I’m not defending the south, per se, I’m defending statements like “it tends to be more common in the South.”

The experience you described doesn’t seem to me that it justifies saying the south is worse or better than other regions.

The reason why you see people jump in the defend the south is that you are making a general statement about an entire region.

Here’s what I mean. Someone said that midwesterners are nice to people if they are white. Downthread you share that part of the reason you left the south is because of discrimination you experienced and I think you were pointing out that it was odd that people jumped in to defend the south.

It seems reasonable that people would try to more accurately describe the south and share their experiences as well.

Saying people are triggered seems to belittle their input. If I want more input I don’t call you triggered for feeling compelled to share info.

This is totally different if you think that there actually is some higher level of discrimination in the south or midwest or wherever. But I don’t think your anecdote isn’t really that helpful for tarring or exonerating a region. Despite how true or honest it may be.

Everybody should be able to read the private correspondence of politicians? That's absurd. Politicians are (believe it or not) people too, and have families, and relationships, and private lives.

From what I’ve read the word viking derivates from the word vik which basically means ’bay’ - viking is hence one that travels by the bay.
> [...] if your young children are being swarmed by 30-50 feral hogs you probably aren't going to disappear into your house, unlock your gun safe, retrieve and load your gun then come back to their rescue 5 minutes later.

I may be misunderstanding your comment, but that seems perfectly reasonable to me. Retrieving a gun doesn't take 5 minutes.

Let t be the time at which the hogs arrive.

I can sprint from my basement to the top floor in a bit over 5 seconds. I can find something in a closet in about 5 more seconds. That's about 12-13 seconds to having a gun in my hands, but let's account for opening the gun safe and fumbling around for magazines. The clock is now showing t+30.

Let's now assume the gun isn't loaded. I'm probably a bit stressed by all of this, but almost anyone can load a magazine-fed rifle in 5 seconds. t+35s.

Now I have two choices:

1. Open the bedroom window (~3s), take aim (~2s) and fire. => t+40s

2. Sprint down to the ground floor (~3s), run out the back door (~2s), get into a shooting position (~3s), aim (~2s) and fire. => t+45s

A conservative estimate has me shooting hogs in 45 seconds. If I live in a place where this is a problem, I'm also likely to take steps to prepare. I might keep the gun safe in a more accessible place (e.g. the garage). I might store the firearm in the gun safe with a magazine already seated in the well. I might keep my eyes open and notice the hogs at a distance, giving me the time to fetch a gun sans the frenzy. In some parts of the world, it's common to keep a rifle at hand when outside.

I don't live in a part of the world where I have to deal with feral hogs, but this doesn't strike me as a "gratuitous excuse to shoot 30-50 feral hogs". Nor does it strike me as diagnostic of unsafe firearm handling, as others have suggested.

The most worrying thing here is the idea of shooting in a place where little kids were running around/playing just moments ago. While this kind of situation can be handled safely, it's also where dramatic accidents tend to happen. A big problem with firearms handling is that it's a perishable skill. You forget. You get rusty.

The problem is that Comcast (or Comcast Business) is DOCSIS, which is shared. If you get on a CMTS which is overloaded (either through an area with higher than average usage per customer, or too many customers connected) you are pretty screwed. QoS on DOCSIS is an oversight which I've never really seen work properly (mainly it is upstream that is the problem, and it's just hard to enforce this on such a shared channel).
It seems rather silly to limit the number of free sites unless you somehow restrict the number of accounts people can open. Also, by restricting, you lose the analytics to see how people are using the service when, not if, people start creating multiple accounts.

The last time I did this my experience was a little different. There was a big bank of questions that you could vote on like Reddit, and questions would get marked as “banned” or unmarked.

You’re free to ask the questions that you liked, but I found it helpful to use one of the questions from the bank that had a ton of commentary, and then polish it to my own interview style.
Of course, the startup is doing what it takes to survive. I'm not saying this approach is wrong in any way. I'm just saying that this will result in these niche stacks staying niche and have a much smaller dev pool to hire from, now and in the future.
I don't agree. Regular users simply won't know to install those plugins in the first place. Leave the advanced APIs in for those that seek it. Security and maintenance concerns aside, of course.
Yes, P(correlation ∩ causation) = 1 would be textually written as "It is almost certain that correlation and causation occur together". Or to bring you closer to the example, you could say P(causation | correlation) = 1 to say "It is almost certain that causation exists if correlation exists".

You can alter the right-hand side, but then you have to stop saying 'almost certain' because everyone assumes that means a measure one set.

So, for instance, you might believe that P(causation | correlation) = 0.8 across all human chosen distributions. You might well be right since adversarial distributions are so rarely chosen, i.e. there is a meta-effect where humans are choosing interesting queries in the first place.

so- we have a large "concrete mixing tub" we use as a litterbox for the 2 cats. it's roughly 36" x 24". It's in a 2-level wooden enclosure my father-in-law built just outside our house, with a cat door connecting it to the interior of our house.

No reason it couldn't be used inside, of course, but it would eventually smell more inside, versus a smaller box you scoop more frequently. (of course, you can scoop a large box frequently too, it just takes longer).

I tell myself I scoop it twice a week, but to be honest, it often ends up being more like "weekly", on garbage day.

> What is that benefit? Micro-services aren’t the point.

This is a key point, if you can't articulate the benefit of migrating to micro-services, maybe you don't need it.

Micro-service is not a panacea, the architecture is intended to solve some practical but also very boring problems around scaling traffic and engineering teams.
I don't know what their endgame is but it seems they timed the release well strategically. Two hours earlier, Trump tweeted that he was ending stimulus negotiations, which led to a big market selloff into the close. Any selloff of FAAMG attributable to the breakup big tech announcement will be unnoticeable, but may accelerate or extend an overall decline which could pressure some connected fiscal conservatives to call for continuation of stimulus talks, and prompt some leans-right voters to consider market decline. So much of the messaging all around seems bizarre that I've started to assume it's simply 'optimized,' and it registers with some subset of voters, making them more likely to vote. If it all seems disjointed, you're not the audience, you check both boxes of 'will vote' and 'vote decided.'

It worked remarkaby well, actually: Venetian Republic lasted 1000 years, served as a bulwark against western expansion of the Ottoman empire by running an effective combination of trade engagement and military projection, and was arguably a shining light of western civilization for most of that time. They were done in by the rise of nation-states and loss of income from their Eastern trade, not by failure of their system.
I'm using Wayland and libinput on an X1 Carbon, which I'd expect to use a very comparable touchpad, and it works flawlessly. I easily can move the mouse by individual pixels by just rolling my finger, or throw it across the screen.

You may want to experiment with your desktop environment's mouse settings, and if that doesn't help, you should consider providing a detailed report to the libinput folks and see if they can address it.
Sort of - it allows them to build lots of different sorts of systems - many CPU chiplets and a mem controller, 1 CPU and a mem controller etc etc all from the same basic components - Intel have to spin a new chip for each SKU, AMD can build different SKUs by packaging stuff differently - it gives them a lot more flexibility and means they can spin out new stuff to fit a new market segment much more quickly

>The central dynamic around data collection in the information economy even amplifies that trend. Smaller firms are not going to reap benefits on the same scale as large firms can

I think data collection and company size is a very interesting topic. It's very hard to effectively anonymize data. It's been shown numerous times that just a little bit of extra information can undo that.

A large company, such as Google, can use the data they collect themselves. They are capable extracting value from this data through other products and ideas. A small company is much less likely able to capture the value from the data they have. So they sell it. They will anonymize it and do everything that is the standard at the time, but in the long term that data probably won't stay anonymous.

Would you rather have a megacorp use your data themselves or for your data to be bought and sold by different (smaller) companies that may or may not use your data? Which one would lead to less abuse of the data?
Make pet food out of it.
I don't understand what people have against VPNs. I don't want my ISP knowing when I use Tor, since my ISP is in the same country as me and that makes it easier for them to have access to me if they wanted to. Using a VPN means my ISP only sees me connecting to a VPN (which is arguably more innocuous). Then you can use Tor from there. And if you only use HTTPS sites, then only you and the end site can read the traffic. And obviously don't login to accounts created outside of Tor or that use details that can lead back to your real identity.
> Just triggering you to get you to respond. Also why does age matter here.

Mm-hm. Like I said, I’ll talk to you on your level. I asked your age out of curiosity. I already judge you, so don’t worry about that.

> Thus not even "intelligence" and "existence" are categories that go side by side... let alone "morality."

All you’re saying is that these are abstractions. Do abstractions exist? That’s a philosophical question about what it means to exist.

> You can define a word "gloop" to encompass literal feces and science and logic. Therefore the concept of "gloop" which includes feces is more fundamental than science because it literally encompasses the scientific perspective.

I mean, yes? If you define gloop that way, then obviously it is at least as fundamental as science is. Good luck finding others who are as interested as you are in feces and science.

> Also I never accused others of playing "word games" I am saying people are ignorant and are participating in a word game without even knowing it.

More hypocrisy. People are apparently “participating” in a word game but not “playing” said word game. Yet you simply won’t admit that you were wrong. Your ego completely blocks that possibility out.

> Your bias prevents you from making the truly logical maneuver similar to how a christian who's been worshipping Christ for 20 years won't be able to give up his religion based off of a logical argument.

Projection at its finest. Tell me, how aware are you of your lack of self-awareness?

Or perhaps a less loaded question: how did you come to the conclusion that you’re oh-so-rational? That’s epistemology, by the way. We both know you’re smug as hell, but the reasons why are not currently explainable by science, so to epistemology we turn.

Interesting way to split the difference.
I generally agree with the sentiment but you definitely go too far.

> Game theory validates that regulatory capture is 100% the issue.

Regulatory capture cannot be the issue because it exists pretty much everywhere (in the Western world, I guess), yet US prices/insurance/medical spending is higher than in e.g. Europe.

Maybe it's the US flavour of regulatory capture - that's an option - but then you should be railing against that, not pulling a fake reductio ad game theory argument out of your sleeve - I mean, what do you propose as the alternative, an unregulated drug market? I mean, I'm very much in that direction - I believe all drugs should be legal and accessible, the only restriction I'd put on the "freely" part of "freely accessible" (e.g. new/experimental drugs only if you're dying, hard drugs like heroin only if you go through 6 months of classes & psychiatric evaluation, etc.) - but even that's clearly still a "regulated market" (e.g. disallows misleading advertising).
Microsoft stagnated only because of leadership executing on a weak vision. Microsoft was at war with open source under a mantra of make the world Microsoft and their market didn’t care. It’s like Microsoft was executing from the same playbook as Apple before Apple discovered media licensing even though Microsoft was 20x larger. Outdated vision. By embracing the opposite approach they turned things around.
I'm glad this was posted. I really liked how they introduced only one feature; that was enough to push me to install and get past "I don't know vim, why would I like this". I can press 'f' and type letters to follow links. No vim-ness. Just a nice feature. (You can press "?" to see more features.)

> What stops ADiapers from optimizing their product to sell well on Amazon, Amazon building algorithms that preference ADiapers, and Amazon Holdings profiting off of this on both sides?

There are plenty of regulated markets that work pretty decently. Financial markets are one example where preventing the market operator to compete against clients was a critical condition to create conditions for the market to thrive.

Ironically, most big tech companies that come to mind today _do_ lobby to have carriers broken and regulated as utilities. Do you imagine Verizon, Comcast, etc demanding 30% of Internet's revenue?
I changed the wording slightly. Wasn't trying to be harsh or a jerk.
Is there a particular reason why you use 3 files instead of one where you (for example) prefix question lines with a Q and random thoughts with a T? It seems to me that the cost of constantly context switching between files might get in the way.
> Selling on Amazon has become very similar to gambling in a casino. The lucky few get rich with the millions gambling away their fortunes in the hopes of making it big someday.

> In effect Amazon takes at the minimum of 65% of the product cost as it’s revenue.

> Even worse is that returns are almost always borne by the seller...Amazon goes so far as to charge the sellers for the selling fees, the ad costs, the returns costs and outrageously even the disposal costs for returned items. Sellers lose up to 200% or more of the product cost on every return.

At some point something has to break and people will start leaving for other ecommerce platforms...right?
> Google only develop Android and Chrome to fuel their ad business, those two product can’t turn a profit on their own

That's doubtful.

> as proven by Mozilla

Mozilla? You mean that one terrible company that only exists due to Google's pity? Or rather, Google's strategic philanthropy so that they can show regulators that they aren't a monopoly because Firefox exists.

The reason we don't see other competitors in the space is because Google's (and Apple's on iOS) monopoly makes it extremely difficult to compete. I could totally see myself paying for a high quality, privacy-focused, cross-platform, ad-blocker-friendly web browser. I wouldn't pay Mozilla, I wouldn't pay Google, and I wouldn't pay Microsoft, Amazon, or Apple. But I would pay a small software company who isn't trying to exploit me at every turn in the pursuit of unsustainable growth (or LARPing in Mozilla's case).

Maybe not everyone would agree with me, but I'm sure a lot of people would. Maybe enough to build a sustainable business. I feel like people are forgetting that a company doesn't need to be a Google-scale behemoth or monopoly in order to be successful and sustainable.
Good idea. After Monsanto (excuse me, Bayer) falls and there are no more plants, we'll still need electrolytes. Definitely a long-term growth stock.

My only real complaint with Discord is how it treats audio (and maybe video?) links when you close and open the application. Don't make the mistake of shutting off your computer while connected to a voice chat as it will automatically resume the connection when it starts back up.

That quote is about a person with a million dollars in wages in the highest income tax state and it doesn't factor in payroll taxes which contribute to the tax wedge on income. The tax wedge for a single worker with no children earning the nations average wage in 2019 was 49.4% for germany and 29.8% for the united states [0]. That's not to say government provided healthcare is incompatible with lower taxes as there are other countries around the US tax wedge rate with government healthcare but germany is not a good example of that especially for the average person.

I love Julia, and in many areas both the language and standard libraries are quite polished.

However, simple parallelism based on threads (e.g. a parallel map) surprisingly requires a third party library. ThreadsX, the one you posted about, is also my favorite option.

Besides, the standard pipe operator (|>) doesn't support partial application. This has lead to several third-party reimplementations via macros, transducers, etc. Since this is a basic feature, fragmentation is a bit worrying.
Show HN: Lunchbox Ninja
[resubmitting because my previous post accidentally didn't include the main link]

After a long period of finding entire lunches uneaten at the end of the day, we started asking our kids each day what they want for lunch the next day. While it wasn't the only thing that changed, giving them the choice has definitely had a positive impact on how much food gets wasted and how often kids come home hungry.

This year, I took it a step further by letting the kids "order" their lunches using a visual form on my phone. They absolutely love it!!!

I'm considering building an app to make this easy for other parents to do. If this sounds interesting to you, please consider registering your interest at https://areyouinterested.co/site/Lunchbox-Ninja
