I went to my local home computer club when I was around 12 to soak up information beginning of the 80s; there were all these guys (only guys) there much older than me who knew everything and liked helping a kid who, by then, knew how to program basic, asm + pascal. They taught me eprom programming so I could swap out the basic rom, programming BBS software (I wrote a few BBS systems for myself after that; I had hosted a BBS since age 10 and it was always cool to have different features etc than the rest) and making cartridges for all kinds of purpose.

Before that I got most from magazines & books; my grandparents took me to fire sales (lot of magazines there) and 'rubbish sellers' (not sure of the english word), for instance, Phillips had a quarterly 'dump' sale under the football stadium; all kinds of electronics, books etc could be had there for next to nothing (money earned with strawberry picking in the summer went to those places). I bought scopes, ham radios etc and documentation there. And my father got me books that were damaged from work (mostly C, Pascal, later Clipper and other things).

Hey! Its me, minus the girlfriend, job, and career history :(.

Sorry to hear about your gf tho
I don’t agree. We need certifications for people who handle the data and better training. We should also require basic things like hashing passwords and having clouds where it is much harder to put data in public buckets.

All it takes is one junior employee to make a mistake one day copying a file.
Don't put too much effort into your resume, it's the key to pass the first gate nothing more.
I think I get pretty bummed out at times, but I don't think I'm depressed. Just stressed out, low self esteem, imposter syndrome, and I'm sure plenty of other problems.
My experience has been that it’s a lot more gatekeeping than networking to the extent that I’ve seen banks move away from requiring it.
Incorrect - zoom exposed a serious vulnerability, and Apple shut it down, using another mechanism but nonetheless the same effect.

It’s relevant because you argue that there is no value to having the ability to do this.

It is also a problem which occurred every time the app was launched. Something you have dismissed as a non problem.

Love the articles. I definitely want to spend a bit more time with it. The section on the sense amp was great.

But one thing I was left wondering was how was the refresh managed?

Was it just the act the reading/writing had the side effect of refreshing? Therefore the memory controller had to keep track of when & what was accessed?
Is it racist or anti-anglo to criticize evangelical control over US affairs? Why is christian influence over the government fair game but not jewish? Just as not all christians are complicit, neither are all jews. It doesn't mean there aren't jewish forces trying to influence the government.

Yes, but it's more likely a narrative that gained traction because supporting Israel happened to also align with US interests, rather than the cause of that support.
Meta note: 4819 votes on the poll and 152 points on HN. I'm surprised that only 3% of people that vote on the poll are upvoting the story.
Converting between different grid frequencies would need a rectifier/inverter or rotary converter - and one that can handle high power (1200W+ sustained) as well. That's quite a bit of equipment to run just a microwave...

Edit: Looks like units capable of dealing with these kinds of power specs run for around $2300 USD, e.g. http://www.gohz.com/2kva-frequency-converter
Make your workout sessions a commitment with someone else. If you know someone else who also wishes they were exercising, contact them to arrange a time once a week, or more, to work out 'together'. Even now, you can do socially distanced outside in the same place, or video calling from your house to chat/ check form/be present, or do either at a gym if they are open.

If you don't know/don't want to involve anyone else, you can also pay a personal trainer to do this.
Millions of people die from diseases like malaria and HIV every year. Wallowing around in self pity because of COVID-19 is not going to change a thing.

Life has been getting better every year I have been alive. Billions of people have been moved out of extreme poverty and the average person lives a easier and safer life than almost anyone in history - I would rather be a poor man today than a king of the past.
> The stock market has grown significantly while demand for energy has widely declined in the last five months. Every energy long bet has been a disaster.

The stock market isn't backward looking, or even short term future looking. Note that someone only watching the S&P 500 would know that the coronavirus broke out in early March but probably think the situation had been completely resolved by August. We can't be sure what the stock market thinks it is seeing (or if it is right for that matter).

And if energy bets didn't turn out well, notice that that correlates to the US losing its position as the world's largest economy. China invested a bunch in energy and now have a noticeably bigger economy [0].

> Economic growth may not be able to continue indefinitely, it’s inconclusive, your computers can create more economic value with declining watts even if you can’t.

This growth isn't going to involve more people because they need food and isn't going to involve more stuff because that needs energy. It'll be a very abstract form of growth.

The need to setup bridges negates the privacy benefits, it breaks the opportunistic E2EE when copies of all messages are sent to e.g. Telegram servers that stores them effectively in plaintext. When the main goal is to invite people to some platform, bridges are a shortcut to allow some people to join, but until everyone joins and the bridge can be removed, there's no improvement.

Interestingly, people don't really consider the privacy aspect. Average users claim they don't want another messaging app, but somehow they find the willpower to jump from facebook to instagram to snapchat to tiktok to wine to telegram to periscope to kik.

My peers use have an inside joke of "stickers > human rights" which describes what motivates people. Matrix or be it any other client, needs an exclusive throw-in feature that appeals to masses, basically something that combines sharing everything like they used to on social media, something that feeds their narcissism (likes etc.), and something that's fun (think tiktok videos). Signal doesn't have it, at least yet. Matrix most certainly doesn't have it. Telegram has some of it.

The usability needs to be intuitive and thought thoroughly, and it needs to make managing (social) life easier. We've already seen this with personal could in e.g. Signal's "note to self", or Telegram's polls -feature (I'm hesitant to consider it a feature since it's inherently non-private method to share opinions to Telegram developers about something: group chats are never E2EE).

My perception of Matrix is that it fails to deliver the stuff listed above, as well as life management, ease of use, moving responsibility of hosting to some trusted peer, and even security agility and default security feel off. The only thing that makes Matrix stand out is the ideological "decentralization means no individual has control over communication" which doesn't resonate with privacy-minded users who care about E2EE-by-default-for-everything, nor to average users who don't hesitate for a second to jump from TikTok to FlobbordSocial that allows them to share videos of their Plumbus X if it gives them social acceptance and likes, i.e. dopamine spikes. These people consider apps fads that come and go, they don't really consider long-term availability because they're always looking for the new shiny thing to fill their internal void. They know they can always call/text/whatsapp their friends if Flobbord suddenly seizes to exist.
Please don't take either down. Please make an exception. It isn't like a normal article post, and sure you don't want this to become a trend, but damn we're also in a mental health crisis as a society right now, and meaningful conversations are going on in the comments of both of these posts.

This isn't a mental health community, but these posts happened and got their upvotes and that shows there's a group of HN readers right now for whom this is as important as anything else they might find on HN. It could be there's folks who can't or won't see what they need to see to help themselves outside of the serendipity of HN happening to bubble them up to the front page.

That’s rough, sorry to hear that. You’ve been hanging in there, despite these very trying times, and managed to get a job. Keep it up. Keep hanging in there, things will get better.
You are correct that GP's statement is wrong. But research from 2011 showed that this may be largely due the fact that students going into Ivy League schools are more likely to be high achieving in the first place. [1]

> What they found was that two students with similar backgrounds, grades and test scores who applied to the same mix of selective and nonselective schools earned about the same later on, even if the first attended a selective school and the second didn’t. The choice of schools applied to was indicative of ambition which, they argue, is a more powerful driver of success than the school they attend. “The return to college selectivity [is] indistinguishable from zero,” they wrote in 2011.

However, researchers noted that for certain students, going to a more elite school did generate greater returns.

> focusing only on the benefits to the wealthy may miss the full picture. Ms. Dale and Mr. Krueger found that African-American and Hispanic students, and those whose parents didn’t go to college, actually did enjoy an income boost from a selective college, perhaps, the researchers said, owing to networking opportunities they otherwise wouldn’t have had.

It must be tough to work in an industry where your livelihood depends on an entity which you have no meaningful relationship with.

Amazon sellers, Youtube vloggers, Twitch streamers, Instagram dropshippers, etc etc. You can run those businesses on other platforms, like eBay and Vimeo, but they will almost certainly fail if you do.

But if you don't, you might wake up one morning without a business. Too stressful for me: maybe a start would be expecting contracts rather than EULAs for people who pay 3rd-parties to run a business on their platform.
Who said anything about cutting GPU performance?

Also your comparisons are quite poor... 2600 shouldn't even be in the running here, the 3070 would be held back from doing the thing it does best, high FPS 1440p (in actual games mind you, not just CS:GO)
"Someone did something unethical, and we can probably benefit from it.

And since people will probably do the unethical thing again, and the system which enabled people to do the unethical thing isn't perfect, we don't even really need to worry about whether using that to our benefit is unethical.

In fact, it's been years since we really needed to worry about that sort of thing anyway.

Isn't it just easier to ignore our personal responsibility to try to do the right thing in this situation?"
I'm assuming your use case doesn't require that much compute power so maybe you could use an old Mac just for work stuff and a Linux machine for everything else?
Ah, so we’re a 6.5 for 7 match on those (I guess all of our visas to the universe are temporary).

I would add Earth/nature/life, music/art/knowledge, and consciousness/existence to the list. These are almost universally appreciated things, regardless of material situation.

My mind could be playing tricks on me but my sense is that there is a surge in DMCA takedown requests. Has anyone seen anything that might explain the trend?
The Left is cannibalising itself. The Right does not seem to have that problem.

The Right is conservative, it moves slowly. The Left finds something new every week to attack people on. I would say for anyone who supports the Right demonizing seems to work.

Although I'm not sure how this Fox News is too Left wing push will play out.

But a place without the Left might be quite nice. At some point we need to decide, it's been 100 years of human death and environmental destruction from the Left. Do we really want to still hang with them? The Right are not good people but they are the best we have.

I'd love Parler to work. But I'll repeat, the arts is with the Left, I don't want to lose that. Parler just won't work.

From what I've read the transition from Clinton to Bush was shortened due to the issues of the recount in Florida. I don't think any fair-minded individual would argue that the circumstances are similar for the 2020 election.

How to build a blog with NextJS and TakeShape
Just to geek out, a fun fact about why one often feels like depression will last forever is due to memory compartmentalization.

To most anyone thoughts that pop up in our head come out of a black hole, an unknown. What's actually happening is we're seeing something in the present moment (thinking memories in the present moment too) and that thing we're seeing causes an emotional response, often an unconscious one. The unconscious mind then looks for neighboring memories by emotional lookup and brings those familiar memories up into conscious thought, which is how ideas pop up in our head.

This is a pretty profound insight, because for example, it means when one is in a depressed state, if it is strong enough, all they can remember is memories of being in a similar emotional state causing a memory compartmentalization. This forgetting of positive memories makes depression seem like it's forever. One helpful thing is a photo of a good memory, or a letter to ones self, or another form of nostalgia, which can then pull the person out of the depressed episode. For some people it's enough to end the depression then and there in its tracks.

Likewise, from this understanding, it can be easy to see the challenge therapists face regarding depression and other memory compartmentalization related psychological disorders, because their patient forgets instructions that could help them when they need it most.

This also shows how manipulation works. How, emotional language can determine how a person thinks, programming them. One fun experiment is to watch a bit of Fox and look at the emotions instead of what they're directly saying. You'll start to see things like they're telling people to not trust others, for example, or like how they were saying anything regarding Biden is boring, so you shouldn't watch it, and so on. Manipulation is controversial to talk about, but so is depression, so fuck it. Let's have some fun. ^_^
I am not trying to be dismissive, I understand missing people, but why can't you support people around you in a remote environment?

You can pair with someone, or have informal chats, or plan some online game with your colleagues, have presentations in your team around work or non-work related things, setup a book club.

It is harder and not as good as in-person interaction, but maybe you can get some good out of it.

EDIT: sorry, I am re-reading this and please be assured my intent is not to say you're "wrong", but just to offer some minor remediation ideas that might be helpful.
Perhaps, but the information paradox itself is a result of theoretical models, not data.
> So if an emergency came up (and I was still employed) I would just save a smaller % of it.

i mean that's not really an emergency.

An emergency is one such that if you weren't prepared for it, you can't handle it. For example, losing one's job can be considered an emergency (a short one, if you're in high demand).

A medical emergency is a good example of an emergency - to which you prepare for by purchasing insurance.

So by saying that a person's portfolio would perform better by ditching the emergency fund is just the same as saying 'take on more risk and get more return'.
The title should be “all driver licenses data in Texas”. Texas population is close to that number. It is not limited to that one insurance provider. They had a copy of the data for entire state!

Yes, agreed.

Sure, it is not a meaningful diagnostic tool or method to collect a representative sample from HN, but it is sparking meaningful conversation, so I hope Dang does not remove it based on the merits of its survey design.

I see you concede that there was no lie of omission.

You just disagree with him, but are engaging in ad hominem rather than engaging with his points.
Term limits are a terrible idea. They reduce the power and expertise of elected representatives in favor of the permanent government, civil service and lobbyists. On top of that they encourage corrupt behavior as you know you’re not getting elected so there is no reason not to beyond the threat of legal consequences.

> Disentangling Accountability and Competence in Elections: Evidence from U.S. Term Limits

> We exploit variation in U.S. gubernatorial term limits across states and time to empirically estimate two separate effects of elections on government performance. Holding tenure in office constant, differences in performance by reelection-eligible and term-limited incumbents identify an accountability effect: reelection-eligible governors have greater incentives to exert costly effort on behalf of voters. Holding term-limit status constant, differences in performance by incumbents in different terms identify a competence effect: later-term incumbents are more likely to be competent both because they have survived reelection and because they have experience in office. We show that economic growth is higher and taxes, spending, and borrowing costs are lower under reelection- eligible incumbents than under term-limited incumbents (accountability), and under reelected incumbents than under first-term incumbents (competence), all else equal. In addition to improving our understanding of the role of elections in representative democracy, these findings resolve an empirical puzzle about the disappearance of the effect of term limits on gubernatorial performance over time.

Coronavirus: Elon Musk 'likely has moderate case'
> You can't 'think away' the additional complexity of lifetimes and the borrow checker though

Of course you can't. But the problem of lifetimes does not go away, not matter if you use statical or dynamic typing. However, in javascript this problem does not exist, so obviously that can't be compared to Rust. If you use Rust, then because you _need_ this for performance.

> In my opinion, Java without type inference is fine

Fair enough, but most people see that very different, hence the unhappiness.

> Eh, Rust traits are better than Java's interfaces, but you can implement multiple interfaces for your own objects in Java without any wrappers. The issue is extending external objects to support new interfaces.

That's exactly what I said or at least meant. :)

> The error messages for Rust can be much more complex than Java

No no, not the error messages that the rust compiler gives you. I'm talking about error handling that the developer does.

> I would say the benefits of Java's type system far outweigh the imperfections and tiny costs when compared to a language like JS.

I agree, but just because the benefits outweight the problems, that doesn't mean people will be frustrated by these problematic parts. And let's not call it imperfections. Java is _so_ far away from perfection, that just gives your post a sarcastic touch.
Keen looks more discovery based collaboration too. SeeLink is more about sharing important links with teams, friends, or family. Thanks for taking the time to comment!

It's not just you. In the last month:

- youtube-dl targeted by RIAA

- widevine decryption targeted by Google

- Google drops Google Play Music, which allowed custom uploads

- increase in Twitch takedowns

The RIAA seems to be emboldened. Google is singing to their tune, and now they're trying to get Amazon to do the same.
