I don't know. Leave New York. I chose to move to Chicago rather than New York after college because 1. cost of living 2. people.

The midwest is nice. New York city folks are not. I've worked at two companies where I managed or worked heavily with our New York office and hated it both times.

I realize not every New Yorker is an asshole and not everyone can leave the city on a whim but if its good for your health its worth considering.
The article in the examples for that wasn’t science, not was the following one which, though in a separate item, seems to be the same kind of thing; they were opinion essays.

The comparison to suppression of Galileo’s scientific work is nonsensical.
It sounds like there is a mistake in this tread about what being kind is. Being kind doesnt mean being agreeable to any idea and doing things for other people. If someone if asking you to do something you cant do you have the option of kindly telling them you cant do it or telling them you cant do it in a rude or mean way.

It takes effort to be kind.
I live in London, and I couldn't tell you what it's like on the tube or in shops; interesting to hear. But, probably you're also a software engineer working from home, so if it bothers you, how are you able to tell me?

I assume the large majority of tube users are the non compliant, simply because so few of the compliant have any reason to actually need to use the tube, so your 50% doesn't surprise me at all, certainly not that it's low.

Yes they have carbs, but usually not to the amount and density that most pure, cheap carby foods like rice, potatoes, yams, bread, etc tend to have. Vegetables also have higher satiation.

It's actually fairly hard to get enough protein with a vegan diet unless you're eating beans, soy and vegetable protein extract and it's easy to fall into eating a lot of carbs and vegetable oil with some vegetables for flavor.
The closest I could find to a statement that GRRM is causing harm is:

> The honest mistake has become an irresponsible error, perhaps a moral one.

Which was in the context of discussing that GRRM has explicitly said that the Dothraki were based off of real peoples.

The author does not say "GRRM is causing harm..." he says that GRRM is acting irresponsible and possibly immoral. It seems likely that the author believes that GRRM is causing harm, but he does not advance his argument that far.

> The economy is interconnected, but at the end of the day if the value of exported cotton produced by enslaved people is 5% of the economy, then the whole economy can't be singularly dependent on that industry.

I don't think I made such a claim. That said, this claim isn't correct. If the non-exported cotton was a key ingredient in the industries that make up the other 95% of exports (and the non-export economy), the economy would be dependent on that industry. Now I don't think that every aspect of the US economy was dependent on cotton, but textile exports, for example, wouldn't be included as cotton exports, and textiles used at home, wouldn't be either. So this metric does underestimate the economic impact of an industry.

> Second, whether the workers on the plantations are paid labor or enslaved people doesn't change the economic calculus for Eli Whitney. He sells cotton gins either way. Back then cotton could be, and was, produced by free labor. When the Civil War disrupted the American cotton industry, free labor in India and Australia and Egypt filled the market gap:

I agree. This doesn't change the core point: his fortune was built off of slave labor. There exist alternate timelines where it might not have been, but we don't live in those timelines. Trying to tease counterfactuals out of history isn't really good academics. The flow of history is complex enough that smart people can come to contradictory conclusion. Thus, what happened: the US cotton economy was built on the backs of slave labor. Anything else (even conjecture that I agree with, that the US economy would have been stronger sooner with less slavery as it was essentially a local maxima and prevented other forms of innovation) is conjecture.

That is a very idiosyncratic view of the struggle. At the start of the invasion, Bonaparte occupied most of Europe south of the Baltic, from Spain to Poland, and while the Russian government would doubtless have preferred to depose him, it was in no position to do so. The more conventional story is that Bonaparte wanted to force Russia into his 'continental system' of embargoing and isolating Britain.

And if you are going to claim that the rest of the information is inaccurate, you should be specific and explain your position.

You must be completely ignoring the multiple comments here, not to mention the comments in every preceding thread on HN, not to mention the comments on reddit about this game. Because that is what many are saying.

Ironically, this is the same situation as the bugs in the game: just because you're oblivious to the numerous people saying the game isn't buggy doesn't mean there aren't people saying the game isn't buggy.

8GB is plenty for most people right now. A browser won’t eat that much memory for normal sites and reasonable tab counts.

An interesting thing about the M1’s RAM limit, though, is that it literally can’t get any bigger. 16GB is pushing it, but fitting 32GB into a package-on-package simply can’t be done with our current tech. Apple is solely relying on Moore’s law for future advances because, with the way these processors are designed, external infrastructure would wreck performance.
And more fundamentally, the fact that we aren't essential pieces of the universe in our human forms (we are as energy.) Because if we were, wouldn't we be immortal? ;-)
One in around fourteen? I don't need to look anything up to know that's way off, in both countries. I doubt that can even count as 'misleading'.
> calling for the abolition of work is like calling for the abolition of death

subbing out death for aging, which is far and away the leading cause of death, I think this is a good metaphor. The first step is to persuade people that work, like aging, is bad [0], and that abolishing work is a comparatively neglected social cause relative to the harms caused.

We might have to live with work for a long time now, because scarcity abounds; but there's no point pretending that's good, or lionizing work for its own sake. It sucks to work at "a job that slowly kills you" [1], just like it sucks that we get old and die.

AMD would rather spend money on getting more capacity for the current 7nm products, that have seen a couple of years of severe shortages at launch, and gain market share. It's a problem that Apple doesn't seem to have, though maybe with desktop/server chips they might if they also start to gain market share.

I tried to use a RPi for a NAS for the same reasons... but ended up breaking down and buying a proper NAS (QNAP in my case).

And yes, you definitely get those extras. Mine also hosts a few virtual machines. The difference in speed and power is significant. But really, the bigger bonus to me is the stability. The RPi solution wasn’t nearly as stable. Yes, it costs more, but after all the extras like powered USB hubs, etc... it wasn’t that much more.
My company is migrating a huge monolith to microservices. One of the proposed benefits is that it makes end to end testing easier because each service only interacts with a couple other services, so each service will be easier to write integration tests for. But in the monolith, those services communicate over interfaces, and are currently tested as unit tests! So we're replacing unit tests with integration tests and calling that a win because our integration test coverage is higher.
I don’t disagree with what you said in your first paragraph. But taxation is not the answer. We have billions of dollars already collected for the state and federal dollars.

The first order of business is to find accountability and trim the excess and make the current dollars work. Before instituting new taxes.
Usually it isn't too quiet for me, I don't even have time to read. I used to read books on the toilet in my youth. Now it's pretty quick (early 30s.)

Plus sitting on a toilet too long gives me pins and needles in my legs. And I hear it can cause blood clots. I suppose it depends on how comfortable one's toilet is, and whether you use one of those foot stools?
I recommend using isync (aka mbsync) https://isync.sourceforge.io/ to download an offline, IMAP-style copy of your email; it seems to be faster than offlineimap http://www.offlineimap.org/ which does the same thing. Many people have it run on a simple cron job. You can then use Thunderbird etc. on your full local copy of the mailbox.

Very interesting observation. Is that the end game? An iPad Pro to rule all? It can be docked on a nice stand, powered from the mains for more performance and charging when required, docked to external monitors when needed. Now they have chip parity across the line, what stops this from happening?

> if the call option was written at fair market value.

There are several solutions to this hypothetical problem.

The parent said the owner decides the value of their premium item. The owner is claiming indifference as to whether it is sold at their chosen value or not.

If that's only fair market value (in the rest of the market), the owner is indifferent to owning the asset at all and is just inadvertently hoarding it. The economy works better for everyone if the owner is encouraged to sell to whoever values it most highly.

If the call option is called in (above the owner's valuation plus costs), an auction could be triggered, avoiding the arbitrage of first dibs.

Overall, this is a hair on the back of a nit. The law should be that you pay tax on your global wealth - avoiding and evading tax is already a choice that people make. It's nothing new.
But it’s tidally locked, so life near the terminus (but just over the horizon) could feed of the energy of the star while being shielded by the planet itself. Kinda like hydrothermal vents.
They'll presumably be the first to use each node, but that only gives them a number of months before competitors are on it. I would expect to see 5nm Ryzen before 3nm Apple Silicon.

There's also a major question about what happens with Intel. If they ever get their process advantage back then it's not clear what Apple's response is. But if they implode then AMD takes over the PC market and probably becomes TSMC's biggest customer, which could put them in a position to get on newer nodes at the same time as Apple.
Just curious, what source are you using for the citation graph? I seem to remember looking for an API to something like ACM digital library at one point and not really finding what I wanted, but maybe I just didn’t know how to look.

I love this idea btw, I’m going to use it to find some holiday reading!
This has been roughly my experience and reaction on PC as well. Save and load is annoying but not a blocker at 5-10 seconds, but I would probably be pretty miserable at 3-5 minutes per restart.

If they could just get even or ahead on EUV, which they skipped on 10nm, I think they will be just fine.
IceWM used to be the fallback window manager in some OpenSUSE installations (haven't made any for a while, so no idea whether that is still the case). If you configured your desktop environment to death or your machine was very short on memory you could still get a simple graphical session. I don't think I needed it more twice over 5-10 years.

Reading the FAQ looks like a jump 15-25 years back. They mention Windows95, xmodmap instead of XKB for example. No mentioning of 4K displays or multiple monitors. Whether that's a good or bad thing? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...

Seems very configurable without getting a resource hog. If you enjoy tweaking things on your old 1GB RAM laptop this might be for you.

I did not see that it competes to replace my i3 (tiling only), so I stay with the latter for now.
> XML, however, was universally rejected in favour of things like JSON, Yaml, HCL, Toml - all free of structure, with zero indication whether a computer would find your prose gibberish or the next Shakespeare play until you actually pushed your code to some test cluster.

There are a few fundamental differences between these languages, but it's just plain wrong to say that any of them are not "structured." Did OP mean "schema-less" instead? Because the only fundamental difference at that level is that XML has a built-in mechanism for metadata referring to a file's own schema, while in JSON (and I believe the others, even though I've used them less) the schema is not linked from within the file itself. You can still verify the schema of these languages, though, just as you could with XML. And once you've verified the schema, local code can do stricter validation to make sure things hang together properly, that values are within limits, and so on. After that, I expect modern tools like Terraform and CDK to check with the target platform that the scheduled change can be applied before trying to change anything.

That said, OP has several valid points:

- Many projects try to make a microservices architecture long before it's needed, even in projects where it might never be needed. I suspect some people think microservices are actually easier to maintain, since they are smaller pieces, but only extremely trivial or shoddy microservices will be easier to maintain than a corresponding monolith, because many things which are well-understood in a local setting are much harder to do in a highly distributed setting, simply because the infrastructure is now a bazillion separately managed pieces.

- The feedback loop can be abysmal. Without any easy alternatives to do "local cloud" deployments, having to wait for several minutes for feedback about a tiny change is frustrating in the extreme.
I have been running OwnCloud/Nextcloud for a very long time. For me, the Calendar is the killer feature. It Just Works. Everyone in the household has an account and we share calendars with each other. You can use whatever client you want (Thunderbird, Android, Apple devices) but the web UI is really excellent and easy to use as well.

My biggest gripe with Nextcloud is that upgrading between major versions is a pain and they release upgrades often. If my VPS didn't have other duties as well, I would probably switch to a hosted version.
It's a funny thing. Most of us have no trouble driving a car for an hour without any further entertainment, and letting our brains wander freely in the meantime. Most of the driving we do on auto-pilot. (Spoiler: Much of the thinking, too, actually, it turns out when you look closer during meditation).

But put the same person in an empty room and the same task of letting your mind wander becomes odious.

Odd, no?
I rode from the Preston WA area out past Cle Elum with a school trip in high school in the 90s. The Snoqualmie tunnel was a trip, especially with 90s era incandescent flashlights, where you can only see the walls of the tunnel if you stare straight ahead and use your peripheral vision.

Coincidentally, I took COVID WFH as an opportunity to spend a week in Idaho. While there, I rode both the Trail of the Coeur D'Alenes (30mi out and back for me), as well as the Hiawatha Trail which is another rail-to-trail (probably not on this proposed route, though?) which includes a 1.6 mi tunnel that's not even straight, so you can't see the light at the end.

It's amazing to me how each mode of travel has its own cadence. I've cycled along paths I've driven, and seen far more on the bike than in the car. And then I've run or walked the same path, and still seen more. It never feels like you're 'wasting time' when you're going slower.

I will probably never through-hike the AT or PCT, but I've motorcycled from California to Alaska, and will probably make it a point to take a sabbatical some day in the future to bike tour cross country with my wife when this trail is near completion. We've never done any bikepacking, but can you think of a better reason to start?

I'm not sure we have a big disagreement. These sorts of stories are stupid, but in my view, they're just not worthy of retraction because they don't break the rules or tell outright falsehoods. At least not when they're standalone stories. On the other hand, if the NYT ran a large number of stories like this, not blatantly untrue but offering too rosy a picture of the preparedness of the Finnish government as part of a big campaign to alter public opinion, that would be more of an attempt at deception, and more of a problem. I'm not sure why they'd do that, but we could point at analogous series of stories they've done over the last 30 years. (An awful lot of the NYT's behavior in the early 2000s was fairly awful, even when it was superficially within journalistic standards.)

> What if in March, a Finnish news agency had interviewed US president Trump's office and maybe US CDC Director Dr. Redfield, asked them if US has the pandemic situation in control, and after they replied yes, then ran a story "US has pandemic in control"? Would you say that's ok – after all they'd be honest about the limits of their reporting, and are just citing their sources.

Some of it is about trusting the reader. I would be disappointed in a Finnish reporter who left the US government's employee's rosy assessment unchallenged in the absence of evidence, and in a Finnish editor who decided to run the story, but in 2020, I'd be disappointed in the reader who took such claims by the US Government seriously without evidence.
Why would you sit quietly alone in a room when you could be enjoying a sauna, soaking up the sun at the beach, or picnicking in a park? I don’t think the problem is sitting alone with one’s thoughts - but rather that an indoor room isn’t a particularly desirable environment. At least it isn’t as undesirable as an airplane seat though.

Anarchism is akin to that annoying team member who wants to do a ground up rewrite of a crufty yet more or less functional codebase whilst insisting on repeating every mistake possible and developing a case of excess earwax when someone tries to talk some sense into them.

One point that I do agree with is that play is better than work as it's currently conceived for our long-term wellbeing. We should strive to make work more play-like by focusing on creativity, autonomy, and linking both to accountability for results and automating drudgery as much as we can. That's how many parts of the tech industry function and it can be carried over into other sectors of the economy too. There's no need to "abolish" work in order to do this.
The sad thing is they could do it with an animation pretty easily, it’s just not that easy to do animations.
Something tells me this 'academic' will consider himself above the game of labour when work is abolished. Surely backbreaking work is below somebody who manages to cite a philosopher every other sentence!

He's a thinker. He's too pretty to work.

I'd be willing to bet he's over-educated, has spent large periods of his life on welfare, wears a cravat to the supermarket, and was always told how clever he is.

But he never really got anywhere. Now his bank account is dry, it's 3 days until his next benefits payment, and the 'idiot' who left school at 16 to get his heavy machinery licence as a teenager makes more in an honest work year than this guy has ever had the privilege of declaring in his life.

His counsellor (or mum) is on his back to get a real job, and this is his response.

Ironically, it's never the bricklayer's labourer arguing for the abolition of work. It's types like the author, whose hands have never borne a callous.
You could organize those who want to contribute voluntarily. A tax is mandatory.

Example: We have a homelessness industrial complex in California. Our taxes go more towards paying activists and those who work with the homeless rather than building homes. The only way to get rid of homelessness is to build homes. It’s not like you can talk your way out of street living with talk therapy. While a portion need help..all of them need to be off of the streets. When California shows some results, I will consider supporting more taxation.
> CA needs income tax because the property tax situation has hobbled the government for the past five decades.

I think the "in a room" is irrelevant to the quote.

The entire idea is that people hate being alone with their thoughts and will do nearly anything to avoid being in that situation.
It won because competition was really bad. Altavista was not a good search engine.

When you were looking for something, you had to use multiple tools, like Lycos, Hot Bot, Ask Jeeves and the multitude of the web portals that were available back then.

I remember when I first saw Google, it was an instant decision and I never went back, that much was the difference in quality. Unfortunately for us, nobody found a working business model into search in time and this allowed Google to become too big for any viable competition.

> Let's all hope intel can turn things around and keep the space competitive.

Although they have a lot of work to do, I can't help but think people writing off Intel are way too keen. Intel's annual dividend is still bigger than AMD's revenue IIRC, so at worst they should be able to buy themselves out of the hole they're in.
