Should remove any intervention in content unless it is against the law. It is not their job and they are not capable to decide what is misinformation and what is not. In most cases it is more a matter of opinion than facts and even facts are not that clear always. Just let people put what they want and decide what they believe and what not.
There is also the realization that money is being devalued. Stocks in profitable and growing companies are more valuable than this money that is being printed. The companies are productive capacity.

Not all companies and stocks are doing well. Just look at airlines, retailers, etc... They are the losers in the new economy.
All the settlements on Antarctica are utterly dependent on enormous support frequently airlifted from outside. There have been no settlements underwater at all; little more than camping trips have been essayed.

On Venus, plastics, carbon fiber, water, buoyancy gas, and breathing air (I repeat myself) can be made directly from the air and clouds. Plastic and carbon fiber gives you building materials. Robots can gather minerals from the surface and deliver them by balloon to the cloud tops. Insolation provides abundant power, moreso than here; or, a lightweight, unshielded nuke plant may be suspended a mile or more below industrial plant, supported on its own balloon.

Mars will be much more unpleasant than Antarctica. We don't even know whether people can live for long in Mars gravity. We know that long weightlessness is quite harmful.
The point is pretty incoherent then, because they're proving that indeed it's reasonable for the federal judiciary to have a larger budget and thus not demonstrating that comparing budgets leads to absurdity.
Hypercard remains extraordinary. It anticipated the web, but have a taste of its scripting language:

if the number of chars in field "Customer Code" is not 7 then
ask "Please type in the 7-letter customer code"
put it into field "Customer Code"
end if

This is a real language! 'ask' pops up a modal dialog. 'it' is a special identifier meaning "the last result", like Perl's context variables.

But what is most lovely about this language is that it focused on users. As a user you could drag out a button, then double click and write some Hypertalk scripting. It was part of a vision where computing would empower amateurs to become desktop publishers or artists or programmers or...

The web captured that magic for a time, when it was about HTML with light JS. But the modern web has advanced beyond the amateur.
Yes, asynchronous communication is the key. The synchronous communication is conducted sparingly in opensource projects. Say, once per month (video conference).
Linux has flags that allow disabling mitigations to get performance back. MacOS and Windows probably have the same. Pretty much the only thing that is running unauthenticated workloads on my dev machine are my browser and mail client. Is there a way to disable the mitigation’s globally but enable them per process? I don’t mind much getting a 10-30% performance hit on browsing, but I do mind when compiling/testing things.
A single ontology would level the search/structured-web playing field. Right now Google has a huge advantage because they leverage their ML/NN knowledge and funding to "extract" structured information from the unstructured web. New players just can't do that without a lot of time & funding, which wouldn't be the case if a lot of the data was in a structured and agreed-upon format/schema.
"Identify this public servant" isn't against the law. I for one want strong third party oversight of our police from the public and from journalists. Police should be identifiable and although they didn't phrase it very nicely, the request isn't illegal.
Setting Up Redux for Use in a Real-World Application
It would be hard to be leader without having leaders in the field at your disposal. There are literally 20,000 papers getting published each year. While stunning gains are being reported every month, it would be very hard for you to identify good implementable papers with state of the art results unless you are active in the field. Many of the techniques are amalgamation of other dozen techniques. So its even more harder to add/subtract from a given paper to productize the results. Keeping up with these papers and techniques is literally a full time job which is why you need researchers at your disposal if you are working on these problems. Unfortunately, researchers are almost never willing to just give up research and become your next engineering dude. They are in the field because they love research, freedom and can publish. So the viable way is to have a research lab which you can tap into on demand and have options for rotations. Many people believed that this can be done without having your own research lab but that doesn't often work out. If you approach a researcher in academia for consulting, you have to count on them being free from academic duty, grad students and other commitments. They will typically do 80/20. If you have your own research lab, you can turn this around to 20/80.
Did I say it's good? I know exactly what it is. It's a radical expansion of fed credit. What are the consequences? Well, do you think things are better?

USD expansion is not going to be a big issue for a while.

A social technology that reduces social involvement and psychological wellbeing? (1998)
That's not weird is it? I'd expect a normal, peaceful society to have less need for soldiers than police agents, and portugal is approximately as large as NYC, and not as wealthy: makes sense their military is smaller than NYC's police. I'd expect it to be smaller than their police force too (no idea if that's true, though).

A quick google suggests 50k police officers and 33k soldiers - pretty unsurprising.
They knew in 1998
I am not really disagreeing with you but one should add that bad smell is not necessarily a good indicator for what is unhealthy.. there are many poisonous gases without any smell (also emitted by cars).
That's not a convincing argument, because it's pretty reasonable for a several orders of magnituge wealthier country to outspend a smaller economy on all kinds of stuff (including their entire GDP).

Do you have a better example?
> they turn the issue into a way to assert their own importance and intellect over someone else at the expense of those they work with.

This is exactly what the auditor is doing.

How can you not see the irony here?

> I don't need some coworker getting into some drawn out battle

This isn't a drawn out battle. This is a really fast one, md5 is fine here, you didn't check the context of its use, thats fine, whats the next item on your list?

Whats fucking hard about that?

Is this some kind of weird cultural thing with American schooling teaching kids they can't question authority?
Is there any evidence for lower rate of IP generation? The same argument was made for open offices as well and has proven false.

Similar to the studies with brainstorming where people doing it in a group come up with fewer and less diverse ideas than people brainstorming individually and collating the results.
If my employer told me, that I could do the same, work from home, but have to buy my IT stuff and other things myself, I'd gladly do that, up to the point of approximately 1/6 of my wage, perhaps more. The point is, that it would save me so much time, that the cost is easily justified.
In Covid-19 times I don't need to wear a mask at home and I don't need to be worried about not wearing one. I can have lunch in peace, without worrying about aerosols hitting my food.
Narrow it down to 21-50 year old men with no serious existing health conditions, no Asian heritage and no religious alcohol restriction and I bet it looks more like 90% rather than 75%.
> Both illegal and legal immigrant groups have lower incarceration rates than native born Americans. So, whenever a right-wing pundit says that immigration is to blame for crime rising, there likely is statistical fuckery or outright lies.

I needed an example and honestly made up one- I had no idea of the situation in the US and I find these statistics very interesting, thanks!

The reason I chose this particular example is because in Italy- where I'm from- the statistics are the total opposite: more than 1/3 of all inmates are foreigners, with some ethnicities wildly over-represented in proportion to their share in the population. The connection between immigration and crime rates is one of the most used right-wing arguments and topic of contention between left and right in Italy.
> “ According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), air pollution kills an estimated seven million people worldwide every year and nine out of 10 people breathe air with high levels of pollutants.”

This is approximately half the deaths we would expect worldwide if no country was to do anything and we’d let COVID-19 rage through our societies.

Why is our response to air pollution so drastically different then? We don’t even implement a single day lockdown to reduce pollution for a single day. I’m sure air pollution also disproportionately affects young children and damages their lungs as opposed to Coronavirus.

This world is so weird.

There's more. Vibration and electromagnetic emissions (TEMPEST) are also viable side channels. Or ultrasound in speakers to cross airgaps.
I am following the financials of Tesla closely, and while I am a huge supporter of Tesla, I know how much the company keeps a delicate balance with financials. Yes, currently the stock price of Tesla is overvalued, but right now, they have the opportunity of raising a lot more cash, when the stocks enter the S&P 500, by issuing more stocks. However, with a stock that volatile, this needs to be done with care.

Forcing Musk to sell off a substantial part of his stock could disrupt the stock value significantly and of course means, that Musk influence in the company would be significantly decreased. The control could end up with "investors" and financing organisations, which have ruined more than one company already.
Well, I criticized printing money to pay a basic income. Which means from now on the Fed will print trillions every year.

If you're not trying to fight deflation that would only increase the inflation rate.

And what would happen when the USD expansions becomes a problem? Would the Fed stop printing money.

Am I the only one who noticed the headline and article say completely contradictory things?
My biggest struggles with Physics are psychological.

Because of how the universe works, if you fire a gun and drop a bullet from the same height they both reach the ground at the same time.

Maybe it's because I have a cartoonish version of physics in my head, my first instinct is "no that can't be right" and I start from a place of extreme skepticism that gnaws at me even as I watch myself being proved wrong.

The other common struggle I face is that so much of the physics you learn at a basic level comes with caveats like "assuming no air resistance" or "in a vaccuum" or "at sea level" and perfect weights and I end up wondering how futile all of it seems because in reality I'll never be able to apply this stuff the way it's being presented. If I have to actually apply it - I'd have to start thinking all the possible ways in which the system can be affected, then measure those ways and add them to my calculation.

Then I feel overwhelmed by all the possible things I would need to factor in. Did I forget friction? Is this surface 100% horizontal? Is it windy right now? Am I really at sea level? I feel like the street I'm on is 30m higher.

Then I start thinking about the practicality of measuring things. Even if I eventually learned all of the physics in theory, if I was one of the last 100 people on Earth and the person with the best physics knowledge, could I use it to build even something as simple as a bridge? How precise would my tools need to be? Is it ok for my execution to be off by 0.1 degree? Is that too much of an error? How would I even know?

With programming I feel like there are more opportunities to blackbox things and focus on building practical solutions, whereas with the material world I would have to worry about whether I got a faulty batch or whether the manufacturer was reputable or whether I should have spent more money on a better manufacturer. By comparison it feels incredibly inaccessible to do anything tangible with.
A fun fact though: beer, milk and orange juice pretty much have the same calorie density. This is why I drink mostly water, very little milk and orange juice and hopefully not too much beer.
If Facebook goes away another service takes it place. That's the nature of capitalism. Unless the concept of social media is explicitly outlawed then how does that solve anything?
It won't feel right if you're trying to fit in the same way, because you fundamentally are lacking the necessary attributes to do so (drunkeness, lack of clothes), but that doesn't matter if you don't feel a need to fit in. If you have any interest in people-watching, or perhaps one might call such interests anthropologist tendencies, things are fine. Observe, interact and join conversation or events as you please.

Besides, most people are multi-dimensional, even if you don't fit in on this thing, you might fit in on another axis. Why are you even with the group to begin with? Focusing on that will be more important for social bonding than focusing on joining or not in alcoholic drinks.
Oh my lol

For me personally, I do not like the idea of impairing my cognitive functions. And I have done very cringy things while drunk. I regret it every time the following day. Bad sleep, anxiety, depression afterwards. Unproductive following day. Unnecessary calories. Setbacks in gym. So many reasons, honestly.
This is the forth-is-my-chisel vs node-js-is-my-glue-gun worldview collision. It's bigger than vi-or-emacs, it's older than functional-vs-procedural. There's no bridging it with contextual examples.
Is it the source of hate campaigns though? Or is it the medium the hate campaigns are using to spread their message? Because I believe it's the latter, and if you ban it, the hate campaigns don't vanish, they just start using other mediums.
Drinking helps people bond which is why people like it. You don't have to drink all the time to get that benefit, just a small bit sometimes to break the ice. Beer is pretty good once you get used to it, the taste completely transforms.
Statement from Yale Faculty on Hydroxychloroquine and Its Use in Covid-19
Absolutely! Let me also put other things in perspective:
1. Any “investment” is basically putting your resources in the hands of others (planners, CEOs of other companies etc) in the hopes that they can manage the money better than you. This is a conclusion only if you don’t believe you can manage the resources. Are you sure of this?
2. Why not invest in yourself? Depending on your life situation- getting into a good school, a good network/club, a good society might actually be a better payoff!
3. Building a startup might give you a much better reward if you are so inclined. The opportunity cost is very real (again depends on your life situation)
4. If you know where you’ll live for a foreseeable future AND if you tend to be shaken by market events, buying a house might be better (people don’t generally sell off their house so they tend to let their investment compound inadvertently!).
5. Investing in new experiences like doing an internship (no regard for pay) in fields you are interested in might open up new avenues.

I firmly believe that only when you are clear on your goal and having invested in oneself and having thought of everything else should you get to the problem of whether a particular etf is better or whatever.
According to Wikipedia it's the biggest environmental health risk factor that may kill 8.8 million people annually (March 2019), which definitely puts it up there, but hypertension probably still kills more people (9.4 mil, 2010).

It's hard to compare an environmental risk factor with actual diseases, but I don't think you can really argue that it's the biggest "health crisis" by any metric. Anxiety for example is still the most debilitating disease worldwide. It's still pretty bad though, which I didn't realize before looking into it, but the usual suspects are still worse in terms of health.
Well, this proposal is just as stupid as Trump saying he would cover the wall with solar panels.

Actually if I had to choose, I'd pick the solar panels. At least it would provide some work and it wouldn't turn to ashes most US companies.
> game theory says

I'm curious as to what you base this statement on. Game theory is modeling of strategic interaction between two or more players in a situation containing set rules and outcomes. Did you create the actual model? Is there an insight you mind sharing?
You can look left and right while gently rolling through there is no need to come to a full stop in many cases.
Many teams at Apple are pure junk. When Steve Jobs basically fired iCloud folks in public, lot of people thought he went too far but little they knew how bad that team really was and still is. These folks are now center of the Apple universe but can't build a simple app that can efficiently sync the photos on Windows. Other teams are iTunes (one of the worst widely deployed Windows app ever), Apple Music (just look at the obscene UX - in 2020), App Store (good luck deleting installed app if you have too many of them - in 2020) and of course auto-correct (fails to fix spellings in 2020 that MS Word 2000 used to fix!). Surprisingly these folks have kept up with mediocracy regardless of otherwise stringent culture at Apple.
It's like how dog owners aren't concerned over by what environmental damage their pets do, how people buying the latest Samsung phones aren't bothered by how the batteries are mined by children, or how Americans don't care about how disproportionately their lives consume the planet's resources.

I assume you're not guilty of anything that brings harm to other people.
This list is barely updated. New texts and standards have emerged, and gives no insight as to how to develop the analytical skills. Just a list of books won't do.
you missed an important purpose of stop signs which is to make a route less appealing to motorists in the first place. ultimately this is necessary if the volume of traffic is ever to be reduced.
This is happening increasingly on HN as election nears.

I don't really see how billionaires being rich is a problem either. The problem isn't that some people are rich, it's that other people are poor. I'm much more interested in solutions that make people not poor than ones that make people not rich. Deleting Jeff Bezos's wealth from the world tomorrow isn't going to make anyone any better off, and it'd be quite likely to make a lot of people worse off.

The real problem with our tax system is that equity capital skirt's the income tax, because it is illiquid. Jeff Bezos doesn't pay almost no income tax because the top tax bracket is too low. He pays very little income tax because he doesn't sell his stock, and that allows it to compound, tax-free. The tax-free compounding provided by long term asset holding in the United States is an incredible gift to capital, that labor does not receive - labor is paid a salary, upon which they are taxed every year. People who own capital assets that they do not sell receive the full 'time value' of their money, which adds up to an enormous amount if held over many years.

Address this issue, and you will address a major source of inequality. While you're at it, get rid of the tax break for 'long term capital gains', its based on some paternalistic false premise that "long term" investing is somehow good.

These things won't get rid of inequality, but they would meaningfully reshape the process that produces it, and they would do so in ways that preserve fundamental notions of fairness and property, in a way that Bernie Sander's proposal does not. We don't want a government that simply randomly expropriates property from targeted slivers of the population who happen to be unpopular at the moment. We want a government based on principle and system design. The real problem with Sander's proposal isn't that it's a stunt. It's that it contravenes principles of good governance. It's a hack, not a principle.

There was a time when the Toshiba laptops were the top priority for laptops and it is strange how the turntables.
Isn't this a problem with policies rather than cultural? If it was cultural then there wouldn't be such inventions in the first place and legendary bike and car companies.

What I feel is this is because policy created which reduces competition and increases monopoly. It is hard to find companies now which can be started with like Soichiro Honda or like Akio Morita and Masaru Ibuka now. This trend is going on everywhere.
> More like $200K I would say (base + equity).

Also $200K is on a higher end and depends on other offers, etc. Average is around $180K.
There are probably a few, but "who likes him today" isn't necessarily a good predictor for how they're considered in the future. Plenty of people weren't liked much in their time but have lots of fans today.

I do. Despite the amount of pressure he has on him, he’s done better with trying to support free speech than I would expect most people have have done.

I blame most of Facebook’s missteps on the aggregate decisions of many FB employees that have less conviction on free speech than he does.

No company the size of Facebook could achieve a perfect response in real-time. Facebook’s greatest challenge is being headquartered in a place that is an ideological echo chamber chamber with not enough diversity of thought politically.
With lower net worths, billionaires would have less political power and wouldn't be able to influence politicians to create terrible laws and regulations like we have today which allow these billionaires to accumulate even more wealth and power and exclude competition.
That's the problem which most voters care about now. Nobody actually cares about what happens to the CEOs of these megacorps. Personally I don't care if they all get thrown in jail.
This is why it would be only fair if there was regulation that said that a car's exhaust must end in the cabin.
The balcony of the flat where I live at is unusable because of the major street next to it. There's this same greasy dust everywhere. My guess is that it is soot, covered with unburnt hydrocarbons, from car or oil heating exhaust. It's really disgusting. I have resigned long ago to not let plants intended for consumption grow there...
This is true, and I don't object to this description. Like I said, I'm a grumpy old man.
