You say that, but there are certainly Ryzen 7 laptop models around in the sub-$1k range. People like HP put their mid-ranges together with AMD chips on the basis that Intel's were the premium ones.

Now, these models do exist, in theory. I challenge you to find any stock, though, and that's going to hurt AMD.

It's likely a preliminary filter to the audience. "If you don't think qanon is a problem and don't want to hear me talk about reasons why people believe it, stop reading".

Personally, I don't think it's a problem. But I skimmed a little farther and it looks like this chap is trying to stem what he believes to be a wave of misinformation.

I think societies that obsess over misinformation will likely collapse eventually and I'm not particularly interested in fragile societies so unless we get extinction out of this I'm not wedded to the idea that individual people can save us all.

>20% time is dead. There is no second hose. They've mostly given up on the idea of a clever person finding a new money-hose. They just focus on the one they have now.

Isn't that how they've always operated? Gmail was launched in 2004 and that sure wasn't a money-hose. But it did serve as yet another platform to support their money-hose since they could scan your emails and serve you ads.

It's really only a recent change to actually monetise Gmail beyond ads. They sell it as part of G Suite and as part of Google One. Not sure if Google One brings in the dough but surely G Suite makes enough to justify its existence.

An apology from a publicly traded capitalist corporation can never hold any meaning anyway. Literally everything they do is designed to maximize profit at the expense of anything else. If Microsoft had a magic box with a button on it that said "If you press this, ten million innocent people will die, but nobody will ever find out and the company will make a dollar for every one" they would have a legal obligation to their shareholders to press it.

A corporation can't do something, people do things. Nobody at Microsoft cares they put out surveillance software, they just estimated their was enough outrage that pulling it was more profitable than leaving it out.
A seatbelt might strangle you in one in a million crashes, but colloquially, we can all agree that seatbelts are safe.

No drug is safe, but in this case, not taking a drug is not safe. If it's safe enough to vaccinate 15,000 people, when 300 of them are expected to die without vaccination, it's incredibly unlikely that side effects discovered on 1 billion people will not make the vaccine the safe choice.
From the blog:

> I am here to tell you that the reason so much of the world seems incomprehensible is that it is incomprehensible.

This statement rubs me the wrong way, in a similar fashion to what you've pointed out. All of the world's systems and technologies haven't been able to be understood by one human for (most likely) a very long time now.

The world is incredibly complex, but at this point in history I can go and learn about pretty much all of it whenever I want. By definition that means it is very comprehensible. It just isn't practical for me to do so.

Modern scale as you've pointed out, and speed at which things are expected to happen to keep that modern scale going, are the bigger factors I think.
It is guaranteed arbitrage. There is no risk to the lender, and the only risk to the person that initiated the transaction is that slippage will occur that makes the trade unprofitable, which would cause the transaction to revert, which would cause them to lose the transaction fee for having attempted the transaction.

The markets are not currently too efficient for that, and never will be. In fact Uniswap’s entire design depends heavily on arbitrageurs balancing out the markets between itself and other exchanges.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I still don't understand.

Everything is great on Windows to pick files/folders.

From the linux command-line, I like fzf ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf ), that you can instruct to use the faster fd ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#environment-variables ). Fzf even offers keybindings for your shell. For example, it binds Alt+C to fuzzy-finding a directory, and Enter cds to it ( https://github.com/junegunn/fzf#key-bindings-for-command-lin... ).

Fzf is great for other things too; here is a fish function to bing Alt+G to fuzzy-pick a Git branch and jump to it:

function fish_user_key_bindings
bind \eg 'test -d .git; or git rev-parse --git-dir > /dev/null 2>&1; and git checkout (string trim -- (git branch | fzf)); and commandline -f repaint'
bind \eG 'test -d .git; or git rev-parse --git-dir > /dev/null 2>&1; and git checkout (string trim -- (git branch --all | fzf)); and commandline -f repaint'
end

> That is so amazingly blatant, they are not even trying to spin this.

Their honesty is like a breath of fresh fair. If it was germany/europe or silicon valley, they would have rephrased "anti-state content" as "anti-democracy content". And a bunch of people here would be celebrating and praising it.

#1 and #3 is pretty much a copy of HN guidelines or the censorship rules on most social media.

Also you got to hand it to aljazeera. They support "silencing the internet" like most news organizations but of course wouldn't accuse themselves or their fellow propaganda organizations of doing so. Their "silencing" is more benign. It's for the good of the people...
> If you feel rejected by your society, a bridge to another society might help.

While I understand you're trying to be helpful, what you need to understand is that suicidal ideation and "feeling rejected by your society" are not synonymous. There can be a relationship, sure- but suicide, by and large, comes from a mentality where the victim legitimately believes they will not ever be happy enough in the future to counter-balance the pain that's consuming them in the present. In their despair, they truly believe that suicide is the only way they can end the suffering. In their minds, this is quite literally their only hope. To say that this is caused by feeling rejected by society is extremely narrow, so please be aware of that.

This having been said, trying to begin a relationship while in the throes of depression is not a good idea. If you can't love yourself, it sows the seeds for a highly unhealthy dependent or codependent relationship- even someone who isn't actively considering ending their life can't thrive like that.

Finally, consider this: let's say the person using this app is indeed suicidal because they feel like they've been rejected by society- dating apps are infamous for short-lived relationships, rejection, and predatory subscription models (search hn and you will find any number of threads discussing this last one). Even if this is a truly altruistic service without a predatory subscription model, what do you think someone who is in the depths of despair will do if they're rejected by a community that markets itself as a haven for the rejected? If they weren't at the very edge of suicide before, how much closer did they just get pushed?

In short, be aware that there's a fair bit more going on than "maybe they feel lonely." I suspect this approach would do more harm than good.
Right now these dishes are most likely completely overdesigned on the high-end RF scale. Unless Elon is repeating his stupidity of hiring a idiot of a consultant like they did for the Model 3 body (and eventually fired when made look bad by that reverse engineering firm).
The design should get cost reduced in the future once they have enough field feedback over RF performance/behavior.
Why would there workers in the towers?

I assumed that in 2020 we have unmanned solutions to taking something down, and then rebuilding would be done with proper engineering as if it were a new radio telescope but the dish is already built for you.
Ask HN: How does your org deal with supply chain risk?
I can share 2 examples that I encountered.

The first in the technical domain: a pentest finding in a previous project. We were using pip with requirements.txt files. Since this doesn’t include Python package hashes a compromised mirror or DNS poisoning could lead to malicious code being executed in our build pipeline. Recommendation was to move to pyenv and a Pipfile.lock because it does support hashes and also provides deterministic dependencies.

The 2nd is a fascinating example in the administrative domain that I stumbled upon while looking for something else. It’s NASA Glenn Research Center trying to perform Country of Origin Verification of OSS software. Apparently the Octave [0], Cygwin [1] and GIMP [2] mailing lists were fortunate enough to be included in this process. Given the timespan between the posts this seems to be taken rather seriously. I also found the likely reason in [3]: since 2019 they have a new supply chain risk management proces. Slide 10 gives some additional background.

Can you share how supply chain risks are mitigated in your organization by either technical and/or administrative controls?

There was a time, not long ago, when a person could wonder about something that is well understood, try for an hour to get the answer, fail, and give up.

Now with every passing month the set of known things that are hard to find out gets smaller and smaller.

Or even the set of speculative things.

Unfortunately the skewed motivations of academia make rebuilding this instrument less attractive to scientists.

If you build a new and very different instrument you can churn out a lot of papers picking the long hanging fruit on the new instrument (just whatever you discover as soon as you turn it on), you can churn out a lot of papers about the technical challenges that come up in a new and different instrument.

A well understood, well established instrument type is more valuable for verifying results and discovering the things that take decades of consistent observations. ... but these don't generate many publications.
It's not meant to be a strict statement. At the same time, based on my personal experience and discussions with colleagues at work (with many remote), broadband access in the US tends to be relatively expensive.

The exception to that seems to be where fiber is available, but a lot of the US, even in areas where the population density is similar to Europe, don't have fiber available.
Being "well diversified" is subjective. But in freelance/contracting, the rule of thumb is to never have a customer account for more than 25% of your yearly income. You diversify your client base so when one walks away, it's never too big of a hit.

Ads make up 80% of their revenue. That's not diversified. That's an ad company that dabbles in other things. If Shell or BP's revenue was 80% oil and 20% solar, wouldn't you still call them oil companies that dabble in solar?

> For css this is the best explanation that I can find

My take away from reading that article is that the author completely misses the fundamental concepts of CSS and only ever tried to use tools to generate it.

I realize that in the pursuit of high performance websites, it's been recommended to avoid complex CSS selectors but, beyond that, the author chooses to style each element individually. I kept reading hoping for him to have an "Ah-ha!" moment but instead he just finds different ways to bang his head on the table.

Or you could raise them to adulthood and consume them for meat. Once a cow or hen passes the age for producing milk or eggs, they are often sacrificed.

The issue is that mass manufacture of meat has led to many bulls being killed at birth, because it's resource inefficient to raise them to adulthood. That's where we went wrong.

Is the surveillance part the problem or the scoring of productivity? I am pretty sure most employers have the ability to log information like what was mentioned here. It's just that they don't use it for measuring productivity due to the obvious flaw that it can be hacked if employees know about it. Most companies use this type of information only when the employee is suspect of leaks or misconduct eg Google has used logged data as evidence against Anthony Levandowski of the data he transferred. Slack gives administrators most of the data for the type it was mentioned in the article.

Are you sure that your employer hasn't installed any custom software/antivirus in your work device? Likely they have.

I'm interested in developing microservices that communicate over a message bus because I find that topic interesting currently. I would not like to have a leading role.

Alternatively, boring is good too. Boring being the stuff I do day in day out since at least 16 years ago - full stack, frontend or backend development.

No "DevOps". Aka I'm not interested in managing infrastructure and other people's deployments.

I like to "keep it simple stupid", because from experience, maintainable code is "dumb" code.

Thank you for reading
Speaking solely to your first paragraph here, I've seen this sentiment expressed before, and it always strikes me as off in some way. I've not committed a lot of thought to the topic until recently, so apologies if my thoughts here are muddled or unclear.

I can pretty easily convince myself that a lot of what I'll call "smaller" bad deeds are primarily deterred by the threat of consequences: I never shoplifted a candy bar because it wasn't worth the perceived consequences. But I have a substantially harder time convincing myself that most people don't commit "grander" crimes largely because of a similar fear. Taking murder as the example and myself as a case study, I cannot fathom committing a murder because it feels wrong, there is a part of my mind that recoils at just the thought of it. Is that because the potential consequences of that act are ingrained into my psyche, or is there another reason? I'm inclined toward the latter, certainly. Not to mention that punishments geared toward deterrence often seem to not prevent murder from occurring.

I don't have any grand insights here, just sharing my observations on the topic, as it's come up surprisingly often recently in my experience on the internet.
It's in practice impossible to change a mathematical convention so deeply embedded as π. So even though a lot of mathematicians 'take it seriously' in the sense of agreeing that τ is the more fundamental concept, none 'take it seriously' in the sense of actually using it in public mathematics.
