Aye to take it a step further: there is a professor at UCSD who pushes for UBI Libertarianism, for that reason. Don't add conditions or requirements, just mail everyone a check and ditch all of the bureaucracy, EBT, etc.

The problem is that it makes poverty traps smaller, but doesn't make them go away. Like, if Johnny Hobo isn't able to feed his kids and blows his welfare on smokes and 40s, UBI isn't going to magically make him a better father or better at spending his money, he's just going to buy better booze.
Once you have a finite problem (which usually requires human human), computers can just chew through cases.

There are Sudoku which (appear to be) beyond human ability to solve, but which computers will prove solvable within milliseconds, just by chewing through the options.
This is awesome for scheduling all my chess training classes and very useful. When are you guys rolling out a mobile app? Very cool
> The real problem is that the desktop security model is outdated - it was designed for a world where software developers are trusted by default and users need to protect their data from each other. Today we can’t trust that developers will respect my data.

Why is it any different today? You can always only install applications you trust. It would be useful to have sandboxing for untrusted applications (especially when said sandboxing would also allow you to monitor what the application is doing), but not all applications are untrusted.

> Sorry I meant SQL Server in general, not specifically the linux one. You're pretty much relegated to using ODBC and messing around with all the requisite configs there, which is fine once it's working, but it's never as nice and straightforward as other db's ime.

I can't speak too broadly but mssql/tedious modules for node don't use the ODBC interface and work pretty well regardless of platform with minimal issues.

My biggest issues with MS SQL Server for Linux vs Windows comes down to some of the features that most dbms don't necessarily support in the first place.

Ask HN: Linux Alternative to macOS?
I’m still using Mojave because I just don’t like the direction that macOS is going in. I don’t think it’ll be too long now until Apple starts to really clamp down on what applications will run. I use Windows 10, but it has its own problems and the interface is still a mess.

But, I look at Linux and I have no idea where to turn. I want the uniformity of macOS with excellent keyboard shortcuts, but with the freedom to do what I want with my computer.

Any suggestions?
>Anyone else had the feeling where you think about the origin of Universe for a long time, it doesn't make any sense and you almost get a panic attack?

For whatever reason, it makes more more anxious than it should. The concepts involved are so far removed from my brain's understanding of reality that it makes me uncomfortable.
This article in the Atlantic mentions possible herd immunity at < 40%.

https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2020/07/herd-immu...
Around 2000, I spent some time developing snazzy new Java e-commerce stuff, at a large company that was mostly based on midrange AS/400's running RPG code. At the time, they announced a huge project to retire RPG and re-write everything in Java.

I've stayed in touch with some friends there all this time, and apparently they still haven't finished this project as of 2020. Disaster after disaster.

The first executive couldn't execute, so he moved on and the project was slow-rolled for awhile. Until enough time had passed for a subsequent executive to claim it as HIS "fresh new idea".

That executive came it very aggressively, actually pushing out all of the RPG employees and contractors well before the company was really ready. So that executive was pushed out, and his replacement had to hire IBM Global Services to come in and take over everything. IBM hired most of those employees and contractors who were let go. So the net result was the same people doing the same job, with the company paying 2-3x more than they had been paying.

It was around 2015 when they finally reached the tipping point, to where the company was "a Java shop with some legacy big iron" rather than "an RPG shop with some Java e-commerce pieces". But there's still a lot of AS/400 on the inventory side of things, and it will probably be another couple of decades before that finally goes away.

A lot of people on HN and Reddit, who are either students or startup employees, just have NO IDEA how things work for large businesses in the other 49 states. Stuff lasts forever, it's just a completely different world.
You are not wrong, but
All Economics is like this.

A "law" in Economics is supposed to work over infinite amount of time, over infinite amount of participants and so on. Technically they are not laws, but idealised long time trends.

Obviously they do not work exactly in real world, but that doesn't mean one should dismiss them entirely.
> If your bank would pay back your full credit card balance by accident, you would expect it to be able to get the money back, wouldn't you?

If the bank paid off my entire credit card balance instead of the < 1% payment I had scheduled, without an instruction from me, and without debiting my account because I don't have the funds to do that entire amount, I don't think I would care all that much. My CC issuer probably wouldn't be interested in returning the money if they had reason to believe I'd never pay them back in full as well.

That just leaves the bank that cares. The bank that made the expensive mistake.

But for all we know, time IS separate from space. Time is not like the 3 spatial coordinates in many physical systems. For example, Entropy increases with time, which doesn't make sense for a space-like property. Also, causality can be used to define a notion of past vs future even in 4D space time.

That's not what I wrote. I asked for a model that scales. Generally economic systems are implemented nationally.

No. You don't have a working example of the system you are citing as a possible alternative. We're both aware of this.
Depends on what it does. A robot that drives my kids to school has different constraints from a robot that cleans my kitchen after I'm done. The latter can be made safe by putting a locked door on the kitchen (which in turn means open floor plans are out). But the kitchen robot it allowed to take hours (not days) to do what I can handle in a few minutes. The get my kid to school robot needs to have speed.
Objects far apart may be traveling faster than the speed of light but once the universe reaches equilibrium won't there be intermediate masses that gravity will be able to travel through?

I was also under the impression that an expansion of space would just reduce the gradient of the gravity along that space and not inhibit its propagation.

If like a bubble space has some form of surface tension then would there be a point that it can no longer expand? Gravity could then become dominant and force the contraction. -edit-> I guess that wouldn't contract the space though just the matter?

I promise I'm not being pedantic or contrarian for the sake of it but to further my knowledge, thanks for your input!

That is the one thing that worries me about iOS (okay: the BIGGEST concern, not the ONLY concern) now that's it has been shown that TikTok and LinkedIn (apps not on my phone) have been shown to be copying the contents of the clipboard. I had not thought of using a browser plugin to avoid clipboard scavengers on non-mobile OSes: I'll have to give that some thought now.
Interesting. I'm come across several non-technical managers making extraordinarily bad decisions - major company direction level - even when very directly told "Do Not Do This, It's not feasible" by their technical staff.

It's never gone well. :(

Happily, indeed, the iron law is not quite as iron as it might sound. But Moloch's hand still grips firmly where it is given a hold: if you're working two minimum wage jobs because you absolutely need the money, where are you going to find the slack in your life to allow you to learn new skills and gain education? I work just one full-time job at substantially more than minimum wage, and even I can feel Moloch's cold caress and his call to sacrifice the long-term on the altar of the short-term; if my life weren't so comfortable, I can easily see how I might not even have the choice to resist him, let alone the willpower.

This seems easy to disprove simply by the fact that a single labourer can produce far more than is needed to sustain a single life -- at least today. So as long as that's true, people on average won't accept being paid the equivalent of a bag of rice a day if you could always go out and produce several on your own. Obviously this is an over simplification, but you get the idea.

I think there could be some truth in this though. I wouldn't be surprised if wages do trend towards the average productivity of labours, but again, that would be far higher than barely surviving -- at least today in countries with access to productivity boosting technology.
Literally that. The actual RDS ui (aws or gcp). I can setup a new db instance in 3 clicks. Slap in the dbs ip into the container.
As a data point: I am indeed a new Mac user, and I would never have guessed how to override gatekeeper and run the app if it weren't for (I think) stackexchange or a similar site providing detailed step-by-step instructions on how to do it. I'm a Linux power user so googling is no strange thing to me, but still, macOS really goes out of the way to hide this choice!

In my opinion, it's simply not possible to learn how to override it by following macOS UI "hints". Every step of the way seems designed to hide this possibility, instead of giving users a warning and a clear choice.
Sensors can't tell what is appropriate. Is a 1.5G acceleration automatically dangerous? Maybe it's necessary, given the circumstances. Circumstances that are never considered when the insurance company chooses an arbitrary number that conveniently boosts their revenue.
It is clear cut. You do not get to dictate the payment schedule beyond what is mutually agreed upon, or ends up being negotiated in a legal proceeding.

Being a creditor does not magically entitle you to the entire value of the loan from someone at your whim. Due process must be followed. That's risk.

Initiating or benefiting off of what amounts to a mistaken transaction by a proxy agency, which ultimately proves to be unauthorized is quite literally theft.

My goodness, I'm so glad I don't do business with most people given the responses I'm seeing in this thread. It seriously leads me to think that people need to spend some time internalizing what it means to be a responsible financial facilitator.

Hint: Exploiting clerical errors to perform margin calls isn't it. That's how you spook people out of doing good business, which makes the market that much riskier for everyone else. I hate finance, and even I grok that.
The slippery slope is at the point where a few years ago you could run any application you wanted, then you started getting some scary messages for unsigned applications but still could run applications, then you had to work around the scary messages and now you cannot run unsigned applications.

So, what follows next?

Hence the slope.

Do you know of any resources for places on water restriction? We’re moving out of the city in a few weeks to an area that allows for zero outdoor water usage other than roof catchment. I’ve got some native wildflower areas planned out but haven’t been able to find much on drought tolerant fruits and vegetable. The couple suggestions I found pointed me towards varieties that didn’t turn out to be drought tolerant once I researched further.

We’ll be in an area that gets a fair amount of precip (typical afternoon t storms) but could go a week or two with rain.
I also had some bad experiences with Fastmail, they're very aggressive at shutting down your account if billing fails (expired cc) with zero warnings. Ended up missing emails on two occasions because of this (I was using fastmail for forwarding). For recovery, they offered to read my emails to confirm my identity which was the final straw.

Sounds like a security disaster for non-technical users. It is much better to trust a specific app from now on than to trust the entire internet from now on.
> There are lots of people who are making more than minimum wage as required by the laws in their country. So this is obviously untrue.

You're doing a huge sleight of hand here that's clouding your judgement, and it's that you're confining the sample size to a single country. We live in a global economy, thus the cost of reproduction of labor is determined globally. If you have companies A and B living in the same city in California doing roughly the same job, but moving their business to Thailand would increase their profit sufficiently, then one of the companies would relocate, make more profit/beat their competition. In doing this, they have decreased the cost of wages.
It does work, there is just no instant feedback. Voting happens through firebase and when you reload the page it's not reflected immediately. Anyone knows how other platforms like Reddit solve that?
Ben Carlson covered this last year:

The equity-bond correlations have see-sawed between +0.6 and -0.6 over the decades:

> Since 1945, the S&P 500 has been down in 16 out of 74 years, with an average loss of -11.7%. In those down years, 5-year treasuries were positive 15 out of 16 times, with an average gain of 6.2%. The last time stocks and bonds were down in the same year was 1969, when the S&P fell more than 8% while 5-year treasuries were down less than 1%.

There was an interview on one of the Knowledge Project podcast episodes last year. I was driving home from work, and it was raining, so I do not recall the exact episode. But the person mentioned that they were trying to learn drums. They found a video on YouTube that taught some specific thing they were looking for. The only issue was that there was 5 minutes of film in the beginning that had nothing to do with teaching the drums.

He made the point if you had a Hollywood production team and a subject matter expert, you could make amazing online educational videos that people would actually like to watch.

The closest thing I could find now is a high school history teacher making animations on YouTube called MrBettsClass.

There is so much potential here to expand this.

Then there is the other angle. Are there best practices we could do as a nation? Not common standards that lump everyone into one category, but actual things tailored for different types of children that could maximize their learning?

I adopted this notion that every child has the potential for genius after reading the book How to Teach your Baby to Read. Its been around since the 60s. I think it comes down to a lot of one on one time with the child. You try teaching something and adapt to how they respond. Technology can only help so much in this regard. You have to be a parent that is invested in helping your child.
I remember it like this:

x - extract

c - create

z - zip (like, compress)

v - verbose

f - file

when I write the command I just say in my head what I want to do: Say I want tar xzvf:

tar extract zip verbose file

makes sense to me
Good stuff, appreciate the configs and scripting details.

Not quite there myself, but was looking at jumping to a tiling WM, and not being near xorg.
Agreed.

You also get the benefit of not pricing low skilled workers out of the labor market. It is much better for the government to subsidize a person at 40% while they are obtaining skills and building their social network, than subsidizing them at 100% while they are on their couch.

Your point on mispricing labor is often overlooked. It is important that society knows the real value of a specific skill/labor. This is important information that will drive innovation/efficiency as well as giving young people or those going through transitions in employment more guidance in decision making.
I never understood "signed software" to mean anything else than "signed software", which includes "self signed software" since that software is also signed. And "self signed software" does run in Apple Silicon, at least for now.
Don't worry, I think it's funny :) I don't think it's a problem.
I do this as well, although tried lastpass and bitwarden. It just wasn't that great and those "standalone" apps were just silly compared to keepass/keepassXc.

One thing that was a killer feature for me: keepass2Android was WAY better to in integration to my android devices. Tried to convince family to use a password manager, but lastpass was a failure on some devices. Keepass with sync to some cloud is perfect - database with multiple copies, works well.
Isn't the whole point of the UCC to remove all sorts of litigious details in contract situations like making payments?

eg, If I agree to pay my babysitter $50 and write an American-style check (aka bank draft), me and the babysitter don't need to negotiate the finer details of that payment method.

This is more of an anecdote as someone already linked the PS4 example, but: Sony lost on each sale of the PS3, sometimes a lot ($300 on launch), for years. After 4 years, they still lost around $18 per unit lost[1]. It was a costly bet that ended up not working out for them as the PS3 continued to be expensive to manufacture, while also being too complicated to program effectively. (Worse ports, perceived lower performance due to SMT differences compared to the 360, etc.)

Yea, it's a tough situation; I wish you and your family the best.

Different cities have different mask regulations, and even without mandates, many are wearing them.

Disney is open with drastic changes to how they operate: https://www.tampabay.com/life-culture/entertainment/theme-pa...

Beaches are outdoors and while they make look crowded, people often maintain more than 6 feet between each other at the beach anyway.

The numbers are going down in Florida because people finally got a taste of how serious it is and changed their behavior.

The fact that you keep downplaying behavioral changes and completely ignoring other changes like people working from home and schools being out shows you are wedded to your conclusion. Unfortunately, it is fundamentally flawed.

You've made a extraordinary claim, the onus is on you to back it up with extraordinary evidence. A couple graphs of new cases going down and a photo of a boardwalk (where nearly everyone is in a mask) is not sufficient to support your claim.

LANs are just a way of locking down the hardware and software of the competitors; they also aren't a viable option if you're unable to be physically near to your opponents.

The better way is to buy a general computing device if that's what you prefer, and let others buy their locked down devices if that's what they prefer.

Started using Keypass about a year ago, I really like it. Just wondering if Dropbox is considered a safe place to store the DB files? I did this for a while, but then I got paranoid and switched to something fully encrypted.

For sharing between devices I found Firefox Send to be useful (before it went down, hope it comes back), also Keybase filesystem is one of my go-tos as well.

Maybe I’m being overly cautious, but I sleep better at night knowing my DBs are encrypted.
Interesting how they enforce the namespaced scope for ACK custom resources. This is a logical design choice but makes it trickier for operators to use.

Say I have an operator watching all namespaces on the cluster. Since operator CRDs are global in scope it makes sense for some operators to be installed as singletons. A CR for this operator gets created in some namespace, and it wants to talk to s3 -- it has to bring along its own s3 credentials and only that CR is allowed to use the s3 bucket? You can imagine a scenario where multiple CRs across namespaces want access to the same s3 bucket.
It gets better. Respect comes with time. I would be patient and play the long game. I’ve been through this at every job I have ever had. I didn’t go to an IVY league school and others held it against me. You must not give up. Your time will come.
Are they asking management to pull out of having any operations in China and India?
