I think a lot of people very fond of crypto for its more anarchist features overestimate the mainstream's willingness to break from "the system". If regulations come down on exchanges or the crypto space more broadly, it will send prices into a catastrophic downward spiral. This is likely to happen earliest in vulnerable developing nations like Venezuela.
"Terrorist" has taken on a LOT of different meanings. What do you see as terroristic in Bundy's actions that is missing from the actions of these squatters?

With all due respect, as someone who has been participating in online communities since the days of FidoNet, I don't think people have really changed. There's just more people, which itself drives up the opportunity for disagreement.

And some of the most disagreeable people on my social media are old farts, too :)
It's against the site guidelines to editorialize titles like this. Please don't.

Unpopular opinion, but WebEx beats the pants off Zoom. Of course, it's neither free nor open. But it does support strong end to end encryption and authentication and has regulatory compliance to a bunch of things, if that's important to you. I get that there is WebEx hate because "enterprise" etc, but we use it around here and it works quite well.
My particular feelings are particularly mixed when it comes to the logo in the upper left. The text is blurry. Get someone who's proficient with Photoshop to export this correctly from the source. As it is now it reminds me of exports produced with Paint Shop Pro back in the early 00s, they were ok but just not sharp/on-point.

Plus, I get we're catering to progressives here but in a 73% white nation would it not be cool to at least aim one non-historical FP image at that demographic?
You Don't Know JavaScript: Get Started: Chapter 3 Notes
America Can’t Even Produce the Things It Invented
I did this right out of college as a young and struggling developer, and I had a lot of psychological issues with sleep and depression that haven't resurfaced during this recent extended work from home. There are a ton of differences in circumstance, but I think doing my work in my living room office vs lying on my bed is much better for my mind and my spine.

It makes one really appreciate the concept of having rights here in the West. Granted sometimes the police or the government overstep and don't respect those rights, but it's a far cry from the norm in much of the world where you only have rights to the extent permitted by the capricious whims of the people in power and it can change instantly with no recourse or appeal.
I'd like to take this moment to mention self-hosted, open source, and federated alternatives like XMPP and Matrix.

I'd like to, but unfortunately I don't feel like I can in good faith. Matrix is woefully immature, and suffers from a lot of issues, but I think is closer to being a functional Slack/Discord alternative. XMPP is much more mature, and works very well for chat, but doesn't have a nice package that does all the Slack stuff--at least not that I'm aware of. I'd love to be proven wrong there. I know it can be done, but if it can't be deployed quickly by an already overstressed team member, what chance does it have?
My Understanding is that the stabilized Spike Protein sequence was developed and patented by UT Austin and the NIH. This was hen encoded using Moderna's mRNA delivery technology. I'm sure there were also countless other technology innovations that contributed to the quick rollout. It seems very reductive to attribute credit to one individual or organization over another.

That's not quite true. it's the mentality of "The only _possible_ reason why this person doesn't like bitcoin is that they are very sour to have missed a once in a lifetime opportunity etc."

Using that kind of pejorative term for anyone who's not in the inside, is very much cult-like thinking.

it's the same framing device as if I referred to "People who have turned their back on Jesus" instead of "atheists".
You may or may not be better off. How will people that are/aren't part of a union be treated if some people are members? If majority is union and you are not, will you be shunned, denied same opportunities for promotion, etc? We can only guess.
This is huge. Cast.ai looks like an interesting solution for this situation. Will check it out. Thanks!
The main unknowns aren't around short-term efficacy, but long term immunity. If it turns out that a single dose provides ~80% protection but only for 3 months, whereas the second dose provides strong long-term protection, the one-dose scenario would be significantly worse.

I think this is due to AWS. Not only Slack is down (e.g. Notion). AWS status page didn't show anything yet, but wouldn't be the first time. The last Kinesis crisis didn't show up for hours.
Its aesthetic.

There's nothing more than that to worry about. If its not your jam, then don't get twisted knickers when someone else does.

I'm actually a little appalled at people who carry your & OP's sentiment. Is it really that hard to see that people like visually pleasing things in their lives? Have you ever painted or reorganized a room and spent time picking out the colours & details? Is your wardrobe 20 copies of the same shirt? Did you ever toss up the choice between different vehicles/bikes based on the looks?

I get the part how flashy in your face components aren't appealing, but you sort of have to be intentionally daft not not see why others might like it too.
For me personally, the value of IFTTT is not the automation/rules. It's the API integrations. Some of the inputs/outputs have horrifically complex APIs that I do not want to deal with. For that reason alone, I pay IFTTT their minimum $2/month.
Google services are sadly a little bit complicated to create Trigger-Nodes for. Much more than ANY other ones. Some of the fun things are that they require to verify the domain you use as callback URL (which so makes it for example impossible to use our tunnel) or that the webhooks expire?!?! Anyway, I hope we will have it ready soon and you can so start using n8n!
You could become the leader of the free world, even.
What would make that strange? Where I work it is frowned upon to do releases on weekends and so bad changes due to buildups happen on Monday.

Although, we also don’t close the pipeline for just any holiday break. In fact low holiday traffic is a good time to keep pipelines open, since changes will impact less people.
Ask HN: Why is intellij slower than an electron app?

So like half what Google pays? How much does their Union take?
> But it makes sense, right? Real corruption and crime isn't always about drugs and shotguns.

I think the reaction is just that it's unexpected. Everyone expects there to be crime and corruption in unions, but they don't consider it to be as glamorous or interesting as the gangsters-and-cops tropes that they're used to, and that The Wire seemed to many to be about until season 2.

In the context of Simon's slowly-expanding lens of the American city, it makes complete sense, but most viewers aren't aware of that right at the beginning.
That's pretty bad. It's also not particularly surprising to see more incompetence from a prison where guards did not do their job correctly and even went as far as falsifying records about their activities on the night of to cover their asses (regarding a detainee that had just been on suicide watch, no less). Their trial for these actions is set to start in June, after multiple delays.

You need a seriously screwed-up culture in the detention facility for this to even be considered by guards, much less attempted. Why would anyone assume that only the two guards that were indicted are somehow the only bad apples there and that everyone else is great at their job?

It would be interesting to compare the guards at this facility with others on topics like complaints from detainees or disciplinary actions, to get a better idea of how unusual this behavior was. So far 100% of the COs involved have demonstrated to be highly incompetent and even dishonest.

I have no particular opinion about what exactly happened to cause his death (mainly because I don't pass judgment based on the little evidence I have) but it's easy to see why many would consider these actions proof of a conspiracy though.
For all the faults of American governance, it is extremely resistant to authoritarianism. There is currently an American president openly trying to have the election rigged and he has a pile of people behind him.

And despite having a majority in one legislative house, despite appointing tons of the judges, and despite having the ability to ruin the careers of numerous state legislators and executives, he is almost certainly going to fail.

There have been plenty of attempts to imprison people on a whim in the USA and while they have succeeded for a period, they tend not to survive long term either.

Both the US and Japan have ran enormous fiscal surpluses for decades with low inflation. How does your plain, simple intuition account for this gap between what you say must happen and what has happened?
If Musk had murdered someone in secret, he still wouldn't just disappear with no formal charges or acknowledgement of what happened.

Ignoring the fact you haven't actually made any accusations, "disappearing" someone just doesn't happen in the US to US citizens.

And I'll get in front of it: no I don't consider foreign citizens on US soil "the same thing". While the US does provide robust protections for foreigners (relatively speaking) it's never fair or honest to compare the treatment of a citizen in one country to a foreigner in another.
It's obviously a judgment call but I don't think the GP comment was super pejorative. It was fulminating a bit (also against the guidelines), but not so much that we would post a moderation scolding. The issue with the comment I replied to is that it crossed into a personal harangue. That tends to degrade discussion much faster—note how with https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25634048 the thread is already headed down the drain.
> Downvoting should not be used for simple disagreement.

Used to be part of the guidelines. Seems as though they've removed it.
But we are not talking about states budgets in general. We are talking about the COVID-19 vaccine.
"Moral Mazes: The World of Corporate Managers is a 1988 book by sociologist Robert Jackall that investigates the world of corporate managers in the United States.

In the introduction, Jackall writes that he "went into these organizations to study how bureaucracy—the prevailing organizational form of our society—shapes moral consciousness"[1] and that the book is "an interpretive sociological account of how managers think the world works."[2]

It was named the 'Most Outstanding Business and Management Book' of 1988 by the Association of American Publishers.[3]"

As for whether Marx was "discredited" in his own lifetime, I don't know where people get that idea. I hear it or something like it all the time. Like him or not, he's a hugely influential thinker even today. So are most of his critics. It's hardly a settled issue.

But the idea of MoP isn't even part of the controversial parts of Marx. It's just a description about how part of capitalism works, as he saw it. The ideas he draws on in that analysis come largely from Ricardo and Smith, hardly "discredited" radicals.
The Biggest Blind Spots in Growth Marketing
I'm trying to figure out whether this is a compliment, a criticism, or both. When topics related to 2D graphics come up, there's a fair chance I've done some relevant work in the area. I plan to continue shamelessly hawking my results, as that's an important part of a research pipeline :)
My keyboard uses the open source QMK firmware, which means that it's entirely open source and you can hack it to you heart's contents. At this point I'd never consider getting an expensive keyboard with a closed source firmware for the reasons you point out.

I don't care for backlighting much myself, but I often switch between dvorak and йцукен layouts and I use the backlight color to let me know what more I'm currently in. This saves a lot of time when I don't understand why I can't get past a password prompt...
I can't swipe or otherwise close the left menu once it's open (Android/pixel3/chrome)

Remember resume.json spec that was on here a few years ago? Any plans to support that?
Additionally, the low hanging fruit for automation is going to diminish. We'll always have things to automate, but in general those things will decrease in value.
I notice they avoid talking about the non-cobalt designs coming out and the low cobalt designs being made now. This article reads like it was written two years ago, very behind the times and tech.
The rumor in China is that Jack Ma is part of Jiang Zemin's clique of politicians/sphere of influence. Alibaba's backed by and invested by Jiang's families.

Xi has been purging Jiang's people/influence on the Central Government for the last few years to strengthen his ruling. Originally he was going to leave Ma alone as he has proven himself to be useful.

But 2 things happened- 1. people start to idolize Ma the businessman over the party's absolute rule. 2. Perhaps as a result Ma is embolden to speak out against Xi's government directions.

So now Ma has to go. Ma knew this and that's why he resigned from Alibaba's Chairman position, but it was too late. Ant Financial, with its main backers from Jiang's gang, was put to a standstill. This is only the first step. Expect the party to eventually to take over the Alibaba group (国进民退). No private civilian will be allowed to gain this much power again.

“There is no so-called [Ma] era,” read a recent headline in the CCP mouthpiece People’s Daily, “but only an era that has [Ma] in it.”

Anyway, to quote House of Cards-

“Such a waste of time. He chose money over power, in this town, a mistake nearly everyone makes. Money is the McMansion in Sarasota that starts falling apart after ten years. Power — is the old stone building that stands for centuries. I cannot respect someone who doesn’t see the difference.” - Frank Underwood

That the impact could be huge doesn't take much imagination: We could be back to square 1 with the vaccination process and the evolved virus might be more dangerous.

So inflation is usually used to describe how the reduced purchasing power of a dollar with respect to goods and services.

The stock market and real estate aren't goods and services, they are assets. The price of assets can vary quite wildly based on the interest rates (Looking at a net present value calculation explains why). But these fluctuations are unrelated to fluctuations in the prices of goods and services.(i.e. inflation)

Food prices definitely haven't doubled in the last 10 years.

https://www.ers.usda.gov/data-products/food-price-outlook/fo...

People complaining about inflation are usually asking us to trade a very real current harm-underemployment for a hypothetical harm that hasn't materialized in the last 13 years despite repeated warnings-inflation. This seems like a bad trade especially since mainstream macro theory says the risks of rampant surprise inflation are low.
