It's also a very serious thing to use the resources of society to protect people's private accumulations.

If people get to use the force of law to keep their stuff from being stolen, they do have an obligation to pony up for the shared costs of that law enforcement.

Not at all. Posts are removed when they're flagged by users and the mods don't seem to intervene. I wonder if they even have the power to intervene. I remember one post where dang (moderator) was basically trying to negotiate with one or two users who had flagged the thread to unflag it, after the title was changed (or maybe it was something discussed in the thread, this is a bit vague in my memorey, sorry). The post stayed flagged.

Bottom line: it's not the mods, it's the users. That's HN.
yeah, that's the most common way of doing it afaik
This is true even with still photography.

I still remember an example from a series of photography books that my parents purchased for me when I was teenager that went into this.

Two scenes from an inner-city neighborhood of children playing and adults standing around. The black and white version emphasized the general grittiness. (Which by that point in the 1970s we were proabably at least somewhat conditioned to often associate B&W with.)

By contrast, the color version had lots of bright colorxs and really emphasized the children happily playing.
My intuition hates this but intellectually I’m forced to accept it. I’ve handed a huge portion of my private life to Google in the form of my browser, my phone, my search engine, my email, and a handful of other services. I arrived at that for the reasons you lay out - better all my privacy eggs in one basket where I know what they intend to do with it than to spread them around to several smaller orgs who may have more incentive to use it in ways I wouldn’t approve of.
The issues of income inequality, most people making a living wage are non-sequiturs to the argument that says if you have an ample supply of cheap labour, the wage goes down.

I think you misunderstood what I said. That spying was ordered based on fake "intelligence" fabricated by foreign actors (and then further distorted by deep state actors such as Strzok) and paid for by the Clinton campaign. My argument is that everyone involved in that should be in prison. Strzok, Page, and Brennan at a minimum.

The reason why you don't know about any of this is because it doesn't get covered in left-wing media: https://web.ground.news/article/b9a0e58b-3c08-4623-9b93-4786.... At all.

When you're trying to hire someone, "right now" is important. If I want to hire a nurse, and there are no nurses available, I can't afford to wait 4 years for someone to train as a nurse to be available for me to hire.

If I just keep offering to pay more, then yes, I will eventually be able to hire a nurse that was previously employed somewhere else, but now _that_ person needs to hire a nurse. No matter how many times you go around this circle, there are not enough nurses for everyone to hire.

That is a shortage. A shortage doesn't typically come with the asterisk of "but if I wait long enough then maybe there won't be".

Would likely work if you had a CGM (continuous glucose monitor).

Blood glucose levels are really hard to get right with old insulin. Literally everything you do pushes your blood sugar demand up or down (sleep, stress, activity, macronutrient load/timing).

Modern insulin analogs tent to smooth out these variables.
CNN is not a legitimate news source.
Genuine question, what type of fraudulent abuse are you referring to? I see this vaguely mentioned a lot without much to back it up, but I'm open to the idea that it happens.

From my own anecdotal experience, I'll admit I have found the rules to be a little ridiculous. Company needs to post a sign in the office advertising the role to any Americans, wait a certain amount of time, and only then can offer it to an H1-B candidate. Of course nobody was following the spirit of those rules, but I wouldn't call that fraudulent abuse. These were companies that needed hires and had a genuinely hard time finding people that would pass our interviews and then accept our offers. We really didn't discriminate at all in the hiring panels between American and H1-B candidates (I think we were probably supposed to discriminate more than we did, and supposed to explicitly prefer Americans?), and it had nothing to do with saving money on salaries.

I recognize that the Bay Area tech boom is very unusual in how competitive it is (was?), but H1-Bs are technical visas and it's often tech companies that get the blame for abusing the system.
I often do a "Van Halen day" where I put on my headphones, crank it to 11, and play all the important Van Halen albums for about 5 or 6 hours (basically all of them up to 1984) - and I get shit done. It's amazing what switching from electronic "beats" to Van Halen for a day does for my programming.
I have a similar issue! When I learned Russian I installed the Russian keyboard layout on my computer. Because my keys (obviously) didn't match, I had to type by feel using a small diagram I printed as a reference, carefully placing index on f and j like you're supposed to. I just touch type in Russian now, but if I dare do that while typing English I stumble and lose track; I'm stuck doing it my normal messy (still faster than average) way.
How will this go in the future if more and more complex things are done with computing? Will we run out of energy at some point?
Those are non-immigrants, guest workers or temporary workers. Immigrants are defined, in US law, a green card holders. Congress caps the number of green cards to be issued at 366,000 (140,000 for employment based green cards) per year. [edit] It's about 1M once you factor in family members of US citizens.
> If half of a molecule is inside a black hole and half is outside,

You know how the universe is expanding, such that the milky way is moving away from (sufficiently) distant galaxies faster than the speed of light? But chemistry still works fine here? When you fall into a black hole, you accelerate until you're moving away from the rest of the universe faster than light, but all your atoms are still (relatively, assuming the black hole is large enough to have negligible tidal forces) stationary relative to each other. The event horizon is just the point where your speed relative to the effectively-distant[0] outside universe exceeds the speed of light. Any signal you emit can't be moving facter than c relative to you, so it will always be moving away from the outside universe (v<-c implies v+v'<0).

0: "Nothing can move facter than c" refers to relative motion of objects near each other, which is why the Hubble expansion of the universe doesn't contradict that either.
It's a silly argument to compare countries on a single issue though. Taxes might be higher in nordic countries but so are the pay, the lowest allowed wages, the money everyone who is out of a job gets, etc.

My only experience with Aliexpress was that I ordered $30 rubber feet replacements for my laptop, and they sent me a postcard with an advertisement for a fitness band written in German. When I complained with them, they told me to check the mailbox again and went silent. Got a refund eventually, but I can imagine fraud is a standard operating procedure there.
I'm worried this will backfire. Having a large company specifically target a conspiracy theory might lend credibility to that conspiracy theory since the followers have real evidence that "the big bad x" is out to get them.

I could be wrong though, very interested to see how this will turn out.
It depends. Short term and long term there's a lot of shuffling that would happen until it settled into an equilibrium (Maybe. On the other hand maybe it would be extremely sensitive to global issues). Those people all need food and housing and need to buy goods and services, so it's not like you're obsoleting an existing person's job, you're adding demand as you add supply. Whether one eventually outweighs the other is dependent on many factors.

That said, I would assume that short term increased supply would lead to a tighter job market.
Anyone trying to sell FDA controlled substances in the US needs FDA approval.

In case of insulin the problem is that currently it's a mess, supply is low, demand is high, so price is high too.

Just a note, but actually relevant to the main topic of the thread:

> Judaism is folk religion of the Israelites, ...

In the Hebrew Bible, the tribe of Judah was just one of twelve tribes. Nowadays, the Samaritans still consider themselves distinct from the Jews with different tribal lineage.
I don't think I am confused but maybe I wasn't clear enough for you. It's not just the quantity but the methods of production and the negative side effects of those methods. Just because we can scale output with these methods doesn't make them efficient in every sense. When you have to kill whole populations of birds and bats and other important participants of an ecosystem, across massive geographic regions, even if it's just to grow enough to keep from starving, then you are introducing a lot of problems that have so far gone unaccounted for. In fact, they will eventually lead to extreme decreases in production as the land withers.

This is not a matter of shoe-horning an agenda, this is just the consequences of our trajectory as a society which are generally recognised by any relevant experts (but also pretty obvious to anyone who takes the time to think it through). I don't know why you seem to be unwilling to account for these factors and rather stick to your simplistic argument of "production efficiency by any means = good". It would seem that you are actually the one who is clinging to a political agenda, whether you are aware of it or not.
The JD was, obviously, far more descriptive than the four words I listed there. I'm saying the actual, relevant requirement, not the description of the job.
Even if they didn't, I'm willing to bet that most datacenters are dominated by compute, not storage.
Everyone I talk to in the States also talks about their salaries in gross amounts, not post-tax (same applies for business advertising jobs).

Canada in general has much lower income inequality, which is an a-OK trade off for slightly lower wages, as long as basic needs are covered.
> Krugman's editorials are polemics, not economics.

The discussion here is not about economics. The discussion is about the impact of the (flawed) Reinhart-Rogoff paper, which one commenter thought was overstated.

> I don't think anyone should trust the content of an opinion piece [...]

Krugman is of the opinion that said paper had 1. a big (and 2. a deleterious) impact. For the first contention (which is, again, the pertinent topic), you don't have to rely on Krugman's expert assessment, though, you can look at the evidence: the infamous 90% inflection point had been quoted all over the place (as for example in the WaPo editorial cited by Krugman).

Lastly, what makes an article describing "the logic, motives, and rationales of ideological opponents" intrinsically untrustworthy?
Sure, but do you interpret "functional and utilitarian" as meaning anything different? Utilitarian tends to imply functional + ugly.
"there are very few words in the English language that can be typed with only one hand on the Dvorak keyboard (for the curious, the two are “papaya” and “opaque”)."

Probably needs to be clarified. There are even subsets of "papaya" that can be typed with one hand! e.g. "pay", "yap", "papa".
OP here: happy to answer questions about my setup. Just to clarify - the core idea is not shortcuts but how you can use them to integrate changes in your life like reflecting on how you feel or how well you understand your learning material.
I somewhat agree its a good thing that all tech is not driven by complaints but the problem is virtually every single phone is the same thing. When changes something and you don't like it, you better get used to it because next year every single android phone will have the same change because they all target the mass market unless you look at ultra budget android go phones.

The AirPods might be really nice and not nearly as problematic as the initial reactions predicted but they are still massively more expensive than wired headphones and made a huge collection of existing working headphones obsolete.

Let's get some terminology right.

Immigrants are defined in US law as lawful permanent residents, i.e. green card holders. Congress caps the number of green cards issued at 366,000 per year. Therefore, the number of new immigrants to the US each year is 366,000. The 140,000 number I initially used incorrectly was the number of employment based green cards as compared to family based. I've updated the math. [edit] It's 1M once you factor in family of citizens.

Everyone else is a non-immigrant visitor, and not relevant to my numbers.

> The U.S. foreign-born population reached a record 44.8 million in 2018.

The immigrant and descendent of immigrant population of the US is roughly 100%, because there are only 5 million native Americans in the US.

> What amazes me is how much hate the US gets for being one of the most generous countries on Earth.

Canada brings in 25X per capita the number of refugees and 10X per capita the number of new lawful permanent resident.

You're simply mistaken.
KITTI-360 Dataset for Autonomous Driving
From the project page:

We present a large-scale dataset that contains rich sensory information and full annotations. We recorded several suburbs of Karlsruhe, Germany, corresponding to over 320k images and 100k laser scans in a driving distance of 73.7km. We annotate both static and dynamic 3D scene elements with rough bounding primitives and transfer this information into the image domain, resulting in dense semantic & instance annotations on both 3D point clouds and 2D images.
> Size gives companies the ability to earn surplus profit which is turned into long-term innovation rather than short-term fighting for market share.

Except when companies don't, and instead use that surplus profit for:

- lobbying the Government for laws favorable to the company
- funding laws and groups that favor breaking up the power of workers (e.g. no increase in minimun wages, anti-labor union laws)
- investing that surplus into buying back the shares of the company, enriching its investors

There have been some investments in pure research and product R&D, definitely. But expecting companies to invest the majority of gains from centralization into research isn't what we've observed over the past few decades.
A twist on that is that when Eddie played he had a beatific smile, and never the twisted-face shredder guitar look.

Ask HN: What annoys you about YouTube?
Over the past couple of weeks I’ve notice many people find aspects of YT annoying or even frustrating. I personally stopped watching YT just because it’s hard to find quality content, not to mention, unless you have premium, it’s impossible to watch with all the ads. However, just by chance, I’m working on a project with a partner I met a few months back, that aims to help users find and organize curated content from YT in a sane way. But first I felt I should ask others with the same sentiments about YT and see what else we can do.

There's polarizing issues, but actually a lot of issues I find myself agreeing with lately. Anti-war sentiment is a big one (I love hearing about troop draw downs in Iraq and Afghanistan and Syria).

And Trump accuses the IC community of unconstitutional spying on politicians and Americans, the same thing technorati have been saying (at least until 2016, when it became cool to trust the FBI and CIA).
The Number Facebook Won’t Say
That doesn't seem contradictory to me. There's nothing inherently wrong with shallow knowledge. Shallow knowledge is only bad if you apply it or advertise it as more.

Isn't modern spellcheck/autocorrect basically this? The OP expanded the autocorrect dictionary to include lots of their favorite "misspellings" of words and phrases.

The rate has been consistent since at least 1992.

The wealth and income inequality in Canada is much lower than in the US.

The standard of living in Canada is just as high as the US. Canada's Human Development Index is .922, 13th globally. The US HDI is .920, so a hair lower. 45% of the Canadian population lives in 6 of the 35 most livable cities in the world.

While that is true, ignoring the fact that H1B destroys the feedback between shortage and supply is just as bad.

Possible solutions are:

-Require the hirer to contribute to scholarship funding in the area of work

- Limit H1B to 75th percentile in salary terms.
Interesting, are there significant performance fixes in the mix?

I always got the impression .net was never particularly performance focused: there were some bits you could use if you wanted to go a bit faster, but it doesn't seem designed from the ground up to be fast, and AoT compilation seems to be perpetually on the back-burner.

Compared to other languages like C++ or Rust, which have been built for speed...

Edit: changed my comment because it was a bit too argumentative.
The article is about a browser plugin, it doesn't state anywhere that Vim is more efficient at writing code.
I mean, I can refer you to https://www.etymonline.com/word/Viking :

> Scandinavian pirate, 1801, vikingr, in "The History of the Anglo-Saxons" by English historian Sharon H. Turner; he suggested the second element might be connected to king: But this later was dismissed as incorrect. The form viking is attested in 1820

The word "wicing" of Old English has no modern descendant; it was not used for the period of several centuries between then and 1800. This is well known. As noted in the entry, in modern use it first appears with the Norse nominative -r suffix included!
