Glad you corrected OP's numbers so I don't have to.

It is truly amazing how every half-arsed opinion piece on crypto reaches the front page of HN as long as it is critical. I realize this community is inherently sceptical, but the quality of counterpoints leaves to be desired often.

A little more scepticism of scepticism is much needed here.
The impressive part is that doctors were able to save him!
The Taliban and other less savory groups drive Toyotas yet the demographics who cut ties the nanosecond they catch a whiff of wrong-think still love the brand. In fact, they go so far as to spin it as an endorsement.

Why wouldn't apple get the same treatment? Its other products are known as high quality status symbols the world over. You don't see people up in arms because a public execution in some developing nation was filmed on an iPhone.
Jesus was carbon based ... As far as we know.
It sounds like you're agreeing with your parent comment.

Linksys is owned by Cisco, and I don't know what they do now, but at the time a Cisco low-end router had no specialty hardware to run a lot of their features. Those features were implemented in software.

So openwrt threatens their entry level and some of their mid-range devices, creating a conflict of interests.
There were no open and organized calls for violence, attacking government institutions, or executing representatives, leading up to the protests I was a part of (someone did throw an egg though). There are now, and a recent and pretty successful attack on the Capital. That's why we need tighter controls now.

And what would have happened back then with no fences? The fences were a block back from the street, and I was inside them. Most likely there would have been a much larger visible protesting crowd along the route, and probably less conflict because people couldn't get in in time. I completely understand the metal detectors that were there, but I really doubt the chances of someone taking a shot back then are even 1/100th of the chances someone would next week.
Rewind 2020-10 Good Things that Happened in 2020
I think they were specifically referring to the "Customer's Union"

Employees Unions are unions. The needs supplied by a Customer's Union should, in part, be supplied by a Government. The other needs could be called a "Consortium" or a "Industry Working Group".

If it were targeted specifically at Google, there might be legal ramifications. So such a Working Group might need to be focused on Ad-buyers or SEO Professionals at large.

Such groups already exist.
Jews come in many ethnicities. I would imagine that for example Jews from Ethiopia are not considered "white." But I'm not sure what point you're trying to make.

Project Bluebeam everyone. We are being prepped, and have been prepped long before Independence Day (1996) to come together and unite as One World against a foreign adversary. Build back better
My sibling comments talking about private entities are missing the mark, unfortunately advocating what is ultimately fascism (the synergy of government and corporate power) because it is convenient.

However, the real answer is that force majeure happened. Enjoyment of rights is a pleasure of peacetime. We're veering towards having a civil war, and so society ends up prioritizing other concerns. That's not a normative statement, but a descriptive one. If you want enjoyment of your rights back sooner, speak out to end this "stop the steal" propaganda campaign.
Hello everyone,

I'm the founder of Zero. I wanted to pull some data into a Zero board from a spreadsheet but there was no decent API to do it, so I've built one.

Unlike all the others GS2JSON is:

- Open Source
- Free, no login needed
- Supported by our company

Feel free to use it as much as you want. If you need any help just let me know.

P.S. It works great combined with our core product Zero.sh - On the link there is a great tutorial for that.
So I'm friends with one college student, and she hates flipped classrooms. It's not because she's irresponsible, either. (This is college, not high school.) She feels like it takes more time and she gets less out of it. It really doesn't work for her.

So I think that

> the kids who're already doing well will do just fine in a flipped (or otherwise self-directed) model

is not true in all cases. I suspect she's not the only outlier, either.
Given the cooling requirements, I suppose it would create completely impassable rift between datacenter computing and other kinds. Imagine how programming and operating systems might look in a world where processing power is 80x cheaper.

Considering that "data centers alone consume 2% of world's enegy", I think it's worth it.
For an outsider going on .NET's website is confusing. For one is .NET 5 the same as dotnet? Let's check out the desktop side: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/desktop

I have 4 options, Xamarin, UWP, Winforms, WPF. As non-Windows dev, which option is going to be my best options with the best support in the future? How do these relate to WinUI? Also, what's project Reunion https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/apps/project-reunio... ?

I haven't used it, but I do share your skepticism. I ended up rebuilding the last website that was exported from it because it was horribly slow on mobile, despite it being an extremely simple site.
100k in appreciating stocks and 50k cars qualify as private property, or it can be converted into one fairly easily. For example, many Googlers from other countries like India buy land and houses there.

There are very long threads on eng-misc about those and other "environmental" topics, there aren't ones I randomly came by. Arguments using logic and majority of population preferences all get thrown off the window whenever someone mentions the E word (ethics). We're not living in a Utopia. If you think something is so wrong, pass a law to ban it or make it illegal, but don't enforce on me something that the vast majority of the US and world population is okay with.

I don't want to pay money to them in order to have a vote. If they want to enforce a police on the entire company, they should allow the entire company to vote on it, rather than only the ones who give them $$$. Otherwise, they'll keep coming up with all sorts of very controversial policies just to get everyone to give them money to have a chance vote against it!

Monopoly abuse goes both ways. They're okay with it when it allows them to silence the person who two months ago was chosen by seventy five million people in a democratic election, but it becomes an evil monopoly when it goes into helping same said democratically elected government. There is so much double standard in tech.

> The maintainer is expecting attention and users

Do they? The projects I maintain I do so for myself and work.

> By alerting the maintainer to issues, I would be helping them

Do you? I need to weight the time and effort to understand your issue against my potential gain from it.

> The nuclear option for a maintainer is to completely ignore the user base whose attention they need

Odd, I don't need attention for my projects.

> as if owing was any part of any of it

You explicitly spell out that maintainers owe user listening to them and helping them for their "free labor".

> But wouldn’t we hope the social contract in FOSS has a higher standard and people try to both give and receive reasonable feedback, and people try, at least, to consider users’ needs after users have invested attention, word of mouth review, effort on bug reports

If said users indeed invest quality time and I as a maintainer feel like their presence enhances my project, sure, giving and receiving is a good idea! Now, we both know how often that happens :)
$100 per year for distributing opensource app is way too much. $100 may be low in your country but its half salary for month in our country.
Why does an Apple Car need to exist, beyond the commercial interests of Apple? What would make a car from Apple special relative to a car from VW or Tesla? Is the Apple brand really that compelling? A car is not a watch or a phone. If you really like cars, you could think of a car as a kind of a personal sculpture or trophy, and Apple is good at making nice looking, prized objects. I suppose a car is a container for an "information experience" as well as a logistical one. Apple's good at that. So, is the Apple Car basically going to be a big pair of Beats headphones that will take you the grocery store? I don't get it.
> That's the 64,000 dollar question, isn't it? It seems like three months is pretty typical. When someone gets six months most people call them "lucky". When someone gets a year people call it "unheard of". No whether that's fair or not is anyone's guess.

That's an interesting take from the point of view of the USA. They address international DropBox employees in passing in the letter. For Mexico, by law companies have to pay 3 months severance when they decide to lay off an employee. Sometimes, when the person is fired for having bad performance the company can negotiate for less than that. In theory when an employee is fired for some cause attributable to him, the company doesn't have to pay the severance but the burden of proof is in the company, and it is very difficult to prove so.

That "at will" employment culture in the USA looks crazy ruthless for someone living with these protections.
People willing to spend gobs of money on a workout place tend to put gobs of effort looking better. The rational behind their fitness may not be health driven in the first place, rather social as well as their choice of foods but afforded by their circumstance. Our true motivations are not always aligned with the ideal but are conveniently substituted to present a more superior version of ourselves and in this article, seems to be unconsciously so.
I’m skeptical.

Apple’s bread and butter, as far as Macs go, is the MacBook Air. And by all accounts, they sell a lot of those, and will presumably sell even more, with better margins, now that they’ve gone ARM.

Do they really want to undercut that with a cheaper laptop? I suppose it’s possible, if the volume/margins works out, but I’d bet they just keep plugging along with $999–$1500 13-inch laptops.

I don't think that was bad for the brand. Maybe it was even good advertising.
One thing I've seen, time and time again, is that workaholics tie their identity to their employment. Everything revolves around work, and they pretty much become their work. Work is the place where they live. Co-workers, clients, associates, and what not are the majority of people they interact with. Work is what occupies their mind.

When they then lose that - either through retirement, unemployment, or what not, it turns ugly. Especially if they're also the sole provider (in their household.).

My only tips are to create rules for yourself, and try to follow them - as well as finding one or more hobbies. The more passionate you become with some hobbies, the less you only think about work.
Grakn 2.0 – Rreplacing JanusGraph with RocksDB
Apple is one of the most privacy-forward large tech companies and regularly tries to engineer systems in a way that denies them and central governments control over your data. For example they designed iCloud Keychain to work securely on adversarial clouds controlled by hostile governments.

They do very tightly control the features available on their products, so your question really hinges on how they will perceive automobile travel destinations: like features or like personal data?

(Also, HN etiquette tip: don’t complain about downvoting.)
Oh, I didn’t know this. Thanks for sharing
Just wanted to say thank you for sharing this. It's not easy to be vulnerable, especially when it comes to emotional intelligence and what you could have done better. I'm happy to hear your family is doing well.
They don't really care what the people they're firing think as long as they aren't upset enough to sue or cause other problems.

Messaging like this is for the people who are still at the company. Talking about "strategic goals" is trying to reassure them that the company isn't on verge of collapse.
I misspoke. I should have said that the modern, big Conspiracy Theories have been debunked.

Epstein was a Conspiracy. No theory required :)
Apple is also a giant pile of cash; in a way that’s hard to reason about because they could theoretically turn that cash into buying several small companies with manufacturing capabilities outright, or effectively buying them by buying all their business and capacity for years in advance.
> VCs looking for that would most likely be happy to invest in founders of any colour that match his personality.

Track records say otherwise.

And again, there is plenty on the record indicating that what they mean is exactly what it sounds like: they are looking for a close match for Zuckerberg on every axis. Sure, personality, but also traits like age, pedigree, and phenotype. All available in Google if you're curious.

Worse still. You want to cause trouble? All you need to do is open an account in your enemy's platform and start being a publicly visible asshole under its badge.

I'm not claiming a "bad apples are always planted" conspiracy theory, but it does worry me how easy it is to do so and create a destructive narrative if you really wanted to.

Whereas if you're just trolling in a general platform, most likely outcome is that you'll get called out for it from both sides and that's about it.
The AR glasses are what excite me the most since it appears that Apple has been laying the groundwork for that for years now (ARKit). Now that the M1 has shown (along with the iPad chips for years) what they can do on a small power budget without the thing turning into the surface of the sun I'm even more excited about the future of AR and Apple.
Lasers revolutionized medicine, particularly in two specialties where the organ is accessible to light: dermatology and ophthalmology.
We use :
- excimer laser (UV) for their photoablative properties, to change to anterior corneal radius of curvature in refractive surgery (fun fact: the first attempt to use this laser was pure serendipity : "oh I got this excimer in my lab, here is a chicken sandwich, let's see what is gives on organic tissues")
- ND:Yag laser to pierce a small hole in the iris when it is necessary to establish a communication, or to locally break the posterior lens capsule when it opacifies after cataract surgery ; those two procedures where far from benign when they had to be performed surgically , today it is made in the office in a few seconds
- femtosecond lasers to cut a thin layer of cornea , which is lifted , before applying the excimer laser, in LASIK procedures
- diode lasers to reduce the intraocular pressure by destroying parts of the ciliary body in very specific cases
- various lasers to photocoagulate lesions on the retina....

Ophthalmology without lasers would look like a middle-ages practice.

> If your job is your whole life and you are not making +200k: GET A LIFE

Tons of people on this forum are making that much, would not recommend workaholism for them either
It would be interesting to see the literature evolve beyond the current (simplistic) model of workaholism. The current paper isn't super clear on what their working definition is (to me), but seems to be "a compulsion or an uncontrollable need to work incessantly".

How does that relate to actual work demands? The paper says that the effort put in must beyond what is "necessary", but this is pretty vague, and would seem off in different contexts. Am I a studyholic if I study for an A instead of a simply 'sufficient' C? Should we call parents who stay up helping their kids finish a school project due tomorrow parentaholics? What is the 'correct' amount of effort to be expended so that the scientific literature won't label you as having a mental health problem?

Aside from that, can this even be extricated from simple enjoyment of work? One cited paper says:

> Cantarow (1979) suggests that workaholics are those who seek passionate involvement and gratification from working. Finally, it has been observed that hard-workers often use the word ‘fun’ to describe their work experiences (Kiechel, 1989; Machlowitz, 1980). Thus, it seems that workaholics typically find working pleasurable.

The horror! From that same cited paper:

> Therefore, in this paper, workaholics are defined as those who enjoy the act of working, who are obsessed with working, and who devote long hours and personal time to work. In short, workaholics are those whose emotions, thoughts, and behaviors are strongly dominated by their work.

If I actually enjoy my job, of course I'm going to spend more time on it! And if I don't like to exercise, or play parent, or if I only eat what I need to keep me alive, that's going to look like workaholism, even though it's just someone doing what they enjoy as much as they can. That's going to lead to neglect of other things, because there are only so many hours in a day. That's an important part of the definition, by the way, neglecting "other parts of life" is seen as a central component of workaholism, but this obviously applies to every activity, be it studying, exercising, parenting, whatever. Are we supposed to think up a portmanteau for each of these to signify individuals who 'overindulge' by our judgment?
Your company is user hostile you users are thinking about creating a union - because nobody else is caring about their interest. Caring about users should be any firms #1 priority, lol.
Apple expands Racial Equity and Justice Initiative with new programs
Almost none of those are feature requests. I mean yes, the gnome developers do write code, and that code does get merged in. I don't understand what you're trying to prove by pointing that out.

As you can see Gnome is mostly a redhat project these days: https://hpjansson.org/blag/2020/12/16/on-the-graying-of-gnom...

It's not surprising that things get merged when they come from redhat-affiliated developers.
That's not even getting into NPM or node!
> not counting the rare accidental misclicks that I don’t know about

Relevantly, I have found myself accidentally tapping the downvote button a few times on mobile — if you tap and hold on Safari, it brings up a link preview which has the same effect as [up/down/flag] voting deliberately.
The difference is if you can get enough distance between your expenses and your income, you can completely escape the rat race in a significantly earlier timeframe.

For many outside of the ultra high cost of living zones, 200k is about that cut off level where you can reach escape velocity.

Would you mind sharing what app you use?
I literally worked till I dropped during the holidays. I was committing code, got up to stretch, hit my head on furniture and passed out lol. I don't think I am workaholic. This happened because the project was mismanaged and failure to delivery would cost the company a large sum of money (due to contract negotiations with vendors etc)
> "flipped classroom model" by having kids watch (or read!) lectures on material on their own

Pretty much all classes before college I had were mixture of in-class exercises and teacher explaining things. It is not like teachers in high school would talk for an hour straight and then sent us home with homework. Plus, people asked questions or teacher prompted people to answer teachers questions. That does not really works the same way with video. In college, there were lectures and labs. In lectures they talked, in labs you solved exercises. Plus, there were office hours where you could ask.

So the whole flipped classroom model sounds like downgrade to me. Or more like someone again needed buzzword.

Anyway, afaik, my best guess is that majority of my peers would half-ass the videos watching at home. Even assigned readings had pretty bad compliance and people skimmed them at best. Unless the flipped classroom starts with graded test, there is no proof that you have done it, no consequences if you did not and then it is too tempting to skip that.

Probably not, considering the guy they're throwing out the back door is a finance dude with an MBA and Gelsinger was/is an actual engineer.
While severance benefits may help with company goodwill or assuage the feelings of the survivors, I believe the real reason is mostly number 2.

Exit aggreements almost always come with liability/discrimination disclaimers and usually new or updated language related to disclosures, company equipment, digital access, IP rights, non-compete language, and so on. Tying the exit agreement to new money provides the necessary consideration to establish a valid contract.
>As such, could you really say that is working long hours such is really unhealthy? Or such a terrible thing?

Yes, yes it is. It sounds like you are simply using work as a distraction from your problems instead of addressing them.

Our society is becoming more and more disconnected as everyone is working way too much. We should be working less, not more.

Less work means people can spend more time doing things they enjoy, socializing, doing things they need to do outside work, and having more time to relax and probably sleep.
