I think if you're going to provide people a platform to spread their ideas, you have a responsibility to challenge what you believe to bad ideas, publicly (but also give the person the space to respond to your challenge). Allowing people greater reach in spreading bad ideas, unchecked, is irresponsible.

As the person running the show, that responsibility increases as your audience increases.

I still have yet to check out Rogan's show, but if he's just providing nutjobs a platform to spread lies and misinformation, without Rogan giving enough context, that's incredibly irresponsible of him.
I hate that you are getting downvoted for this (and I will for this). Needing evidence used to be the penultimate expectation of every hacker news comment. Now its witticisms wrought with extreme prejudice. And even you asking to maybe see a study where someone determined that there was indeed a causal relationship between stock prices and the signal the previous commenters claimed is somehow grounds for an attack on your karma.
From what I have both seen and read, housing costs are the #1 cause of this. They have exploded in the last 25 years.

The thing that blows my mind is that the COVID recession shows no sign of slowing down house price growth, though it has tempered rents in expensive markets.

If housing still rises even now, something is totally insane.
Why colleges need their own court system is beyond me. We have a perfectly usable one that actually has reasonable protections for the accused.

It's sad that officials in the Dept of Education can put in place such an egregious system, which is literally designed to infringe on people's rights, and not face any consequences. Like so many things at that level, there are expectations for officials to act properly and protect our rights, but when they don't, there is no specified punishment.
They took satellite imagery from Bing Maps. I’m guessing it’s streamed.
> Would you rather we spend billions/trillions on infrastructure used for 3 days every 20 years?

I don't know, California, how about you start by spending the billions you need to make sure people just baseline don't burn to death, and then we'll see what delivery reliability looks like?
The article is not based on that premise, it is proposing an alternative model instead: "the process model of self-control".

a drastically simpler set of web standards, so that making web browsers would become much simpler

Yes, yes, yes!

would be relatively fast moving, not focused on backwards compatibility

No, no, no! Constant churn is precisely the problem with the web today, as it is what creates all that complexity and bloat. What you really need is a simple and stable set of standards, ideally something that won't change in decades (somewhat like how ASCII has been) so that any implementors don't have to engage in mindless trendchasing.

In fact, we already have a simpler set of web standards. It's called HTML4 and CSS2. Browsers like Dillo and NetSurf handle them well, and site like HN and Craigslist are an example of what the resulting format is like.
Residential solar once posed the opposite problem: generating power during the day in suburbs where it wasn't being consumed nor could it be transported to areas of high demand.

If our current problem is higher daytime residential demand, maybe power companies can stop fighting residential solar initiatives now?
We are all waiting for fusion.
I'm referring to the entropy of the Bernoulli distribution. If the coin is fair, the entropy is 1 bit... if the coin isn't fair, then the entropy of the distribution is less than 1 bit. I'm having trouble reconciling the information theory way of thinking about entropy as a function of a distribution, with how physicists tend to think of entropy of arrangements.
There could be two sides to this. What if the postal service is doing this on its own, without the President's interference? Slowing down service to show how maybe they are not ready, need more investment, or to counter the President?

I think it’s an interesting point. The USA always gets compared to Europe, especially Western Europe with this so called “Quality of Life” statistic. However there are far more Western Europeans moving to the USA than the other way.

I don’t know, my siblings and I do better than our parents who put time in to raise us. We didn’t have much except each other. We weren’t without but we never had a vacation or went out to eat. Went to public schools, etc. But my parents respected each other and sacrificed a bit to raise us. I’d say my family has moved from working class into middle class and upper middle class for some of us.

Our quality of life seems pretty nice. It’s weird because when I moved to nyc many of the people that complained a lot were from well to do families and they clearly weren’t doing better. They were being recycled downwards and they seemed to resent successful people because of it. They make a lot of noise but my friends back home, many of which are doing better than their folks, don’t go on social media talking about.

Hey! Leave Java out of this, Java didn't do anything to you!

Joking mostly aside, python is way way closer to C++ in terms of language feature bloat; where Java is notoriously spartan and slow moving (moreso historically).

Ofcourse I know you're also reffering to standard lib gunk but that's relatively less impactful.

The big issue with the python 3 shift was when you touch something as substantial, subtle, and pervasive as strings you're going to cause problems. I wont speak to if it was worth it.
> assuming the user is an expert at it, rather than the author of the document

But the user is NOT an expert at styling a website, this is why we have designers to figure out which combination of layout, fonts, and colors work well together.
This kind of approach has generally worked for me but I take it a little further. I’ve gone by this adage that “a little bit each day” is better than doing a lot in a single day with a few days off. For instance with exercise (Running) instead of saying no to doing it I say ok maybe half the distance. And as a result it turns into a habit which I think is the single most important tool we have to improve ourselves. It’s kind of taking this situational approach and applying it every day. Another example from my life is soda. I read a lot about the negative effects sugar has on my body and as a result I feel guilty when I buy it, this is another way to motivate myself into a habit of “not buying soda” I started to buy less and now when it isn’t even available my laziness prevents me from leaving the house to go get it :) this is really similar to another comment that said “create systems” where the inevitable outcome is your goal, and I find parallels between this “system” idea and culture in general. Culture is what can drive large groups of people to desirable outcomes. This is as if we apply having a good “culture” within ourselves.
Lol and I made fun of my country when this happened in Iran. Good job America.
I absolutely love All Gas No Brakes (no pun intended) however I was a bit troubled by some of Andrew's comments speaking with Ethan and Hila on the H3H3 podcast.

We need to remember that this is entertainment, plain and simple. This is meant to be raw, groundbreaking and "fresh" which is why myself and many others love the cut and dry nature of his content - however his comments regarding the protests in Portland and Minneapolis were troubling. Specifically, how he articulated looting, destruction of businesses (including immigrant and minority owned businesses) as a "logical response to the death of George Floyd".

AGNB will have a great future, but I think it's critical to remember that this IS ENTERTAINMENT and not in the slightest form meant to be informative.

That said, godspeed Andrew lets take AGNB to the next level!
> Before revealing he had a relationship with his student, he gives a bunch of innuendo that he was only fired because he mentioned opposing some kind of affirmative action in a hiring committee, but he doesn't prove that was why and doesn't give the committee "due process" to defend themselves.

IANAL, but I’m pretty sure not speculating about someone’s motives (and indeed not even identifying them) in some piece of Internet criticism is different than sentencing them without due process...
> Surely you know better than the urban planners and the engineers who are widening roads indiscriminately.

When I used the word indiscriminate, there was a specific purpose to it. It doesn't have to be that the engineers or planners don't know the better way to do it. It just might be that they choose to pick the cheapest way they can get away with, or do you deny that in developing countries corruption is not high and implementation of laws is not lax.

I have specifically mentioned examples in one of the other replies of things that they have done indiscriminately. Filling up narrow valleys with debris or destroying vegetation below the road slope by just leaving the debris there certainly isn't smart; nor is cutting slopes in the cheapest way to leave them prone to landslides.

There are ways to activley manage it which have been employed throughout the world.

As I said, even when I had searched in the past the media coverage on this was poor which is surprising. But here are few links which discuss the issues I mentioned in the comment.

But the safer side is a political battle.

Saving lives by preventing viral spread sounds good until the economic and societal damage of the preventative measures lead to more harm than they prevented.

Funny enough many of this and other virus worst symptoms are the bodies natural response to the virus. Inflammation for instance is the bodies response to damage, bit it can in turn cause more damage than the original source of issue.

Ask HN: CS degree equivalent from MIT or Harvard with online classes, for free?
Both universities (and many others) have made thousands of courses available online. Is it possible to obtain the equivalent to a CS degree without ever attending a class on campus?

Has anyone tried? How long would it take? How marketable would such education be? Could we argue that if you are the a self-starter kind of person you may get a “better” education this way?

Of course no diploma would be given at the end, and perhaps there are nominal fees.
Not a legal responsibility, an ethical one. Whether we like it or not, people tend to idolize public figures and believe what they say.

When people regularly tune in to his show, they may be exposed to a certain topic / idea for the first time, and their only exposure to this idea may be what Joe Rogan and his guest have to say. I would say he therefore has a moral obligation to TRY not to mislead his listeners.
That would be 10x100 or 1000X. 100X (10x10) is easily achievable with a high objective.
In your sheet, you can also do this cell A4:

Then just copy Column A4. Now you don't need to replace tabs or such.

This is the reason why I was initially excited about, and then disenchanted with Vivaldi. I initially had the impression that they weren't going to use Chromium, and that their return to Opera's roots meant returning to the spirit of innovation that made Opera so compelling back in the day (I will never stop singing the praises of Opera Unite). But then I learned that Vivaldi, too, would be based on Chromium.
Then point is that punishing powerless innocent people doesn't solve the problem of guilty powerful people.

Perhaps you aren't familiar with the US separation of powers between the states and the federal government. In the US, just like we have federal food inspectors (and some statewide ones too), a federal dept. of health, federal standards for roads, a federal center for disease control, it's silly to suggest we couldn't benefit from federal standards for covid-19 safety (we have something called OSHA).

We could also make use of the existing federal laws to force companies to make ppe. There's rarely any PPE in the local stores in my area. I'm left to buy random questionably sourced masks on amazon. All it would take is an order from the president to vastly improve this situation on PPE. It will apparently be left to the next one to actually make a plan and deal with it.
But a Professor's recommendation is very valuable - in some industries, the only path to employment. The temptation to forego recusal is large, especially for a valued graduate student. Unequal relationships (mentor/student etc) are so full of pitfalls, they've been forbidden by many, many institutions.
Probably less to do with backwards compat then how it was handled. The first few versions of python 3 didn't really provide any compelling benefit, (indeed things like performance were worse, not better), and most people didn't _care_ about the cruft it removed. The "print" statement being a great example. Was it kind of weird? Sure. Did that weirdness have any consequences at all? Not really. Was it worth it to force people to replace thousands of lines of code for something that was essentially a minor aesthetic issue, if that? No way.

Also the python 2 string type was more in line with how other unix utilities work, so while I do think the 3 string type is generally better for the web, it wasn't an obvious improvement for the other large usage of python. While it's a very versatile language, I would say the major niches of python are: web dev, shell scripting, and scientific computing. The changes in python 3 were (somewhat) helpful for web dev, but really were inconsequential and/or actively harmful for the other uses.

Mixed with how condescending the python dev team acted about it, and how it really wasn't until about python 3.6 that there was any compelling reason to move to python 3,you can see where most of the hate comes from.

And by the way, even if Python is very popular today, I do think that rift really hurt the language. I worked at least at one company where Python was considered for a project, but eventually shelved because of management's confusion over the 2/3 issue.

Though Ego Depletion doesn't seem to be a thing as you pointed out, "willpower is like a muscle" can still hold up if you take the depletion part out of the equation (muscle endurance vs. muscle strength). At least for the underlying neurological mechanisms, there seems to be a connection between connectivity of parts of the prefrontal cortex and the ability to self-regulate, and those parts also appear to be trainable.
They aren't doing this for users. They're doing this so that they can stand in front of Congress and say "Well actually Facebook and Instagram aren't two separate things, they're really just 1 thing, so it's impossible for you to break us up into 2 companies, sorry!"

If an old lady falls down then you call 911 and get an ambulance to come. There's no risk of violence.

But with mental illness there is the risk of violence and that is the police's role.

I can't see this working out and it's not fair to send in people not able to deal with a situation if it turns violent. You are sending in unarmed people to ENGAGE with someone potentially violent. If something goes wrong, sure they can call the police, but if you have people already engaging with the person it increases the risk for them.
Is there something similar for JVM?
My first impression after watching your preview is "Powerpoint which can take in screencast and live video." Not entirely if this is what it does, but is the closest thin in my mind.

The major difference from just recording via a tool like Loom or Soapbox is that video sits on top of Slides, and can be played back every time one moves up/down the slides.

Basically, unlike a typical screencast, this one has chapters, so you can give a presentation without physically being in the room. Interesting.
The Russians may have had a little help:

"Now they say that the allies never helped us, but it can't be denied that the Americans gave us so many goods without which we wouldn't have been able to form our reserves and continue the war," Soviet General Georgy Zhukov said after the end of WWII.

"We didn’t have explosives, gunpowder. We didn’t have anything to charge our rifle cartridges with. The Americans really saved us with their gunpowder and explosives. And how much sheet steel they gave us! How could we have produced our tanks without American steel? But now they make it seem as if we had an abundance of all that. Without American trucks we wouldn’t have had anything to pull our artillery with."

Epic’s demand is that they be allowed to run their own Store.

The article strongly supports Epic, and dismisses all counterarguments as ‘bullshit’ or uses ad-hominem.

The fact that they do this but then don’t even mention what Epic is actually asking for, shows that it is not my reading, but the article which is disingenuous.

Supporting Epic is to make the argument for other stores to be allowed.

Epic’s strategy simply doesn’t allow for the remedy to be a reduction in percentage. They are all in on being allowed to run their own store.

If you support this is what you support.

In addition, the article clearly claims that the security argument is ‘bullshit’.

That claim is simply incompatible with claiming you want to maintain the current level of security.

I didn’t mention privacy.

It’s also worth noting that nothing in the article does any work towards explaining how to reduce reliance on the subscription model, and it certainly makes no case for how Epic, or anyone else would achieve that.

It just says users ‘hate’ subscriptions, but then says they aren’t needed in order to run a successful App business anyway, which is oddly conflicted.

It’s a bad piece.
