You should read the book; it's not about business. It's about power, and if you don't understand how people in power get and maintain their position, you're potentially doing yourself a disservice.

I will challenge on the term 'occasional'.

George Monbiot writes a weekly column

Owen Jones writes a regular column

Aditya Chakrabortti writes a regular column and is their senior economics commentator.

This reduces your opening paragraph to, "By regularly publishing left wingers, by employing them on its staff, by publishing left wing material, the Guardian seeks to pass itself off as a left wing paper. " Well...yes.

I should also say that the idea that the Labour anti-semitism scandal was a plot to smear Corbyn, is not universally acknowledged even amongst left wingers.
> when wages haven't gone up in 50 years

This argument is made time and time again as though it's a self-evident truth...except it's not true at all. The inflation-adjusted median personal income is higher than it's ever been.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MEPAINUSA672N

The median disposable income in the US is in the top 3 in the world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposable_household_and_per_c...

Since 1967, the middle class has been shrinking...because the upper class has been growing:

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2015/01/25/upshot/shrink...

Yes, college has gotten more expensive (and there are a lot of reasons why), but it's also worth contextualizing: the median number of years to recoup the cost of a bachelors degree, adjusted for inflation, has gone down since the 1980’s, from about 22 years to about 10 years.

This is all information you're not going to read in most news media today, because it's, well, pretty boring and doesn't generate revenue.

Yes, there are always improvements that we need to make. Healthcare is indeed a bit of a mess. There are a number of ways to fix it (and not just the one proposal you keep hearing about). Does that mean society is crumbling? Absolutely not. We're living in just about the best time in human history. But climate change is very real, and just about the most catastrophic thing we have to worry about.

>> However, your argument seems to be for a country of passive, ignorant sheep that let whoever is in the White House do whatever they want?

My argument is that people have vanishingly little power as-is anyway, as evidenced by both executive and legislative branches ignoring the popular sentiments and securing their power first and foremost. In which case, time spent in that area is an absurdly low ROI compared to just helping your neighbors with the groceries, volunteering for Habitat for Humanity, or stocking your Little Free Libraries/Pantries near you, rather than worrying what is happening in Tibet.

Any idea what your ballpark vitamin D situation was prior to catching Covid? And how much sunlight exposure were you getting on average?

My doc noticed my vitamin D level was a little low ~5 years back so he recommended I take some over the counter vitamin D supplements....which I've been taking casually since then. Obviously it's anecdotal, but I rarely ever get sick.

If this is true then the save of the installed cartridge is in danger. Gameboy cartridges are saved in volatile SRAM that run off of watch batteries when unplugged from the console. When plugged into the console the SRAM is supplied power by the console. If you had a watch battery die while plugged into this perpetual gameboy you would never be able to save the game. You’d have to leave the cartridge plugged into the gameboy to keep the state.

In this case the pool boils off slowly enough from thermal load to let decay heat reduce to the point where air cooling is adequate. So it remains passively safe unless there is a sudden loss of water from the pool.

Engineering a very resilient pond does not feel like as complex a problem as engineering highly complex cooling systems to be resilient.
That's awesome. Do you have anything more to share about it? Maybe a project link or that person's contact.
In one photo, showing a murder, the murderer is seen from the back. (as happened recently in Portland)

In another photo, he is seen from the front, somewhat peacefully protesting. (his daughter was in the vicinity and held a weapon that he could have used)

If the face had been hidden in the protest photo, then that photo would not be useful for solving the murder.
I suspect he would be heavily downvoted should he be posting in HN (anonymously of course). All in all sad to see him go.
It’s not better to keep the truth from people just because you are afraid they may make the wrong choice.

Thats depends, if the goal is maximal profitability and the cost/risk doing that is minimal then they should do it.
There's always TIPS:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasury_Inflation_Protected_S...

There is also the classic laddering strategy, where you buy bonds with a range of maturities in order to reinvest the principle from shorter maturity bonds if you anticipate rising rates on longer maturity securities, while mitigating the risk that rates do not rise (i.e. inflation never comes).
Don't forget the fact that you have the option of running pipelines on your own machines. I do this for all my projects, and only really use shared runners by mistake when I forget to set it up.

That's another great reason to be vague, because even if you were able to launch your updates at the same time on all platforms, at least on mobile the adoption rate can be relatively slow - on mobile I've measured that it takes about a week to get 80% of users to update and 2 weeks for 90%, which could leave a sizable vulnerable population.
Merchandising, both virtual and physical?

I firmly recognise that this would have a vastly different market structure, would cause tremendous pain to many in the transition, and really, that this is very likely nowhere near as remunerative, but it's not inconceivable that the game itself would be means to inject experience into people's sense of identity in order to sell them the clothing and accessories for signalling that identity to others.

I agree that it would probably make it impossible to financially justify investing in time-wasting games that would not be compelling enough for people to engage at that level.

As a disclaimer, I'm also not convinced that maximising the gross financial product of the app ecosystem is inherently the 'Right Thing' from a public policy perspective, either.
A while back I read an article about a conspiracy theory that a man named Brian lunduke was promoting, IIRC something about a connection between Mozilla donations and antifa. We'll probably never know since these agencies are tight lipped.

If you're using setState in useEffect directly in a component then you're probably doing something wrong. All the valid use cases I can think of for functionality like that should be using a wrapping hook function, rather than re-implementing functionality separately in components.

I want to agree with you, but The Donald was banned. Bing doesn't mention this and Google does. Why link to a dead site?
Yes, but no.

I am no longer able or (more importantly) interested in working 18 hour days. Like you, I now have a family, a house, pets, etc. All of them get time that was previously available for coding (and partying).

I can no longer focus as well as I could, my memory is less good, and my ability to hold concepts in my head is more constrained than it was when I was younger.

OTOH, I know a heap more. In purely technical areas, in the business domain I've ended up in, in working with people, in .. so many areas.

I am absolutely a different value-proposition to an employer than I was 20 years ago. I'm a very different employee -- not better, not worse, but suited to different aspects of the work at hand.

Motivation comes and goes. I don't find it hard to get passionate about things, but I realize now that most things are a marathon, not a sprint. A deep commitment ends up beating a flare of passion that moves on quickly to something else.

Also, burn-out is a thing for me. Not the debilitating kind (although that's totally a thing too) but the more insidious kind where you skim along, dipping in and out of the danger zone, propped up by good challenging projects, awesome co-workers, and vacations; but weighed down by stress, and bad projects, and working with jerks. Figuring out when that's happening, and how to turn things around, took me a while.

All just my views, YMMV, etc.

When I first heard about these small scale reactors 10+ years ago I remember the goals were to build them to be maintenance-free and disposable. They build a self contained unit that needs minimal labor to run, is highly failsafe, and pumps out ~50Mw for roughly 20 years. When it's done they drop the whole unit (roughly the size of a train car) into a concrete grave onsite and plug in a replacement.

I'm not sure if the goals for this project are the same, or if the goal of a low-maintenance reactor are even possible, but it sounded pretty cool.
Graeber debunked Delong's responses on these very pages.

it is a disgusting insult that you would come into this very thread, and repeat the vicious lies spread by Delong to attack Graeber.

You should be ashamed of yourself. A man has died, and you are attempting to take sides by being exceptionally dishonest about a controversy he was part of, now that the man himself cannot respond.
This is obvious nonsense, and the statement has been retracted.

It would help to be concrete with your examples to highlight what you think is missing from the standard library, since most of the time I see this commentary it's something absurd like an http server.

The only thing I can think of is an async runtime but that is both controversial and a mostly solved issue with async-std.

I say this as someone who has written extensive amounts of rust, C, and C++. The standard library is good enough, any batteries you might want to include probably fit your use cases and not mine which is why we have the crates ecosystem to begin with.
No I had not! It seems like what I was thinking.

Take the same idea and put it into Unreal Engine. Add further OS interactions like files, maybe a floating virtual window for web browsing etc.

It's different for the US than for others due to seignorage (others need the currency) but for basically everyone else, it's dangerous.

The Canadian government is about to embark on a major spending spree after the biggest spending spree in history, including possibly permanent UBI. Of course without mandate, and from a PM who has absolutely no experience in anything, and a well educated and smart Finance Minister who specializes in History and Journalism - it's very bad.

I don't see any mention on the site— do they smell like THC flower when they're smoked? Even in the fairly lefty, 420-friendly cities I've lived in, this would raise a few eyebrows, particularly at the workplace. Like cracking open an O'Doul's at a church brunch.
I have an original gmail address, going back to August of 2004 (gmail launched in beta in April, 2004). The username is a word in a non-English language that at the time had zero hits on Google. Even today, a search for that username nets < 175k results. I never signed up for anything with it and have only ever used it for email to a few close friends.

Until about 3-4 years ago, I basically didn't get any spam or these kinds of accidental "put the wrong email in the signup box". Then one-by-one, I started getting them. Facebook account request, bank signups, tinder account verification emails, twitch, the works.

Sometimes I'll get half a dozen emails clearly initiated by somebody trying to get access to some account somewhere and my email address was provided as a backup. Occasionally, I'll get notifications that somebody is trying to rest my password.

I wonder sometimes, with email and the internet being so ubiquitous and for so long, how is it that people don't honestly know their own addresses? And then I'll get peaks into the lives of these people every once in a while. Pictures from their facebook account, emails from real estate brokers, from "hookups" and so on.

Every once in a while, if there's an obvious way to contact somebody, and the emails seem like they're from legitimate people, I'll respond and say something like "wrong email address." or something. About 1 out of 20 times the person on the other end will fight back informing me that I, in fact, "am wrong about my email address and yes I can't avoid making my childcare payment this lamely."

It's gotten frustrating, the Eternal September has now impacted one of the oldest continuous ways I've used the internet, a way I've jealously guarded and preserved from spammers, scammers, and all other form of miscreant, only for that judicious and careful defense to be washed effortlessly away by people who aren't even aware what their own on-line identity is.

How much local competition is there for cop employers? I can't say I know a ton of cops but it would have to be a pretty extreme difference to actually factor into decisions on where you live.

Just solve the actual problem. Fire the cops that have lots of complaints. Promote the ones that enforce a healthy culture. Vote for sheriffs or comparable that have those priorities. Push for laws that enforce those priorities.

It's certainly no harder nor time consuming than designing and then waiting for a capitalist equilibrium. We know the actual problem, we don't need to assign a dollar value to it to prohibit it, especially since these are public employees.
Sounds reasonable, thanks!
> It reminds me a little of some culinary schools where the whole curriculum is based on French cooking, and you take like one class on "global cuisine" that covers the entire rest of the world. You can't pick one focus area and claim it's all you need for a full education.

Who said school had anything to do with having a full education? That's kind of the whole point of the unschooling movement.

Culinary Schools primarily focus the curriculum around French cooking because thats the predominant skillset that you will be required to know to work in a volume, commercial kitchen. French cooking training is a broad test of their ability to execute important techniques. It's fitting the curriculum to the students and the expectations that they have.

If you're in culinary school to begin with, you probably care about food and you will be able to teach yourself the rest from that base.

SJC is the same way. They're fitting the curriculum to the expectations and desires of their incoming students. The whole point of that education is to teach you how to think for yourself, not to fill your head with data points.

School, ...ANY... school, is just about establishing a baseline to make you comparable against your peers. Rigorous education has very little to do with it.

In both cases, I don't think you really understand the point of what you're looking at.
