Of a bad reason or a bad effect?

Bad reasons are a dime a dozen. Maybe they just don't want to. They don't like the idea, and they're stubborn. Or they made a deal with one or two companies and don't want to allow others, even though some customer would really prefer the disallowed ones or can't get service from the allowed ones.

For bad effects, it means that the customer can't get the food they want, even with 100% knowledge that it's a third party picking it up, and that the quality will be imperfect in a way that's not the restaurant's fault.

Here, let me quote someone else from this same comment page: "Last night I wanted w bottle of alcohol for new years celebration. I already had a few drinks so I didn't want to drive. Unfortunately no delivery service had an agreement with any local liquor stores."

And, I mean, for non-food items imagine how bad it would be if you needed explicit permission from the manufacturer to sell something on ebay. Food's not that different.
Bitcoin Breaks Above $30k
I think one of the reasons it's allowed to go on is that a lot of exchanges are in on it.

This passage on tether's website specifically:

>tether is always 100% backed by reserves which include other assets and receivables from loans made by Tether to third parties

makes it sound like if you are an exchange, you can ask for a billion dollars of tether and give back an IOU written on a napkin saying you pinky promise you owe them that billion. So tether gives out free cash to anyone who asks and in exchange can print fake money of their own and sell it on bitfinex.
Since BQP is a subset of PSPACE, are you claiming that P != PSPACE has been proved?
The issue wasn't snark. You broke the rule against flamebait, as well as this one: "Comments should get more thoughtful and substantive, not less, as a topic gets more divisive." HN users need to follow all the rules, not just one of them.

I have had this monitor for ~18 months now and it is indeed a great monitor.

My only complaint is that 4K is "too low" at 27 inches when you scale at 2x (the default so it "looks like" 1080p).

If they release a 5K model I will buy it in a heartbeat.

Sadly the only 5K 27 inch monitor that is any good is the LG UltraFine which is ~€1400 so a lot more than I am willing to pay considering this 4K LG was €440 when I bought it.
I've been loving my COROS. It's quite simple, and the battery life is astonishing. No music functionality though, if that's a dealbreaker for you. I got the APEX 42mm about 5 months ago.

Quite challenging.

That game is impossible to solve without spoilers, so far as I'm concerned. And lord knows I tried. As far as Infocom goes, the only ones I managed to solve unassisted were Zork I and II and Planetfall, all of which are considered on the easy end of the spectrum. The later games were much more complex. Along with HHG2TG, Lurking Horror was really difficult too.

Tons of fun all of them, though.

Those suggestions in your last paragraph look very reasonable to me. At GitLab we explicitly allow performance testing as our ninth and final stewardship promise https://about.gitlab.com/company/stewardship/#promises But I recognize there is a trade-off and companies can reasonably but the balance at different points.

> Trying to do A/B/C is annoyingly slow - etc ? [...] We're trying to focus on frustrating pages/experiences rather than number of network calls

It's not really a problem with a certain page or a certain action: it's a systemic issue, that can only be solved with a systemic change.

This has come up before here in HN [1]. From my point of view, ignoring the issue around number of calls/performance and all feedback regarding it is the root cause for the slowness.

Not trying to be snarky, but... do you use your product?
This is amazing.

As usual, White men continue to be the one group that you can name, insult, actively organize against, and so forth. Rhetorical devices like "racism" that can be used to describe all other racial-based discrimination somehow magically don't apply when White people are the target; in fact, White people only exist as a group when we are targeted. In all other contexts, we are now just a 'social construct', as our emergent group identity is publicly deconstructed to prevent us from having any identity at all.

White people have contributed more to the academic commons and to free/open source software than anyone else in the world; we have had an instrumental position in bringing the light of computing to the masses. Doesn't matter, though! Historical injustices not caused by any of the individuals writing software today will be used to judge us, even if we're not American, even if our ancestors never owned slaves, even if our ancestors were slaves themselves; none of that matters when pure tactical context denial is used to establish us as the group to defeat.

All of your problems will go away, Erica Joy, when White people can no longer start businesses or develop things. The world will be wonderful when, like crabs in a bucket, everyone has been pulled down to the lowest level possible. Can't wait.

Of course, there's no reason to look at the facts: that Ms. Joy herself is an incredibly privileged individual (director of engineering for one of the most prestigious operations going). Her career progression was no doubt aided by the fact that every organization with an HR department is committed to finding as many BIPOC and women as possible to diversify, while dealing with the fact that it's a very small pool of candidates.

Get this: I've never even had the opportunity to interview someone like this, despite doing a lot of hiring; turns out that it's just not that common to find them, especially outside of America. Were I a small business, unable to pay the big salaries that big orgs do, I probably wouldn't have a chance at this small and coveted pool of talent; I'd probably be stuck hiring White (and Asian / Middle Eastern) men, because that's who applies for tech jobs around here. It is not my fault nor my obligation to do anything to increase the number of people who are qualified for a job, especially considering that the vast majority of good hires I have made have been people who are in no small part self-taught using the vast amounts of free information out there....

Anyway:

2021 white people challenge:

if a product, service, or company is built by people who publicly espouse anti-white positions, you don’t use your platform (social, newsletters, blogs, etc) to champion it, promote it, or help it gain traction (yes, even if it’s a portfolio company, VCs).

WSL VMs are gen2 (fully paravirtual) hyper-v VMs, so use dynamic memory allocation. VirtualBox, even with Hyper-V as its engine, doesn't do this. I don't think any standalone Linux distros offer a standalone Hyper-V paravirtual image that is not a WSL2 image.
I'd argue the exact opposite. Languages that don't have a concept of ownership, and a borrow checker, and don't explicitly say if they want ownership, a reference, or a mutable reference, force you to keep all of these details in your head.

Here, if I have a `&T` and I try to call a function that has a `&mut T`, the compiler will tell me that's not gonna work - and then I can pick whether I want my function to take a `&mut T`, or if I want to make a clone and modify that, etc.

There's a learning curve, it's a set of habits to adopt, but once you embrace it it's really hard to go back to languages that don't have it! (See the rest of the comments for testimonials)

It’s a statically typed functional lisp, which is a rarity and a good opportunity to try out another programming paradigm. At a glance it looks like it uses a lot of Prolog semantics, so that’s also got Logic Programming heritage which is yet another paradigm exploration opportunity.

I’m not sure it’s something I’d want to use in production, but I certainly might play around with it at some point to get some brain juices flowing in different directions.

I went from JS -> Clojure/ClojureScript -> TypeScript, and that progression taught me a lot. It probably improved my programming skills many times over. I learned how to much better reason about state (Clojure/FP) and interfaces/contracts (TS/static types), which pays off constantly.
this sounds similar to problems with peer review in academia. it mostly works fine as a guardrail to enforce scholarly norms.

however many institutions want to outsource responsibility for their own high-stakes decisions to the peer review system. whether it's citing peer-reviewed articles to justify policy, or counting publications to make big hiring decisions.

It introduces very strong incentives to game the system -- now getting any paper published in a decent venue is very high-stakes, and peer review just isn't meant for that -- it can't really be made robust enough.

i don't know what the solution is in situations like this, other than what you propose -- get the outside entities to take responsibility for making their own judgments. but that's more expensive and risky for them, so why would they do it?

It feels kind of like a public good problem but I don't know what kind exactly. The problem isn't that people are overusing a public good, but that just by using it at all they introduce distorting incentives which ruins it.

I have an RX5700 XT and two 27” 4k displays, and games are usually fast enough at 4k for my taste. Not super high FPS, but I can play Overwatch on high settings in 4k at 50fps, and some other newer games as well.

I honestly can’t go back to a lower DPI; it’s so much easier to read text compared to lower res monitors.

I've used it for gaming and it's great! I have a separate dedicated gaming PC I just built, and I can just unplug from my Mac and plug right into the Thunderbolt 3 port on the gaming PC (which, in case anyone cares or is interested, just requires a daisy chain TB3 cable to the Nvidia card - happy to give details if anyone is building a similar setup.)

I haven't played much beyond 4K resolution but it works and works well.

The LG UltraFine is not a hardcore dedicated gaming monitor (eg not 144hz and I couldn't tell you what ms the response time is), but I am not a competitive gamer and honestly 60hz/60fps @ 4K is absolutely gorgeous to my eyes and I am not wanting for more.
The resolution was too low.

I didn't really have a use in mind for it, I just thought it was interesting and thought I'd find uses for it after I owned it, but the resolution was too low to be able to do anything useful.

Here's the only picture I have of it working: https://img.jes.xxx/1047

As you can see, you can't see anything.
While paranoid conspiratorial thinking does definitely exist, accusing others of conspiratorial thinking is a very handy way to dismiss other points of view. And as you rightly point out, what you consider to be a conspiracy theory depends often on your opinions on a subject.

Climate change activists have claimed for a long time that our failure to address climate change is partly due to conspiratorial behaviour by oil companies- but this is of course perfectly fine.
I've mostly used web-specialized programming languages like JavaScript and PHP, and some Python. Some of the unique characteristics of Rust have been trickier for me to pick up.

It won’t happen. And the reason is: It outsources community curation. A couple of moderators can manage millions of posts, because they only need to pay attention to the outliers. It also allows the moderators to easily fall back on “it’s what the community wants” when the core values change.
Since a lot of folks take issue with the article's title, think of it as "If you had only a half hour to learn Rust, here's what I'd tell you".

If you have more, do engage in a joust^W friendly collaboration with the compiler, which will get you quite far since diagnostics are a first-class feature :)

Imagine people believing you sincerely want to stop polluting.
Another con: no upstream USB-B port for connecting to a PC. Also might be hard to power with a graphics card given the higher rez. Sounds super nice for productivity though.
Earlier in the year I was searching for a monitor that I could use to switch between my work-supplied MacBook 16 and my gaming PC (Nvidia 1080-based). I decided to go with the Acer XV273K (27", 4K, 120Hz).

This monitor has some things that make it a nice thing to share. It has 2 DisplayPorts and 2 HDMI connections for lots of connectivity.

I am currently using the 2 DP connections, one for MacBook, one for PC. The PC runs it a 4K 120Hz just fine and the MacBook is running it at 4K 60Hz. I haven't been able to get the MB to run at higher than 60Hz, unfortunately. I am using a usb-C to DP dongle from BENFEI. Maybe a different cable would help?

I have the Mac set to scale the desktop rez to 5K screen space, which works fine. It is clearly not as hi-rez as a natvie 5K display, but it looks pretty darn good to me. Much better than a 1440p monitor.

I have had not problems at all with this setup and highly recommend it

> hope 2021 we figure out how to stop the hate

Influential people have spent the last ten years actively working on ways to remove the small progress towards a more colourblind world that was made in the 90s and 00s. Engendering hate and race-based conflict through rhetoric has been their modus operandi, and the rise in violence, protesting, and division is the direct result.

I don't think anyone important is going to push for a unification effort that offers White people a way to be part of the fold without having to hate ourselves, which is not something any self-respecting person should accept. White people who push anti-White rhetoric are detestable and nobody really likes them, on either side; they are merely apparatchiks and useful idiots that sow division and damage their own legacy.
I share the same concerns regarding Google, I also think it's loosing quality day by day, we need better solutions and maybe advances in ML et al could help us there, maybe we also need a better way to crawl inside apps, social networks etc where most of content live nowadays and gets lost forever after its short-lived fame, even by Google

I didn't say minimum. The point is, in the mid-90s you had a lot of people with HIV infections. Some of them were dying, but a lot of others carried infections for many years with no apparent ill effects. I don't see how you can get definitive causality from that data.
This is more of a psychology text on conspiracy theories as a component of a psychological concern. What I hoped it would be was an encyclopedia of conspiracy theories. I'm surprised no one has attempted to collect many of them into a volume.

Resistor wouldn't be a huge problem. A heat sink might be - the chargers typically support 5-50kW¹ charging rates. I'm not sure they would consider 100W or so "charging", so you might end up with something bulky.

This is quite common. If you run a security@ mailbox at a company, you're bound to receive hundreds of bug bounty/responsible disclosure requests because of known software quirks or other design choices. They'll cite precisely one CVE or HackerOne/BugCrowd report, and then proceed to demand a huge payment for a critical security flaw.

I've seen reports that easily fail the airtight hatchway [0] tests in a variety of ways. Long cookie expiration? Report. Any cookie doesn't have `Secure`, including something like `accepted_cookie_permissions`? Report. Public access to an Amazon S3 bucket used to serve downloads for an app? Report. WordPress installed? You'll get about 5 reports for things like having the "pingback" feature enabled, having an API on the Internet, and more.

The issue is that CVEs and prior-art bug bounty payments seem "authoritative" and once they exist, they're used as reference material for submitting reports like this. It teaches new security researchers that the wrong things are vulnerabilities, which is just raising a generation of researchers that look for the entirely wrong things.

Is the author of the article a saint or a sinner? Is the author the worst journalist since the dawn of the newspaper era, or a genius of words for whom a Pulitzer is not even near enough?

Why does Assange have to be a "saint" or a "sinner"?

He is a person involved in journalism and activism.

He is also an individual with a personal life, habbits, traits, etc.

Intelligent critique knows how to separate the personal from the political.

Intelligent critique also knows that people ain't saints or sinners, but just people, and if it feels the need to bring in analogies from theology (which might ocassionally make sense), it surely doesn't need to bring the most extreme dichotomy from it...

Assange doesn't have to be either. As for his public work can be very good, very bad, or something in between for the world (possinly nearing toward one or the other), regardless of what "he" is.

(As for my personal opinion, historical and political savvy people also understand there's a lot of saving face and retaliation at play from those exposed by Assange, plus all kinds of made-up BS accusations and diplomatic pressures).
It's from the article. Some of the New England states get flipped around relative to their actual geographic positions:

I may be off base here, but what if I'm a super-rich dude who starts a company that exists solely to send the SPCA, St.Judes and Shriner's Hospital a million a month because of those gut-wrenching commercials, but I want to remain completely anonymous about it?
Note that while in the US "liberal" is often used synonymously with "left-wing", in the rest of the world it refers to right-wing libertarian anticommunism. In that sense of the word the wealthy are mostly liberal these days, though some (see England in particular) are still traditional conservatives.
I’ve seen this with my 2410U on hdmi. It had to do with the colour being send being in ~~cymk~~ YPbPr instead of rgb which makes the display think it is acting as a TV and applies some smart stuff. This is fixable with a monitor profile but I do not have link ready.
