It's not fundamental, but it makes the whole situation less predictable and extreme scenarios (both good and bad) far more likely.
Fraternal order police chapters put one out in every state.
I remember hearing something about the Cell processors on Playstation 3's being the ones with manufacturing errors. The 100% good ones were supposedly sold to the US military. I realize that second part was probably just a myth. Who knows, maybe it was all an internet myth! The PS3 was released in 2006, so the idea itself is not new.
Imagine operating on something like a stack.

x = *stack--; // pop 'x' off of the stack
*++stack = y; // push 'y' onto the stack

This way is simple, direct, and it avoids inconsistent state.
In addition to talking to local representatives, you could also not have kids, refrain from meat, and be conservative about air travel.

But ultimately, we are all tied in this together. It might be a weird irony that many of the same people on HN who are concerned about climate change work for companies that look to optimize consumption. Not pointing fingers, just saying... we probably need serious government interference to hey things under control. But nobody (including me) wants that.
This is why I haven't plunked down the money to go to the 2019 model when my early 2013 model isn't quite half as fast. The only thing I will be missing is that this laptop won't be able to run the new OS coming out in the fall.

As for your second point about addiction: you are entering the realm of the highly subjective, randomly deciding which things are addicting and which are worthy. I'm uninterested in that discussion. How do you even determine which things are capable of bringing people long term joy and which aren't? Are videogames worthy? Are movies? Is the fleeting less worthwhile than the permanent? Etc.

America is a failed state. Every single other industrialized country has universal healthcare, free universities, paid vacation, paid maternity leave. I could go on.

And these things are not on the table. They are not, nor have they ever been, really considered -- at least not for the last 50 years. The recent candidate who ran on this platform, Bernie Sanders, was widely loved by the public and absolutely slated by the media.

The wealthiest in America are fine but the poor are more miserable than some third-world countries. The country is falling apart and there's really no opposing force, trying to stop it.

There was at least some level of accountability for US Army members after the Abu Ghraib scandal [0], while I haven't heard about any CIA employee being held accountable in a similar way.

It's one thing to support an authoritarian regime with torture cells because it gives you cheap oil, it's another thing to do it yourself, with your own personel, because with this you lose your moral superiority and tarnish your own reputation. I'm not saying the former is great, it's bad, but that regime is not beholden to the US constitution, laws and judges, unlike the US federal employees.

A good point I heard a senator make in her confirmation hearings [1]: Even if she wasn't involved in torture at all, (and she was), alone the fact that Trump nominated her because he believed she was involved, turns the decision about her nomination into a decision about torture, no matter how much she regrets it in her letter to Sen. Warner (and the letter's regret was minimal).

Zoom is not allowed by our security policies at work. If I can say no due to security concerns, I can say no for other reasons.
As much as I abhor Putin, he sort of has a point, if you look at the geopolitical history since the breakup of the Soviet Union. At the time, the US and western Europe were quick to bring many of the former republics into their fold, then into NATO (despite promising not to do so), which Putin sees as an affront and a threat to Russia's sovereignty, which in turn is why he finally invaded Ukraine (twice!) as well as Georgia: He will not tolerate NATO at his doorstep.

As for why Putin still sees the West as the enemy, I don't think we can analyze Putin outside the context of the Soviet Union. He doesn't quite want to bring it back, but it's abundantly clear from his statements that he's never abandoned the idea that Russia has a claim to Eastern Europe (if not outright as its ruler, then certainly as a cultural protector), that he sees Western culture as encroaching on Russia's. From his perspective the West is out to get Russia. That's a legitimate geopolitical concern, of course; all states desire to protect their sovereignty and sphere of influence. What's unusual is that Russia has been able to wield so much military and cultural power relative to its small size, which is why we're even talking about it. I think it's incredibly scary just how much better Putin is at playing this game than the seemingly gullible Western powers.

Where it gets tricky is Putin's other side as a cold-hearted authoritarian gangster keeping a tenuous network of equally gangster oligarchs in place. If Russia ever becomes democratic and its judicial system restored, Putin would end up going the way of Saddam Hussein. (He's not going to get the Idi Amin treatment.) So you can't see Putin's political moves exclusively through the lens of statesmanship either; in choosing to be a ruthless kleptocrat, he's ruled out the possibility of a peaceful succession, and that's yet another complex factor driving the fate of Russia.
sorry but this example is too contrived for me to understand. why am I overextending myself for some call center employee because they didn't just call me? (without Skype)
I actually wrote about that guy not long ago. His name is Mike O'Connor, and he owns bar.com, grill.com, place.com, and television.com, among others.

Probably his most famous domain was corp.com, which was recently bought by Microsoft because it turns out that older versions of Windows and other Microsoft products actually invited people to use corp.com for their internal Active Directory names. Problem is, when those machines are outside the internal network, they're constantly trying to share passwords and other sensitive data with corp.com.

And indeed, in this case it's already being broken down by microorganisms before it reaches the atmosphere.

I have experience with affinities (I don’t know the k8s name for them) where it is crucial to achieving low latency (way sub microsecond RTT). Depending on your app’s architecture, it can be a major boon to bandwidth as well.

On inheritance: https://www.sicpers.info/2018/03/why-inheritance-never-made-...

On encapsulation: I joke that encapsulation on a level of an object is like putting a lockpad on your right pocket to protect your left hand from reaching to it.

Normal people keep doors and locks at the entrance of a door or a room (module level), not on every single object they have. That's why OOP software tends to look so schizophrenic: with walls erected between everything against everything, making stuff like https://github.com/Hello-World-EE/Java-Hello-World-Enterpris... possible.

You might check some of my blogposts at dpc.pw if you care to read more of my thoughts on this.
One could also advocate for truth and reconciliation with victims, alongside an amnesty for all past police crimes. Finding any kind of masterminds behind the current culture and bringing them to justice doesn’t feel tractable.

The situation sometimes feels bad enough to warrant drastic measures, though these feelings have increased a lot since I expatriated, but the linked article is also genuinely shocking.
Any diet can be described as just "summing" ingredients.

There's no magic here that could in theory prevent replacing part or all of a diet with differently derived foods.

This protein by itself would potentially just be a small part of a healthy diet, but it's the start of something bigger.
The ones who will use a VPN to access stuff, are generally of above average IQ, who are less susceptible to propaganda. Not entirely immune, but less susceptible.

Leaving that aside, bans have a very real impact, even if there are other channels to access banned content. You cannot advertise banned content, you cannot distribute it en-masse, you cannot hold competitions, etc, etc. All these have massive effects on the marketing and sales channels.

Sure, some %age of people will use it from VPNs and stuff, but those are few and far between.

In case of online games, people may simply move to other games like Fortnite or what not.

I know tech-savvy software developers of mine, who hardly side load apps. Why? Side loading apps when a secure and curated app store is available is generally avoided due to security and other issues.

In India, with every smartphone having digital payment apps, and the prevalence of scams and frauds, most middle class, urban teens and adults will generally avoid side loading apps. You can safely assume that many in rural areas, are not even aware of side loading stuff.
Absolutely not. We're not fine with those things and we ban people for astroturfing and other abuses. I believe that is the one thing that's in both the site guidelines and the FAQ: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html. That's how important that is.

It's just that we need to have some evidence, something objective to go on, before we ban people. Absent that (<-- note that I said absent that), what one is encountering on the internet is a gigantic Rohrschach diagram, in which people routinely see the opposite of what they like or identify with. This internet experience is like being surrounded by demons of one's own creation: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Sock puppet accounts and vote manipulation are not what I understood BrianOnHN to be talking about upthread. Maybe one could adapt the point to those cases though. Imagine someone who was coordinating inauthentic behavior so cleverly that we couldn't detect it at all. Fortunately I don't think we're there yet—but of course we wouldn't know it if we were. Either way, just imagine for a moment that this is the case. What are our options? The way I see it, we have two:

1. Go after each other based on subjective interpretations of whatever deviousness we imagine we see;

2. Have a functioning community with a healthy immune system based on clear thinking and good arguments.

Surely we all choose #2, at least in our better moments. The key insight here is that #2 doesn't depend on what manipulators, even the cleverest manipulators, do. It depends on us. I'm not saying that it's the only defense we have against manipulation; I'm saying that if the day ever comes when it is the only defense we have, well, it's what we ought to be doing anyway, so we should work at getting good at it now.
If I understood lend000 correctly:

> The fact that Intel's only new releases on 10nm are <=6 core low power products suggests their yields are still poor.

Their argument was that, had they followed AMD's approach, they would be able to produce desktop and server chips despite being yield-limited to "<= 6 core" per chiplet.
I have a 3 letter Twitter username (@kob) and the amount of spam I get is rather ridiculous. I've thought about changing it a few times but not yet.

I emailed RMS on 2019-02-19, with a subject line, "What's bad about: Zoom.us". Somehow Zoom was missing from his pages as an example of unacceptable software/service (I see it's finally there, but very barebones compared to the rest of the examples -- http://stallman.org/zoom.html).

Let me quote his select quote from my email, and the start of his reply:

---

> I really enjoy your What's-bad-about series. Any chance you can do one for Zoom.us?

I never heard of that. What does it do? I would guess that since I
never head about it then it isn't important enough to mention.

---

Yes, 2019. With Zoom having a billboard at SJC and plenty of other airports, not to mention every other phone interview for a software engineering role being done over Zoom.
If you've ever flown over the midwest - the opposite of that would be wild. More like Yellowstone and less like corn fields.

"Feel free to disagree, but I have tons of data so I’m not even going to debate."

Why say you have tons of data and not just post it? If there's tons of it, it should be easy to find and post one link showing direct correlations between undergrads in research earning in the 5-10 percentile.

It's funny how you can say "One or the other usually suffices. Yes, usually. Spare me your anecdata about that one professor you still hate." when whatever evidence you have to support your "Yes, usually" is probably exactly that. When I was referring to "work experience" I was emphasizing the point that there's the "work experience" being referred to still doesn't factor in teaching which is a large part of what the job should entail.

And a 200k starting salary isn't too impressive when the time taken to get a PhD can be used to get that salary in the industry. 5+ year senior engineers can be seen getting 200+ total compensation on levels.fyi and I personally know people who make beyond that with even less experience than that.

What I'm saying is that the school system is broken and isn't structured to incentivize good teaching. Some hiring processes for university staffs don't even take it into account even when some of their salaries and facilities are paid by students. If you want your kid to actually learn something then I'd suggest vetting colleges by other metrics that actually indicate something about the quality of education he'll be receiving and not the quality of education his lecturers received.

My wife and I have "OG" name based gmail addresses. We only get about 5 emails a week not to us nowadays, but we have also given up trying to route the stuff to people. Somehow we've made it onto government distro lists, business travel itinerary lists and the normal distros.

The worst was when my wife began receiving outage alerts from a Fortune 100 company's NOC. Not just simple Nagios alerts, but detailed technical information accompanying the alert. When we attempted to notify their security team they threatened us for having "hacked" their system. Turns out they realized a former employee added their personal address to the distro when they left so they could help with the transition.

What's amazed me down the years is where some random user will reveal they are the developer behind some well known software, or the author of a famous book etc. Then when you look at their profile you'll see that they've been a member for years but only have a small amount of karma.
Stretch those dollars.

Put a little money in your car, if you can. Keep it running well, it'll use less gas. Making a new car makes a ton of carbon. Getting every last mile out of what you got helps everyone.

Look for stuff that will last forever. A good set of boots you oil will last a long, long time. You can get them resoled. Iron skillets are super cheap and will outlast you. The stupid handle will fall off of a cheap skillet.

The number one thing is make the most of what you got. Stuff wears out. Next time around, look for stuff that'll last longer. Look for second hand stuff that can be repaired. there's a lot of great old tools out there that'll give years of service.

(this is basically just the first two parts of reduce, reuse, and recycle. the first two have the biggest impact.)

I'm not saying you have to agree with me about which things are or aren't worthy. All I'm claiming is that it is possible for something to be addictive and not worthwhile, and so to show that something is worthwhile you need to do more than showing that someone was willing to pay for it. Do you disagree with that much?
It's more likely that Patreon will turn into YouTube than it turn cancerous. They have the creators and they have the eyeballs; there is no need for those creators to be on YT to "reach wider audience" because those freeloaders aren't paying them. If Patreon could become the YT of paid content, it could be huge.

Then again, YT can turn Patreon functionality on in a blink, offer everything for free and then some, offer features to subscribers that Patreon doesn't have, and over time, slowly, erode a big chunk of their users.

Even though Snap has not completely died yet, Instagram was able to suck out their oxygen pretty bad by simply offering a wider audience to the creators. YT can't pull the same trick here, but once they found what works, it's only a matter of time.

It will be interesting at the very least.
This has been my primary solution for months. The mouse and keyboard are connected to desktop, and laptop monitors are "above" the desktop in the settings. But really I have to physically switch the monitor inputs. Now what I need to do is combine the two tools, so when I go off the screen it switches inputs. Only issue I have with it, it seems to prevent the screen saver from kicking in, but haven't cared enough to figure out why.
