Sorry, I'd thought you were referring to navy (non-commercial) ships.

Cue the I'm an admiral / I'm a lighthouse "give way" joke[1]. As of 2020 we've learned (open source: reuters) that naval vessels may be deadly in hot wars, but don't do so well in full and frank discussions ('shouldering' when grey on grey) with either cargo vessels or arctic-hulled vessels.

Back in fax-spam days, the USN even officially responded to this joke:

“The first time I heard of it was — oh, let’s see, how long — about 10 years ago or so, I think. That story’s so old,” [LANTFLT spokesman, Cmdr. Kevin] Wensing said, “it probably started out back in the galleon days, or back when there was a big lighthouse at Alexandria, Egypt.”

"Nutpicking" is a very satisfying (and much easier to type) term for this phenomenon.
There was a chap here in the UK who used to go around giving STEM demonstrations, and in particular would do some wonderful lights, smells, and bangs with simple chemistry.

Then the company supplying him with lox found out what he was doing and deemed it too dangerous, so they stopped selling it to him.

So he bought liquid nitrogen and distilled his own lox instead. He said it was a great demonstration, and cheaper to boot. He just made sure the supplier never found out.

But with this rig he could have done the lot for himself ... I wonder why he never did ...

Our history seems to celebrate all past conquests as great feats by super-human hero-like figures, when in reality they were sackers, enslavers, and robbers...

heck from the Egyptian Pyramids to Europe's castle's to Abu dhabi's big buildings.

It seems all of them are tainted with being built with a slave workforce...

Same goes for any multinational corporation exerting resources from their low-wage employees and the countries where they operate.

Sad thing is we, as a society, will probably celebrate/admire those who extract more.

Fight of the condor: Peru bull fiestas threaten future of rare Andean bird

At a raucous mountain festival high in the Peruvian Andes, a brass band and booming loudspeaker herald the arrival of the most eagerly awaited spectacle.

With the wings of an angel and the horns of a devil, the tonne of life that flaps and bucks and charges into the bullring at first resembles a strange mythological beast.

Snorting and kicking up dust, the hybrid – a raging bull with a condor strapped to its back – strikes awe in a watching crowd as it thunders into the arena, then excitement as it repeatedly attempts to gore a matador. The closer the enraged beast comes to a lethal connection, the louder the cheers of "Olé!"

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jan/29/condor-peru-bu...

Olé, indeed.

Yeah after being an early customer who bought both the mac and iPhone licenses, I felt offended with the new plans/paid upgrades and decided to vote with my wallet.

I prefer the inconvenience of using an old version (which I have a license for) than paying the extorsion price of a paid only update, and with the nonsense of different platforms being sold separately.

Fender owns Squire so it will be essentially the same guitar but made from cheaper wood and cheaper components.

Back in the 80s I bought a Charvel (Japanese) as I couldn't afford a Jackson (US made) - the cheaper Floyd Rose tremolo was disappointing but it was fine to play. Eventually switched to an Ibanez RG 570 which was super nice to play.

There is 3 catastrophes related to nuclear. The only one where radiation actually killed people was Chernobyl. Displacement of hundred thousands, considered contaminated thus excluded by their peers, probably caused more life-years lost than the radiation itself.

The UNSCEAR (GIEC group1 equivalent for radiation) rapport on Fukushima is enlightening.

Nuclear have a lot of drawback too (mining pollution, waste disposal) but is probably the energy ressource that killed the less people/MWh produced, and for sure the one destroying the less ecosystem/MWh.

I used to be anti-nuclear for the wrong reasons until an observation internship in a hospital were i learned how dangerous radiation actually was, but realistically, until a new breakthrough on superconductor is found and allow us a less expensive, more lasting magnetic containment for plasma, i don't see any other energy that can replace coal/gaz.
Haha I just received a new left AirPod Pro. I was wondering why they send it so fast and I thought maybe they know this problem, send me a replacement so I don’t ask any more questions. Rattlegate seems to be an appropriate name for this!

I don't think that social media users encounter less diverse news, it's that they encounter news that's specifically engineered for distribution via social media.

I understand the appeal of this feature for sorting, but it seems ineffective for things like "figure out who sold my email to the spammers" because everyone knows about it and it's elementary to just trim off everything after the plus sign.

LXD is indeed nice, but it still isn't very widely adopted. I believe this comes down to 3 main issues:

1) It's strongly connected to Canonical and Ubuntu. This is mostly a matter of perception and it is an actual community project. However, I can understand people not feeling comfortable with "snap install lxd".

2) It sits somewhere in between k8s and docker engine. Over time, it will probably get more k8s-like features but still it is a weird position to be in.

3) It lacks a reach ecosystem of tools supporting it and a web UI. This makes it hard for newcomers to adopt. We're working on a web UI ourselves as part of our open source cloud management platform (https://github.com/mistio/mist-ce) and love to hear your thoughts.

I think it's a bit disingenuous to call the rushed switch to online learning during a pandemic a failed or sub-par experiment, as I've seen in the WSJ.

The slapdash system we cobbled together on the fly while trying to figure out if we were dying doesn't hold up against the decades old, well tested and vetted in class educational experience? It would be problematic if it did, wouldn't it? It would mean we were completely wrong about the best way to educate.

The biggest note I see from this is that maybe it's not a great idea to force children to sit still and "learn" for 8 hours a day. If the only way for that technique to work is to have them physically controllable, something might not be working.

^ This!

In all my travels I've only met a handful of people who were not at least skeptical or downright disparaging of home schooling, at least until they learned about my background and either politeness or exposure to contrary evidence required backtracking.

I often encounter a kind of reverence toward teachers in particular and our educational establishment in general which is woefully misplaced. The structure the American education system (and maybe in other countries although I only went to school in the US) is in direct opposition to the formation of qualities like curiosity, independence, auto-didactic inquiry, and skepticism that are as vital today as literacy was a century ago.

I was lucky to be raised by parents who had no respect for the establishment and chose to live in a state that did not force them to educate their children in accordance with government mandates. As a result they were free to bring us up in the way that they hoped was best for each of us. For me that ended up being unschooling.
You don't need a tool to change your MAC address. You can do it from the Control Panel.

And as another commenter said, this would only change my local IP (192.168.254.x) IP, not the WAN IP (50.39.x.x). I would need to change my router's MAC address, since that's the only MAC address my ISP sees. And depending on my ISP's DHCP configuration, I still might not get a different IP. I might even make it unable to get an IP at all.

For what it's worth, that used to be a very common model of teaching, especially in early school (and it still is pretty common at university level, with TAs). It would be common for fourth-graders to teach first graders, as I understand it, especially in rural schools where there were very few teachers available.

I think there are problems with he system though, as you can't rely on the teaching capacities of an 11 year old child, even if they are quite gifted in that particular subject matter. I think doing group work with a mix of older and younger children would help a lot though, but it is still probably best if the concepts are first introduced by an adult who has at least some pedagocical training.

No it doesn't. Apple has shipped an insane amount of AirPods and even if a minuscule amount is affected by the hardware issues, thousands of people will still experience them.

The same goes for Apple support: you won't read online complaints from people who got their laptop immediately replaced or who were sent a new keyboard without question.

You will read the bad experiences where potential factors such as own fault or shitty behavior are not mentioned, further skewing the picture.

Apple can have very shitty service - no doubt - but what really is the overall experience of support when Apple ships many millions of hardware devices every year?

You insinuate that people are too stupid or too Stockholmy to apply consequences after continuous bad experiences and also that Apple just doesn't give a shit about customers which is absurd.
I would guess that around 90% of HN's US users have watched Mythbusters, and probably 30-40% of users from elsewhere - which might be half the people reading this post. If you don't know it, I'd totally recommend it - especially the ones with Grant in (S4-13?)

Counterpoint: while on a human level it is right and moral to care and empathize for those in poor conditions, in no way do the "barons" of the global north or their countries owe the "global south" improvement of living conditions. I don't say that in ignorance of history or out of apathy but solely because countries are sovreign and the right for self determination of people in a soveign country means those people decide and take upon the responsibility of their fate. You can throw money,education or people at 3rd world countries but ultimately, political change and security is what they need to make their country friendly to global commerce which will enable them to escape poverty. This means they have to get past internal divisions and get rid of corruption no matter the cost. Democracy does not work for every country, especially for poorly educated and majority illiterate countries, so they need to resist western pressure until they mature a bit more. But no matter what, those people must decide their fate. Yes, the north/west should help them with humanitarian needs and where it makes sense invest in them. No, the west/north should not interfere in their politics or accept responsibiltiy for their fate.

If Bill Gates and friends owe anyone,it is the people of their own country. Plenty of poverty in the US even if it doesn't compare to Africa.

It isn't right to criticize a well intended act of generosity and call the person racist. Colonialism was racist, bill gates is not. If Bill Gates saved even one African child's life,how many people can say the same, even in Africa or the "global south"? Even if the rich "global north" is being racist, I think I prefer having that in the world than cynical onlookers that are of no help other than to critique those helping.
As the article states, the certificates are not for dev roles.
You raise very valid points. The case you describe would be characterised as “oppositional reading” of mainstream media by those believing in a conspiracy.

However, this is unrelated to the common understanding echo chambers. A big problem with the concept is that there is no robust definition, and the fact that it is used widely in mainstream discussion does not make it easier. The tendency to preferentially connect or communicate with like-minded people (homophily) is nothing new, we encounter it everywhere—think hobby groups, special-interest forums like HN etc. Social media’s affordances especially promote homophily. What the filter bubble/echo chamber concepts add to this preference is an exclusion of outsiders. The above commenter summarised a purported consequence as “you’re sucked into an echo chamber with only news that confirms your views”. In this sense, using diverse news would be incompatible with an echo chamber.

What is especially interesting, then, is that ideological polarisation is very much alive on the internet, despite (or indeed because of) the absence of echo chambers.

I thoroughly recommend the article I linked above. It touches upon these concepts and cites current research that allows you to dig deeper.

I'm on my 3rd or 4th pair. The current ones need to be replaced as they rattle, first appearing in the left now the right are progressively following suit.

They are convenient and work well, however the fault rates are incredible. As soon as apple store opens back up I'll be replacing them for 5th time.
