Donations as a revenue stream is unpredictable, and they're right to not like it.

But from the reader side, how many subscriptions can you have? It may feel good now because there are only a few options and any one person only likes a small percentage of those few options enough to give them money. But what happens when every site you click on on HN asks for a subscription? Will you pay for all of them?
So much this.

I find it infuriating how after every mass shooting in the US, the US media (at least the few US papers I tend to follow/read) scramble to get out info about the shooter, with pictures, names and background-stories. Why give such a person a platform? I do realize that it generates clicks and people love to soak up that kind of stuff, but it feels terribly wrong on so many levels.
I've found that a lot of hiring is explicitly biased against skill. The root cause is mostly the hirer wanting "people like me". Or, at least, not discriminating against "people like me".

I'm sure a lot of people who hire developers think of themselves as people who could write open source but don't have the time.

This also accounts for why stuff like leetcode persists (the hirers were successfully selected by that process), why top colleges are often preferred and even why the profession is predominantly white/male.
I am not fan of sheng, honestly. So, I only drink truly aged stuff. It happens not so often, because it is pricey, but I don't want to pay :)

VCs Showing Interest in AI and ML. What's Cooking?
AI is such a hot take in the venture capital world that a mere mention in a relatively conventional product is enough to attract multiple funding rounds. Startups, too, have started capitalizing on the trend. They have started playing tricks of all types to remain afloat in the machine learning and artificial intelligence world by using the prevalent for raising unimaginable amounts of money.
> If you’re going to a festival, and theres a roadpony thing going on to have you play a venue that is local, of course you would just go do that as well.

Assuming the festival contract doesn't specify exclusivity in the weeks surrounding (something that's actually quite common in my experience).
Thanks for mentioning QA, that was not on my radar.

The depression is currently not a problem. It's main reason, the skin problem, is fortunately gone.
I can not verify your claim since I don't play Kingdom Hearts. That's exactly my point; if the issue is very trivial then over-iterate on it seems a bit sensationalist. Official censoring some posts and 'chinese-cut' version of some imported art/entertainment are very much loathed and aware in China, 'banning' a whole commercial theme is a very different story.

"(assuming you can Google from your country)"
I think it's a bit unnecessary to assume that given that HN is largely targeting tech space and people will have very diverse reasons of not using Google? Assuming we're discussing this out of good faith one should realise if one can only read english sources it might be a little biased IMHO.

That's not how constitutional law works, though. Even if someone seizes power by force, the apparent constitutionality of their reign or lack thereof has many implications in international law and for the recognition of the new government, as well as for retrospective assessments, including the validity of the laws enacted by the regime. Dictators put great efforts in making their reign at least look constitutional.

Indeed, globalization amplifies issues with transportation, but local source can only be more fragile with less fault tolerance. Issues like this are kind like network clogging in data centers, but one can hardly argue standalone applications are better because of that. A distributed system is definitely going to have more problem than a singular server, yet that does not mean standalone computers are better.

Would be very strange that in the vast group of Linux users you can make a claim that "most of them want X". Seeing the amount of fragmentation happening out there, a lot of them have different priorities.
An interesting take on this is that essentially we are seeing the results of strong unionisation in the taxi industry leading to cross polenation of protections in related industries (or at least investor fear that it may happen).

It's kind of a ratchet, possibly still underappreciated. If WFH was to become the norm, the rational thing for a person in your situation to do would be to find that 2-3br place in a location where it costs 1-1.5x your current rent. There's no point in living in cramped, overpriced apartment in the city, that was bought on the assumption that everyone living in it will be out at work/school for most of the day, when there's no work to go to! And once enough skilled workers move away, it might be tougher for the companies to bring them all back, reinforcing the pressure for WFH.
Yeah, but it's still a DSL and that means that I can't be sure that everything I can normally do in JS is valid there, and external tooling won't be able to make sense of it without additional work.
Yeah I get it, we'll do that about anything. And so I draw myself up my full height, hold up a hand, pause, then say "are you seriously trying to start an argument about python formatting? Seriously? Have you considered accounting as a career move?" And if you do it right it's not taken as malicious, gets a laugh and e move on to something else.
I agree with the thrust of your comment in general. I thought that Trump’s China travel ban was a choice of common sense and the Democrats labeling it as xenophobic was counterproductive.

While it certainly was xenophobic in Trump’s hands, it was practically a decision that made him happy as a China hater, the motivation of the decision is independent of its utility.

Trump certainly made a mess of it after that.

All of the politicians got fooled by the relative stability and rareness of the pandemic. Most of the time telling people not to panic it won’t be as bad as you fear works OK as a strategy in a country like the US.
> "most SSDs only last for about 100-200TB of write"

My 3.5-year old MacBook Pro has 119 TB of writes, and still claims 79% "available spare":

Available Spare: 79%
Available Spare Threshold: 2%
Percentage Used: 15%
Data Units Read: 256,111,725 [131 TB]
Data Units Written: 232,470,299 [119 TB]

Host Write Commands: 1,547,764,735

That said, my 1-month old M1 MacBook Air is already up to 7 TB writes, so seems to be writing at a significantly higher rate. Both are 8GB machines.
Of the few people I've worked with IRL that proclaim they don't shower and insist they don't need to, all of them have an unpleasant odor to others. I also remember this one guy that does shower but only with water and never any soap and he always had a metallic or copper residual smell (maybe from sweat?) that was very off putting.

The issue many don't account for is olfactory fatigue:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olfactory_fatigue

It's similar to people with bad breath not being aware that others can smell their bad breath.

Maybe there are some folks with a natural body chemistry that can rinse with just water but I've never met a real example of this.

One of the most unethical companies that I know. Pushes restaurants to the brink of bankruptcy and pays their riders close to nothing. Abusive human rights in third world countries (much worse than how they treat riders in UK and other markets)

Tried to manipulate pricing & food choices with various algorithms (hiding restaurants, making them pay for screen estate)

Trying to run ghost kitchens and further capture market share / margin with poor quality ingredients and misleading advertising (nice photos make it look like a restaurant but it’s some sweat shop instead, likely with unhygienic conditions and slave labor)

With the pandemic receeding, I LOVE walking in fresh air and eating fresh food at a restaurant

On a general note, the world is so beautiful and needs to be enjoyed in person. All these apps are a cheap and manipulative substitution that really reduce quality of life for many. I’m looking at you Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Deliveroo etc
> And sadly, pine is still not my daily driver. At this time, it is a toy.

It was never sold as a daily driver and this was always made abundantly clear in every Pine store page since the beginning of time. Even now they only call their latest version "beta" for a good reason.
I will try to get my Linux on DeX working first, S9 has OpenGL ES 3 and I managed to scrounge a dock and the app + linux image before it was lost...

How Samsung was thinking when they removed that project is impossible for me to grasp. They should have extended it to make linux run on the standalone S9 and they would have kicked Apple/Google in the nuts big time!
The UK occasionally makes tributes to historical figures by producing new series of bank notes with their picture.
Yes, I'd say considering Uber in the UK has been force to start paying minimum wage and giving paid holidays to its drivers I imagine they think the same is very likely for Deliveroo.

The UK does have a Creation Science Movement[0]. My partner and I unwittingly stumbled into their Genesis Expo[1] in Portsmouth the other year – we blindly walked in without noticing the building's name or any paraphernalia, just "ooh, look, fossils".

Incorporate core rights of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights into the body of the Constitution ensuring, as Article 30, that any attempt to weaken or remove any of these rights automatically invalidates the entire Constitution. This makes it too legislatively burdensome to weaken and would unequivocally signal a coup is taking place.
There's a big difference between not using soap and not washing at all. Also there are two separate concerns here: sebum (grease), and the microbiome. Many people have successfully stopped using shampoo to slow down sebum production in the scalp. Although it's probably most pronounced there, I can imagine something similar goes for the skin elsewhere. Probably the microbiome interacts with sebum in some way but they do seem like quite distinct issues.
I suspect the potential legal issues might be the real reason.

The former and the latter can be made equivalent if unethical things can be made retrospectively illegal.

It's bad for business to do so, but it's happening more and more frequently that things like not giving your workers sufficient breaks/pension contributions/healthcare/etc can after-the-fact be corrected leaving a big liability for that kind of behaviour.

Obviously any country that gets a reputation for changing laws after-the-fact will soon lose all outside investment... So it isn't a clear win.

> The contract most likely stipulates a certain # of doses delivered by a certain date. If that is broken

Yes, it was - that's exactly the case.

> they can be sued by the EU (or individual govt) for damages.

They cannot: the EU bureaucrats were too "naive"(1) to allow the inclusion of a clause stating that everything is done in a "best effort" basis. That's exactly what AZ is shielding themselves with, to justify their failure to deliver.
(however, Belgium law - which covers the EU contracts - does allow for the offended party to procure replacements and bill those costs on the offender)

> But nationalizing their production is surely beyond what was stipulated in the contract if delivery dates aren't met. (...) Nationalizing the company or specific patents is not (and should not) be one of those damages.

That's the point, it is not beyond legality at all:

The Doha Declaration exists _exactly for cases like this_.

For Pete's sake, _there were no Olympic Games in 2020_, isn't this a significant Historical event, constituting Force Majeure?

The Doha Declaration was lawfully signed, and is in force.
...unless, of course, there is some secret contract somewhere blocking it.

>> Or are you suggesting that, sometimes, the Law is not supposed to be followed?

>No. That is not what I am advocating. If the company breaks the contract, just like _any_ other contract, there are procedures in place to pay for damages.

Yes indeed, and the Doha Declaration would solve that

In fact, in a normal, rule-of-law and Democratic country, a blunder like this would be grounds for the stakeholders to sue for ruinous management.
But recently, specially with the 2008 Crisis Austerity, and now with Vaccine-Supply-Gate, the EU appears to be some sort of Bermuda Triangle where Democracy and rule-of-law sometimes seem not to apply.
And, dangerously, where people just shrug their shoulders to gross injustice - even against its own Citizens.

New age health and fitness people are allergic to non-organic materials, gluten, and science. They'll believe anything if it makes them feel special and trendy.
In this case, to an extent, they are. Deliveroo won one court case arguing its delivery drivers were contractors rather than employees being paid less than minimum wage, but after Uber lost in a higher court, the future of its business model depends on whether the ability to reject orders is perceived as sufficient freedom to negotiate independent contractor rates.
Let's not pretend that Anbox is some kind of magical drop in solution. I tried it many times and it's completely hit-and-miss at this stage, and development is very slow.

Yeah, I was well aware what the implication was :) I was just stirring the pot really...

It's always interesting to read the general sentiment towards Mensa members — implying they join out of "loneliness" or "depression" is a hilariously unfounded assumption. I agree that Mensa is fairly pointless overall, but in my experience, its members are generally pretty representative of the general population.
It would be nice if it was easier to have a setup which is fast for development but realistically slow for testing.

I develop my personal website on a 6-year-old Windows laptop which was only $750 at the time. It definitely keeps me from making a slow website!

There is a literature on hunter-gatherers who wash infrequently but do not smell. The phenomenon exists.

Lowered expectations led to lowered stress, people did their best without fear of negative consequences for decline in productivity - and, as it turned out after management reviewed the issue few months later, productivity did not suffer.

RMS is such a genius dude who can match an entire Symbolics programming team that had genius and legendary hackers. His math skills are superior even among the elite math students at MIT(source at end [1]). RMS wrote the first version of gcc and many other utilties and *yet* despite all of his talents and genius gifts he started FSF and choose to remain poor because of his strong belief in freedom. This is immensely inspiring.

Its very rare to see a genius and who scarifies their life for a cause in a single person. The people i can think in this category are Noam Chomsky, Aaron Swartz.

How can any other person being the face of FSF a better fit?

I’m on board with expunging the convictions as well.

The arrest is a fact that’s harder to change. Federal security clearance asks about any arrests; it’s still illegal federally; I don’t think lying will work well (lying on a security clearance question is worse than the underlying facts), but that’s a bit of a corner case and no reason not to do the 99% effective action you propose.
Way I remember it, mathematics has accepted contributions from any walks of life over its history. “Mathematics is so beautiful to transcend whole societies and be for the ages.” Or something. More practically, mathematics is just so hard that people who are willing to spend significant time with it are rare. People who find significant mathematical ideas are very much more rare. For these reasons, it’s a practical thing to accept mathematical contributions from anyone regardless of their other proclivities.

Writing good software is hard. I’d recon it’s similar to mathematics in difficulty often. It’s worth it to consider someone can both be awful in other factors of their life but still make meaningful contributions to society through things like math or software. It helps that he’s always willing to show you his code for audit purposes.

Unless the UK has undergone a revolution in the past 80 years, I'm afraid to say that it is still the same government. The people involved are different, but just like in a company, it doesn't matter if the C-suite changes over the years - its still the same organization.

Like a corporation, that government definitely feels bound by the obligations made by its predecessors, and, likewise, feels entitled to receive any obligations owed to it.

To argue otherwise would be to argue that debts, treaties, as well as all prior legislative and executive decisions all disappear every time you hold an election.
