They are not analogies. This case is centered around video game distribution. The comparisons are, in that respect, spot on. What job do you have that requires you to make in app purchases in a video game?

I don’t think this is such a big deal. Every programmer needs to become sufficient in bash because odds are you’re going to log into another computer which only has bash or csh, and likely you need to modify someone’s bash script. It’s probably best for beginners to learn bash first, and for intermediate users to switch to fish once they understand the concepts.
> Maybe you watched a movie about white supremacists when you were a child and it stick to your mind.

Well, I:

* Lived near a sundown town.

* Watched one of my closest friends get recruited by an associate of David Duke and slowly get indoctrinated into white supremacy.

* Had a white kid in high school proudly tell me about the time they "beat the shit out of that nigger" just because they didn't like the way he looked at them.

* Watched half a schoolbus full of elementary school kids joke about "porch monkeys".

* Grew up in a city named after one plantation in a neighborhood named after another one.

But, sure, yeah, I must be imagining it all.

> Because it is unsubstantiated.

I provided a link to lots of articles about white supremacy in the US. It is you who have provided no counter-evidence.
The number probably came from looking at what brick and mortar stores do. Typically stores "mark up" products by 40% from their distributors. And if you think about it, that's effectively what Apple does, but in this case, the distributor (aka app developer) has to "mark-up" the price to cover the cost incurred by selling in the app store. In general this practice is pretty common in retail.
A story by "Reuters staff" starts: "Denmark said". It's like an AI wrote it and doesn't know countries don't talk. Or just bad writing.

Sounds like a horrible policy though.
Twitch also has its own broadcasting tool it is pushing.

Rough numbers, but I get 917 million tons of coal consumed in the US (2014) and 130 million tons of fly ash (2014), or roughly 14% of the total input.

Still a lot, and nasty stuff, but less than half, to pick a nit.

Why do you use buggy C++ and proprietary Qt when there is superior alternative called Free Pascal + Lazarus?
It produces cross-platform GUI (Windows, Linux, Mac) using native GUI control (QT does not). Pascal is also readable and Pascal programs are not full of exploits like C++ software.

The article takes aim at Bezos's famous "14 Leadership Principles" [1] and I think very wisely so.

These principles are severely lacking. The word "ethic" does not appear. Even the bullet point devoted to employees is framed entirely around employee output ("Leaders raise the performance bar with every hire and promotion.").

> Leaders have relentlessly high standards — many people may think these standards are unreasonably high. Leaders are continually raising the bar and drive their teams to deliver high quality products, services, and processes. Leaders ensure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.

Read this in the context of their current behavior around factory workers to understand how sick the mindset truly is.

Leaders should have relentlessly high standards for themselves. They should not expect humans to perform manual labor at super-human levels. That's called abuse.

About a month ago I got a 'still interested?' email that I could click on a link to say I was.

Looks like they were using ConvertKit.

Issues with email tracking has been a known issue for over a decade, so you would hope they would have that as part of their service. Might be worth using a test email to try it out.
Well we aren't just consumers, we are also citizens. Forcing ads into your devices sounds like a collective action waiting to happen, especially if it's done via an update. And further down the road some sort of advocacy group/lobbying may be in order.
I realize for people on HN, who live in magic rich people land where money is no concern spending a bunch of money on expensive light bulbs is no issue, but for those of us without large six-seven figure salaries, i'm not spending more that a few dollars per bulb. I've got better things to put my money towards.
It's a hypothesis that the difference would be immense. You're assuming people's present day decisions are highly impacted by expected incomes at long time horizons.

I can see arguments going both ways. But these experiments actually let us test the effects: offer UBIs of varying durations. If effects are broadly similar at 3 years versus 1 year, that gives us confidence that (assuming away highly nonlinear effects) further experiments at 5 years and beyond will also be similar.
Well, they do it on aircraft carriers, so technically speaking, it's possible.
I guess I'm confused. If an aircraft can't go backwards or do a loop, does that mean it's not flying? Because as far as I know, every fixed wing aircraft is incapable of going in reverse, and most can't do a loop. Not trying to pick on your defenition of flight based on degrees of freedom, but that doesn't seem to match any definition of flight I've run across.
There are a lot of limitations and the addon class will never be as good as it used to be. Solutions are to either use an old FF, different version, or fork that supports them. I still have an okay time doing this, but it probably won't work forever.

Math is pardon the pun, fractal in nature. Geometry skills may be reasonably common, but topology and group theory for example are rarely taught in high school or their not even part of most collages general education requirements.

The user owns the device. They should be able load software without apples blessing.

The problem is simple. There is no way for a user to load their own signing keys for the boot ROM to load other OSes like linux, or even simpler disable signature checks.

There is no way to give iOS your own signing keys or disable signing checks to run applications. As such there is no way for me to run Firefox rendering engine. This is because the app store policies. Then there are other open source applications that don't want to bother with having a developer account with apple.

There also the fact proprietary software probably raises their prices. So the user eats the 30% instead unlike the case if that software were able to self distribute.
I am really tired of this line - the taunami killed 18,500 people. The reactor incident killed no-one through radiation and 32 people through physical injuries.

One failure of Banqiao Dam killed an estimated 240,000 people. That's more than all people who have ever died from anything to do with nuclear, reactors and bombs combined.

Air pollution kills about 2,000 people every single day.

Reactor incidents are like plane crashes - they get attention. Fissil fuels are like car crashes - they kill more people every day and noone gives a shit.

Maybe the best thing 'old Nokia' did in the smartphone era was «PyS60» (Python for Symbian/S60) — first fully functional port of Python to smartphones.[0]

That was my "entry door" into Python programming in the early 2000s with Nokia 3230, then N82 ;)

Tutorials written by PyS60 devs community really help me later enter into add-ons development for Blender, FreeCAD, Inkscape, QGIS and other FLOSS apps with Python support.

Actually Python is my "Swiss Army knife" for daily tasks.

Ask HN: Personal branding while working in tech
Hi All!
I'm interested in understanding what is the general perspective of indicators that helps you mentally attach an "expert" label to a person.

I work in the technology space, specifically NLP and search, and would like to put more conscious effort in building skills/reputation that would help me attract consultancy/teaching gigs in the near future (2-4 years).

Things that come to my mind:
1. Popular personal blog
2. Open source contributions
3. Working at a FAANG company (don't want to switch jobs just for this reason)
4. Masters degree from a reputed school (Stanford?. Not sure if it's worth it)

Any help/thoughts would be really appreciated!
I don't mean to dismiss human lives; what I mean is that we used to worry about how to lift people out of poverty, and now instead we ask for global changes so that they can keep living in the same poverty as before.

It's an example of focusing on some huge systemic issue and completely forgetting that there are issues that have a much more direct impact- such as lack of jobs, education, access to healthcare, etc.

I think this depends on the model as we just had to replace our dish washer and we got one without the heating element and it does a better job drying than our previous one with the heating element.

Also they still make both and the models with the heating element aren't hard to find.
Haha, a good point. I think we enable everyone to amplify their speech. When a single person can only talk 1x, tech to make it 100x makes you very powerful. But if everyone has tech to make it 100x, your tech needs to go to 10000x to have the same relative impact it did originally. i.e. tech growth doesn't scale well enough. The early gainers are very powerful.

Maybe when we all have GPT-3 with hecka more params, no one can propaganda-war us because we will be immune because of constant ongoing prop-war.

I don't really know, but I think I bias towards making everyone so powerful that it's hard to get more powerful.
Correlation is not causation. Could it be that a third variable (say stress) is causing both high divorce rates and mass poverty?

Also the article you link to and quote is about unmarried couples vs. married couples, the source for these number is confusing to say the least, and focuses on the US where single parents don’t get that much welfare, which neither adds nor removes anything from my point that: single parenting is not by it self a good predictor of poverty.
Making this all the more confusing, the deployment tool most used inside Amazon is an internal tool called "Apollo". (We mostly hate it.)

You can identify as a masc nonbinary or AMAB nonbinary. These are distinctions that are pretty common to use in the LGBTQ community which is why I suggest not just reading up and thinking but actually going to a community and participating within it. Your local group may even be able to introduce you to other AMAB NB people that you can compare and contrast experiences with.
In general Europe isn't big on land fills. Space isn't nearly as plentiful as in the US, which makes just burning any unrecycled waste a much more attractive alternative.
You can reduce poverty by teaching people employable skills.

You can reduce homelessness by making more housing available for purchase.

You can reduce abortions by educating people about sex life.

You can reduce health care expenses by teaching people to live a healthier life.

Except the last two, you're just treating the symptoms and not addressing the actual problems. There are legitimate problems with giving things away for free. A few would realize the full value but for the majority would still remain in the same situation they were before.
"Heat Pump Dryers" which you describe have come way down in price in the last few years. Under $1000 AUD / $715 USD now.

Note for the other commentators that there are also "Condenser" dryers that pump the water into a hose or water tub instead of into the air - that are still otherwise resistive and not "Heat Pump" dryers though "Heat Pump" dryers are always "Condenser" dryers.
> so loud I'd only run it when I left.

I lived in a studio apartment with this kind of dishwasher for five years.

I refused to run it since it was so obnoxious.

Now I just treat the dishwasher as a drying rack. Works great.
"If you roll 2 six-sided dice, what are the chances you roll at least one dice above 5 (5 or 6)?"

A nice trick to visually solve this in your head I heard once is:

If you think of rolling two dice as a square. X and Y are each dice. You get a 36 square board. Getting 1 six is just the upper boarder. 6 on the top, 6 on the right (6 and 6 overlap). So 11 out of the 36 squares.

Well, is it how things get fixed? The way we collectively attribute passive attention and consume information seems less and less up to us, the longer we're surrounded by the digital equivalent of slot machines. The media is more give and less take than ever; and the longer this stress goes on, the more emotionally charged the process of memetic exchange becomes.

Still, talking to people is as good as it ever was, if you're determined about it. While these days it does require significant care and patience to avoid the memes and the trigger phrases, it's still more than possible to gesture at the ideas behind the noise and get something fresh going - to get minds exchanging.
There are "Condenser" dryers that pump the water into a drain hose or water tub (that you need to empty) instead of into the air - that are still otherwise resistive.

Then there are "Heat Pump" dryers that operate with a compressor the same as a reverse-cycle air conditioner. "Heat Pump" dryers are always "Condenser" dryers.
> For example, we had a window air conditioning unit in our previous house that had an efficiency feature. Instead of recirculating the air, it would cool to the temperature you asked for, then set itself a few degrees higher.

Because of humidity that actually might be the right behaviour in some cases-- drop the temp lower then let it go back up a bit to lower the humidity level... but not in others. :)

Yes and no.

There were certain documents that shoud have been filed, but in general the interpretation or norm was that they didnt need to be.

The new govt which came into power eforced this rule and of course, everyone struggled to fill it - the media scoop was "non compliance".

IN addition, this was all done on the backs of a terrible IB (intelligence bureau) report which was leaked.

The report was used as an excuse to demonize NGOs and reduce any statue they had in the market of ideas.

I have read the report, and it is so laughably bad, that I wouldn't doubt if someone told me that all of India's security apparatuses had been compromised and were run by foreign powers.

Sections of that document included parts which warned that NGOs had been able to plot, on a map, the location of extant, proposed and in construction nuclear power plants. "The use of handwritten notes was to foil the ability of text scanners."

Additionally, there are multiple sections that correlate receipt of foreign funds as signs of collusion with foreign powers. Even if it is Greenpeace getting funding from international members.

The amount of actual scrutiny in 2014 on this document was nil.

You can read the report here: https://kractivist.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NGO-Report...

If anyone reads it, you will immediately see what is up, since the sight of a google map with pins being lauded as a villainous mastermind about to damage India was laughable.

I'd need to see some estimates for handwashing, but it looks like a modern dishwasher uses 4-6gal (15-23l) of water[1]. That's about 1/10th of a bath (sure, if you're conserving water and energy you take showers instead, so it's about 1/3 of a shower).

One of the upsides for me during this time of social unrest is that I have been able to put my Sociology degree to major use during discussions.

One of the reasons touting that statistic might get an auto-remove is because it is in itself deceptive, or at least can be in the inferences many people make from it.

Seeing that statistic might make people think that black people are inherently violent, that there is something about black people that make them commit more homicides. the actual reason that many people do not lift from seeing that statistic on its own, is that homicides and violence are directly linked to poverty.

Then, someone who may be uneducated on the matter might believe that black people are simply both poor and violent, which would completely discount generations of systemic oppression targeted toward minorities and black people specifically which have directly led to their higher poverty rates.

>It's a motte-and-bailey argument going from "a small percentage of people don't neatly fall into either the male or female category" to "the concept of biological sex is meaningless and the only relevant factor is a person's self-identification".

Except that's not what the links you posted say. In fact, the very first sentence of the second link says:
"First, sex defined: We're talking physical sex here, not gender."[0]

What's more, the same poster says further down:
"It is worth noting that I never talk about transgender in this thread. Intersex is not the same as transgender. You can be one without the other, or be both."

So that thread doesn't say anything close to what you think it says. Unless I misunderstood either the twitter thread or you. Which is always possible.

Would you mind expanding on your point? It might lead to an interesting discussion.
