In a similar vein, it seems like at least in the Midwest, Micro Center has completely cornered the computer and parts market in any town where it operates, and the stores are packed to the gills with parts, decent prices, and customers (especially this year it seems).

Total opposite of Frys, or the late CompUSA or Circuit City.

Best Buy isn't packed, but they always have some activity in the locations I frequent, and they also have decent prices and good selection when you need things local.

So, like the media fixating on corona, which has a mortality rate of less than 1% for most age groups, and not the larger economic and educational damage.
Exactly. I keep having to explain this to colleagues. For some stuff, it’s just going to take time.

And I can also envision that certain packages might not get updated, necessitating a fork to patch them for M1.

I’m interested in how homebrew and others will handle that (so official package x chooses not to patch/accept a patch for whatever reason, leading to a fork of package x with a patch applied), presumably to avoid namespace collisions/not giving the user what they want, there could be an error message that states that an ARM64 version doesn’t officially exist but links it to the fork and gives the option to install that instead. And then there could be a flag to always allow linked-replacements if an official patch doesn’t exist.
Well enjoy the discussion. I don't find it disagreeable.

I'd say that as a science of authority the theory is clear to those who seek to benefit from the cultural practice. A hypothesis such as "there is only one God" isn't powerful because it's true in the modern sense of having been through a rigorous scientfic process, it's powerful because it results in greater authority relative to other cultural symbolisms. Religion is a science that tests narratives and symbols and cultural signs for effective ability to leverage and maintain authority.

I don't dispute that modern science generates more factual reality, but I think there's a big question around the idea of truth and belief you raise. Truth and belief are difficult to quantify. I understand that you mean when you say "generate true belief", but it's a philosophically tough position to hold. If I claim that "God is love" you will have an impossible time proving that is not true, or that I don't believe it. You might say "the earth is a sphere" is the more true, scientfic statement, but until you have a lot of definitive context for each statement relative to the believer you don't really know how accurate either is.

I think the argument falls apart further in any attempt to evaluate the value of belief. If 90% of people believe in God but 60% reject climate change, does that make climate change less real? I would say no, but I'm the same token you would have to agree that scientfic speaking it is easier to believe in God than climate change. My question is, what makes God so easy to believe in? I would say one could produce a sound theory about why it's so easy to believe in God, and the folks who made him up were thoroughly versed in that theory. These were the scientific minds of their times.

As I understand it in the classical definition science is a branch of art as art is the more general term.

Where i live businesses who have cameras refuse to point any towards the streets. Reason? The police comes to hassle, you are labelled a snitch and general discomfort. Granted i live in a low/near zero crime area but still, the police isnt nice always and more often its the police at fault and cameras record so yeah.
To be fair, the full book, "Refactoring UI" — from which this article sourced — has a section on color accessibility. To quote from there:

And yet going from 1:1 backed (ostensibly but not ever audited) to 1:0.7 backed it still traded 1:1. That’s my issue with it. The fact that they got caught with their pants 30% down is the least surprising thing ever imo.

In fact as I recall they continued to tell people they were backed 1:1 for many months after the seizure.

> Some one that does well, in a community college, should be transfered into a proper 4 year college. I know a lot of state schools do this, but it should be more common/normalized.

As far as I know, this is radically common. Where are you from that this isn’t common? Most everyone goes to community college as prep for getting a four year degree later or do some particular 2 year program. I rarely meet people who do a two year associates just for the sake of it. (As it usually means very little in the marketplace) Usually the people who quit at two years never really could figure out what they wanted to do. (Which is fine)
Dulles would've been more successful as a circus player, yet the understanding how easily politicians, and generals bought into his utter bullshit is even more unnerving.

If he got to do succeed with it, you can now feel that you have to give gravity to claims of KGB defectors how USSR's influence operators were running circles around USA's political establishment.

Just because you grew up in a country that treated immigrants like shit and shot at them doesn't mean the us can any shitty thing as long as it isn't that bad.

There's so many faulty assumptions here and so much more variety in the paths you can take through life than are proposed in this article.

You have more choices available than either climbing the corporate ladder or sitting on the couch watching Netflix. Neither of those lead to any sort of fulfillment in my opinion, so I don't know why you would limit yourself to those options.

Also the idea that if you don't win the competition and reach the top of the corporate ladder you're doomed to a life of failure and misery is just pure nonsense. By definition, the vast majority of people will not reach the top.

Life is not a constrained game like the Prisoner's Dilemma, you aren't limited to "lie" or "confess", you can also tunnel out with a spoon, bribe the guard, find a loophole in the law, etc, etc. You're only limited by your imagination.

No.

We aren't (and haven't been) talking about political ideals, but hate speech. A website that doesn't take action on hate speech is allowing and condoning hate speech.

> Calling a completely apolitical stance political is sort of like calling Atheism a religion. It's arguably correct but it's really the absence of religion.

We're not talking about apolitical stances like "I like chocolate." We're talking about hate speech, which is implicitly political.

> Also, I think your whiteboard with a swatstika analogy demonstrates the shortsightedness of this sort of "inaction is endorsement" line of thinking. What about a candidate who's family was personally affected by the Holocaust and is so mortified to see the swatstika that they are too uncomfortable to even do anything about it?

Isn't this just even more evidence to suggest that an employee not taking action is an action itself?

What-aboutism is great, but it doesn't really matter in this context, right? "What about a candidate who's blind" etc etc. I defined a hypothetical scenario to prove a point in response to the above hypothetical scenario.

You have the right to shoot a gun, but if you murder someone while shooting it, you're criminally liable. You might accidentally capture someone on run from an abusive ex who works for the police department with access to the video feeds. They already have facial and license plate recognition, why wouldn't the police be using it on the ring feeds as well?

Don't sue the cops, sue the people shooting the video and indiscriminately distributing it.

For a little background, I built a system to share video exactly like this around 1995 in a very popular restaurant I worked at. I also interned at a local ISP, so I had unlimited dial-up and FTP/WWW space for free, so I set up the accounting laptop in the back office with a Snappy video capture device that would take a crappy still image every 10 minutes from the security cams, dial into the ISP on one of the 3 telephone lines, and FTP the image so it would show on the restaurant homepage to let people know how busy it was. It was very common to get shoulder to shoulder crowded, so I figured people would like to know in advance and wait 20 minutes to make everyone's lives easier. This was like 320x200 resolution on crappy multiplexed security cameras. You couldn't make out faces. I contacted the local media to let them know that the website was going to launch soon. There were other features for other local businesses to create their own pages, sort of like geocities or myspace. They called me back and said they never do website announcements, but the live video stream was very interesting to them. We did an interview, and they sent me the article they were going to run after I launched, it painted the still image service as "1984 is here", and you would give up your privacy if you went to the restaurant. They must have told other people, because by the end of the week I had lawyers contacting me and threatening me with lawsuits if I launched. The website launched without the live image.

No one cares anymore. All of the people the media were trying to scare are the same people uploading their entire lives to for-profit corporations like facebook and instagram, and they're doing it in full HD with their names attached.

So, I completely see how cool this technology is, and some good that can be done with it, but anyone involved is setting themselves up for trouble.
I've never had a watch last more than 10 years. My dad has an Omega that lasted over 30 years, but it was a lot more than $50.
Same goes for home cameras doesn't it? There is no way for individuals caught on camera to protect their privacy, there are no signs across the street saying you are under camera supervision, no protection from invasion of privacy? True, police cameras go places that are private, but then we expect (though probably don't have rights to) privacy driving our car down the street, or even stepping onto someone's private property for legal reasons.
It's actually very hard to generalize these statements.

I wholeheartedly agree that a great PM is a great advocate for the team, bringing team issues forward and freeing the way to get stuff done.

On the other hand it's often a tight rope to walk. I've seen situations often enough where a dev team would like to change frameworks/backends/dev environments/codebases, whatever it might be. And this has to be weighed between short- and long-term success. This is where a more technical product manager shines. On the other end of the scale I've seen dev teams walk all over their (non-technical) PM because they knew they could do so. It's a give- and take between team happiness and advocacy as well as end-user satisfaction and what the company needs at any given point in time.
Being a great PM is actually much harder than it seems at first.

Launch HN: Widhya (YC SUS) – The Hands-On Project Network
Hi HN,

I'm Rahul Arulkumaran, the Co-Founder of Widhya(https://widhya.org). Our platform provides industrial experience to learners, without them having to work at a company.

Marks, grades, field of study, and college - all act as barriers to securing a job or an internship. Most times, learners don't even apply for opportunities because they are scared of rejections because of the previously mentioned factors. This feeling was something that I encountered in college too. Although I had a good technical profile, my grades always pulled me back, and I decided to start Widhya because I didn't want others to face a similar problem.

We tie-up with companies, take up tasks from them and put them out for our users to solve. This way, (1) Students learn about what it takes to become a part of the workforce, and (2) Companies get access to these students who solve their tasks and know precisely whom to hire based on quality and cultural awareness.

Many e-learning platforms have videos to help people learn(MOOCs). At Widhya, we adopt a text-first approach where every project's fundamental concepts are explained over multiple smaller-scale tasks. Since students know that nobody judges them based on anything but their quality of work, we've noticed that they feel more relaxed & confident and tend to learn and perform better over a period of time.

In India alone, hardly 25-30% of the students get access to opportunities. Widhya intends to instill confidence among the remaining 70-75% by giving them access to various industrial tasks while ensuring that employers can get top-quality talent for their organizations. I would love to hear from you about your thoughts on this!
A whole lot of these threats are manufactured. You know that members of the Bush administration helped orchestrate the 9/11 attacks, right?
Isn't the point (or at least on of the most important points) of law and the justice system to protect from harm (and handle those who violate laws)?

Thus, if it's legal then the company is doing nothing wrong. If they're harming someone then laws should change - which is what the democratic/legislative arm is for - and law suits should be filed.

I'm not against a company having a moral stance but to implicate all those that don't as bad moral actors when they system is set up the way it is seems a tad invidious.
Matt Taibbi isn't a traditional liberal, and his current flavor of accelerationist contrarianism is very compatible with Kelly. Not for nothing, but this Taibbi trait was amplified by him being pretty persuasively MeToo'd a couple years back; he tried to fend off criticism of his work in The eXile, but again, Rule of Goats.

Honestly I think this says more surprising about Kelly than it does about Taibbi.

Nope, you're just being taken for a ride because they can. Remember that the biggest line item for pharmaceutical companies is their advertising budget, not their research budget.

Also, this kind of thinking is some weird sort of Stockholm Syndrome, you're basically trying to frame being taken advantage of as some sort of altruism.
This is true and a problem a lot of people who are trying to be mindful deal with.

Many have "goals" to get "better at" meditating. This is due to our conditioning - we're convinced everywhere that we aren't good enough, in everything we do, from ads, to our boss, to our internal voice.

Sometimes I find just saying "you're doing fine, whatever it is" can be really helpful.
