> Reese Monson, a leader in the local protest movement who also helps organize security, said all the people who helped with security in Portland, including Mr. Reinoehl, were trained on de-escalation.

> “He was excellent at that,” Mr. Monson said.

> she has not seen him since three years ago, when she said family members broke off contact with Mr. Reinoehl after escalating conflicts.

> “Things are bad right now and they can only get worse,” he posted on June 3. “But that is how a radical change comes about.”

According to the article he 1) escalated conflict with his family, 2) wanted things to get worse to effect change, 3) shot a man who was spraying something at him, 4) got shot rather than arrested by the police.

This does not sound like the profile of a man who was excellent at conflict de-escalation.

Fox News did indeed set us on that path initially, but it's also silly to deny the extent of the rest of the networks' buy-in into this playbook.

Fox News' use of the "FOX NEWS ALERT" interruptions and the fear mongering were quickly replicated by all the other major cable networks in an attempt to compete. All of the networks were complicit in selling us into war with lies,

I think it's really more silly and uninformed to single out Fox News, given the current media ecology and political climate. Today's CNN and MSNBC will do things that are simply treacherous, making Fox News look tame by comparison. We're in a new era now.
I like your optimism, people would just live in inhabitable places or relocate and would be welcome, such gentlemen. I expect WWIII.
Turning My Techie Guilt into Action
If you are a manager doing a bullshit job, or managing people who are doing bullshit jobs, one of the ways out of of the bullshit (at least for yourself) is to employ more people, giveing you more people to manage. Managing people is not necessarally a bullshit job as there is a lot of compliance and HR type work to do, meaning that what you do is no longer bullshit.

You still have the problem of what to get your new staff to do so you run with what you know. more bullshit. In the military there is the concept of painting rocks to keep people busy, the epitimy of bullshit jobs.
Interesting that the emoji council adapted it for the skin tone variations in emojis:

Also cultural issues like weakening of family ties, death of community around the church etc. Increasing alienation from the “coastal elites” and the culture that is broadcast on mass media. Fall in sense of belonging to the country.

I see Hacker News' policy on personal attacks has an exception when the target is someone who's criticized Graeber. I have like a hundred comments here, so if I am a DeLong-alt, I am playing a long game.

Graeber defended the statement, but said it wasn't supposed to be Apple. Then he blamed a graduate student of Richard Wolff for the error. Then he settled on the editing error explanation.

I didn't pick the quote because it's an outlier, but because it's typical of the last chapter of Debt, and it's one that everyone understands. The whole chapter has been seriously criticized by economists in general (despite what he said in the link above about the book not being criticized except by DeLong). The other examples require specialized knowledge, but that one doesn't. DeLong tweeted out other examples, one-by-one, which is weird, but I think it's weird in general to use Twitter for arguments.

How does the post reflect worse on the author? If you read Graeber's reply here (https://crookedtimber.org/2012/04/02/seminar-on-debt-the-fir...) he accuses Henry Farrell of all kinds of unsavory behavior, in response to a mildly critical review (https://crookedtimber.org/2012/02/22/the-world-economy-is-no...). I read that online discussion when it happened, and I think most people were pretty sympathetic to Graeber, despite the Apple quote, until that response.

I am also not a Henry Farrell alt, in case you're wondering.
You were the one stating that only FP has a perfect calculus representation, and have dismissed all the posts from everyone that that proved otherwise.

I asked for the papers describing specific semantic models of two mainstream FP languages to give you the opportunity to prove your point, instead you threat to flag me, I think Dan will take his own conclusions.
This is exactly what I thought about when I saw the headline. Amazon won that case and refused to pay for the security checks, does this ruling mean that they'll have to start paying too?
It's completely clear cut before you're responsible for the animal: don't bring a pet into an unsuitable living situation. This is why the safety and environmental arguments ring hollow for me - nobody forces you to get a cat.
I'm saying mc32 listed two possibilities, but there is a third: for government to delegate to the public. The people can decide what standards of moderation they want.

That's an in-between approach, as it doesn't involve government officials drawing up a list of acceptable speech.

The philosophy is similar to that of a referendum, jury duty, or an election. It's the community who decide if a company is behaving acceptably.

None of these are ergonomic. I think that's missing the whole point of custom design, i.e., it misses the greatest opportunity to customize the functionality of a keyboard.
> Recently I started seriously looking into opportunities in FAANG.

Somewhat orthogonal to your question - but I wanted to point out that if FAANG opportunities are what you're after, doing projects is not going to help.

> it doesn't motivate me studing algorithms and data-structure just for job preparation.

That's exactly what you need to do if you wish to land a FAANG job.
Seems unlikely that virus is so prevalent to infect multiple family members that do not cohabitate but nonetheless show genetic link for BD.
Given that it was for a US audience I assumed it was adjusted for purchasing parity. After all the main point of the talk was the problem is real and caused by excess consumption.

It is an interesting point about equality given that the problem really does originate from the richer parts of the world. A subsistence farmer in Africa is going to have a carbon footprint several orders of magnitude smaller than the typical SV inhabitant.

Even now poorer countries are arguing that they should be able to increase their emissions because they haven't created the problem. At the same time politicians in the richer part of the world are terrified of falling living standards. Because of this I doubt we can fix it in time but if we did it would probably look somewhat socialistic.
Crackpots usually don’t get published in Nature. This is crackpot stuff.
> Your responsibility is to arrive at the entrance, ready for work on time (or clock in).

This seems circular, like saying you shouldn't get paid for working on a project at home because you agreed to be responsible for completing the project at home. In both cases it is a task that requires time and effort, which you are doing for the company's benefit, not your own.

Ultimately these factors are included in the employee's mind when they seek and negotiate for jobs. All things being equal, you take the job with shorter commute and same pay because the commute is part of the job in your mental calculation. You can also negotiate for more pay to offset a long commute.
I was taken with how readable it is, personally. I'd say "like python but next level" but I know at least that much history.
“The scaling hypothesis” is the name given to the idea that the existing algorithms might be all we need if we just throw more compute at it. Certainly GPT-3 is a very interesting data point here. However we definitely also need better algorithms. It’s a mix of scaling a new algorithms that will get us to AGI.
I doubt it. Is it common that everyone eventually catches that virus?

Is it possible for a musician to publish their music in a way so that everybody else can do with it whatever they like?

If so, are there already websites that deal with only this type of music? Like there is pexels.com for images?
Depending on preference, either a Thinkpad T4XX or X1 laptop.

- T4XX for modularity, performance, price

- X1 if size is important and you have cash to burn
I (and probably many people here might) have thought about that in the past as well. It will surely be great from the employee's perspective, but thinking more about it, let's say a work day is 8 hours long. What if I stay 4 hours away from the office? I come and go everyday, and technically get paid for full day's work. There has to be some limit to it from the employer's perspective.

Please note that Europe had ruled a few years back that the time spent in commuting 'for work' must be counted as work hours (e.g. plumber travelling to client's location). But employees travelling to the same office everyday were excluded from that rule as far as I remember.
Might as well charge 3x more since it's "wireless".
Would you give me $620,000 in pennies to throw in a wishing well? If one wish comes true, it’ll be worth it!

I’m OP. I work with companies globally, first of all.

But Israeli culture, in high tech, is the exact opposite. Even in my military service, I was arguing against a Lt. Colonel when I had 4 months of experience. Chutzpah is what is driving half of the local startups: CEOs have to convince their teams that regularly poke holes in their plans and ideas. Not all companies are that way, but for years I’ve been hearing from people I tend to assume too many people would speak up. First time I’m hearing I have a bias towards the other side.
This is exactly why TOML [0] is gaining traction as a simple configuration file format. Rust's cargo has been TOML from day one (`Cargo.toml`) and Python is moving this way with (`pyproject.toml`).

For more general data structures, remember that JSON is a true subset of YAML [1]: Switch to a YAML parser and you can start optionally adding comments to your files while still being compatible with legacy input.

The same kinds of people who custom keyboards are the ones doing UI design for open source software
None of these keyboards have a numeric keypad; these are for fancy design and not for heavy use.
I spent over $4,000 each on the last 2 MacBook Pro models. Good screen, bad keyboard, heavy. This year I spent $15,000 on a Mac Pro and love it. I also bought the 2019 Dell XPS 13, which is ok.

But my favorite computer purchase this year is a refurbed 2015 MacBook Air with an i7 and 1 TB SSD for $800. I tried to move away from MB Airs starting in 2017 but they remain my favorite coding environment. Screen not as good as a Retina but it works at 2560x1440 on an external monitor when I care. Slips easily into a backpack, great fit and finish, obviously plenty fast for full stack web dev.
I don't get it - is there anything preventing you using non-square images today?
There are always outliers.

Interestingly the private schools seem to be to be grading their students more accurately, the problems were more common in state schools. The moron in a private school was unlikely to get their grades inflated. I'm not a fan of private schooling but in this case they appeared to be doing the right thing.

There will always be outliers, no system is perfect but what we have just done is worse in my mind.
You can be at war, as a pacifist, in total denial of reality. That's what the USA did with China. The trade war was really active, but the USA was just taking damage without any response. The non-response was pretty dumb.
Both exist! Macros are a really common intro to custom mechs, since they're much easier than a full board, but off-the-shelf bluetooth is limited to the nice!nano currently.

This board with movable keys isn't particularly expensive relative to other boards, but I haven't heard of any custom designs: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32955084832.html
Aargh! What about using keyboard shortcuts?
thats not the point at all. You can customize the aesthetic, the functionality, the shape, size, tactility, and the ergonomics. Ergonomics are not the only goal.
It's surprising because the electronics are essentially useless. Most people would expect the electronic version would have some type of advantage, because those electronics cost extra money to produce.

I load config files as JS (not JSON). And only use JSON for data serialization. In plain JS you can have comments and dont have to put quotes around properties. Not saying everyone should have a full JS parser for their config files, but its really nice.
It's actually quite unbelievable. My local dispensary in CA is like going into a high end health food store where each employee is extremely knowledgable and able to recommend product based on your specific preference. The aesthetic is very clean and minimalist (compared to the head shops I frequented in my youth). Product descriptions have a number of seemingly standardized details listed and the employees will contextualize those for you.

Are you really trying to claim Amazon is financed by tax payer money in the USA? Can you provide examples of this investment?

Fba is monopoly because Amazon took a huge bet and invented it. Same with prime.
Yes, I had to use a keyboard with a non-IBM layout (for lack of a better description) for a while at work, it’s absolutely maddening the location where some of the keys are. Impossible to get used to when you’re using a lot of shortcuts in eg editors.
Apparently David Hahn used the radium paint from old clocks to make a neutron gun for irradiating his DIY nuclear reactor.

If you haven't heard about that, it's a remarkable story about a precocious kid who could put Ferris Bueller to shame. He cons material supply companies, gets arrested for stealing smoke detectors, and single-handedly creates a superfund site. And in the end, he gets to fulfill his dream of working with nuclear energy by serving on a nuclear aircraft carrier.

Honestly, it reads like a movie script and makes me ashamed of how I squandered my youth:

Also, if you can find a PDF of "The Golden Book of Chemistry Experiments" which that article occasionally quotes...wow. How did kids survive the '70s? Page 35, "making chlorine gas in the home lab"...
I'm just amazed that you can declare this and nobody makes any comment. How is this not a completely outragious statement? What type of society can tolorate the police being a net risk to the people they are ostensibly there to protect.

Ok, yes I know I'm completely ignorant of how the US works. The thing that scares me that your society is infecious, and I never want to see this in my part of the world.
A clarification: these are interviews with people who assemble custom keyboards, I was expecting chats with the people who actually design and produce custom keyboards (like yuktsi, Rama, Wilba, ZealPC, etc...)

Still, very cool to see what people are building. I've just recently fallen down into the rabbit hole of custom keyboards, after my Apple Keyboard stopped working. As someone who spends almost half my life at a keyboard, I'm surprised it took this long for me to look into improving the tool I interact with most every day.

A nuclear waste reprocessing program should be 100% government run, or at least government controlled, because part of the process involves refining the plutonium that could then be used to make nuclear weapons. This is why most countries don't reprocess their spent fuel, it's considered a nuclear weapon proliferation risk to reprocess, and the downside of accumulating spent fuel waste is considered minor in comparison to the risk. Buying spent waste from neighbors would be unexpected, because (a) waste reprocessing is more than self-sufficient, and (b) there's not much in the way of transportation infrastructure because countries are extremely cautious not to lose track of spent reactor fuel due to proliferation concerns.

The reason for not dumping it in the ocean is exactly as stated above. It's extremely valuable, in large part because of the plutonium content, and it's senseless to throw away something so valuable that the nation may eventually have a need for.
Wait, the OP news source is a strict liberalization of policy. When you say "why not allow both" what is the thing that you believe is not allowed and why do you believe that it is not?
Haha yeah JSON is a terrible config format. As another poster mentioned, no comments. But the other big problem is inconsistent serialization. Null vs missing props, conversion of "true" to true. I've lost track of the number of times I've had to workaround differences in the serializer vs deserializer on other end.

It's really quite bad format for how ubiquitous it's become.
I really wanted to be a keyboard snob but it just didn’t stick.

Mushy keys give me tendinitis on the backs of my hands.

The cherry browns on my one keyboard were okay, but not worth twice an old school Microsoft natural. And people talk about the clacking bothering others but what about the clacking bothering me?

My dirty secret is that the most comfortable keyboard I’ve ever used is the Apple wired USB keyboard they discontinued. Especially for face-rolling computer games. Hours and hours with no fatigue.

I wish I’d started collecting them the moment they were discontinued. I only own three and have a habit of killing them with beverages every couple of years. I’m one accident from having a home keyboard and a work one and no backups.

I don’t know why everyone wants keyboard with a long throw, like we are using typewriters. (Oddly though I’m the opposite for mice: give me a keyboard light as a feather and a mouse built like a neutron star)
Many developers get along just fine with no numpad. We're not accountants.

Taiwan tightens rules around firms sharing tech with China
Im sure there are better answers here but my main issue is that attributes and child elements offer duplicate functionality.

You could have <point><x>4</x><y>5</y></point> or you could have <point x=4 y=5 />. There is often no consistency within a single spec over how this should be done let alone between different specs.

JSON feels much more logical to me as well as being a whole lot simpler. If only it supported comments.
I went for an ergodox when covid WFH started, to prioritize ergonomics... Loved it so much that I got the hotdox kit from Alpaca to build a second one with better switches (I went with the Zealios 68g, could go on a whole rant about how much I love these switches). I have 4 layers with all of the different symbols that I’d normally use on/near the home row, which means no more hand twisting while reaching for symbols.

I didn’t ever notice discomfort after working for 8+ hours straight, until it was no longer there. Literally had no idea - but my wrists, arms, and hands all feel so much better these days.
That's more or less what terrapower plans to build: dig a hole fill it with nuclear stuff and let it burn for decades.
I type all day long and have no need for a numeric keypad. I prefer having more real estate on my desk rather than occupy space with no purpose.
Wasn't Graeber explicitly anti-Marxist? Graeber is from the anarchist tradition, which was as critical of Marxism as of capitalism.
One does (it's a southpaw, numeric keypad on the left). A few are TKL (full size keyboard without the numpad).

Actually, as a programmer, I pretty much never use the numeric keypad. But when I start seeing smaller layouts with no arrow keys, Fn keys, or even number keys, I tend to agree: there's a definite trade off between function and aesthetics. The beauty of custom keyboards is people get to decide those trade-off's themselves.
Does that still happen? I thought that the ability to spoof IP addresses in torrent networks ended that. The accuser not only has to prove that the IP address hosted the file, but also that it was not spoofed; an impossible ask

I think it would still be pretty safe to wear every day

Whole body Ambient radiation dose is about 0.3 rem/year. You could assume your wrist is about 1% of this or 0.003 rem. 30x would be 0.09 rem.

The OSHA safety limit is 75 rem per year to the hands of workers, which is about 800x higher than the watch.
For this reason, we were able to own the bottomless namespace pretty easily
Yeah well I'm 45 and fucked.
Once way to think of this is as an effort get a greater than 30% cut on the App Store. One of the things I’m supposed to be purchasing with that cut as a developer is discoverability. If users search for my app by name and somebody else’s app comes up first, it starts to feel like 30% isn’t getting me the full offering.

Now, I might go buy some ads from Facebook, because they provide a good value there. In the future, my only choice will be Apple, who won’t have to compete on price anymore because they cornered the market.
