Meth and crack also have an odor after smoking them and dogs already can alert on them even when they aren't smoked. It's already a commonplace lie and there's no repercussions when a search turns up empty so why wouldn't they just keep lying? Or even easier, just claim they smelled alcohol.

Police will continue with warrantless search and seizure until they actually face repercussions for misconduct.
Another Sorbus species is the Wild Service Tree, or Sorbus torminalis. The trees grow in England. The fruit is the chequerberry, which also needs bletting before it's edible. The flavour's similar to tamarind.

Gefilte Fish: Gmail filter creation
Well said. Reading Banks was the first time as an adult that I had hope for the future. The resulting exhilaration literally kept me up for a couple days. Later the same year he passed and it brought home to me the gratitude I have to him for expanding my conception of what a good future (in the context of humans and super-intelligence co-existing) could be.
I made a successful complaint to my HR department when someone used that very phrase. I very much agreed with the part of the person's intent to support and embolden the woman. But it's not OK to attack other people in the effort to support someone. Why not say something positive like "other people can do it, so can you"?
Yeah, it's a fascinating article but thin on technical details, which makes it frustrating.
Electoral Savings Accounts: One Person, One Vote (but you can save it for later)
Nowadays it is much clearer that media is pushing the goals of some interest groups. It is obvious in the case of Fox News, but similarly for more traditional newspapers and TVs. They're pushing the agenda of big business and wealthy individuals, with secondary views on popular topics that don't threaten big interests.

Another important issue that you'll figure out in mainstream media is that they're always pushing the idea of us against other countries. They're promoting the underlying notion that we should always be at war (or close to that) with countries that are not aligned with the current interests of the elites. There is always some "enemy" that is a threat to "civilization" and that we desperately need to contain or destroy. Not only this benefits the big interest groups, but this also creates a fictional narrative of reality that keeps viewers interested in learning about the latest developments of this "holy crusade for civilization".
What other side? This whole othering of people is just regressive tribalism.
Historically presenting the truth honestly and without bias was a great way to lose your head.

Diversity is a competitive advantage.
Slight tangent, but Calibre has a feature that lets you download articles from various sites (including news sites) and producing ebooks out of each (daily). When I first bought an ebook reader, this became my primary way of consuming news. I'd connect my ereader to the PC, and download the news. One ebook per newspaper.

It was so much better than reading on the PC. And it looked a lot like a traditional newspaper. No banner ads and pointless links. Just the story with relevant photos in B/W.

Then I stopped reading news. Still have fond memories of reading the news on eInk, though.
It's contextually a lot different though. In this case, it's not that he didn't have an answer or a means to clarify, it's that, based on her initial reaction, he didn't have one he wasn't sure would dig a deeper hole.

I doubt anyone out there will have a similar visceral reaction to discussing code architecture.
Consumers are cashflow (payment) driven.

Assuming a $1500 / month payment at 1999 interest rates (8%) gets you 200K in principal. Assuming a 4% (even though it more like 3%) gets you 315K today in principal. Same payment, but instead of paying interest to the bank, you pay more into equity.

As an aside, inflation rates were quite similar in 1999 as they are today. So I think the interest rates are a fair comparison (i.e. Fisher hypothesis).

Rising interest rates might have a similar effect in the housing market as with the bond market (bonds issued at lower interest rates trade at a discount), but my suspicion is that house prices are more "sticky" than bonds.
A fiat currency is any currency that isn't backed by a commodity, i.e. it's not redeemable for a certain quantity of the commodity by the issuer, and bitcoin falls squarely into this category.

>> Ultimately I think it’s on men to learn how to handle giving candid advice in a non-sexist manner.

And how would that be in this case?
I was talking about a specific couple, with children, where the man identifies as non-binary, and the woman is heterosexual. Apart from his insistence of being addressed as they/them, he's behaviorally indistinguishable from an heterosexual man.

To be fair, I understand that non-binary means they don't perceive themselves as exclusively male or female, but I doubt most people do. Sexuality, like most things, is not black and white, but a gradient of greys, so most people would be non-binary, hence the pronoun they/them isn't worth remarking.
Please don't take HN threads into gender flamewar hell. This sort of generic tangent is exactly what the site guidelines ask you not to post here. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules, we'd be grateful.

We ban accounts that do that, regardless of what ideology they're battling for or against, because it's destructive of what this site is supposed to be for. Curious conversation and ideological battle can't coexist any more than frisbee in a park can coexist with tank warfare. We're trying to optimize for curiosity here.

Your definition of value would allow saying that "cheating on exams provides value". Which is absurd.

Cheating on exams only provides value for the chater, but everybody else has to pay some price for it.

That's true, but just because I didn't experience it doesn't mean imaginary enemies isn't a well-worn tactic used in society.

The Jews were demonized by Christians in the ye-old days based on imaginary qualities that simply weren't true.

So were the Land-lords.

So were the "witches" and the "heretics".
Not all misinformation is the same, there's a difference between science got it wrong and society eventually corrected it self and being wrong on purpose or misleading to pander to an audience.

For candor, reduce the risk of blow back by giving the advice in person or over the phone. California law is very strict in recording conversations.

Yes, a guy could screw it up and say something potentially sexist or just dumb — but for success what someone is doing wrong needs to be expressed.
By running the code. Let's say the code is bad. The software will let you know if there's a logical error. The software will be hard to maintain when you want to update it, The software will be hard to use when users try it. There's no feedback like the one the software gives. The proof is in the pudding. If you're new to software and a junior developer, then outside feedback is much needed, but once you're experienced. The most useful feedback is going to be the one the software gives you.

Someone else mentioned a way to push images directly to the display but I didn't find an API to make this work. Also using HTML allows my to inject other dynamic content, not just PDF's such as a dashboard, weather, widgets, etc. It also makes it easier to display error messages if the newspaper server is down without needing to render images for errors.

I don't care what you use your electricity for - mining bitcoins, folding proteins, running space heaters, watching porn, making aluminum

If we have learned anything from the past two decades it is that anti-bias measures lead to less competent reporting.

The reasonable complaints about bias - those can be much better addressed by a focus on competency.

Failing to expose malfeasance within a liked administration is primarily an act of ineptitude. Correcting that seems a much surer path to less biased journalism.
There is a lot of value in the "imagine what someone else would think or do" mechanic of giving people advice. There certainly are dragons in asking somebody to act like a white dude, so don't do that.

"Be bolder" is different than "what do you think a bold person would do?"

I have had many conversations with people going through a tough time and unsure of what to do or how to feel in a situation and there is this trick to getting people to think differently that almost always works... ask the question

"What would a reasonable person do in your situation?"

Suddenly the person having trouble coming up with the answer "What should I do?" has a perfect answer to "What would a reasonable person do?"

It's a psychological trick that goes after how one thinks about one's self and how one thinks about someone else being quite different. If you refocus your attention to view yourself from an external objective, you often end up with much better judgement.
Your "trick" shows whether or not the other person will consider the whole range of things you could have meant instead of assuming the most likely thing in their judgement. So it's useful. It reminds me of shit tests in dating where you trigger situations just to see their reactions to certain situations.

Regarding why you can't just say the same thing word for word, that's because shared context matters.

This is basic social skills. If you don't have the same shared background and context, then it's unclear if you mean one thing or the other.

So when one woman says "Think about what a white man would do", to another woman, there's the implication that they're talking about their shared experiences regarding society's expectations around women.

When a man says that to a woman, especially it's a white man saying that to a black woman, your contexts and backgrounds are so wildly different that surface area of what you could mean is quite large.

So when you had the chance to clarify yourself and you backpedaled, that made it look even worse because it implied that you had bad intentions and were trying to take your words back.

So yes, it's true. You can't say the same thing word for word as one person say to another if you and the other person do not share the same contexts.
I have a folder full of single color PNG files. Basically:

- find a saturation and brightness level that is pleasing to you

- now basically any hue you pick will be a pleasing color

- create a number of 5000x5000 PNG files in those colors

- use an image optimization tool (imgoptim etc.) and crush them to 1 KB files

- let your OS cycle through the folder

had to google what cis is:

> A cisgender person (sometimes cissexual, informally abbreviated cis) is one whose gender identity matches their sex assigned at birth. For example, someone who identifies as a woman and was identified as female at birth is a cisgender woman. The word cisgender is the antonym of transgender.
I wouldn't say obviously made up, but the story sure is incredible.

Ah, it works the way I wrongly assumed qemu-usermode does.
Well everyone can see how many people are running the network so if the number would drop someone who uses it would probably think twice if they should stop as well ryt?
Unless all decided to shutdown at the same time but that's kinda statistically impossible.
Also if they all turn it back on its back. Its ofc similarly absurd that this would happen but at least in theory the network could pause if no one wants to run it.

Also a very important factor is the cost to run it is cheap because there is a shared incentive to have performant software and energy efficient hardware. And the "people" who actually would want to run a node 24/7 are most likely companies who already have the hardware and the IT team to maintenance it etc. etc.
The additional cost my be a few thousand dollars per year but that's not much for such a company.

BTW networks using this tech are running since 8+ years and consistently have more Tx than bitcoin [1]
Its rather unlikely that not enough "people" could be found to keep it running.

[1] https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/transactions-btc-eth-xr...
(note that the yellow line only shows payment type Tx but there is also a DEX and other types of Tx like an offer create Tx (for trading) these are not shown since these do not exist on BTC. The total number of all Tx from all types would be way higher between 5 and 10 Millions per day.)
The nostalgic pining for the fairness doctrine that you so often see at Reddit and sometimes even here slightly reminds me of European monarchist movements that idolize the golden times of royal rule.

Both seem to ignore the fact that whatever worked in year X will not work in year X+50, because the society, technology and politics moved on.

One of the defining movements of the last hundred years was the fact that the cost of disseminating opinions and news was slowly becoming affordable for more and more corporations, small teams or even individuals. Thanks to technological progress, the voices out there multiplied, as did their audience. And people unhappy with a certain journalistic narrative found it cheaper and easier to broadcast their competing perspective.

Such a chaotic world cannot be subject to effective content guidelines such as the defunct fairness doctrine, just like the modern world of highly educated professionals cannot be ruled by hereditary nobility.

> had recently attended a diversity panel where someone in a similar role as me said that in a similar situation, and her advice to her mentee was "Think about what a white man would do" and everyone applaud such an insightful advice. So identifying such an opportunity, I said the exact same thing word for word, basically "I see you're hesitating to take credit for your work. Think about what a white man would do."

That's...horrible advice generally, though there are specific circumstances where it might be useful, and it is tragic if it was an example used in a diversity panel as anything but a negative example without a whole lot of context because it (1) appeals to race/gender stereotypes, and (2) requires, for it to even approximate actionable advice, for the mentor and mentee to share race/gender stereotypes. In fact, I've been to lots of such panels/trainings, and fairly commonly seen exactly that used as a negative example.

What would be more useful if your first instinct is to give this advice is to first unpack what behavior you are stereotyping as white/male behavior that you actually want to encourage, and then just advise that behavior without appeal to race and gender stereotypes.
I bought BTC and ETH when I thought they were a good idea. I no longer think they are useful, but I still hodl my coins because why not profit from the hype machine. The hard part is knowing when the cycle is near the top, I suspect we still have some ways to go, but that BTC will again lose 80% of it's price to USD.

The tech is not that interesting and I would never want to build with or on blockchain. If I had to, I'd probably use Hyperledger. This is from someone who tried out all of the main ones. Blockchain does not replace anything in my stack, rather it adds a highly risky component and makes me a target of higher interest to the malicious.

I won't go into the group think and egos that are pervasive in the ecosystem, other than to day they are a huge turnoff.

Perfect example of false equivalency. Setting aside the issue of how the protestors were treated differently by capital police (many of whom supported Trump), one protest was against police brutality, and the other was an attempt to overthrow the result of a free and fair democratic election on the basis of a lie.

If I believed that the election, and American democracy with it, were literally being stolen from me right in front of my face, and this was our last chance to stop it, why on earth wouldn't I resort to violence?
People don’t talk candidly most of the time now to those lower on the hierarchy. In many Corp environments, almost no one talks candidly to anyone - too many minefields.

You’d generally only talk candidly to those who were not just peers, but you already had a deep seated existing rapport with and trust. Friends?

Everyone else gets the politically safe story that is supposed to be told. I’ve seen it in action, and it makes me sad because it becomes fundamentally corrosive.

And if you think for some people that doesn’t include the right kind of outrage discussion or telling the right stories to the visible oppressed minority they’re mentoring so they can get the right checkbox when they hopefully get considered for SVP (or as plan B, their mentee does) - I’ve also got a bridge to sell you.
It’s a shame there aren’t too many cross language tools. You build your clever new tool for Java and python devs get it for free. As I understand it, language servers are an attempt to do some of that. I wonder what extent that line of thinking applies to more sophisticated things like OP is talking about. Or are the commonalities between languages only limited to surface level magic?
"May you live in interesting times"
> Buffett is merely quiet about his meddling, whenever possible

That's what I'm talking about though, and abortions is a single issue, not a "society should be run this way" ideology. Buffet isn't running around sitting in the spotlight talking about how society should function etc. Soros is, that's why Soros gets push back and Buffet does not.

Murdoch might be a case similar to Soros on the right. And he's definitely not getting a free pass.
Lots on green usernames in this thread.
That is a false equivalency. NYT is biased but it is biased towards factual information. Fox is not. Pravda is clearly government controlled.

The issue is that if media outlets provide only news their viewership wants to hear then it can go very wrong. But there is a difference. Some people want to hear accurate information while other prefer information that only supports their worldview.

This is different from the issue of trust. If you trust a media outlet because it always gives you news you want to hear then the problem is with you not with media that provides accurate information.

Note also that it is in the interests of those who want to spread misinformation that the public indeed loses its trust in the media. When that happens then anybody's opinion is as good as anybody else's.

Maybe it doesn't. If it only supports running on a single core at a time, it doesn't need to.
> However if you look at the national minimum wage of $7.25/hr, compare that to inflation or productivity, you'll see that the lowest earners are worse now

How large is that group in absolute numbers and what demographics do they represent?

A high school student earning this amount because his parents want him to accrue some basic time management skills - no big deal.

A college or certificate program student working a minimum wage job as they are waiting to graduate and switch into professional career - slightly bad deal, but things will get better.

An income earner for a family of 6 where this individual is the only one working - very bad deal.

Would be interesting to see distribution of demographics before coming up with blanket solutions.
How is this different from ripening? Many commercial fruits are picked unripe, then during transportation (it takes bananas up to two weeks to travel from South America to Europe) they ripen off ready for sale.
