That it's being framed as politics is way off the mark. What's being discussed at the workplace isn't foreign policy; it's authoritarianism vs democracy. That's an existential threat. People are getting executed in the street by those supposed to serve and protect, and business leaders want employees to "just be apolitical"? Asking employees to ignore an existential threat is like asking humans to not experience emotion, to the tune of "Just ignore the chaos around you and do your job, peasant." It's wrong to enforce people to ignore the injustices that affect them.

> macOS will deprecate older Macs 6-7 years after their release.

This is substantially inaccurate. Current versions of macOS run on nearly all Apple systems from 2012 (8 years old), with the exception of some 2012 Mac Pros. The limiting factor in most cases is GPUs -- macOS 10.14 and later require some GPU capabilities which weren't reliably available in 2012.
Cicero, like many other philosophers of antiquity, places ultimate value on the goal of 'a life well-lived'. In this essay, he basically says 'old age is fine, if you lived a good life beforehand', and hedges by saying death's no big deal.

Which is, of course, rubbish. That's not really how life works: rewards rarely follow your efforts to live a good life. There are often no rewards at all; a life of diligent savings can disappear in an instant, physical fitness can end with cancer, faithfulness can end in bitter disappointment. Attempting to 'optimize' your life, your finances, your career often put you in places you never wanted to be.

The Buddhists come closer to what life is really about: life is not a journey, it's a dance. And you can dance anytime; old age can be joyous anytime you choose to dance--you don't need a 'good life' preceding it to make it good. Or, TL;DR: All you ever have in life is this one moment, right now.

This answer is gold. I came to respond but this answer hits the proverbial nail on the head.

You do not teach a kid to think, you provide and environment that allows them to. They will learn to do this on their own.
Almost all the big companies I worked for had a "database gang" -- a database group which, in the name of centralization, forced you to bow to them to get anything. New DB? bow to them. More nodes? bow to them. Reboot? bow to them. The internal budget "prices" would be off the charts unbelievable.

It makes sense to centralize, but only at a certain cost. Beyond that cost, it is better to just de-centralize because not every project can spend 4-5 months of meetings to spin up a DB.

The cloud changed this because it became an OpEx discussion and something you could spin up on your own. For non-production workloads, it comes especially obvious to do this.
It's a very minority view on HN, but important to keep in mind that there are quite a few people who consider what Snowden did "a case of misguided political activism".

2001, actually.
It seems to have multiple streaming services (I see The Boys from Prime, stuff from Disney, stuff from Netflix, etc) is that correct? Or do you need to go into Crave/Prime/Netflix to see the respective shows?
Closely related, but in the opposite direction: the Waltons (of Wal-Mart), Koch brothers (industrial conglomerate including such banal brands as Molex), and Green family (of Hobby Lobby) all got involved because they thought that they needed to take a critical stand on issues where they thought a leadership vacuum existed. They felt that the government wasn't doing enough to support their notion of an ideal way of life.

The country is tearing itself apart right now because we really do have two camps with opposite beliefs that each feel they are fighting for the survival of the nation itself. Read what the other side says about themselves, and not just what your side says about them.
Sure, but they should be upfront with that when booking. Fwiw the plane seemed fairly full when picking seats, especially when taking into account the blocked out the middle seats.
Oh boy, let me tell you about my LG Google TV (55GA7900). It was awesome when it was brand new, I really enjoyed being able to install various apps (this is pre-roku days where it wasn't common place). After a couple years, they moved on to Android TV - but everything still worked and they still pushed out some occasional updates. Well, a few more years went by and it became EOL. LG pushed out one final update which fixed a few things and disabled the update feature altogether (Android 4.2.2). Well guess what? The update was junk and made it where you could not scan for over-the-air channels. The scanner would just crash and no channels would be found. There was no way to go directly to a channel or manual add channels - scan only. So here I was with a smart tv that couldn't even watch TV over the air. I'm sure LG was also to blame, not just Google, but I sure wouldn't buy or recommend a google TV. Looks like they are now switching back to Google TV and the poor folks who were duped into getting an Android TV will be the next to experience abandonment.

So you'd rather have bugs because you'd rather not worry about bad assumptions and bad practices which come from monocultures. It's a good thing many of the people in large projects don't agree with you.
> Most native apps don't do either of those two things either... at least on iOS. I can't speak to how Android apps behave these days.

I use Android.

- The Facebook app lets you swipe left-right between sections of the app

- Gmail, Slack, Drive all let you pull menus out of the left.

These are just some obvious examples but MANY apps support navigation in this way.
IMO, Apple TV has been one of the strengths of the iOS ecosystem over Android. Chromecast has a lot of good integrations, but the dongle’s lack of a standalone UI with independent controls made it awkward for communal living room use. Looks like this could be a strong competitor and the price greatly undercuts Apple. I’m excited to try it out.
Exactly.

I’ll pay to host my own content - but if it’s just static content - that’s essentially zero.

Also, I’ll make tools to make it easy for anyone to create their own self-hosted website.

No ads needed.

And if I make a product or service of value, I’ll sell it - without ads.

Word of mouth recommendations are great. Somebody can make a review or a blog post about it because they like it.

Others can find it when they search for it - because they need it.

Think about it - how many things/services do you buy because you saw an ad versus because you had a need and sought out the best product that could fulfill it.

In fact, I think it would be awesome if a new search engine could step up - ad free web search (excludes any website that uses ads).
That's not the quote.
When did this happen? It's hard to imagine this happening anytime in, say, the past 15 years...
Interesting, thanks for that.
> Fine, by "citizens" read "citizens and permanent residents". If you know of a better term that encapsulates who would be eligible to receive UBI, please provide it.

Different UBI advocates prefer different target populations. I have heard all combinations of:

Age: All adults; All adults and emancipated minors, All (regardless of age); All, but with a reduced benefit for (all or only dependent) children.

Citizenship/immigration status: All domestically resident citizens and nationals; All citizens and nationals; all citizens, nationals, and LPRs; All citizens, nationals, LPRs, and other resident aliens, where the last may be defined either as the IRS does for tax purposes or somewhat more expansively.
You might be interested in SDCC, a C compiler that supports Z80, among other small architectures. I'm happy to see it's still actively developed.

to the people who carried out the holocaust, they though it was for the good. or at least some. the definition of good acts is depending on the person. someone can try to do good in their own eyes, and be doing evil in other's eyes. see crusades, isis, nazi germany, etc.
I'm not saying any of those things are good, but one man's good intentions is another man's evil deeds.
Generally I don't believe that hypothetical is likely. It's one thing to see a revenue shortfall due to covid, it's another thing to suggest that wealthy people will just leave.

If you can find a case where the wealthy folks have left to avoid taxes and it made a material difference, I'm happy to engage.

Historically, the only thing I can think of is White Flight, but in that case one of the driving forces was the spending of tax money on building housing and infrastructure for the wealthy outside of cities. (And there were many other explicitly segregationist policies in place at the time to prevent the less wealthy from going along with them.)
My hat's off to you for learning Cantonese, it's not easy both on the surface (more tones than Mandarin, traditional vs simplified characters), but also for the paucity of Canto-specific resources, as you point out.

Finally, it really is a dying language and I myself struggled with squaring the effort I was putting in with the perceived benefit I would get from it -- it was largely an attempt at filial piety, so that I could speak with my wife's grandparents and also demonstrate respect, but then they passed away. Nowadays I hear that Cantonese isn't even taught in schools in Hong Kong. The writing is on the wall for the language.

I was amazed that the local community college in my hometown had Cantonese for a long time (before finally giving up and shuttering it about 7 years ago).

http://www.cantonese.sheik.co.uk/ is a great resource for anybody learning Cantonese.
My buddy works at a FAANG that has a strong corporate position on BLM, LGBTQ rights, and climate change. In fact, all of the FAANGs do. Anyone kicked out of Coinbase that will pass the interviews will be welcomed with open arms, regardless of political positions.

> The country had TEN TIMES the per capita death rate of its neighbors and still has the highest unemployment of all the Nordic countries.

So far.

Lockdown strategies will always look better than Sweden's strategy at the beginning, because Sweden's strategy gets most of the deaths over with in the first few months.

If a vaccine takes long enough, the countries that locked down might eventually catch up to Sweden's per-capita death rate, although it's worth noting that some of them have already surpassed it.

If you look at the charts here, you will see that Sweden had a big spike in deaths at the beginning of the outbreak and now it's daily death rate is far below that of most other countries: https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/sweden?countr...

Sweden's approach looks better relative to other countries with every passing day. The longer it takes for a vaccine to be developed and distributed, the better Sweden's strategy will look. People who insist that Sweden made a horrible mistake are overconfident. Whether or not it was a mistake really depends on how long the pandemic lasts.
Huh, it seems like they have gone with Snapdragon 765 instead of 865. Is the price difference between the processors that high?

Also, I think Google should commit to four year updates now.
Mix in a healthy dose of Buddhist 'life is in this very moment' and I think it's very possible to enjoy growing old, certain frailties notwithstanding.
You are correct. I also seem to recall recently reading news that someone had started fabbing 68020s again, but can't find the source at the moment.
You could reasonably extend this to your friends and neighbors as well.

Growing up, politics was private outside of the family dinner table. Any dedication to an injustice or a good cause was done through donating or volunteering. No yard signs, no shouting, no blaming.

I understand that dramatic actions bring attention, but I just hope that we can start focusing more on doing our own part and leading by example rather than preaching and focusing on how much others are doing. This goes for everyone on the modern political spectrum.
I did not notice until you pointed that out. I'd be willing to pay extra for a remote without the YouTube and Netflix buttons.

How to get bad reviews deleted 98% of the time
It doesn't sound that bad even from the internal email.. It's for a short time and clearly explained.

I don't think it's particularly effective though... Sometimes a difficult issue is best solved by relaxing and coming back fresh. Especially when it comes to coding.

And as a customer: Yet another delay would kind of annoy me at this point. I understood the previous ones but now it's getting a bit rich. I can imagine they don't want to go there.
It's getting better all the time though, and it's way better than nothing when you don't have a choice.

Google TV is software which runs on Android TV devices made by Google. It's not a replacement of Android TV. It's akin to Windows Media Center running on Windows XP.

So Google TV is a device which runs Android TV, which obviously supports Chromecast, because any Android TV device supports that, and lets you run apps such as YouTube and consume a US-only service called YouTube TV, just like any other Android TV device.

What’s unique about this? It sounds entirely underwhelming.

And I especially say that as someone who enthusiastically bought a Nexus Player, only to get rid off it a few weeks later.
> In practice, almost no open source libraries would also release a 1.0.2.

Well, if package consumers such as yourself don't put in the legwork to make that happen then yeah, don't expect others to do the work you personally need for free.

I'm sure that if you posted a pull request for that hypothetical 1.0.2 release then the project would gladly receive it with open arms.

People should keep in mind that open source software isn't a one-way street.

> A thought occurs to me: would it be possible to use that compiler to bootstrap your way to a modern C dialect?

You don't need to. SmallC is a cross-compiler, not a self-hosting compiler; it runs on a modern computer, not an 8085. If you wanted to modify SmallC to accept modern C syntax, you can do that without "bootstrapping" anything.
Pixel 5 came after the Nexus 6p. The iPhone SE 2 also came out after the iPhone 8. :shrug:
So, if I'm understanding correctly the Linux system gets access to the raw Ethernet system, and so bypasses the Windows firewall. Seems not entirely unreasonable - if you want Linux to use a firewall then install one into it.

But it should definitely be well publicised/documented, because otherwise people won't realise they have a gaping hole in their greens m defences.
I had that TV years ago. I went through three of them before giving up and buying a Sony. Mine crashed every couple hours. LG sent a repair person to replace the main board. This fixed the crashing, but broke the tuner.

Given this happened twice, I sensed there was an issue with the complete model line and bailed. I actually boycotted LG products for a few years as a result of this experience.
Not sure about this but I’ll mention The FireTV stick will show you shows from multiple services without entering those apps. And any given show/movie has a “more ways to watch” Option to show where else it’s available (such as when a specific app has it for free). I can also watch HBO shows directly in the firetv’s native viewer without entering the HBO “app”

I see this as strategically genius whether you agree with it or not. He's totally neutered the ability of employees to take strong political stances within the company going forward and he's made it clear where the company stands in away that makes it very hard for people to come back later and defend staying if they were interested in these kinds of politics.

If you want to stay focused on building a company and not on debating the subjective merits of sociopolitical systems, this is a winning move.
I grew up in a very poor household where the emphasis was on getting good grades so you could go on to get a wel paying “job”.

Please don’t do that to your kids. If you have the means (not everyone does), check in with them on homework, for example. See what they’re learning about — and ask them questions about it. Show curiosity and interest. In my opinion, that is a good way to jump start your child’s curiosity. Help them understand the significance of what they’re learning - if you’re able to.

Ask them to question things. I grew up in a household where I took textbooks and papers as all being fundamentally correct and true, and that’s not always the case. Skepticism is a good thing. Encourage your children not to take things at face value but dive a bit deeper to understand if something really makes sense or if it’s even true.
What is the source of the data?

I'm going off topic a bit here, but it's something I've thought of before...

We're at the point where single-core performance gains on each generation are weak, and instead are now heading for massive parallelization. Is the the speed of light (more specifically, the speed of current) actually the limiting factor here?

At 5 Ghz, in the time it takes for the clock to tick once, light travels 6 cm (2.36 inches). I know electrical current moves even slower than that (and varies depending on the material), so is it possible that it could impact theoretical maximum performance per core, at least limiting clock speeds, due to signals going across the CPU and across components being out of sync?
Ask HN: Are there job boards for junior engineers on student visas?
I caught a JIT bug in .NET back when I worked at Microsoft. Unfortunately I don't remember the specifics, but it was doing something wrong when trying to optimize a bit of code using AVX instructions.

I was immediately sure it was a compiler bug when I realized I could make the code work correctly if I changed the order of variable declarations. It would happen on something like:

int a;
int b;
float c;

(again, that's only illustrative - too long ago for me to remember the specifics)

But not with:

int a;
float c;
int b;

Alright, that settles it. This weekend I'm removing all third party js stuff I have in my website—either dropping the functionality entirely or replacing it with OSS alternatives I'll manage myself, or that I can trust enough to pay for—starting with disqus.
