A fun surprise for me was to take any small-ish country near the equator - eg colombia or the Dem. Rep. Congo - and drag it up to northern Europe. Turns out that many of them are bigger than the entirety of Scandinavia.

Ask HN: Do you love your work but hate your job?
Op, please listen to the advice given here. If your blog post is a reflection of your startup's production stack, I would be very concerned.
It’s the culture.

They’d let the clean clothes get soiled black rather than wash and keep them clean. They’d rather eat stolen food from garbage rather than have to work for a restaurant meal.

My mother was a primary school teacher in a Gipsy village and saw this first hand: small kids being encouraged to beg or steal instead of study by their own parents, abandoning school for the street lifestyle their family lived.

There are exceptions, of course, but the dark attraction of the gipsy culture should not be understated.

As far as I know, no scientist has attempted the genetic modification of human brains for medical benefit so it seems that nearly the whole world is aligned ethically. The whole world generally aligned that testing on non-human primates is OK if the fetus is not brought to term.

There are companies that offer human embryo screening based on intelligence, but this is more selection that modification.

It also conflates donations from employees with that of their employers. There's a big difference between a billionaire like Koch individually spending hundreds of millions of dollars to block climate change, and thousands of individual tech employees donating small amounts of money towards their favorite causes and politicians.
Out of curiosity, do you have an example of what it looks like? (I checked several patches on https://lists.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/sr.ht-dev/patches but couldn't find anything with line-by-line discussion.)

Not all forests, just ones in drier/hotter regions (Canada's boreal forests don't regularly burn, for example).

The forests in the Western USA were purposefully burnt by the inhabitants for thousands of years prior to the ~1950s so I believe we don't know how much or if they relied on fire prior to man inhabiting the Americas.

That a great point about WI/PA/MI - NAFTA was not great for that region in particular.

I do wonder if there’s enough of a bi-partisan coalition (east coast wealthy liberals, west coast states that would benefit, Texas conservatives, etc) to push it. But you’re right that both sides see those states as strategically important and it’s doubtful Biden would want to approve it since that could be poison next election.
It lists file system case sensitivity as a pro, which it isn't. Case sensitivity is the default you get when you don't think about the users, and windows chose the opposite because it's better.
Exactly. They whipped the mob into a frenzy with lies and bullshit so they could use its power to get what they wanted. Then they lost control of it.

It is the loss of control they regret, not whipping it up in the first place.
Hi everyone, did any of you try out R or SPSS under a new M1 Macbook, do either of these work fine under Rosetta 2, as I suppose none has a native ARM version yet.

In addition, did anyone try CorelDraw as well?

I am asking these question, because I think a lot of us working in data science have second thoughts about moving to ARM, at least for the next year or so....
It's interesting you would call the Dem. Rep. of Congo a small-ish country given it's the 11th biggest country on Earth!

Well, step 1 in any scenario where the government is essentially forced to bail out a group if something goes wrong is to force the members of the group to pay for appropriate insurance. Alignment of incentives is essential. People who live in wildfire prone areas should be required to hold adequate fire-related disaster insurance that the government will, on not, not spend money subsidizing their poor decision making. This may make it financially unviable for many of those people to remain in those places, which is good and an intended effect.

An interesting related example is Federal Deposit Insurance. The Great Depression made clear to the Federal government that deposits had to be insured against bank failure or nobody would ever trust banks to hold savings again and the banking system would never recover. So it introduced a mandatory insurance system that all banks would pay into to insure the deposits of any bank that failed.
Very little can be said about COVID-19 that's good but one aspect of it has been very good for me in that the lockdown has been a boon.

Lockdown for me has meant that all the inconveniences of having to deal with people one would prefer not to see or have to deal with as well as having to keep up all the pretence of social 'niceties' - such as having to go to social functions, etc. out of form because that's the expected thing for me to do - all disappeared in one fell swoop. It was wonderful.

To put it bluntly, the isolation was marvellous and I'm not looking foreword to returning to normal one little bit after COVID-19 has gone.

Moreover, I know I'm not alone in holding this view. After equating out necessary and practical inconveniences of not having ready access to certain things due to lockdown, almost everyone who I know had positive things to say about the forced isolation. Only in the last few days I've had two separate phone calls from longstanding friends who've I've not had any contact since February and they both agreed with my sentiments completely. The same goes for others who I have had more recent contact.

This raises what's clearly become a serious issue. Why is it that some people are so troubled by isolation that it's sending them crazy even to the extent of suicide whereas people like me have absolutely no problems with it whatsoever - to the extent that we'll miss it when it's gone? What is it about the character and lifestyle of some people that leaves them content with their own company or that of their immediate family whereas others behave like caged wild animals who must seek the company of many others at any cost?

(I witnessed instances of such behavior earlier year and it put others at risk of catching COVID-19. The fact that the craving of these people to break loose and seek the company of others is so strong that they have complete disregard for the safety of others is, in my opinion, a serious problem. Thus, for the safety of others, we need proper management policies in place well before any future pandemic arrives.)

Moreover, why is it that resilience to life's knocks is so horribly low in modern society when say compared to the people of my parents' generation (those of the depression and WWII era)? I'd note that I'm far from being the first person to notice this trend.

It seems to me the reason may be that in modern society many have never experienced ongoing hardship from a young age and thus have never deveoped any resilience, and or that these days they have much higher expectations and sense of entitlement than was once the norm.

This problem didn't just happen with COVID-19, I noticed this lack of resilience in people with respect to other issues well before the pandemic arrived.

It seems to me that even after COVID-19, society will need to do a great deal of soul searching in respect of these matters.

If they tried allowing the fetus to grow indefinitely would they have to figure out how to make the skull bigger or would the skull naturally grow along with the brain?

My understanding was that human babies have relatively flexible skulls at a young age?
Not the commenter you are responding to, but I would assume if it has not attained sentience then it should not be considered sentient and as such is not a sentient creature.

It has to be, otherwise the abortion debate would be very different. Aborting a somewhat conscious fetus would be much closer to murder.

I encourage anyone feeling depressed here to read the book Feeling Great by Dr. David Burns. Also you can listen to his podcast: https://feelinggood.com/category/dr-davids-blogs/feeling-goo...

His podcasts cover a lot of the book and have some live therapy sessions etc...

If you are in the Bay area he works with a clinic that dos TEAM therapy in Mountain View.

I consider myself an expert in depression and anxiety having had them since I was a teenager. His book Feeling Good helped me. I first picked it up 10-15 years ago and never read it. I finally did read some of it in the past 2 years, but in actuality it has been the podcasts that have really helped.

There's another podcast called "Therapist Uncensored" that is also really great.

I still remember the first time I learned about this. I was watching the West Wing (Season 2 Episode 16[1] which explains the problem pretty quickly) for the first time in the early 2010's and was absolutely blown away that we'd never been taught about this in public school (U.S.A.). Having graduated High School and a couple of years through undergrad, and just then realizing that my entire perception of the relative size, and in some cases position(!), of the continents is basically just wrong. It was actually a generally useful thought exercise though, because it really forced me to confront the fact that I need to consistently reflect on whether my previous assumptions on even basic topics hold true.

I'm not sure it would be worthwhile to advocate for changing the default projection at this point due to the logistics, but at least teaching kids about the issue, which can be covered in no more than a few minutes and is obviously not super complex, just so they're aware of it seems totally worth it!

Australia is 7.69 million square km, and the 6th largest country in the world. That makes it 80.7% as big as the US (inc. Alaska) and 77% as big as Canada.

I haven't read the article yet but if true it logically makes a bit of sense- contact tracing apps need a certain critical mass to be effective. Without enough people in a geographic area using it, you are left with a false sense of security, and may inadvertently take riskier behaviors.

Of course, it might still be helpful to let you affirmatively knoe you have been exposed, as opposed to trusting that you have not, but that might be asking a lot out of society.

They chose not to do this because the more onerous form factor results in amputation of the pilot's viscera and legs.
Saying Ubuntu has telemetry like Windows is shaky at best. Ubuntu asks you whether you want it, doesn't mandate it for people who don't buy enterprise licenses, and doesn't sneak in new kinds of telemetry when you already disabled what's there.

Saying Ubuntu overrides auto-update settings is just false. If you turn off automatic updates, nothing will automatically update.
I don't support what Epic did but whether or not it was justified is irrelevant here. A modification was made to the functionality of your device after the moment of purchase, that remains true regardless. And you could not have foreseen that specific modification to your device unless you worked at Epic and had internal knowledge of their plans.

You effectively need to know what every company in the world is doing to have any real idea what your device is going to be able to do tomorrow. Under those conditions I don't think you can say you were informed when you purchased it.
No, you are conflating fear of the unknown with hate.

Being surprised and even afraid of someone that looks very different from what you are used to is natural in a 3 years old.

Or in an aboriginal that has never seen a person from the other side of the world before.

Fostering hate is a completely different thing.

Especially if someone has the opportunity to learn what racism it, and yet choses to be racist.

I'm from Bulgaria. I doubt that the Government really wants gypsies to become a functional part of society because they're so easy to buy. Gypsies win elections and that's it. There are some nice people which decide to educate themselves though. Definitely not enough to change the general opinion towards the ethnic group.

Objective reasons to prefer anything else over Linux: Security. Linux is now the least secure desktop OS available, with limited sandboxing and no provision for checking binary signatures. It's 2020, the net is a dangerous place, and if you want to avoid malware, signature checks must be done on everything from the bootloader up through the user application code.
Typical doctor bullshit. They don't understand what caused a physical problem, so they blame it on the patients: "it's in your mind".

In this case, I find extremely hard to believe that liver damage, neuropathy, and diabetes can all be caused by any mental effect. Nope, it's something they just don't understand yet.
So basically you don't think the placebo/noncebo effect exists and you don't think doctors are suggesting things based on a concern for your well being. Instead they're making up over a century of studies so they can blame patients for side effects.

This all seems much less likely than you heard something about cholesterol medicine causing muscle pain.

How can one be an originalist and ignore half of the sentence, "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State,"? A law requiring a trigger lock does not infringe on the forming of militia or maintaining the security of a free State.

Conservative judges, including Scalia, generally don't claim that all arms regulation is unconstitutional, they don't claim everyone has a right to own RPGs. I don't like where they draw the lines and don't think they have good reasoning for where they draw them.

Ignoring the issue of which is better, windows isn't even uniform across the OS in its filesystem case-sensitivity. You can insert identical-other-than-case files with some kernel calls and break everything when you try to modify them later with the more common file interfaces.
Joe Rogan entered the chat.
> IMO group chat passed 30 users should revert to public group chats instead of giving you a false sense of privacy.

Whether or not that's a "false" sense of privacy depends on your threat model.

Is your primary threat "What if someone hacks the communication server and leaks our conversations?" (This is something I worry about a lot.)

Is your primary threat "What if someone in our chat is a spy and we're planning crimes?" (This is something I don't worry about, but others might.)

In the first case, E2EE for up to 1000 participants in a group still makes sense.

In the second case, every additional participant is additional liability of government subversion.
A Ukrainian has no problems getting a job in a restaurant kitchen in Kiev, while it's virtually impossible for a Gipsy to get a job in the city, or a flat.

This is not something you can compare.

When no amount of grit, resilience, hard work or effort will give you any result, what would you do to survive?
But that projection would also lead to countries changing shape when dragging them around, would it not?
On currency front, I'd recommend reading up on what happened with the previous reserve currency and see how it was overvalued and ultimately overtaken by US dollar.

As for GDP, technology has always been the reason for American GDP. But today, China has caught up technologically and they still have more than 50% of the country yet to develop. That's how much China has left to grow. The direction is clear.

Once the US dollar is not the reserve, the dollar will devalue fast and all the statistics which show US number 1 will be up for correction. GDP is one of it.
That is a great find, I'm glad someone wrote that :)

Oh wait, VideoLAN is a non-profit? A core developer only mentions that they adapt to what people want, explicitly mentioning streaming and Netflix, not some soon to be announced competitor? A Qt Desktop conference is also hardly the platform to announce a shift of "business model".
