It's insufficient because it doesn't identify someone as a member of law enforcement in a way that can actually be verified.

Someone in fatigues with a "POLICE" patch driving up in an unmarked van could be the police, or they could be Federal agents, FBI, ATF, ICE, or the like, or they could be some random militia acting like vigilantes. They could be protestors false-flagging. They could be anyone.
> But for many (most?) people who grow up in the church this is not the case - if they left the church they'd be losing not only a huge part of their own identity, but severing social ties and souring important life opportunities.

Yeah, a huge reason why I didn't question church teachings earlier in life was fear of losing those social connections. I knew that to a huge percentage of my deeper social network, leaving the church would mean becoming one of the lost, the fallen, the apostate. And the church is very good at getting you to police your own thoughts, especially if you're a people pleaser on some level.

Not an american, but I'm guessing they're referring to the fact that Dixie is a nickname for the Southern US, in particular the states that were part of the Confederacy:

Every maOS install includes a recovery partition which works as you describe. However, if your hard drive is screwed up thoroughly enough, the recovery partition may not be accessible. In that case, you can still access Internet Recovery, which is located on some sort of ROM and allows you to redownload a working recovery image from Apple's servers.
I don't want to work in a job were activists can cancel me any time because I am a white heterosexual male.

We have a huge advantage over SF in that we actually let developers build more housing (and also have plenty of space to build more) Im always so confused when I go to the Bay area and realize the density is much less than Utah.
When I was a lot younger, I worked at an older high technology company in SLC and I mostly loved it. My co-workers were mostly great, the company was the best in its field (though was about to die, I'll get to that), I love the SLC area and Utah in general. I still have friends, mormon and not, from my time there. My direct management was kind, giving, open and knowledgeable and probably the best I have had in my career.

However... the company had a really bad nepotism problem that resulted in protection and favoritism for mormons, and it was a cancer. I worked for the core part of the company, but they had multiple business units. There was an entire business unit that was falling apart because it was absolutely infested with incompetent LDS nepotism hires mostly in the management chain. It had apparently been a problem on and off for a decade+ but had recently started going really wrong when certain people had gotten into positions of authority. Within a few years, the company was effectively dead and had given up a bunch of its lines of business. All of the really good people I knew personally fled and went on to really amazing careers - and a lot left SLC due to the experience.

Now.. the company might have died anyway. There were a lot of transitions at the time that took out the early high flyers. Certainly there were clouds on the horizon. But the immediate cause of death seems pretty clear.

This was in the 90s, SLC was nice then as a place to live but is even nicer now - bike lanes downtown, etc. The air quality in the valley leaves a lot to be desired, the state government could easily clean that up if they wanted, and that's a problem. What stops me from moving back is the risk of social isolation for non-mormons and the nepotism. SLC proper is just under 50%, now, I think, but Utah county is 86% and the state as a whole 68%. It's a concern for them - they worry, "what if I get sick and need hospital care?" and wonder if they'll get the same level of treatment, they wonder if they'll ever be a tier-1 friend with half the population, etc.
I've seen non-Mac laptops ship with a recovery partition but:

1. The recovery partition takes up some space, and

2. You (or malware) can mess up the recovery partition, and

3. The recovery partition doesn't exist if just upgraded the storage (e.g. replace the HDD with an SSD).

Macbooks have other failings (e.g. increasingly hard to upgrade/replace hardware yourself) but the operating system recovery works better than anything I've seen for Windows or Linux. Chromebooks have a factory reset key sequence, but that requires a working ChromeOS on the drive.

It is difficult to write automation to cover all the tasks you would do, even if you cover the ones most commonly done, you will have higher risk on the rest.

I'm not sure any business on earth has "accurately priced in the risks" of a once-in-a-generation financial apocalypse precipitated by a global pandemic.

Again, if the measure is proportionate and justified, it's fair enough to impose it. Stripe has to protect itself too.

But the idea that any business in the current unusual situation should be able to just casually take a disruption to 25% of its cash flow and if it can't then it's somehow been badly run doesn't stand up to scrutiny. Lots of otherwise viable and long-running businesses have been hit hard, sometimes terminally, by the virus situation.
Another, often overlooked part, is that competing in an American election requires very expensive media and outreach campaigns.

Clinton spent $1.2B in 2016 and Trump spent $680B. These are formidable sums for non-establishment parties. Bernie spent $230M in a primary.

To give a rough comparison, the UK limits spending per constituency, so the upper limit a party is allowed to spend in the UK is 19.5 GBP.

The German DPAs love going after random individual cases they find, often in ways incompatible with reality (e.g. a small company not using GPG when e-mailing employees about HR issues), while ignoring major abuses that happen at scale.

So not wanting to wear cargo pants because I think they look like shit makes me classiest and racist?

This kind of behavior where people are labeling anything and everything racist is very much harmful, and makes every sensible people less sensitive to racist claims.
Love this. Would be great to see these in stores. An unfortunate thing about the apparel industry (which I think contributes to how outdated clothing styles have been) is that it's all about the marketing budget and distribution channels. Things like getting your brand onto racks in stores and massive online ad campaigns become the key things to your business. That doesn't really encourage much innovation on product, it's securing the channel that really matters. A large brand's marketing budget can simply just eclipse yours to do better in sales. As you become bigger, all the attention simply shifts to supply chain, distribution, and increasing sales. All optimization problems, almost doesn't matter what you make.

Hope that changes though

Further, we are all curvy in different ways. I couldn't wear either of the trousers he made, without the fabric bunching. Other women might fit one or the other, or none. I like my pockets in the back, for example, but I need zips so things don't fall out and maybe a way of securing them so things don't get stolen and well it's all too hard so I just carry a purse unless it's running pants and I just need to slot my house key in there..

I think I understand your argument, but I think you misunderstood me. I agree that just looking at credentials isn't the way to go. It does create these echo chambers where only those wearing "my colors" can be correct (when perhaps people need to see and hear those without "their colors"). But my argument was never to resort to pure credentialism. Looking at someones background is an important tool in our toolbox for finding the truth. My argument wasn't that a background check should replace scientific debate.

> I think that those not capable of defending a position scientifically shouldn't attempt to do so and should leave it to those who can.

Exactly! And to the 95+% of people who commented or clicked the opening link who do not have a background in bioengineering, how could they take a critical and informed stance to what the paper claims? The claim of the pandemic being man-made affects them, wheter they can fully understand the scientific discussion or not! I never meant to say that there is no-one on HN that cannot have the scientific discussion. I meant to say that most people simply have other skills than bioengineering in their toolbox, but they do have the ability to judge someones character if they find background information about them.

Maybe I should have put more emphasis on "generally" when I wrote it, but I hope I have clarified my point here and that you see it is very much in line with your thinking.
You don't have enough information to go from this

>that's only 80 mental mutations between us and the Homo species that made this axe.

To this

>These guys were just about as smart as us.

You don't know how much of an influence any individual mutation could have made. Also there's no reason to suspect more than [or less than] one mutation per generation.

Just look at the range of "gifted" people in our society - mutations which likely enable savants and such. Men like Newton and Da Vinci, if their successes are due to genetic mutations (I suspect to a significant degree this is the case) placed in another time could individually make the difference between a stone and metal age.

Point being, 80 generations of mutation may be enough to drastically change the human mind - especially considering the immense selection pressure for certain kinds of intelligence, which varies with culture and technology (e.g. stone vs metal age).

Edit: I suppose this comes down to how much evolution you believe happens in the form of punctuated equilibria

Make does so many things correctly:

- it gives user total freedom to modify the built

- yet it has excellent defaults for most situations

- it is full blown programming language,

- yet it's syntax is extremely specialized for the purpose and familiar at the same time (it's bash)

- it's basic assumptions/structure are extremely simple (timestamps, dependencies)

- yet it's extremely powerful and can take into account most situations.

It's be extremely Unix-style tool with very simple building blocks that combine together in extremely powerful way. Its fast to learn and easy to master and as such, the best kind of design.

Sometimes making a build with it is a small programming project, yet after using all kinds of built tools, I end up just wishing that I could use make instead.
This is pretty easy to encapsulate into an individual build step. Rerun LaTeX until the TOC doesn’t change. Fail if this takes too many iterations or repeats.

Many great things about America, I won’t go into.

You can sue the government elsewhere, it is maybe even harder than the US but also an option.

But eg in Europe you have parliamentary and independent, government-funded offices whose job is to look out for such events and protect the citizens without the need for them to sue the state machinery. Like lawsuits it doesn’t always work, but at least the entry threshold is much lower. You just write a substantiated complaint to such office.

For this or other reasons, police and related forces feel more accountable and cautious in dealing with people, and the crime rates don’t seem any worse for it.

At my job, a colleague shared a solution for tunneling into servers that involved having a Docker image running for each server, with some tunneling tricks inside the image.

Those are the times I wonder whether I’m getting old. I kept using a shell alias that does ssh -ND, even though that requires maintaining a config file.

But on the other hand, is a dependency on having Docker available really worse for portability than having a dependency on having a reasonably standard Unix environment?
An alternative to the total transparency you call for might be that an auditor examines everyone’s compensation, and provides statistics for each job role. Lots of employees prefer not to have their exact compensation revealed. Sometimes you may work well with someone (a lawyer, say) and think him a good team player, until you realize he is making tons more than you and envy becomes a factor. Your attitude might go from positive to negative. Would salary transparency be good in that case?

Here, again, is what was actually said:

Cargo pants solve different problems for different people.

If cargo pants are appropriate for your daily life, you definitely don’t want or need my side-seam welt pockets; and vice-versa. Cargo pants aren’t office-wear; these dress pants aren’t combat-wear.

This is not dismissing cargo pants or the wearing thereof. This is dismissing the failure to grasp that details matter a lot in fashion, and the detailing in cargo pants renders them inappropriate to certain contexts. It even directly acknowledges that this goes both ways, and that the detailing on these pants would render them inappropriate to the contexts that cargo pants are designed for (if not limited to).

There are only 37 cities in the US greater than half a million people and only a tiny fraction of those grew by more than 20% over the last decade. The largest two of those are both in Texas and none are in California.

If a city is able to consistently grow at 2% per year it will only take 20 years and a few months to be 50% larger due to compound interest and only 35 years to double in size.

YouTube video titles are ruining internet history. And probably it is more YouTube recommendation-engine guilt, than creators themselves.

>Cargo pants are not the solution here, as they are huge and baggy and the pockets flop around with anything in them.

You're getting the wrong pants if that's the case.

For a time now, I've been buying work pants almost exclusively. Not the cargo pants with flappy hip pockets, but the lighter duty work pants or "service pants", though I'm not 100% sure of the correct english word for them. They're work pants, but not made for heavy physical labor.

Specifically I've been buying pants from the Swedish brand Blåkläder. The quality is just so far beyond chinos or affordable jeans you can get today, and there are so many practical pockets. Even though I work in an office as a computer toucher, I like wearing these work pants, also as a statement of solidarity with the people who ply their trades out in the real world.

If you want something that doesn't have cargo pockets, Varusteleka's tactical jeans are utterly amazing, the most comfortable jeans I've ever worn. Their worker pants are great too, but somewhat more old-fashioned in design.

Slim fit pants just need to go away forever, honestly. They're needlessly uncomfortable for literally not benefit at all, plus you even look stupid in them.

And? Is it not true? Manual labor is not a profession where you're dressing to impress. Their clothes are functional, but are quite ugly.

I did manual labor for a while, and guess what: my clothes sucked too.

No laborer is going to get offended if you tell them that their clothes are not good looking.

Stop getting offended in the name of a random group of people.
