It's not clear how much it'll continue to mutate. Since this is a brand new virus, it's had 100M+ people so far to experiment on, and clearly the early versions were not as efficient at spreading as the newer variants.

Once we have herd immunity through vaccination (since natural immunity is rather hit-or-miss) I would hope the rate of mutations slows down significantly.
Gentrification is not an issue of one race displacing another, it is an issue of wealthier people moving into a poorer area and displacing the people who live there and destroying their communities. The racial aspect of it is related to the uneven distribution of wealth in America.

Do you have a case in point?

I've seen plenty of things were they couldn't meet the demand, but were they were simply taking the high ground?
You are definitely correct, but you need to factor in the actions that puts someone in a place to get that environmental effect. If your friend had motivation to learn the language they would presumably seek out ways to practice it (e.g engaging more with their colleagues or actively seeking documentation in the foreign language).

One directly practical example, since I'm also an engineer living in a foreign country: a lot of the times when I first interact with someone they will ask me if I prefer to speak in English or in their language, and I will always take the opportunity to speak their language to get the practice in.

Since this thread is about the similarity between learning languages and bodybuilding, I guess you could make the comparison between someone working a job that leads to natural exercise (e.g construction) and someone who works a more sedentary job but seeks out exercise on their own.
> Isn't this exactly what IP law is for? Why do you need PDF readers of all things to also enforce your terms?

Yeah IP law is for enforcing IP in court. But your position is you should be entitled to use any content and software in any way you want without any mechanisms attempting to reinforce the contract outside of a court. Essentially you’re saying “if an author explicitly says I’m allowed to use their content but not this way, anyone but the law trying to ensure I comply with the contract I agreed to is wrong”.

If I made some work that said you were free to do anything with it other than defecate on it, and you agree to it, there’s nothing inherently wrong with me trying to take measures besides a lawsuit to try to prevent you from that.
I'm not from the USA but I live here now. I came from a country where you log into a government website and hit a button to confirm your return because your employer already typed it all in and sent it in earlier... The idea that you're printing out forms and filling them out is crazy. The idea that you have to type in numbers someone already has is crazy.

I don't think it's a case of people making free tax filing is difficult. It genuinely is far far harder than it has to be.
Ugh. I rebooted my machine last week and VirtualBox and CUDA broke because Ubuntu upgraded the kernel. When can we have a system that updates itself without breaking stuff?

you're saying that it burns as much energy, to mine state? It is a form of blockchain which demands mining, and so incurs the energy cost?
Easy for you, yes. As someone who has helped others with tax preparation, plenty of people find it daunting. Many Americans struggle with both financial literacy and literal literacy.

Tax preparation should be automatic and handled by the government, full stop.
Sampling vs counting. But, I get your point.
I find that the NY Post has a better grasp of written copy - their writers are often cleverer and a cut above the Times even though they're writing for a worse paper.
One Thousand Two Hundred and Fifty-Eight Pounds of Sons [2014]
If anything _your_ comment sounds like propaganda from the tax prep companies: "hey! Why you hassling us! See this bloke filed his taxes by filling out the forms himself, people always have that option! All we do is offer a paid easier option! Also don't mind us lobbying the hell out of the status quo which is quite literally insane if you compare it to any other developed country! "
Hacker news automatically changes the capitalization of submission titles like that, unfortunately
Snaps, flatpak, and similar containerized package distribution are all trying to build an app store to monetize software distribution. And an attempt to get a software distribution method gain popularity across linux distribution lines.

While I will never use these methods, and I think they are completely flawed ideas, I think the goal of them is a natural evolution of fragmented similar systems.

The BSDs have the same problem as linux distributions. The open source BSDs share a lot of code but aren't quite the same. If several of them got very popular, someone would attempt to make a method to distribute software across all of them. Though in BSD this is harder because in linux land at least the kernel is standardized.
lolol thats a good play, they are now
MacOS is not based on BSD, it's an old legend. NeXTStep was designed to be "compatible" with 4.3BSD (the diagram on Wikipedia is wrong because of this confusion).

Companies don't care about theoretical definitions of talent (which for that matter this author fails to provide either, despite tying themselves up in knots to somehow try and discredit the notion of it).

Companies do care about performance / output, and anyone who works in a group setting can see that there is often a clear difference in this metric for people, and for many people this difference is consistent (it's not a matter of having high days or low days, their highs are consistently high or above average).

In my current team of 8 engineers, 2 are clearly way above average in their overall performance and output. They pay attention to detail, they actually think through their designs, they care about code quality, they are diligent in code reviews (while others mostly just rubber stamp each other's shitty code) and hold each other accountable, they are useful sounding boards for design discussions while the others just nod along, and they are generally proactive with finding bugs and fixing them.

As a manager, I want more of these people on my team, except there is just no way to actually find this out by interviewing. All these people did similarly well in their interviews, and in fact one of the so-called 10x candidates did less well, because they are a bit more polite in nature, that causes them to sound non-committal at times.

The only way thing works is a direct testimonial from someone who has worked with them, but this is not scalable, and these days we are told we shouldn't rely on that anyway as it favors candidates with 'networks' and disfavors candidates from underrepresented minorities.

References rarely talk ill about a candidate, but when you ask a reference about a good candidate, they literally start gushing with praise, while for the average or mediocre ones they say generic things and are relatively muted in their praise.

Many industries work this way. In the legal industry, for example, interviews are mostly perfunctory / nominal, because they work through a chain of strong recommendations. Of course, the flip side of that is that it is extremely credentialist.

The Tech industry is the opposite. Most generally smart people can get in by doing a few hundred hours of Leetcode but you have no idea how they will actually be on their jobs.
Intuit is truly a scummy company with the way they behave here and elsewhere. A simple example of one of these behaviors is that you cannot export data as CSV from Quickbooks Online, instead if only exports as a PDF or as an Excel XLSX file. But the XLSX is carefully crafted so it reads out zeroes (0s) in all value fields if opened with LibreOffice or any conversion tools to get a CSV.

Why do I know this? I don't have any Windows computers, I mostly work on a Mac, and Intuit doesn't make TurboTax Business for Mac, only for Windows. TaxAct has an online service for filing 1120S/K-1 for LLCs which can import data via CSV that works on any OS, so Intuit responded by no longer offering CSV exports and ensuring they're broken using F/OSS tools. Really is making it a challenge to comply with the law this year for my LLC without me having to have Windows + Office 365 licenses.
Depends what you're looking for. If you're used to Ubuntu you'll find Debian to be similar: just a less-polished, less-branded UI and maybe slightly older (perhaps more stable) packages.

You might also like Fedora as a pretty mainstream, up to date desktop distro, but under the hood you'll find more differences like rpm instead of apt.

edit: I'd add that Linux distros are complicated: the issue in this article is hardly a reason to leave Ubuntu if it's otherwise working well for you.
The effort will be reduced to typing sentences and selecting emotions from a dropdown menu. That opens up a whole new can of worms for a society that already has trust issues.
You just said in a public location and with no sense of shame that an appropriate consequence for trying to escape your country is drowning. During the years of communism, you had to be a pretty heartless Stalinist to say that those shot by border guards “bear the main responsibility”. It’s a very coarse and degrading thing to say, and I don’t see how anyone can say it without an ideology that denigrates human beings in their minds. If you think people should be sent back once they cross, fine, whatever. But you’re advocating something else, and it’s monstrous precisely because it’s seemingly banal.
yeah that thing is tough to kill, isn't it?
AZ has already said they are waiting until their new US-based trail finishes before even applying. They haven't finished recruiting, 28 days between shots, then (I think) 75 infections in the participants before they will report interim data.

It is going to be quite a while.
Google (Bing, DDG) pictures of women in the past, 50s - 90s era, before photoshop and heavy makeup.

The "average" women had body shapes that would place her in top Instagram model lineup today. Their basic maintenance diet was eating normal food at the time. Most didn't exercise much, but they walked everywhere.

These days, Instagram photos can be manipulated drastically. But, videos are more difficult to manipulate. Look for videos without obvious filters and with them swimming or similar activity, where they can't use much makeup.
What is interesting to me is the economics of buyers and sellers within a Casino. People are buying knowingly, or possibly oblivious to not knowing at all that the odds are not in your favor. And yet the buys (providers) and sellers are here and trading with each other.
Wealth and race is inextricably tied in the US though. Any wealth issue like gentrification will inevitably bring up racial passions as well.

You’ve made excellent points about why we shouldn’t be trying to emulate the human brain. I’m sure, collectively, we can come up with something better.
I had fullscreen ads on unlock with another barcode scanner app - IDK if it was this one or another one, but I remember blaming several other apps before figuring out it was a barcode scanner and removing it. The really frustrating part was that trying to open the app switcher to find out what app this was coming from would also dismiss the ad somehow.
You can tell there's no losing by the fact that these kind of reporting about how the whole thing is rigged has been around for years now and nothing has changed. That generally shows how locked in this whole situation is.

I have found the one big feature of Ubuntu that I miss in Debian is PPAs. Other than that it's largely the same. Configuring the system requires more file editing and command line work than I remember with Ubuntu, but the documentation helps quite a bit.

EDIT: By default, non-free drivers are placed in a separate repository, and receive less support. In my case the biggest pain has been Nvidia drivers. I needed a cheap card to drive an HDMI display and all they had at the store was a GT710. That meant installing the proprietary drivers, since the free alternative had poor performance last time I checked. Every few updates it breaks, and I need to reinstall it and sign the kernel module each time. That is something to watch out for if you switch over.
I never thought about using diff+patch as an alternative to tar, but I just tried this and it does work as expected:

mkdir dir1 dir2 dir3
for x in {1..99};do echo $x > dir1/$x.txt;date >> dir1/$x.txt;done
diff -urN dir2 dir1 > dirs.diff
cd dir3
patch -i ../dirs.diff -p1

After that, dir3 has the same contents as dir1 had. I couldn't figure out how to make diff consider all files in a directory as new though, without having an empty directory to compare it to.
Hm. GNU exists to unify software under a single philosophical umbrella - the thing that all GNU software has in common is a fanatical attitude to software freedom.

What does all systemd software have in common? What's the unifying principle there?
The NY Times can be just as bad as any other online rag. They're incentivized to publish hit pieces, stories to spark outrage, anything to get clicks. Seems for many at the NYT, journalistic integrity is just some antiquated notion.

Take this admission, straight from the horse's moouth [1]:

> I’ve made my way up as a reporter in the time of social media and most-read lists. I know what will make a piece pop to the top of that list as soon as I write it down in my notebook. No one has ever pressured me to get clicks, but I’ve been praised all my career with euphemisms like “really knowing my audience.” I can see on the site when my story is above someone else’s. I like it when it is. And I love the warm embrace of the social media scrum.

> One easy path toward the top of the list and toward that embrace is communal outrage. Toss something (someone) into that maw, and it’s like fireworks. I have mastered that game. For a couple years, that desire for attention — to feel the crack of my byline hitting the conversation — propelled me more than almost anything else. I began to see myself less as a mirror and more as a weapon. I learned how to weaponize charm, which everyone does, but I do exceptionally well. I would call some stories kills. Resisting virality when you know exactly how to get it is like resisting a cigarette (I love smoking but do not smoke). When I wanted another viral story, I would talk about needing a hit.

> Stirring outrage can be good. It can very well be the right thing to do. I won an award for working on an investigation series into predators using social video games to groom children. I’m glad that series made people mad.

> But it’s extremely hard to control this tool. I would other times thrust a massive spotlight onto a person who would suffer from it and for no good reason. As an intern at the Chronicle, I got a man fired because he talked to me for a story, and some part of me knew it would happen. The story was a completely silly one, about private women’s clubs in the city, and he was a sweet and gentle man. I still feel sick when I think about him. And I think about him a lot.

> In becoming increasingly driven by the pleasure of attention and conflict, I was sharpening my cruelest edges. The roar of Twitter on my side meant the kill was justified and good. I was using the tools that had been gifted to me — my love of people, my ability to write — but pursuing only attention, which is just the affection of the mob.

> I do not want to cultivate sociopathy in myself. And cultivating sociopathy was exactly what I was doing.

That may be your perspective and the academic treatment of gentrification, but it’s use almost entirely seems to have been racial in recent years.

Wealthy black people moving into a neighborhood of other black people, and displacing them, gets no attention. Wealthy POC moving into a poor white neighborhood happens all the time in Atlanta, no mention of gentrification.

The word may having a different meaning in the dictionary, but it’s actual use almost always seems to be racial, and almost always about white people displacing non whites
Well to address the point you are making about poor people. Looking at the current poor population of North America, the cheap meat based diet is nothing short of a disaster to general public health ridden with all sorts of dietary caused diseases such as obesity, diabetes, coronary diseases and so on. Surely, a shift towards plant based diets for this demographic couldn’t make things any worse than it already is.
You need to compare the rates of success, not the absolute numbers. I bet there are more homicide attempts on men than there are homicide attempts on women.

The clip in [0] is standard Modern Greek with a cavaet - the pronounciation of TV anchormans tend to be quite distinctive, as they usually over-stress their tonality for comprehensibility. If you hear Greeks in a casual conversation it's a bit more dull than that.
And if you want your program to work on windows as well, you face a similar set of problems with different tools and names. It's been interesting watching C# go round this again too; finally with .Net core you can actually link an executable rather than ship a pile of DLLs.

However, one Linux tip: .a files aren't magic, they're actually just an 'ar' archive, and in some cases you can use this to combine existing .a files together if you want to for some reason.
Many Mac OSX userspace utilities were forked from FreeBSD. It's true that the OS as a whole is not really a FreeBSD derivative, but there definitely is some shared code.
This is precisely why I have auto-updates turned off. No minor security or bug updates are worth getting an all-out infection(or unexpectedly losing features).
Sometimes you want a different balance — say, in embedded systems. If you think about busybox, it does something similar, only doing a better job at looking like the traditional userland.

There is nothing bad about it. What I find bad is forcing everyone to jump on the same bandwagon, no matter which bandwagon. If I wanted choices made for me, I'd buy a Mac.
I'm not sure why it doesn't seem to be more well known, but CreditKarma has allowed free filing of taxes (incl. capital gains), and was recently acquired by Intuit. Last I read they were under investigation by the Department of Justice because of the implications they were eliminating a competitor.

Comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24038559

I've used it for the past 2 years, and it has worked great for me, albeit I don't have very complicated taxes. I'm actually afraid of what happens if the acquisition goes through, definitely expecting the free tax filing to disappear soon after that occurs.
The Jordan Peterson df was quite good. I made a few sound bytes to send to some friends as a gag, but they were already aware it was in the wild. The compression is probably the worst here, but it was fun when it was up. https://www.notjordanpeterson.com/

I'm not a body builder, but I was a competitive powerlifter for awhile and still am a serious lifter now. In my experience, serious lifters of either gender (including myself) tend to have trauma from the past that got them into it and helped the hobby stick. Typically they were either fat, underweight, short, or weak; they felt looked down on; or some combination of these things, and they were angry about it. Alternatively, they felt powerless for some reason and they felt that lifting empowered them and gave them control.

As George Leeman (an accomplished powerlifter) once said: "to lift these kinds of weights is not a happy thing...you do not try and pick up 800 lbs and fucking look like you're going to fucking kill somebody before you do it because everything is fucking great".
In Ireland, employees pay as they go through the year and don't have to file return. For self employed there is very simple online system provided by the Government. I despise the US tax system.
