Thanks! That looks good!

Thought on the second thought, I’ll continue to use the more “manual” method for now. As it gives me more control and it would be easier to switch off when touch ID sudo will be supported more officially.

A/B testing of pricing isn't new but I wonder if you ever question if this is an ethical business to be in? I know capitalism is about extracting the maximum value out of everything but do you think it's a worthwhile pursuit to make this an even easier thing for companies to do?
This particular web site states openly that they do take clicking on the "X" as acceptance of tracking.
Of course, yes, I am trying to say that what you are describing as US-style unionization is closer to how unions have historically worked. It would be your country's situation that is exceptional, because apparently workers there have won so much power, that militant/grassroots organizing is less necessary.
Why are you all talking about the "reject option", which implicitly considers the opt-in to be the default? The default MUST be the opt-out (for non-essential cookies), hence there is no "reject" because there must be the "accept".
Awesome effort! IIRC the "Twin" [1] spreadsheet played nice with goofy video and worked with my wild ass 100x43 EGA modes.

The parsing and setting of environment variables was always my #1 hassle with fish. I feel like I see a lot of BASH snippets that get copy pasted around that I always had to re-write or throw in a sub shell. Particularly annoying when you're trying to do something while screen sharing and somebody gives you a snippet which you have to re-write before using it- "Oh yeah it's a hassle but I've got sweet auto-complete" gets old
Yes you can, you can provide an add supported service with tracking and a paid one without.

> All of Malthus’ predictions have come true. They just did so in his past, not future.

This is trying to win an argument by changing the meaning of a term. “Predictions” refer to future events.

All of my stock pick “predictions” also came true. However, I did not become a billionaire, because they did so in the past.
For the benefit of others who may be reading I'll mention a couple of other programs...

There's Medicaid, the federally funded healthcare program for the poor. It is free. As a single person there are really low limits on how much assets and income you can have and qualify. Kids are more easily qualified, even if there parents may not be. Doctor choice is limited, there are lines, etc.

There's also the VA, available for veterans. I'm not sure of the rules around this. But those qualified get free care.

Throughout the country hospitals are supposed to patch up anyone who shows up with an emergency. The patient will get a bill after, but they won't be left to bleed to death. This doesn't help with slowly developing problems, though.

Beyond these free programs, (and Medicare for retired folks, talked about earlier), there's also Obamacare, which subsidizes medical coverage for those making too much to qualify for Medicaid. Someone working full time for minimum wage and making $14k per year (which is enough to rent a room and have a junk car), might end up with a subsidized plan having a $6k+ deductable (which they don't have!), someone making double that (enough for an inexpensive apartment and a used car) would pay $175 a month for the same plan. Obamacare details vary by state.

People with jobs making more than the above often have health care offered through work, and no longer qualify for Obamacare plans. At the low end these plans may not be as good as the Obamacare plans. Typically these plans might cost the employee $100-$200/month and up if there are multiple plans to choose from (the employer may be contributing 2-5x that, depending on the job), and have a deductable of several thousand dollars, with yearly exams and routine screening included for free. The problem becomes that you have to pay for everything else up to your deductable, then costs are shared up to a max limit perhaps $15k, then the plan covers all costs for all covered care. The deductable and maximum double for family plans.

One big problem with all the plans with deductables is that it is near impossible to find out what anything non-trivial will cost, which is discouraging when you have to pay some of these costs.

Government employees typically have the best plans, similar to what the average white collar worker had 20-30 years ago. Small copayments instead of large deductables. These plans were phased out by most private employers because they were too expensive, for both employers and most employees.

I noticed that too. A lot of German media started doing this ("pur" subscription vs "full" subscription which also gives access to additional paywalled articles). I would be surprised if these huge publishers didn't do their legal legwork - or they are doing it just waiting for a test lawsuit to clarify the reading of the law.
Yup, it's pretty similar to the reading list option on iOS! I think we can take that implementation further and focus more on making the user reading experience smoother on different platforms.

I don't know if you've had a chance to try out the browser extensions yet, but would love to hear your thoughts on them (it's how I primarily use it right now). It has keyboard shortcuts to let you interact with your reading queue. I think it helps make the process of reading smoother.

I tried out many of the popular shells (bash, zsh, fish, etc) many years ago when my daily driver was an older thinkpad, and some of the startup times were painfully slow for me. It definitely drove me toward the more minimal shells like ksh and rc. On newer hardware it hasn't been noticeable, but it's real.
What kind of content do you actually need to store as a student on cloud that takes substantial storage? Genuine question. I used dropbox free tier with 2 GBs throughout all of undergrad + masters + phd, and I never had problems. Lecture videos are hosted online. Data dumps from experiments sure as hell don't go on random cloud storage but appropriate networked storage.

Obviously I was not using it to dump large amounts of raw data, but normal student stuff like problem sheets, paper submissions, reading material.

The people using this as their personal backup for their movie collections are the problem - they are abusing an education service for their personal use. It's why we cant have nice things.
There really isn't a different way to work honestly. Either we rely on trust or force and that trust and force can be transferred and dissipated through a legal system but force loses its transferable value very quickly while trust can be passed on many times.
> AMD GPUs are better than Nvidia for that

Better in what sense?

> they had async compute way longer

What is that?
The accusation (I don't know if it's true, I know next to nothing about NFTs) is that person A buys and NFT for $10,000. Because NFTs are online, and likely pseudonymous, they proceed to list it for sale, and then bid on it to drive the price up to $50,000. Person A still owns it, but to the rest of the world if looks like person B bought it. They then proceed to relist, pump up the price to $100k, and buy it themselves.

To the rest of the world, it looks like the value of this NFT grew by 2 orders of magnitude in a week. In reality, that person is leveraging the pseudonymous nature to just make it appear that way, in hopes that when they list it for $200k, someone else will actually buy it. They cleared $190k for making a couple of garbage auctions.
I wanted a KIM-1 or a COSMAC Elf in the '70s, but I couldn't afford one as a kid. I eventually built a ZX81 kit from the proceeds of a summer job as my first computer.

The KIM-1 had a 6502, the Elf had an 1802, and the ZX81 had a Z80 processor, all 8 bit processors which were approachable for beginners.
I have no opinion about your broader argument (that Malthus' model is accurate with respect to his past) but the way you choose to express it simply makes no sense.

You can't use the word "prediction" if you're unwilling to make a distinction between the past and future.
And at a school or university it's easy for the admin to simply add quotas that say "If you use more than 100 gigs, we will deactivate your account".

>And in this industry, nobody is comfortable talking about it.

If you make the assumption that HN is vaguely representative of the software industry and then looking at the reception that all the comments that stop short of saying "luck is the primary factor of success" are getting it seems pretty obvious why nobody talks about it.
Well, the fact that nobody ever has to zap PRAM on an iOS device means that they’ve probably fixed that (or, since you can’t zap PRAM anymore, people just restore the device instead...)

Getting into orbit for a lander means you need a much higher transit mass to include fuel and rockets capable of slowing you down.

The Martian atmosphere isn’t thick enough for this kind of aerobraking especially if want to get there within a relatively short period during the transit window.

Yes we do send orbiters and these have to be smaller and so are their landers due to you having to slow down to get into an orbit first. The vast majority of landers do not get into orbit.
My impression of ZSH after fish is "ok this made for a really annoying couple of hours to set things up, but now I'll never have an incompatibility hassle again!"

When I was in school and working on my own stuff I liked using fringe shells like xonsh and fish, but working in teams I feel like I need a pretty significant productivity increase to justify using a different tool than everybody else.
Ask HN: LinkedIn and Firefox
I recently updated Firefox to version 86.0 and started noticing problems with LinkedIn. Sometimes it would not load at all and I have to clear cookies and select privacy settings.

I don't know if this might be a coincidence but I have set myself on a quest of backing up my LinkedIn contacts, issues started appearing after I visited a few hundreds of my contacts.

Is it only myself experiencing those issues? There was recently lots of news about new privacy features introduced by Firefox, I wonder if LinkedIn was abusing privacy and this now bubbles up with Firefox blocking it?
I just read a study showing this europe crops crisis.

And to the parent of this thread we keep seeing constant research showing IPCC is off (sometimes wayy off) in their worst case (e.g. we're there or past it in many respects).

Armagedon is the last battle. To me that's what climate crisis is and how we need to look at it and take immediate action. We battle and win or we lose and it's really really really bad.

Maybe others have better examples of worse than imagined climate problems, but here is one I read from Reddit/HN last week.

New research shows faster slowing Gulf Stream. I can't find the exact thread that summarized - it did a direct comparison to the recent article to IPCC showing IPCC's worst case is not even close to as bad as the new measured slow down.

A few sources below, one decade old one says 10x from IPCC's worst and the recent article showed even faster slowdown; like on the scale of a less than a century we could be past a tipping point. When it tipped in the past it made europe very cold and rose eastern us sea levels a lot.

From my understanding, this would affect staple crops in Europe (google says europe 300 tonnes, us at 440), help melt a LOT more ice & sea level rise etc.

I think that the faster than expected melting ice in greenland we're seeing also increases the slowdown?

"totally unexpected decline in the AMOC of about 30% - far greater than the range of interannual variability found in the climate models used for the IPCC assessments" "10 times as fast as predicted by climatemodels."

> Damn that google and their 17 year plan to eventually charge us for storage.

This is how monopolies are established. Corporate conglomerates able to sell a product at a loss until competition is starved out, relying on profits from other parts of the business. Once completion is gone, they exploit the monopoly.

In other words, the fact that they waited 17 years doesn't diminish the OPs point.
> What I disagree with is doomsday scenarios where they'll be the end of human civilization.

The problem I have with this argument is that "the end of human civilization" is such a high bar that it's practically a tautology that it won't be met.

WW2 didn't end the human civilization - it didn't even make a dent. In fact, if the Axis had won the war, conquered the rest of the world, and massacred everybody between Moscow and Shanghai, the human civilization still wouldn't have ended.

So any talk about whether the civilization will end or not, ultimately doesn't mean much.
> You didn't cite bidi as your reason for choosing WS in your last comment, you cited scaling and node vs ruby.

Because I was answering this question: "What's wrong with normal HTTP requests for client->server streams?"

> You can have bidi without WS.

Only by combining HTTP (which doesn't scale because my api server runs rails) and SSE (which does scale). If I want scaling bidirectional communication, I need websockets.

> Because WS is more complicated.

More complicated than SSE? I don't think so.

Almost everyone uses analytics. If PII like IP goes to an analytics site, how- in any way- would the site owner using those third party analytics tools be responsible for cleaning up all traces of that IP?

You’re talking logs and DBs in every location from its entry into the site from the cloud hosting provider to everything that the site touches and touches on the way, and so on.

Prositutes don't deserve bad things to happen to them.

Companies that screw over employees do though.

A better example would be tipping your hat to an assaulter, who mugs people. I would not respect someone who attacks others with physical violence.

> Nope. I said line it out.

And then they refuse to hire you, and hire someone else. That makes it pretty likely that they would get away with it, and screw over a different employee.

> Behaving unethically makes you just as bad.

Lets say you live in a medieval village, where there is a racist law that makes it legal for people to steal from or assault others, if they are of a certain race.

So if you see a thief, currently mugging or attacking someone, then you would be just as bad as the thief if you engaged in self defense to stop them then? Because violence is bad?

You would not only refuse to defend someone else from the thief, you would tip your hat to the assaulter! No. I a not going to respect the attacker.

Yeah no. Defending others against a thief is a good thing, not a bad thing, even if we live in some world where the attacker is not engaging in any illegal actions.

Why Are Bluebirds Blue?
There are so many catastrophes that have been thrust upon people by the media that never borne out their outcomes. A few of note:

-In the mid 80's every newspaper in California was warning of killer bees[1] that were going to invade the state and kill many people, alot of my family members were quite nervous about them and the media made a point about its not a matter of if but when these bees arrive in the state, the coverage was blanket until about the 90's when it died down.

- Y2k meltdown - This was also hyped beyond belief by the media and doomsday scenarios were drummed up to an extraordinary frenzy until really nothing bad happened after the new years[2], I remember being at a new years party in menlo park and people were saying that the lights may go out due to the bug.

- In the years 2017/2018 the media was drumming up automation of all jobs by AI/robots/self driving cars, people were extremely worried that the most wouldn't have a job in a few years, but in 2019 unemployment hit a 50 year low[3], I'm not saying this won't come to pass, just the media's timeline was totally wrong.

The stuff thats been really bad, 9/11, financial crisis of 2008, covid-19 has all come on very suddenly and most people were caught totally off guard.

The things people should really worry about are:

Lack of water (aquifers that took tens of thousands of years to be filled are close to be drained in many parts of the midwest and west[4] of the US.

A large solar storm similar to the Carrington event[5] knocking out all of the electrical grid(and electronics) of a large portion of the planet.

A supervolcano/or caldera erupting and cooling the earths climate down dramatically, think crops dying and extreme famine.

> why in the world so many people feel so compelled to belittle the accomplishment of OP climbing out and then encouraging others to at least hope for the same?

It is very sad if you ask me. Some people hold the worldview that becoming poor and staying poor are things entirely outside of one's own control. Success stories threaten that worldview, so people admonish those who "made it" and remind them that they are nothing but lucky.
