The Supreme Court is not a political rubber stamp for their party, as Gorsuch and even Kavanaugh have shown. They've never been that, and the idea that they'd become that for Donald Trump seems pretty implausible. They rule on questions of law, and they rule based on their legal philosophies. Yes, you see the reasoning look a bit motivated sometimes (looking at you, Alito and Breyer), but the idea that these are people who will throw away their credibility and careers to abet a coup? Naaaah.

They'd have a hard enough time going after gay marriage -- I'd bet Gorsuch and Kavanaugh would vote to uphold Obergefell today if they heard it, and we already know Roberts' vote.
Military and provisional ballots don't need to be mailed (I received mine by email). Perhaps the system requires a "date mailed" entry and they just arbitrarily enter the current date when they process them, to satisfy the system? Pure speculation on my part though.

If you mean purchase something you cannot buy in your state, that's not true. Interstate handgun purchases are completely banned and long guns can only be sold if the sale complies with both state laws.

All of those things mentioned in the original reply is vague, and can only come from having experience in the subject matter.

> Never let it be said that shame isn't an effective tool.

This is true, but at the same time I think shame as a motivator is often really unhealthy. People can do all kinds of terrible things to avoid shame: at the extremes, witness things like family annihilators or so-called “honor killings”.

I’ve been reading a book about Midway lately so this is on the brain, but a culture of shame is part of the complex that prevented the Japanese from reeling in insubordinate but “patriotic” junior officers, and from realistically assessing their own and their opponents’ capabilities. Meanwhile the modern process for evaluating air accidents (constantly applauded on HN) explicitly removes the question of blame and shame.

So, I’m not really saying anything about Rice university. I’m sure they don’t have to worry about honor killings on campus. This has just been on my mind lately. Just saying that without social release valves for shame you can get some really wild consequences.

PS for anyone interested in Midway, read Shattered Sword for everything you ever wanted to know about early-war Japanese flight deck operations.
Really? iTunes was not a streaming service.

3G is already in the process of being shut down.

Which makes it a little annoying how long they kept making phones that had 4G support but still depended on 3G for calls. Still, it seems like we're on track to get those bands reclaimed at a significantly better pace than 2G.
I've tried to do a write up (for the third time, counting this post to HN) and I've also submitted it to HN, though it probably also won't get traction. Here is the direct link:

And maybe what needs to happen is not so much "sticky this" as just learn that what non-coders really need to hear somehow is "You just submit a pull request for that. Takes like five minutes." and not "We are friendly! Come join our email list!"

Because I'm not averse to reading all that stuff. But if you have to do three hours of reading before you can submit "you have a typo," that is going to drive people away. If I can tell you "You have a typo" and get that approved and it's a positive experience, then I have more motive to start learning about conventions and so forth.

Haha, I know the feeling right? It's amazing to work on a project that either saves or brings in millions of dollars to multiple companies, but none of them are willing to support or hire any of the developers, because they don't want to pay for something as long as they can get it for free, which of course makes total sense.

You're right that the purchase was a choice, but we already have laws pertaining to fitness, minimum warranties, safety, etc. Without a method of looking into the future to know that a product will be bricked by the maker in a year or two, the next best safeguard is minimums for viability set by law.
Yep. People seem to think that more lockdown = worse economy. NZ shows the relationship isn't so simple. A stricter lockdown seemed to work better from both a health perspective and an economic perspective.
The problem was not exercise but malnutrition. It was a question of enjoying enough food vs. having, as Piers Plowman put it,

Can someone help me to understand all of the pessimism surrounding plant-based meat?

Of all of the morally-dubious technologies in the world today, this seems like a force of unequivocal good, and yet the criticism is endless: "it's not healthier", "the name sucks", "it'll give you cancer".

All of these just seem to be missing the point that it's _no worse than meat_ in most respects, and _way better_ in others (i.e. ethical and environmental impact).
You can’t get intelligently conversant about a thing without having the key bits in your mind, you’re right. But you don’t need to have as much memorized as we’re were tested on when I was in school (90s-early 2000s). And you need a lot more than just memorization to reach real understanding.

Every few years I need the quadratic formula for something, and I just derive the thing instead of remembering or looking it up. I’ve essentially traded some memorization for some understanding. We’re surely going to do it wrong, so I’d err on the side of too much understanding and too little memorizing. If you have a real feel for how a thing works, it’ll stick with you longer than the date of such and such battle.
Whenever I try to pick just one category, "all" is picked as well? It's confusing.
I'd say there's a 1% chance that would result in companies grinding their operations to a halt until their vendors make open source drivers, and a 99% chance that they'd find immediate workarounds, like renting you the box instead of selling it.
By law, H1-B (which leads to the green card) can only be given for jobs for which they cannot find an American to do the job, regardless of salary.

There are plenty of Americans that can program computers, yet they are hiring a lot of people with H1-B, not because of special skills which is the intent of the law, but simply because they can program computers.

Most of the English soldiers who killed knights at Agincourt were longbowmen shooting from a distance and protected by both terrain and a line of sharpened stakes that prevented the French cavalry from charging them. That is not the kind of direct confrontation that the article is talking about.

They clearly have gotten people to sign up, they are 2nd in the market and only 12% behind Spotify. That's against an incumbent with a free tier that Apple doesn't have.

I also wonder too what Apple's marketshare is on iPhones - I'm sure it is a higher percent.

No. It's not automatic. But my wife has a much better chance against a 250lb 6ft man with one than without one.
Memorization is absolutely crucial to getting good at math. In fact, I don't think there's any other way to get good at math besides memorization and doing problems, over and over and over again. It's rote, sure, but it has tremendous value.

If you think you understand something, but can't actually solve problems without referencing anything, you don't actually understand it.
There's a lot of the mentality of OSS where the project creator releases it permissively, and is fine with many little guys (who otherwise wouldn't have paid for an equivalent library) using it. Then as they get traction, a big company who _could_ afford to pay also benefits from said project, and the creator is whinging that they don't get paid by the big company - with the reason that the company _could_ pay, that's why they should.

I don't really care. I'm not even going to read your link.

The reason I don't care is because I remain dirt poor and I've spent years trying to figure out how to earn an adequate income legitimately while being called a "whiner" and told to shut up about my financial problems and all this crap and it has a long history of making me feel suicidal.

So if you have someone "doing good works" -- like contributing for free to open source -- who cannot figure out how to make ends meet and the entire world is happy to use their stuff for free while not giving a rat's ass about their lack of an income, that alone can drive you crazy.

So I just don't care. At all. Who set the fire is of zero importance to me and has no bearing whatsoever on the fact that "We have systemic issues that we need to address."
It was at a distance at first, but towards the end of the battle the longbowmen gradually advanced into point-blank range and then, as they ran out of arrows, switched to whatever melee weapons they had to mob the incapacitated French men-at-arms and knights.

Though it's certainly true that the historical English longbowman wasn't the usual 'peasant' stereotype, given that they were generally landowners (rather than tenant farmers) and were actually legally required to take a certain amount of regular practice weekly with the bow.
And the real world penalizes people for that, for good reason. As such, I don't think there's anything wrong with time pressure on tests.
24 was perhaps a bad number to choose, since I read that as 24 hours - which seemed a bit hasty. They could have written "November 9, 2022" or "two years" which seems further into the future.
How about because I don't care about it that much? Sometimes good food involves suffering. I'm glad we're at the top of the food chain. I'm not about to give up my steak, I'm not about to give up my cheese, I'm certainly not about to give up my foie gras.

I don't think we should go out of our way to hurt animals (for example intensive chicken production where you have overcrowded operations where chickens stay in the dark, etc, should be outlawed), but if I want to eat it I'll eat it. The cow need not consent, because it's my food.

Fundamentally it's simply not a moral issue to me, it's a gastronomic one. I believe most people agree with me. Vegans are so incredibly out of touch.

I really hate Apple's spammy advertising; it seriously damages the user experience (not to mention Apple's reputation and brand) for no good reason.

Obviously spammy and obnoxious advertising works to some extent or companies wouldn't do it - but user goodwill takes years to build up and probably shouldn't be sacrificed on the altar of short-term monetization.

If Apple's services are actually good, then users shouldn't need to be spammed with obnoxious alerts and preinstalled adware. It should simply be an optional (and opt-in) add-on that's included in the box like a "free" code for a year of service if you want - and I think they do that already for Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade. If it's worth it, people will renew. Word of mouth and regular non-spammy advertising should do the rest.
The 100%-refund-law approach could be interesting if insurance companies could be convinced to offer companies coverage for this scenario. It would set up a feedback loop where high premiums would incentivize companies to make their devices less likely to become inoperable.

I favor less onerous laws, myself. I think a big problem is that people are generally unaware of how dependent their tech is on company whims. A legally-mandated "ingredients list" or "smoker's warning" note detailing all service dependencies (and associated "stability score?") might help raise awareness.

My friend recently got a $6000 laser cutter that has a hard cloud dependency to do anything at all. It's all through their cloud interface. That thing scares the heck out of me. Just the other day it failed and just getting the error logs required a round-trip to support. It was just a dirty sensor. It constantly advertises its "premium" features and interrupts your workflow if the wifi is spotty (often the case in an industrial shop). I bet the machine will be a paperweight in 5 years, and require either wholesale replacement or a controller retrofit. In the meantime, I guarantee my offline CNC mill will be functional until it suffers some catastrophic hardware failure. Since it supports industry-standard protocols, I can use any of a hundred different software packages to run it, including several open-source ones. Unlike that laser cutter.
Thanks for the summary, I must have missed that.
> lazy knight

That might be possible, but is it likely? A knight is basically a medieval super-soldier: an individual with a huge amount of ongoing personal+state investment going into their ability to project power on the field.

Even if they're also a feudal lord who lives within their own holdings (and therefore someone who's not beholden to anyone around them, only to a distant king) everyone working for them is putting a lot of work into keeping the knight's equipment, their horse, etc. maintained and ready to go.

Wouldn't those same people push the knight themselves — for their own sakes! — to stay fit, as another kind of "maintenance"? Wouldn't there be mass resentment within a lazy knight's power structure, that would lead to said power structure toppling or mutiny-ing?

Pretty much the entire body of genetic IQ studies over the last 30-some years have been consistent on this, so asking for "the studies" on this is like asking for "the books" on calculus. Take your pick! Here is an example: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4270739/

Their Apple TV+,or whatever its called, the competitor to Netflix, is underwhelming.

In India, it costs about 2 USD a month. It has tied up with various regional media houses to cater their content,but the catch is you have to pay them additional monthly charges, to access them through Apples service.

Their originals are quite few. For a company that has so deep pockets, one would have expected atleast a few months worth of shows to watch while their catalog is refreshed. Disappointing.

Apple Music, while good, is just one of the competitors. Amazon Prime music and Spotify and a few others, are equally good. Music content, in a world where streaming is fast becoming the norm, will eventually spread to all services. So eventually Apple Music becomes a commodity, competing only on price. Something Apple never does. And content exclusivity aint gonna work with the biggest names. Lady Gaga sure as hell wont agree to stream her songs exclusively on Apple.

The only strength is a large base and integration with existing services, but in that case too, the profit margins are not as great as hardware.

Many if not most large cities already have this or something like it.

Also, I think your implicit assumption is incorrect (that the police typically don’t have the individual‘s safety in mind, or that they only have the general public’s safety in mind).
I remember that debacle. I suppose there is a parallel, but with the Pixel 5, it still is very usable with almost zero adjustment, nothing convoluted like changing how you hold an iPhone to avoid shorting the antenna.
Fork-join and dataflow models are parallel computing solutions.

Are you suggesting that one should strive to solve concurrency problems with parallel computing approaches?
Litter pickup. No one else is going out and picking up litter with a grabber and a bag unless they're in trouble or it's their job, which is rare apparently. Just go out and start cleaning. Besides becoming a volunteer fire fighter, or some other full time volunteer position, I think litter collection and disposal is something that will help the neighborhood.

Delayed syncing is not the same as "avoiding concurrency altogether" or having data be 'less correct'. Those aren't even simplifications for relaxing the latency of synchronization, they aren't correct descriptions at all.

if you're hiring a car driver, then yes, the driver doesn't need to know the innards of how an engine would work.

I should add that I got excited for a moment at the thought of some one-stop shop for sales and marketing for software devs building a product.

But no, just packaging and delivery. Which is cool, and probably useful for some people. But it doesn't help address the biggest weak spot for solo devs, or small teams: sales and marketing.

I only skimmed this but I'm curious if this also kills the need for a voice actor or if it requires sample voice data from a native speaker to sound good (i.e. is it training from a corpus of attempts of the original actor trying to speak that language or does it just need some samples of different phonemes to train from?).

I meant conflict with staff time.

At small schools, you're probably going to only have 1-3 members of staff qualified to train students (qualified is a very loose term here).

I suppose I could be mistaken about staffing conflicts. My small school didn't have a pool, so there really wasn't anything resembling any sort of water based sports (unless you just wanted to swim in a lake).
