Symptoms could easily indicate a disk problem, rather than a Windows problem. You might have a defective sector that's difficult to read, in an important place in the filesystem that Windows often needs to read.

Typical consumer drives have long error timeouts, during which they will try and try and try again to read a defective sector. Assuming it eventually succeeds, no error gets flagged anywhere—not even in the SMART data.

Thanks but I already wrote the code and after catching a couple gotchas with the validation tool it's fully compliant now.

My point was not that GPX is hard (it's not) but that when something is open source most of the time you have to put some elbow grease in it because no one is paid to make it polished.

FWIW, it took me less time to write the GPX export code than to look for a binary of the validation tool, fail, then launch WSL and compile the goddam tool.

I'm not defending this thought process, and I disagree with it, but I can at least understand.

You basically have two levels of recourse against the state for redress of grievances: elections and litigation. You absolutely can, and I believe every major corporation should have, sued the NSA and the larger federal government post-Snowden. I'm not a lawyer so I don't know the specifics of what that would have looked like but it seemed like a pretty egregious violation of a whole list of rights. But litigation, especially against an intelligence agency, seems a little quixotic in this context.

Elections don't seem like they'd have much impact against the NSA. They're not elected officials, and only the top leadership is appointed. Most of them are career bureaucrats (I don't necessarily mean that in a negative way) and scientists/mathematicians. You could replace a third of the Senate and the entire House every 24 months and you're not going to get sweeping changes throughout the NSA. From a national security, somewhat hawkish perspective, that might be a feature rather than a bug? But from a civil liberties/freedom perspective it's definitely a concern.
Don’t worry, the American spirit of liberty and free market capitalism is alive and well. It’s just that most Americans are busy getting things done instead of planning everyone’s lives for them on twitter or HN.

I vehemently disagree.

I used to tutor for Chegg tutors on the side--outside my main job. They paid ~$20/hr and for 5-10 hours I week I could bring in some extra money for food and rent.

They shut it down in my state because they reclassified them as employees, and Chegg was not going to do all that leg work to bring people on as part-time employees.

I didn't need benefits like sick days or unpaid leave since it was just a gig I did online for extra money. I didn't need health insurance, since my main job provided that. I didn't need job security that was provided by the inability to fire people.

I was just trying to make some extra money online.

And now I can't because Big Government decided I can't.

You know who it really hurts? The kids I was tutoring. Now there is a huge tutor shortage and kids that need help aren't getting it. There was ALREADY a tutor shortage before they cut off several states from being tutors.

It's telling that Uber/Lyft drivers weren't the ones asking for this. They were fine the way they are. No Uber/Lyft driver was saying "Wouldn't it be nice if we were REAL employees??".

> But the way I think about it, "rights" are not encoded in the laws of physics. They are social constructs.

There's a long history of reasoning (i.e. logic) from first principles how to best establish communities, for example Rousseau's 1762 work, The Social Contract.

Some key arguments that Rousseau expounds:

* force does not create right; we are only obligated to obey legitimate powers

* everyone is free (because we each give up the same rights and have the same duties imposed, e.g. around property rights)

* absurd for someone to surrender freedom for slavery

There are underlying commonalities between Rousseau's work and intellectual artifacts from other cultures, such as "reciprocity" expressed by Confucius in Analects: "do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you". This concept of reciprocity is also echoed in the Christian doctrine of the golden rule.

> Therefore different societies can come up with a different and even conflicting set of "rights".

Do you not think that there are universal human rights?

> In 1983, Esquire commissioned journalist Tom Wolfe to write a piece on Robert Noyce for its anniversary issue, which would profile 50 Americans who had a profound and positive impact on American life during Esquire’s 50 years of existence. The magazine featured other famous writer-subject pairings, a piece by Kurt Vonnegut on Jackson Pollock and another by Norman Mailer on Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. But Wolfe’s “The Tinkerings of Robert Noyce” would have a unique legacy. One historian called it “perhaps the most celebrated piece of journalism about Silicon Valley” and maintained more than 30 years after its publication that “it still stands as the most famous description of Intel and its singular corporate culture.”

I agree in the broad sense, but this isn't entirely true.

Feature-wise, Next does seem like a superset of Gatsby, especially since it can support server, static and hybrid rendering models. Architecturally, Gatsby does have some advantages. They're not ones that are particularly important to me, but I don't think it's fair to ignore them:

- The plugin model is more sophisticated, and there's a huge ecosystem of them which can solve most common use cases.

- The ability to use a unified data graph means page invalidation and rebuilds upon data changes can be done automatically at a very granular level -- because it's possible to keep track of which pages would be affected by every piece of data.

I'd add that I have issues with both, which leads me more to Next.js because it has a lower level of vendor lock-in compared to Gatsby. Anecdotally, migrating a small site from Gatsby to Next.js replaced 150 Gatsby-related imports with 10 Next.js ones.

I've always found this concept interesting, and more generally the idea of community-based currencies. Time-based currency has a history [1] of attempted implementations, many of which don't leverage the community aspect here.

A large part of why I find these ideas interesting is related to the legal system used by the Romani [2],where failure to comply with the rules set forward results in exile. Because of their reliance on community, members are incentivized to follow the rules because exile would be incredibly detrimental to an individual's livelihood. I feel as though time credits work on a similar principle: that your efforts will be recognized in your community, but a lack of good faith will result in those time credits being worthless.

I weigh my UPS battery every year and compare it to the original weight that I had printed with a label maker. Over the battery lifetime (2-3 years), there had been around a dozen switchovers, and the only reason of failure I could think of is the electrolyte evaporating because of a warm interior of the UPS.
This gives me an idea, of how much water is lost, and at a certain cutoff, I just replace the battery.

If that happened regularly and widely it would be quite obvious because 40-50% of eligible voters vote. So there could be as much as a 40% chance that the person whose ballot you forged also tried to vote and is either turned away or submits a provisional ballot or complaint.

This would create a record that could then be used to examine the signature on the ballot and charge the person with voter fraud.

Note: not many states have changed their laws on vote by mail this year, so theoretical VBM fraud could have been done by submitting fraudulent ballot applications in most past elections too. The main difference this year is more voters are expected to use the no-excuse absentee ballot that was already available to them in other years.

This is a pretty disgusting thing to say. You realize slaves were forced to work for no pay, could not change companies, could not even leave company property, and were physically beaten when they refused to work? This does not describe Uber drivers at all.

>sql alternative #1427904 that absolutely nobody will ever use

Love it or hate it, sql is a standard and there is a ton of knowledge (stackoverflow answers, books, tutorials) and tooling (query builders, orms). This is either hopelessly naive, or hopelessly arrogant.
Of course time is money, the benefit for some people though is that their time is then credited at a fairer rate of exchange than the normal employment way of crediting time, at the same time that it allows them to monetize things that would otherwise be difficult to monetize.

However for someone like me whose time is credited more than most by the employment system it seems like it would be a losing proposition to do things for time credits instead of money.

Somebody at work just stepped a Microsoft Dynamics "integration". The network admin is trying to recover the integration database from a snapshot.
