> I have literally never had a fake product mailed to me when I do this.

It's possible you're not buying commonly-faked items, or possibly it happened and you just didn't notice. Lots of fakes are of similar reliability for the first 20-50% of normal lifespan.
> FLOSS often has very poor UX

For much of FLOSS software I would agree. However, almost any program I've used I would say is plenty adequate.

Of course, I would fall into those users you mention, so this probably doesn't mean much.
For every important service there is the current one, the old one that is still in use, the previous previous version that one dumb team still hasn't migrated from, the next gen prototype, the service that deploys the service, the service that monitors it, the data analysis tool, data migration services, the intern project, several upstream services that continuously test the integration points, blah blah blah.

Then you look at the verticals and there's maps, payments, analytics, hosting, marketing, security, identity, partnerships, third party integrations, and a million other things you don't think about.

It's pretty easy to get into those numbers if you want zero downtime and code your own verticals, and have the resources to do it.
Is this a bug or a feature?
The study "Saliva is more sensitive for SARS-CoV-2 detection in COVID-19 patients than nasopharyngeal swabs" [0] was published in April, so I'm glad some additional steps have been taken to test it.

This echoes how I think of Bitcoin; an alternative to government and private banking, not as a replacement but its very existence shifts the hostage-like power dynamics we have grown accustomed to.
It is way too slow, or maybe the demo is getting hammered.
Lies don't matter. Truth doesn't matter. Sure. And so there's no point discussing anything, ever.
A reasonable reading of her statement is that she doesn't regard trans women as actual women and indeed a lot of people hold that opinion and others hold the opinion that that opinion is bigoted. Pretending its a purity test instead of a debate is disingenuous although I'm not here to debate that particular point.

More importantly her voice hasn't been silenced. She and her detractors are equally capable of talking past each other as long as they like.

The degree of energy injected into what amounts into rather trivial debates, for example who cares what an author of mediocre fiction thinks about gender, is a byproduct of the stress put on society at this moment in history.

We have a charismatic Hitler like cult like figure testing the boundaries of what degree of illegality he is allowed to commit and whether or not he is allowed to end democracy as we know it. This crisis is a hand upon the soul of America twisting its body into a knot and the cracks that are appearing and a sign of that stress. If you want that stress to dissipate taking Lenny's hand off the rabbit is the answer.

This didn't start as a wholesale rejection of conservationism or republicans. It is becoming so because they have tied themselves to it relentlessly. If either of those things are near and dear to you then it must be separated as soon as possible.
Totally agree. It's unfortunate though that evaluating merit is so dependent on culture. To me, proving what is and isn't merited feels very similar to proving which programming language should be selected for a project. Except for some very rare scenarios you will find yourself dealing with soft reasoning, and the arguments you construct will depend on the audience you are trying to convince. Perhaps this is a problem of my own, but along this vein I find myself producing different proposal documents depending on whether I will be presenting to a developer, manager, or 3rd party team.

My belief in there being some major cultural influence on people's reasoning of the connection of their ideology to reality is what gives me some sympathy and belief in arguments from people I almost always disagree with, namely proponents of fixes to systemic * ism. I typically disagree with them on the definition of systemic * ism and the correct fix to the systemic * ism. I believe (with some evidence) the inputs to the system produce the disparity to a much larger extent than the individual components of the system being * ist and as such I believe we should work to correct the inputs rather than altering the components. And when people do propose changing components of the system, I find it does often come at the cost of beneficial things like merit. I think that the people proposing these ideas don't necessarily dislike the ideas the system is based on, but rather than have a dislike of some transitively caused property of the system, propose the most obvious fix to it, and then fail to consider further than first order effects of their change (ex: removing merit resulting in lower quality output). And this is why I consider myself a skeptical progressive: I think the cause of fixing systemic * ism is good, but I think the currently proposed solutions are damaging.

I think people who believe everyone who disagrees with them are deplorable would be surprised at the results of sitting down and talking with them. Perhaps the internet is just a bad medium for this.
Pretty spot on. I use a slight fork of TTRSS, and most discussion of offering up PRs upstream is "probably not worth attempting". Unfortunately, developers with this attitude end up harming themselves more than anything else.

But I've been pretty attached to using TTRSS for over five years now.
It's not just aviation. Our entire industrial civilization works like that, and this is the only reason why it can work. We are surrounded by high-precision machinery even in daily life, and are completely oblivious to just how much technomagic it is - and how much historical effort went into building the industry up to the point where it can produce such things so easily and cheaply.
Nobody said things were perfect or bullet proof. But that they are there, and it's not just 'trust us'. And it's not just single technical controls - the control regimes include mitigations against technical failure and requirements for ways to catch collusion and actions taken outside of authority.

And there are lots of things that many folks at the big cloud providers don't know about their internal threat management and monitoring. Source: Audited most of them for that customer you weren't allowed to know the name of. :)
This is an "I told you so" to myself. For all of my carreer I avoided big corporate companies because I just assumed I would hate it, even though at least in the past it maybe sounded more glamorous and I could probably make a lot more money. Recently, through no action of my own, my company was sold to a much larger company. Well I was right.

And you have nailed the essential heart of it I think. You just have to not care about what you're doing, how well it could be done, or what tools you're using to do it.

Which is just no way to live.

But you still have to excel and look good somehow, even with no freedom of movement to excel IN. All you can do is do the pre-scribed wrong things, well.
> No sane person can look at the riots and say this is protest it stopped being that long ago.

Plenty of us sane people can still see the protests going on, the actual riots are not that common but are covered disproportionately by the press (but especially by FoxNews who is making out Portland and Seattle as apocalyptic hellscapes). I assume you are either in Portland and just not paying attention or you are getting all your information from the media.
What I wish we could do is to put our games on a network server, it seems like the space on the Switch is never enough and it's annoying to re-download things a lot.

Yes, you can get microSD cards but there's still not enough space and I'd rather avoid swaps entirely.
Who is going to feed these members of the collective mind while they are working? Who is going to pay for the water, electricity, compute power they use while solving the world problems?

Serious question.
Article is idiotic.

1. The federal claims are ones that would not ordinarily be accepted for State unemployment (e.g. contract workers). It would be irresponsible to compare UI claims YoY that have vastly different criteria.

2. That being said, obviously there is increased unemployment amongst people who would ordinarily not qualify for UI.

3. Seasonal adjustments are small, why even mention them.

4. None of this is the BLS Unemployment survey numbers from the Current Population Survey (the "headline" unemployment rate you see in the news), which is exactly that; a survey that asks people if they are unemployed/underemployed/seeking work. (Which has its own, quite separate methodologies.) [1]

For many years, writers of all political persuasions have divided people into the "independent-thinkers" and the "sheep". Of course, people who think like they do are the independent-thinkers and the others are the sheep.

This article follows the same very old and tired pattern, and it's a shame, because I really enjoy most of Paul Graham's essays.

Has anyone ever seen an attempt to define these terms in an objective, data-driven way? Real data on this might be quite interesting.
This is not a scam unique to Amazon. It happens everywhere, and has for decades at least. A more insidious version attacks eBay sellers. The buyer will send an item back broken and ask for a refund, meanwhile keeping the good verse;n you sent them. Take serial numbers, secretly hide marks and photograph them before sending anything.
Latency and the Quest for Interactivity (1996) [pdf]
WAY cheaper! I used to default to Amazon for everything. So many things that Amazon charges $10-15 for (with free shipping, of course) can be had for $5 with $0-$3 shipping on eBay. I've saved tons over the last couple years.
Unfortunately changing my mindset has just been a slow process (and I still think I have a lot further to go!) no real technique - I just try to invert negative thoughts and be grateful for what I have. I do not always succeed.

CBD oil I just use a tincture that I apply under my tongue - I'll also occasionally add edible capsules if I feel a day is going to be particularly stressful. From my experiments with THC as a teenager, we didn't mix well - I also used nicotine for a very long time, I wouldn't recommend it though!

For WHM I also do cold showers - I wasn't a fan at first, but now most of my showers are cold. I will note that I live in a fairly tropical climate so "cold" here isn't exactly freezing - I'm interested to see what the experience will be like towards winter as the water temperature will gradually drop. I do find I get the most out of it during periods of breath holding as it really let's me empty my mind.

Lack of healthy relationships can be huge - due to expatriating and people I knew leaving the country I am in I don't have a great deal of close friends who live in the same country as me - I am however happily married.

None of these are absolutes and it has taken me a long time to get to where I am.

I will also readily admit that in many areas I have been exceedingly fortunate and as a result there are many things I don't have to worry about that others do, this naturally makes some things easier - all our paths are unique.
Feels like a lot of old knowledge was discounted / ignored and the mistakes are being rediscovered.

Micro service with half life of 1.5 years? Does that mean that enough planning is not being done? Or leadership failure at software planning level?

Collaboration between teams at scale is very hard but that is what the leadership layer is for - to collaborate more not build more micro services.
They certainly didn't ignore that aspect - right there, in the middle of the article, they mention that the aircraft has been designed for low noise, the equivalent of a truck passing by.
True, but such reviews are often prefixed with "I lived in Japan and ..."

The engine needs to be able to run without electrical power, or you need to convince the FAA that your backup will fail with an extremely small probability. This is one of the reasons magnetos + carburetors are common in general aviation
The two main problems I have with the concept of "meritocracy" are:

Incoherent/circular definition: Nobody can actually tell you what merit really is in a specific way, so we end up just measuring it by existing social status. "This guy made it into Harvard Business School and to F500 CEO, he must have a lot of merit". But maybe he got into Harvard because his rich parents were donors and then leveraged those connections for his CEO job, no merit involved. This thing that is meant to determine social status is measured by social status itself and is thus useless.

Meritocracy doesn't fairness or justice or compassion or dignity: Imagine a society which is one big ongoing gladiatorial tournament, meritocracy is defined purely in terms of combat. This would be a very meritocratic society - but would also be a very brutal, unpleasant, and unequal one. If meritocracy can still result in all of those things, what use is it really?
Maybe because the history it has, once there was a company the East India Company, and it took them generations to get them out.

...FLOSS is about the power dynamic between users and developers.

Developers rarely own the rights to their own code. It's actually about the power dynamic between capital and users. The Golden Rule ("He who has the gold, makes the rules") is nowhere more clear than in the software industry, with its lopsided clickthrough licenses and terms of service.
They kept bugging me to log in. When I did, they started throwing things about limits around. So I deleted data related to the site and never log in. Since then I get to read as much as I want.
Thank you for the feedback. As a user of Hotjar and FullStory myself, indeed I find it creepy (albeit very helpful in order to come up with a better experience) to browse through users sessions on my/my clients website. And this is indeed one of the reasons why I started working on SessionForward: as for my answer above, eventually I want neural network models to process data from Replays and Heatmaps PMs and Devs to just receive notifications with actionable insights on how to improve their pages' user experience.
You sound like a multi-level marketing person who tells you to join calling it an investment.

I pose the situation of using Shopify without a product to prove my point. Shopify isn't a valid expense with a product but you can have a product without Shopify. You might have to some really inefficient selling like door-to-door and leave money on the table but the point is you could do it.

Yes, financial products are stagnant. Insurance companies stat tables don't change that much. Credit cards from Capital One's perspective have not changed that much. Maybe from Visa's perspective it is considered profit center and have to change but thats because they make the credit cards and do the processing.

Profit center and cost center classification is important because it tells you what the business really cares about.

Yes marketing is important for companies and even more so for companies that are distributors and don't make their own products. Walmart does not make its own products but it doesn't need so much marketing because there is only a few players. Capital One is also a distributor but it puts a heavy emphasis on marketing because the selling credit cards is very competitive.

I'll give you a point. For distributors in a competitive space like selling credit cards, marketing is the profit center because a good marketing campaign is how they win.

On one hand there’s a risk people just go deeper into their own echo chambers with more extreme writers catering to only their audience.

That said, I actually have seen the opposite. The freedom from ads, low overhead, and editorial independence allows writers to go more in depth and discuss nuanced topics with people they may disagree with.

This isn’t a guarantee and it probably doesn’t have to be that way, but the variety of newsletters I read have a lot more depth than most of the articles in the NYT on any given day.

You’re right though that there’s a vacuum for discovery and community that needs to be filled in a world of decentralized independent platforms. I think there are probably interesting things there that have yet to be built.

It goes beyond Twitter. Take a look at what happened at Evergreen State College in 2017 [1] and you will find close parallels with the Red Guards mentioned in this thread. This is just one incident.

Multiple people are telling you they have personally lived through similar things, and they are scared because these things did not end well. These people are aware of the events you believe pose the greater threat, and they disagree with you.

> I find it bizarre that comments like these seem to think the main battle ground for free speech is young people like myself "cancelling" people on twitter

I truly don't mean to be patronizing, but I will say the following because I believe there is a lot at stake and I'm trying to get you to see the other side of this. If you find this view "bizarre", maybe there is something important you are missing. Is there something these people see that you are missing?

I don't find this surprising at all. Uber operates across 5 dozen countries (or more) each with different regulations and offerings.

For instance, in India you get autorickshaws (called "Autos" sometimes) in addition to cabs as a seperate option. Autos have different rules, billing, driver compliance and safety standards. There are probably a bunch of services around Autos.

Similarly, safety regulatons differ in each country, and in some cases teams are forced to act quickly. Having them in separate microservices again makes sense. Same goes for offers, eats etc.

2000 services is not inconceivable for a company operating across the world.

I'm very happy with my $3 honeydew in season so I don't think I want to ruin that by having $100 melon. Ignorance is bliss!

But do you do with that serial number mismatch and 'missing secret marks' evidence? A seller could easily fudge that "proof" and eBay/Amazon aren't big on taking sellers at their word. There's no fool-proof way to collect evidence of return fraud and there isn't much you can do once you have that evidence.
I don't see why we need to create a new derogatory term using a persons name. It's not even very descriptive.

Had a similar issue with Best Buy: ordered a 10TB HDD (quite a few) and inside was a 250GB HDD.

To be fair, they were champs and replaced it with another unit, but unfortunately there are people who do this and then they don’t validate it. The HDD was also an absurdly old one too.

There's no technical reason light aircraft engines can't be a heck of a lot better than turbocharged, fuel-injected pistons. They could all be cheap turbojets designed for low altitude flight burning regular diesel at 10gph going 300 Knots, with far higher reliability than any piston. Unfortunately for the reasons you mentioned, and the myth that turbines can't be efficient at low altitudes, nobody is going to develop that engine.
100% agree.

The take that asking a question and verifying the decision twice isn't a "dark pattern" it's knowing that people often don't fully read. A true dark pattern is hiding the "confirm" button or swapping primary/secondary.

Also the part about "make fat returns by monetizing my private data, including my health information" is 100% unfounded. Strava monetizes VERY well off of adding additional features for subscribers like many services these days. I've been using Strava for a month free, and they do a really great balance of teasing the features you're missing out on without being too pushy.
Assuming archive.vn is the new archive.is (and it seems so), they are returning intentionally bad IPs back to cloudflare DNS users, so if you're using 1.1.1.1 or one of their other resolvers, that's why. See earlier discussion here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317

Here are a few ways to kill you and all your passengers under instrument flight rules. Most of these involve a single mistake and a "controlled flight into terrain"

- Turn too early/late past an arbitrary point in space

- Turn the wrong direction

- Descend too early past an arbitrary point in space

- Use the wrong altimeter setting

- Failing to recognize and troubleshoot a failed instrument

- Failing to recognize signs of hypoxia

Not to mention dealing with emergency procedures while you don't do any of the above

I’m not so sure. “A cheap and easy way to clean water” is probably the easiest Kickstarter scheme you can pull off. So naturally you will hear a lot of ideas, and none of them will work.

But lets say that your right on your first point, and a general solution exists. Then your second point is most definitely false. It is not the problem that nobody wants to pay for it. It is a problem that the people who need it can’t pay for it, and that nobody is willing to give it to them. See it’s a problem of distribution, not of demand.
