> I myself used to be an Apple Calendar user. Eventually I had to switch to Google Calendar for work. Plenty of our users are in the same boat and Google Calendar doesn't support native functionality.

Huh? I’m using the native calendar app all the time since I got my first macbook 7 years ago. I was using google calendar before and it was seamlessly migrated. I am using multiple google accounts and also the icloud account for calendars, never had a problem. It syncs back to google and between different devices, it works with inviting other people and so on.

The only feature that google calendar UI does better is help to find a scheduled time. But I always agree for a time before creating a calendar event, so that’s not something I’d miss. Also, it generates the google meet link, which is again useless since I use zoom or whereby.
But even if I wanted that, I’d either have to use the google calendar UI or an app that replicates this feature.

What I nice about the native macos calendar app is that it does natural language parsing, for example, “Meet with X on Monday at 12” will create “Meet with X” event and set the date to the closest Monday, the time to 12:00 and duration to a default 1h. It’s basically like you’re making a note, but it becomes a calendar event.
That’s what we call a strong correction. Or even a « capitulation ». It’s pretty healthy if u ask me. Market cycles. It will happen again.

The question is when? After what BTCUSD price? We’ll probably run the bull a few more months and then crash.

And then start all again.
Maybe if China was more forth right about the efficacy of their shot then more countries would be willing to buy it. Unfortunately, there is little hope of this kind of transparency coming from the CCP if their stifling of the WHO investigation into Covid-19 origins is any indicator.

Do people know how EAC works? It’s looking inside the windows kernel loooking in the areas not well covered by patch guard to see if I trusted code is running. Providing it false data to look through in Wine defeats its purpose.
There is a third option: a fully automated, smart sensor city that isn't built by an ad company that wants identity-linked behavioral profiles above all else. It's just as technically possible as the Google-shadow-profile one.

Sadly I don't think those will be built in my lifetime.
The way I see it, we already have that world, with capitalism functioning as a filter.

I worked my ass off to reach financial independence, now I'm dedicating the rest of my life towards helping other people.

I've proven to be capable of using the system to a degree where I can do whatever I want, which allows me the freedom to help other people full time.

It's not a perfect system, but I doubt UBI will be much better. At least capitalism filters out many of the people who shouldn't be helping others.

Helping those in need isn't something everyone should be doing. Not every needy person should be helped and helping others in desperate need incurs a mental cost that's not easy to carry.
It's not a flaw in the sense that your scenario is unrealistic. But people are not going to point at Bitcoin or undertake action. You can see that in the replies of the cryptobelievers here: BTC cannot do wrong.

You can also do this without Docker. I do this as part of my build system (which is just a bash script) for a Linux distribution. Each package has a download phase, which permits network access. After that phase completes, network access is dropped.

Yes, MystK, if these are the texts you say support your thesis, then I think I might not understand what you mean by the statement that ”there are definitely people who think universal healthcare will cost nothing”.

If what you mean is that there are people who think that the costs could be less under such a system, and thus that a change would end up ”costing nothing” as contrasted with ”costs going up compared to the current system” - then yeah I agree, there are people who believe that, and I’d say they are right in doing so. I’d also say that the way you’ve chosen to express that is misleading to say the least.

I assume you don’t believe that these people think that it’s literally free, that paying workers, buying supplies, and building and maintaining facilities and so on cost literally nothing.

But if it’s neither of these two concepts that you’re referring to, then I honestly have no clue what you’re trying to say.

If you're posting "Econ 101" or "supply and demand" in response to a question about people, whether it's labor or immigration, it means you're getting the wrong result. People who do this always forget to consider both supply and demand instead of just the one that makes things look worse.

(Immigrants are a positive demand shock because they increase your customer base.)

Tesla is not allowed to do that in Europe.[1] In the US, they got away with a lot during the Trump administration. That seems to be changing.
From the NTSB statement:

"The success of these AVs depends on the driver completing a monitoring task that requires sustained attention; however, humans generally perform poorly in the role of monitor. Also, if the automated control system behaves consistently and reliably for prolonged periods, the user of that system can become complacent about its operation and may not respond appropriately when a situation requires him or her to act."

The NTSB people see this clearly because they investigate aviation accidents. Over reliance on automation is a known problem in aviation. The aviation systems are pretty good, but they are not yet good enough to be the pilot in command. Pilot training covers this in detail. Drivers are not trained that way.

On your second point. It does seem interesting that any publication or statement that can be cancelled must be rooted in a certain field where morality can be injected. String theory or astronomy, although complex, is completely abstracted from human society.

Genetics, IQ and Psychology all share parts of their work with things that are intrinsically connected to human society. IQ specifically is also designed to remove any bias to any particular group, culture, language or schooling. and even then the field does not escape the 'cancel culture' with countless articles having been written about discrimination that author of the bell curve supposedly displayed.

Speaking out against discrimination and immorality has always been a virtue but the burden of proof has disappeared and there is no apparent consequence against defaming/cancelling someone innocent. I've never been a fan of libel laws because it can be used to silence opposition but I dont see many other ways to prevent the creation of these authorities by mob rule without proof.
Was this a paid job or volunteer?
In Canada, "public consultations" tend to be far from good. They're almost always held -- or rather, were pre-COVID -- during regular business hours, with very predictable effects on demographics. The last one I attended had over 100 people; about 60% were retirees, and around 15% were college students. I was the only male between the ages of 25 and 60 -- because working-age males overwhelmingly spend their weekday afternoons at work.
A lot of these articles speak to the result of the vulnerabilities (installing web shells and the like), but I’d be curious about some results of the exploits - what are the APT actors doing with these powers once in? I have seen a couple examples in the wild recently (actually fairly mundane fraud schemes resulting from attentive surveillance, and far, far better executed than normal), but I don’t see a lot of reporting on this end of the event - like how are the APTs being leveraged against the typical victim. Most incidents of the attacks are kept private for good reason, but some anonymized stories would be of very high interest and value I think.
Too convenient now, but back when it was discovered, it would have been way more convenient if its contents fit the mainstream consensus at that time instead.
You’re missing that email can actually be quite slow for reasons. I’ve had a problem where I hadn’t logged into Twitch for a long time, and it wanted me to enter a one time code, which they mailed me.

But then again, Slack and apps like Overcast use your method.
Oh absolutely.

Aside from the stress of long hours, combined with financial risk - in addition to the conniving, backstabbing and sheer incompetence of many people you get to work with, out in startup-land - there's a huge cognitive dissonance factor. Arising from "you're doing this because you love it, because you're on a mission, because we 'chose' you (out of the pile of other hapless victims we could have chosen), etc. Oh and shitty office space, crap insurance and other benefits, etc.

Add it all up, and you get a perfect storm for PTSD.

What I don't understand is this: with tens of millions of people already vaccinated, why aren't we seeing a huge drive to collect plasma from vaccinated people with high level of antibodies? In the early days of the pandemic (about 1 year ago), I remember China sent a large amount of plasma to Italy.

Why can't the US do the same now? The US is sitting on millions of AstraZeneca vaccines (that are not even approvad by the FDA), and doesn't want to share. How about sending plasma?

The same argument also played out over the course of the 20th century around the status of photography as an art form and how it changes the relationship between the artist and their subject--Sontag's _On Photography_ is probably the best known collection of writing on the topic, but you could probably find a decent overview in any modern art history text.

Looks like we are comparing productivity of well established routines, child care, lower overall stress and uncertainty, with the pandemic induced disruption, loss of childcare and many other social services, isolation, inability to optimize working conditions and so on. Any surprises that NOT being under constant threat of death, and for parents having to juggle childcare as well, is a lot more productive?

Professional art is whatever you can sell as such.

What i find boring with western art is that it is completely dependent on the critic and the discourse statement, in text, that must accompany any "serious" work of art.

Zen and objects created under that philosophy makes no distinction between "high" and "low" art. There are multiple other approaches outside of the western paradigm.

The writer of the article is selling a monetary-driven agenda, as they are dependent on getting paid for their strong-worded texts, while refusing to address that particular elephant in the room, connecting western art and discourse. How tedious.
I work at a university, we are legally not allowed to host a lot of our data outside of our country. While I'd love to use tools like Airtable & Roam we can't. As those vendors aren't interested in hosting in a small backwater country like Australia </sarcasm> an open source alternative I can host myself is amazing.

But I'd gladly pay more to have someone else manage hosting...

Well, chrisseaton did say amortised, not worst-case. He wasn't talking about malloc, which is a C function that indeed cannot be that fast, but about a modern language implementation. Results from some trivial benchmarks are in my comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26438596 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26449902. You can reason it out from first principles, though. Picking the right arena is done at compile time, and you don't obtain locks or chase pointers on the open-coded fast path. Maybe once every 1024 allocations you have to do all that jazz, which costs you another 128 instructions, 0.125 instructions per allocation. And maybe once very 1024 times you do that, you need to call up to the OS to increase the process space at a cost of about 4096 instructions or so, 0.004 instructions per allocation.

So the allocation fast path dominates your amortized allocation performance, even though the cases you're talking about are what dominate your worst-case performance.
There are millions of people having such problems with motivation, attitude and experience lack of success, so these kind of blogs give them exactly what they want to hear. I wasted ton of time on such publications as I was under impression that if only I change my thinking then suddenly I'll get on right track.
Unfortunately it doesn't work like that. What helped me the most is realising that making mistakes is just part of a process and in order to succeed I need to be aware of them and just keep going. It's extremely hard, but it is what it is. If I stop then chance of failure is 100%.

> People also get to decide whether they want denser apartments meanwhile the city planner forces road construction upon you whether your neighborhood really needs it or not.

This isn't really right, you're confusing 60s style city planning with the modern approach. 60s style "urban renewal" built a lot of freeways everywhere without asking and destroyed many poor neighborhoods. This caused a backlash and the start of urban environmental activism (e.g. SF getting rid of the Embarcadero highway), and urban planning switched to the exact opposite approach it uses now, which is to never do anything without 5000 community meetings.

The result of this is… nothing ever happens, because the only people who show up to community meetings are retirees who don't want anything to change; nobody else has any free time. These people are less against roads than they are against houses though, because they mostly have no opinions other than hating traffic and liking free parking.

It's the same when currencies around the world stopped using the gold standard and became floating across each other.

I'd say the value of currencies is that you have to pay your taxes in one that is legal tender. In that case, the value of Eth is that you have to pay transaction fees in Eth. You decided how valuable those transactions are.

I think turn this on its head - You're not trying to evaluate the correctness of the thing, you're trying to evaluate the value add of the candidate.

So instead of you trying to judge the value of the implementation based on some undefinable "technical correctness" have a discussion about the what the candidate has done/built.

In this case - so many opportunities for great discussion around the tradeoffs of this approach:

- What sort of load does it handle?

- How portable is it?

- What does developer setup for this environment look like, and what tools might you need to introduce the team to for them to be productive?

- What might you do instead of this if we had requirement X, or challenge Y (ex: Network latency, computations/second, real time processing requirements, tooling/language constraints, etc)?

- What are the scaling costs?

- How do you put tests in place?

- Etc.

And then you expect to receive believable answers, and interesting conversation. Because at least in this case, it's pretty trivial to determine that the solution either does or does not work for at least a small subset of fizzbuzz.

It can be really insightful to step back from the expectation that an interview is always "Interviewer is more experienced than interviewee" and instead just try to get an understanding of what working/talking with that person is like.
