Paper jams are also related to use. Paper is dimensionally unstable. It swells and shrinks with changes in humidity. In a stack of paper the exposed top sheet will change more than the sheet below it. The edges of each sheet will change more than the center. Additionally paper has a grain structure and expands more in one axis than the others. Humidity also changes the thickness of paper.

That’s the nature of paper. Most people, and for a long time I was one of them don’t have a good working model of paper as a material. In part because mechanical printing was not common until thirty years ago. In part because in the first part of the PC revolution printing was more an everyday thing since online publishing was rarely a viable alternative.

After I wrote my previous comment, I fleshed out an idea it touches on tangentially.

Printers are not computational artifacts. Little more so than a dishwasher with a microprocessor. Though we tend to think of them as part of a computer, they act directly in meat space. Directly on paper with ink or toner.

Laser printers are less reliable because we print less. The old workhorse printers were workhorse printers because they were used so heavily that paper didn’t have much time to swell in bad ways.

There are printing methods that are good for infrequent use. Fanfold paper tractor fed through an impact printer is nearly bulletproof and dies gracefully as the ribbon ink depletes. But they are noisy, bulky, slow, feature poor, and inflexible. However most understand ESC2 and writing control software is accessible from any language that can send bytes to a port.
>>"The problem with money printing is it is all but impossible to figure out where the resources are being reallocated from - with taxes it is fairly obvious. With money printing it is not. It may well be impossible to say what we lost to get the bridge built because we can't figure out what would have happened if the money had not been printed. "

It seems to me that, following your logic, if you don't "print the money", it's also impossible to know what would have happened if the money have been printed.

You acknowledge here that the systems you have may not scale. I assume you're still trying to find market fit, and may end up heavily augmenting or redesigning these systems when you do. With that said, why did you prioritize spending your limited resources solving for multi-cloud?

I'm curious if the cost savings of optimizing cross clouds was worthwhile vs. the engineering effort / constraints you introduced into your systems at your scale.

"So, What Is White Privilege?

White privilege is—perhaps most notably in this era of uncivil discourse—a concept that has fallen victim to its own connotations. The two-word term packs a double whammy that inspires pushback. 1) The word white creates discomfort among those who are not used to being defined or described by their race. And 2) the word privilege, especially for poor and rural white people, sounds like a word that doesn’t belong to them—like a word that suggests they have never struggled.

This defensiveness derails the conversation, which means, unfortunately, that defining white privilege must often begin with defining what it’s not. Otherwise, only the choir listens; the people you actually want to reach check out. White privilege is not the suggestion that white people have never struggled. Many white people do not enjoy the privileges that come with relative affluence, such as food security. Many do not experience the privileges that come with access, such as nearby hospitals.

And white privilege is not the assumption that everything a white person has accomplished is unearned; most white people who have reached a high level of success worked extremely hard to get there. Instead, white privilege should be viewed as a built-in advantage, separate from one’s level of income or effort."

https://www.tolerance.org/magazine/fall-2018/what-is-white-p...

Or in short, as Kimmel once said: "White privilege doesn't mean your life hasn't been hard. It just means the color of your skin isn't one of the things that makes it harder."

> I don't understand the distinction you're describing in English. You give an example of "coal" and "stuff" and "carbon", but I don't understand why you're arguing that "carbon" belongs to a higher/academic register. Your examples seem to support the inverse of your argument, which is that German (and presumably other languages) has a distinction between a higher and lower register (one could choose between "Carbon" or "Coal-stuff") and English doesn't have this distinction (you must use "carbon" when talking about carbon and "coal" when talking about coal).

Not the OP, but - in German and other similar languages, there is no equivalent to "carbon" as a term with a separate etymology. The word for carbon is "coalstuff" - it is the thing which coal is made out of. Similarly, oxygen is "acidstuff" - because it was originally believed to be the cause of chemical acidity.

If English had developed as other Germanic languages did, it would also use these kinds of terms for the elements, as well as in other parts of science, academia, and formal speech. Compound terms, which form a large part of common language (e.g. motor-way, hand-bag, table-cloth) would also be used in technical, political, and legal language.

Instead, the "high" part of English is derived from Latin and Greek. The English call it science, rather than "nature-wit-making", because of the use of Latin among early academics meant they already had the word "scientia" instead. Nobody felt the need to apply Germanic-style compounds in a realm where all the vocabulary already existed.

This results in two registers in modern English - that for words which are used in common speech, which are distinctly Germanic-sounding, and use lots of compounds; and that for words which come from academic, scientific, or political speech, which are Latin- and Greek-sounding, and largely lack compounds.

English speakers can mostly automatically use these registers to affect their communication: you can easily make something sound pompous with a lot of high-register Latin-based terminology, or alternatively make it sound plain and common with low-register Germanic compounds.
Yes, that is definitely how it should be. Unfortunately the normal state of affairs is not the state of affairs in much of suburban New Zealand. I left Auckland eight years ago, and at the time rent was cheaper than mortgage payments with a ~20% deposit. The housing market is speculative, profits are on capital gains, which until recently were untaxed on land, and still "enjoy" exemptions. I understand for example, that if one holds a property for more than five years, it becomes exempt from capital gains tax. This seems far too easy a loophole to exploit. I suspect, although I'm not certain these days, that there is also a considerable supply problem driven in part by (1) the Christchurch earthquakes (2) a subsequent reassessment of building safety in Wellington resulting in many buildings being deemed unsafe and consequently closed (3) zoning policies.
Very interesting! My day job is selling something "real" (stone slabs). What sorts of margins are you making in paper?
It means essential for the usage of the website, as in technically essential, like login or shopping cart.

The law doesn't say anything about it, though: this is just the interpretation and how courts have been treating it, so I wouldn't try to find loopholes around the word "essential" if you intent to follow it.

Well, people use OCaml, I've introduced and used it in a couple of workplaces. OCaml shines in domains like system programming, and it's worth trying to introduce it for your team and see how it will end (for small projects if OCaml fits the domain).

I did that couple of times and people were glad not only because it's a delightful language to work with, but also because you can learn some stuff while working with it.

> Sure, many other languages suffer from that but it's still a very good ideal to strive for

I think that it's an unachievable ideal. There are two approach: batteries included and community driven.

Former leads to bloated slow half-baked or even straight incorrect implementations of every algorithm or parser or server people need in the standard library (python way).

Latter leads to fragmentation. Neither is perfect, and I haven't seen a language without such troubles.
> That's simply the continuation of a societal expectation that women will do the 'mothering.'

You are ignoring biological reality. The reason why this happens in 'hetero' couples is that the woman has an obvious physical relationship with the child. This doesn't happen in gay male couples because neither of the fathers can have this relationship. In lesbian couples, it's common for the non-bio mother to not only feel alienated, and even to do less childcare than the biological one (https://www.thespermbankofca.org/sites/default/files/1998_Ch...). Lesbian adoptive couples are more likely to share childcare equally, just like gay male ones of any kind, or heterosexual adoptive families.

My wife and I used to be really into this idea of parental equality in all things until we had a baby biologically. Now I obviously love my daughter, but there are some things only a mother can do, like nurse her, and this forms a special bond between mother and child. The fact of the matter is that men have to work harder to get that close of a relationship with their child that the mother is predisposed to. However, even then, the most devoted father would likely still see their child want to nurse when they get hurt or feel scared, until the child reaches 2-3 years of age. This is normal. Nursing is meant to do this, and although it's a physical act, it has real emotional consequence in both mother and child. My heart breaks hearing my daughter cry, but my nipples do not leak milk. It's not even that I couldn't calm her when she's mad, but the fact is that it would take significantly longer. Meanwhile, the child will be screaming and upset, and I should be willing to do this in the name of equality? On the other hand, handing her off to nurse with mom calms her instantly, as nature dictates.

To me it seems cruel to force my view of equality on the child by forcing them to remain terrified, frightened, anxious, and sad all because I want to feel as important as their mother, even while mom is right there. Is this unequal? Certainly. But it is the only humane decision in our opinions.

That is not to say we should think less of paternal love or the paternal relationship (especially since research shows that dads play a very important role in socializing their children into larger society), but rather that we should not see the inequality between mom and dad especially with young children and attribute it to some nefarious social force, instead of millenia of biological reality.

They're a de facto monopoly. The only thing they have that could be called "competition" is Amazon, and Amazon isn't quite an identical business.
Not so clear.

If you go to https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2014/2014008.pdf for a more detailed look at the data, you'll find that the fraction of adults world-wide who score at level 4/5 is the same as the USA. In age breakdowns, more US 55-65 year olds are at that top literacy bracket, and in every other age cohort is worse.

Therefore there is no reason to believe that the US at the level 5 is any different than the global average. And there is reason to suspect that the USA is getting worse over time.

Incidentally I was merely stating it as data and didn't blame this on a glaring education problem here. That would be a much longer discussion.
I wonder why it's flagged, the article is clearly trying the best to be reasonable impartial.

It's also well known that sometimes, in some countries maybe more then others, decisions wrt. children are biased toward mother's.

I have seen one such case in my environment myself.

I belive it is important that such Curt decisions are based on the combination of the situation both parents are in and guidelines in a impartial non gender specific way.

Through just to be clear while I have seen one such case myself I also have seen many cases with very reasonable decisions (in Germany).

Hmm maybe. I'm not evaluating my model of the world on its effect on society if made popular, only its proximity to reality and predictive power.

I don't think understanding that beliefs are arbitrary and fighting for your beliefs is mutually exclusive. If anything there's at least the acknowledgement that because many moral arguments work both ways, bringing people who disagree to your position requires other methods.

If you want to get more technical, there are normative and positive statements, the former describing what we are talking about here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normative_ethics

In that lens, "Your stance is what seems to me what would increase extremism" is probably positive because it could be evaluated experimentally, but "cutting in line is wrong" is a normative statement.

My open question (and I'm very open to being wrong) is if there's a way to convince line cutters from a culture of line cutters of their wrongdoing without resorting to violence or coercion. How would you do it?
I feel the govt should build market rate affordable homes. Singapore does this. Germany doesn’t have an affordable housing issue. Most people rent.

This is a reminder that account karma on Reddit and Hacker News doesn't really mean anything and doesn't make your posts more valuable, or give it any additional benefit in the algorithms. (I say that as someone with 153k Reddit karma and a user ranked #57 on the HN leaderboards: https://news.ycombinator.com/leaders )

Going truly viral on Reddit/HN is still ultimately random as well, which is why reposting (within reasonable amounts) is allowed on both platforms.

Simple heuristics can be very powerful as well.

Disclaimer: I work for Red Hat on OpenShift so I'm biased, but this is just my opinion.

Yep I agree. I recently helped a customer to move from Docker EE to OpenShift. They were frank about the pain points they experienced and why they were moving. It really came down to competition. K8s solves the problems they were having in a better way. Now with so much momentum behind K8s, nearly everybody is re-platforming their offerings on top of K8s.
Yes, but limited. It'd depend on whether the mods reupped the post the next morning so it could have a chance of hitting the front page or if a dupe managed to get through (which does happen). Either because the system permits it, or because the submitter added a #nonce to the end.

If the mods reupped it, then it'd work out really well for the original submitter. If karma mattered, I suppose it'd be worth trying a few times to see how it worked out.

Strangely enough, they're not asking, but rather threatening users/potential customers , asking at least my day job company to pay up (and it's not cheap - they push for the 1kusd/user deal) or they will cut off access. The language used by the salesperson is surreal, basically stating that shelling out a hefty sum of money is nothing.
It feels (I'm not saying it's their intent, their salesperson might just not be very good at selling anaconda ) like bullying so we're therefore looking for ways to get rid of it completely.

I fully appreciate the fact that they're running a business, but I've seen better ways of starting commercial relationships!

If any of the continuum folks are around, I'd be happy to hear more about this.

On a more general note, I hope this kind of thing doesn't make life harder for people working in large corps - one of my colleagues was expecting legal to clamp down on anything open source (I know, this is not the point but it unfortunately doesn't matter ) , since 'it's obvious that it can become a costly liability'.
Did you read that comic at the start and get the impression the judge ruling in favour of the mother to get money from a webdeveloper was a impartial account of events?
but the courts enforcing desegregation did work at the societal pressure level.

What I'm saying is that denying the fact that a partner gave up career growth to parent does not change that they did, and does not stop the pressure upon women to do so. It should not be tied to gender, it should be tied to who gave up paying work to do the child rearing labor.

Spousal and child support _are_ where divorce courts are influencing equity, by having the parent who's career was not impacted by parental duties provide monetary support to the parent who was.
