I mostly mean it to be people who try to push for "team events" or "team lunches" or "team happy hours", even when some or most of the team make it clear that they're not interested. Often this is accompanied by shaming/annoyance if you're not interested in joining in.

I don't mind people trying to make friends at work, and often I don't even dislike the people who annoy me like this, I just don't like them as much as they seem to like the idea of spending time with me. There's a gap between people I like making smalltalk with before a meeting or while I'm taking a break to get coffee, and people I want to have a dedicated social time with.

If you want to make friends at work, don't use the mechanisms of my employment to coerce me into spending time with you.
I think this is an important reminder about what an extraordinary accident PCs were in their standardization and openness.

It’s possible we took that for granted and assumed that openness was a given in personal computing.

The reality is that most devices, from cars to refrigerators, to video games, to cameras, etc are closed and proprietary ecosystems. PCs, due to a few happy accidents, were one of the rare things that enabled a vibrant, free from restriction, 3rd party ecosystem in both hardware and software.

Apple may be inadvertently teaching us all a lesson about not taking the things we currently enjoy for granted as they are often not guarantees in the future
I think it's likely that the average Australian vehicle is heavier, since the average European/Australian passenger vehicle is the same age (10.x years).

Maybe our sulferous crap fuel has something to do with it too. I don't know.
NPR is American.
Lol. which people? The ones questioning why we should accept this or the ones foisting this on the population?

I could tell you but I'll be b& from commenting. :-)
Don't give up on the people who are so extreme one way or another. We need people in the middle to reign in those on the far outside edges of the political spectrum. It takes a lot of time, energy, effort & listening. Be kind. Don't chase them away. I see to many people chase away anyone who disagrees with them.

Common ground can be found with everyone. I've found you can get those who hate capitalism to suggest capitalist ideas. I've found you can get those who hate socialism to suggest socialist ideas, especially around the ideas of safety nets regarding children, cancer and other health concerns.
Many of the cars you see on European streets would seem a bit... small... to many Australians.

There is a way to charge for distance without gps tracking or such levels of privacy invasion.

For example, tolls where you pay cash is a solution. Obviously, that is adding a transaction cost, which is not desirable.

But let's think of a more privacy secure way to create an easy pass like system.

The obvious problem of easypass systems is they track cars by license plates and thus create a massive database of which car went through when.

But it could be legally required to purge the license plate data of cars that paid.

You could get a signal when going through the tollway that indicates the amount to pay. You could send a transaction via a cryptocurrency with a signed message on the transaction and then a separate API call to the state tollway system telling them which license plate was just paid for by the transaction.

Then any vehicles that had paid would be converted into effectively cash records with the license plate number purged.

Thus, data is only retained on those who broke the law and didn't pay.

While obviously this requires a government to see privacy as enough of a concern to adopt such data purge policies, it is totally possible.

If anyone else can think of a way to allow pay for road usage solutions that are more privacy secure, I'd love to hear them.
Ask HN: What's your workflow for searching programming questions?
I Google programming questions a lot and would love to have something like:

A keyboard shortcut > Type a query > Have first result auto open into a terminal.
> Unlike most decentralized projects you may be thinking of…

I'm a fan of decentralized technologies. I'm saying that this project makes ridiculous claims, and (having read the FAQ) even the "decentralized" claim is dubious.

> …people are buying domains.

Of course. Speculation is the ICO business model.
“To her, the finding indicates that once women serve on hiring committees, their enthusiasm for diversity statements often cools.”

Exploring this further might give greater insights.
> The idea that a significant percentage of the population should be in debt, jobless or lacking healthcare coverage has been normalized and institutionalized.

FWIW, that's only true in America, which is only 5% of the world's population.

Hundreds of millions of people around the world have it much better.
I left Facebook 6 years ago. Never really closed my account, just walked away from it one day and didn't go to it anymore. I felt missing out for sometime (like a year). Sometimes I feel I miss out. But now I really don't care.

Facebook cares though. Hehe... I get message from Facebook literally everyday, saying I missing out on this or that.

6 months back I registered for Instagram, but the last login was 3 weeks back.

With time I seem to have learnt not to care for Social media.

With the extra time I get I am learning music for last 4 years, working on a website called http://www.viewpedia.org and making food videos on Youtube with my daughter, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUFbooZwXFhZzaOF7G_rH6A
"Full EVs do more damage to the road than ICE vehicles since they’re a lot heavier."

You have to be literally retarded to actually believe in this Trump propaganda.
I don't find it at all compelling. Frankly the whole argument is sexist, unnecessarily so.

What's ultimately underrepresented are people with small hands, PERIOD.

As if it's fine that men with small hands can't compete (very common too btw), but oh-boy, since it's especially affects women, now it's a super big wrong that has to be corrected.

No, it's wrong on a more fundamental level - there's no good reason to exclude small handed people at all from reaching the highest level, regardless of sex or anything in between.
Or how about a chromatic keyboard without black keys? Wouldn't that make more sense, since transposition becomes a simple matter of shifting?
> product-shaped

Helpful in other ways too: 1. no royalties under international tax treaties 2. "desktop tools" seems more viable as a business than libraries e.g. JetBrains Intellij IDEA (maybe because a library is at the dev's level, but an app is one step removed?)

> free subscriptions

Great for a paid product (reminds me a little of Dropbox's referral program, in that it rewards with the product itself), but it seems an exaggeration to describe getting one month (or one year) free subscriptions as "like any traditional free open-source project". Though, I suppose if one was dedicated enough to contribute every month, it would be... (and of course, motivate that dedication) But let me repeat to be clear: this is great for a paid product.

You're way ahead of me, but let me share this anyway: if you are kind of open-source, and step too far away, it can generate a pure open-source rival. Or looked at another way: being sufficiently open-source is a barrier-to-entry (denies oxygen) to a fully open-source rival ("why would anyonw use it, when there is already your mature project?") Though "product-shaped" probably the greater help here.

A subscription model for a non-hosted desktop app twists my mind a little, but I think it makes a lot of business sense, both for you and for customers (two examples: it's an expense, not an asset; monthly (or yearly) is more affordable than an outright purchase).

Anyway, it's great to be able to devote yourself to open-source, without being taken advantage of.
I wish Mozilla would let me pay for FireFox. I care about the open Web and would gladly pay for one of my most important tools.
I think there's a bit more nuance depending on what kind of software you write, but overall it's on the right thought track. Current predominant monoculture creates some astoundingly bad systems.
Americans hate socialism, but mostly loves socialist ideas like minimum wages, free healthcare etc. Florida who voted strongly for Trump, many thinks because of Socialist scaremongering, voted to raise minimum wage to $15 this year.

Republicans have tried to take away social security and medicaid/care, but their voters will not have it.
It is difficult to define "actively searching for work" with a consistent baseline across the decades, but it is not all that difficult to arrive at a definition that is valid for any given point of time. Simply consider the social norms for the era. If it is considered normal to have two income households at any given point of time, then it is legitimate to include an unemployed spouse.

Another route, similar to the one in this study, may be considering people who are actively searching for work and where the household income is below a certain threshold (likely based upon the composition of the family).

That is always the case, yes.

I guess I'm left wondering why you wrote a whole post of your own to ask questions that you could have answered by searching for the large amount of information that is already out there about this process, possibly the most-closely-tracked vaccine development process in history. But hey, it's a free internet, more or less.
I don’t see what difference it makes if certain taxes are earmarked for certain expenses. Any shortfall is made up by increasing taxes and/or increasing taxpayer debt, any surplus will result in less assistance from other taxes or get directed elsewhere.

Personally I believe that in some ways, both extreme political views are right.

First, in my opinion, basic income is absolutely needed, and has been for quite some time. Not only the pandemic, but also the severe state of the long-term debt cycle, and the increasing automation, as well as existing social inequality, all make basic income necessary if we want to avoid more extreme levels of homelessness. And it seems unlikely that significantly higher levels of homelessness will be tolerated without large increases in entitlements.

We also need much more effective tax policies related to corporations and wealthy individuals.

But I also believe that when people on the other side say that we can't pay for the basic income, they are correct. The income of the government will still not add up to be able to give everyone a livable floor to start with given the high cost of living in the US. And even with dramatic improvements in tax collection, its not going to come close.

So I believe that either we will end up creating a new type of high-tech money, or quite possibly have a global war where we try to defend the US currency.

> Encourage drivers to move to lighter vehicles which cause less wear and tear on the road, and drop the disparity between fuel and electric. They both use the same tires.

And what of the damage that non-electric vehicles do to the environment? Shouldn't we be accounting for that?

At least roads can be easily repaired.
I wonder if you are "hopelessly" misinformed or open to accepting information that conflicts with your worldview
You can also sidestep the privacy issue there, because large electric vehicles are likely to need special chargers. (How many kW do you need to charge a 1MWh battery in a reasonable amount of time?) And then you can levy road tax on large trucks per kWh at the charging point in the traditional way without even having to track everywhere they go.
There is when he is asking someone else to summarize a story from an American news source because he is too stubborn to read it himself cause of his "principles".
Hmn. Brief research seems to show that you're more correct than I would have expected, but also that it's less true than I think you imply.

For example, https://afdc.energy.gov/data/10310 gives motorcycles as almost 2x as efficient as cars, almost 3x as efficient as "light truck / van".

Given that enormous amount of metal that's not being hauled around, I would have expected a bigger difference. Nonetheless, for single-occupant travel, halving transportation carbon footprint would be quite a great thing.
It's interesting to think that if Apple had won the PC wars how closed everything would be.
Pre-pandemic the percentage of Americans living below the poverty line was the lowest it had been in decades. The rate for 2019 was 11.1% or 40.6 million people. Of course it has jumped significantly during the pandemic, but the question is how much and how quickly the number will return towards pre-pandemic numbers once the pandemic ends.
It is reality. What it reflects about reality may not be immediately obvious but that's true of most metrics.

It's important to understand that the value of the unemployment rate is not the absolute number but its change over time.

We also have other metrics published alongside the unemployment rate, like labor participation.
Wearing masks has an agenda! To not spread Covid!
Without knowing anything about keyboards this seems like a 'no brainer' to me. In fact, it seems so obvious that I am surprised market forces haven't solved for this already. I am curious why no one has come along, and built just this as there seems to be enough demand in the market.
just bump your 10x engineers in grade and salary and suddenly nobody will think of them as 10x engineers. They will be just typical specialists at their place and their level.

or there could be another possibility: You think you have 10x engineer on your team, but actually you don't have them. You just keep employing a lot of 0.1x engineers that are unfit for their position/level/grade

I think the latter view is why companies like amazon/netflix fire a lot of engineers that they think are 0.1x or less than 1x
There's been a growing number of voices[0][1][2] speaking to not only inequality but also the meritocratic system that seems to have positive feedback loops that worsens inequality by precluding opportunities for those who don't fit the mold of the college education track. I think it's only a matter of time (within the next decade?) where this comes to a head and results in some shock to the system that forces a correction.

You can learn to switch sizes if you try. I have two keyboards, one with narrow keys (korg micro key, bought for my kids as they can't reach even a simple 5-7 chord), and I play it just fine. I even have them one on top of the other and play both at once sometimes, one each hand. it isn't hard once you practice a little. (but not my ability is barely simple kids songs so I'm not a good example)

Aye, I don't use win7 because it's unsupported. Microsoft also updated it automatically when I wasn't looking.

I don't really care enough to support windows 7 myself; as I mentioned, the only reason I have Windows is for video games, so as long as I'm still getting video driver updates, Win10 could be the worst OS in the world and it wouldn't bother me too much.

Maybe you should try out the Ubuntu Budgie distro with my http://kinto.sh project added to handle your key mappings. I've tried countless distros and it is the most mac like experience you will find. EnsoOS would follow it, but of course I'd mention elementaryOS and Pop_OS! if they'd keep support for the global menu like Budgie or EnsoOS(xfce).

Is there some website that keeps a list of these indie studios of less than 10 people? And what type of game they’re developing.

That would be the most lucrative to join. Especially if you can get in early, get some dreamy future profit sharing, and work to crank out that code.
This is one place where apple’s ban on alternative browser engines really hurts users, IMO. I’d be pretty comfy using an old iPad that was out of security support, _if_ it had an up to date browser. But since browser engine updates are tied to OS, there’s no way for obsoleted iPads to keep being safely used as cheap browsing machines.
in this sense it might even be possible that using an outdated android is safer, if you’re just browsing and you’ve got an up to date browser.
I would personally prefer a direct answer. Then your post could be informative and discussed. Perhaps you could add nuance to the discourse. I think that by joking around that you’d be banned for doing so prevents that discussion from happening

Chrome on iOS isn't even a real thing, it's just an app embedding Safari like every other app with a webview (because Apple's draconian policies forbid alternate browser engines). All the other Google apps also have to use Safari for any web stuff.
Raspberry pi kernel 4.14 on my pihole is around 4-5MB, linux 4.4 generic kernel in ubuntu 16.04 on one of my older box is around 6-7MB, and Linux 5.4 generic kernel on ubuntu 20.04 on my vps and desktop is around 12MB.

PCs didn’t have as long of life in the 90’s to the early 2000’s, either. In 2008 only 33% of PCs were over 3 years old. Today it’s over 60% (haven’t found a more exact statistic). iPads were going through a similar maturing process and rapidly iterating on performance and features. It’s why I can accept the notion of hardware being obsolete sooner when being an early adopter.

The big thing that makes really old iPads not worthwhile to reuse is the battery. It often becomes cost ineffective to replace them. I’m looking at my 9.7” Pro with a cracked corner of its screen. Replacing the battery will damage the screen more causing a replacement for that, too. PCs don’t have the same expectation of parts wearing out - many easily can run 10 years with no hardware maintenance.
I do want to thank you for saying this out loud since the downvotes don't really give me an opportunity to respond.

I've soaked up American media and politics for the past four years. I originally got into it because I had some personal life events that made me interested in it. Since I started paying more attention, an attention that has risen both steadily and sharply over time, it has noticeably decreased my quality of life overall. I would get upset, frustrated, and overall I've been skeptical of connecting with people. The byproduct was that my awareness around narratives, misinformation, and propaganda has grown and I started to understand that this was largely just the status quo now. That view favors no political party whatsoever.

I'm from the South/Midwest but live on the coast and I served in the military. Because of that I have had this huge array of friends that hail from all walks of life whom I had no problem getting along with. I've now lost lifelong friends over their or my political views, I've felt disappointment in people (and they have felt it in me), and really it's alienated me very much from the American way of life in general. I've always had different views from my friends because I don't fit very squarely in many of our political categories and for a long time that was okay. These days disagreement comes part and parcel with some sense of morality and unfortunately in our political dichotomy that cuts both ways and leaves someone like me in the middle.

At some point I came to the realization that I could either become an ex-patriot or totally disconnect and buy some time. Surely some folks would find my disconnection so abhorrent that they may choose to alienate me anyway, but for my own mental well-being I decided to deactivate my social media accounts, block all breaking news, american news, and political commentary, as well as cancel my streaming services (other than Hulu, I can't miss Rick and Morty!)

I'd like to bury my parents before I leave this country, so if I can buy some time I'd like to do that and this has made a world of a difference in my day to day life. That doesn't mean I wouldn't like to stay up on some statistics like this one. I'm still a citizen and I still want to help people where I can, I just can't be subjected to the daily onslaught of politically focused, shifting morality.

I have more interesting observations, like how the news looks without being able to see Twitter, or things my friends have done to keep me included on the more positive sides of things happening on social media, so feel free to ask questions.
