Deliberate and repeated practice is a great idea, but in my experience trying to use "willpower" to focus is actively counter-productive. Instead, I've found that practicing mindfulness meditation and "letting go" of thoughts when I notice my mind wandering works far better.

I've been using Headspace[1] as an introduction to meditation and it only took a few weeks of regular meditation, working up from 5 minutes a day to 20, for me to feel a real difference. I didn't know what to expect going in—I was a bit skeptical of the whole idea, to be honest—but I'm glad I stuck with it.

They look at many aspects at the beginning of the race. By the end these other aspects, the “fundamentals”, are purposefully dialed down to 0 and all that remains is an aggregate of polls. This is based on a theory that polls should be more accurate the closer you get to Election Day because voters have less time people have to change their minds. If those polls are systemically wrong, then there is nothing 538 can do to fix that; it’s a literal garbage in garbage out moment.

Good point. I'm certainly not an expert on the law -- I did some quick googling, but not a lot.

Session cookies, e.g. are fine. As best I can tell, "remember me" / "remember my email" checkboxes still do require a banner, though I'm not sure. Preference cookies in general seem to. That strikes me as silly.

Facebook's tracking me on thousands of unrelated websites; Wikipedia is remembering that I X'd out the donation banner last week and don't want to be shown it again[0]. These are entirely different use-cases with entirely different privacy implications. As far as I can tell, both require a banner, and while the banner allegedly has (or links to) details about which is occurring, I've never, ever paid enough attention to those banners to see those details.

Part of this mess may be due to the fact that our client software is dominated by the largest advertiser, but I'd prefer regulations that address that by demanding privacy-respecting settings and setting defaults, not by showing me banners that I've never found useful.

I use uBlock Origin and Firefox' tracking protection. I don't use the consent banners. I think most people automatically click "yes" on those, yet given the option to block tracking cookies en masse, would enable that option.

"to condemn Antifa"
Antifa is a construct from Fox News to designate a broad category of mostly young people that range from anarchists calling for direct democracy to people who are against racism and intolerance that have in common that they are not against clashing with police forces. So condemning Antifa does not make much sense. Maybe he could have condemned violence in the protests but anyone who has been in a demonstration knows elements in both the protesters and the police are looking for the clash. But the police always has the upper hand and violently crush what is mostly damage to property. Just tell me how many people have been killed by so called "Antifa"? Is that comparable to the number of people that have been killed by right-wing activists? Why is it always the progressive leaders that get shot? Right wing activists always say they are here to "defend" against something but they are the one attacking.
Telling minority individuals they don’t understand the experience of minorities and thinking you’re not a racist, lol.

The left is insanely racist: just look at how Joe Biden said if you don’t vote for him, you’re a bad black — or that lady said the same to 50cent.

I can’t even imagine being so racist you’d say that to someone, but hey — that’s who Democrats wanted for president.

Biden is about a billion miles away from Communism.

In Germany he would be a boring conservative.

This insinuation that the Democratic Party makes the world in some sense safer for Communists is blatant absurdity.

The reverse – the Republican Party and especially Trump making the world a safer place for Nazis – is very true. Nazis can feel encouraged and supported in what they do by Trump.

Obviously even Trump, however shambolic, manages to build up some level of plausible deniability there.

(All of this says someone who, yeah, is totally up for some Marxist ideas. Don’t worry, I’m not an American.)
How do you picture someone using this?

The reason I ask is that I've never figured out a good way to make use of this type of material. Reading idly means I retain almost nothing. I try to avoid spaced repetition on things I don't actually use (that has turned out to be a good filter to avoid over-adding flashcards).

Whenever I have a problem that can be solved by a Perl one-liner, there are two obstacles to using something like your book:

1. Figuring out that my problem is solvable with a Perl one-liner in the first place, and

2. Finding the right patterns in the book to piece together to achieve my goal.

Have you considered any sort of tiered index to allow one to classify a problem at hand and look up the relevant structures int he book?

Fairlight was not really a leader in the field of sound editing software. It was a ground breaking company 30 years ago when they introduced the Computer Musical Instrument (CMI), but they went through hard times due to the incredibly high cost. The company was reformed several times, was bought and sold several times, and no doubt had some vaguely valuable IP coming with it. But their sound editing software has never been a leader in the field, and wasn't widely used. Being a part of Resolve will likely result in more exposure and use of any technology that gets reused.
The division will not be fixed until they realize that the division is not ideological.

Most of these comments imply that the division is just ideological. I guess everyone here is so financially well off as to never having been too poor to afford health insurance but just above the cut off to get free health insurance. Families with kids and high living costs, and then being forced to pay over $2000 as penalty for not affording healthcare, it broke many spirits.

It was the ACA "Individual Responsibility Mandate" and it is the reason why all the hispanics in Florida without health insurance that I know, voted for Trump in 2016--because he said he'd get rid of that depressing $2000+ fine. Which he finally did.

Simple as that, and certainly not as idealistic as these comments imply. Those who don't see that did not have to pay that ACA "Individual Responsibility Mandate" while being poor in an expensive city.

A "new direction for divided US" would mean that these politicians stop pretending people vote idealistically versus based on finances. Reading these other comments, one would think all the brown Floridians who voted for Trump are white supremacists. I thought Hacker News was above that simplistic rhetoric.

It’s a very out of the box idea (one of the recommendations is to abandon national languages and compel the widespread adoption of Esperanto, another one is the designation of most of the Italian peninsula as “Churchland”), but it’s impressive that people could seriously entertain such out of the box ideas as recently as 100 years ago.

The radial approach is really an interesting one. Imagine what all the border crossings would look like? All of the villages that would end up split. How would this territory defend itself, with these borders the are irreverent to topography and natural resources? What would the apparatus of state look like?

It probably would cause as many new conflicts as it would solve. But it’s impressive somehow to see such a weird plan so deeply-developed. One can’t imagine that it wouldn’t be immediately shot down before it could be developed, today.

It’s reminiscent of that famous plan suggested by a school teacher, to dam the San Francisco Bay, which was taken seriously enough to be modeled to scale by the military.

TCP puts checksum in every packet proving it does not assume a perfect channel.
Fuse is probably a better starting point. Something like sshfs. Adapt it so supports showing the directory sub-tree, but not the files (other than ones selected with the native GUI).

On macos it is quite common now for apps to pop up a dialogue box to ask for file open/browse permission for a particular location. I presume something similar is done on Windows A.
I use WSL2 as my daily driver on a laptop. I find CPU performance to be very good if not quite equal to the native Linux setup I had previously. I don't run IO heavy tasks daily, so no comment on that. I do develop things that require a much newer Linux kernel (eBPF/XDP) so I also have a couple more VMs on Hyper-V, and finally remote machines with proper NICs (that I wouldn't really be able to have on my laptop anyway) - yet still, the whole setup feels very convenient and snappy.

I wouldn't run a production server on WSL, that sounds like madness. It is, however, a great development environment for me, where I have almost everything I needed from the Linux side, along with allowing my laptop to do 8 hours on battery on Windows as opposed to 3 on Linux, sleep working properly, wifi not needing an occasional reboot to start working after wakeup, etc.

So my anecdote vs your anecdote: it works (great) for me.
I was with your comment until this:

> Neither have a lot of the people paining Trump as a monster and making him as the scapegoat for everything that's going wrong in the US (and the world).

These responsibility and reality denying assertions fuel division. Obviously Trump isn't responsible for everything wrong in the world. But he is certainly responsible for some. Trump hamstrung the federal public health response, gave speeches encouraging everyone to be irresponsible, pushed snake oil cures, stole PPE from states, sucked all the air out of the room for intelligent discourse, and seemed to generally do anything he could to make Covid worse (likely due to denial and disrespect of experts). If the office of the President had been vacant for the past year, we would be in better shape pandemic wise.

Trump was elected for very valid concerns, as I've been trying to tell my blue friends since 2016. Where he went after that was very destructive (and no, not in the "creative destruction" sense). This election should have been a landslide, but for a massive propaganda push discrediting outgroup media as "fake news". Propaganda driven groupthink is the real dynamic of our division, and until people start becoming immune to falsely authoritative sources, it's only going to get worse.
> The power requirements are substantial and use thousands of volts.

While 100% correct statement, the wording here could potentially lead someone to make an invalid assumption.

The core reason why it’s “thousands of volts” isn’t because a lot of power is needed specifically (although that is the case), it’s because of the nature of electrical conductors. Power loss over long distances is much more heavily influenced by current (current is squared in fact in the equation) rather than voltage. To say another way, you’ll have a lot less power loss with 50k volts at 100 amps than you would with 250V at 2,000A, despite both having comparable wattage (this is in part why high voltage power lines exist on land). Another reason is that electrical conductors (especially with copper, but also with aluminum and others) are heavy and the higher the amperage, the larger the conductor needs to be and thus the more weight.

I agree it’s much more of an experience judgment.

The real harm of poor quality “checklist psychology” articles like this one is that uninformed HR or aggrieved employees will treat it with too much respect and legitimacy, meanwhile the actual psychopath or destructive leader is going to get out in front of this and start disingenuously saying other people are destructive leaders and cut off their credibility to push back or undermine the psycho’s authority.

For example, if you see a high ranking leader trying to deflect valid criticism of their choices by saying “assume positive intent” you can be sure this is happening.

“Assume positive intent” is a siren call of a destructive leader because the plan is to reframe their challenger’s valid criticisms in an “us vs them” abstract debate about who is or isn’t acting in good faith, completely tabling the merits of the argument out of scope. The genius of it is that “assume positive intent” allows you to sidestep the usual reputation hit you would take for making something “us vs them” - basically “assume positive intent” is HR-permitted code for framing us-vs-them blame to sabotage otherwise legitimate criticisms of leadership - “criticism” itself becomes politically disallowed.

Articles like this one act like legitimizers for that kind of stuff, since it’s all just vague, fluffy pop-psychology statements that could virtually apply to any coworker whether their situation is legitimate or they are being a destructive leader or they are just having a bad week.
Ask HN: How do you manage tasks from different sources?
I have different services and apps I have to follow at work to not miss any tasks I have to do. My programming assignments are in Jira and Bitbucket, sometimes somebody mentions me in our Confluence Wiki and I keep a list of personal to-dos in Microsoft To Do.

Usually, a lot of the stuff that is not saved in Jira falls short.

At home, I have a similar problem. There it is my personal list on Google Tasks and several Github projects where I have to manage issues I have to do.

Peace plan that wipes out entire nations and cultures?

Huh, how peaceful.
As a Swiss I find this interesting, but I think it misses an integral part of what is a ‘Kanton’, at least most of them: A former city state that has joined the confederation on ‘its own will’, however that worked for the local government at the time of joining. By becoming a ‘Kanton’, the main form of governance of the confederation has become mandated, direct democracy.

IMO this requires a coherent existing local government that is representative of local culture to the point where a majority of its inhabitants at least agrees with how they’re governed. Note that this doesn’t necessarily imply homogenous ethnicity, language or religion (although in Switzerland it did separate into catholic vs. protestant regions). A brain-child like this map could never work in this way. But I have some hope that a Kantonal / confederate system could prevail if there was a collapse in European nation states. Switzerland, if it still exists at that point, could serve as an example that has proven itself stable since 1847. While that doesn’t match the age of the US system, it’s still older than most continuous European republics.

> Mail in ballots have been the status quo in many states for decades.

Let’s focus on the battle ground states - not all states - and let’s specifically look at PA for a moment. Because of the electoral college, the statement that nationwide and some states we have used mail in ballots before is irrelevant.

So in 2018 PA had 200k absentee ballots - the mail-in ballot process [0].

In 2016 PA, and specifically Philly, had fewer absentee ballots requested than 2008 or 2012 [1] with around 18k for that metro.

In 2020, 2.6 million mail in ballots were requested 3 weeks before the election [2].

So you tell me, what really looks like the status quo? 2.6m ballots or around 200k. Physics would call this an order or magnitude difference, no? That would directly contradict that mail in ballots for PA are a status quo... and if you looked at the rest of the battle ground states, you will find similar evidence that mail in was never the preferred or dominate form of voting in the metros and battle ground counties.

FYI, while legally evictions are supposed to go through the courts, land lords regularly find illegal or quasi legal means to evict tenants quickly. This covers the range from negotiating with their tenants (which is fine), to finding process servers who are corrupt and make sure the tenants miss their court date, to simply removing the front door so that the tenants have no physical security and have to leave.

Can you elaborate a little on what you originally thought the title meant?

Because I thought it meant that banks would be able to monitor/lock your phone, which they would presumably use as a prerequisite for installing their banking app. Basically millions of people who have no other way to remotely access banking services being forced to have their most personal details monitored by large financial institutions and allow those institutions to cut them off from their phones.

Then it seems that it means that if you buy something on an installment plan and stop paying, you lose the ability to use it to the full extent.

We can make an argument about a phone being necessary in the modern world, but the second scenario seems much less Orwellian than the first.

This implies to me, that you may have had a very different interpretation of the title, and I'm curious what it was.
Tell me this: When Trump riled up his supporters to chant "send them back" when referring to the American congresswomen known as "the squad", was it racist or not?
