People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them 59.99 for a game is a bargain compared to the amount of value you get with modern titles. I remember buying Nintendo and Sega games for the same price. Magazines only covered the biggest games, so the most informed you could be as a consumer is based on how cool the box art was, and most could be finished in an afternoon once you figured out the cheap mechanics designed to force you to start over.
The objectives mentioned are

>>> Learning Objectives:

>>> To identify the major subfields of computer science, their intellectual family tree, and the major figures and works of their birth and infancy.

To be able to place current computer science research in the context of its intellectual lineage.

To be able to present to an audience of educated but non-specialist computer scientists some of the major ideas of computer science in a way that is succinct and easy to understand.

To be able to critique constructively similar presentations by others.
Curious to learn the strategy against Quora and StackOverflow communities.

We have 'same' idea 9 years ago, but scrapped it as non viable.

Good Luck
Why are they still sold? Because dealerships can pre install them and sell them.
This is correct. Any writing software that aims for an audience larger than HN needs to have a very robust docx export capability.

My partner tells me that it has to be formatted a certain way down to the font and line spacing too or they won't accept it.

I'm cracking up at all these comments suggesting that her recipients brew install pandoc lol. Good luck with that.
Building a platform for cohort-based courses. Hiring full-stack engineers
We are a small team of 4 looking for 2nd and 3rd engineers. Our 3 founders have each started companies before - Gagan co-founded Udemy and Sprig, Wes co-founded the altMBA with Seth Godin and Shreyans started Socratic (sold to Google) and built Venmo.

We are building a platform for cohort-based-course: courses you take with other people. We believe this addresses the biggest missing piece in online education, and CBCs lead to higher engagement, better learning outcomes, and more fun.

We've raised $4.5 million from First Round and incredible angels, have world-class instructors signed up to teach (starting with Anthony Pompliano and Sahil Lavignia), and are already earning revenue despite being only a few months old.

If you want to play a big role in shaping this startup, and the future of cohort-based courses from the ground up, email me at hi@shreyans.org

> My biggest frustration is that they were willing to make such drastic changes to the desktop UI at all.

I feel you there, one of the reasons I didn't like Windows is big, seemingly random UI changes. I don't think Bir Sur is crazy like Windows NT -> Windows Vista crazy, just feels like a big change for MacOS which has been relatively stable for a few years.

Seems like Apple tends to go long when they make big sweeping UI changes, then in the following releases they dial things back or work out the glitches. It's frustrating for certain.
Yeah they did, we have had similar problems in Australia

The thing is, it's still a lot better than the mid-century horror stories of institutions; electrotherapy, lobotomy, people being drugged into a permanent fugue state, sexual abuse, etc. Those concerns are what drove these changes to the system.
The best approach I've heard is to "standardize" on doing it with IO descriptors, so we'd have stdin, stdout, stderr, stdjsin, stdjsout. Individual programs could check which file descriptors are open and read/write the format automatically. This may also be the best way to leverage the benefits of plain text and structured data and move between them quite naturally as the situation demands. It's also really not that hard to write a few basic utils or fork old ones to the new scheme as a proof of concept, but AFAIK no one ever has.

While we're here I'd also like to see more experimentation on using file desciprtors with GUI/TUI tools. I've had good like using things like vim in the middle of a pipe for data that needs a human touch before being passed through. The suckless world uses dmenu quite a bit.

It somehow doesn't feel like he's ramming this through on the last day of his presidency because he cares deeply about the safety and security of the citizens of the USA.

Publishing anonymously should be something the government is actively trying to protect, not criminalize.

Yes hackernews should improve. Anyone can post anything anywhere. But they all allow the other person to clarify things and comment.

I do care about internet because my clients care. I lost a client because of this reason and he told me about it after I asked multiple questions.
Terrorism, by definition to many, requires the intentional infliction of terror to achieve those aims. That’s why it’s called “terrorism” rather than “political violence”

It really isn't much to ask for. If you're making arguments based on really really shaky data you should not be making them at all. Comparing OECD regions to Chinese administrative metro areas is really quite absurd. The variance in Montréal for example depending on what you call a city can be almost 2x.

For example, if you take the Tokyo Metro Area, you find a GDP per capita of 48k, with a PPP ratio of 0.98 we get 48k USD PPP.

Comparing it to the Beijing Metro Area you have a 39k USD PPP.

This took around 4 minutes to do for the two cities, so I really don't think it's a quantity of rigor you should pay for, nor an unreasonable amount of scrutiny for an internet comment at all. I was just trying to get the commenter to realize the issue with using two completely different data series in a comparison.

You can also compare for example Jiangsu and South Kanto to find similar numbers.

Some things, like duration of an authoritarian leader’s regime (think North Korea), are currently capped by a limited duration of a human life.

No one expects Putin to retire from being president of Russia before his health declines or he dies. Without aging, there’s almost no hope of change for people and no reason for him to step down.

Overpopulation and planet resource exhaustion also would be much worse if any significant quantity of people cease to age and die.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/linhanhcat/2019/11/27/corals-en...

Part of the challenge is that saying "coral" is like saying "rainbow" in that app... which also gives you a brown color.

There are coral colored corals, there are green, blue... but its more in the pinks and reds than other colors.

https://www.ba-bamail.com/content.aspx?emailid=7375

The color https://alexbeals.com/projects/colorize/search.php?q=coral is most likely the color of the environment that the coral is in rather than the color of the coral itself.

Unless its based on https://www.pnas.org/content/117/5/2232 and similar images... in which case, that's rather depressing.
Probably because you have an affinity for them from the outset. Just as those who have respect for left wing media likely had an affinity for liberals from the outset.

It's long been my opinion however, that they need to be dealt with. Just as the pet terrorists they control need to be dealt with. I have zero respect for them, and look forward to seeing a lot of these ideological extremist organizations dismantled over the next decade.

It's time to turn up the heat on these people so high that they won't know who to trust.
A fierce e-commerce competitor? Unless GameStop has some massively successful digital storefront I'm unaware of, I highly doubt that.

This is almost certainly the last generation of Sony and Microsoft consoles to support physical media. Even Nintendo has been pushing hard into digital distribution with the Switch.

Couple that with the ongoing death of malls and increasing popularity of PC and mobile gaming platforms (which GS has practically no stake in), and the future looks very bleak for GameStop.
On Linux? I just tried installing browserpass-chromium from AUR and it works fine in Chromium but not in Brave.
For the record there are dozens of alt app stores on Android.
Japan was a benefactor of Imperialism - its like comparing Algeria and France. Singapore, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are city states and completely incomparable, and South Korea also heavily used state capitalism and incredibly non-liberal policies until it got richer than where China is at right now. It's also a much smaller country.

As for the rest, you're completely missing the point. Liberal capitalism's single greatest issue for the developing world is the middle income trap.

Hi, author of the article here. If you can remember or find any additional details about this, I would be curious to learn more about it. I admittedly didn't research the dry ice section too deeply because it is so ubiquitous.

This NPR All Things Considered clip made me wonder if dry ice might be more complicated than I thought: https://www.npr.org/2020/12/24/950102003/does-u-s-have-enoug... Note how the interviewee's business is located in Miami but the dry ice comes from Georgia. Surely a populous state like Florida has local dry ice production?

Also, fun fact: "[Fearing a dry ice shortage,] the Wisconsin Cheese Makers Association sent a letter to state and federal officials asking that 350,000 pounds of dry ice a week be set aside." Source: https://www.cbs58.com/news/cheese-industry-threatened-by-cov...

That would just worsen the “lame duck” issue we already have.[0] As @ac29 said, we should shorten the time between election and inauguration.

Aside: As it stands, the constitution sets when Inauguration Day is (20th Amendment), so the only option it to modify the US Code which sets Election Day (Tuesday, between November 2-8 inclusive)[1]

> Essentially I want to invest all my savings in finding a job that I like

That's a very interesting distillation. It seems like you've already decided it's possible to find life "meaning" at work.

Like other comments have mentioned, you've provided no information as to what "meaningful" looks like to you.

I have a friend/former colleague that hated work. We would complain in the lunchroom together about the insanity of cooperate life. I quit the job for an equally insane (but much better paying) role.

A few years later, we caught up for a beer. He quit a few months after I did and got a job with the local government maintaining a wetland area near a large city. He was getting paid 65K per year and absolutely loved the work more than anything. He loved the fact he was actively saving something everyday and wasn't in an office.

Other than the above friend, I know exactly zero other people IRL that claim to have get significant "meaning" from work. Including myself.

OK, but what about attacking a federal courthouse for several weeks straight in Portland? All cases had to be moved to another site in a neighboring state. I don't think they should be charged with sedition, but it clearly fits the statute, which states:

"If two or more persons in any State or Territory, or in any place subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, conspire [...] to oppose by force the authority thereof, or by force to prevent, hinder, or delay the execution of any law of the United States"

Using violent attacks and arson to force a federal courthouse to close down would seem to fit that definition.

While it's true that the reason the mob attacked the Capitol was arguably worse, both antifa and the Trump mob attacked federal buildings and tried to harm those guarding them.

Also, regarding your source: our media has sadly divided into two, so no resource you list will convince anyone.

Either they already read the resource, and so already agree with you, or they don't read it and know better than to trust it, since it's a partisan source.

We would all do better to stop encouraging open partisanship among the media, and reward non-partisan perspectives. NB: this doesn't have to mean non-opinionated perspectives, although those should be clearly labeled as editorials (now, editorials have blended with news).

The Remote Work Mega Guide: Working from Home in the Age of Covid-19
Sites like Danbooru have a very strong bias to female characters in at least poses which at least slightly imply sexual content.

This explains a lot about why the generated images are the way they are (having a lot of borderline NSFW pictures and even if not having poses which are sexualized and/or imply sexual content).

While Anime tend to be more open to such things and tend to have often quite a bit of fan service the generated images are way to much biased compared to the "normal" anime/manga content you find on platform like crunchyroll or similar.

I mean a non negligible part of the pictures they used have likely hentai variations if you disable safe mode (If Danbooru is anyway similar to a site I used a view years ago to get nice screen background, if used in safe mode. And this seems to be the case.)...

But then due to practical (and maybe copyright) reasons it's very viable to use Danbooru as source but not so much to get snapshots of Anime's or pages from "real" Mangas.
Congrats on the new gig. How has finding housing been? Any tips for other considering a similar move. Someone else mentioned the Gold Card visa. Have you heard or met anyone there that has used that?
This attitude really saddens me. We should be advocating for all protestors to be treated with such gentle touch, not for all protestors to be brutalized the way BLM protestors were. Thankfully, this is the attitude I have heard from most BLM leaders.
The One Week MVP (iguide-whitewater.com)
This is my "one week" MVP of a whitewater kayaking/rafting guidebook. I strongly believe a startup is about testing hypothesis's and a single week & single feature MVP is what I have done to test my hypothesis.
This is the correct take. If it's so easy to do then there should be a button or menu option that does it.
Is 40 years enough time to really establish if something is fundamental? Its not history if its still happening.
Michael Tucker of the YT channel Lessons From the Screenplay has a very very good list of writing books here:

https://www.lessonsfromthescreenplay.com/reading-list

The list is geared towards film media, but is a great guide on writing in general. I've read and annotated my way through all of them with gusto. I can very much recommend Into the Woods and Anatomy of Story as superb guides that really dig in deep into why we humans fall for the same stories time and time again. They are brass-tacks books and pretty philosophical at the same time, a rare combo.

Michael's list is a great place to continue studying film specifically, but writing in general.

Sounds pretty similar to me. Both sides involved an attempted violent incursion into a core zone of the government. On bias checks, I'd probably just ask you to do the same first. Hell, I'm not even American.

One was met with celebration, I recall reddit threads on the top of all celebrating trumps weakness retreating to the bunker. Conversely, looking at msm rw response, they're not too happy with the capitol riots, with the wsj condemming then.

There are many things I dislike from the rw over the left. Their response to rioting isn't one of them.
those dudes who attempted a coup and got pretty close to a hostage situation or even assassinating the Vice President or congressmen

This event made the US seem less like a super stable countries and more like one of those tin pot countries where coups frequently happen. Could it have succeed, probably not even if they did kill the VP but will we see more coup attempts is the real question

The possibility of having to put up with a long-lived dictator doesn't come close to outweighing the terrible humanitarian and economic effects of aging.

Suppose we didn't naturally age, and we did have the problems you mention. Would your solution be to release a virus that crippled everyone's bodies and minds over several decades, which would both severely reduce their quality of life and require them to consume much more medical resources?
It's on by default. If I had a complaint about Brave, is that it's a bit "noisy" by default. I'd like more customization options on setup so that there's less customization I have to do once the browser is installed.

AMD looked far worse... if Intel is “dying” with a yearly revenue of ~$70B or so AMD should’ve been bankrupt 10 times already.

Intel is managing to compete in per core performance while being essentially 2-3 nodes behind, and generating times the revenue of their competitor.

Zen is awesome and we need more competition but Intel isn’t nearly as far behind as it was during the P4 days and it’s revenue is nearing ATH and it’s business more diversified it ever been, if you exclude the datacenter and client computing groups it still is bringing in more revenue than AMD.

Yeah the preoccupation with “how will the person use this money” I’ve done away with. I donate money to people. If it’s a scam or they use it for “unhealthy” ends, then I consider that is on them, not me. I gave the money with good intentions. I’m not tied to the outcome.
In addition to wutbrodo, I find that Wikipedia is actually a great starting point to find out more information for yourself.

For example, take the comment that you originally replied to, which asserted "Susan Rosenberg literally bombed the Capitol in 1983 and now serves as vice chair of the board of directors of Thousand Currents, a "non-profit foundation that sponsors the fundraising and does administrative work for the Black Lives Matter global network, among other clients.""

That is obviously a great soundbite that seems tailor made for the "the left ignores the terrorism on their side" argument. But on the Wikipedia page for Susan Rosenberg, you can see what her level of involvement was, see how she was punished (she served 16 years), see what she's been doing since she was released from prison, and follow lots of links to original sources, like the tax return for Thousand Currents.

Snopes is also a great source for stuff like this: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/blm-terrorist-rosenberg/. Again, you don't have to agree with the simple "true/false/mixture" checkbox Snopes puts on their stories. Just read the article, which always has tons of well-researched factual info, and make up your mind for yourself.

My main point is that whenever you see some soundbite or statistic on Twitter, Facebook or HN, it was often taken out of context in order to make an argument. It's usually pretty easy to use Wikipedia as a starting point to find out more about that context.

And to be clear, while I obviously have a point of view, my main point is that you shouldn't take anyone's opinions at face value - the Internet actually makes it pretty easy to find original sources.
