No, it's not wiser. The charities to which I give have a clear and immediate need of funds to protect children from malaria and worms. It does not help those children if I wait 40 years before giving anything.

> Giving away your future nest egg is quite a rash decision for a young person.

There's risks involved, of course. But the risks are minuscule compared to the risk unfairly borne by others because they do not have the privilege of sophisticated healthcare systems, food, and clean drinking water.

I'm in my twenties and make more money than 99% of my fellow citizens. If I can not find a way to help children literally at severe risk of death before 5 years of age, who can?
Thinking about it, the idea that familiarity with mirrors would affect the results really throws into question that what the test measures is "self-awareness". It would imply that self-awareness can be increased by exposure to mirrors...
There's only so many hours in the day for the moderators to read posts. Also, allowing political posts would attract those with a political axe to grind instead of hackers, making the problem worse. Please don't ask others to do what you wouldn't be willing to do yourself.
Addressed in the article: "If there is a bill introduced around crypto, we may engage here, but we normally wouldn’t engage in policy decisions around healthcare or education for example. ... We don’t engage here when issues are unrelated to our core mission, because we believe impact only comes with focus. We don’t advocate for any particular causes or candidates internally that are unrelated to our mission, because it is a distraction from our mission. Even if we all agree something is a problem, we may not all agree on the solution."

Just because something is political doesn't require you to take a stand on every other political issue.
Pre-2016, businesses took the same positions - serving international markets and employing foreign workers. They were just not considered political at the time.

People always talked about their heterosexual families and brought their cis sexual identities to work. Then others asked for the same allowances.

People always acknowledged white culture at work. Then others asked for the same allowances.

I don’t think business culture changed so much as politics started to question business culture.
I think the judge said the opinion is temporarily under seal for some reason.
> In the absence of a publicly available official list of blocked hostnames

This is the icing on the cake right here. It's just awful that not only do websites get censored largely arbitrarily, there is no insight into the process and what is even blocked–the fact that someone had to literally check sites to see if they are being blocked (via a variety of different methods largely indistinguishable from a malicious actor :/) is just a truly horrible state to be in.
Thailand has modern day slavery. It is considered one of the worst locations in the world.

To publicly publish an accusation like that against someone is clearly defamation if it's not correct.

I think some jail time would be suitable if it's found not to be true.

It sounds not true.

Should a person be jailed before they are convicted and awaiting trail and have to pay bond? We do for other crimes like personal drug use. This was an attack on another person.
I assume that you're referring to USS Thresher and Scorpion. These weren't nuclear accidents.
When I bought my house (borrowing roughly 200K) the bank wanted several years of tax returns and basically put my finances under a microscope. Pretty much everything except the anal probe.

So, you think a bank that's going to lend Trump 100 Million isn't going to examine his finances in greater detail?

In the UK, "series" is used rather than "season", and it has more to do with a financial commitment to make a number of episodes than it does with, say, a year's run of programming. A series may extend over the course of more than one year, and there can be two series in a year.
I meant that he pays well below what you or I pay. He's in a lower tax bracket than his secretary. $1.8M on $11.5M is what? Something in the ballpark of 15%? He should be in the highest tax bracket. That's my point. The tax laws favor the wealthy, and they shouldn't.
This didn't make the news because it contradicts what people know about thai law. A single complaint from a business to police over a review that gets someone taken from their job and put in jail is not reasonable and most would consider it a gross abuse of power, legal or not.
I cannot stress this enough - we have people allergic to direct development paid for by the state because "it's socialist".

Instead we invent all kinds of stupid ways of financing power plants, such a guaranteed electricity price for 50 years ahead, guaranteed profits to attract 'free market investors' for a project thats specified, sited and planned by the government and where all risk is born by the government. Ao then, instead of 0.25% interest we get fianance at 3-5% interest.
It's so weird. Why isn't it enough to just say "I've tried both, and light backgrounds are easier on my eyes." Pulling out weak science just makes it seem like they're insecure in their opinion (if you can even call it an opinion when talking about which option is causing an individual discomfort)
As a historical document, you should be aware that the SR1 complaint is extremely incomplete and misleading; one could write a book* about what is left out or wrong in it, starting with the Carl Mark Force and Bridges corruption scandal, lighting on the shall we say questionable veracity of Agent Tarbell's account of finding the Iceland server's IP (and who shortly afterwards left for the greener climes of the private cybersecurity sector), before moving on to the revelations at trial like about the hitmen scams - not to neglect pondering the claims recently by Variety Jones about, among other things, participants in the corruption scandal still being on the loose. Quite a rabbit hole.

* One could also write a book naively taking all police claims at face value without applying any critical thinking, and it seems one Wired journalist did so...

A rare violation of Betteridge's law of headlines: Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.
hah, I made a related mistake once: I had intended to move something from `file` to `~file`, and moved it to `-file` instead.

This breaks a remarkable number of things! I just deleted it from Finder, then remembered I could `rm '-file'`.
I would have thought the HN angle is where do you draw the line between journalism and data leaks or identity theft? As much as large parts of the public wants to see his taxes, that doesn’t meant a newspaper can hide behind journalism to act as an intermediary to leak them.

If that’s the standard then I’m sure it’d be fine for an intern at Joe Biden’s doctors office to leak his full medical records right?

EDIT: I find it hilarious that this comment was immediately flagged and hidden from default view.
That's true, I have, to other people.
Maybe not in this specific instance, but the times I have tracked down original sources they often disagree with the way the journalists have framed things. They know most people won't bother to do any original research or even read past the headline in a lot of cases. It's easier to tell people what to think than give them the facts and let them reach their own conclusion.
Not unless there is proof that any number has one and only one set of three cubes. I don't think that is true.
Well, yes. It wouldn't have been a good decision for me 20 years ago. But it was a good decision this year. Context is important. Money is important, obviously. But once you have a certain level of stability in your life, other priorities begin to overtake it.
I adopted two special needs children from bulgaria, very fulfilling decision if you are up to it and have the financial and mental means. So perhaps adoption is something you can consider!
Sometimes I wonder if this ingrained fear is the biggest long term cost of Hiroshima.

Masters of their universe: how the classic game Elite was made (2003)
I've heard WSL2 is different and better than WSL1. However, you say WSL2 is backed by Hyper-V. Which leads me to a very important question: does enabling WSL2 (which now supposedly uses Hyper-V) have the same problem that previously enabling Hyper-V had; namely that all other virtualisation software is incompatible?

At my day job, my company hasn't yet released the version of Windows that provides WSL2 (IIRC Microsoft released that in June, and my company takes ~12 months to validate and push out new versions of Windows). Many developers have tried to get away with using Docker for Desktop on Windows, which requires the direct use of Hyper-V unless your version of Windows supports WSL2, in which case Docker for Desktop will use that instead of Hyper-V.

Our problem is we have some legacy non-Dockerized apps that require the use of vagrant and VirtualBox (we've failed trying to use vagrant and Hyper-V due to lack of boxes), and VirtualBox is 100% incompatible with Hyper-V. VirtualBox has long "supposedly" been able to function alongside/with Hyper-V, but we have not had a single employee encounter success, out of at least a dozen who have tried. To the point where just disabling Hyper-V from Windows' Optional Features isn't enough to get VirtualBox to work again; it took some searching to discover that you additionally have to prevent the virtualisation stack from even being loaded at boot by running "bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off" as Administrator.

All we want is Docker to run natively on desktop; and yet, we also need to run VirtualBox VM's side-by-side. Because of work-from-home, some employees are "getting away" with running work-related stacks on their personal macOS or Linux machines, which of course have no such limitations. You can run Docker for Desktop and VirtualBox side-by-side on macOS with zero compatibility problems (and you can use NFS for mounts too instead of the buggy and slow-ass vboxfs or cifs/samba). Proving that Windows is, once again, the outsider and shit operating system that can't even do virtualisation properly (seriously, the "exclusive use of virtualisation" that Hyper-V requires is a fucking joke). We have to run vagrant on each developer's machine for the sole purpose of running a Docker daemon within it, or use shared hosting for a hundred developers on a single VM with only a dozen CPU cores, backed by slow network storage instead of SSDs, because that's what a company with multi-million dollar revenues, and thousands of employees, is willing to provide.

End of rant. I did have a question initially, which is this: does installing and using WSL2 break other virtualisation layers (VirtualBox and friends) in the same way that enabling Hyper-V to use Docker for Desktop broke such software prior to WSL2 support?

BBC on nuclear: asking the questions that don't matter.

You know what the real problem with nuclear is? It's not economically competitive. What if I told you: you can invest in a project that will tie up your money for 10+ years and once it's completed will provide energy for 10x the current cost of solar/wind. And while youre building this plant, solar/wind and batteries will keep getting cheaper.. and by the time your ready to start selling energy, maybe no one wants to buy it at any price that ever returns a dime to you or the other investors.

Why don't you just go flush your money down the toilet today and save yourself 10 years of your life.

Until nuclear solves that issue... the rest of this just doesn't matter. These were the questions of last decade before solar/wind and batteries scaled up.
CPU performance improvements were basically stagnant for so long that basically any computer from about 2010 onwards could be made an adequate office PC by installing a fresh copy of windows and swapping in an SSD. Now with AMD back in the game, and Intel being forced to improve I wonder if software bloat will catch up with the improved performance and make old hardware obsolete faster - hopefully not.
Does anyone have insight into why College Humor (referenced in the article) is blocked in India? This seems unusual and I wonder what (if any) reasons were provided.

Nice to know that Apple was given equal legal consideration in China in 2016 when its iBooks store and iTunes movie store were suddenly ordered shut after six months of operation. Oh, wait. . . they weren't given any legal recourse at all and the Obama administration did nothing about it while Silicon Valley grandees kept conspicuously silent.

The difficulty of learning Linux doesn't lie in what flags you should pass to ls, or other GNU core utils idiosyncracies.

The difficulty lies in making sense of the stack of different pieces of software that make up a Linux system, and the terminology we use to communicate about them (e.g. what mounting a filesystem means, which was initially hard for me to understand, coming from Windows).
Shady URL – make your URLs look suspicious
To be fair though, Julia's types play a much more forward role than your usual dynamically typed language.

Whilst there isn't a compiler enforcing strictness, it is idiomatic and encouraged to write type-stable code wherever possible.
What is "quite costly", compared to wha? The statement is so vague its not informative - how much is it actually?

It's cheaper than millions of tons of coal needed to produce an equivalent amount of energy, or any other fossil fuel. Only renewables have lower running costs.

Nuclear is not expensive in Russia , France or China
No, it would have made targeted advertising on the internet be very hard to develop. The internet existed before targeted advertising, with site-specific advertising based on the interests of a site. Stalking users across sites for the purpose of targeted advertising is a much newer development.

I agree that this doesn't align with the US's general approach to this sort of thing. That is a fault with the US's general approach, not with privacy protections.

I think that's the best thing to do for the general public.

Most social media already obey GDPR for European users (I suspect TikTok included), so having this law in the US will benefit every user everywhere by forcing companies to treat everyone uniformly with a higher level of protection by default due to the majority of their userbase being covered by such laws.
Nope. Only specific instances. And in this case POTUS has the power when it comes to foreign entities. It is enshrined in the constitutions. By the way, India and China are even doing this without even a single judicial recourse. USA simply is the best country that has been setup to allow and disallow this kind of things some hundreds years ago.
The first working nuclear reactor was hastily cobbled together in a tennis court. It's literally just a critical mass of inexpensive magic rocks, a control system, and some way to remove the heat.

The only reason it costs so much is precisely because everyone is paranoid, so we demand expensive security systems and protocols. If the regulators got out of the way you could probably put one together for a few million dollars.

Its a funny law but ultimately people like using the tools and languages they know. And most languages are good. So id expect youd see most things ported to most languages excepting where they are prohibitivley expensive. Also making things is fun.
We run OpenCL on top of Vulkan in a production application on Android, thanks to a project from Google / Codeplay and other contributors https://github.com/google/clspv. SPIR-V can't represent all of OpenCL, but maybe enough for most people's use cases.
True except that this article will make it more challenging given a greater whole picture of his finances for financiers.
That article shows the issue. “The entire process adds about 6 percent in costs for the French.”

Reprocessing is simply not cost effective due to how cheap reactor grade Uranium is.
I don't see how those are analogous. Shouldn't you be complaining that a Chinese court didn't temporarily block the Apple ban?
It's because the result of a glob is not immediately subjected to shell expansion.
It's interesting the trail of breadcrumbs he left leading up to his arrest. They go back years from his arrest.

Things like his posts on theshroomery.org where he leaked his gmail address with his real name. When they intercepted his fake IDs and he tells the agents "Anyone could hypothetically order these from the website Silk Road".
The article lists several examples of things that go beyond avoidance. He paid millions in mysterious ‘consulting’ fees that appear to have gone to his kids, despite them being employees. He declared that he had no financial benefit in a business he walked away from despite still owning 5 percent of it. ...
So the correct course of action, in your opinion, is to move towards a China-style legal system? If not, then what's your point?
Vogtle, Summer, Flamanville 3, and Olkiluoto 3 weren't delayed by NIMBY lawsuits. They were delayed by construction screw ups. Nuclear power plants are complex, and if they are required to be constructed to high standards, delays and overruns are almost inevitable.

A PV field, on the other hand, is much simpler, with much more inherent redundancy, and can tolerate construction mistakes without either safety implications or substantial loss of capacity.
The Verge backed it up in their article. It’s unclear who’s in the (virtual?) courtroom or how they sourced this info, but it kind of makes sense. Courts aren’t well-known for publishing courtroom activities in real-time and online (Zoom) trials that result in the death penalty are getting extra attention even as other cases (Assange) apparently suffered from a lack of press coverage or public attendance. Hard to say what the right answer is here, but I agree that a small (as short as necessary) press release from a courtroom website would be appreciated for any decision. In this case though, it’s hard to say a decision either way isn’t political, seems to me that would be why it’s still under seal?
Bold of you to assume the same rules apply to you and him. It's not even the same group of people evaluating your loan vs. his. Then they're going to evaluate his differently. Nobody's going to get promoted for landing your deal, but someone very well might for landing his. Yes, they'll look into his finances some, but they couldn't possibly probe every nook and cranny of such a large and complex empire where the dirty bits might be hidden. With greed nipping at their heels, they'll quickly convince themselves it's good enough. In short, not the same process or standards at all.

It does not necessarily mean that familiarity with mirrors would cause/improve self-awareness, it could just mean that the test subject would have to learn how to use it or associate the visual stimulus with the concept of self.

I can believe it. I once stumbled across a series of vlog entries, on Youtube, by some disheveled guy shouting in his pickup.

They were all rants about how Youtube was blocking his content, and they got progressively scarier. Near the end he was shrieking things like "Oh, Susan Wojcicki! You think you're sooo smart! You'll pay for this, you globalist scum! You think you can get away with this, but I'm armed and dangerous, and I will NEVER roll over!"

It may sound like standard Alex Jones content, but this was just some random nut, screaming at his cheapo phone, day after day, in an old pickup truck. So... concerning.

I reported the video. It took them two weeks to take the content down. Even then, they didn't ban the Channel, just the one video (out of several) that I reported.

If Youtube can't take prompt action to protect their own damn CEO, I don't expect them to handle any issue effectively.
