> What am I misunderstanding?

Some hyperbole on my part, sorry. I really meant "official name changes, getting permission from courts etc").

About 30 years ago I married and my wife and I changed our names significantly. California marriage licenses don't mention married names at all. At the time the name law was "you may use any name you want, but may not use your name to commit fraud". Here's what I remember we did, I remember being surprised at how easy it was:

Went to the DMV and said "I want a different name on my DL". Filled out a DL application, handed over the old one and they sent me a new one. No proof of anything required. No birth cert or anything else.

Visited my (small) bank, told them I'd changed my name, showed them the DL and they changed it.

Called the credit card companies and said "please send me my cards in a different name." I recently checked my credit rating and the old name does appear in the "also known as" section (as well as various typos of it and my new name).

Went to the Social security office and they did want to look at my old SS card and my new DL. But that was all -- filled out the "order a replacement card" form and it came in my new name.

I went to the consulate of my (small) country and told them I wanted a different name. I did hand over my marriage license but as it was silent on the topic it didn't help. The consul called my mother who confirmed the change. The consul said "I could hear her eyes rolling through the phone". But they issued me a new passport, which I have renewed several times at different consulates in different countries without issue. Note: had I done this back home I don't think I would have gotten away with it. There the name change is complicated and they issue you a whole new birth certificate!

My wife went to the consulate of her (large and bureaucratic) country. At the time a change like we wanted was not even legal. But as we'd married in the USA they just accepted it as a "local law" change and issued her a new passport which she has also renewed several times without issue.

I never changed the name on my green card and have never had a problem even though it doesn't match my passport. My (now ex) wife's green card was issued in the name in her passport and no proof was ever asked to link the name change, though she may have submitted the marriage license.

We did this all casually over a year or so, though used our new names immediately. There was no rush, and back then people rarely asked for ID anyway so I don't remember anyone ever noticing that I had documents in different names (e.g. CC and DL).

It doesn't much matter to me if its crypto currency or real goods, when markets, stock exchanges float, I think we're insane.

The marketplace should not of itself be valuable. If it is, its extraction of value for the goods/utility being traded. Its rent seeking. The only possible value derives from what is a tax on trades by volume and value, to NOT fund the engine which runs the trades. Sure Lloyd's of London is priceless. Priceless really should mean "does not usefully have a price, in that sense"

If coinbase is worth $100b what does that even mean in terms of the sustained value of the dollar?
Google and many of the other tech giants have played a big role in creating and indulging these activists - this is chickens coming home to roost.
Why give people benefit of the doubt when they're publicly throwing people under the bus?

These people are looking for drama. They're looking for attention and their name attached as some kind of martyr.

The entitlement is insane, you can't work at Google, earn $450k salary and then start a culture war inside Google and create a massive impossible to quantify damage to the company morale and sow discord.

I am siding with Google here.

You keep moving the goal posts with regards to your original point which was generally about privacy. First you did it with the weasel word of “novel” while mocking my “misquoting” of you and then proceeding to reference a product I made no mention of.

Now you’re talking about the specific features located in CH and then talking about “scam artists” with, of course, no meaningful definition or description of what that could possibly mean in this context.

At least try to be coherent and consistent.

I mean, aside from most oil being composed of dead plants rather than dinosaurs (if I remember right). Unless you're counting the bits of dinosaur absorbed by those plants before they turned into oil, but I feel like at some point they stopped being dinosaur and started being plant.

Did google lie about a verifiable fact in the Gebru firing? I would doubt that. If you could find something like that I would seriously reconsider how I viewed Google's statements.

But right now what we have is

Google: we fired her for exfiltrating data

Source close to meg as reported by newspaper: she wrote a script to exfiltrate data related Gebru

Meg: no comment

And your conclusion from this is Google is lying and she didn't exfiltrate data?

It's often as simple as mis-tagging. I do a lot of mapping of mountain bike trails (think narrow, hiking-type trails which are also open to bikes) and these are designated as paths (highway=path), open to cycles (bicycle=yes or bicycle=designated) and some mountain biking-specific tags.

What'll often happen is a well-meaning person will come by, often using an editor that doesn't differentiate between types of bicycling, and change the route to be tagged highway=cycleway. This is the tag for things like paved bike paths, such as urban cycling infrastructure.

The result is now these mountain bike trails, narrow/rocky/tight/steep stuff, shows up in tools that offer bike commuters directions. Just... not great.

So many of us keep an eye on the stuff in our area to see that the tags stay as they should.
Good Lord who would do that?
I own the BOOX Note 2, it's an android tablet with some E-Ink friendly modifications. It's the best electronic reading experience I've ever had:

- It's 10.3", perfect for reading PDFs like scientific papers without being too large to carry around.

- The included reader is stellar, with special modes for reading PDFs, comicbooks, etc.

- The included note-taking app is pretty good and fully featured. It integrates with the reader and there's a side-by-side mode.

- It supports every open format I've tried: PDFs, DJVU, epub, mobi and more. (Haven't tried PS.)

- I can scribble on all document types, including ebooks.

- I can install apps from the app store. In particular this means I can read my Kindle library and Wallabag feed, and...

- with Syncthing syncing is set and forget. When I download a PDF or book on my computer, I simply pick up the tablet and start reading it. Any notes I make are synced back to my laptop.

- Of course, the above is in addition to the standard E-Ink features you'd expect: It lasts for weeks on a charge, the reading experience in bright sunlight is fantastic, it's lighter than an iPad, zero eye strain, etc.

I installed only the software I need for reading and syncing, but there's a lot more you could do with it since the play store and F-droid are available. You can use it as an external monitor, for instance.
There is an effective, rigorous school of psychology called Neurolinguistic Programming but it's got a bad rep in scientific/academic circles (the Wikipedia entry calls it out as pseudoscience.)

FWIW I was cured of a chronic, crushing depression in a single session that lasted no more than ten minutes or so. (I don't know exactly how long it was because I was in a deep trance. Subjectively it was only a few moments.)
This reminds me of an anecdote I once read or heard about a person curing their World of Warcraft addiction. The person used an unofficial server with cheats to instantly get the best gear, then proceeded to one-shot the toughest boss. After that, playing normally felt pointless to them.
The Martian atmosphere and magnetosphere are both substantially worse at blocking radiation than those of Earth, so I'd imagine radiation would, at best, only be marginally less of an issue than, say, in interplanetary space.
I just watched the whole thing again... it was a refresher course at Carlin University.
If memory serves, the radiation environment of the Martian surface is not too much worse than LEO. If so, radiation would probably not be that much an issue.
The current plan is for a launch in 2026 to send a NASA-designed rocket, and a rover and an orbiter designed by ESA, to Mars. The rover will collect Perseverance's sample tubes and place them in the rocket, which will carry the tubes into Mars orbit. The orbiter will rendezvous, collect the sample tubes, and carry them back to Earth, landing in Utah in 2031.

Edit: to your other points, I've thought of some justifications for this architecture:

* The sample return mission will have very limited payload capacity, so the samples should be chosen on the basis of potential scientific value, and selected from a large land area. This can probably best be done with a multi-year rover mission equipped with the best scientific instruments and locomotion available.

* Perseverance's scientific instruments are useful for studying rocks that won't be sampled, so spending weeks or months ferrying samples to a return vehicle would be a sub-optimal use of its very valuable time.

* Mechanically interfacing (to transfer samples) with an orbital solid-fuel rocket is probably somewhat dangerous, so it's best for Perseverance if there's a less-valuable robot to do that.

* The return vehicle will probably be limited in where it can land, because it will have to land on ground that is suitable to launch from. It is unlikely to be landed anywhere close to a bunch of interesting rocks and formations.

* Science instruments, and the manipulators to use them, are heavy, power-hungry, and fragile. If the sample-collection rover doesn't have any, then it can be better-specialized for the task: faster, less fragile, able to traverse softer or more rugged ground. Traveling many tens of kilometers to collect samples may not be nearly as difficult for it as for any previous, science-burdened rover.

What drugs are best at extinguishing those negative priors? Vorinostat worked for me when a slew of antidepressants did not, but it's hard to find and can have side effects. It was really astounding. I just felt normal, unafraid, but not in a weird amped up way as with Adderall. I could just talk to people fluidly and think normally.
I don't know if they are the best option, but Kobo stands out in terms of being a practical reader and being hackable.

A nice feature on most models prior to the Clara HD is an internal uSD card. (This is different from the externally accessible uSD slot found on some models.) Pop open the case, remove the card, make an image, and you can be assured of restoring it to a working state without any fancy tools. With the uSD card in a computer, you can examine it and modify it. The models that I have cracked open also have a place to add a header for a serial connection, though I haven't tried using it.

Kobo does not appear to have any interest in locking down their devices. Software updates are shipped as zip compressed files wrapping a gzipped tarball. That tarball is simply a directory tree containing files to add or replace. Many third-party modifications are distributed in this manner and you can do your own modifications without ever cracking the case open. (Though I do suggest opening it up and making a backup before modifying it.) As far as I know, there is no protection on the proprietary software components and Kobo hasn't said anything about third-party patches. This has been the case for nearly a decade now, which is why I lean more heavily on the word modifications rather than hacks. Most of what can be done relies upon an developer's knowledge of Linux.

There are also various projects that you can learn from. Some provide tools to make developing software for the Kobo easier, while you can examine others to figure out how to setup a toolchain. I have seen C, Rust, Lua, and Python based projects for Kobo readers.

The Kobo development forum on the Mobileread forums is the place to check out for more in depth information.

Why assume that? Maybe there's a bug in their internal software, and it's cheaper to create a program that checks if you're banned and automatically creates a new account, than it is to fix their internal problem.

> Smart, unfortunately I didn't think of this. I feel like if I did, maybe I wouldn't have spent so much time on this game. My addiction to the game really took a toll an people around me who cares / loves me. I feel bad, but really there was nothing I could do except finish.

I'm wondering if there is a certain personality / mindset that is susceptible to gaming addiction.

I sat next to the NAG maintenance crew at lunch sometimes, back in the 80s in Leeds university who held a contract (I think it moved around, possibly by design). They were fierce, collectivist correctness freaks. Outside code was reviewed mercilessly. Nothing anyone said about their experiences coding mattered as much as what they did to that library. If they stuffed it up, bridges fell down during construction or rockets blew up, and they knew it.

I remain in awe. All those jokes about real programmers are wrong. Real programmers take great care.

They literally denied firing her to begin with, stating that they had instead had simply accepted her resignation.

No I'm saying there's probably more information that we're missing that completely changes the circumstances (as was the case if you only looked at Google's statements on Gebru's firing). The word on the street is that she saw a wrongful termination coming and made backups of emails to discuss with her lawyers.
The only thing keeping me from getting apple silicon right now is 8gb of ram. I mean I don't even have an option to upgrade. i don't care how much apple has optimized the architecture. If you make your is require like 4gbs idle, 8gbs is not enough for the other stuff I use. Also the fact that they don't even offer 1tb memory sub 2k right now is a joke. I know they milk people but this is ridiculous.

So the story here is that Pinboard used to be a site that charged a one-time signup fee for basic accounts, and in 2015 switched to an annual fee. People who signed up before the change in business model were grandfathered and grandmothered in, since a deal was a deal.

Most companies solve the problem of lifetime accounts by going out of business or pivoting, but this isn't really the Pinboard style. At the same time, the situation in 2021 is different than in 2015, let alone in 2009. As outlined in the letter, having old-style users move to the new model would give me resources to do a lot more on the site than just keep it running.

Over the years, a number of people told me they'd be happy to pay annually to support the site. It occurred to me that I would also be happy to take their money. So I finally built a mechanism that pre-2015 users could use to voluntarily convert accounts over.

I was looking for a low-drama way to announce this, laying out my reasons while not forcing anyone who didn't want to switch to make the change. So I sent out an email. But here we are on the front page of Hacker News instead.
Perhaps I'm mistaken, but I'm under the impression that most (though not all) "$8/week" apps are scams or at least very fishy if not outright scams.

The title isn't really correct: it's not "rejecting" apps, just asking for clarifications why the subscription charge is so high. I can see how it makes sense to scrutinize apps with extremely high subscription charges.
Money isn’t usually enough. I walked away from a job paying more than $1m/yr (to be clear - I am not rich or financially independent, the stock is still illiquid atm and I live in a 400sqft in-law unit). You need satisfaction overall with your environment.

I kept asking myself how much a year of my life was worth and it turns out - unless it’s fucking insane money ($10mil+ liquid) then I can’t suffer through something I disagree with or basically feel like I’m someone’s bitch.

I think eventually to a person it feels like you’re living a dishonest life because you’re working on something you disagree with but you have to shove down those feelings to get paid. It grows resentment. But who knows, I’m really only speaking to my own experience.
Fed contributes, but it's hardly a singular explainer for the current market mania.

The chart you shared hasn't even changed significantly since July.

The Fed didn't print enough money to buoy Tesla 1000% or send Bitcoin up 100% in a month. There's no mechanism directing money straight from the Fed into the riskiest assets. Market mania has taken hold.

How does them making, or losing, billions of $ affect the pleasure you get?

The farmers ploughs the fields and harvests the crops, and earns his reward. Others will take that crop and make billions more in distribution, retail sales, as ingredients in other foods and so on.

Each works for his reward, and if the satisfaction you get is not enough then you need to seek a space elsewhere in the value chain.

If it is enough then don't worry about how others extract their value - it doesn't impact on you. The Baker is as worth of his bread as the Farmer is of the wheat.

I've said this before, but if it's not accurate then whoever said it publicly should be fired immediately because that is actionable if it's a lie. Google has extremely good lawyers and a PR machine that cares what they say. There's absolutely no way that they are plainly making it up.
Haha. Fair enough. Thanks for being a good sport.

There are reports that dreaming is some sort of brain healing process. There are some build ups that occur during the day and thus sleeping cleans this up. Are there are definite conclusions why people dream at all?

From personal experience there are dreams I remember vividly to dreams that I know I had and then easily forget as I wake up again in the morning. Dreaming is such an interesting phenomenon.
I think a bet on coinbase, not bitcoin is the best bet for anyone who is looking toward betting for a future of cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin has a lot going against it- the tether fraud stuff, connections to money laundering, slow transaction speed.

Coinbase is tied to none of those things, and has the unique advantage of having a reputation in both security and compliance in an industry full of greenhorns.

It's not a big corp vs small corp distinction; it's a question of how important the employees in question at the company are who were in the more powerful position. A large company isn't going to bend over backwards for a seven rungs down middle manager committing the wrongful termination, but when the most influential members of the company are involved all the stops come out. It's just more likely that a small company involves extremely influential to the company employees.
