Maybe that style of dry humor is off-putting and associated with a specific age to you, but I find it to be timeless.

The author's in her mid 30s, and there are numerous other older people who use a similar sardonic wry sense of humor well, from David Sedaris to the kindhearted kvetching of old jewish grandmothers.

What you're doing with this comment is both similar and different. You're effectively saying "Well, I don't like it because I'm more mature; I can recognize that there's a grain of truth in her self-depreciation, and by recognizing that, I'm better than her". Effectively, you're aggrandizing yourself in the same way you accuse her of doing so, but without any of the humor.

is also very helpful for this purpose: it automatically guesses what modulation signals use and their symbol rate, then decodes them live—basically ending up like the "Demod'd Bits" column. It isn't 433MHz only, either, you can add a -f flag, like -f 350M to look around 350MHz.

In my experience education has been defunded for decades while wealth inequality has been exacerbated. One only has to look at the fact that the inheritance tax is indexed to inflation, while the minimum wage and teacher expense deduction aren't to understand where our national priorities are. I'm not willing to say "a high quality education for all just isn’t possible" until we've invested equivalent resources into education as waging war. Imagine if our education budget was $700 billion annually. What could be possible?
Amazing! Thank you for digging!

I can see where the poster got confused, the powerpoint slides have some sloppy logic. Though whether that’s because of the people or because of the loose thinking caused by slides, or both, is hard to say.
Except you're spreading FUD about a huge trove of information without any specific reference to how or why the information is suspect. The only actual reasons you mention as to why this information is untrustworthy is that it's hurtful to US government agencies.
From the follow up:

> IP mobility is what we do, in a small way, with Tailscale’s WireGuard connections. We try all your Internet links, IPv4 and IPv6, UDP and TCP

From the wireguard website[0]:

> WireGuard explicitly does not support tunneling over TCP, due to the classically terrible network performance of tunneling TCP-over-TCP. Rather, transforming WireGuard's UDP packets into TCP is the job of an upper layer of obfuscation (see previous point), and can be accomplished by projects like udptunnel and udp2raw.

I assume this means Tailscale has their own client where they’ve bolted this on themselves?

A 2 story w/basement 4 bed 2 bath is not going for $100k in 2010. Doesn't matter how shitty. That was the writers trying to pull a fast one. That is easily 150k-200k. If it's a good neighborhood (meaning safe, homogenous cultural understanding), 200k is more spot on.

In my midwest town, unless that was built 100 years ago, no way it's being less than that. Doesn't even matter if it was lead paint or vinyl siding. That home homer lived in was the exception, by far the rule.
> If Wikileaks treats all leaks as equal then I don't see how this argument holds water.

To be absolutely clear: I don't have any reason to doubt the motivations of Wikileaks' current leadership. I also genuinely believe that they treat all leaks as "equal," in the sense that they believe in the absolute freedom of information and are liable to (eventually) release everything that they're given.

The observation is tantamount to the tragedy of the commons: give malicious actors unlimited means under an ostensibly just principle, and your principle will be monopolized for malicious ends or used to subvert itself.

But that doesn't mean that we shouldn't have commons, or that I want to live in a world without Wikileaks. It's just an admonishment to be aware of a risk inherent in "neutral" venues.

Google maps started from a position of being better and snappier than (then) Nokia maps. Today, it's almost impossible to use google maps while driving, the UI is simply unusable unless you can devote your 100% attention to it, and even then the results may vary. On the other hand, Here maps (former Nokia maps) has gotten better.

Oh, and my favourite google maps feature, announce the instruction to turn left or right while YOU STILL HAVEN'T PASSED the previous street intersection!
I agree completely. The more information, the better.

Homer's job, as depicted, would pay a lot more than 25k. The article is based off a single frame of the show like 25 years ago. The writers/animators likely didn't mean to establish his cannon salary.

No way that sort of union job would pay under 50k no matter where you lived.
I’d really like to see a similar study comparing modern military combat video game playing with attitudes about war and overseas military occupation and invasion.

The US military partners with games like Call of Duty and uses them as recruitment tools. I’d be surprised if they didn’t contribute to a sense of dehumanization of our proclaimed enemies.
That's really funny to me. I saw this article yesterday being raved about on foodie Twitter, but didn't try submitting to HN because I figured many users might be a little annoyed by not only a food story, but one that takes 1,200 words (i.e. the length of "Part 1: The Mystery") before getting to the chase. A 1,200 word scene-setting intro is a lot for any kind of reader so it's a testament to the author's skill that it's entertaining enough to keep readers' attention.
No reason that women can't accomplish important things, the problem is that feminism pushed the false narrative that men and women are equal across the board, this is obviously a fallacious and dangerous premise, and now society is paying the price. They also brainwashed people that any criticism of their toxic ideas is automatically labeled as "misogynistic", "patriarchal" and "authoritarian", etc. Add to that the notion of equality of outcome (instead of equality of opportunity), and we see what it leads to.
Mi 11 won’t come with charger after Xiaomi mocked Apple for not including it
> In [the place of SCSI, ADB, and serial] was a new connection standard that had been introduced on the PC side, but not yet embraced: the Universal Serial Bus, or USB. To be fair, while Apple killed off three ports that had defined the Mac for more than a decade, it replaced them with a standard that’s still kicking more than two decades later. (Marvel for a moment about the fact that I can take an original iMac keyboard and plug it into an M1 Mac Mini and… it’ll just work!)

Typing this from an M1 MacBook Air, I had to laugh and do a double take that they had to specify an M1 Mac Mini, since it's the only one with a USB type-A port :) But yeah, the longevity of USB-A is amazing.

You and the previous poster seem to ignore that the punishment is just (to the extent that the criminal justice system is capable of justice).

It's not like they're forced to work; and if they take the option, they're still under punishment doled by the justice system. So it's not immoral forced labor as long as neither the work or the jail cell constitutes "cruel and unusual punishment".
I went through the same journey and never built on Google Map APIs ever again. The unreliability hurt more than the money. There's something pure about using a capitalistic API (e.g. AWS, Stripe, Twilio) where you know they're making a good buck off your usage, whereas with Google it felt like a side business that they'd change on a whim.

I feel similarly about brokerage accounts that are upfront about charging a transaction fee or checking accounts that have a clear minimum or fee. When it's "free", I'm always scared that I'll end up paying another way and what I'm relying on will get washed away.
Acts and regulations (to use the UK legal parlance) perform different functions. Legislators will write a law (primary legislation) via an Act (of parliament) and powers are delegated to a regulator (or minister) who will then set regulations (secondary legislation) that fit within the power of the Act.

The secondary legislation is the bit that can be updated without requiring a new Act. If EU law is set up in the same manner, (and no doubt it will be similar as not only is this method good when meeting the ideal but useful for corrupt politicians to write law with less scrutiny) then the copy and paste is from secondary legislation. It may well need an update but that doesn't mean it can't be updated in the manner you advocate.

You borrowed $22.5k per year ($90k/4) and ended up with $30k in interest by the time you graduated with a 4 year degree? Federal loans don't charge you interest until you graduate.

The numbers you are using would need to be a loan at 20% interest with interest charged from the very beginning. Were you using credit cards to borrow money for school?
Surely he was taking the piss. Not even a journalist could be that stupid.
Forced labor is quite prevalent as state-sactioned punishment, and it is much better than other kinds of punishment that exist. I don't have problem with that, that's one way how legal system pays for itself rather than siphoning fund from tax-payers' money. The difficult part for me was how opaque the process is, how the Chinese government just put people in those "camps" without due process. It is worrisome and frankly quite terrifying.
Betteridge's law came to mind when I saw the headline, especially when "We" is taken to mean Conde Nast and the traditional, gatekeeper media.
I wonder how they define "aggressive behavior." In learning about and practicing nonviolent communication, I've come to realize there's a lot of normalized behaviors out there in terms of interpersonal interactions, but without physical violence or even the threat of it.

Someone who's choosing to ostracize another person within a social group is a bit more covert and difficult to detect. Is this considered "aggressive behavior"? This is one example of a type of behavior that I'd consider to be aggressive and likely not fitting the definition of the study. There are many others out there. And I'm betting some of them are impacted by the games.

Why? Because I'm recovering from gaming/media addiction and I would adopt behaviors and lines from things I played/watched to use in real life.

I'm waiting for the study that actually detects me and people like me. I suspect it'll take about as long as the tobacco industry took to conduct and release studies showing tobacco can cause cancer.

Why even bother having a scientific advisory committee then?
If only we could conduct a similar study to understand why criminals (yes - individuals with intent to commit violent acts or felonies) overwhelmingly prefer stolen serialized firearms to 80% "ghost guns"?

A curious compromise could be agreeing to defund and dissolve both the ATF and ICE. Constitutionally, both are "unnecessary" and infringe on the rights of citizens.

Well, also the UK had to keep paying in during the transition period.

> negotiations on this agreement didn't start (and couldn't legally begin)

This could have easily been worked around had there been any (good) will in Brussels (or more importantly in the washing machine!)... but there wasn't. Certainly the UK government at the time were desperate to negotiate everything in one go since, as the saying goes, "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed".

If the withdrawal agreement had been 2 years we can be sure it would have taken precisely 2 years to compile the agreement.
The numbers in here are a bit scattered and tell a bizarre story because some are inflation adjusted and some aren't. The one that set this rant off was the super misleading housing numbers.

From 1996 to 2019 (the article uses a mix of 2019 and 2020 figures), inflation boosts prices 1.63x.

Homer's $25k 1996 income would be $40.75k in 2019 ($41.5 today). That puts them at the 30th percentile of household income and him the 36th percentile of individual income today [0].

For the house affordability the Q3 2019 vs Q3 1996 median house price increased 2.27x [3]. After adjusting for 1.63x inflation, it's 1.4x more expensive.

But mortgages are way cheaper today. The 1996 December average mortgage interest rates was around 7.7% [1]. Today's 30 year fixed rate mortgage is around 2.9% [2]. Homer's monthly mortgage payments on the same mortgage today would would be 58% of what they were then. Adjusting for the 1.4x real house price increase, a Homer buying today would have monthly payments of 82% what he would in 96. That's 18% lower! (This is what set off my rant, seeing the '2.4x higher housing costs!' in the article)

Healthcare costs are about 3x higher, as the article says, so about 1.8x after inflation adjustment.

Median tuition for a four year college is 2.6x more expensive in 2017-2018 (the last year in their source) and 1.64x more expensive after inflation adjustment, so who knows where their 1.8x number came from.

All together, the Simpsons' family's biggest expense would probably be their mortgage, which would be cheaper today. Not to say anything about expecting TV lifestyles to be affordable. Cue the Friends and How I Met Your Mother giant apartment jokes. There's a story to be told about increasingly inaccessible lifestyles, but this article isn't it.

Thanks, very insightful! Had been thinking about trying out a clay pot for slow cooking biriyani. Sounds like a fair bit of hassle though to clean it. Maybe a Kamado grill would work well, super well insulated and can cook long at low temp.

I recently bought a 8l Instant Pot - it cooks really fast and I’m still exploring the best dishes to cook with it. But so far I find slow cooking stews and curries on minimum heat on a gas hob for ~7hours still brings out a bit more flavour - I just use the stainless steel pot from the Instant Pot on the hob, with a glass lid mostly on. Maybe it’s because of the time the flavours can mix, or because the dish reduces a bit more this way. We cook a lot of Burmese and Indian food and European stews this way, it’s great every single time.

Agree with this. It should be considered to be a 'secured' loan, backed by the government. The rate would be determined by the market based on the above. I believe this is how it used to work, way back when. Not sure why it was changed.
Some level coerced labour is inevitable, the entire "vocational" training is part of broader labour/rural transfer programs across many provinces affecting millions of individuals every year, with associate recruitment pressures and quotas. The question has always been scale and severity and every piece of solid data (i.e. GIS analysis) is demonstrating the scale and severity is much smaller than previous claims by western analysis funded by parties subservient to foreign policy. Which is exactly why database like shahbits won't get any attention when they "only" catalogue 12,000 victims, it was 6,000 at the beginning of the year. Granted this is just a subset of total interned - the real number is greater than China will admit and less than western manufactured consent is trying to sell, but 10s of thousands is not a remotely actionable amount of victims for geopolitics. Hence fabricated narratives by interest funded NGOs of millions of victim to rationalize sanctions, cherry picked data points and uncorroborated atrocity propaganda. XJ is horrible, but not horrible enough.

If you had a tsunami of LNG it would be more likely to freeze you than burn you. However the latent heat of vaporization for LNG is very low, it will vaporize quickly as it spreads out, unlike crude oil. You certainly won't get a flaming tsunami - you can actually extinguish a flame in LNG.

Transport of oil through populated areas is quite common. Local governments that have restricted its transport are welcome to do the same for LNG.
That was the foot in the door in our house. My wife saw the ad where the Mac stuck out its "tongue" at the window shopper and said "I want that". She used that for years until switching to a Macbook. It was a nice little computer.

Having tried to do a lot on smartphones, I'd say I have given up most of them. Editing texts on a touch screen is quite miserable for me, and I get thumb cramp after sending a lot of texts. Speech-to-text is great, but I still have to edit a lot, especially when what I talk about isn't pure English. I now carry a notepad and pen with me.

One thing that can be done effectively is recording. Whether it's recording a video or audio, modern smart phone is better than cameras in terms of usability. I don't edit on the phone though. It's still too small a screen to be comfortable.

I also want to point out that not all consumption is unproductive. If you are reading/watching videos critically, it's a very enriching experience. You can learn a new recipe, analyze some music, etc.

Reading emails, sending important texts, making reservations, etc., especially if you are going to do it at some point anyway, are also productive.

You can give a try to transhumanism.

Personally I'm atheist and when I seem to begin to have existential dread I climb to this hope of a future Singularity. Even if I know it could very well be that it would never happen at all, only the possibility of it allows my angst to disappear.

That was a fun feature, and dovetailed nicely with a Performa 6400 being both my family's first computer and first CD player. The sound produced by the speakers in the Apple Multiple Scan 15 paired with the Performa's subwoofer was pretty good as far as 90s consumer electronics go.
