That's a strange name/label for an awesome feature.
Yeah, I don't buy any of that.

Why would a programmer, artist, schoolteacher, hairdresser, restaurant owner need to travel any great distance from their village or town?

Most people in the world already live in cities... and they like them. They like looking at other people, smelling them, ranking and comparing them, copying them. They like the convenience of being able to get around easily, have other people cook food for them or play music for them.

The inevitable and obviously viewable consequence of people moving out of cities is that they create noisy, polluting, long-distance commuting sprawl: exactly the opposite of cleaner air and less light and sound pollution.

In order to move back away from the existing situation of an earth riven by roads the incursion of humans into ever smaller fragments of natural ecosystems we need to reduce the population and concentrate it in cities.

This¹ is mostly concentrating on tropical rainforest destruction but the same is true nearly everywhere: more and more roads are built in order to service human desires (cheap wood, grazing or (in EU and NA) solitude and privacy.

It can't go on.

You're right, but it's actually even more specific than that, you have to look at the life expectancy of a frail 80-year old living at an elder care facility suffering from diabetes/hypertension/heart problems. Not that of a random, healthy, 80-year old.

The biggest disingeniousness of the people talking about the covid-19 specific death toll is that the assumption is that if not for covid-19, everyone would have lived forever and ever, and that's simply not true. Looking at the demographics of the dead, for many, covid-19 is what happened to push them over. If not for covid-19, something else would have done it in a similar timeframe, especially since the flu seasons of 2018/19 and 2019/20 were so mild.

Yes, there are people who died significantly before their time, but they're a small minority of the dead. So 10 QALY lost per dead is way too much. 1 QALY lost per dead is too little, I agree. The truth is probably somewhere in between.

>ecause they "skip" on mathematical detail, often leading to more confusion down the line. I personally enjoyed the books I write down below to learn "rigorous physics":

That is possibly because it would require too much space to explain those concepts in greater detail. The books are already very long even when skimping on the details.

I've written lots of small things. Some of them maybe used love as an excuse to explore some interesting idea.

For valentines day once I wrote a stupid little hack in javascript where some hearts bounce around the screen and leave trails. I sent it to a bunch of girls including one that I really liked.

I have this penpall in Germany, at one point we were really close and would talk all the time. Before bed we would always send eachother long strings of something (it was Sl[eE]*p for a while, then when emojis became popular it was the sheep emoji) so I made her a little clock with sheep around it.

I probably was sexting more than I should. I used to not keep a pin on my phone (it's so inconvenient and on android you don't even need a lock screen) so to keep the kids at church from going through everything I wrote a little web page that lets you encrypt images along with a text note and generate a data: URI that has a tiny (homebrew! yikes!) RC4 implementation to decrypt them. The whole thing was entirely client side and kind of nifty IMO. I think I got one person to use it once. I ended up finding some ugly bugs in the application (not that it mattered, it's RC4 heh) for example the original version always included an image (it would be a black png that was always the same size if you didn't add one yourself.) So if someone sends a text note with no image and then sends an image using the same password you could decrypt the first few hundred bytes of the secret image without knowing the password.

There was a girl in college I was dating and I made her a display hack in GLSL that draws a 3d flower using the cosin rose. It was rendered by relating the fragment brightness to the distance of a bunch of points in orthographically projected 3d space. The whole thing unfolded from a single bright blob and as time went on the points would move across each other making this pulsating pattern that got more and more intense until the whole thing shrank back into the single bright point. I added some code to the viewer that would check the phone's accelerometer/gyroscope so when you moved the phone around the flower would move too which give it this pretty intense VR feel.

At another point in college I was dating this other girl, it seemed like we would be apart for a while and she didn't like video games so I wrote a chess program that would let us play over text by sending moves in algebraic notation (you could also play it on the same computer, it would even check argv[0] for "cgi" and give you a web interface.) I thought I had written something pretty minimalist and was all proud of myself until I found the 4k chess program for z80.
Ohh.. I didn't know it could be done on a per-user basis.

Thanks a lot!
Author of NGS here. Ask me anything about the feature or NGS in general.
I think there is a risk of coming across as inflexible. A good manager adapts to the needs / strengths of their team members, and publishing a "this is how we do things here, deal with it" memo might send the wrong message.
As a European, I thought I had a basic understanding of the dynamics of racism in the U.S. until a friend of mine from Mississippi recomended I should watch "Free State of Jones".

That film made me realize in a shocking and eye-opening way, how much more of a "fresh wound" race issues are in the US comparing with other places in the world with different history and timelines.

That’s just the first of the what if’s I ask.

Next would be, are they up for removal of all subsidies / free programs (e.g., SNAP / food stamps)?

How can health care costs be addressed with fixed UBI?

I can see UBI succeeding or at least not failing in countries like Canada since healthcare costs are zero for individuals, no matter how poor or moneyless they are.

Without having a similar Healthcare system, how can UBI be even implemented?

Ps: I’m neither strongly for/against UBI yet, but curious to see how it can solve the problem. I just have a lot of unanswered questions when asking them to UBI supporters.

Indeed, I thought that might be what you meant … but that opens the Finder search window for me, so I think that that shortcut also is not universal. Probably some of these differ depending on whether you've got a fresh install or an updated system that may carry along shortcuts from an older release.

Real name policies may (or may not) foster civil discourse, but they do so in a way that favors the already privileged.
It's a burden for marginalized people and a barrier to them resolving their issues.

I was molested as a child and women generally tend to have less agency over their lives than men. When I first got online, I used my real first name and last name. I eventually moved to middle name and place as my default semi anonymous handle for privacy reasons because my first name plus last name is so distinctive. I'm back to using my full name online, though my handle in most places is first name plus middle name.

It was a long journey of getting there. It included a divorce, figuring out how to talk publicly -- which I think men tend to get inculcated with early and women don't -- and assorted other factors.

The perfect is the enemy of the good. If you only want civil discourse in your space and that's all that matters to you, you can achieve that by limiting it to very privileged people with no serious personal problems. Insisting on real names is a polite means to exclude anyone for whom speaking publicly under their real name might be a problem, so I'm sure it can help keep things superficially civil in your little corner of the universe.

I am also sure it helps further narrow the lives of people with already narrow existences by ever so politely silencing them online in ways they are already silenced offline. Which isn't actually all that kind, imo.

1. And I'm not talking about intent here (in the case of either remark—mine or yours). "You're really convinced about being right" is undeniably ad hominem.
Yeah, this is a big problem. I just searched "uighur" on comments... Some pretty appalling stuff, including stuff that seems to justify their genocide by accusing them of terrorism. Clearly something is wrong. Hopefully @dang will look at this at some point. We make a sport of busting FBs chops over policing disinfo, etc. And it looks like there are brazen actors on HN doing worse and we're ignoring it.

I agree that "coordination is hard" is the root issue here. For things I develop, it's easier for me to specifically say what permissions the IAM roles need, and I can get them down to least privilege.

Then sometimes I need to onboard an application written in a language I don't know, and it's a beast of an application. I ask the developer what permissions it needs, and they say "I don't know" but give me a full admin role they know works. I'd love to go through the whole process of determining what permissions it needs, except that I have deadlines, and they have deadlines, and our deadlines are visible to management, and I have additional projects that I need to finish, and my team is already too small. It's like the universe is just telling me to give the application full admin.

>"Everyone can learn physics" is a flat out lie to make other people feel better. Without a proper tutorium and insufferable fits of frustration it's only possible to learn such complex subjects on your own you if have the right mind (whatever that is) for it. That arrogance some people have saying "If I can do it, why can't you?!" is beyond tolerable.

But people find being told they cannot do something, also bad. Telling someone that they are not mart enough to do something is demoralizing even if it is grounded in reality. is it worse to tell someone they cannot do something, or give them false hope? It really depends on your ethical and value system. In the case of physics, the worst that happens is thy try it and get bored.

>It doesn't say how to learn physics

Looks nice. I am already very invested in YNAB at this point but this looks impressive. I’ve learned that I need automatic syncing for budgeting, otherwise I slowly give up because inputting transactions from multiple sources can be too time consuming for me. I’ve read that many people are the opposite and rely on manual entry for accountability but in my case a quick glance once or twice a week to reconcile my budgeting tool with spending accounts is all I need.
Whole Foods does. There's also bulk grain stores most everywhere there's "regular" grocery stores, but of course far fewer because there's little demand for such. Bulk goods also trivial to buy online.

I think you have that backwards.

There's enough land and natural resources in the US that not only can all of our citizens live, but there is so much extra besides that over half of all taxes are paid by 5% of our population.

Considering that right now many people are homeless, jobless, or without health insurance, we need to seriously consider the balance of power and wealth in the US. A better and more equitable society would address those problems in strong and comprehensive ways. If building that society scares away a billionaire or two, so be it; the US has enough wealth even without them.

Is this a joke? He wrote that he liked Arnold's and Wald's books. I have tried to study from typical physics undergrad books and was also missing some rigour which I would assume most people coming from a math background would appreciate more in introductory physics books. Arnold's book or also Spivak's book are much better in that regard.
I remember this from the classic Mac OS days (i.e. System 7) circa 1994. It’s probably even older than that.
Yeah, the SELinux approach reminds me of IAM - both hard. They need to build in a run code path with full permission propose minimal policy based on accesses seen.

The reality - everyone finds it MUCH quicker to give broad admin rights out otherwise.

One good thing - accounts - you can create an account, give admin to the consultant / outsourced IT group, still bill to org, they can do what they need without endless hassle of IAM. Anyone else using this - it's a pretty rough hammer but seems to work ok so people can get solutions spun up with some efficiency.

I don’t know from personal experience, but my impression is that it’s hard to know which startups are going to be high-profile before they’ve found exponential growth —- and once the bootstrapped company has that, the would-be copycat would be playing catch-up to a no-longer-bootstrapped company. Plus, as many copycat services as there are, it looks like the hard-to-copy team specifics make a big difference on the outcome.
