After the clarification, this post really hits the nail on the head. For some social archeologists out on witch hunt, too much will never be enough. I'm willing to bet that every person with a social torch and pitchfork out for her blood said something equally shitty (likely more so) when they were in high school.

So now we (the collective) have destroyed the promising career of a talented, confident, young woman of color on the premise that when she was in grade 10 or 11 she said some potentially mean things.

If she had committed an actual crime (all but the most heinous), it would have been handled and expunged when she turned 18. That's the thing about juvenile crimes, we accept that kids make mistakes that should not haunt them into adulthood. Apparently though thanks to the wonders of social media, a joke in poor taste lasts forever.

I'll also note that she lost her job for three tweets (as far as I can tell) that all seem rather benign in my opinion and she is clearly not calling for any action or violence against others. Many political leaders have said far worse about immigrants out loud as adults in public with no ramification.

One of her offending tweets (the least egregious to be sure) is "Outdone by [an] Asian #whatsnew".

I'll note that statistically nothing is new. Asian American students dramatically out perform African American students across the board. Is it really racist to lament something happening that is itself at least partially caused by systemic racism? If, as a person of color, she tweeted "Hassled by White cop #whatsnew" would that have been racist?

Well done internet, we collectively suck.
I agree that the cycles are multiple and interacting, but I do have a different outlook about the bad software.

>Bad software creates strong developers

In my opinion more so it allows a foothold for operators who should never get near development.
If you look at the success of TikTok and YouTube, video editing was never as great market for electronics suppliers as now. I don't care about it either, but that's just because I'm not an influencer.
From what I have heard the sharp edges/straight lines are what keeps costs down. It's kind of miracle they are talking a 45k price point, and this is one of the reasons they can accomplish that.
Its not that much faster but Tesla claimed it removes 100s of robots and an incredibly long error prone assembly line. Also, when you weld lots of parts together you have tolerances stack up.

Tesla developed its own aluminum that does not need to be heat-treated. It might still need some finishing, but not a very complex process.

Check out this video of Musk and Sandy Munro (former Chief Engineer at Ford) talking about it:

Another cool part is that those old boards could get extended so that we can more easily sniff the buses or pause and visualize main memory, etc. So that we may better lift these artifacts into a purely symbolic space.
Nice project. Tip: for high quality CRT photos make shutter time is equal to a multiple of the refresh period. 1/60th, 1/30th, 1/20th and so on.
Yeah that makes sense. Do you know how contractors in the US offer financing now? When I had my furnace and AC unit replaced I was offered financing options. I didn’t dig too deep as I didn’t need it, but it seems like there are options for certain sized projects. How are you more friendly to the contractor in situations where they already provided financing?
I think any claimed 'full self driving' car should be required to pass a driving test like regular drivers do. It's pretty clear to me that Tesla will not pass that. So question closed, it should not be on the road.
People always pick these strategy games to use AI on. I would love to see someone do more of a first person shooter, or a Mordau type game. I'm sure it would crush real players but would be interesting to see two AI's compete.
> The argument rests on the fact that it can't be solely discrete across the entire system. The discrete information needs to "come-together" in a non-discrete way, e.g. something like quantum coherence.

That's just conjecture though. There's no real evidence that a system of discrete components can't work together to create a single unified system. Stating that they can't with no evidence is an a priori conclusion.
Discord is unusable at times too. But compared to other Electron shits, Discord is above average when it comes to performance. But in the end, when compared to Native apps, performance wise, Discord is still shit. It's nowhere near Telegram.

a few thousand years is not that long; humans have been in africa for millions of years and australia for at least 45k. interestingly the dingo looks very similar to many other breeds of feral dogs across the world, from the carolina dog on the american atlantic coast to the jungle-dwelling new guinea singing dog. its form is something like the primordial state of c. familiaris, with probable climactic adaptations.

Blocking particles does not look like a solution unless you know what is causing a given disease. Medieval practitioners might have had some sort of intuition that this might be effective, but it was at most one idea among many mostly false ones, it dd not have any empirical support, and it did not translate into effective prophylaxis.

Like I said, you are proposing alternative science-based policies, which does not support the thesis of the article.

Agreed, now is there going to be any accountability for why this hasn't been the case for decades, or are we never going to analyze why we're here to begin with? IMHO there is a meta-problem here, that year after year the attempts to solve the problem fail but it seems the population at large don't care about how many "attempts" it takes, there is a lack of looking at not just the root cause but at solution attempts which then leads to failure to learn anything about the problem and failure to solve it for decades, because nobody wants to ask why have we failed so much already.

You don't need to downgrade dependencies, libs are at 8 and 11 right now and support up to 16 (e.g. jackson is I think at Java 7, and supports records from Java 16).

What kind of problem could you identify? Same might happen with LTS release (e.g. I had it in JDK 8, suddenly I wasn't able to use some crypto libs).

Fixes always go first to JDK latest, and then are backported to 11 and 8.

>I think the only solution is to stop expecting every computer to be general-purpose

Why? Computers are general purpose. The software we put on computers may have specific purposes, but computers are general purpose.

As for 'computer powered appliances' plenty of those exist and the general trend does seem to be to abstract the computer away inside some kind of locked down appliance.

I hope general purpose computers never go away. They're one of the most powerful and amazing tools ever created by humans. It's really too bad more people don't seem to understand or appreciate that.

I’ve always disliked the tendency to describe this otherwise amusing anecdote as a ‘strike’ or ‘mutiny.’ By definition, the captain of a ship—-or commander of a mission—-can’t ‘mutiny.’ They may be held responsible for their actions, court martialed, grounded, etc. but decisions made by the commander during the mission, whatever they are^1, are legitimate. That the mission commander aboard the ship would function as a military commander was established very early in NASA’s history—-going back to Mercury, where the commander was also the crew. Carr decided or agreed that his crew needed a break, and he had been very carefully selected to be the person who had the authority to make that decision. (^1 There is a modern exception to this rule in the case of illegal orders and war crimes, but that somewhat fraught question doesn’t apply here.)

I guess it depends on how you look at it. In your first case, I think "enjoy" may be a better word. I enjoy playing The Sims in my underwear, but I want to use, say, Wireshark. Do I enjoy using Wireshark? Yes, because I'm a freak. Still, I think most people would say no. In my field, Wireshark isn't a tool you bust out when everything is working perfectly. Does that mean I don't want it? That I don't like it? That I wouldn't be more than willing to pay for it, were it a commercial product? Of course not! It's more nuanced than that.

How has being way too empathetic affected your life?
Then it should be said "I don't want Chrome pushing notifications on anyone's phone, ever".

If you want it for yourself, you can make it happen. If you change a setting that disables ALL notifications for Chrome in your Android phone, your condition is satisfied. Chrome is not able to send notifications, unless the developers find a workaround :)

I want selected websites to be pushing notifications to me through Firefox. For example ebay-kleinanzeigen. Why should I install an app for that purpose?
Is that even true? I seriously can't relate. What is the point of "being heard"? And I don't think people would usually ask directly "can you suggest what I should do about this", they would consider it too demanding and perhaps they don't even know who could help them.

I think the fact that it has short-term but not long-term temporal coherence is part of what gives it that surreal quality. A range of any five frames looks like a plausible view shift, but over longer timeframes, it looks like details are appearing out of the horizon. Still really cool though.
> In January 2020, when the first cases of what would later be dubbed Covid-19 were discovered on American soil, state and city governments were charged with managing the crisis before it was too late. But at precisely the time for acting, when the virus was here but had not yet spread widely, nearly every political institution in America that bore responsibility — including various bureaus of public health — claimed that there wasn’t enough evidence to do anything. And when it was clear that they had waited too long, they denied responsibility and placed the blame elsewhere.

This article manages to blame any and every politician from the other party, while somehow not once mentioning the single politician most responsible for ignoring the crisis, the one that set the tone for the entire country and downplayed the risk of the virus even months after it was obvious.

The author wants to write an article about how impactful the virus was, how terrible the politicians were and yet tries to find a way to do so, and won't acknowledge the source of the problem?

How in the world is this even upvoted on HN? It's pure partisan drivel.

Unfortunately I think I'm coming to an understanding of the state of current politics. At this point, it seems clear one party is in consistent denial denial of reality and absolution of any and all responsibility of their party. No the other party isn't innocent, but the disparity is shocking.

It began with denying where a president was born, then continued into belief of QAnon conspiracy, denial of covid, and now denial of any responsibility for that denial, next denial of vote results. It's legitimately concerning.

The current media landscape plays a large part in this - creating these reality distortion fields and allowing people to remain in them for everything. 20 years ago I could disagree with people on what's most important, what's best to do, prioritization, but we agreed on basic facts. But now any inconvenient fact is just summarily dismissed as false and ignored. This is not sustainable.

But there are too many people in positions of power who would lose it if that happened, and too many people that would have to face uncomfortable truths that they were duped. Two things that psychologically and from human nature rarely happen.

30% of the party believes in the core of QAnon. How do you even have a functioning country with that?

Please don't take HN threads into nationalistic battle on top of ideological battle. We don't want either of those here, and the two together are toxic.

What we want is curious conversation. It's certainly possible to have that on these topics, low-probability though that may be on the internet. Actually the OP is a nice basis for curious conversation—thoughtful, open-minded, interesting, and easy to read. (Though the Althusser bit seems gratuitous.) It's noteworthy for considering Derrida without either subscribing to or denouncing him. That's unusual, and very much in the spirit of curiosity. As long as we're talking about this, we should follow that example.

I'm genuinely interested in how this works in practice. Also how do authors obtain a PDF of their published work other than from the publisher?

Would be great to hear from Dutch researchers (particularly those publishing in Elsevier journals...) on how well this procedure is working.
What if I don't think the person is "exhausted by that", but displays some other psychological issue, like blaming other people for their problems? Wouldn't that also be emphatic?

I give that example because it is common for people to bond via complaining about stuff (like their bosses), which I think is a bad habit that leads to negative outcomes.

And why are the people who just want to hear "I'm sorry" in the right, and not the people who want to find solutions? Why do the people who don't want solutions get to make the rules?
I would say this is one of the great myths of globalization and that we should offers consumers plenty of competitive offers from the EU primarily.

> if you are part of a chat, any participant can send you the history of the chat.

Re-sending parts of the chat kind of removes the guarantees of the secret chat (just like backups defeat the purpose of e2e). These apps have also expiring and non-screenshotable messages, you don't want to resend that.

Ideally, all messages sent should be only decryptable by given set of keys (i.e. one key for each device used by each party of the chat; or, depending on the size of the message, ephemeral key used for message encryption, decryptable by each device that is supposed to receive it). Now the key distribution is the non-solved part.

I am not a historian, but I grew up in the western part of a split Germany. Everyone did consider Germany a split nation. All of the older people living had lived in the pre-War Germany which was unified. That meant that many families were spread across both halves of Germany before the war and consequently separated due to the split. In several cases (not only Berlin) the border whould run across cities.

If most people considered Germany a split country, how can a reunification not be inevitable? The fact that the border had to be guarded against the East German citizens from leaving is another idicator. Finally, after the border opened, Eastern Germany was on the brink of civil collapse, as a lot of people would just leave for the West, due to the economic imbalance and probably not so much trust to keep their freedom in the future. Reunification was the one way to stop this.
Our companies would start so suck because manufacturers would have less of an incentive to compete globally and instead start selling locally. This is why US cars went to shit after the protectionism of the 80s and it took pretty much two decades to recover.

The reason why Italian and German small businesses are so innovative is because the global market is hyper-competitive.
>Being a child aged 5 to 17 is 99.9 percent protective against the risk of death and 98 percent protective against hospitalization. For children 0 to 4, these numbers are 99.9 percent (death) and 96 percent (hospitalization).

I am genuinely curious what the raw numbers are behind this. Mainly to eliminate a data bias for rare events. I would assume parents of newborns and toddlers to be over cautious and hence might indicate a low exposure to people in general causing lower numbers showing up here.
Ah OK. I guess that makes sense (especially as Knuth implemented its interpreter in C, as documented in MMIXware).

People are different. I knew a couple newbie ballroom dancers who picked it up incredibly fast. But they were one in a few hundred. Ballroom dancing looks natural, but it isn't. Every move works against natural body movement. It takes a while.

For example, when walking, one sets the foot down heel first. With ballroom dancing, it's ball first.
