Ok now that I'm reading I'm wondering if I'm wrong, but I'm seeing some posts about it having an idle tracker and that lurkfromhome website exists which is what really solidified my decision.

I'm not saying that we should "pander" to racists and let them spread racist propaganda without consequence. That's an extreme take of my expressed views. I'm arguing that having an easy way to censor speech can cut both ways. It's rarely the case that the system works the way we want it to, and there should be more independent oversight for these cases at the very least. It's about being careful about what we wish for.

I also believe that we should be exploring more ways to fight racism other than censoring it outright. Censorship seems like an easy answer, but it's not going "cure" the racists and has unwanted side-effects on society. I think racism is a complex issue that needs more deeper solutions.

That seems like a very different question than the point of the comment that I replied to. In my short reply, I made it about you and me, but my point was that lots of kids have real "conflict or hardship". If I told you about the stuff that was going on in my house at that age and replaced "family" with "roommates" and "school" with "work", you'd probably think of it as pretty rough. My life is much easier now at 31.

But enough about me. About 1 in 7 US children are food insecure [1] and will go hungry at some point this year. One in 9 girls and 1 in 53 boys under the age of 18 experience sexual abuse or assault at the hands of an adult.[2] There is a lot of pain experienced by the world, and there's no age cutoff.

Another downside is that rendering larger documents to PDF will become incredibly slow. We have documented a REST API with AsciiDoc via Spring RestDocs and the build takes like 10 minutes for the PDF only. That doesn't include generating the snippets with RestDocs, which is rather fast. I suspect it has to do with AsciiDoctor being written in Ruby.
> Social media is what i would consider a public space.

This is where the true disagreement is. We can both believe in the constitution, in the first amendment, and in section 230, but I don't believe social media is a public space, because the person paying for the server is not the government. To me, these are very explicitly private organizations running web applications. For it to be a public space, it would necessarily not be limited in existence to the ability of a private organization to keep it running profitably.

Madison Square Garden is a private space, because someone owns it; it cost money to build, it costs money to maintain, there are finite seats, etc. The organization paying for the thing to exist has authority over the thing. If you want a public space, you can either create one explicitly, or petition the government to create a social media platform bound by the first amendment. It isn't Reddit or Twitter. Those are someone else's property.

I agree with how absurd it probably sounds. An honest response to your question though:

- The pre-sliced chicken breasts are more expensive than the canned by weight

- You have to get out a pan, do the whole process, and then clean the pan and put it back, plus clean whatever mess you made during.

- And then the chicken will go bad if you don't end up eating it after a few days, unless you freeze it

- At which point, if you want to un-freeze it, now you have to wait for the damn thing to thaw again =/

Canned chicken breast also isn't that bad to be honest. If you've never tried it, it goes really well with burritos, tacos, salads, chilis, etc. (Just don't try to eat it by itself, with no condiments. Really bland.)
Unfortunately I have to agree. I also had something very similar happen to me. I guess it is a price to pay.

There is nothing bad about writing your own solutions.

What is bad is putting them in production when you don't have a clue about the domain.
Same goes with clothes. People like having choices, even tho they may never actually wear it.

Bandcamp should implement support for Media Session API, to be able to use desktop integrated player controls when their playlists are opened in the browser. Youtube supports it and it works pretty well with Firefox and KDE plasma browser integration. But Bandcamp palylists don't.
Canvasing in Ohio is a blast. I did it once and the field office was based out of a recently shuttered gambling den. Getting yelled at on someone's front porch is unfiltered democracy!
From the paper: "To provide context, we also model what would happen if we did not open Cornell for a residential fall semester and did full virtual instruction instead. Our nominal parameters
assume that 9000 students would remain in Ithaca but outside the control of the University
in off-campus apartments"

I didn't dig deep enough to see how this assumption affected their "virtual instruction" danger rating, but it seems weird to me to assume that 9000 students would move back to Ithaca to live off campus for a fully online semester?

Maybe... the Secret Service and Military REALLY want a 4 engine plane for AF1 -- remember other than transporting the President it serves as command and control for US armed forces. Losing an engine due to an attack is part of their planning.

They may look at a military conversion if there isn't a civilian airliner available.

Heck, I remember just compiling Java classes on the server machine itself, copying them to a production directory, and restarting the app server (tomcat IIRC). Source control was the sysadmin running a nightly backup of source directories

You're playing semantic games here.

GP was using "angry mob" in the twitter sense. An angry twitter "mob" isn't going to murder you. That doesn't mean people never deserve to be deplatformed or fired. And those things (rightfully) don't require a trial.

I think there will always be demand for linear content. But I would add that linear content tends to benefit an audience that is somewhat off the HN-user's psychological radar: 1) Enjoy "noise" in the environment, 2) appreciate scheduled, always-on randomness, and 3) tend to want to like what is generally liked by society. Mass consumerism is the more pessimistic name for it.

Bundling is also beneficial for allowing some choice as a value-add, as opposed to choice-first like Netflix. There's less friction in the former, less in the way of putting some random thing on and making it stay on while changing programming over time.
4-cyl engines are easy enough to start with a hand crank off the crankshaft. Standard starting procedure for a long time, really. My first car had one, and it was made in 1963.

Won't work on the hulking mammoth engines of a modern F-150, but maybe a step down ratio maybe 1:4 (and a bicycle) and it could work.
Thanks! I agree in a platform like HN (where readers likely have above average critical thinking skills) that can work.
Do web browsers still use screen resolution in these APIs? Didn't that go away with the abstract "px" unit in CSS and followed by ad hoc halving of reported measures to even native apps ("hidpi")?

Not really. I was reacting to "cherry picked whataboutism" and the putdown aspect. Both of those remain. In fact that's all the comment consists of.

Kialo was recently mentioned in the SSC subreddits.

I am convinced the pricing is all deflated to jockey for dominance and then they’ll start raising them.

Levantine archeologists and philologists have recommended many of Finklestein's works to me. Some adopt his low chronology while others don't. But he seems to be respected enough—even among those who disagree with him—in that sliver of academia I'm familiar with. I'd imagine the situation may be different in environments where the the historicity of the Biblical account concerning the United Monarchy is of political or religious importance.
It’s sports. As long as people want sports, they can bundle and charge whatever they want. HGTV probably pays for itself in advertising alone, but bundle it with, say, ESPN and you can charge $1/mo and streaming companies have no choice but to buy it. I would love to spend $65/mo for all the sports, but I can’t. All of the people who want the channels I don’t want are subsidizing me. Unbundle everything and now I’m paying $170/mo and all the other ancillary channels cease to exist.

So, $80 a year. How much did you spend on Disney before? (And how much was left for Disney after everyone on the way had their cut taken).
A whole hell of a lot more. Not just for Star Wars but for all the Disney and Pixar stuff for my boys.

Your revision makes the point a bit better. They’ve cut out the store. Manufacturer. Etc. So that’s a win win.

Doesn’t mean Disney is happy sharing the profits with me.
The 1950's were beyond the Wild West for atomic research (no rules to speak of).

You're correct. I should have been specific. Between the two, are two engine aircraft or four engine aircraft responsible for more deaths? Normalized for number of aircraft/flights over a fixed time period.
Yes openRTMFP and other p2p variants. And yes, you are correct, but we were talking 2006. Browsers relied on plugins for many of those capabilities.
ESPN needs way way more than one dollar per month per subscriber for their licensing alone.
Chrome was bundled and auto installed with Flash, Adobe reader, Picasa and countless other software.
The US isn't taking any of the steps that would be necessary to stamp it out, so of course we will fail. That's a forgone conclusion unless there are major policy changes.

It's unclear what the situation for Emirates is. I would guess they're also hit by the drop in air traffic although they might be able to make the routes work with fewer people seeing how they have a lot of luxury offers.

According to the Figaro article, 8 of their 125 planes are still to be delivered. Maybe they could turn a profit by gaining a bigger share on their routes from other companies?
Getting other viewpoints allows for greater input when making decisions.

Yes. Some of the most "real deal" successful people I've been lucky enough to meet, themselves are totally upfront about how absurdly lucky they were to be at the right place and right time in the past to now be considered "successful" or prominent.
We were trying to recruit via LinkedIn for our startup but soon realized what a shitty business model LinkedIn has.

We had to pay around ~5,00EUR for each and every click on "Apply" to our job posting, which doesn't mean they even filled out the form.

And now, where LinkedIn is full of Indian scammers (not meant in a racist way, but it is definitely perceived that way) we had costs for a "Local Area" limited job posting for hundreds of people from India because they seem to use LinkedIn via proxy.

When we had costs of over 2800EUR for an ad that was displayed less than 8 days, where literally 100% of people were not even from Europe, we decided to fuck this shit and move on to other platforms.

LinkedIn is absolutely useless. Use University job sites, local meetups (during non COVID times, of course), or open source projects to identify devs that actually care about code.

Also, stackoverflow talents is useless. Their "special startup package" of getting access to the platform for 2500EUR is only for one user, limited per email and phone number, not allowed to login in parallel. Every job posting costs additional 400EUR even if nobody applies for it.

You get nothing, as over 90% of people we have actively talked to are not even looking for a job and never clicked that on any stackexchange platform.

I didn't realize how fucked recruiting is. Srsly, somebody needs to fix this.
If I could buy a magical streaming service that only carries the two or three shows I care about at any one time that would be great, but that doesn't exist. But rather than actually paying for all the content I just end up subbing to Netflix and Anime Lab and pirating everything that's not there. (And I'm considering unsubbing from Netflix - they've slowly removed all of the non Netflix original stuff I care about)

Piracy bad I know I know, but there's a limit to how many hoops I'm willing to jump through before I give up and pirate stuff - legitimately finding out how to buy content I want to watch shouldn't be harder than torrenting it.
I know that one change I'd make to HN would be to disallow voting without at least a single-word comment accompanying the vote. Can't be bothered to contribute? Then you can't be bothered to vote, either.

Failing that, I wish comment votes were rendered with 'sparklines' instead of numbers alone. I find it surprisingly interesting to watch my comment scores go up and down over timeframes corresponding to daylight hours in various parts of the world. It would be very cool to see voting trends presented in graphical form. And it should be fairly obvious that posts that oscillate between high and low scores tend to be more thought-provoking than those that shoot to +4 or -4 and stay there.
Yeah, you actually get more fallout from an uncontained meltdown than a nuke at ground level, by a really high margin. (Which should make sense - modern thermonuclear warheads are in the hundreds of kilogram range including explosives, electronics, and casings while a reactor at a power plant will generally contain a hundred tons of uranium alone.)

For example, you can visit the Trinity test site with no protective equipment, and the glass the ground turned into isn't incredibly radioactive. Compare to the area around Chernobyl's reactor #4.
Interesting approach, would the code sent to the user be a TOTP ?

Because a 5 digit code holds much less entropy than traditional passwordless tokens, it would be easier to brute force if the validation endpoint is not properly implemented (rate-limiting and deleting the challenge after N failed responses).
It sounds like he is implying the use of this software isn't proof a company lacks leadership.
In a contract between two parties, no party has any kind of legally elevated position over the other.

Many employment contracts are written by employers though, so this culture that the employer is some kind of gentle but strict super entity pervades through the language of employment contracts.

The company is just another Joe, and you have just as much right to dictate the terms of your employment as they do, just as you have equal standing in any contract you enter into with your mom, your husband, or your church.

One thing that helps pick apart the engrained culture of faux company superiority is to imagine they are a church instead.

Quoting the following part of EFF’s article makes me feel like they are still toeing the line.

> [the state] must also establish protections for churchgoers: surveillance of parishioners should be necessary and proportionate [and] parishioners should have the right to know what exactly their priests are collecting.

> In a world where everyone is a hunter gatherer, how did the first small and outnumbered proto-state have the power to coerce them into settling?

I read that in Mesopotamia what came first was an economy centered around the temple, kings and state were a later invention. so it was probably a gradual build up. The temple economy may have been slightly less coercive,

Also there is the curious tale of Urukagina and his reforms - (has some parallels to the story of Akhenaten in Egypt) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urukagina ; incidentially the reformer guy Urukagina was not quite as tough as his predecessor and lost out to his external competitors.

How Apple's operating systems mistreat the user
Hi Dang, I was just going to email you for clarification if I shouldn't post something similar in future. Thanks for the clarification and for the record I feel the same about the title, but as per HN guidelines I didn't editorialize the title myself.

I've posted it again here with title "How Apple's operating systems mistreat the user"

Edit: somehow I missed the suggested title (fixed it now)
Of course. ESPN is about $10/mo on every single cable bill. Only a third of cable subscribers ever watch ESPN. If I had to pay fair price for it, I’d be spending likely close to $40-50 on ESPN alone. Add that onto ESPN+, BeIN Sports, NBCSN, Fox Sports, etc and I’d absolutely be up near $150 if I actually paid what it cost.
I realize this is going way off topic but I’m seeing the opposite: I have dozens of $20+ beer bottles in the basement and occasionally like a little fresh IPA but by volume I drink way more Modelo or other lager. Doing anything because everybody else is means... something, showing up with a case of miller lite says you DGAF and the genuinely interesting people seem to notice.
737's are usually used as short haul planes, while a 747 is typically long haul. You would expect a long haul plane to spend more time in cruise relative to climb, so the fuel consumption numbers could be quite different.
