I would cite the exact law that made religion a protected class in the american workplace: the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 56 years ago, this was happening often enough that Congress felt the need to act.

This isn't a citation, but if you have a discussion with a jewish american over fifty years old, they likely have stories about this sort of thing.

> The vendor just doesn't want to acknowledge the real role of Raspberry Pi is not limited to being a cheap tinkerer board anymore

The vendor is a charity with a mission that they have chosen [1]. They can target the Pi however they want to meet that mission. The fact that it doesn't happen to do something that you want it for is your problem not theirs.

There has been a virtuous cycle that something originally aimed at education has been of use to so many hackers, resulting in high volumes and all the benefits that brings. But that doesn't mean that they also need to focus on other sectors.

The culture permeates every level. The "alpha male" culture benefited most men in 2015-2016, even if they didn't capitalize on pointless sex. The free love movement expanded it's own movement into most parts of the culture. These patterns aren't 'optional forces' that only the rich have enough spare time to participate in.

The culture force of elitism is the current phase and idolizing the rich is eternal in america.

There's a bigger picture than the current myth.
Its just that the frog is being boiled quite slowly. Apple every year is doing tiny little steps towards full control what customer can run on "their" computer and people instead of trying to stop them in their tracks, they defend them. It's bizarre and funny at the same time. Then if few years people will be crying they cannot publish software without being robbed and we will say "I told you so".

In the 1930s they put about 13,000 tonnes of gold in Fort Knox. (It now has about 4,500 tonnes). Density of gold is about 20g/cm^3, or 20 tonnes per cubic metre. So Fort Knox held up to 650m^3 of gold.

So, a souped-up Matrix Server with Jitsi integration and a bunch of other plugins?

I'm not ready to offer that to you, but it's definitely on my roadmap for https://communick.com next year.

The thing that I'd suggest though: instead of coming with a laundry list of things that you'd like to see in a finished product, consider funding the development of projects that provide the pieces?
Absolutely, that’s a big one. I remember when the kids wouldn’t sleep through the night I would randomly grab four or five donuts in the morning and I could completely override any thoughts that it was a bad idea.

I guess for me, improving sleep involved lots of small changes:

Consistent bed time.

More exercise and sun exposure during the day.

Black out blinds at night.

The kids started sleeping in more so I can wake up naturally.

Cutting back on caffeine.

"If we jump back two decades ago the American people were lead to believe that weapons of mass destruction were present in Afghanistan and Iraq and it was the cornerstone of the war initiative there."

Nope, most news outlets were very critical about the iraqi WMD story with some notable exceptions like the aforementioned NYT and there never was one with afghanistan. Just because there are no/few positive stories about russia does not necessarily mean that the media is biased.
A relative recently lost about 25kg(55lbs) from about 100kg. While what he did feels a bit extreme to me, he only completely removed carbs and sugar from his diet. And he didn't even go to the gym. I am not sure I will be able to survive without carbs though.
True, I assumed it was "never" as the exported/imported horse meat I knew was a byproduct of a country that simply had a huge horse culture and a taboo on eating the meat at the same time. But I gathered some information and it seems that there are herds bred purely for consumption. TIL!
Will this offer a way of shorting these stocks too?
In 50 years of yo-yo dieting I've tried most things, including large quantities of exercise. Many worked for a while. I've lost > 100 pounds four times ... before gaining it back.

Now I'm trying something new that's working quiet well so far, 30 pounds down in 2.5 months. The real difference is that eating this way transforms me into a non-fat person behavioraly: I now stop eating when I'm full, which was a magic act only other people could do before. And now I just eat once or twice per day, not out of willpower, but because now that's all I want.

You may not want to hear about the food that does this for me. I sure didn't. As desperate as I've been, until recently I just closed my ears to it. It's a bad fit for me culturally, by taste (previously), training, and experience. But now I love it, and not just because it's working so well:

Meat. And organs. Mostly beef. High fat. I went carnivore. It seemed gross and impossible back when I was a raw vegan. Now here I am. And it's not just the weight. It has cleared up multiple digestive and inflammatory issues. It started as a one month cleanse but I'm not tempted to stop.

Many times a diet has worked for me because I was coming to it from a bad diet, and anything that got me off of junk food would have worked. Not this time. I had been on a clean very low carb diet for years, and managed to gain lots of weight on it after a large initial loss. Carnivore seeems to be reversing that, fingers crossed.

Look, not to be a stick on the mud I appreciate, and deep down even personally endorse and support the sentiment behind this person's deep-dive.

However.

I refuse to allow my Constitution to be further butchered by creative re-interpretation. The Founders were not going hyper-elanorate when laying this thing out. The Pardon power is explicitly the power to grant a pardon from Executive origin'd enforcement actions. I.e., whetther you did something or not, I officially grant thatthe United States' point of view on the matter is that the affair is closed. An Executive no-op, if you will.

Impeachment is not an Executive function though. Thos is the one broad, constitutionally provisioned enforcement power afforded by the Constitution to the legislature, and the legislature blew it. Once the executive is out, he has nothing to fear from the legislative.

However, when a new executive goes in, it may stand that a Pardon iss neither final, nor permanant. Nothing in the Constitution says that a Pardon cannot be reversed, as I"m fairly sure the Judiciary, reasoning from text would hold double-jeopardy isn't actually a factor, because no jury trial has occurred.

Generally speaking though, no one has wanted to, nor do I necessarily think should, push the boundary on pardons without long thought and careful deliberation. That would constitute a very real elevation of politics to a higher standing than Justice, a move hitherto the collective Statesmen of the civilized world have tred with care around, but seems to becoming to a bit of a head recently.

Or maybe I just haven't paid enough attention. I don't know. Last few years have completely screwed view of the world and how it works.
I've been doing this a lot lately as well. It's just really easy to have a directory of compose scripts in your home dir, and setup a simple bash alias/func to stand up a quick database.

> The 2013 mac pro was a mess.

I appreciate that the 2013 mac pro wasn't for you, but it was perfect for me: small but powerful. Firstly: RAM. I was able to install 64 GiB on it, which enabled me to run Cloud Foundry on ESXi on Virtual Workstation on macOS. Non-Xeon chipsets maxed-out at (IIRC) 16 GiB and then later 32 GiB—not enough.

Secondly, size & esthetics: it fits on my very small console table that I use as a desk. I have a modest apartment in San Francisco, and my living room is my office, and although I had a mini-tower in my living room, I didn't like the looks.

Third, expandability: I was able to upgrade the RAM to 64 GiB, the SSD to 1 TB. I was able to upgrade the monitor to 4k. It has 6 Thunderbolt connections.

My biggest surprise was how long it has lasted: I typically rollover my laptops every year or so, but this desktop? It's been able to do everything I've needed it to do for the last 7 years, so I continue to use it.

I haven't actually purchased it myself so can't recommend as such, but for example the Biostar A10N-8800E looks[2] interesting.

Has a quad core AMD APU, 2x DDR4 DIM sockets, PCIe 3.0 x16 slot, one M key M.2 slot, 2x SATA, 2x USB 3.1 Gen 1.

Board itself with integrated CPU costs just ~20% more than the Raspberry Pi 4 8GB, at least here in Norway. Add in 8GB of value memory and a small/spare PSU and you should be not far off the 2x mark.

Considering only the ownership of capital is too restrictive. Control of capital (and therefore power) has shifted from its owners to a managerial elite over the past century.
If they don't see the value, people won't even sign up for a free service. You have to build something that people actually want and need to use. That should be your first priority. Is there a real need? If there is, you'll get users no matter what language, platform or stack you are using.

The constant technology change is just self comfort/pleasure and ultimately an expensive distraction. Look how busy we are. Look how cool our work is. In the end, no one cares about that.

It's unfortunate that so many start ups continually have to relearn this basic truth.

The real issue is the picking of one function. I would be much more convinced of his analysis if he'd chosen the function randomly.

That being said, I am very unsurprised at the results, given what I've seen of scientific code.

However, it's worth noting that the estimates provided by these models in the past have been reasonable: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2020/05/08/so-the-rea... (See the P.S. where he realises that the estimates are actually pretty reasonable).
Having kids forces you to learn new skills, at least for me since I had 0 experience "growing kids from 0 to 20".

Besides the skills to keep them alive, teach them to walk, talk, behave, read, get dressed, keep clean, be safe, etc. There are: picking the right neighbourhood for young families, finding the appropriate schools, dealing with friends of your kids and their parents, planning interesting holidays, adhering to all the mandatory festivities at the corresponding days.

If that does not count as leaning new skills, I do not know what does.
I wonder how many HN readers don’t realize this is satire.

It’s unfortunate that they used the word customer once in the post. Total omission would have been so perfect. The point of the satire is devs navel gazing rather than focusing obsessively on who their customer is and their customers needs and solving that customers problems.

There is a failure mode that has a dev team obsessing over building abstraction layers, tooling, automation etc and not writing a line of code that solves customer problems.
Can you expand on that? r/fasting is a good resource if you want to get back into it.

I did a 3 part series on IoT and security on my blog back in 2016, titled "IoT Danger Zone" (https://2byt.es/post/dz-1/).

For home automation I use Home Assistant, for several years now (~6-7). I had two goals when I began; no cloud and not critical path. Being a software engineer with a degree in electronic engineering it was no issue for me to build my own hardware with ESP32 or ESP8266 and create my own IoT devices.

The no-cloud thing has worked out pretty well, I still don't connect to anything in the cloud, and I block call-home functionality in my firewall such as that of the Philips Hue.

The non-critical path thing has been great too. I can control all of the lights with Hue switches or the physical switches, the sensors for motion can be disabled if we have certain guests that aren't tech-savvy enough (or frankly just used to) deal with motion sensing lights. The automations are all enhancements to rather than driving the core functionality of anything in the home, and so if/when it falls over, things go back to the "normal" level of convenient; you have to turn on lights yourself, or use various remotes for things, the heating becomes manual, etc.

Security is still hard in IoT, good security needs good hardware, and IoT is rarely that, and by good I mean decent memory, hardware accelerated encryption algorithms, hardware secure key storage etc. Coupled with the extremely poor programming practices of a lot of IoT devices, security is all but a joke.
Well, I live in an ex-communist country and I jokingly call NYT "Pravda on the Hudson". The similarities to the opinions in the old Soviet newspaper are uncanny.

Hope this isn’t what’s happening with dark[0]. Saw the early demos and I think the concept is killer, and don’t see why they would focus on a rewrite instead of building on what they have. I never even got asked to pay for it before they pivoted? It kinda felt like giving up and going back to building something instead of marketing and selling what they had.

I say this with much respect for what they built, and someone who also tends toward focusing on the technical when things get hard.

“ Nature’s agonizingly slow process of discovery, driven by cosmological and biological evolution on time scales of millions and billions of years, is accelerated to breakneck speeds in the laboratory.”

The slow process is not quite true.

For example, humans have about a half a million polypeptide machines (proteins, etc.) that make up the human body.

They are made of 20 amino acids in sequence and can be 10s to 100000s units in length.

If you calculate amount of polypeptides ribosomes could make given the base 4 DNA string and the choice of 20 amino acids, you will find there are not enough planck voxels in the observable universe to digitally represent them. I.e. the fact that nature found 500k to use for humans to be constructed in only a handful of billion years is profound.

It would have made more sense had the universe just been existing forever with no beginning.

No reason why those groups couldn’t be putting libraries in all their new buildings. I think the public would benefit more from ADDITIONAL libraries, particularly in underserved areas, vs replacing ones that already exist!
If you have 20,000 acres and equipment failure means you don’t harvest the last 1,000 acres before a rain that’s a problem. But for smaller farms it’s more binary where either 100% is on time or 0% is. You can bet people are more willing to let the first happen than the second.

It means absolutely nothing. Because every GPU vendor has a different notion of what a "core" is. Some count the smallest parallel execution unit as a "core" and thus boast chips with thousands of "cores", some group these smallest units into larger units and count those as a "core", which results in smaller numbers of "cores" per chip. I would guess Apple is doing the latter. I don't think that it's possible to deliver the graphics performance the M1 is delivering with just eight "cores" in terms of smallest computational units.
Your two statements about social media appear to contradict each other.

Harassment and bad tools (i.e. viral false info) are what political parties do/abuse on social media.

I think social media shouldn't allow spreading of content beyond a couple degrees of separation, like a friend of a friend. The viral-ness would stop a lot of shenanigans but that would hurt their bottom line.
> Stop putting so damn much sugar and salt into processed food

I can't express how discouraging this is, at least in the United States. The high school I graduated from had a well meaning principal that believed milk was good for you and soft drinks were bad for you. By her reasoning, chocolate milk would at least encourage the students to drink milk, and the benefits of milk would outweigh the costs of having a ton of sugar. All of the soft drinks were taken out of the vending machines and replaced with "Vitamin Water". So our cafeteria was stocked with chocolate milk, orange juice, and vitamin water. The general public seems to be completely ignorant to why this is a problem. People I care deeply about are having health problems that I can't help but feel would be alleviated if they stopped drinking diet caffeine-free soft drinks as if it were an acceptable substitute for water.
Just for reference, I've lived on our current place for 20 years or so, and it has taken absolutely every one of those years to get to a point that our 'permaculture' farm is anywhere near running efficiently.

The amount of work involved in that process is simply staggering. There are principals that can be effectively integrated to a backyard garden. But, to have as close to a self-sustaining cycle as you can, you're going to invest thousands and thousands of hours. Honestly, I have never figured up how many hours we've spent on this, just because it's a hobby and quantifying it would spoil part of it for me.
