I'm missing the "trigger" piece of this since remote work kicked in. Any tips for effective work triggers when wfh are much appreciated. I've tried the common ones - designated work area, set schedule etc but I end up spending all day (apart from mtgs) surfing the web instead! ugh... I thought I mastered this in grad school

> Whether or not UPS wants the business is beside the point, and they currently cannot have it.

It's the entire point actually.

The key part of my post is:

> The day that UPS will be obligated... to deliver a letter for 55 cents

The USPS is forced to provide this service - at a ridiculously low price. The second that UPS and Fedex have to play by the same rules (By being forced to deliver negative-margin mail), they will stop being profitable.
Sure? Is the objection just that you'd prefer laws to social pressure?
I know enough not to do seek it out anymore but I will admit that some of the better conspiracy videos on youtube are pretty convincing if only because they take advantage of how your brain (system 1) decides truth. A lot of political documentaries work the same way.
One thing I couldn’t find is a live chat service that have React Native Expo support. I was shocked to find Intercom, Drift, and livechat not support them.

Could this possibly support it?

The local storage is great. Looks like the export to JSON and the local storage cache are one and the same meaning importing data should be straightforward as well.

Oh, I expect people come to HN to see interesting things.

"It would be nice to ..." may not fit into that category.

Anyway, as I understand it, on an A4 infographic, you'd be expecting to see one pie chart (H) taking up 3/4 of the page.

Almost all the other 1/4 of the page would be taken up by an He circle.

Then you'd have a (still recognisable as a circle) for Oxygen, at about 6mm wide, the next would be 4mm wide for Carbon.

After that I'd guess we're at ~1mm pie charts for Neon, Iron, Nitrogen.

After the first 7 pie charts, each subsequent pie chart would be the size of a pixel (or sub-mm on a printed page). So it'd look like a hundred or so tiny dots.

Have I misunderstand the visualisation you're describing?
I could imagine a collaboration effort from companies like Google, Intel, Nvidia, and Amazon that would reduce the risk to each individual company and result with big benefits. There's been a lot of talk lately about TSMC not being able to produce enough chips for demand. Sounds like the time to take the risk is better than previously.

(I'd also argue that there are benefits to having a fab lab closer to these companies headquarters)
It’s probably been undervalued for a long time. Not just fabs , hardware comp used to on par or higher than SW many years ago. Now it’s fallen behind on average. But eventually shock (eg trade embargo) will cause a correction
You're basically saying that we-all-together are a pile of unfixable trash (sorry if this summary is inexact). And yes, that aligns well with what I think about "us". But that's only when you look at it in stasis. This force that tfa represents is one of the forces that glues everything together. If not this "elitist bullshit", who would gonna go and prevent minds from leading into the opposite bullshit? It is easy to blame an apple for falling on your head, but had you turn off gravity, you'd left with not much time to regret.

I'm not even sympathetic to that hn jacquesm if that's him, but it's in our nature to fall into another bullshit pit right after someone pulls us from one. Discussing and questioning methods for balancing between the bullshits is important. You're just conflating that with an actual totalitarianism, because two vectors appear to be aligned atm.

Humanity has to make true information accessible (not only technically, but psychologically accessible, filtering out a complete bullshit noise that overscreams a signal). It's only ten+ years since we found ourselves in this mess,it's not an old thing. People were fed with wrong/insane ideas before, but it never was a world-wide self-sustainable viral phenomenon that no one really controls (as in tv). You're all for people doing their business and leaving them alone, but now many have no basis to rest on, and if that's not a problem for you right now, chances are it will quickly become one.
Just the same that you can know for sure that your boss won't place a hit on you if you leave. The consequences for China to do that are too high, so it is not in their interest.
I too feel a bit dirty saying this, but I actually really like a lot of the w3schools docs - terrible place to learn to code, but great for quickly remembering how do to something that you totally knew at some point but have just forgotten.
That's not the way UI works. Benefits must be qualified for; you generally have to have had a job that you lost (gig economy jobs complicate this severely and often disqualify people). You can't just "quit" and pick up benefits. And there is a time limit in all states after which the benefits terminate.

Very, very few people at any given time have a "choice" as to whether to get unemployment or work a gig job.
This pretty much. There are so many great places to live, cheap places to live, that have no local economy.

Once the average person is truly a member of the "global economy" and can participate it in from whatever they are, overheated housing markets will rapidly cool.
Why does it have to be this polarized - stupid code & smart objects. Writing smart code that uses smart objects is better than stupid code.
Writing stupid code that uses smart objects is indeed difficult.

The government does not have a monopoly on the production and distribution of food or housing. They may use taxpayer dollars to induce supply in this respect or that, but they are not the sole provider.
This is why I get frustrated when people try to say “the system is broken, we should have a revolution!”

To have a successful revolution, you need to convince a lot of people that your cause is just, and worth dying for... if we can’t even convince people to VOTE for the right people/things, how can we possibly convince them to have a revolution?

You don’t think that the people who manipulate the populous to win elections couldn’t do the same thing to stop a revolution?

I agree, honestly I use w3schools more than MDN when I'm googling stuff. Most of the time I'm just looking for a quick example of whatever HTML/CSS I need to implement, and w3schools provides that perfectly while MDN is a bit more cluttered.
I get very little glasses fog with my setup - a 3M 7503 half-face (modified to remove the vent feature), with 2297 filters. With a clean shaven face, I've got a positive seal for both inhale and exhale. I think the little bit of fog I occasionally get is because the 2297 filters direct a little air out of their backside when I exhale deeply. I imagine the problem would completely disappear with 5N71 or 6xxxx (combo) filters. Good luck finding stock though.
Did Lyft figure out another legal way to do this? Or are they simply ignoring AB5?
Technology isn't the best example. Technology provides for people's livelihood. It's the actual industry that national security depends upon. Which is why so many countries subsidize technology. It's not an economical decision at all in any regard.
I like your attitude. How, if I may ask, did you end up with your current philosophy? Was it through past experiences where people did take your time and you gave in?

I love the idea of taking lots of time off, but on a personal level I have a lot of guilt surrounding that. I know it's not rational since ultimately it's my life, but it's still something I need to work on to get over. If you have tips on changing my mindset surrounding this, I'd love to hear it.
Good point.

There’s a great book called Cable Cowboy by Mark Robichaux that talks about the Wild West days of early cable television.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/047170637X/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_nx...

The focus is on John Malone but all of the major players make an appearance including Redstone.

The interesting bit is how the guys who controlled the conduit manipulated their way into owning the content as well. They saw what happened to Ma Bell and used it to grow through creating regional monopolies like the Mafia.

- They each carved out their own territory and refused to compete with each other

- They collaborated to fight local government attempts to get better customer service for citizens or even string their own cable

- They famously extorted all of the content guys into giving up pieces of their businesses

Take a look at Liberty Media and how it acquired content assets directly influenced by John Malone’s power in cable.

It’s spooky, sinister yet amazing.
These conversations become hard, because its not well discussed, and the finesse to divide these into "new" and "old" problems is being developed.

For example an "old" problem is that this is how humans interact with information and sensationalism. The news cycle effect, the sale of content along with the packaging of professionalism - was a problem before the net.

But there are also a novel situations where this new rate, scale, and quality of information creation/dissemination result in new structures issues.

An example of this is the perception that a belief is more widely held than it is in the general public, due to social media. IF you got into a conspiracy group, and it were populated by 1000s of real conspiracists, it would still be a small fraction of the population of %(people online)(speak your language)(other filters).

BUT - the human brain sees "enough" activity in the forum/web page to trigger an internal "critical mass" threshold, this creates "social proof" and the belief gets solidified.

A clear field where tech creates new problems is where tech outstrips old societal and human thresholds of functioning.

Social media feeds which reinforce information, constant and from your pocket? New problem

Automated creation of content to populate feeds? New New problem.

Creation of propaganda ? Old problem, new medium, new tools - question on whether scope and scale make it a new problem.

-----

Perhaps the "new" problems can, to some extent, be solved by tech. "Old" problems will almost certainly need tech+political will and manpower to solve.

Hmmm... I think there are only a handful of nefarious uses for this technology but a plethora of real-world applications. Almost all of the nefarious uses revolve around GPS and individuals. If you take that out, the set of applications is enormous-1.

It’s strange to me that people read something like this and infer the absolute inverse of the actual situation. That is definitely a “thinking fast” reaction.

That's what Sidecar was! Drivers set prices, and riders chose between drivers' offers. It failed against competition from Uber/Lyft and shut down EOY 2014.

But arguably, that was because Uber/Lyft had an unfair advantage from being able to exercise tight control over drivers while not having to obey regulations for employees, while Sidecar had more limited control over drivers. If everyone had to use the Sidecar model, it might work out, but you need equitable laws (that apply to everyone) to make that work.

Waiting 10-30 minutes for a train isn't a technological consequence of rail transportation, it's a symptom of a catastrophically inept transit agency.

What's stopping, say, Caltrain, from running trains at peak frequency all day? Incompetent leadership. They have the trains (which spend all day sitting idle _at_ terminus platforms), the have the crew (who also sit idle during the day), they have the capacity to run more trains off peak. They made a deliberate choice to not run the trains.

You might make the case that running more trains off-peak would increase maintenance costs. But I would wager that such maintenance costs pale in comparison to the cost of building enough platforms at your downtown termini to store trains all day. Moreover who cares about maintenance costs? It's insane to think that public transit should be profitable.

loop is an elitist perversion of transit

I wore my nerd badge for a while shitting on w3schools - mostly because very early on, it was filled with really wrong information, when it mattered.

I think over time, that wrong information was less detrimental to learning, while still being here and there.

I met too many people over the years who started with w3schools and continued on, so it became clear my sense about it was mostly dogma - if folks turned lemons into lemonade and think fondly of it, who am I to yuck that yum :)
oh no, not a heckin email or a piece of letter. I'm sure he read absolutely zero of them.
Zeroth, the more unemployed, the more downward salary pressure on the employed.

edit: the reasonable expectation is that half of the workers are fired and the remaining workers' salaries are cut. The Luddites were a result of noticing technological improvements lowered wages and employment at the same time.
I think maybe you are misreading the rule, it doesn't say don't optimize, it says when optimizing, don't guess from the code where the bottleneck is, go measure it.
In their case, they actually did more than that.

They acquired ownership in the content networks and taxed them as well.

Oh no! I _just_ finished reading James Gleick's _Genius_ this weekend, and I'm halfway through _No Ordinary Genius_ (both about Richard Feynman). The latter has many long quotes from Joan, and I was wondering just yesterday if she was still alive. She sounded pretty great. (And I highly recommend both books.)
A lot of the w3schools hate probably comes from the "old days" when a lot of the documentation was inaccurate.
What you've described is exactly what happened when Sidecar (the totally hands-off drivers-set-prices-and-riders-choose option) tried to compete; they lost against Uber/Lyft and shut down EOY 2014.
Look Who’s Talking About Educational Equity
> The foundation of Liberalism (I’m not saying left wing here) is that no one owns knowledge

This is complete BS to begin with. "No one owns knowledge" is a typical ideological statement without any merits or proof. It is an idea that you want to believe, that is based on nothing factual.

Yes, you can have opinions. Tastes. Ideologies. Beliefs. And they could be true, or false, or changing, depending on where you are and how you look at it. They are all subjective.

However, there are things in this world that are neutral to opinions and stands the test of time. Facts that happened in the physical world and mathematical knowledge, are two examples of such objects. They are the truth. They are absolutely correct. There is no room for "disagreement" because they are not subjective opinions. They are facts that can't and won't be changed.

Math is always correct. 100% correct. From day 1 they are discovered / invented till forever. Explicit assumptions and theorems that followed by rigorous proof are absolutely correct. You can expand it later, you can discover more, you can enrich math. But as long as it is correct, it stands forever. Every single second you are using technologies based on mathematical knowledge that was proved thousands of years ago. They never failed, and will never fail.

Facts, in the physical world, are objective as well. You can argue whether a killer is a good person or not, or how good/bad he is, but you can't alter the fact if he did pull the trigger and killed someone. That is a fact.

Physics, based on a wider set of physical assumptions, can be viewed as close to truth, because they have stood the test of time by physical experiments and phenomena. There is a chance that they are not completely true and will be subsumed by more advanced theories, just like Newton's Laws, however, they are close approximations to reality. That's how we get the rockets into the space. By science.

Now comes to my point. You have the right to express your opinions, even if they are harsh criticisms. But you don't have the right to spread false information that can be proved false by facts. You don't have the right to spread lies. You don't have the right to say whatever you want, however you want it.

Why? Because statements against facts are false, are lies, and spreading lies can hurt and cost others' lives, sometimes millions or more. This is why there is law against spreading hate speech, against spreading extremist ideology against human race, against fraud and scams.

Free speech is about being free expressing your opinions within the framework. Outside these boundaries, your speech becomes a weapon that can hurt others and that is not allowed by law and society.

The fundamental rule in the society is simple. You have every right about yourself, but you don't have the right to hurt others.

Huge power consumption, extraordinary costs for precision components.
so they are too dumb.

>I am not going to state that "drivers are too dumb", but as far as I know it is definitely not clear that it is clear to a (potential) driver what they are actually being paid after all expenses. It is not unreasonable that any given person will not immediately understand the full cost of being a driver, including insurance (like ensuring that their existing auto insurance is even valid if you're ever driving for a company), gas, vehicle maintenance, general vehicle wear-and-tear, as well as any required cleaning/upkeep.

this is just a long way of saying they are stupid.
Thanks all - I am simultaneously heartened by the positive attitude for this often maligned site, as well as shocked at myself for supporting them myself :) Quite the rubber-band effect, but super nice to see a civil discussion about this topic on HN.
There is no misunderstanding because it was never the intention to use the bitstring to represent a unique word in Morse code in the first place. Instead, Morse code was merely used as a convenient method to devise a bitstring from a relevant word.
Took one for the team:

What is eBPF?
The Linux kernel has always been an ideal place to implement monitoring/observability, networking, and security. Unfortunately this was often impractical as it required changing kernel source code or loading kernel modules, and resulted in layers of abstractions stacked on top of each other. eBPF is a revolutionary technology that can run sandboxed programs in the Linux kernel without changing kernel source code or loading kernel modules. By making the Linux kernel programmable, infrastructure software can leverage existing layers, making them more intelligent and feature-rich without continuing to add additional layers of complexity to the system.

eBPF has resulted in the development of a completely new generation of tooling in areas such as networking, security, application profiling/tracing and performance troubleshooting that no longer rely on existing kernel functionality but instead actively reprogram runtime behavior without compromising execution efficiency or safety.

What is eBPF.io?
eBPF.io is a place for everybody to learn and collaborate on the topic of eBPF. eBPF is an open community and everybody can particpate and share. Whether you want to read a first introduction to eBPF, find further reading material or make your first steps to becoming contributors to major eBPF projects, eBPF.io will help you along the way.
Something can be both politically incorrect and correct at the same time.
"Most people are effectively powerless to make an impact on much outside their immediate lives."

Isn't this a good thing? Doesn't it mean that they can't harm others?
If it's like my 3M mask, you should be able to take the face piece apart, pull off the check valve flaps, and seal the vent port. Cleaner job, no worries about the vent retaining moisture, and P100 output filtration. It does retain a bit more warmth, but after a few months of wearing it modded I've stopped noticing.
I think this is the desired outcome from Uber. There's no way they haven't been preparing for an outcome like this for years. Mid-pandemic where revenue is already in the shitter, they may as well take another hit in the hopes of forcing the CA legislature to legalize their business to protect desperately needed jobs.
Hat pins have some advantages, decent stats, light weight (don't need a special scabbard and you'll have one on you anyway to keep your hat on when flying) but they are of misc class, and your far better spending you EXP on another combat branch. https://dwwiki.mooo.com/wiki/Hatpin
Yes, the state's actual goal is to end gig work, by forcing gig work companies to actually treat their employees like employees. I'm for it. (It also seems weird to dismiss government action as politically motivated - of COURSE it is, it's literally political action! It's not going to be motivated by the tides!)
> quick way to report a Tweet or FB post that spreads disinformation would already help a lot.

That point is what always goes through my head when a Dorsey or a Zuckerberg or a Wojkiki gives another "more work to be done" apology.

If they've been doing so much work, and it's just the "moderation is hard" problem that has slowed them, why do all of their sites make it so convoluted to report content?
It may not be totally evacuated but the pressure difference between it and the outside world is still supposed to be very large isn't it? And if you want a hyperloop that actually goes anywhere that's going to represent quite a large volume of low pressure space that you need to create and maintain.

Surely this has to be quite energy intensive and generally difficult to maintain, especially since you have to get people in and out of it all the time. I'm not saying these problems are physically insurmountable but they sure sound expensive.
That is certainly the best solution.
