ok, but my point was that div and curl were taught in 102, not 101 (which you easily could have placed out of). therefore, the reasoning goes, if they were in 101, that must be a hyper 101.

> Eggs were no longer a luxury and as the price of imported fruit fell, many in the cities started eating oranges and bananas for the first time. They could only afford to buy these foods because the costers who sold them kept the prices too low to allow themselves a decent life. By the same token, big shopkeepers kept food prices down by forcing employees to work long hours for low pay.

This seems to turn cause and effect completely upside down. What shopkeeper would not have preferred higher prices? What "coster" was putting forth any effort individually to "keep prices too low"?

Both of those parties were undoubtedly striving to sell for the maximum possible profit. And cheap labor in the large had nothing to do with the actions or power of any individual shopkeeper. There were just a lot of hungry people willing to work for next to nothing because next to nothing to eat is slightly better than nothing to eat.

I consider my politics left-leaning and not libertarian.

I'm making an engineering argument about risk and blame, not a political argument about freedom. I am not arguing that we shouldn't have speed limits. Speed limits are like democracy. It's a terrible system... except for all of the others.

Ideally we'd have a better measure of unsafe movement -- We could much better measure risk if the speed limit was set to an equation based on the difference in momentum vectors between vehicles, the capabilities of the drivers and vehicles involved, the weather conditions, etc... but that has a much larger weakness in that we don't have a way to effectively measure/calculate/communicate those expectations to drivers.

I am all in favor of a utilitarian solution to the problem, but I'm under no illusion that it is a rigorous benchmark of risk.

The libertarian argument is that we shouldn't penalize risk at all. I am saying we should penalize risk, but that speed limits do a mediocre job of measuring it.
Rigging (digital or not) would be hard to hide, because it could only be a minor adjustment to remain plausible. All the election results end up roughly similar to all the various independent polling results. If some party suddenly receives a lot more votes than they polled for - it will be noticed.

Also Estonia already has a history of (non-digital) election rigging [1] so rhetoric of the "digital results in rigging, keep it physical for safety" kind isn't super convincing.

There are some major issues with prop 13 in that it allows people to set up a paper company to own a piece of property, then sell the paper company rather than the property in order to avoid tax reassessment.

It troubles me that so much of this article is focused on how bad the films are. If the director had succeeded in making a masterpiece, would the conclusion have been that the ends (at least partially) justified the means? The article briefly mentions directors whose methods we now condem but whose work we still celebrate, but even then I felt like the message was "at least those directors produced great art."
And the lesson there seems to be protectionist policies make sense for developing nations.
AdAway and AFWall+ solve that. As long as I can root my device, I'm good.
> This is just a detail. The city creates the tax so they can change it any way they want.

The majority of large companies are Delaware C-corps and they pay the State-specific taxes for each employee's home state and the employee's primary office location. There's no way that NYC could tax all of a company's worldwide employees who never set foot in NYC just because it has an office in NYC. Attempting or merely suggesting it would have massive consequences.

If they're going to go full cash-grab, they might as well figure out the property values that align with billionaires and structure property taxes that specifically target them. For example Bezos has a couple apartments in NYC[1] bought for about $80M. They could put a one-time %100000 property tax and demand he pay them $80B.

This is the main issue I have with app security. It would be great if one could deny network access to apps. I would be much more willing to install many apps if I knew they would keep the data local and not be able to send my data to some insecure cloud service for sale to the highest bidder behind my back.

It would be cool if app stores showed which apps require network access and which don't.
A person needs about 2000 calories a day. It is extremely hard to get that much from fresh produce. You will need to cook something, and that takes may more tine than microwaving a hot pocket.
I don't, and that's a good point - if the number of users remain the same (or even increases slightly) than I do see how legalizing can be beneficial. However, in my mind legalizing drugs also means easier access, and that can lead to an increasing number of people using drugs.
There will be algorithmic advances, but they will benefit larger models too. Larger models will still win. The value of having the best AI is so great that it will be worth nearly any level of investment in hardware to the large tech companies that can afford it.
Police with bad training kill more and are killed more, not really a surprise there.
A better trained police would reduce the number of violent encounters and be less likely to be killed in a violent encounter.

I mean it is factor 40. This are third world numbers. I don' really think there is a valid excuse for that.

It may be that the majority of prisoners are there for violent crimes. But how many of them were in prison for a non-violent offence the first time?

The percentage of innocent people in prison is probably below 10%. But the number of exonerations of the innocent project and the difficulties and issues they uncover, make it hard to believe, that it is in the lower single digit range. Most of the time it is just pure luck that a false conviction is overturned. So there must be many more.

Today we know just how unreliable eye-witness testimony is, especially of a different ethnicity, yet it has been a major way criminals are identified.
Yep it’s still a fair way off, but it’s being upgraded all the time. Won’t start charging until this sort of issue goes away
Companies setup subsidiary corporations in states employees are in if the tax situation makes sense.

This is especially true if you use an outsourced HR company like TriNet for payroll, which many startups do.
> The project will allow volunteers to assemble the fundamentals of an article using words and entities from Wikidata. Because Wikidata uses conceptual models that are meant to be universal across languages, it should be possible to use and extend these building blocks of knowledge to create models for articles that also have universal value. Using code, volunteers will be able to translate these abstract “articles” into their own languages. If successful, this could eventually allow everyone to read about any topic in Wikidata in their own language.

This is a great idea. I bet the translations will be interesting as well. I was wondering about how the translation was going to work and it looks like they thought of that as well. They're going to use code to help with the translation.

> Wikilambda is a new Wikimedia project that allows to create and maintain code. This is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kind of functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use. It also provides code that translates the language-independent article from Abstract Wikipedia into the language of a Wikipedia. This allows everyone to read the article in their language. Wikilambda will use knowledge about words and entities from Wikidata.

No surprise that ransomware makers are now shifting their focus to Mac OS devices.

From my observations, most people who buy Macs tend to have good finances, and are probably more likely to pay a ransom (and at a higher price) than most of the people who use Windows or Chromebook users.
If you're super lazy, you just put everything in the pot, and wait.

Lentils

Vegetables of your choosing

Maybe two potatoes

One or two average sized chorizos

A bit of salt

A bit of olive oil (something else if olive oil is expensive in your area)

A bit of cooking wine

Little bit of curry

If you don't have soup from previous stuff, you put one of this chicken soup pills, IDK how to translate to english, this how it looks: https://pepekitchen.com/articulo/nueva-presentacion-de-las-p...

You can make it way tastier and more elaborated but this is the most lazy and basic plate, and still tastes good. Well, you still have to cut stuff for a few minutes, if that's any effort.
I'm not sure how seriously I would take survey data from Blind. IME Blind's population tends to be the crankiest and most reactive people in tech. It's not surprising that they're unhappy on the whole.
Netguard is such a wonderful tool. Highly recommend either the free or paid versions.

It's a shame Android doesn't allow vpn chaining though, because netguard creates a local vpn connection you can't use it with an actual vpn simultaneously.

I think it's reasonable to assume that most companies will have a different attitude to work from home after COVID-19. Whether that translates to 100% remote is an option for anyone who asks for it I'm not completely convinced. If it does it will certainly change my long term plans in a number of different ways.

Pressure cookers are amazing for this. I make lentil stews with 5-10 min of prep and 10 min unsupervised cook time (using Instant Pot).
I think people are more concerned about the data Google and apps mine from their devices than the type of encryption.
It depends - even for WFH or agile working here in the UK, usually you have a "home base" in your contract where legally they can force you to work from should push come to shove. I'd imagine there's something similar in the US which gives them a reasonable argument to still tax those who should be in the city?

I guess a few companies will open up satellite offices in places amenable to remote works in that instance.
I would love to be able to eat more beans and lentils because they are cheap, store well, relatively nutritious, and a fairly good alternative to meat. However, they don't sit well with my GI tract. Maybe I have a bad gut biome but the bloat keeps me from using them much
Additionally, purchases of corporate debt are not the same thing as issuance of grants to individuals or companies, examples of which are unemployment benefits or a portion of the PPP small business program.

Historically, looking back at 2008-2009, purchases of corporate debt by the government either turned a profit or lost very little money. The 'bailouts' had aggressive terms and were repaid.

If it does turn into a subsidy, the correct measurement is the difference between what the government pays today and what they sell it for later, or, if it defaults, the bankruptcy settlement value (which in the case of collateralized loans is rarely zero). Not the dollar amount of bonds purchased or money lent.

This year, purchasing of corporate bonds has been focused on investment grade debt. It is unlikely they will experience any significant loss on this.
I'd argue it's not mechanized agriculture that they have a hard time competing with but rather Western practices around agriculture subsidies. If agriculture subsidies weren't in place, much of food sales would be considered dumping as most prices reflect said subsidies and would be massive selling at a loss without them.
So, it's a fine article, with lots of interesting details about Victorian food supply....but you could write more or less the exact same article replacing "cheap food" with "cheap clothes" or "cheap mobile phones" or "cheap any consumer good" and the stories about Victorian costermongers with Vietnamese sweatshop workers, or Chinese electronics factory workers, or Honduran coffee pickers, etc., and the end of the article seems to be arguing for just paying more for food?

I don't think talking about poverty in modern societies in terms of economic sectors instead of trying to address it at a societal level is particularly useful. The point of the article should not be "let's all pay more for food" it should be "give everyone a UBI and if that means food costs more because you have to pay people more to work as cooks or strawberry pickers, that's a _good thing_.

Facebook has been caught doing that where phone numbers for 2FA purposes that were promised not to be used for ad targeting started being used for exactly that purpose. Facebook is of comparable size and operates within the same regulatory environment as Google, so if they can do it and get away with it there's no reason to believe it would be different for Google.

> I still haven't understood where is the definitive place to set dns nowadays.

There isn't. There are half a dozen packages on a Linux install that each will reset the DNS settings as they wish.

Setting your network DHCP with the correct values tends to work, because everything queries it. But I still didn't manage to replace the upstream DNS on the DHCP server.

The author says the stock market rallies are "Not suprising when you take into consideration the amount of liquidity being injected into markets by the BOJ, ECB, FED and PBOC."

Have we ever seen this happen before - either in the US or another country in a similar circumstance? What are the medium- and long-term consequences of this amount of liquidity being artificially introduced?

I'm finding the longer-term market behavior basically impossible to predict & understand; I expect I'm not the only one but would love it if anyone can shed some light on what to expect in the next few years.

All you said is true, but this is the mechanism Congress decided to distribute the money (a universal, early tax refund for 2020), and that are its failure modes - some people will get it later than others if the government doesn't currently have their information on file, or only has paper returns.
Ask HN: How should open source support critical dependencies?
In something slightly similar to the infamous leftpad issue, many NPM builds started failing yesterday because 'npm audit' now reports a security vulnerability for lodash. lodash is currently in use in over 7 million Github repos, and it's nearly impossible to use NPM without some transitive dependency that depends on lodash.

This security vulnerability was reported in October (https://hackerone.com/reports/712065) and there have been 2 PRs open for 2 months that fix this issue, but lodash hasn't had any releases for a year. There is essentially one (unpaid) person who has power to release lodash, a library that a huge majority of reasonably-sized javascript projects now depend on.

How should the open source community address essentially abandoned projects that have become critical in the ecosystem?
How do any of those 4 resolv.conf location variants change where the compiled-in fallback is configured/visible?

Sorry. To be more specific it killed:

1. Marxist terminology and the notion of class war ("proles" and "bourgeoise" are now anachronistic)

2. Marxist economic theory and the goal of replacing capitalism

The dream of overthrowing capitalism lives on in squats and hard-left fringe groups, but it's dead and buried in the mainstream. China's adoption of it put the final nail in that coffin.

The more generalised Marxist theory of dividing the world into oppressors/the oppressed lives on and is seeing a resurgence. With that I agree.
FWIW it hasn't had much uptake within Google.

I think the sense that this is a "Google language" is exagerated. What it is is a language created by a certain group of people at Google with Rob Pike at its origin, and they would have created this language wherever they were working. It's a continuation of the work they did on Limbo/Inferno, etc. not something adapted for Google's needs, as it is sometimes advertised as.

So I'm in no position to criticize Rob Pike, he's a far smarter person than me who has achieved a lot more than I ever will. But I also don't think Go solves any problems that I have, and my one experience with going through Go code review at Google turned me off the language probably forever.
Personally, I think people that move to lower-taxation states are going to be in for a rude awakening when they realize how poorly funded local infrastructure is and how much they took for granted.

Speaking as someone that's lived all across the US, I don't think people understand how dire even the major non-coastal cities can be.
Anecdotally, it's an association problem.

I'm well off, and eat lentils and rice on the regular. So do all my equally comfortable friends, whether it's from a healthy "whole foods" kind of mentality or just an enjoyment of tasty food.

When I talk about food with my family who is lower income, they often dismiss those kinds of foods as being "poor people food" even to the extent of throwing a bit of shade when I send photos of lentil dishes I've prepared. They feel that because they can afford fast food and eating out, that they should almost like a weird wealth display. Their idea of treating someone to a good meal is a trip to a slightly nicer fast food restaurant.

Obviously, this is a small sample size and is tied to my family so this is likely not a comprehensive answer but it's at least my observation on the matter.
Programmer Weekly – Issue 11
of course not; but neither does the war on drugs. Or legal drugs like alcohol. And it's quite obvious at this point that the negative consequences of the war on drugs far outweigh the negative consequences of drug use, especially if such use was regulated and supervised, and had compassionate treatment options
>and Costa Rica have so much cocaine running through them that people basically just have gobs of the stuff on them and 75% of the ex-pats there are somewhere between drunk and coke-addled most days

Not my experience at all. The expats I met are usually doing some combination of bar work, yoga classes, and other such things. Among the entire cohort of the hostel inhabitants (mostly tourists I imagine?) I haven't seen one drunk or drugged person.

I did see plenty of drug dealers though - some shady dealers on the street and some very presentable resident dealers inside various venues. So there has to be a lot of drug use going on, just none that I have noticed.
Seriously, what the hell? This is one of the most blatant instances of lazy crosscutting leakage, but the general trend is why I've moved net horizon isolation more towards full vms rather than relying on local firewall rules.
