Yes dining alone, especially on business travel. I just want to eat my entree and go to the hotel. Dining with a group is totally fine as an experience. Dining with a partner is still a bit of a wait if it's someone you're very familiar with. I'd rather have a 1:1 conversation in a quiet private place with a coffee or drink.
Prestige is not what you make or where you work..but who you know and what they will do for you when you ask for a favour.

Even better..who will approach you for a favour.
A: Power corrupts - is not a joke. Reelection doesn't prevent corruption at all. It's a complete non-factor.

B: Elected officials are supposed to be the overseeing representatives, rather than functional executives.(think board vs C-suite). Elected executive is overall a poor idea.
I think the majority of people (including myself) have never actually adjusted a microwave from full power. I imagine it would do a lot better at defrosting meat without drying out the outside.
Yeah Trump banned biodegradable alternatives, and made a coal subsidy.
You can always fashion a monopoly by adding “they have a monopoly on X on their own product” for any proprietary hardware or software vendor. If you want to argue that proprietary hardware or software shouldn’t be allowed then do that, but don’t try to tie it to monopoly. It has little to do with either the legal or economic implications usually associated with that word.
Even after 100 years of the same idiotic logical fallacy the population bomb myth will not die. How many times do these theories have to be shown to be total nonsense before people get it.

Absolutely incredible how we are still dealing with this nonsense.
I think the argument was that it’s easier to grasp a thin support, so the pea needs less accuracy.

It wasn’t spelled out in the article or its reference, from what I could tell.
A win that could have happened with better domestic policy rather than expending the lives of military personnel and civilians.
It's hard to track down. They could just write down your credit card number, name, expiration, and security code. Then use it a month later, at which point you have already been to several restaurants and handed people your card many times. And you don't know if the card was taken in some other way like a online retail hack.
Or worse, tipping before the service is rendered, which is becoming increasingly common with ordering food for both self-pick-up and delivery.
I empathize with the isolated rats in the university of Texas study on isolation and addiction https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/01/130123165040.h.... I’m not abusing substances, but I can tell that my isolated brain is acting differently than it does when I had daily social interactions in person.
Just some experiences of mine, I had been really stressful when trying to get a job, long time ago. And eventually I started the jogging at the time. To me, it's like sort of hedge, if I got my job later, I got a heathier body due to more work out. In other words, the destiny is not going to screw me up on both sides :)

Actually, I kept on jogging even after I got the job later, I don't know why but that does make you feel a bit better about life.
That is nice for you. I hope you never have to experience something so awful, which can effect someone without their control no matter how much their current circumstances might seem positive.

On "easier & safer", I'm not sure the metric you'd use for safer. As for easier, millions of people have lost their jobs, millions more have their lives in upheaval as they are left to figure out difficult tradeoffs while watching their children descend into loneliness & poorer quality education through the massive disruptions in their lives.

I am glad that you and, apparently, your social circles are going through a particularly good time at the moment. It's heartening to know that not everyone is losing out in the current circumstances.
Signal is one of the few good ones that show promise. They manage to deliver usable features. One fantastic thing is extremely picky userbase that's nagging about small details in the community forum.

The developers seem to really get average users, and the commitment to privacy over feature adoption schedule means every feature is as polished as the latest cryptographic design allows it to be. This means every feature is an actual feature that gives more power to the users.

Sure, there's stuff that indeed needs improvement, like usernames and registration without phone numbers, but once those come, it's likely to be polished enough not to require sudden knee-jerk patches like adding Google Captchas because a billion cryptocurrency scambots suddenly started spamming everyone, and there was no private Captcha alternative available.

I love that Signal doesn't consider privacy an individual feature (like Telegram Secret Chats) or Matrix opt-in E2EE (something that was the case at least in the past). Everything is E2EE, it's an integral property of every feature, there's no risk of downgrade attacks because the codebase never contained a non-E2EE implementation of some feature in the first place.

When working with TFC, I wanted the same with advanced properties like Onion Service based anonymity for everything, as well as endpoint security against key exfiltration, which I knew meant almost non-existent userbase due to the architectural design that requires custom HW data diode etc. I consider myself in a privileged position, I didn't have to consider every average user and that was almost exclusively due to the fact there was already a usable solution for networked TCBs, i.e. Signal, and a usable anonymity solution for networked TCBs (Ricochet and later Briar and soon cwtch.im). So I'm glad I didn't have to reinvent the wheel. Signal, Briar and Cwtch are _the_ interesting platforms. Signal is slowly taking over Telegram in terms of usability, while Briar is experimenting with an incredibly fascinating stuff like blogs and forums hosted on your personal devices' Onion Service. You could theoretically run a clone of any social media platform page for yourself from your phone, once average phones are fast enough and use fast enough Internet (5G/Wifi6 etc) to make Tor snappy (enough). Who knows, perhaps by then Signal will also run over Tor.
Prestige is also "legible" in the sense introduced by "Seeing Like a State". It's valuable in eg. socially, if someone sees Harvard/Goldman, they can instantly bucket you in a particular social class, even if they're in a wildly different field and couldn't assess your actual merit. Whether you want to be perceived as a member of that particular social class is a mixed bag which I wont waste space on here, as if you're interested in reading more about it, I'd direct you to literally any issue of The New Yorker.
The problem with the UX is you have to input the type of food you are cooking. Its easier to store the cooking time in your brain than to input the type in a huge list.

Unless the microwave can auto detect what the food is I can't see how this can be fixed.
Depressive symptoms are apparently quite common post-COVID, so this might be contributing further to what is objectively an already terribly stressful situation.

Do reach out to any reliable support you feel you can get to. A lot of university counsellors are apparently not that great, but if you've got a network to help you, use it. Dealing with the pressure of university work plus external stuff can put anyone into a really bad place (speaking from personal experience and the experience of a number of other people I knew from ugrad and grad school).
>For much of the software I use, the answer is no. I don't trust that Apple is acting in my best interests over GNU software, for example, not by a long shot.

Well, this is half-thought though.

First, most people don't use any GNU software or even know what GNU is. And they can and do trust all kinds of BS that they shouldn't (that's how computers get filled with malware crap).

Second, GNU in this context means nothing. GNU is an organization and an assorted set of licenses, not a program, and a program being associated with GNU says nothing about the safety of the program or not. The programs themselves could still be maliciously polluted with malware as have happened time and again, unbeknownst to the authors of the programs and those running the repositories.

>Is our best shot at trusting one another to delegate that trust to a notoriously non-transparent corporation with a laundry list of conflicts of interest, obfuscated closed-source software

Well, if you're against closed-source software you shouldn't be using macOS or Windows in the first place.

>and that's operated out of a country well-known for surveilling its citizens and citizens of other countries?

The latter is a political issue, and best solved at the political level. You don't get out of a surveillance situation just by using different programs, when the whole state apparatus, sites you visit, even ISPs, etc, is used for surveillance.
I read the article and you seem to sidestep all the arguments and facts they present, instead just saying their a brainwashed by propaganda. Not as convincing an argument, sadly.
You won't get any argument from me that those things are bad. They're total rubbish and I'm still pissed that my local member voted for metadata retention and data access laws from the opposition bench. That said, they wouldn't be able to if the majority of Australians didn't trust the government enough. There's been an election since those laws were passed.
>less button presses than smashing your +30 seconds button.

Pressing the same button rapidly 4 times is faster and easier than pressing 3 buttons after reading a menu
Hey Bro, If you want someone to talk/help, please let me know.
this article seems to discount the insane amount of popular votes that Trump actually received, and the impact of COVID. He got 73M votes, compared to 78 for Biden. That's way more than Obama's 69M, the previous record.

I loathe the big orange baby, but would he have lost if the pandemic had not hit? It seems a perfect storm just as much as his election four years ago.

Like many people, the author looks at some things Trump didn't do or fucked up and says "look, he's just really bad at governmrnt" and assumes that would translate into people not voting for him.

But that's not how it works, it takes many, many years of that to convince people that someone is not worth governing after they vote for her/him: people identify with their vote, and it takes a lot to get you to say "well, I suck".
> First, Tom Murphy is confused by what economic growth is. You don't need increased energy consumption for economic growth.

> Economic growth measures the number of ways resources (material and non-material) are used hence resources are like the universe; "finite but unbounded." Tom Murphy is a typical Newtonian in his mindset and this imperial reasoning is so pre-Planck.

> Even in a so-called steady state any substitution from one material to another would seen as a kind of economic growth simply because markets the place more value on the newer item.

> Second. He assume that exponential economic growth is tied to some physical exponential. It is not. What is the basis for the recent exponential growth of physical consumption. It is growing population. It has been shown that energy growth of consumption doesn't increase much beyond 150k dollars. So once population stabilizes the physical growth model switches from exponential to linear. Tom Murphy never makes a linear growth model and thus his short-term peakerism.

Dumps are anaerobic, so I'm not sure anything is biodegradable once earth is layered on top of it.

My understanding is that once something goes into a landfill, it's there for a thousand years or more.
There's always winners and losers. We hope the market provides us with ever improving options, which could be a win for everyone. Some may lose by taking down zombies, but the market overall improves. </overly simplified and probably wrong answer>
I hope this madness will go deeper until everyone will start screaming to how insane this is.
I'm not sure about the specifics, but providing something a lot more "batteries-included" seems to be the idea behind Emacs distributions like Spacemacs and Doom Emacs.

One difficulty is that language-specific tools (language servers, linters... etc) are standalone pieces of software with their own dependencies, requirements... etc. It's hard to bundle together a fully "batteries-included" Emacs without figuring out a way to manage native software and services.

I think this is one place where Nix can be a real advantage: even if you don't care about Nix's reproducibility, it's ability to manage Emacs, Emacs packages and language-specific tools is pretty unparalleled. If I had some more time on my hands, I would try putting together a Nix-based Emacs "distribution" with some easy way to configure which languages you want to work with. Coupled with lsp-mode and language-servers, this has some real potential!
Constitutions are just pieces of paper. If people don't uphold them - they aren't worth the paper...

You could have a constitution that says - everyone is free and we decide how to govern ourselves voluntarily.... And still get a country like Switzerland.
On point — I was getting some resume feedback earlier this week and was given some advice on how my resume should be written and formatted to pass an initial ATS scan. This is all well and good, generally, but I have no formal education background in CS/SWE, which I imagine would immediately disqualify me from any workplace that filters applications in an automated way. If anything, I’d imagine that trying to have the same micro-optimized resume that follows basic online advice may actually be detrimental here.

It’s tough as looking for a job is not super fun, so it’s tempting to try and find some magic bullet solution. I came to the conclusion that I’d rather try and present myself as honestly and effectively as I can and not take 99% of what I see regarding resumes to heart, and try and direct any interested people to my portfolio/work as soon as I can.
I have a Panasonic inverter microwave, and it does solve the problem quite well. The standing waves aren't solved, but the lower continual heating lets the energy conduct in the food without overheating parts.
> My point about significant stock changes is for significant stock changes downwards

My point was a more holistic view. It's great that there is a 95% chance that your stock RSUs will increase. But if there is a 90% chance that within 3 years it's a 15% increase or more, you should rather use the 15% increased figure for calculation instead. And then the risk is much higher because it's not just stock not going down, but stock not going up as quickly as it did before.
This is so true. The sheer administrative/legal effort and expense it takes smaller enterprise software vendors to execute a single sale is crazy. I'd happily offer lower prices if the process was easier.
There was no golden age of the past and the future is what we make it. We can sit around thinking everything is going to shit, or we can get on with making things better. I prefer the later.
Broccoli with Sriracha...Mmmmm
Your comparison to other diseases might be apt if the current pandemic & resulting fallout were replacing one of those other problems. Instead, it is in addition to them. Comparing them as you have done is akin to looking at a horse loaded down with 400lbs of weight on it. Then another 100lbs of weight is added, and the horse whinnies in complaint. And you're saying "Why is the horse complaining? It already had 400 lbs of weight. 100 lbs is less than that, so it shouldn't be an issue."
It's not depression, it's the society tumbling down the hill straight to hell, my friend, and your subconscious understanding of that fact.
> They also found that when they made a cup out of the stuff and filled it with water heated almost to boiling point, the cup remained intact for more than two hours. Though this is not as long as a plastic cup would last (it would survive indefinitely) it is long enough for all practical purposes.

Err, no. A disposable cup that leaks after 2 hours is a horrible product. Disposable cups are at their most useful in the car, and it’s easy for a bit of coffee to be left in a cup for more than a couple of hours.
As a korean myself, I can say that kimchi is not really considered “spicy” to Koreans. It just happens to have chili peppers. When Koreans talk about spicy food, it’s the spiciness level of something like bulldak (spicy chicken) that has a lot more spicy ingredients. In relation to effects on health from eating a lot of spicy food, I don’t think you will find much in studying Koreans. Korean food is notoriously famous for being salty (especially soups that most Koreans eat daily) and a lot of Koreans suffer cardiovascular diseases from high blood pressure because of their diet.

On a side note, it’s really kimchi’s acidity that helps with cleaning palate much like Germans’ sauerkraut or Japanese’ pickled ginger (called “gari”) that you eat with sushi.
There's the other extreme - state above all.
I would say python/javascript is more powerful with polymorphism as it defines polymorphism over everything.

Saying Haskell is more powerful when it comes to compile time guarantees is like saying Haskell is more powerful because it is more restrictive. The guarantee exists because Haskell is not expressive enough allow you to break that guarantee.

I mean yeah. An obese person is more powerful than an olympic athlete because the obese person is better at weighing more.

I honestly don't think most people are using the word in the way you define it. They think Haskell is less restrictive than python/javascript because really they haven't thought about why Haskell is better. Haskell is more restrictive and less expressive and less "powerful" and that is why it is "better."

Case in point your example of highly polymorphic functions as a unique feature.... Completely mistaken given that polymorphism is available on most typed programming languages and that all data structures in untyped languages are polymorphic to each other.
This is so true. I've seen some companies however who allow end user teams to spend a certain budget using their corporate credit cards. But nowadays IT security and privacy restrictions anyway make every damn purchase a 8 month project at least
Same. When I was 18, I already started to experience deteriorated focus and cognition compared to my 13-year-old self. I remember being able recite the names of commands, software projects and libraries with perfect clarity at 13, with a strong ability to connect the dots (for example, if I read a technical concept in one book, I could probably recognize it when I had encountered it a month later). When I was 18 it became worse.

I first discovered it after realizing I was serious confused by two programs with similar names in the middle of an IRC conversation in a FOSS-related channel. The mistake was so embarrassing according to my own standard, I knew both programs and I couldn't even believe I could confuse them, yet in the conversation I was totally blind to the mistake until someone started to question it. It was when I realized and accepted the inevitable. Interestingly, I don't remember feeling sad - I knew the same IRC channel had members who were younger than myself, yet they were able to discuss technical questions with me at the same level, if I was replaced by them, nothing of value in the FOSS community will be lost.
What's your company? I want to sell to you.
The difference is stating that the state of Israel (which does not represent all Jews) is trying to influence the government. Evangelical Christians are a subset of Christians that are widely known to be a key voting block for the republican party.

I don't think it's anti-semetic to criticize Israel. The thing NOT to do is imply that Israel (or the Jews) operate the US like a puppet state. The idea that jews secretly control the peoples of the world is a trope from nazi propaganda and so it is important to carefully state criticisms so as to not imply that.

If the US really were a puppet state, it would be fair to say, but in reality it is rather the reverse. It can be difficult to see that because we do not talk about US imperialism and the neo-colonial goals of the US state security apparatus. As I stated in another comment, Israel lobbies the US for favors and often they are granted because our governments wish to maintain a security relationship. It can be sometimes difficult to thread that needle, but it is possible to do in good faith. The Israel lobby does attack people who make criticisms in good faith though... which is permitted because if people saw Israel as an apartheid state, the US would be pressured to terminate our security relationship.

In summary, this is a complex issue. To be honest, Israel's apartheid behavior and militarism is giving fuel to hate by muddying the waters so much. If they would quit that shit, it would make life a lot easier for every honest person trying to talk about these issues.

This is a myth. Unless you mean something else, an unshielded microwave will heat your skin before it heats your organs, the same way it heats anything else.

Burned down, sure, but there's probably the same risk modifying any AC device.

IF it were such a simple work-around, you'd think that they'd have done it already.

I'm no space engineer, but even I can spot a huge number of problems with going with a cable-counterweight system.
Like I'm going to tell a random website that I'm depressed, and now they have my IP address and browser fingerprint and probably cross-indexed it to my real identity and tomorrow will be selling it to marketers?

Edit: Oops I read your comment backwards. Yeah that is suprising. My guess would be that this has gone viral beyond HN.
Is that a Starbucks / state / US rule? In Australian cafes they make the coffee straight in your reusable cup.
Funny thing that, I used to suffer from heartburn quite a bit, and instead of pepcid ac, or the like, I started eating sriracha on everything ( as I noticed I seemed to never have heartburn after using it in a meal ), no more heartburn... weird right?
Passing the hot potato is incident management 101 for organizations processing personal data with an external service. This happens to public / state agencies of many countries every now and then. Many of these incidents seem to be caused by systems allowing weak passwords.
Am put in mind of this quote:

"All of us have sufficient fortitude to bear the misfortunes of others". Francois de La Rochefoucauld

I see you're On Fire further down in the thread, helpfully whatabouting malaria or something to explain away our current crisis. I don't think most people wake up and immediately start praising their lucky stars that they aren't living during the Black Death or in some war-torn country in Africa. Life still isn't that easy or safe for a lot of people all around the world, and perhaps those of us who aren't psychopathic jackasses can find that depressing even if personally they're doing pretty well.
I find it so strange that when people have such clear indicators of depression, they’re still like “I’m not sure if this is legit depression but...”

I personally got to the point where I was practically fantasizing about dying and still wasn’t sure if that’s real depression. I think we ease into it and forget what being happy was like, such that the depression practically becomes normal. It’s awful
Any recommendations? I have absolutely zero knowledge about this kind of YouTubers.
This is so true. And big corporations push around smaller vendors to have so many compliances, insurance and other certifications in place, whereas larger vendors can get away with insane security and privacy lapses just because of legacy. Makes me mad.
