Yeah this is an important detail that is typically glossed over: the device is just a content delivery platform, and the content is what really matters. As a parent I find that policing content is a much more challenging and stressful task than simply managing screen time.
So you started spamming their support and then you were surprised that they didn’t get back to you immediately?

I had great experiences with Fastmail support.

The district I teach at (high school) is requiring two hours for kindergartners, three for 1st and 2nd graders, and 4 for all the rest. Everyone is done by noon, and teachers are there until three to answer any questions people have while working on assignments. I think for the lower levels, it definitely might be best.

Though a coworker has a son starting kidnergarden in a neighboring district, and they're there from 8-2:30, with planned time for recess and lunch. However, they're only in the main class for 30 minutes at the beginning and the end, and then each kid goes into a small group instruction with an instructor, and gets one-on-one time. I'm interested to see how that will work out overall, as it sounds like it could be a good compromise if you can get enough instructors.

At my last startup 15 years ago we paid our support staff $12 and had no problem hiring people. But the people we could hire for $12 sucked at the job. They just didn't have the skills or talent.

So we started paying $16+ and hired much higher quality people.

Companies always want to pay as little as possible, but they also have to be able to attract the right level of talent.
> The bar for safety is lower than you might expect, for example, crashing with a “panic” in case of an error is completely fine, that’s not considered unsafe.

Yes, because "safety" in English is not analogous to "unsafe" in Rust in any real manner. They are linked only in the loosest conceptual way. Rust's "safety" and "unsafe" are well defined and exact, and can be objectively determined. In the English language it is by its nature subjective.

> The usual understanding is that an unsafe function is any function that can, if passed the wrong arguments, cause Undefined Behavior.

That is, specifically AFAIK, not what it means in Rust. It's well defined there, so there's no need to resort to "the usual understanding". This causes a lot of confusion, but it doesn't need to. If someone is talking about the unsafe keyword in Rust, they're talking about Rust's definition of it and what it entails, or they're using incorrect terminology.

> Presumably, the C++ wrappers suggested here would not even be safe in that sense. They would use a lot of pointers, and cause UB if passed the wrong one.

Then there's not a lot of point in using Rust if they refuse to change that usage. It's not about using Rust to check off a box that you use some buzzword technology, it's about leveraging what it can provide that other languages can't, or can't do as well.

If someone finally decides to put a firewall in front of a server but decides its' too hard to actually limit traffic in any way so allows 0.0.0.0/0 any port, you don't congratulate them on their firewall, you tell them they just wasted everyone's time and money.

> The article argues that using unsafe correctly is impractical for Chromium because basically every Rust function would have to be marked unsafe to call into these raw C++ APIs.

To my knowledge, the way Firefox did it was to pick a system or library, provide a Rust replacement that C/C++ could call, and allow it to be moved into place. That's sane. Using rust and C++ functions on the same memory and expecting Rust to deal with C++'s pointer shenanigans may not be, in the same way I wouldn't expect mixing small amounts of Java in the JVM into a big C++ would just work unless you had hard rules about who controlled what memory/objects and made sure you never broke them.

I can't help but feel they're approach is likely to cause them more problems than needed because they're not willing to commit the sane minimal amount to make a lot of these problems not matter (replace a small self contained system). If they don't actually have any small self contained system, and they really are just passing stuff around and using some complex pointer control, and aren't willing to change that, maybe Rust isn't a good candidate to extend their project languages with.

Cool product! I wouldn't worry about the HN naysayers too much (very "just use rsync to a VPS"-esque vibe here). I think you should clarify on your site that the app is only required for setting up the block, and that your guests won't need it -- I knew that from using the NFC wifi feature before, but not everyone does, and right now centering the app makes it seem like everyone will need it. You could also maybe make a business-centric landing page? I think this would go over GREAT with coffee shops etc. Especially if you have the option to get a logo image engraved instead of just text. Not sure how possible that is with your current setup, though -- I know laser cutters can do an image, but it needs to be SVG or another vector format I think? Maybe you could use the Inkscape auto-vectorizer to do that conversion for raster images, though (it's usable from a script IIRC).

Cool business! Good luck!

Ya know, as much as the general idea of genetic engineering repulses me, mosquitos are one of the only organisms I am perfectly fine with putting aside my reservations for. I dream of a day when humans wipe them from the face of the earth.

I think it's also important to note that certain mosquito species (the ones which most commonly carry diseases) can be targeted, leaving other mosquito populations as they were.
Nobody has to work for minimum wage. Nobody is forced to take the job.

Hey, wait a second. Are these just a modern incarnation of the enterprise service bus? Is there a significant difference?
Last year I worked on deploying docker swarm clusters on prem for a client (their request). I loved how simple it was and yet how much you can tailor it, with additional services like traefik, prometheus, etc etc.

Months into the project and we learned how they are obsoleting it to focus on kube. I was devastated. We had a simple yet effective way of deploying clusters, and now we would need entire teams of CKA just to understand what is going on operationally.

I quit the project eventually, but I think they are just going back to VMs + ansible.
That's untrue, of course. But why don't you supply links so readers can make up their own minds? When people post linkless claims like this, usually they're omitting some important aspect of the story.
My daughter is only 1, and has gone to daycare through the entire pandemic, but I can say with near certainty that if she was a few years older, I would rather hire a nanny to take her to the park everyday rather than put her in a virtual kindergarten class. It sounds absolutely awful and pointless. I don't see how a child could learn anything from it.

I would have thought the money wouldn't be there for a different reason - human hands suck compared to tools which is why we created them in the first place. It is a bit of a silly trope to have industrial work done by humanoid robots with hand tools.

The ability to manipulate destandardized sizes would be useful but precision manufacturing ate most of the lunch long ago which reduces it to more of a "last mile" task.

The last mention of JMAP got me to sign up for three years of Fastmail. I used their auto-configure script to add it to my personal MacBook. The system then became more unstable than it has ever been, frequent crashes of the WindowServer and complete system lockups. Combined with scary messages about my Gmail and iCloud accounts asking for re-authentication. I seriously thought I had been owned.

I removed the Fastmail accounts (mail, calendar, etc.) and everything was immediately fine again. I'm scared to try this again to troubleshoot what is happening.

This is an April Fools article.
All disciplines studying complex systems like societies down to something like the human body, simply do not have the luxury of absolute truths like in mathematics or even the ability to run experiments like in physics (often for ethical reasons, e.g., in medicine or economics).

But does that mean that it is not worth doing?

For these fundamental reasons economics is “hard”, but I argue that it is still worth doing because economic policies have a big impact on people’s lives, and partial understanding is better than nothing.

> This is something other apps can't display...?

You're right, I should have been more specific: it shows the badge even when I don't have System Preferences open, while other apps (such as my chat client, or mail client) only show badges when they're open. It shouldn't show the badge at all, though.
Its incredibly stressful on some days, especially when I am dealing with a production issue or a deadline. This is one of the main reasons I will be soon looking for a new job. One of the questions I would ask the interviewer would be to find out if I will I be working on a AWS workspace/Citrix VDI/something similar or will I get a dedicated hardware.

I tried to bring this issue up a couple of times, but got turned down saying no budget for laptop (though they must be paying more to AWS within a year or two, we all have been on Citrix VDI or AWS for 6 years), or that it is easy for IT this way, and recently manager just told me to reboot everyday when I leave (which seemed to have solved the low memory issues, but others still occur).

2 weeks ago, the workspace wasn't registering the key presses (it does this sometimes and I have to reconnect). I got so angry, next thing I know I punched the laptop keyboard. The laptop screen froze with lot of lines on it, and there was a loud sound (probably from something getting in between the fan). Fortunately, everything was fine after a reboot. I never knew I would respond like this. I probably need to see a psychologist soon before this becomes a major issue. My dad also had such angry outbursts and I used to hate him for that.
Yes, Abinsthe is quite incredible! I have used it with react and vue and had some success. However lately whenever liveview is the right fit I find myself fist pumping all over the place. Something magically about writing most of your code in elixir and only sprinkling JS when needed. Your site is very ui heavy so I imagine it needs to have a lot of js strictly client side so a SPA makes sense (I just find the mental overhead of having to deal with a js framework front end and a elixir backend tricky).

I'm curious to check my ethics. I'm in Colorado. Currently climbing gyms are open, limited capacity, with masks. I'm currently planning for winter. My gut says in 6-8 weeks with schools + flu season starting there's good chance of either shut down of gyms again or just too much risk for me.

So I've been looking for private commercial space. I already have a personal wall need to move it indoors.

My question is what others think of the ethics of expanding from just myself to trying to get 5-10 people onboard with a 501c7 social group to lower costs and build more walls in a private space. Only allow one person in at a time - mask-less (or closed loop groups for instance me and my climbing partner are in a 2 person closed loop).

I'm currently trying to look at the last order to see if that's legal.

but now with this thread I'm questioning the ethics and curious what others think. Besides the obvious unequal privilege that I can afford this luxury.
We need to have trees mixed with diverse crops. Trees will provide nutrients for the crops through a network of micro fungus which are living in biodiversity with the trees roots. Trees will naturally also cool the close surroundings so that it does not get too warm needed due to global warming.

Already a lot of fields in Europe are not active due too over production of crops. We should probably mix trees and farmland and open up some of those closed fields. Trees will take some capacity of the land but that can be replaced by opening up closed areas.

“ Roots take in water, and nutrients, from the soil. Without help from fungus for better uptake of nutrients, trees would be small or would die. Most trees have a favorite species of fungus that they associate with for this purpose.”
Source:
https://simple.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree

Now say that you mix crops and trees then you probably can find trees and crops which mix well together. The crop will side load get a boost of nutrients from the trees fungus.

> I'd argue this makes a lot more sense than some sort of drone delivered jettisoned/retrieved battery..

Oh absolutely, it compares favourably to one of the most asinine first-pass approaches to this problem I've ever seen, heheh.

The real solution is to find a way to produce good liquid fuel from a cheap and abundant source of overprovisioned baseline power (maybe make hydrogen† from your nuclear power in off-peak hours).

Batteries are mostly composed of matrix, so even if you could extract energy as efficiently from the non-matrix materials in the battery as you can from hydrocarbon combustion, you would still be lugging around all that matrix.

† Yes, I get that it's 3 times less energy dense than good hydrocarbons, but it's a start when compared to batteries.

> The only reasons adults can do it is years and years of learning impulse controls and suppression of bad emotions for everyone's good.

I'd go a step further and say that many--if not most--adults can't do this at all. I would go back to college any day, where classes are a few hours a day and I set my own schedule, but personally can't imagine that I'd do well if you put me back in high school (where i did fairly well academically), with a rigid schedule of back-to-back classes. If you told me that I have to do it again, but on zoom this time... I can't even fathom what kind of punishment that would be.
By "here" I mean the United States, a place that I lived and worked in my entire life.
> Not allowing individuals to do individual activities? That seems misguided at best.

Please reread my post. I already told you what the problem was.

A zillion people flooded the open beaches. The problem is that those zillion people then go places other than the beach and spread Covid.

The only real way to prevent that is to simply close the beach. Yes, that sucks for locals. So far, you have not presented an alternative solution. "Reopen the things!" is NOT a solution--it's idiocy.

However, you know what sucks more for locals? Getting Covid 19 from a bunch of out-of-towners because you work at the grocery stores, gas stations, etc. that they all flood after the beach.

Stop being a selfish prat. If you just have to be outdoors, go hike the mountains.
That's an entirely different OS and it's seriously cool. But I really do wonder why it seems like no homebrew was attempted on the original OS.
How does a minimum wage help with asymmetrical negotiating power and information for the majority of the workforce?

If this was the justification for the minimum wage (it almost never is), it’s a pretty ham-fisted solution.

I find that hard to understand. Isn’t having a kid something you do exactly so you have someone to care for and nurture?
IMHO this way of thinking is essential for almost any user-facing copy, even technical docs.
A lot of states regulate tips so the employer has to compensate an employee whose tips equal less than the minimum wage for the hours worked.
This entire discussion is about laws regarding minimum wage, the act of literally making it illegal to hire for less than a certain wage. I’m not sure I see the confusion
> the clusters in nursing homes and indoor parties also indicate there is some mechanisms in play when indoor

One know mechanic is the virus's half life when airborne. We know that the airborne virus can be killed/filtered when there is enough UV light and/or a fine enough particulate air filter in place. In other words, indoor safety can be improved with better filters. Without the proper filtration, HVAC circulation can help circulate the virus, which could be the problem in nursing homes and at parties.

Meanwhile, outdoor air is relatively safe when there is enough distancing as sunlight will take the virus's half life down to 90 seconds at 20% humidity and 70-75 degrees [1]. 20% humidity is pretty low, but the good news is that half life gets even shorter as humidity goes up. Sunlight doesn't even contain the best frequency of UV light to kill the virus, but it's intense enough that it still works fairly well.

It seems he’s seeking class-action status and looking to define the class as all students who have attended the school in the last decade. It sounds like he’s alleging that because endowment returns were “too low” and because active management fees paid to third party investment advisers were “too high” the students have been harmed in the form of higher tuition.
This is describing just one painful route up the mountain.

There are other routes, which usually involve sucking it up, going and working at Wall St or SV for a couple years till you know the "right people" and they know/trust you. After that happens the type of conversations change drastically.

I'm at a fantastic startup after leaving amazon and couldn't be happier about what I'm working on or the people I work with.

I would personally rephrase the previous comment as one of choice: for a free market to function you must have a reasonable choice to say "yes" or "no"; if you're strongly incentivised (or even forced) towards saying "yes", then that's not a very free market.

And that what's skewed here: as a (low-income) labourer, I often don't have all that much choice but to say "yes" since my bargaining power and alternatives are extremely limited. Often times people can't really "compare options".
By your reasoning every product we produce would converge to a single super Twinkie of maximal profit, and we’d make nothing nutritious. Since this is clearly obviously false, being a straw man, there is no reason we’d not also engineer many varieties of food.

You also keep repeating that somehow seed control is going to make things expensive, despite decades of it doing the exact opposite, hence vastly lower consumer expenditures.

So, once you stop avoiding actual economics as demonstrated econometrically, your arguments fall apart.

> Those sentences contradict each-other.

No, they don’t. You think extremely black and white, missing important nuance. Certainly selective breeding could randomly in one generation create anything, but the odds are too low to make it practical, thus GMO, by increasing the odds, improves the expected outcome, which is what we care about. And certainly mutation could make our changes irrelevant in one generation, but we hope that it doesn’t. There’s no one size fits all rate of evolution that supports your simplistic claim that one has to outpace the other. We only engineer in the hopes that it doesn’t.

If you really want everything explained this carefully so you don’t inject extreme positions I’ll do it.

There’s no reason to continue if you’re more interested in repeating the same claims regardless of evidence. If you want to continue please cite some decent evidence to back your claims.
That is true. One cannot completely relax. The point is that Asia and Europe has by and large managed, after the big initial outbreaks, to keep R in check with moderate, yet consistent measures (social distancing, no large events, masks).

When people get careless, it flares up, but can (thanks to decent testing meanwhile) typically be suppressed again with regional lockdowns before it gets really bad.
