Believe it or not, it is possible to both have compassion for those in poverty, struggling with mental health issues, etc. AND want to avoid being mugged.

Only a ridiculously privileged and sheltered person would think these things are somehow mutually exclusive. I can hear all the hardworking immigrants in rough neighborhoods rolling their eyes.

I don't understand why some people talk as if compassion entails complete vulnerability. Seems like a lot of grandstanding.

> So long, I couldn't guess whether it was an idea that already resonated strongly with people, and media just pandered to that, or it was planted/nurtured by media.

As evidence in favor of the latter possibility, note that we have long provided government/military funding and other resources for the production of media that gives the military and "intelligence services" editorial control:

I have no information on how much time was invested in the implementation of either of the VMs. Lua has many similarities both with Smalltalk and Ruby. It has also a very powerful closure concept, which unfortunately is not yet supported by the tracing JIT.
To me fringe means has little support but still in the realm of science. In other words little support but not yet disproven.

Young earth creationism isn’t valid science and thus doesn’t even share the same reality let alone being on the fringe of reality.

"Health care in the United States is provided by many distinct organizations. Health care facilities are largely owned and operated by private sector businesses. 58% of community hospitals in the United States are non-profit, 21% are government-owned, and 21% are for-profit."

Makes me wonder, why people think it is free market healthcare?

> Also, and I'm sure you'll disagree, but how you quantify and qualify "merits" is based upon personal/cultural values. If you don't realize this you'll just argue endlessly with people over whose perspective is correct, not realizing you're both just viewing things through your own biases.

Actually I completely agree with this. The fact that I have biases and you have biases will cause us to both be wrong. It doesn't mean that we are equally wrong though.

That's a moral absolutist position.
I can’t recommend Migadu. I used them for a year, and I spent many hours dealing with delivery issues and somewhat frequent unannounced outages/upgrades which go unreported. Spam filtering is generally broken and ignores whitelists. They tend to respond to about 50% of support emails, the last one being rather petty when I left the service.

I should have seen the yearly plan fee as a sunk cost and moved on sooner. Hope this helps someone else.

“His problem was that the postcode for his east London flat was incorrect on Google Maps, so any driver using the service for navigation ended up not at his address, but in parkland at Three Mills Green, Bromley-by-Bow, half a mile away as the crow flies, but a mile and a half to drive.

What was an easily fixable error resulted in three years of frustration for Borghs, who first noticed the problem when an Uber driver took a wrong turn when taking him home.”
Plus they compounded their misstep by not publishing the spec for the new Z mount, so third-party manufacturers can't make lenses for it without reverse engineering. So the result is now not only are they behind on body tech, but you can only buy a dozen or so native lenses for Z, meanwhile the are ~150 for Sony. You can guess which system I chose to buy into.

I am having trouble finding a way to describe Facebook's behavior here besides, "evil".

They are running and maintaining the infrastructure for a modern-day Stasi, and they steadfastly refuse to do anything about it.

The targeted dissidents are regularly detained and "interrogated". How is Facebook not complicit in that, especially after they have been alerted to the abusive behavior many times? Don't their own terms of service prohibit calling for violence against individuals?

And what's to stop it from happening here?

Most people on HN are aware that the consensus, a form of argument by authority, is dark matter. It is also known that the dark matter consensus has problems despite billions spent on research over decades. When there is an experimental result that contradicts the leading theory, that is interesting and worthy of media attention. If this experimental result was only published in popular media, then I too would likely ignore it. However it was also published in a major journal. Like you said elsewhere, that doesn't mean it is right. But I think it is worthy of attention and discussion and should not be dismissed out of hand because it doesn't agree with consensus.

I started using Fastmail around a year ago.

Great web and Android apps, simple and fast. I contacted their support once and wasn't disappointed.

No issues at all until last week: they lost an incoming email (which was actually spam, as they could share with me the subject and sender info) due to a bug during an upgrade on their side. They credited my account with US $5 as apology.

This is why you shouldn’t allow easy censorship anywhere. It easy to justify with some ‘bad guys’ locally but it always ends up getting abused.

It’s a shame free speech is at such risk even in a country like the US (and long gone in the UK where they conduct night swat raids over tweets).
I've created a minimalistic Christmas Card using only HTML, CSS, and SVG
Sure! I'm using a network very similar to StyleGAN. After generating a batch, I review the images and weed out maybe 10% of the really bad ones. I was actually surprised at how well it worked.

For training, I spent a lot of time scraping images. I couldn't find any good dataset for this purpose. Controlling for quality is pretty tough, and I didn't spend nearly as much time as I should. And it's evident in the result. Some of the generated arts have pretty low pixel quality if you look at the original image. Luckily, it looks ok on the cards.
I've done Rails full time for around six years on two different teams. A big chunk of that time involved working on a codebase whose size rivaled some of the largest in the world.

Rubocop (with some tweaked rules; it's IMO too restrictive out of the box) was a big lifesaver in terms of steering both teams toward a common, readable coding style and mostly eliminating debates over style at PR review time.

Could you tell me if you’re using your own domain if you can route all emails to your domain to one inbox? I’ve been grandfathered into a free GApps account and use my own domain thru there. I’ve started signing up for services using a unique email address per domain. So hn@my.domain, reddit@my.domain, etc. I’d love to move to something non-google. But I can’t lose that functionality at this point :)
Another thing that is needed urgently is uniform pricing. Today healthcare providers charge different amounts to different insurers, and if you don't have insurance you pay list price. The list price is a arbitrary large number (often 3x the price insurers pay) that has no relation to reality. So if you don't have insurance, you are hit with a double whammy: You have to pay the bill yourself, and if that isn't bad enough, they charge you 300% of the "real" price, meaning what insurance companies pay for the same procedure.
I kind of straddle both the positives and negatives - recently pulled out my 7D from a while back and the images are fantastic even only JPG.

I don't expect to do low-light without long exposure (ie, no impromptu shots) and I do have an external flash for bounce lighting indoors.

It's still better than my iPhone (which admittedly is a couple of years old), but weight is a huge factor I only use this when intending to get really good shots. Another is the extra time it takes to transfer files, sort through bursts and put into iCloud or smugmug.

I've been on Fastmail the same amount of time. tl;dr: I encourage you to switch.

One of the be things about fastmail is they've been rolling out noticeable improvements to their web apps over the last 2 years.

I'd say the downsides, at this point, are the labels model for emails is slightly different than gmail. If you've decided you really like how labels work, Fastmail's don't work quite the same. And their contacts app isn't good. Though given the pace of improvements elsewhere, I suspect they're working on a fully-featured contacts app.

I would love smartphone postprocessing over DSLR raw images.

I feel that phones usually make better decisions for contrast, white balance, exposure than DSLRs do. With a DSLR, reaching the same finished product usually requires a ton of manual work editing photos.

Of course, the DSLR has far better detail on the pixel level, and if you need to zoom in at all, it wins in a landslide. I wish I could combine the strengths of both platforms.

Not a Facebook fan here, but this argument is like saying "Alcohol made my dad an alcoholic!" Only true in the strictest medical/chemical sense. The bottle didn't leap into dad's hand by itself. I feel bad for your family, and this happened to a few folks in mine as well, but Facebook doesn't jump into your family's brains all by itself. Users are actively installing, using it, and poisoning themselves. I think Facebook is a net negative, and should be regulated like any other harmful addictive product. But, the blame for its affects must be shared with its users.

Writing a low latency garbage collector (with decent throughput) is a non-trivial engineering problem and requires both high calibre engineers with specialized skills and a lot of funding. I fear the time lisp community has had either are long gone.

How much did the development of Azul's C4 or Oracle's Shenandoah cost in terms of money, talent and time and how much has this work lowered the barrier for less well resourced languages? I don't get the impression that the answer to this question is: "enough that we will soon see low-latency, high-throughput garbage collectors becoming the norm".
I wouldn't dismiss so quickly that it's impossible for some people to create orders of magnitude more value than others, or for that distribution to change dramatically with time. In farming, for example, increased mechanization has allowed a ~100x increase in per-worker production, and unless literally every other occupation had the same change over the same time period, that should lead to dramatic productivity differences.

The real difficulty is in deciding who "gets credit" for producing a given thing. Is the person driving the tractor really more productive, or is the tractor itself responsible for producing most of the value (return on capital)? Maybe the bank that provided the loan for the tractor is creating value? Without any of those components, the food wouldn't be grown, so there's not an obvious way to divide it into the sum of individual contributions.
So what's the point of making tools like Metaflow? Justifying salaries for their engineers I suppose?
I agree that nomenclature is just jargon. There's also the context of the parent, that senior jobs are typically available right out of university. I do not know the field the parent is in, though. In my experience of the biomedical field, this isn't the case. I'm a postdoc at a good medical school in the US, and most of the postdocs I've interacted with would happily take an industry job if they could manage it - there just aren't enough jobs to go around. The prospects for fresh Phds are even more grim.

I do the exact same thing on fastmail and it works seamlessly -- I pretty much use domain@my-address.com for every site I sign up for.

The only trick is you do have to configure configure the addresses if you want to send (not receive) mail from $recipient@your-domain.com.

I use the standard plan.
When something happens at the federal level it affects everyone. Someone in Texas who is conservative is going to be upset about a law that is forced on them that they don't like. However, if that law is only happening on CA and has no effect on them, then they don't care and they can be tolerant of it.

When something affects you personally because it is forced on you it is much harder to be tolerant.

If it only affects the people who want that law then it is much easier to just say "I do me, you do you".

Different states are supposed to have different ways of life based on different value systems. That way people can move to the states that are most in alignment with their values. Laws at the Federal level take that freedom away.
Only if it was getting closer.
We do get 3D printed parts from time to time at work: They usually need to have brass inserts put in them, which mean milling the printed holes to size too.
Since the part is fairly complex, milling the part wouldn't be that much of a time saver. I'd say 5~7 hours print-job on each, depending on the printer, milling it could be done in half that easily, but a qualified operator's time cost a fair bit more than someone keeping an eye on two (or more) printers while doing paperwork.

(As long as they don't need more than the ten pieces we get (at most) at a time at least.)
If I'm mistaken, Nikon existed the scope business earlier this year.
To me, the key question is not "what career do I want?" but "how do I want to spend my time, and in what environment?"

I work in entertainment, in LA, and the day-to-day reality is nothing like what I imagined when I started my career (and I don't like the city). If I'm being honest I spent too long falling victim to the Sunk Costs Fallacy.

https://thedecisionlab.com/biases/the-sunk-cost-fallacy/

So I've started to think about this the other way around. I want to live somewhere 1 hour from a major city, 1 hour from a national park, with all 4 seasons, with a job market that has lots of interesting opportunities. My career will simply be secondary to that.
I’d say they’re more of a regressive tax since people at the middle to higher-end cash make great use of credit card benefits and people at the low-end often get caught up in the trap of high interest rates.

The increasing share of GDP going to finance & tech makes sense if you posit that the economically rational thing to do is to destroy the economy and rebuild it. Tech is the industry focused on rebuilding it; finance is the industry focused on redirecting resources away from the old economy and into the new one.

Most humans have an aversion to death and destruction: we get attached to people, institutions, ideas, employers, basically things that we can count on existing. Economics doesn't care though. If a new way of doing things is more efficient than the old, the market will select for the new way, regardless of the human suffering it causes. And since most humans are averse to causing suffering, they won't be willing to capitalize on this opportunity, which leaves large opportunities available to those who say "To hell with institutions, there's a more efficient way and I'm going to bring it to the masses." They (and the SWEs, SREs, UX, data scientists, etc. who help them) then reap large windfalls as they cannibalize large portions of the economy and throw the now-useless workers out of work.

This model explains nearly everything about the past decade. The downside is that it suggests that "revolution" - rather than being an angry but illogical reaction of a few disgruntled workers - is actually an inevitable consequence of the destruction of the old society. Political systems are embedded in the economic realities that birthed them; change economic reality and the economically rational outcome is for those political systems to fall. The same thing happened as industrialization destroyed feudal empires and ushered in the era of nationalism.
