Doesn't matter in the least Samsung phones are now some of the most malware infected phones out there.

Check google play store reviews of Carrier Hub[1], and Mobile Installer from SoftBank[2].

Both were installed by Samsung in a recent mandatory, forced within 72 hours update

Neither can be uninstalled without root, and will show uninstalled and instantly re-install itself,since both have root access...which they say they keep from us for 'security'.

Fuck Samsung I will never touch their garbage again.

Or running machines to destruction and taking the downtime costs (which the dysfunctional organisation has already built into their business model, since they cannot get their employees to grade then right).

I agree that there's a danger that this is easier to justify on Powerpoint than down in the dust and mud of real life industrial financials. (Pretty sure that gold mines do not stay open when the price of gold is too low to be able to pay for forgotten grease on conveyors.)

Source: countless posts on /r/skookum referring to idiot management that runs machines to destruction then drives maintenance teams to work overtime to stop the "unplanned" downtime.
>UW offers three-year degrees.

Not just in Canadian universities, I believe it is pretty common and the parent commenter is just not aware.

I went to Georgia Tech, a public school in Atlanta. While the "planned" curriculum is supposed to fit in 4 years, the median is actually around 4.5-5 years. But there are some people who manage to graduate in 3.5 or 3 years (I know 2 of those personally).

In most schools in the US, there is no such thing as "years". You have the classes you need to take to graduate in your program, and it is up to you how to manage that workload. Wanna take 12 credit hours per semester and graduate in 5 years? Sure. Want to take 18-20 hours per semester and graduate in a bit over 3? Absolutely.

Of course some classes have prerequisites and time overlaps, so it isn't 100% freeform, but you can always control the pace at which you graduate. At least that was the experience at my public college, as well as that of almost everyone else I talked to.
At least in Germany you can also buy electricity that is 100% renewable at 0 g CO2/kWh. It also does not really cost much more (though we generally have pretty high electricity prices because of taxes on electricity).

Does anyone know what decibel thresholds are? I’ve been falling asleep with podcasts played quietly. It isn’t loud at all and feels comforting, but obviously is louder than no podcast. I’m wondering if that would be enough to trigger some of the hormonal cascade they discuss.
Ahh.

Yes, infact I took French again at a different community college and passed.

The first community college I went too tried to cram 6 semester units into a single class. This still had the effect of derailing my life as I had to pick a different school to transfer to.
I remember that, luckily we were spared in Toronto.

The above poster said US culture is "far from being a place where only whites thrive".

I was pointing out that a culture where the stoning of children of colour is normalized is not 'thriving' for them.

Remember we're talking about history not the present day.

As for the article itself, I don't think the idea that Robert's Rules supports white supremacy holds any weight. The author essentially said that it helps those in power as they control the discussion, which is true, and implies that those in power are white supremacists. The later is arguable. I'd say it was most definitely true in the past (Jim Crow laws were wildly popular when first proposed), but not true currently.
Outside perspective - here in Europe, enormous numbers of people in late middle age to old age return to university out of love of learning. Despite low to negligible impact on wages etc. They generally have better outcomes in terms of overall grades also. There's a boatload of research into intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation that supports the idea that we have an innate love of learning.

>You aren't holding it if you can't draw from it.

That doesn't sound plausible.

In my personal case, I can maintain a clear image but be unable to translate it accurately to paper or to another medium (electronic or not) since it involves skill. The fidelity I am able to attain has improved as my skill has improved, and I can clearly see the frustrating differences between the image in my mind and what I then drew without yet being able to remedy it. If the proposition were correct neither of these things would be possible.
Would you feel the same way if house republicans sent letters to twitter asking how many users used the #blm hashtag last summer? It seems to me that we'd get lots of headlines declaring that they were attempting to silence anyone in favor of police reform.
The hypocrisy is present on both sides of the debate. And it seems over the decades both sides have been taking turns leading the war on freedom of expression. Not long ago it was the evangelical christians, now its social media activists and Big Tech.

Freedom of expression is a fundamentally liberal ideal, and yet at the current moment there are many self proclaimed liberals who are diligently working to silence ideas they don't like.

>liberal: willing to respect or accept behavior or opinions different from one's own; open to new ideas.
One trick I have used to overcome this is to use a virtual card service. If you have a Capital One card, you get this for free (download "Capital One Eno" extension), but there is also Privacy.com which does the same thing linked to any bank account. So when someone needs a credit card, I will generate a virtual card (right inside the browser plugin, its really slick and easy) for that website. They will verify the card, and then I can go and deactivate that card. At least with Capital One you can keep the virtual card open, but just deactivated so it declines if they try to charge it. If you ever decide you want them to charge you then you go flip the switch and the card number works again for that site. I generate a different virtual card for every online subscription.

This allows you to get around the credit card wall, without fear of them actually being able to charge the card.

I also use this trick for any annual membership type things. I will put in a virtual card number to pay the annual fee, then after they charge the fee I will deactivate that virtual card (but not delete it). Now if a year from now they charge the card without warning me, it will decline. They usually send you an email saying it declined, at which point you can either leave that card deactivated and you now easily cancelled the service, or you want to keep the service you can go and activate that card back up and the next time they try to charge the card again (usually 48 hours later or so) it will go through.

If anyone knows of other ways to create virtual cards, please let me know. I am currently using Capital One's virtual cards because 1) it is free if you have a Capital One credit card, 2) it allows unlimited virtual cards, 3) their browser extension is actually really slick at auto-generating cards and filling in the card numbers for you. I have looked into Privacy.com which actually offers a lot more granular control over your virtual cards. But you have to pay monthly for the service and get a limited number of cards, so I stick with Capital One. I have a Capital One card that I don't use for anything other than online subscriptions and virtual cards. But I would love to know if there are other options out there that I could consider.
This isn't a contest. Yes, I know who Dani Bunten (RIP) was, and it was a huge deal. I suspect that, similarly, these people who don't know Roberta Williams don't know about Dani either.

> MULE, Seven Cities of Gold, Heart of Africa > the entire sierra catalog

Those are awesome, groundbreaking games, and the technical limitations they had to work around are very interesting. However, the entire Sierra catalog, and in particular the first two Space Quest games (text interfaces!) hold a special place in my heart. I learned English with them. So I must respectfully disagree :)
Correct me if I'm wrong...

So if I have a power meter I have instant feedback on the power level, and if I know my target power level I can work up to it without overshooting.

HR, unlike power, is a lagging indicator so I am likely to overshoot, especially if I am poor at pacing to begin with.

I believe React developers think in terms of Components now as we used to think of Object/modules in the past. I personally find it easier to encapsulate logic into a Component because it seems more tangible than a plain JS file/module. You can also nest React components to compose logic, for example: composing multiple shaders.

I can't help but think 'puritanism' is a personality trait and there has always been a sizable portion of the American public dedicated to policing the thoughts and behavior of others. The underlying ideology may have changed, but the archetype sure hasn't. Maybe the so-called SJWs of today would have been Temperance activists 100 years ago.
My preference would be to include the functionality of ad blockers but not include any of the actual lists. You would then be able to pull down the same lists that ublock origin provides by default and add any additional lists you want.
> Only those that can afford the elite colleges (or be “smart” enough to get in) will be educated

This is how it is today. The only difference is people are paying $40k+ x 4years to "be educated" but they're not actually learning valuable skills.

> Yet somehow the common response to “college is expensive” is “get rid of it” instead of “make it less expensive.”

We've already tried making it less expensive. Students can get low interest rate loans to attend wherever they'd like – unfortunately that just leads to more colleges, more types of useless degrees, and increased tuition.

Frankly, why would I care if it confuses someone else? My spouse and I don't make important decisions vis-a-vis our relationship, on the basis of other people's convenience.

The "problems" you describe are just...nonexistent, and really not a big deal. I have literally never encountered confusion about our marital status, problems with forms, or difficulty being introduced.

US equities are choosing to make a big deal out of something benign at fairly small amounts. The corporate debt market is massive with almost all blue chips routinely issuing short term debt that dwarfs anything Microstrategy did, for completely ambiguous purposes and the market does not care as long as its paid back. 100 billion $ worth of US commercial paper was issued just in the last month with no fanfare whatsoever and no disclosure on what the proceeds are for. Microstrategy’s dabbling in the corporate debt markets is only news because the CEO wants it to be.

The volumes from a large crowd that can also include institutional can very easily be large.

A recent example is the Saudi Aramco IPO, particiption in that IPO used Saudi retail investors and Saudi payment rails and resulted in $25bn in purchases. That one country’s internal financial system was able to handle it and there was just that much participation.

Tether doesn't have the transparency we will want. Choose a different product for that reason alone, and there are options now.

But assuming the worst, out of the universe of assumptions, is just as useless as assuming the best. The western world says “all this is improbable so lets assume it is impossible”, the eastern world doesn't seem to care and there are examples where much larger sums of money could show that Tether’s growth is not improbable or impossible.

The point is that $30bn of deposits (whether some of that is counted incorrectly on multiple blockchains) is not noteworthy enough on its own to reinforce your conclusion. Many random brokers have that. If they had a stablecoin that was minted upon deposit, you would see the same thing. And here, institutions also use Bitfinex and $30bn is actually then a reflection of how small the crypto markets are.

>Your ideology seems to happen to be different than mine.

if you're saying i'm a racist, i'm not. Is everything that some people say are racist actually racist? No. Is racism a problem? absolutely!

The status quo, however, should be changed by people,not people with machines. Doing nothing, that involves not using obscure algorithms to force people to think a certain way is better, in my opinion. You can't call something ethical just because you think it should be; it must be argued out. Using AI to shut out some more of that argument will only create a universal standard, not necessarily the correct one.
And IVY (Oxbridge and ENA as well) Grads are massively massively over represented in high status and positions of power.

One aspect of Ryzen CPUs that appeals to me is their support for ECC, which some motherboards facilitate. This makes them a good candidate for small/fast ZFS applications. Unfortunately, most ECC RAM is significantly slower than what Ryzen CPU benchmarks typically use. I would really like to know what these numbers would be like with 2666 MHz RAM, and also how that RAM speed bottleneck looks with other Ryzen CPUs like the 5900X, 3950X, 3900X, and 3900XT. The bottleneck might affect whether or not the 5950X is the best choice for this use-case.
Many people seem to take genuine pleasure in using the blower, maybe like the satisfaction of vacuuming a dirty carpet.

The difference is acknowledging and caring about the externalities paid by anyone in earshot. Sure, do your noisy cathartic thing occasionally when you really need it, but find a better hobby to do every day of the week.
Same here. Unless it's something intentionally offensive or trollish, I don't downvote anyone. Including opinions I don't agree with.

If it's something I disagree, and worth discussing, I set aside five minutes to write a good reply instead. I think it's much more constructive.

Please don't take HN threads further into political flamewar. Admittedly the GP pointed that way, but there's a difference between pointing and going there—and there are other reasons besides outright battle why one might want to talk about partisanship in this context.

The goal of HN threads is to be curious conversation; that tends to require not burning alive. So far this thread is mostly managing to stay on the good side of the line.

You're missing the point: trading means that you have to find someone willing to do the trade with you. If no one wants to buy your Tethers then you're doomed.

Yet somehow the rest of the developed world manages to offer liberal arts degrees that don’t cost $50,000 a year. The trick is: don’t spend millions on football stadiums, don’t hire hundreds of administrators, and don’t offer student loans that are impossible to default on.

It really isn’t that complicated, especially for the single wealthiest country in the history of human civilization.
I live just uphill of a minor state highway intersection that's near several industrial sites. I hear jake brakes going down the hill end engines going up the hill. And there's hourly-ish trains on the overlooking hill, one of the industrial sites sometimes smells a little. One of my neighbors parties. Another one has dogs that bark at everything. Yet a third has all manner of 2-stroke powered toys.

I have never been more stress free because the kind of people who live here aren't the kind of people who care what I do. Sure it would be great if I lived on a bunch of acres in the country but putting up with some noise is a pretty good middle ground.
