Payday loans aren't giving you enough to buy a car or fund a good vacation over ten years repayment either, and they require some proof of non-assistance income already.

To reprise a previous comment, I think vi mode suffers because it's a relatively niche feature - none of the current committers use it as far as I know, and pull requests to improve it are relatively infrequent. 1.8% of the pull requests into the (not yet released) 3.2.0 are for Vi mode, which is a slight increase on previous milestones, and includes support for dh, dl, c0, cf, ct, cF, cT, ch, cl, y0, tilde, ci', ci", yi', yi", di' and di".

I don't think it helps that it's this huge target area which (the small number of?) users use a slightly different 10% of, and it can be quite complex to integrate new features into existing editor state.
The 80,000 hours folks generally apply this kind of reasoning to explain why it’s better for most people to just focus on a corporate job, stockpile a ton of cash, and donate it all when you die, instead of quitting to join a cause / non-profit - if your only goal is to optimize your impact.

Obviously people are free to choose differently and there are exceptions, unique circumstances etc.
The Trump Administration has just proposed new rules that would limit the students of numerous countries to only 2yr VISAs.

Here's a good thread on the matter: https://twitter.com/doug_rand/status/1309125937066315782

One of the reasons countries get on the list is by having an overstay rate of greater than 10%, but this makes no sense. A single student from Nauru overstaying could make that nation's overstay rate 20%, while 80,000 overstaying students from Canada could be under 10%.
And this is where credit is useful - if you can't afford the $120 lump sum, but you _could_ afford the $165 spread out, then it should be possible for somebody to profit off this arbitrage.

They lend you $120, and ask for slightly less than $165 back - let's say $145. So you save up the money you normally would have spent on tickets daily and at the end of the month, you pay back the $145, and you have saved yourself $20, while the lender made a return on investment of about 20% (a very respectable amount, given it's unsecured).
Not to take this way off topic, but what should post-docs get paid?

They aren't regarded as fully independent researchers yet (that's why they're doing a post-doc), so you'd expect a lower salary.

And some Phd's only make $70-80k per year in full time roles outside of academia, so $50k wouldn't seem out of place for someone still "in training".
When multiple major tech companies go down in short order, it's generally reasonable to assume a state actor is responsible.

There are only 3 countries with the resources to mount attacks of this magnitude...
How do you figure? Seems very optimistic to assume that these companies are incapable of this type of failure themselves.
Resizing and moving the Zoom window of videos is one of the most frustrating parts of online meetings.
Or, that when one goes down, people overuse the services of the others, causing them to go down, causing a chain reaction. Not denying the existence of state actors but they are not a given.
I NEVER said it's ok. I said, it is that way. You are changing what I say to tear it down.

Do you think the US should destroy all nukes without consideration if other countries have them?

No? Then you were intellectually dishonest. Being intellectually dishonest removes any high horse you might have.

Either what other people do influences what you do, or it doesn't. Acting like that doesn't happen is disingenuous and dishonest.

the argument of "everyone will Google" might as well suggest there's no reason for .com even. You could just assume the address is completely irrelevant. As long as Google knows that "Flameswipe" should go to flame-swi.pe it's fine.

As others emphasized, besides people not always using Google, it's a tragic short-term idea to defer your traffic to a search engine and all their power. You really should want people to go directly to you and not to any middle-man.

SDLCs in huge corporates tend to produce slightly crazy outcomes.

There are 3 reasons I know of to implement jailbreak detection. Two "real" ones and one process related.

The first is that you have implemented security controls "on the client" somewhere. In which case you need to take some control away from the user to avoid circumvention.

The second is that you cannot really tell the difference between compromise and jailbreak; that is, you are less confident that actions on the device reflect the true intent of the owner. This is why, for example, banking apps can be touchy about jailbreaks.

The third is what I believe is happening here: You got burned at some point for the other 2 reasons, it's now part of your corporate IOT security standard to add it to every app.

Sadly the cognitive cost of deciding the "perfect" set of security controls for your toothbrush app is higher (and riskier project-wise) than just following the corporate standard. So team implements feature.
>which the public responds to with indifference and numbness and another drive through at McDonalds.

Look through the responses in this thread. At least 2-3 other people described that their approach to the impending collapse is...to ignore it...and to also make sure they enjoy the nice September weather and to ruminate on their impending richness from cashing in on stock options. I sincerely hope these comments were /s or a joke. If not...well, then maybe this is why we are in this situation now - a good portion of the public is severely lobotomized to care about anything else but frozen pizza.
My observation extends beyond the preliminary injunction itself which was always going to be a long shot. Epic's entire case depends on being able to successfully plead a single-brand market consisting of only iOS devices. Yes, you are correct that whether Epic wins or loses the injunction now won't necessarily affect the outcome of the trial. However, failing to establish a single-brand market will.

So to the extent that the judge is unconvinced of the validity of a single-brand market now, is not good news for Epic's chances during the trial later.

Wouldn't converting seawater into jet fuel effectively just have us contribute to global warming even more aggressively by converting CO2 sequestered in the ocean to atmospheric CO2 (+ huge energy consumption for the intermediary step of jet fuel)? I'm sure I must be missing something there.

> Android OEMs don’t have the same incentives.

Of course they don't. They don't make the operating system, and also the average selling price is lower.

Not sure what this has to do with the App Store though.
And you quote a lot of cases based on your opinions. But, the judge in this particular case didn’t agree with Epics argument.

Sorry, couldn't answer before, HN was doing its weird "you post too often" dance.

I guess I misunderstood the intent behind the project. I thought it's like a full alternative to GTK / Qt but in Rust which would be really nice to have, but I get that it would be a much bigger project than something built on top of them.
Ask HN: How to find “senior” jack of all trades jobs?
I have been in my current role for about 6 years. While I wasn't hired for it specifically, my average week has my time split between product management, managing a small team to develop those products, ux design, and front-end JS/Python development. It's really a roll where I am all over the place and I do really enjoy it. However, due to the Covid reality in the world right now I am starting to think my time here is up. How can I find another job that isn't specialized to one specific roll as I really do enjoy being a jack of all trades master of none and would like to continue to do that in my next role. I'm also fairly experienced with 16 years of "jack of all trade" type positions.
Woah! That sounds really dangerous! I've had to get properly ventilated dryer vents cleaned out a few times. I've been told they can cause fires if they get too clogged.
Sure, that would be a possibility for a different set of tech companies going down, such as if they all shared the same network backbone or overlapping users.

But they don't. We're talking about the largest companies in the world, with facilities geo-located around the world, all going down within a few days of each other.
Canada, Australia, South Korea? UK, Russia, German? France, Poland, Singapore? I can think of a lot of countries who have great technology resources.

grad salaries should be 50-60k at this point and post doc should be 90-100k. right now theyre too low and exploitive. it is just a bad, abusive system right now. companies are now getting in on the post-doc scheme to in order to hire cheap phds with no guarantee of hiring after it is done.

i told my previous employer, of they continue the post doc program (i was the guinea pig) ill quit. the title and salary were terrible. everyone outside my group was horrified and telling me to leave and get a better job it was that bad.
Thanks for the source, I looked at some of the studies and it seems like you were correct but there appears to be a small catch. There seems to be a difference between physical blockers such as TiO2 and ZnO, which basically reflect the UV rays and UV-absorbers like mentioned in your link which convert the rays to heat. Sunscreen usually contains both components.
Interesting stuff though, I thought sunscreen was mostly a solved problem but you and your reference as well as some other references made me rethink that idea.

The point of the parent is to demonstrate how silly zero-sum arguments against immigration are, not to compare. A similar anecdote is to point at the open border policy inside the EU. Allowing free migration of people within the EU states (i.e. open borders) has had tremendous economic benefits for every member state, except perhaps the countries that are loosing workers.

Consider also that free migration is allowed within the US borders. Everyone in South Carolina is currently leagally allowed to migrate to California. Is California loosing money to South Carolina because of this?

You should read the terms and conditions for your updates more thoroughly. They are mor liable for you losing your phone. The Find My app is an added bonus to help you find it but not a legal obligation for doing so.
> A poor-quality headset mic and sub-standard audio software might.

In a conference with 10 people, 7 will be on Windows PC's with on-board RealTek, where the only mic control in the control panel is a basic gain and a mute checkbox, or else with some cheap USB headsets, 2 will be on the road with their phones, and 1 will be on a Mac.

You will never get a conference with everyone having True Scotsman hardware and drivers, and so the general rule has to be for everyone to mute.
Every couple of weeks one of my internet connections (here in India) slows down dramatically. I used to call and complain, and my ISP would say they would "reset my account" which always brought things back to normal. For months I tried to persuade them to find and fix the underlying problem. Now I just call and ask if they can reset my account, please.
Or a major network interchange pushed a shitty routing change.
> And you can actually buy washing machines that last a long time today, but most people simply aren't willing to spend thousands on one.

i don't believe that. A company selling washing machines have incentive to make one that breaks _just_ after the warranty expires, so as to enable more sales. It can't be both true that the consumer saves money, and the company maximizing profit. One of the have to suffer - and it's usually the consumer.
I just installed a dual flush toilet and the first thing it does is start tricking water down the bowl. The instructions called to cut two rods inside the cistern if this happens. I'm too scared to do this with a new toilet, and i don't get charged for water where i live, so i left it trickling.

It replaced a 100 year old pull chain toilet with that with a copper cistern. it sadly was at the end of its life. there's no way the fiddly plastic parts in the new toilet will last 100 years, let alone 20.
I have used obs.ninja [1] to pipe phone camera feeds as video inputs to OBS.

I then use the virtual cam plugin to make that my webcam feed. This works great, but what I'd also love to do is take the audio from the phone mic as a browser input and use it as a virtual microphone. I've only been successful by using a VBCable pipe and setting the monitoring device, but what that ends up doing is also playing all of the sound OBS is capturing from my phone into my headphones too, so I get my own voice. If I mute OBS, the monitoring doesn't work, and so I get no audio.

If I capture the audio completely outside OBS with another mic, everything's out-of-sync and I don't have portable audio.

This is so close to a seamless way to turn any phone into a portable webcam with mic, but I haven't figured out that last little piece of the puzzle. However, I wanted to 1) shout out OBS for being such an incredible piece of software, and 2) shout out obs.ninja for what it does. Seriously impressive.

"worse is better" isn't really an argument is it. For earch "worse is better" decision there should be an actual argument for an upside to it, eg: Window registry is more discoverable than a gazillion of directories (arguably). REST and JSON (and WS and XML) were pushed by the web mob who wants all protocols in their stack to be text-based and hackable by inspecting the traffic or whatever. In the dotcom era, their need dictated that of the industry. I think in the next era of cloud and IoT and massive communication traffic we will see more push for more efficient binary protocols (protobuff, avro) which naturally also leads to abstracting them away completely (grpc, thrift), for ergonomics.
Sure, the hearing yesterday was about the preliminary injunction. But Epic's arguments have been made in detail in their extensive filings with the court.

Good find! It's pretty clear that the value provided exceeds the value provided.
I think you've just been unlucky. I was born and raised in the UK and have never seen such 'pump' systems, except where the toilet is in a basement and a pump is required to move the water up to the sewage line.

The in-wall cisterns may look like a maintenance nightmare, but on Grohe products (I assume other manufacturers are the same but don't have experience) you can open the flush plate and easily take out every single part through the 20x30cm hole. It's actually easier to repair than a traditional toilet as you don't require any tools, other than a flat screwdriver to turn off the water valve.

I could rant all day about poor habits of the construction industry in the UK, but toilets aren't even in my top 10.

>> In general, most food-borne illnesses

There is a risk of contamination in a lab as well and to be honest I don't understand why this kind of food is not subject to clinical trials. Some people(at least in the EU) try to avoid food resulted from livestock injected with hormones or other syntetic chemicals. Now you tell them to eat food grown(with hormones) in a lab.

I can't give you a good source on the subject so below is the first google result.

"most of the studies on safety are done or supported by the companies themselves.”

"It’s also long been known that breast cancer risk increases with higher lifetime exposure to estrogen. These facts have led many to question whether the continued use of synthetic estrogens in livestock is safe."

"The effects are very hard to study, experts say, because hormones are naturally present in both food and our bodies. Plus, the effects could be subtle and take years to show up."

I only recently learned that term extended more broadly to pattern recognition, in addition to “seeing faces in stuff.”
Ah interesting. I don't think I'd agree with that because if all competition is nuked and prices are nice today, it's still a lot harder to rebuild a healthy ecosystem if/when it gets abused down the line. Whether intentionally or through stagnation.

I'm not saying we should look at just one or the other, but both should be weighed and considered.

In Australia we actually have a bit of a problem with a supermarket duopoly, who have apparently coincidentally both decided to sell house brand milk very cheaply (IIRC $1/L). This has upset a lot of farmers and producers as it decides a large amount of their revenue. I'm not sure what our legal landscape dictates, but it certainly seems unfair and anti-competitive even though it is really good for me personally.
I'm a noob at ReactJS and made this!
Hi everyone!

A couple days ago I made a post saying that I was dropping my side project. I wanted to open more paths for the future. One of the goals I wanted to accomplish was to learn ReactJS.

Over the past 24 hours, I've spent some time learning the fundamentals of React and made my first project using it.

It is a simple CRM (Customer Relationship Manager). In this, I displayed my knowledge of components, props, state management, and styling.

View it here: https://react-crmtool.netlify.app/

Any feedback or ideas for what I should try next would be awesome.

Thanks again!
The entire reason there is a walled garden at all is the pre-iPhone landscape.

Pre-iPhone, the phone software landscape that most consumers interacted with was absolutely awful. Carriers loaded phones with all sorts of pre-installed, uninstallable junk. Most third-party software was also not very good. iPhone uptake was so large in 2007 because Apple put its foot down on all the carrier cruft.
