Coming from a rural area I think the ignorance goes both ways - hence the overly broad “coastal elite” narrative. I have adult family members that didn’t even realize institutional poverty (ie working poor) existed in cities because they only ever visited the more touristy areas.
I miss my Blue Dalmatian iMac.
That's a very simplistic statement. That's like saying IA-64 was over-engineered. It's completely unhelpful unless you can articulate in which ways it is over-engineered and propose a practical alternative.

I take my hat off to the AMD folks that brought us x86_64. I challenge you to design a successor to IPv4 that is better than IPv6. Put it out there and let the world start taking shots at it. We'll see how well it holds up.

There is plenty of opportunity for a better idea to catch on. Just like x86_64 succeeded despite the existence of IA-64. IPv6 has been so poorly adopted that it is not too late to retreat.

But it would take a lot more than lazy criticism to find a workable path forward.
That's fair, I've not been exposed to people with RSIs that use these smaller keyboards. Most people I know with RSIs opt for the Microsoft ergonomic keyboards (The new ones are actually kind of cool looking!)

I'm glad it's working out for you, and I'll certainly sneer a little bit less at them in the future, but just using my anecdotal experience, a lot of RSIs make chording keys difficult, and most people who use small form factor keyboards say they do so because it makes their desk less cluttered. Maybe it's not just a fashion item... But for a certain segment, it certainly is.
It's a mistaken position to believe sharing "how to" information somehow mints cybercriminals; however, this is the position YouTube has repeatedly and is increasingly taking with striking innocent content creators sharing information about how security vulnerabilities work and how to test for them.

This type of content is widely available on mainstream online blog sites, in published books, and through established, expensive training outfits like the SANS Institute. YouTube has really missed the mark thinking there are real risks they are mitigating by culling it out from their platform.

This is an editorial decision by YouTube on what they want to groom YouTube's community to be, not a content decision based on sound public policy or realistic threat models.
I would love to see this as a blog post, instead of a string of 30+ tweets...

This seems roughly inline with inflation, which is about 2x over 1995-2020. Health and eduaction outpace this likely because of the extra focus on their importance. Meanwhile a lot of things have gotten significantly cheaper on a relative basis and the markets have done closer to between 5x and 7x returns. Talking about this in absolute terms is pointless and I believe the author knows it, but it doesn't help his narative.

Vox did a video on this several years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9D420SOmL6U

I recently did a rewatch of older Simpsons episodes lately and aside from the 90s references a lot of the economic conditions seems incredibly outdated. Much like watching Friends or even more "recent" shows like How I Met Your Mother (HIMYM) where the characters undergo their lives in a big expensive city but not work constantly.

It's hard to suspend belief on those shows given the shenanigans they do. How on earth did they live in that apartment (Friends/HIMYM), or live in such a large single family home on one income? The shows end up having to address their own disbelief with rent control (Friends) or the Frank Grimes episode (The Simpsons).
My experience and the experience of some friends of mine has been that questioning as much more stringent entering the US than leaving the US.

in fact, I have a friend who took a day trip to Canada with no problem and then, upon attempting to reenter the United States, was blocked because she had not brought her passport. Canadian authorities had accepted her driver's license as sufficient proof of identity for entering their country; US authorities would not accept it for reentering her home country.
The fact that the most desperate of the 99% will take the 1%'s money to oppress the rest of the 99% has something to do with it. Put another way, I never once met a cop from the 1%.

I might be wrong (I've only used Linux since 2001) but I never felt Linus or Linux set out to destroy something but rather first to try out what was possible and later to enable more and more.
> It's always interesting to see research perspectives on this. I think there's considerable room for improvement, especially given that current translation tech doesn't take into account things like panel layout, horizontal/vertical layout of text, different typeface use, hand-written vs. typeset text, and mixed katakana/hiragana/kanji usage - all things that an author may use to convey tone, implicitly identify the speaker, or add subtext. There are also things with no equivalent in English literature/comics whatsoever, like using furigana to attach a second reading (or dual meaning) to a word.

I also can't imagine how it would deal with the idiosyncratic, occasional-nonsensical English that some manga-ka's like to sneak into their work:

I commit the tangled results so that I can use Stow directly on other computers. But this could be easily automated with a script (since you can tangle without opening emacs directly, or within the org file itself!) to tangle after any update, or even to pull in changes if you make them to the file directly. For example, you could have a hook so that on saving the org file it tangles to update any files, or on opening pull in changes you made directly in the result file (e.g. not in the org file directly). I saw some links on this but unfortunately don't have them handy. I'm sure they will come up with some searching, but let me know if you can't find anything.
Best practice most likely wasn't good enough back when the original text was written. But yeah, they should have made it a bit more future-proof, and they definitely shouldn't have copy/pasted the text into new treaties 12 years later.
Store sites tend to be less reliable than Google. Just last night I was searching one and the website had been out of date for months and yet Google had it right.

It is indeed a hard problem. For Hacker News I've made the assumption that I can trust the HN community to find the best posts, so they're the filter. I only sort on the score of all posts in a single day and show the posts with a score of 100+.

Most posts with 100+ points are at least somewhat interesting and I only have to do the manual filtering to find the few posts I want to read once a day.
What you refer to as "bad luck" is really a system that (perhaps inadvertently) overly penalizes people with limited income.

There are a lot of incidental costs associated in life that those of us with savings, and or good incomes can absorb. For those without savings and/or limited income, it becomes a game of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
Taking care of older people is very expensive right now. The majority of health care costs are for end of life care in the developed world. Those costs are going to increase as the largest generation ever (the baby boomers) approaches the point in their lives where they need to access that care.

The birth rate in the developed world is way below replacement, so unless we import workers through immigration, there will be fewer workers to take care of the previous generation.
The last time I built something with a small display, the CPU-and-on-board-RAM combo didn't have enough room for a framebuffer. But it did have multiple cores, and each of those had multiple hardware-multiplexed threads for real-time processing. Most of the threads were devoted to audio DSP and maxed out.

It was fun developing a little algorithm to stream out full rendered frames in real time, bit-banging 16-bit colour over SPI at its max frequency, while rendering and compositing from an object tree with fonts, textures, gradients, blending etc without ever storing more than a few scan lines worth of pixels. Intermediate pixels and blending states were stored in an ever-moving queue to account for multi-pass rendering and the different timing between the rendering thread, which blended in each item at whatever speed could be done, and the bit-banging SPI thread which formatted the pixels into the strange bit order needed by the display. The bit-banging thread needed perfect, sustained timing as a single glitch would crash the display.

When all the complications were working perfectly, it just looked like a mundane but smoothly animating display, as if it had a boring GPU and framebuffer and some kind of clean GUI.
> Having underlying health conditions that make you less likely to survive COVID-19 does not mean that you were not killed by COVID-19.

Dying is not "underlying health condition". Immune system collapse is happening before COVID-19 takes hold. If not for COVID, they would die from legionella, hospital infection, gum bacteria, flu, own E.coli and thousands of other causes.

This is not my personal opinion, this is from report of medical representative in front of relevant Israeli parlament commission.

Sometimes they don't exist - who maintains a sufficiently reputable list of safe email clients and web browsers?

Sometimes they exist but they carry some baggage - the FIPS standards for cryptography are probably fine, certainly better than hardcoding a couple of algorithm names, but they're also controlled by a foreign government.
I'm not an Apple fan, probably more of an Apple hater, but why is Apple the bad guy for seeking cheaper labor? Why is it the consumers problem that China allows it's citizens to be treated like shit? Why is this ethical responsibility somehow always offloaded to the consumer?
It's pretty dishonest to put all kinds of video games in the same bucket and then make sweeping generalizations about their health impact.
I don’t know where the revenue is, but it’s worth noting a significant amount of alcohol advertising is spent on cheap beer.
>no benefits from a PR standpoint

Maybe not in your circles, but Americans are sick of everything being made in China and Apple could afford to do it here if there were public pressure for them to do so.
Ancedotal experience the 2 alcoholics I know and have hung out with in the under 35 age group drank the cheapest of the cheap. 1 a 30 pack of natty light a day, the other a bottle of drive thru tequila 20% abv a night. The tequila drinker was clearing 70k a year as a nurse living at his mom's in small town midwest so he could have afforded finer spirits
Immediately? It's been going on for years. Why now?
> you will find people in the trades who do OK, some with help from a union, some not.

I doubt it, based on retirement saving statistics, opiate addiction statistics, and healthcare related financial issues.

People on and off the coasts don’t have sufficient retirement savings, emergency savings, nor income security especially when they hit years 50 to 65 (soon to be 70 as social security and Medicare ages rise).

People in the trades might be doing fine if you ignore the health costs associated with driving long distances and manual labor, especially ones that rear their head in people’s 50s.
The refused recommendation is "lowering the limit for alcoholic beverages for men to one drink per day from two, matching the guidance for women". With sugar, they left 10% of calories intake refusing to change it to 6% od calories intake.

Hardly an outrage that recommended make alcohol consumption stayed the same instead of being the same as female one. I am quite feminist and still ... like ... admit that average malé body and female body are not perfectly equal when it comes to alcohol.
Yes, of course, except that the decision-making has shifted towards priorities that do not benefit the customer, though they used to.

I have no interest in seeing where the nearest McDonalds is, unless I search for it. POI markers for places I need to go (via bookings/appointments) are good, but POIs for places I have never been are bad.

For whatever reason I can never see the street name I want to see anymore. Between the excessive labelling, there is simply no space, and Maps decides to prioritise other labels instead of the STREET NAME.

When I am navigating, I really _really_ need to know the street name.
I'd rather punch myself in the face than fly Spirit again. (They're as safe as any other US airline; they just operate like a worse-Ryanair.)

Not only alcohol but also gambling, mobile gaming (with micropayments), and many other ”fun” pastimes with addictive qualities have the exact same distribution.
Author here - The background of 'emacs-ng' is to add new features to emacs utilizing different tools and techniques, including Rust. This update integrates the Deno runtime, allowing us to run javascript and leverage async I/O within emacs.

While I love elisp, I understand it's not for everyone, so I thought this would allow people to customize the editor with a language they are a little more familiar with. Future plans include integrating Typescript.

Well I'm wrong. It's not for the housing prices, but it's still comparing to an inflation adjusted salary. The point is that if you make the same as Homer did (inflation adjusted) you have far spending power than he did.

Statistically speaking, they are after hardly anyone.

But they have an obvious vested interest in having sufficient data to track the motions of anyone, because they can't know a-priori who is involved in an activity harmful to the interests of the United States of America until they have evidence an activity has happened or will happen and need to begin connecting the dots to identify the pattern.

You can't connect dots you don't have. Most of the NSA's behavior can be understood as maximizing their dots.

Looks like he started a channel on a Peertube server, but it has nothing on it yet. I hope he has a backup of all his videos.

ALWAYS HAVE A LOCAL BACKUP of all the content you upload to other services. Facebook is not your photo backup. All your stuff could disappear off Google tomorrow. The cloud is literally someone else's computer.

The biggest takeaway for all YouToobers is to organize all their videos in a manor that they can upload them to a new place when (not if) the time comes.

YouTube is going to become a dinosaur in a few years. I don't see people finding meaningful content on it with the shit they keep pulling.
That is the nature of something being routine.
one of the key questions is that who sponsored this study, e.g. if the gaming industry is sponsoring this kind of study it got to be biased and misleading to say the least.

I would expect people to live until they got bored.

I don't have the exact number, but without aging, we'd statistically only live until ~1000 on average before getting hit by a bus or choking on a bite of steak.
It might be interesting to do some experiments that audiologists don’t do. In particular, music recognition, like recognizing the difference between major and minor chords.

In addition to my normal hearing loss, I sometimes have trouble with this in one ear. Fortunately it has always gone away, so far.

I suspect that some amount of this is your brain adapting to changes in hearing. Perhaps there is some way to study how people adjust to wearing new hearing aids?
I thought that the point of vaccinating essential workers first is that they are those that are more likely to spread the virus so by starting with them you stop the virus before it reaches the seniors.

Depending on the factors (% of seniors vs. essential workers, availability of vaccine) I can see either approach being more effective.
No one listens to government "guidelines" in private life. They could easily add alcohol and sugar to the list and it wouldn't effect behavior at all.
The statement being nothing more than Microsoft didn't want to spend $$ on their own browser engine.

Just because Microsoft has a ton of money it doesn't mean that every project they work on and every team in the company have unlimited budget.

And even if that was the case for their browser engine team, the project might stop for other reasons too - e.g. internal politics, changes in focus/goals, etc.

It isn't like Microsoft (or any big company really) doesn't drop projects that people wouldn't expect them to drop.

There's a pretty popular theory that the advances in forensics and the prevalence of surveillance cameras are a driving factor in the reduction of crime. Even stuff like kids having a cell phone to call police or track their location could be a mitigating factor.

I do agree that there are still many easy marks. I think the advancement of the aforementioned technologies and the parent comment's point about parents in general being more cautious removes many of the opportunity for certain crimes, or at least to get away with them.
The CCP is currently committing a genocide. The UN even declared such [1].

From Wikipedia:

“Traditional Inuit diets derive approximately 50% of their calories from fat, 30–35% from protein and 15–20% of their calories from carbohydrates, largely in the form of glycogen from the raw meat they consumed.

This high fat content provides valuable energy and prevents protein poisoning, which historically was sometimes a problem in late winter when game animals grew lean through winter starvation.

It has been suggested that because the fats of the Inuit's wild-caught game are largely monounsaturated and rich in omega-3 fatty acids, the diet does not pose the same health risks as a typical Western high-fat diet.

However, actual evidence has shown that Inuit have a similar prevalence of coronary artery disease as non-Inuit populations and they have excessive mortality due to cerebrovascular strokes, with twice the risk to that of the North American population.

Indeed, the cardiovascular risk of this diet is so severe that the addition of a more standard American diet has reduced the incidence of mortality in the Inuit population.

From the same report:

> The small, non-random sample and short median follow-up time limits the interpretation of these results. There appears to be some protection against COVID-19 disease following one dose; however, these data do not provide sufficient information about longer term protection beyond 28 days after a single dose.

Obviously it'd be great if we can just dose everyone we can once then do a 2nd dose later, but we just don't know enough about how well that would work out long term.
