Wasn't one way to qualify in the the old definition just having an income above $200k for 2 years in a row and a reasonable expectation that you'll make that much this year?

I'd expect anyone at a hedge fund who would want to go solo to easily qualify based on that. Maybe it'd pull in the timeline a bit since you wouldn't have to wait 2 years but that's about it.
I maintain three forums, and it's harder and harder to get new users and get those new users to post useful stuff. People is getting used to post shallow content that contributes nothing.

I discussed it with my older users and we tried different strategies, but maybe 1/30 new <30yo users is worth it. I had to ban some of them just because they posted too much noise.

And android does have alternative stores. Amazon, F-Droid and even directly side-loading applications. Not everyone takes advantage and most sales go through the Google Play Store, but it still happens. Apple offers none of that.

AFAIK, Google also doesn't charge for dev-tools or access to dev options. I admit, however, it's been several years since I've done any app development for either, and then it was mostly a wrapper around a browser control with some custom integration for use with NFC.
Yeah, by "In 1.47" I mean that as of 1.47 it was already implemented, didn't check since which version.
Why 2021? The Fed moves pretty slowly.

Are you for real? I swear you have to be trolling.

There are several videos showing flying objects and several people reporting that jets were flying. Again, Israeli jets flying over Lebanon is a normal occurrence and could be absolutely nothing. I will say it again, there exists SEVERAL different videos that show this. This is why I expected them to at least mention this.

Also the ammonium nitrate was not confiscated, they were taken to the port to prevent them from sinking in the sea. But they were never claimed back.

You're the one who is misinformed and is rejecting even a comment saying "I wish they tackled these subjects as well" which are without a doubt related to the explosion. Fuck off with your shitty sarcasm.
Yeah, I guess the word "nominal" is a little awkward in this case.

We meant it in the sense that most users... will not exceed 1 TB/month data movement, therefore the _nominal_ or _expected_ charge would be $5. Take myself for example, once my data was in the system, I maybe move 30 GB a month and that's it.

(Although we're dealing with ZFS datahoarders here... so some assumptions may need to be discarded ...)

> For the rent to own plan, the only thing you're paying after payoff is the bandwidth fee? (Which for minimal usage might be under $5 or $5 depending on the above answer) Is that right?

Yup. That's correct. You're just paying for a slot in the machine + bandwidth. If you need extra bandwidth, it's $5/TB.
Where are they getting public domain opinions that CL doesn't have? Are these states or counties that CL doesn't scrape? It would be nice to have a breakdown by jurisdiction.

Also, by "case" do you mean "opinions"?

Full disclosure, I've written and contributed to several scrapers for CL, and if there's a large source they're missing I'd like to know.

Note that the CL opinion number you're quoting doesn't include orders from Federal courts that are in the RECAP collection, which accounts for several million additional opinions.
I only read reddit when a search engine tells me that the answer to a question is there. Sometimes I'm annoyed that I can't read further into a thread... but I tell myself that anything in the weeds probably won't be a great answer to my question anyway. If only search engines had voluntary "I found / didn't find what I was looking for" feedback instead of clickjacking trackers...
> But infrastructure ages, and 60 years isn't a bad run. What comes next? Clearly there's going to be a capabilities gap for a while, but now that it's 60 years after its original design, what kind of design is going to replace it? Do we even need giant monolith dishes anymore?

China already built one: https://phys.org/news/2016-07-china-world-largest-radio-tele....

Of course that could be easily bypassed, but such a restriction could be easily bypassed by determined employees regardless of whether Firefox natively supports DoH or not.

Local intranet sites will still continue to work without any changes because by default it will fall back to the native resolver if DoH can't resolve the domain. So there should be no breakage by default besides for content blocking use cases.
I'm so bummed. I was there, almost, once. Went to Puerto Rico, drove all the way there, tiny winding road, took half the day just getting there. Turns out they were closed. Despite calling ahead and their phone message just listing the hours (which we were within).

So, after all that I got to see a fence with a closed sign.
>the dedicated proof writing course

What was yours like? The one I took didn't cover much on the actual writing of proofs. The professor accepted reasonable essays with high-school level notation. Instead, he gave us a toolbox for proving things: pairing terms in a series to find the sum, rewriting recursive equations, etc. It was mostly to show that clever tricks are how mathematicians prove new things. But that might've been because the professor was a guy who reveled in clever solutions.
> School needs to fundamentally change especially for adolescent males, it just stacks the decks against the high functioning learn by doing types.

The point of school is to teach discipline and grit - the subjects in and of themselves are merely incidental. Do you really think that these "great minds" - the kids who can't sit through a lecture and half-ass everything off of natural talent alone - would be doing great things if it weren't for the evil school system getting in the way?

"Smart but lazy" is probably the most insufferable combination of character traits. Nothing else even comes close.

I do know the term — I’d define it as generally being aware of the historical struggles that various groups have gone through and realizing how that impacts them today.

It feels like you’re dancing around your word choice and I’m having trouble understanding exactly what you’re saying, especially as how being aware of power struggles impacts your ability to presumably software engineer well. They seem pretty orthogonal to me.

When you say “social responsibility” putting “less competent managers in power,” are you referring to affirmative action? Or something else here?

How will we know when the aliens call us?
Well, okay, so, the problem is like this: let's say you wanted to schedule something to happen during that exact extra second in the end of June 2015 when we were all standing around watching UTC do its little extra dance. You pick 1435708800. Trouble is, that Unix time applies to both 23:59:59Z and 23:59:60Z on that particular day.

You can't target it beforehand or after. It's just... gone.

It's not a problem from the point of view of programs, since they just got whatever time_t value they got, and they don't know the bigger perspective. It's more of a mapping from outside->in problem.

Put it another way: try writing a program that'll call clock_gettime() and will say a message at a later time you select. You can't put in 23:59:60Z because there's no way to represent it, and indeed, you won't even be able to tell when the time comes unless you special-case it and notice _that particular second_ repeating itself... or reach into the kernel to look at the leap bit, or worse. It's a real time in meatspace, but you can't target it with the tools at hand. That's the problem.

Regarding the 17 second thing, that's because someone decided to switch off the thing which (correctly) applies the adjustment factor to GPS time to make it NTP time. There was a 17 second difference at the time (GPS to NTP), and with it off, we were shipping GPS time to hosts as if it was NTP time.

In theory, any regression of the clock long enough to not let the actual passing of time push it past the sanity check time point in the lock stuff would have caused this. The thing is, a small-scale time step (from ntpd, say) normally happens at boot up, not later, and it's on a system by system basis.

The 17 second excursion happened on hundreds of thousands of machines all at once, and, yeah, it was noticed.
Oh wow, it's so great to read this because it validates that I'm not crazy.

I've been programming professionally for 15 years, but started as a kid too.

I feel like this pivot you're talking about happened somewhere in the beginning of my career. I never jumped on the bandwagon and I feel increasingly miserable as the years go by.

You'd have heard 9 year old me saying he wanted to be a programmer. I went to university to study Computer Science because I love computing and computers and solving problems with them. I like writing programs that solve problems for people, and I like making existing programs better by fixing bugs, refactoring them to make them easier to work on, etc. That's what I signed up for when I started my career.

The shift to the cloud sent everything to hell. Like I've said, I've been miserable for years now. I've spent the past week struggling to plumb shit on AWS and Kubernetes. Actual programming was maybe 10% of the task I'm working on, and it was just connecting library A to library B, basically.
Show HN: Exoteric
I wonder how much of the difference is attributable to sensitivity (or lack thereof) to the art/medium/representation, and how much is due to the fact that the fears addressed by the work of art were more relatable to people at the time than they are to a modern audience.

My mom found "The Exorcist" truly frightening, so much so that she refused to re-watch it in adulthood. So my friend and I rented it one night looking forward to a good scare; instead, we mostly found ourselves laughing at how ridiculous it seemed. We must have been around 12 at the time, so probably already quite desensitized to horror movies in general, but I think it is also the case that the subject matter was just less frightening to us than it was to her. We were all raised Catholic, but she was of the stern-nuns-with-rulers generation whereas our elementary school in the 90's had been of the hippie-nuns-with-guitars variety. I don't think things like demons/the devil had ever felt like real objects of fear for us like they may have been for her (in such a deep way that their representation continued to creep her out long after she stopped believing in their literal existence).

How do Moderna and Pfizer's mRNA vaccine work?
This headline is inaccurate to the point of malfeasance. The study absolutely did not look into whether masks have a significant effect on COVID-19 transmission; it tracked whether a medical doctor's recommendation to a patient would reduce transmission.

One of the limitations called out in the paper was the fact that compliance with mask wearing was low, and/or not tracked.
"Foeticide (or feticide) is the act of killing a fetus, or causing an abortion."

Abortion stops a pregnancy and a pregnancy is the production of a human life.

You are also not killing sperm by using a tissue, neither do you kill an egg.

You also don't kill an embryo as those things are not alive.

Just because a biological mechanism started doing what it is programmed to do, doesn't make it alive.

Would you argue that a virus is alive?

When do you draw your line of a biological machine becoming alive?

The article suggests it was a combination of hurricanes and earthquakes that led to critical damage.

I understood the mathematics, but made a lot of silly errors, e.g. misreading -/+. Messy handwriting, crammed layout and too many steps at once all contributed, but I also just made many mistakes.

It felt impoosible to fix and didn't seem worth it since the understanding was what I valued. But since I never felt confident in my results - checking the answer was always suspenseful - my mathematics was useless, to actually use, without an answer to check.

So I decided to methodically notice where I made errors, and to verify those particular places. "It might take me twice as long", I thought, "But at least I'll have the skill to do it, when needed, and be able to have results I can actually use!"

So I began this, and it did take twice as long, and it worked. That sense of suspense started to disappear, because knew I had the correct answer. I became more skilled at checking, so it look less time. And then a very strange thing started to happen...

I started to make those mistakes less often. I became attentive to them as I was making them. Then stopped making them. I didn't antipicate or account for this at all... I thought it was impossible for me to change - it was like magic.

In hindsight, this was "deliberate practice", with the key quality of not just repetitive practice (which eventually plateaus), but practice focussing on appropriate aspects, changing as needed.

An expert coach really helps here, both for identfying issues and psychological encouragement. Although I managed this particular one on my own, it was hard. But finding such a coach seems even more difficult! And I'm so obstinate, I'm not sure I would pay attention anyway...

There is no absolute here. While I agree that a great degree of understanding is desirable, lots of concepts and techniques don’t sink in until hours, days or even years after being presented.

I still remember powering through lots problems without much clarity and achieving the right answer. Every attempt, failed or successful, got me closer to really understand what I was doing.

It’s ok not to understand a topic the first or nth-time time you come across it. If you follow through, something will stick, and sooner than later you’ll get a good enough picture.

Absolutely. If anything, this is the kind of thing which absolutely justifies having a nice, stable, bipartisan revenue stream directly from the tax base (along with, you know, stuff like transportation infrastructure, healthcare, education, etc). These shouldn't be the kinds of things which have to go begging for scraps from the tables of billionaires.

In case you're just wondering what the changes to the rule are, they are roughly:

* The SEC can designate professional certifications from accredited institutions as a surrogate for wealth --- to begin with, FINRA Series 7, 65, and 82.

* Employees of investment funds can be accredited for purpose of investing in their employers fund.

* Firms that are SEC-registered investment advisors may now be accredited.

* To meet the individual standards of accreditation, households can pool wealth between spouses, regardless of whether both spouses are acquiring a security.

* LLCs with 5MM in assets are accredited, as are family offices with 5MM in assets.

Yes, because I am making content for them for free. It is unpaid labor on my part in exchange for free hosting. Now it is unpaid labor that makes them money.
>While I agree with this in principle, it assumes a level of reasonableness in the discussion that is simply not there for many people who hijack online forums.

People have lost the ability to discourse with others that's for sure. If you do know how to do so, you can turn a comment that is unreasonable to derive a conversation out of them. I do this all the time.

>They are "spreading misinformation" in the sense of shouting over everyone else and not observing any rules of civil discussion. What they say is often not even coherent enough to be worth trying to refute with better speech. The only way to keep the forum viable at all is to ban them.

And the point being made is once again confirmed. You cannot have community when all opposing viewpoints are banned. Your community becomes an echo chamber.

In fact lets even back off slightly. Let's say we are pre-echo chamber. What happens, how does it become? As I said it was moderation. It can be the mods themselves or the downvote system. Every community has a bias and the people who agree with the hivemind get the most upvotes but the opposing viewpoints get downvoted. So what happens? The most reasonable people are removed first. This is a goal, if you remove the reasonable opposing viewpoint, it leaves your hivemind and the unreasonable opposing viewpoint that helps reinforce the hivemind.

So now that we have all these echo chambers and no communities. How healthy is society? It is far worse off than 10 years ago.

Part of "infrastructure" is the capability and willingness to deal with the aftermath of severe weather events.
I (not an expert) don't think trace materials or humidity can explain the size of the explosion being 1/2 to 1/4 of stated storage. That must require significant chemical changes.

I suspect these changes would appear in the plume or type of explosion; Yet no investigation finds any evidence of any type of material not in the original documents.

So we have 'raw' ammonium nitrate possibly contaminated with trace materials - which brings us back to the explosion weight being inconsistent with the documented weight.

> They moved from an objective definition to a subjective definition of "expertise".

No, they didn't. It remains objective, it just now tests expertise by objective standards, not merely wealth or income. (Which are, at best, more distant proxies for expertise than the new ones.)

> Expect many more regular people to be scammed out of their life savings.

The new added standards are less "regular people" than the the old, continued standards, so I don't think that's the case. If licensed professional investment advisors and the like are getting scammed out of their life savings because they are able to invest directly in unlicensed securities, than there is a real problem with the licensing systems or the process allowing the investments to be offered at all, regardless of investor qualifications.

I've never done it so I could be wrong, but what appeals to me (at least in theory) about contracting is that there's no emotional investment involved.

When you're an FTE there's an expectation that you're invested in the stuff you build and that you care about it and think about it and how to make it better. I find that exhausting, because most jobs will have you working on things you don't particularly care about because you're not a user of the product, or there's no societal impact stemming from the work you do.

So I job where I could put in 8h a day doing whatever tasks are handed to me, and nothing else, sounds perfect.
