connected: the Orange Pi One. Maybe as a GPS-based NTP server, or some such.

> Terribly disconnected comment

My comment comes from direct first-hand experience earning only slightly more than that in a high-cost-of-living area with no roommates (albeit 8-ish years ago).

EDIT: and also comes from having been unemployed twice and living on unemployment, which - again - only paid slightly more than that (in the same highish-cost-of-living area).
To be more realistic, Flash was a much smaller attack surface than downloading and running random executables. I'm guessing that a fairly small number of kids were actually subject to Flash exploits while playing games on Kongregate. Compare that to downloading a screensaver...
What kind of emails does the bot use?
I remember joining there when they announced they would have medals (Xbox 360 achievements had just become a thing, and were big). Played a lot of great games and had some fun chatting, too! But the one I maybe think of the most is Desktop Tower Defense (1.5, maybe?), as it was all the rage when I joined. Christ, that was 13 years ago! Gonna have to revisit that soon, I suppose...
I never said no one wants them; I was very careful to say that I considered it a dark pattern, not that it was a certain dark pattern.

Also, I don't think any amount of statistics is going to be able to show you if people truly want emails or ads... just because they increase sales doesn't mean people want them. Ads can be both effective and unwanted.
Agreed. Honestly, I try to not think too hard about all the people who've been killed, punished. It quickly takes me to a very dark place.

Back when I was working on election integrity I fully expected to be arrested, end up in jail and then prison. Maybe a dozen activists before me (nationwide) got pretty roughed up for telling the truth.
I can't help but wonder: Who, exactly, wants to buy helicopters from such fly-by-night operators?

For there must be demand. Otherwise all the planning, capital raising, investment, hiring, construction, accounting, etc. necessary for starting and operating this bootleg helicopter factory would have never been done in the fist place.

Who would want to buy bootleg helicopters? Is it developing countries seeking to save a bit of money by buying them in the black market? Or two-bit dictators who cannot buy helicopters through more, ahem, official channels due to trading sanctions? Assorted unsavory characters from the criminal underworld? Self-made entrepreneurs who want to get a good deal on a "genuine-looking" Soviet helicopter?

Surreal.
The full headline is

Absolutely. If you're not using your truck for truck stuff at least twice a month, it doesn't make sense.

And unless you're using it more frequently than that, only a fuel efficient medium / small one makes sense.

(Possible exception: infrequent long-haul towing for extended trips)
You are probably right, though I know I never had a full pint and don't recall seeing others with them when I was there.
Personally, I like the name. It makes it memorable, funny, and also conveys the meaning.
that was my thought, they could be just buying through another company.
That's hilarious. That wasn't even a livable wage in 2003. Maybe if you live in the ghetto, where the job is unlikely to be. What a bunch of bullshit.
I would love to understand how the whole thing works actually and how it can be configured/updated. Surely this approach can be adapted to smaller robots? It's more of a curiosity question since I love to tinker with robots and am looking for a good way to make them better. Apart from didactic purposes I don't have a really specific use case yet. :)

What you're saying is complete nonsense.

Actually - I can't find where the 120M figure was obtained from. Does anyone else know where that number in the title came from?
>16$ an hour is less than what they pay in Canada.

It's the equivalent of 16. USD. So around 22. CAD?

I agree, nothing is moving to Canada (comment was more aimed at Mexico)I guess since you work for a supplier you heard of FORD probably closing down their Oakville Assembly plant since they are not assigning any vehicle production to that plant after they stop making the Edge and the Lincoln equivalent.

Saying something landed safely when it actually crashed goes beyond mere puffery.
I’ve worked with rPis, Beaglebones, that NTc Linux board, and nanoPis. As somebody who is not a Linux Guru, the RPi is extremely nice because I can google anything I want to do or any error I get + raspberry pi and get a decent jumping off point. The other boards just don’t have the sheer volume of “stupid Linux-ignorant questions” that the rPi does.

The other nice thing is the massive community means that software gets tailored to the Pi’s capabilities - things like octoPi have been invaluable to me. Sure, I could assemble the same thing myself, but having somebody else do the heavy lifting is really nice.

The final nice thing is that rPis are easy to buy. With other boards I have to pay for shipping from the states or wait for shipping from China. With the rPi, I have one distributor that’s local to me, and a second where shipping is pretty cheap.

That everyone needs to keep working to keep the economy going isn’t some law of physics. If the people producing agree to keep producing everyone can get what they need. Atleast in theory.
For a loose definition of “idea”, find the minimal viable dose of fasting. We’re sure fasting is good for humans but we’re not sure what the sweet spot is. 16 hours every day? 3 days every month? 1 week every year?

It’s difficult to convince someone to fund something that can’t be sold. How do you profit by seeking fasting?
I think this misses the point. When people say "nothing to hide" they mean nothing to hide _from Law Enforcement_.

I think the only counter argument is to demonstrate how close many of our western democracies are to becoming fascist dictatorships.

We need privacy because if ever laws are passed that we don't agree with, we need to be able to break them until we can have the law changed.

For example, if it was against the law to be a pro-democracy protestor.
I think some of this will be in the form of 1 or 2 months free, but it should also be noted that Laurel Heights and Marina are somewhat suburban, so to the extent people are moving away from the densest inner city locations, more suburban neighborhoods might dip less in rent.
> Certain ... forums ... will be removed from the site

I no longer contribute to any forums because of stuff like this.

There were various forums I’ve contributed to over the years — sometimes posting thousands of times over 5-10 years. Then the forum is migrated to new software (losing all user accounts or posts), or shutdown for good.

Mozilla did this several times.

Why bother spending the time to contribute towards an online community when your credibility in that community can be removed when new management comes in and decides to change forum software or shutdown forums altogether? I imagine it’s how Yahoo Groups people felt.

Even my posting to HR is limited to stuff that I guess will be gone one day.

Sorry, I am having trouble understanding the point in your final paragraph - are you saying that there are probably some tweaks that could be made to Robert's Rules, or are you saying the Rules protect against tweaks that might end up harmful?
I'm not sure about that. Information on a single page with only a mouse or finger input is limited to only the things directly visible. Add in even one mechanical input system, say a keyboard, and the amount of information easily accessible from a single page increases dramatically

The problem with modern web UI's and UI's in general is that they're optimized for a minimum amount of inputs at one time, usually one, that is directly accessible in a visible way.

This I think, is what most people are actually complaining about when they complain about 'mobile centric ui's or touchscreen inputs.

The greater the number of direct inputs available for any given single screen, the higher the information density and usability can be. Touchscreen and mouse centric designs ie. most modern web design, are designed with one, maybe two direct inputs, correlating only with things directly visible on the screen, at a time.
Do you genuinely interpret what I wrote as a claim that internet piracy met the legal definition of theft?
You didn't actually say how you'll make it better, though! What about it is the problem currently?

Incidentally, are you familiar with BauGruppen? It sounds in the vein of your interests.
My first exposure to parliamentary procedure was a total mind blow.

I think Apple has its priority correct. We can make the pins inside iPhone extremely durable to the point when wear out happens you should be buying a new phone. Instead of having the tongue inside the Phone which could easily break the whole thing. So to me Lightning is still the better design.

Lightning can do USB 3.0 / 5Gbps, and I could see it possibly support 10Gbps with USB 3.2 2x1. But the problem is the first one operate at 2.5Ghz range which is known to course interference with WiFI and USB 3.2 is operating at close to 5Ghz.

I think on iPhone the problem may be bigger due to how closely packed they are. ( But I could be wrong )

Every EU bill should come with the price without VAT (value-added tax) and with the VAT applied, leading to the same result.

The only difference is that the VAT is a certain % depending on your country (mostly 15-25%), making it easy for a merchant to calculate it with a single data point. Percentage is also always a fixed round number, so you can calculate it in your head when you stumble upon "+ VAT" somewhere without providing that data point to the merchant for calculation purposes.
I'm greatly happy on seeing libraries that work with my mother language on HN :-)
