I see where you're coming from with this, but this is getting into the realm of social economics and thus politics.

To solve the problem you're describing we need to be better at protecting all members of society not in (high paying) jobs, such as universal basic income and, I don't know, actually caring about one another.

But I do see your point, and it's an interesting one to raise.
Not to mention the $10,000 bug bounty...
But you can always dry your iPhone in the microwave?! Or could you charge it that way, I'm not sure anymore...
Yes. It's really a life-changing experience. One that I think everybody should have once in their life.
I'm always amazed by the almost perfectly matching descriptions of such experiences from people living in different parts of the world. There really is something objective and true to what you described.
I must say, having taken them multiple times in my life, and my mind being prone to surgically analyze every experience my brain has, I was able to "deconstruct" the experience quite a bit. I can tell you that I never had the god-like one-with-everything experience I had the very first time. I think there is a big factor of novelty to the experience that plays a big role (this is true for most things in life, I would say. When you experience something deeply new, you are naturally excited in addition to what the experience itself has to offer to you.). Another thing I noticed was that I realized I always was feeling physical pleasure during the "highs". Like a constant orgasm sensation that I could feel with all my body. And that is something I think a lot of people experience but don't actually realize, unless they force them to shift their focus from their spiritual breakthroughs onto on what they are physically feeling. I think that plays a big role in enhancing all the various beautiful sensations, thoughts, and almost religious realizations. In such a state of physical pleasure you would judge even a dog that pisses on your leg as something devine. I think there is much less "magic" to the experience once you realize these mechanisms. But, as I said, I still think everybody should take mushrooms at least once in their life (possibly in a nice, controlled setting. You don't want to waste it.). Other times I funneled all their "magic" into creativity, spending all the time of my trip doing my form of art, writing, and I was amazed at some genial things that came out. (Your art form could be different, for example one ex of mine, which is amazing at drawing, drew very cool things when she took mushrooms). I kind of "wasted" the experience in that I did not focus on me, or on enjoying the delight and the weirdness in any way, but I was hyperfocused on my writing, on describing every small bit of sensation that I was experiencing instead of living it and enjoying it.
I won't make this post infinitely long. I'll just conclude saying that ultimately I stopped because they weren't giving me much. Like all people taking them, I agree that you get to feeling that you don't need to take them multiple times. They are a drug that basically communicates to you that you don't really need to take them ever again already the first time, given how big and life-changing the first experience is. If you do take them again, it's never on an addiction impulse, like (I guess) opioids would give you or like social media and notifications would give you.
Reminds me of logtop:

$ apt install logtop
$ printf "%s\n" the foo the foo the defenestration the | logtop
7 elements
1 4 the
2 2 foo
3 1 defenestration

It's implemented using an AVL tree (because it aimed to work on continuous streams like logs, so it's limited in size).
I've used NixOS before (I still have a server at home running it) but haven't tried GuixSD. Do you recommend it?
Email is much worse than SMS.
Dude, I'm currently living in Japan and $80k is almost double my salary, and I'm already above the national average and live pretty decently here.

Except now your system can handle the inevitable server going down without taking the entire site offline. It DOES solve the problem of a single host failure causing an outage. Yes, there are other types of outages you can have, but it certainly does reduce the occurrence of outages significantly.

Are you really trying to suggest that people can't use Kubernetes to increase their reliability?

Interesting. How is "counting SCEs" done?

A sibling comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26473638) mentions the difficulty of acquiring pre-event context for these kinds of situations. Could this sort of testing be useful here?
SMS is irredeemably broken, like all telco-designed garbage protocols. The only way you can incentivize companies to stop using it as security theater is to shift liability so any losses incurred by SMS jacking is automatically the liability of the company using SMS, just as nowadays any credit card fraud is borne by the company that is not using the EMV chip to secure a transaction.
A lot of times SMS 2FA significantly degrade security with services that allows you to "recover" access to your account via SMS.
These hackers have so much time in their hands , that they can understand this technology more than the creators and abuse them, amazing how hacker culture works.
Further, a Rockstar employee would just isolate the parser, feed json files, graph processing times and look in awe to the resulting plot.

iFixIt claims this is just psychological comfort and offers this advice:

Then I need to provide more context

"and you're not making over $150k/yr, you're almost certainly underpaid."

Those salaries don't exist in the UK, no matter your position or the company you work for. I know senior programmers working for Faang companies in London and they don't make this much. Like, in general you won't see a position offering above £100k/year. I know someone with 25+ years experience in the industry and they are on an (incredible for the UK) £90k/year.

The only way to reach the equivalent of $150k/year in the UK is to work as a contractor and be good enough to justify billing that much. As a normal employee you won't see that.

My point is - it's impossible to judge everyone in the world by the American pay standard. Would I make more money in the US? Maybe. Would my standard of living be better? Also maybe, but I lean towards no with this one. But it's almost certainly not true that by making less than $150k/year you're underpaid in a place like the UK.

Living in Germany, I don't remember the last time I used an SMS. When I was in south-east Asia I don't think I ever used SMS, it was always Line (or WeChat in China) or email. Is there a reason SMS are so much in use in the US but not in other parts of the world?

Sure on 1. But there is a jump in complexity required to do what a brain does.
I'm not sure what the actual numbers are, but complexity doesn't scale linearly when everything is connected.

We only have a single successful example of a super organism growing exponentially in its complexity. ( for now ).

That took evolution millions of years from the first eye's doing image recognition distributed over untold number of brains.

Us playing AI gods will surely speed it up, but not before something like global warming floods my floors.
And where those kind of issues require action now, the issue of AI can be postponed at any moment by a power outage.
I don't believe that. Here's why. EVERYONE is/should be worried about the cost of UBI. I'm as progressive as they come, but I worry about it too. The reason is there is no one simple answer for how it will be paid, and so until we come to a position of actual debate on the details of the implementation it's not certain how it will be funded.

The difference then is in motivations. Are you motivated to make UBI work or aren't you? Those that are believe that fundamentally, our society must be able to bear it. We know we have the total wealth generated to support it, sot he rest is an implementation detail. If you prioritize it as a key aspect of a successful human-orientated society, it is achievable.

The people that are against UBI are not psychopaths. But they ultimately do not believe in the idea and use costs and other such concerns to justify not moving towards that direction. The reasons why they don't support it can be diverse, but mostly it comes down to a lack of empathy for others. They truly feel that others do not deserve help or support, and base the rest of their beliefs around it.
I get why Signal's approach can be unpopular, but I don't understand the fascination with Telegram to be honest. Sure, the Android app is nice and fluid, but if I needed to use an app that is not e2e encrypted, I can use sms, or Facebook Messenger. Both have much wider adoption than Telegram.

On that day, most probably nothing with regards to this task.

Then, later, probably someone would check out the scripts from a shared repo. Then, read an outdated README, try it out, swear a bit, check for correctness with someone dependent on the results, and finally learn how to do the task.

There is a lot of business processes that can tolerate days or weeks of delay in case of such a tragic (and hopefully improbable) event. The trick is to know which of them can't.

> especially cultural factors that make software development harder for those who can’t pass as YOUNG white males.

FTFY.

I’m 58, and learn faster, and more comprehensively, than I ever did, when I was younger.

I think my grasp of “the big picture,” or a high established baseline, is a big reason for the fast uptake. I don’t need to be told what iterators or allocators are. After having designed hundreds of applications, drivers, tools, APIs, SDKs, libraries, and systems, I know why we do stuff. It isn’t just rote dogma.

This gives me the flexibility to adapt my view of the world to deal with new paradigms and concepts. Also —and this is important— I can “mix and match” my approach. Most of my work, these days, is a chimera. I will use classic patterns, from thirty years ago, and combine them with new “cutting edge” stuff.

That takes flexibility, curiosity, knowledge, and motivation.

Also, teaching is important to learning. Especially teaching smart people. It challenges us to really understand what we’re trying to impart, as we are guaranteed to get challenging questions. When I took martial arts, many moons ago, the “postgraduate” stuff was to become a teacher. The Sifu (you know which art) would insist that students achieving new belts, immediately start training those in earlier belts. By the time you became a blackbelt, you were ready to teach an entire class, unassisted.

BTW: I never became any good at it, but I did learn some cool approaches to stuff.
I 100% agree. I've gotten so much out of this service and wouldn't at all mind giving back.
Small villages would not have any rentals. Small villages also keep vehicles for emergency - ex. for emergency visits to hospitals at nearest town or city.
There are some important aspects of voiceism that the author does not address. There is indeed an aspect of prejudice and stereotyping, but accents and dialects intrinsically hinder communication to someone who is unfamiliar with them.

We cannot expect everyone to be familiar with every accent and dialect, so we have General American and Received Pronunciation as standard accents (and Standard English), which helps communication especially with weak English speakers and ESL speakers. So for some examples mentioned

> while we’re at it: can’t we let Steven Colbert speak in his natural South Carolina accent, or Don Lemon in the strains of his native Baton Rouge? As with bias against visible ethnic features (skin colour, the epicanthic fold typical of Asian people’s upper eyelids), exposure is all.

from another perspective, using one's native accent on TV when they are perfectly capable of speaking in a more standard accent is arguably more supremacist than "antibigoted".

There is a subtle but very important (wrt what is ethical) distinction between prejudice against one's native accent and dialect, and deciding instead to speak, or require to speak in a standard accent and dialect: the latter can be due to prejudicial pressures, but also often for mere intelligibility and comprehension, and I'm not confident that the author notices and appreciates the distinction.
Yeah, the funny thing is, that MicroOS is supposed to work with flatpak. It's installed out of the box and you just have to add the Flathub repo. (And on gnome you should remove libpackagekit-zypp to prevent gnome software to try to install updates via zypper)

With flatpak you also don't have to engage in this wierd /snap trickery.
And again, do you seriously believe that any of this has to do with engineering and not lack of business vision?
Wow, I can't imagine wanting to dance wet and naked with a dozens of strangers. My bubble feels thoroughly violated just imagining it
There are several methods of hard and soft attack which are stupidly easy where ability to temporarily capture your phone number is the only necessary authentication factor.

SMS isn’t used as an additional layer but the only necessary layer to “recover” an account.
> I can't believe this worked. Sure, you won't be deploying this in production, but we mostly survived this long with unconfined apps and having transactional updates is an improvement

The resulting system still seems very mutable to me, since it appears the system configuration management isn't tracked in a transactional manner. I would think for a "immutable Linux desktop", NixOS would be what the author was looking for, since the whole system is declaratively specified and can be rolled back to any previous generation. But some users go even further, performing a ZFS rollback on every NixOS boot[0] to ensure that mutable state doesn't accumulate (NixOS only needs /boot and /nix to boot, and creates /etc /var etc. if they don't exist already).

> Much of computing in the very near future will be built on two languages: Rust and JavaScript.

Ah, another Silicon Valley. Guru. Gook luck with that.

Good luck replacing C, Unix which are everwhere, and not a tiny niche compared to these hipster JS trends. Not even close. EVERY teleco background is tied to C and Unix for standards and data exchanging/defining protocols.

And well, even Scheme being a niche, it's having good stuff such as Guix, Artanis and a JIT.
This is a thoughtful, well-written article. A few additional comments:

The author seems to be writing for a U.S. audience, so most of his examples come from North American English. Similar problems also exist, of course, in other English-speaking places and in other languages. People in Britain, for example, are famously sensitive to class and regional differences in speech. In Japanese (I live in Japan), regional accents and dialects can vary greatly and are also sometimes associated with prejudice and discrimination.

For some languages, a national government might try to fix the pronunciation, grammar, and orthography of a “standard” language. In the 19th century in Japan, there was a partially successful government-led attempt to make a version of Tokyo Japanese standard; school textbooks and, later, the national broadcaster NHK mostly adopted that dialect. The government has also influenced how Japanese is written; the forms of many kanji that now appear in Unicode, for example, were originally decided by government fiat after World War II.

One interesting aspect of American English is that notions of what constitutes “standard” American English—including even spelling—have formed largely independent of the government. Publishers, broadcasters, educators, and a variety of complex social forces have had much greater influence.

I really don't understand how the word "wildlife" is used in this article. If it's being bred in captivity, on a farm, how is it "wildlife"? Perhaps it's a peculiar technical term or a literal translation of a Chinese expression.
EDF, the largest electricity provider in Europe does the same in France. Actually, it even manages to do a bit worse: 1FA using SMS or email, but choice is left to the potential attacker.

Just because something is possible doesn’t mean it’s easy or intuitive to use.
An effervescent multivitamin drink (Berocca or equivalent), Omega 3 and a decent dose of Vit D should cover you.

- TCL and LUA interpreters are everywhere, too.

- On JS machines, I doubt it, because if some better language it's better than JS, that could yield to huge losses to ARM CPU producers. And that will happen, sooner or later.

These people are professionaly dead if they want to create something more performant than a bullshit, slow JS application.

I think in Europe many people (including myself) do less than 69 miles per week. We rely a lot on public transport for commuting and use cars only for a few things during the week. I suspect the target market will be very large here.
I find myself having weird food cravings when this happens. I take a multivitamin every day but during the pandemic I've also been eating the same half-dozen things, over and over and over.

It's definitely missing something (that the multivitamin is insufficient in completely replacing) because sometimes I'll order delivery takeout from somewhere and feel like a new person after eating it.
If you want to know your situation, I believe that you can just go to a general doctor and ask for a blood test. I heard that's common for people with vegan diet.

I think we definitely need a new approach to dealing with drugs and addiction.

We spend a ridiculous amount on incarceration, per inmate. Federally it's above $37k per year as of 2018 [1], and states averaged over $33k in 2015 [2].

That's excluding the cost of policing the drug war, lost taxation on illicit goods, state-funded medical and wage impact of addiction, or the lost consumer impact to the economy of those incarcerated or under addiction.

Ultimately drug addiction is a health and social issue. Treating it as a criminal issue has not significantly helped the problem. We can hamper black markets through legalization and regulation while reducing significant costs across a wide array of categories.

But I don't think we should simply legalize and be done with it, as that'd be dangerous. We need to shift the money we're already ineffectually spending. Put it into research, therapy, and the infrastructure surrounding regulation. Maybe mandated counseling to the addicted, once supply is more effectively monitored and controlled.

We need to focus on positive outcomes for individuals. Incarceration generally only pushes people into a spiral of continued negative outcomes.
