Merit is fine for society at large, and again we haven't come up with something fairer and more equal while valueing individual freedoms at the same time.

It has also the benefit of ensuring a minimum of competence for people in public office and expert positions.
You made an account 8 hours ago and have made three comments in separate threads about how America is a shithole. Why?
While I agree with you about PR and reputation (sadly), it would be valuable for scientists as a Null value. I would put it on the same level as the Aether experiments.
Yeah, for all the love the G4 Cube gets, the Gamecube was much, much, smaller, had more efficient cooling, similar specs (minus the disk drive), and was 1/10th the price.

The 1T-SRAM and EDRAM framebuffer caches in the Gamecube were also much more interesting on a technical level. Considering how poorly Aqua ran on the Mac's of that era, the Gamecube's 3D hardware probably would have been better suited to OS X than Apple's own.

It's a far superior design imo.
Also, there are wolves in both of the "aggressive" camps - people who would acquire power by any means necessary, no matter the costs to others. It is very hard to draw the line between "failed visionary" and "power hungry manipulator".
The big difference I see between HN, Reddit, and traditional message boards on one hand and Facebook/Twitter/Instagram style social media on the other is the relative prominence of personalities vs topics. HN/Reddit/boards are topic focused, whereas the other social media sites are personality focused, with the specific accounts that you follow determining your overall experience of the site and the topics that you are shown. In order to have an experience on those latter sites you must connect yourself into the graph.
Enabling fairer data clusters for machine learning
I don't think they have to be necessarily, or, at least, totally, bullshit jobs.

Also, it's not only, even not mainly, a social program, but an automatic stabilizer in the economy.

It gives power to the workers too, because there is always an, even if with low pay, alternative available.
It would be fun to see what 100+ people think of an element of the modern world, like the smell of gasoline.

Would the smell of gasoline get over 2 stars? Would carbonated water get under 3 stars? These are questions I want to know the answer to.
I agree that the basic human need of shelter should be more affordable. I remember 10 years ago, when prices dropped after the financial crisis, people were saying "this is it" but it is politcally untenable to allow prices to drop. So those that didn't own eventually got tired of waiting and then when they have bought they don't want a drop, because who wants to burn money?
Yes, use of the word ever is a bit hyperbolic. Change it to "easily afford" and no one would bat an eye.
Textbooks for French teach Parisian French, the kind standardized by the Académie française. Does this mean that Québécois is wrong? Does this mean that when the Swiss say “septante” we should correct them and say “Ce n’est pas septante, c’est soixante-dix.”

The fact that we teach French according to the Académie française and teach Spanish according to the Real Academia Española is just due to the political power of those institutions, as any linguist will tell you.

These divisions, that American English and British English are “standard” and other versions of English are “non-standard” are based in colonial sensibilities and steeped in racism—the same reasons why AAVE is seen as inferior, or Haitian Creole.
Considering the volume of resources expended to get people to mars and host them there and return them... I'm not sure that it is a fair comparison.

Disingenuous? There's no value in collating information from different sources?

None of the words on the home page imply the information can't be manually collated for free.

And this is a Show HN, it's reasonable to assume you would be the first person in the IPOs.fyi community. That doesn't make anything OP is doing disingenuous. All communities start with 1 person...

No, I just wanted to add a source about the rule-of-law conditions for funds discussion. As I know no one is fighting for Reuters not to shut down.
Yeah, I'm very happy to be using myself for myself (and for others), thank you very much.
I feel like this needs to be the top comment. Buying warehouse items is risky, that's why it's cheaper.

Also, you can just return it if you don't like.

I don't think this deserves the scrutiny it's getting here.
GPT-3 and “The New Fake Intelligence”
The fact that there has been measured an increase in average IQ of the world population, doesn‘t mean that the differences between individuals don‘t exist. Look up some studies and you will see that there are huge differences in IQ, and intelligence is the number one predictor of an individual‘s success.
They could catch it multiples ways. Simple precise weight measurement would catch basic scammers. They could X-ray the package and use cv to determine if the contents have been modified or not.
Ghislaine Maxwell Wrapped Her Phone in Tinfoil–What Does That Do?
I'm trying to run through this exercise right now. Is it bad to have too many adverbs at one time? Whatabout adverbs that might contradict? Or is it fine to just get a few, no matter the contradictions and not overthink it?
Seriously? 30-40? Is that accurate!?
Not that I want to be pedantic, but that's a rather sweeping statement. The decision to scrap would depend on things like the number of flight hours and takeoff/landing cycles on the air frame and the number of other worn parts, hitting meantime-before-failure on large numbers of parts/assemblies, such that it may be more economical to scrap.
Indian English has “maths” because it is closely related to British English, which also uses “maths”.
Just to be pedantic, if you think about Paris intra-muros, yes it's smaller but still the same order of magnitude. If you think about Paris with the suburb, it's actually about the same.

But the main thing : Paris is much more famous than Chennai.
I guess that is the reason why there is interest in outsourcing to Eastern Europe. Case in point being EPAM Systems. Indian IT consultancies might have huge operations but they are not the only show in town.
> I'm not even asking you to share it, just asking if it exists - do you hold any opinions that you believe to be true, yet you dare not share with anyone for fear that you would lose your job and all social connections if you were to reveal that you held that opinion?

This just seems like a trick question to me. If you say yes, then you agree with him; if you say no, you admit you're just a sheep with no independent thoughts.

The idea of a lone free thinker who's come up with a forbidden truth also seems silly. The stuff people are getting "cancelled" for are not independent unique thoughts; they're stuff a huge group agrees with, including the current US president and ruling party. You also won't get shunned by all of your social connections for expressing it, you'll retreat back to the same group of people that reinforced those opinions to the status of "truth" in the first place, to reassure each other about how persecuted you all are.
x86 lightweight disassembler and shellcode emulator
qemu, a dozen gameboy emulators, dosbox, the 9front emulators (NES, SNES, GB, GBA, C64, 2600), xemu, z80e, and many, many more. Lots of the C++ emulators you're familiar with have the performance critical parts written in C as well, excepting some newer emulators which leverage something like LLVM for JIT emulation.

> Yep, its a rice cooker

A rice cooker is a cylindrical item that usually comes in a rectangular box that leaves empty room in the corners. The LP associate was checking for additional unpurchased items in the box, not that you were getting a rice cooker.
> There’s nothing wrong with a society where people feel uncomfortable saying that they think their peers don’t deserve equal rights.

It's possible that the reason he donated was because he disagreed with the particular wording of the proposition as written, not that he thinks his peers don't deserve equal rights.

And for the tiny donation, he lost his job. He's unfit for employment in tech, it seems, unless he's the owner of the company. That is a chilling effect. Suddenly people who aren't perfectly in alignment with, again, the loudest voices, have to choose their every word (and donation) perfectly or risk losing their livelihood.

Consider that there are fiscal conservatives who think that we don't get nearly enough value from our tax dollars, so we should reduce taxes. Can they donate to conservative causes without losing their jobs?

Can you imagine the insanity if voting records got leaked?
Last time I checked, both Delaware and Nevada were tax-free up to $1M revenue. However, franchise tax depended on the amount of C-Corp shares (i.e. instead of paying $250 for an LLC one could end up paying $70k for a C-Corp). And for your personal taxes it depends on the agreement between the US and your home country. In the worst case you'd have to pay both if there is no agreement.

Benefits of Turmeric
Turmeric and especially its most active compound curcumin have many scientifically-proven health benefits, such as the potential to prevent heart disease, Alzheimer's and cancer. It's a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant and may also help improve symptoms of depression and arthritis.
It contains properties that contribute to a natural glow
Turmeric contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory components. These characteristics may provide glow and luster to the skin. Turmeric may also revive your skin by bringing out its natural glow.
It can heal wounds
The curcumin found in turmeric can help wounds heal by decreasing inflammation and oxidation. It also lowers the response of your body to cutaneous wounds. This results in your wounds healing more quickly.
There’s a difference between “This is the version of English that I want to learn because it is well-respected,” and “I am going to tell you that you are wrong because your version of English is not well-respected.”
This has been said a few times in the past. But as long as the public sees MS, Sony, and Nintendo selling TV-connected game boxes, they will be competitors, regardless of what corporate priorities are.
It is a scam. It's a sophisticated scam. I thought I was buying an item. I was giving the seller a free options contract, valued at a few hundred dollars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valuation_of_options

Price jumped up by a $150, and I never got my item. I needed the item and not receiving it resulted in a couple hundred bucks of damages. If price had gone down a hundred bucks, I would have overpaid by that much.

The seller, by the way, did charge my card. It was marked as shipped. The seller issued a refund on the day it was supposed to arrive, claiming it was "lost in trucking." Many other buyers had their orders "lost in trucking" too from reviews of that and other sellers.

My opinion is that Amazon should have made the seller fulfill the orders. At the time I ordered, several items were available at the same price. At the time I was to receive the order, price had gone up $150. It's not like the seller couldn't have fulfilled it; they would have just taken a loss to do so.

I'll mention this isn't the only time I got scammed on Amazon this year; just the most clever scam.
Oh and it's even easier when they make the seller pay for their fuck ups and for fraud - it's peanuts for Amazon :)
Why couldn't you just search for where that enum is referenced and add the cases?
It didn't seem buggy at the time but you wouldn't want it on the public internet with all its security bugs.

It would be nice if Microsoft just backported security improvements and other kernel type stuff without messing with UI.
This is a decent and sensible question IMO, barkingcat (downthread) provides a reasoned answer that seems to fit, but the question is good .. so why did the person feel the need to use a throwaway, and why is it downvoted. Unlike other questions it doesn't appear to be the sort of thing one ignorant of the answer could readily google for.

I know, we're not supposed to complain about downvotes but it just makes me sad that we - as a community - don't value honest questions.
Could not agree more. That's why I'm going to Rust next once done with my current F# project - I want to have experience with both JIT and AOT languages that support sum types and Option / Discriminated Unions.

These data types are much more powerful than the fancy arrays that wowed me back in the day :)
The UPS and Downs of Chip Manufacturing
Here is my most recent Amazon returns story.

I bought a $1200 commercial generator through Amazon. Delivered by truck about in about 10 days. It had several problems. Took it to the local authorized service center myself. They struggled with it for about a month.

Ultimately they had me call the manufacturer for a replacement. I tried but the manufacturer sent me to Amazon for a refund. I did so and Amazon refunded the full purchase price immediately.

The service center didn't care; they still had a defective generator on their hands and kept working on it with the manufacturer on my behalf despite the fact that I had gotten a full refund, which I made clear to them. Ultimately the manufacturer decided they wanted the unit returned for analysis by their engineers and drop shipped a replacement to me knowing perfectly well that I'd already received a refund.

The replacement works perfectly. I got a $1200 commercial generator for 'free.' I'd have rather just had the working product in the first place, and I still feel like I've cheated somehow despite the fact that I was entirely above board with everyone.
- I'm an international student in the US

- I'm going to start working full-time for a big US tech company.

Assuming I can get an H1B visa, how long does it usually take to get an employer-sponsored green card, from the time of filing of said green card?

Well they wouldn't be homeless if their government (and by extension society) would have taken care of them during a pandemic the likes of which we havent seen since the early 1900’s. As we did in Europe because you know being patriotic doesn't mean bombing nations in the name of freedom while throwing your fellow people under the bus first sign of trouble. So yes, I would like many of the new homeless americans to be given the chance of a new life in an EU country of their choosing.
AFAIK it does extend the i-94 but you still need a visa stamp to reenter the US
Tuhao Gold[1] is not exactly fun either.

I assume it was downvoted because it attempts to reduce a complex issue down to a single dimension while providing nothing of substance for the OP. It's also misinformed, by creating the false dichotomy of saving a tiger or saving a forest, and by ignoring that wildlife conservation is a lightning rod for public support that leads to wider initiatives.

A Federal Blue Checkmark, and Not Learning Lessons
Stainless doesn't corrode, but it tends to corrode any other metal it touches. Depends on alloys and a bunch of other factors, but all stainless isn't the answer either.
Ad hominems are not useful dialectically either.

Your emotionalism is leading you away from the truth, which will lead to bad reasoning and, therefore, bad outcomes.

Edit:

"Look, the fact is that meritocratic beliefs eventually boil down to eugenics and race realism at some point."

This is one place, among many, where your reasoning is faulty. This may be a limiting case of meritocracy (I am not committing to that, but I can see the argument). But I am not arguing for pure meritocracy. Rather I am arguing for giving both luck and merit proportional consideration, and varying that proportion over success curves. This is more complex than the manichean viewpoint you are arguing, but I believe it conforms with reality more closely.

I oppose both eugenics as well as racial reasoning (race is such a broad genetic category as to be meaningless in most discussions) on both logical and religious grounds.
I just don't see this happening anytime soon. Streaming services have gotten impressive and I'm sure they'll see some widespread adoption but consoles will remain a superior experience and viable market for awhile.

Aside - is it even physically possible for a streaming service to have low enough latency for VR gameplay?
Maybe the other way around. Your link says Qube came out in 1998. The G4 Cube came out in 2000.

My quote is one of a few in that article where he specifically calls out the BLS data as untrustworthy as a whole. He's absolutely not just taking issue with journalists.

He makes the complaint you identified, that the journalist are misreporting figures. But then he says that the labor department is intentionally misleading people. He then complains about how seasonal adjustments shouldn't be applied, when is maybe fair, but the difference is literally a rounding error between the two -- 1.4 million (seasonally adjusted) vs 1.4 million (unajusted).

He then proceeds to say that the BLS civilian labor force numbers can't be trusted. Discusses how "fraudulant claims" are inflating numbers. Then provides his own figure (sourced from BLS) is more accurate than the, "nonsense produced these days by the Bureau of Labor Statistics."
well yeah of course d3 is not a general purpose dom manipulation tool.
> I don’t really understand the anti cancellers perspective, to be honest.

It's about mobbing onto someone online to shame him or her. Large numbers of people pile on top of someone causing great psychological harm. Shaming doesn't work, and especially not at this level. It might work when used in limited fashion to educate children, but public shaming has been abandoned by history as a bad practice.
That still doesn’t explain it. There’s no obvious product reason why Netscape should have won compared to Spyglass. Bill Gates talking about product-market fit when Windows and Office’s success based on illegally leveraging the DOS monopoly, is particularly rich.

There are multiple studies that have compared luck with skill, and luck is always the dominate factor. You can event simulate wealth concentration with fair coin flips. https://github.com/jonathankoren/oligarchy-game

Most damningly there (which sadly I can not find right now) where the university created a bandcamp like site, and has people listen to the bands, and recommend them to each other. The idea being that the most talented bands would be the most successful (plays, stars, whatever). The twist was that they A/B tested the community. (For example if there were 1000 listeners, they were split into two 500 person groups, with no interactions between them.) They found the most important factors determining success were random.
Hear here! I'm reminded of Freud's "Civilization and Its Discontents", wherein he expands his ideas about psychopathology to civilization as a whole. Tellingly, psychologists call what what you describe "splitting"[0], and, increasingly, that's what society is doing in the United States.

But how could you have written tests against that new enum value if it didn't exist before? You would need to know in advance which places needed to be tested for it.
Building contrived tests which "prove" the performance of C# in the face of mountains of evidence to the contrary is on a much different scale from emulating an entire complicated hardware system.
I was gifted one of these long after they hit their EOL. I plan to turn it into a normal x86-64 box since the form factor.. with just a minor bit of dremel work, should fit an ITX board.

Most of the 'staunch liberals' I know select companies that align with their values.

In aerospace everything like that is traceable and calibrated on a schedule. Traceable means that there is paper work that shows what it was calibrated against. Which itself is traceable to a NIST standard. The difference between traceable and ordinary measurement equipment is a couple of extra $.

Put is this way one time I found a set of hex torque drivers with cal stickers on them at a surplus place. So when I say everything I do mean everything. So yeah a feeler gauge should be traceable.

A raffle is a game of chance. You "buy into" the raffle and get a ticket that goes into a hat or bowl. The person doing the raffle chooses a ticket at random and the person that owns that ticket is the winner.

sydd above said "small, dubious news sites and started popping up which praised Putin so much I thought it was a joke. Same thing happened in conspiracy sites - a few years earlier they content was about UFOs, lizard men, angels etc. and suddenly political articles praising Putin started appearing in them"

I don't think making a better argument had anything to do with the rise of this and it will have very little with pushing it back down.
