Please, consider seeing a professional as soon as possible. Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of: it doesn't brand you as ANYTHING, any more than being diabetic or having an allergy does. There is a very good chance that a doctor can help you quickly and easily.

And you might feel at times like you don't even want to be helped, or that you don't deserve help, or that it's not worth the bother, but those are all symptoms of your problem, not consequences of it. Your judgement IS impaired. It will go away once you're in treatment. You'll be amazed at the change.

Please, talk to a professional, be very honest with them about how you're feeling and about the thoughts you are having. I know it's tough to open up and it might seem awkward, and I know it's easy to lose sight of it in these times we live in, but I promise you, there are many people out there that really want to help you, not just because it's their job, and they are more than able to do it. It will change your life.

You will get over this and come out stronger on the other side. You'll see. Best wishes, friend.
I have no idea of the precise savings that screening returns would result in, but I know the following from years of reading financial reports of large retailers:

1) The profit margins are tiny, literally in the sub 5% range.

2) This means the operations of the businesses that do exist have been extremely streamlined, and there's not too much juice left to squeeze

3) If they're doing something, it means it is a necessity to stay in business, and a business wasting money in the single digit percent profit margins will not be in business for long.

4) If a competitor starts screening returns, and sees their profitability rise as a result, then they can price their products more competitively and win business. Retail businesses are competing for volume, and customers only care about price.

You can see from the public reports that no one is getting rich off of these companies. They're probably just doing what they have to do to survive, including the marketing and the screening of returns.

The U.S. Wage, minus paying for your own health care, minus saving for your own (p|m)aternity leave, is still greater than the European wage, at least for the Software Engineering career track.

The calculation is probably more favorable to traditional middle class jobs in Europe.

They stop growing. The ambitious people leave first when they realize growth is slowing. Ultimately, only the less ambitious are left.
I would presume that it’s illegal in most countries to have a policy of investing only or mostly in companies led by people with a specific skin colour.

In Sweden for example, as far as I know, the only degree of discrimination that is allowed is to prefer one biological/ethnic etc category over another when the candidates are equally good in all other respects.
Yes, that is what I had in my mind's eye :-)
That doesn’t add up at all.

How can both be at 50% with urban voters and yet only one of them ‘ignoring the rural vote’?

Of course rural votes would have some effect at the margins, but the priorities of rural voters would always be a meaningless tie breaker, and never carry significant weight.

Yes, votes across the whole country would matter, but rural votes would have so little leverage that they wouldn’t impact the agenda.

This is so surreal. If this topic was about people claiming election fraud, there would be no doubt that they were all crazy and needed locked up.
This article can be seen as an introduction to emacs hacking. It features profiling, hooks, advice, and more emacs developer tricks. I haven't read it fully yet but this looks like a nice way to get to know emacs deeper.
It doesn't scale that well, as you need ctor parameters for every property, so API additions may also be breaking changes.

I probably leaked my home address somewhere as well. Doesn't mean you got it.

Which is why you do use the VPN for gaming-related purposes such as a voice chat service, while when you visit Hacker News a VPN isn't necessary.

VPNs work adequately for this purpose. They work terrific to avoid civil lawsuits as well. What they're terrible for is avoiding law enforcement. But that isn't what we're discussing here.

I think Google Photos would be a closer comparison for Carousel. I think it would've been the smart play for Dropbox to expand on that if they wanted to maintain consumer customers. Photos are kinda the only thing people willingly pay to save/backup and they're a royal pain in the ass to organize.

But then again, it's hard to compete against free for $0.10/user margins. Way easier catching a couple of big enterprise fishes.
I had just happened to read that a high percentage of Europeans do it without sedation, which is where I got the idea. Anesthesia is something I avoid as much as I possibly can. I wish now that I’d pushed more to get the endoscopy I had recently done without being completely knocked out, although the doctor (a different doctor) seemed a lot more resistant to that.
Yes. It is available on both.

Nitrogen won't get you below 10°K, tho. It's solid below 63°K (-210°C).

You know things are getting expensive, when superconductors are rated "high temperature", when they can be cooled with LN2...

Helium (He2) is _practically finite, as we can't get it from the atmosphere in significant amounts (I think fusion reactor may be a source in the future), and it's critically important for medical imaging (each MRI 35k$/year) and research. You also can really store it long term, which means there are limits to retrieval/recycling, too. I sincerely hope we won't start blowing it away for porn and Instagram.

This statement seems so funny considering 20 years ago Microsoft were all the FAANGs
Yep, a random company would not be a good identity provider. (I've been up to my elbows in SAML2 before, so that's going to color my response.)

But suppose you set up a specific semi-public organization to act as the identity provider. (Like IANA? Maybe that's not a good example. :-)) Following something like a provably secure communications flow[1], the chat site gets a unique number representing the user. That's all they know about the user.

Alternatively, and with the approval of the user, the site gets the user's name or whatever the user wishes their online reputation to be associated with and can display that, for their comments to be taken seriously.

Ok, so let's take the example of Parler. Parler doesn't moderate its content, and actively resists attempts outside attempts to do so. However, anything illegal is still associated with individuals and the court system can force Parler to complete the link (that's the "effectively anonymous" approach, here), resulting in that user facing legal consequences. (This is opposed to the current system, where Parler could be technically designed to be unable to complete that link (Yeah, Parler are idiots.) and any kind of moderation relies on Parler's goodwill.)

AWS can continue to host Parler under the cover of a statement like "The POPO are keeping them in check." Or, AWS can kick them off based on measurable facts like "they got more than 10 or 15 subpoenas a day for three months".

As for your last paragraph...

Personally, I think Parler was a sewer filled with the morally and intellectually challenged who lack any sense of responsibility as citizens of the United States of America. (My understanding is that its users were limited to the US, btw.) I understand and agree with its vendor's decisions not to do business with them any more, in the same way I understand and agree with their decisions not to do business with ISIS recruitment sites.

> a non-profit organization

> should be taken into account when comparing the goals and motivations of organizations developing various other communicators.

Business or funding models can change for both for- and non-profit organizations. Especially as people move to options that are believed to have better user-privacy, the idea that they do not sell/monetize collected user data today does not indicate what they will do tomorrow.

Unless users have strong evidence that companies are not collecting and/or monetizing this information (which as the OP pointed out, there is for Signal as found in a subpoena), the "billboard" approach towards promising user privacy via marketing and PR is a shallow one at best for non-profits as well as for-profit companies.
> Unless someone for some reason comes up with a product that's just amazing compared to its competition but has no syncing capabilities, or syncing becomes incredibly difficult to implement well, I don't see why people would use Dropbox.

For me Dropbox has the following advantages:

* it works with _all_ my files and applications (not only those with sync built-in)
* it's a separate product, that does one thing only, where I explicitly pay for that thing. It's not an after-thought or something whose business model is unclear or is against my privacy
* for the same reason I am less worried that the company behind it will pull the plug because it's not the main focus

I much happier to pay more for a service/product with a clear focus made by a company that doesn't a gazillion other things. (Btw for similar reasons I think that Evernote is damaging itself with their strategy of chasing new features at all costs).

What role does Congress play in the social dysfunction we've all witnessed for a year now?

Congress failed to offer substantial relief to Americans that are trapped in their houses, many without jobs, accumulating debt and unable to pay bills.

Pelosi gets spotted in a hair salon, shows off her freezer full of luxury ice cream, all while ordinary Americans suffer.

I have no interest in defending or feeling sorry for Congress. They've got a 15% approval rating, so it seems no one does either.
The compensation difference is ridiculous. You can make literally triple the total-comp in California, with lower taxes, in a very similar cost-of-living environment.

I was not kidding. I guess I didn't realize they were selling data with PII, which is shocking. I'm actually surprised Google and Facebook were taking in other-party data that wasn't aggregated, just due to the privacy and perception concerns.

That said, it still seems like a vector that's really problematic compared to gain. My personal anecdote is that my kids both only used Pampers Swaddlers diapers, simply because that's what the hospital gave us as we left - that is what I would see as a brilliant marketing partnership for P&G without risks of invasive perceptions.
1) Oh, it turns out that the mechanism for getting CTCs out of FTL is completely irrelevant. Construct your light cones, see the results. Warp drive, wormholes, whatever, they all produce CTCs. You can look into it if you don't believe me.

2) None of the matter in the universe was expanding, the spacetime was. You're not the first person to think of this. Probably the first question that popped into anyone's mind when variants of the concept were being kicked around. Anyway, the expansion doesn't generate CTCs because there's no information and/or matter to circle around, it's just the stretch between these.

Now, you'll probably ask about -- well, why can't we shrink spacetime selectively to get around all of that? Ah, that requires some exotic matter, matter with negative mass-energy. No, anti-matter does not have negative mass-energy (first thing people reach for). In fact, we've never found anything with negative mass-energy and that concept itself raises a ton of fun paradoxes which I could get into. And you still get CTCs.

There's probably a large tree of arguments out there on the Internet somewhere which addresses all of these common objections.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/planning-scena...

SARS-CoV-2 is very similar to other endemic human coronaviruses like HCoV-OC43. Immunity isn't a binary yes or no condition and there are other components to the human immune system beyond just antibodies. The vast majority of recovered patients will likely retain a high level of immunity for many years. As with most viral diseases a small fraction of patients will suffer reinfections but even those typically experience less severe symptoms.

How? Seems too good to be true.
I'm used to Scala for these things and it seemed fairly easy to do. Docker DB container would be spun up at the start of testing (using a package such as testcontainers-scala). Then the DB would be setup using the migration scripts (using Flyway) so it has a known state. Every test (or set of tests if they're linked) would have a pre-hook which nuked the DB to a clean state. Then the docker container would be shut down at the end of testing. I'm guessing there's even some way to have this run concurrently with multiple DBs (one per thread) but we never did that. Is Java's ecosystem for this type of tooling just that much better?
I don't think the bar is as low as "could the government make enough gruel to keep you from starving." And, given the current experience with vaccine distribution, even that is not certain.

Think of all commercial food products that contain potatoes that could no longer be produced for a time. Potatoes are a significant source of cattle feed. Potato starch has many non-food industrial applications.

Perhaps we wouldn't have millions of deaths, but a year without potatoes would be an historic catastrophe that Americans would remember for decades.
Why though? What do you forsee the issue being with where the money could be going?

If Jason is recommending a way to donate to the project, who cares where it goes? If he puts it straight in his pocket and uses it to buy pizza or a computer game, it's still serving its purpose as far as I'm concerned. I have donated, and will do so again, and I'm perfectly happy with the money being used that way.

In a sense, for me, it's a thank you for the work thus far, not an payment for more work.

I imagine many see this differently, so I'm interested to hear some other opinions.
The value is enormous because women's hormones depend basically on the menstrual cycle and the modifications of that with things like the pill.

> I basically don't let anything but the package manager touch /usr.

That's the standard approach. Custom system-wide packages (as opposed to packages that are only installed for one user) should go in /usr/local/ or in a package-specific directory under /opt/.
That too, but I was referring to the compensation US-based companies offer in EU as opposed to local employers.

I love Star Trek, and that being a possible future is nice to entertain, but doesn't take into account an AI singularity. The latter, to some approximation, seems more likely to me. And that puts a Moore's law on intelligence. Not just for us, but for any potential space faring race. And it doesn't have to be just "AI"; as soon as a race has the capability to recursively improve their own intelligence they'll hit that exponential curve too.

So by the time a race gets space faring and solves FTL travel, it's likely they're at least a good step onto that exponential intelligence curve. Hence a vague estimate of "tens of thousands of orders of magnitude".

For example, as is we should be capable of building a GPT-human within 20 years (1). About the same time frame that, if we put all our effort into it, it would take for us to barely colonize another planet in our solar system. Given another 20 years and we've got an AI that's 1000x more intelligent than us.

I see our trajectory as hitting that exponential curve before we even get out of this solar system. So I just imagine any potential "visitors" to our planet are much further along.

(1) This is calculated using Moore's law: how many doubles of compute will it take before GPT-3 can be naively scaled to the estimated number of parameters of a human brain. That doesn't necessarily imply human level intelligence, but our studies so far indicate that there's strong reason to believe that GPT-human will be something approximating 1000x smarter than GPT-3. Human or not, that's terrifyingly intelligent. Remember that Transformer like architectures are the ones that "solved" protein folding last year. And none of this calculation takes into account the potential for continued improvements to architectures and efficiency over that time span. So while I don't think GPT-human will start an AI apocalypse in 20 years, I do think GPT-human will be better than every other human on this planet at doing ... AI research. And that's where the spark of singularity begins.
I liked that hledger had a few reports that ledger didn't have, like real balance sheets and income statements. Both integrate well with emacs, but their journal files differ in slightly incompatible ways, so they're not drop-in replacements. Both are very fast.
But you have to save lots of undesirable info in order to maintain the reversibility right? Once you delete that don't you lose the efficiency gains?

Of course I know of Brad Fitzpatrick. I am just questioning the product and its "innovation" compared to the rest of the industry in order to be promoted here that much and I think I know enough about the industry to see that there is nothing to see here for all that hype assuming it's genuine. I can get that for FOSS projects, but not for companies.

I think it's important to point out that "being nice" also involves making room for people that might come across as rude, or that have difficulty expressing themselves in a polite way, or that are just speaking directly. I often get accused of being rude in my writing because I am direct. I've known lots of people (especially devs) that don't really understand that their phrasing might be interpreted as rude. If someone is clearly just lobbing insults, that's one thing, but we also have obligations to be charitable when interpreting others, and that charity often involves couching their expression as an attempt at being "politely informative." I would also say: unless it's flagrant, learn to deal with it. It's important to be able to deal with people, and that involves dealing with unhappy people, people who are stressed or at wits end, and so on. It goes both ways.
