So while I agree with your facts here, I would also like to point out that there are other things besides parenting that are also non-negotiable but are neglected.

1. Yes, children need self-care. But so do adults. Just as it is wrong to tell someone they can't take care of their child, I'd say it's equally wrong to tell an adult that they can't, for example, get their exercise time, because I would consider that also a human necessity. You risk early death if you do not exercise. For medical reasons I don't need to state here, the risk may be even higher for me personally if I don't get that time. Other adults have other medical conditions they need to attend to. However, not all workplaces recognize these as on par with taking care of children.

2. Those that choose not to have children may also be playing essential roles in our society in their off-hours. Heck, they may be volunteering at the Red Cross and saving other children from death, who knows, that may be why they chose not to have kids. Should we judge?

3. Let's not underestimate how important mental health is to society. People will die (from various causes, including suicide) if they are made to work late every day. Yes, I agree that children need to be taken care of. But the response to that shouldn't be to take an unreasonable work share given to a working parent and shove the excess onto the single/child-less workers in the same organization to slave away for 80 hours a week. This actually happens, and I have seen it happen. Instead, the response should be to give everyone a fair, normal 40-hour work share and let them do whatever they need or want to with their spare time.
That’s like the argument for net neutrality because one side already paid for the service. Why can’t both sides pay?

I am an advocate for open source, but I am just wondering in principle what is your argument exactly?
On average, you are technically correct. But the US also has the greatest disparity in funding, which isn't visible on your link but is absolute basic conventional wisdom for any discussion of US education.

Fifteen of the fifty states had per-pupil funding less than the OECD average. Our median-funded state is around Canada, around 13th in the world. If Utah were a country, it would rank in the 30s, somewhere around the Slovak Republic.

Why couldn't they have put the key in user-resettable memory which erases the disk encryption key when cleared, like with TPMs for example? It was a poor design to even allow it to be used this way.
It's such a fake non-issue. It's just to get America involved in the ME on behalf of another country's interests.

I thought so too at first about the editorialized title, but there's this quote from the document:

The antibodies from infected people are being shown to last somewhere on an average of 3 months.

Kinda hard to be immune if you have nothing to protect you.

How sick you get from the disease is irrelevant in this context.
At a certain point, the choice between: "Do I want to lose a few days of my life to a disease with a tiny chance of a bad outcome?" vs "Do I want to lose a year+ of my life not doing what I enjoy?" becomes overwhelmingly obvious.

In March/April - I didn't leave my apartment for a month (besides tossing trash across the hall).

I still avoid most any indoor spaces, wear n95 masks and am not planning any plane travel (one of my biggest enjoyments) or visiting friends/family indoors this winter...

But I'm starting to seriously debate licking every door knob I pass just to get it over with already.

I do also, but then I do have to pinch myself and remember some of the cutting edge software that really does make use of the hardware - i.e. games, video editing, neural networks, etc. I know we could already do these things on lesser machines, but there is no doubt that the level of which they are currently done could not be replicated on a lesser machine. And also remember the efficiency of systems such as web servers, todays average usage would be a DoS attack of the past.

I do look in disappointment though at text editors, window managers, file viewers, etc - that despite having much more computing power, offer not many more features but still eat tonnes of resources.

I'm currently (slowly) working on a Window Manger for X11 which tries to bring back some of these ideas but for modern devices: https://github.com/danielbarry/oakwm/ It's built on top of wm2 (which itself has roots going back to Bell Labs plan9). A lot of the work is in ripping out the unnecessary features and making it touch friendly. The idea is to run it on the PineTab Linux tablet.
Yeah I hope the title isn't change, Apple has literally accused epic of "Willful, brazen and unlawful conduct"
My point is in “death to _nouns_” there should not be nouns more deserving or less deserving of the treatment. All nouns deserve the same treatment.

It’s like saying death to commies or death to all Marxist sympathizers is okay but death to Capitalists is not okay. No, either all are okay or none is okay.

This is literally a quote from one of the participant interviews, so yes, it does seem to be the case.
The issue here is that not everyone has that landscape (and as we know, doesn't want to destroy the view). I grew up in the US midwest--no hills for miles on which to build railcars, pump hydro etc.
Ask HN: What in wix/square space do dislike most?
If you have have built a website or tried to with Wix or Squarespace what did you find most annoying?

I've been working on a new product to build websites, and I'm going to start the second iteration of development. Your answer can help a lot.

I'm mostly interested in targeting the market for simple website builders for the non-tech-savvy. Hence the mention of these two services that I think own a large part of this market.
I'm going to be the devil's advocate here. Why should I have to cope with you absences while there is no downside for you but many for the rest of us? Ask for less hours, flexible schedule or delegate your responsibilities to someone else when you can't show up or when you risk getting called. Just because you have children doesn't mean you are entitled than me.
The "this is for security" argument would make sense if they only locked CPUs that were sold by the vendor together with the motherboard, or if they had an action that an administrator could affirmatively take to lock the CPU.

But automatically, permanently "poisoning" any CPU that's inserted into the socket after a single boot? That sounds like it's being done for economic reasons.

They want to turn the used CPU market into a sketchball market for lemons so that everyone is so scared that they only buy board+CPU combos directly from the vendor rather than trying to save a few pennies here and there.
Oh the UEFI code is run by the main processor.. somehow I had always assumed it was running on some micro-processor on the mobo.

There aren't that many taboo words in America. You can validate that by watching a few episodes of most any Netflix or cable tv drama. Europe, however, actually has illegal words. It is illegal to say heil hitler in germany or display nazi symbols. And I believe france has certain english words banned from official use.
There's some things in 86 that are even more interesting imo, mainly FTP support is finally being removed. Crazy that something so integral to the early web is now not even worth supporting in the browser.
Original author of K-9 here (but not an active dev).

Also the person who added that text to the description...probably about 5 years ago.

My only real complaint is that Google pulled the app with zero notice. It feels abusive to pull apps from the Play store for a non-malicious violation of the terms (that may well predate those terms) like this.

Even a 48 hour notice of "we will remove your app if you don't change the description" would have been pretty reasonable.

The solution is straightforward and the team is already on top of a resubmission with an updated description. This is absolutely not a hill I want to die on.
Facebook isn't the kind of platform where everyone is equal. Facebook's main function is to decide what people see, and what they don't see. That's what happens in everyone's news feed, and with the ads. For example, prioritizing "group" content over news predictably leads to more consumption of fake news and extreme content (and it was predicted: https://mondaynote.com/facebook-is-done-with-quality-journal... ) The alternative is to accept that FB has this power, be accountable and transparent about it, and take responsibility for the type of content that gets promoted.

Not yet. We will in 5 years time when their resale value meets our budgets.

I work in a rather budget-constrained lab environment. “Beg, borrow, steal” is the order of the day. Just today I was pricing out pre-loved Gen8 HPs. In 5 years time I could be exactly the hypothetical the article outlines.

This isn’t today’s problem - it’s a problem we’re creating today. We’ll hit it when your examples start retiring them and my example are eager to recycle them.

The punitive damage could as simple as Apple putting you out of business if you rely mostly on your iOS app to survive.

We've seen this many times, it's not exclusive to the case against Epic.
Given how many companies Apple has acquired over the last few years pretty sure they are much further ahead in the AR/VR space than Facebook/Valve.

They just have a tendency to keep things under wraps until the big reveal.

They were normal stackable circular wooden stools, not piano stools. I offered them on Facebook Marketplace and this piano teacher responded saying they needed extra seating for recitals and could use the stools. That seemed the most worthy cause I saw in the first 24 hours so I give away the 20 extra stools to that teacher.

(Incidentally, I do play piano, but the 5 stools I ordered weren't intended for piano use on my part, I was just using them for overflow seating for friend gatherings.)
Yes - and no, I know lots of people including myself who have things like older dual socket Dell R710 as home test hypervisor servers. Also a very tiny percentage of people will bother to ever upgrade the CPUs on them.

For home lab stuff... When people buy a $200 used Dell R610 off ebay with two 8-core CPUs they most likely expect to use it in the exact same CPU configuration. Maybe add RAM. And probably use their own choice of SATA 6Gbps SSD in the drive trays instead of whatever old, possibly unreliable used spinning drives might come with it.

I have a 4U, quad socket Dell R910 with 32 total cores and 256GB of RAM that I got for $350. I'm absolutely not going to go messing around with replacing the CPUs on it with something I've purchased from ebay. When it's too old or slow, or I'm tired of having a 500W electrical load in my garage, I'll replace it with another thing that's come off a 3-4 year lease cycle.
So glad I am using a ROM with signature spoofing so that fdroid can keep my apps up to date without me prodding it.

Honestly curious, what are these "personal obligations" that are similar to educating and entertaining children during their waking hours in dual-career homes after childcare and in-person school went poof?

What I'm seeing overall is a shocking lack of empathy for that situation and seeing home-parenting obligations during a pandemic as not being too dissimilar from taking time to binge Tiger King or take a road trip.
It’s @FacebooksTop10 and it’s run by Kevin Roose who is a tech writer for NYT. He focuses some of his time on how hate speech and conspiracy theories thrive on Facebook, which is pretty interesting.
Damn, I used to spend hours and hours as a kid on the dan-ball.jp version of this, what a throwback.

I'd argue that engagement is the wrong metric. For example, when Microsoft made the Windows Phone OS, they tried to keep interactions with the phone as brief as possible. Palm, too, had a three-click-maximum rule for their UI design.

If we can't think of a good metric that should apply to everyone, just give users more control over what they see so they have a chance of figuring out something for themselves.

3. Self hosted, Wordpress because its easier for my partner to use. Eventually want to do a flutter app for this.

A nice way to preserve and document the uniqueness of Fijian/Fiji Indian food and something different to do apart from coding.
The comparison is bogus again. Steam is an independant company with real competition ( epic including) and I can drop it on a moment's notice.

Yup, internal space is a very valid issue, given that cheap weights are probably big. I'd worry about oscillations for a high-up, suspended weight too.

Regarding justifying the cost--obviously depends what the cost is. If it's really just the generator, cabling etc, it might work as a short term load balancer. I saw somewhere about GE investing $X millions to smooth turbine output over 5min intervals.
Modern software is nearly always worse than the ones decades ago. I still use MS Office 2003 as that was the last version with Clippy

It's not an article link, so don't see how it can be editorialized. The title itself is a quote from the document as well.

> Epic fired the first shot in this dispute, and its willful, brazen, and unlawful conduct cannot beleft unchecked. Neither Mr. Sweeney’s self-righteous (and self-interested) demands nor the scale ofEpic’s business can justify Epic’s deliberate contractual breaches, its tortious conduct, or its unfair business practices. This Court should hold Epic to its contractual promises, award Applecompensatory and punitive damages, and enjoin Epic from engaging in further unfair business practices
Agreed. There are so many infuriating software bugs I've hit by "something was watching file X and tried to consume it mid-write and pooped it's pants because there was invalid data".

Not small things, either - I mean like "IIS crashed all our apps are down we have minutes before SLA problems".

There's a clear distinction between the U.S. Government and the CCP. There's valid opposition and differing opinions _within_ Washington. The same cannot be said of CCP.

Yeah but now we're getting into the land of international relations. This is becoming awfully abstract from the original topic.

Also I think you're missing some nuance here, which is that the people arguing in favor of this would indeed do a lot more to admit emigrants/refugees here, it's just that they aren't in power and don't run the government. So they can't be hypocrites for advocating for something they genuinely would do if only they were able to.
Who is Carol Reese? And how is she related to Corel and WordPerfect?!
Sorry for repeating myself, but gravity is weak. If you hang a 500t weight in a 150m vertical tunnel, it only holds 500 * 1000 * 9.8 * 150 = 735000000 J, or 735 MJ, that is, 204 kWh.

A Tesla model 3, basic model (MSRP ~$38k) has battery capacity of 50 kWh, so we're talking about four Tesla 3's.

I don't think digging a 150m hole is cheaper than four Teslas - and Teslas come with the rest of the car you can use for driving.
Parenting is a full time job. We have been brainwashed by feminists that all of us can do everything. Maybe reset assumptions. Covid brings home lessons.
No disrespect intended.

Agreed, not all of us go deep on all things. I am biased towards being open to new experiences and continuing to learn and develop over the course of our lives, and do think it's good for people, and important, and that includes the arts.

I think part of the beauty of film (including TV), music, and literature (those three things in particular), is just how much really good stuff is easily accessible and easily available these days. Video games, too.

The real barrier is lack of familiarity and lack of that one person to introduce / guide you, in my heavily biased and optimistic opinion : ).

It's why the kids with the older siblings often knew about all the cool music ; ).

You really aren't understanding that we are talking about societal choices writ large, not about individual choices. Think bigger. If enough people make the individual choice not to have children then civilization is kaput.

It's fascinating to see the differences in how automobile traffic was accepted in different cities and cultures. America is pretty much as described in the above passage. On the other hand a good chunk of European cities are decidedly pedestrian and bicycle friendly. And the fight is still ongoing across South/SE Asia, where cars, motorcycles, pedestrians (and sometimes animals) all claim right of way.
>> I hope I'm not coming off as anti-children but while parents couldn't have anticipated the pandemic and its impact, they need to react to the circumstances. If their home situation requires it, then they should switch to part-time or even quit temporarily.

Putting a family units safety and wellbeing should be a last resort solution. Major disruptions in a kids early life can have seriously negative effects on their future.

> You don't get promotions/pay hikes/bonuses for taking garbage out. Those are given to ppl who ship products directly bringing in tthe revenue.

I'd disagree. Pay hikes and bonuses, maybe. But promotions are likely to go to someone who is stable and reliable. Why would you promote the fastest coder out of a coding job? Tech leads and managers are often the ones most comfortable in the system and the one who doesn't yell at others when he's interrupted.

The other little thing a lot of people forget is that it's hard to get anything done in a room full of garbage. So this often leads to better things for the team.
It's always good to focus on one course. just pick one and go with it. CS50 in particular is very introductory. It made to accommodate basically those who have never heard of programming before.
Huh? You're not allowed to walk into someone's home and steal their stuff because we have something called a legal system that will punish you.

There is nothing in our legal system that compels you to care about future generations -- at least not in the way you're proclaiming.
