> It’s the e-ink patent problem. Nothing innovative is happening because of the e-ink parent company.

I guess I give up fighting this trope and I get downvoted even when I politely request a citation to backup such a strong claim. I'll join you then. How about: " Yes, all problems are due to patents. It can't possibly be due to low volume and low demand for these types of displays. It has to be patents. Wipe out all patents and et voila , we'll have 10 cent priced 32 inch bistable displays from all the vendors like eink, clearink, and liquavista, Iridigm will all come back to life and the laws of physics and manufacturing economics will bend to the will of HN posters."
Debuggers are very specific tools, and I've never really liked them.

Basically, you get a tiny view of what your code is doing, and have to slowly build a mental model of what's going on through time. I have found that prints and code reading (in a good IDE which is able to track variable references!) are often enough, and usually faster,for the kind of software I write.

Now, things are getting better: mozilla's RR is a game changer(reverse debugging on actual, large projects ), and more recently, pernosco (built on RR but very close to science-fiction) has at long last made me like debuggers again.

Constitutionally entrenched rights are quite limited.

A coworker of mine once referred to Australia as "that policed state." I guess that's why.

something the High Court has read into the constitution through its case law

Have you just given a complete accounting of that? Are you saying that no principles from the Magna Carta come down to you through Australia's legal heritage in the commonwealth?

Do you, or do you not have rights as an Australian? Do you, or do you not enjoy the benefits of rule of law? Do you have protected property rights? Can you reliably conduct business? Do you or do you not have rights?

You try and weasel out of this, with your use of the qualifiers "establishment" and "entrenched."

Well, if your position is that you don't actually have rights, that the government can take those things away from you on a whim, then you've lost your argument, because that, right there, is what is so great about the US Constitution. There are certain things the government is not allowed to do to us, which guarantees our freedom. Is it perfect? No, but it gives us a fighting chance.

On the other hand, if the case law basically amounts to your having rights, then your argument in the thread above also falls apart, because then Australia has the same things in principle that the US Constitution has.

So which is it? (Hey, I'll also accept a nuanced alternative between!)

I would feel sorry for you, if in principle, you do not have actual rights, and the government could play whatever games it wanted with you. That's basically the situation in China. (My wife is from Fujian, so I have a pretty nuanced view of the Chinese system.) And yeah, the US isn't perfect.

But here, we at least have a fighting chance. Just by existing in that state, the United States keeps the world as a whole from sliding further towards tyranny. IMHO.

(Another point of history: When Hitler took power in Weimar Germany, the Nazis already had most of the legal framework for totalitarian rule in the laws as written. As it was, all of the laws touching on human rights had an out for the government, in case of emergencies. I hope you Australians aren't in that situation. It's not as if we in the US are completely free from shenanigans like that, as the Korematsu ruling illustrates. Though some of the current justices have said they'd do something about it, if they got the chance.)
Where is he expecting to find all those under 26 year olds with no debt and a house? The median house in the US is almost 300k. Why do his goals for acceptable mate include must be in the 1%?
Denying procreation is a genocide as well. E.g. sterilisation of a large number of people would be a genocide.
Form the article:
>The deviation presented today is consistent with a pattern of anomalies measured in similar processes by LHCb and other experiments worldwide over the past decade.

So while you're correct that the 3 sigma is quite a low significance by particle physics standards, it is consistent with previous measurements which yielded similar anomalies, presumably at lower significance.
Ugh, hadn't noticed the author went AWOL. Yeah, that's it. I've been using it without apparent issue at least that long. Now I'm not sure if I'd recommend using it, agreed. On the one hand, unmaintained software is always sketchy. On the other hand, it's actually only like two hundred lines of bash, so worst-case you just fork it and pretend you wrote a custom script to manage your subtrees like everyone else does? :/

What options does a warehouse worker or a package delivery guy have if they want to care for a family to the best of their ability. These jobs are tough but they pay slightly not than most. Going to work for McDonald's and earning 25k a year does not put enough food on the table. People grit their teeth and bare it because they have no other recourse or options.

> This commentary is just-so narrative, not serious discussion.

Why don't you engage in a discussion to try to see the other side's opinion. Shouting "It's a narrative" and plugging your ears is not some trump card that automatically wins an argument.

Others and myself are not some socialist cabal secretly trying to take down capitalism. I get paid way too much for stuff that doesn't feel like a real job. I love capitalism but don't see why we can't have a softer flavor of it. It is tough on the bottom rung of society and companies like Amazon have the resources to make lots of people happy and content with their jobs.
I don't agree with what you wrote about attorneys. An attorney can make up whatever b.s. they want as long as it isn't a provable lie.

Was their client caught on camera committing a crime? Just spin some b.s. about that person on screen being someone else.

Did their client rape someone? Just make up some b.s. about the woman being a slut who concented. The attorney wasn't there, you can't prove they are lying when they spin b.s. so they are being "ethical".

The idea that highly paid elite attorneys are doing a public service while going to heroic efforts to try to mislead a judge and jury as to whether their super wealthy clients are guilty is the sort of b.s. these elite attorneys invent that can't be shown to be a lie.

(Of course prosecutors can behave badly as well).

In theory you are correct an attorney can be disciplined, in practice they are not expected to serve the truth.

They can even be disbarred for violating the confidentiality of what the client says to them. That's right, their job in some cases is to literally help insure nobody ever knows the truth of the client's bad deeds.

Beyond that I've read about attorneys being allowed to act against their client's wishes "for their own good", so unless you can show a case of an attorney being disciplined for not letting the client set litigation strategy I have to assume you are confused.
> a mixed panel would be harder to accuse of sexism

That's not how this works. People eager to engage in this kind of ideological battle always have Internalised Misogyny as an argument to fall back on in this situation.
You can feed yourself off of one acre, with primitive tools and basic agricultural practices. There are 1.9 Billion acres in the USA alone. With modern agricultural technology and power of scale, the resources in the ocean, you can feed a lot of people.
This site has statistics showing that despite the population increase, the total amount of acres of farmed farm land has decreased in the last 20 years in the USA.
Its about 900 million.

Paperwork issues certainly exist, and can always be improved, and paperless procedures are important, but I disagee with the author that this particular process kills people.

Paperwork is not a bottleneck of the Italian vaccination program (and many other EU vaccination efforts). AstraZeneca not honouring their obligations to EU while prioritizing UK, is actually killing people. There are tens of millions of doses many countries counted on, which are not delivered. That's what's killing people, not the inconvenience of filling a paper form.
I never saw then try to use the prop wash of the tugs to wash away the sand instead of the slow digging with excavators. The canal is deep enough in the center, really the fastest way to move a lot of sand over small area is by washing it away. Especially is the area is hard to reach with big equipment. As soon as the ships propellors were freed it just have been trivial to free the stern by just goin full steam ahead. On the bow side, I wonder if they tried using the bow thruster to do the same (actually does a container vessel even have a bow thruster?)
You're spot on, in fact, the superposition is key. You see, bitcoin is actually a time machine. Every block entangles itself with a coordinate in spacetime. This allows anyone in the future to relive any moment in the past by just entering the block number they want to visit.

Unfortunately, this same architecture gave birth to both artificial intelligence because of the way it mimics DNA, and a black hole. The inevitable faith of a configuration of matter permeating all spacetime is the end of the universe.

Thank you bitcoin, the worst ecological disaster, like, ever!

At least we got AI and a Blackhole.
That’s why humans of the future will eat those weird bacteria that you find in places like volcanoes, the bottom of the ocean, or acidic caves. Gruel will be a wet, raw clump of it, and we’ll call it “Beyond Bugs”, because bug eating is an unsustainable luxury.

If someone avoids certain social situations or conversations out of anxiety that women might suddenly think they are awful, might that not say more about them than about women?

When people talk about accusations of sexism like they are a hidden landmine someone might accidentally step on, it makes me wonder about the person's soft skills. Not just the inability to have insight into what might come off as sexist, but also a lack of experience in how to respond when one makes a mistake and does something sexist.

If you want to be able to talk openly and honestly with someone and give feedback, you should build a relationship with them so there is mutual trust and respect.

Ideally you don't have a fixed outcome or solution in mind when you talk with them about the issue, other than helping them make the best decision regarding the issue. If you think you know what's best without discussing it with someone and getting their thoughts, you are arguably disrespecting them.

If you can't have that sort of conversation, at the very least you need to lay out your reasoning and experience when giving feedback.

Preferably you do both, using both a past constructive relationship and your reasoning to discuss an issue and talk about potential solutions that they can decide on.

Otherwise you aren't providing constructive feedback, you are just giving your opinion.
Thanks! For the second piece of feedback, I actually already do this for a few characters, like ム. ル is another good candidate. I am not sure if ウ is a bit of a stretch... Note this is also done for radicals with obvious correspondences, like 心草水獣, so you can search 水木 for 淋.

For the first piece of feedback, I have had other people request that, but I am not sure how to balance it with having detailed kanji pages. One thing to note is that while it is less convenient, on the detailed kanji page there is a link to "search this kanji" - I use that when I know a character that contains the part I want, but can't remember the name of the part itself.
What I find interesting is that the proprietary software tmost egregious in its impact to the customers product is device drivers, arguably where the free software began. Yet the devices drivers in and of themselves are not exactly worth anything, the company is selling a physical product after all.

Fair enough, but that doesn't change the fact that this is sexist. It's understandable that, exactly because of how you were raised, you might not completely understand that. But calling another human 'good' based on such rather shallow materialistic values is just showing a complete lack of respect, sorry.
To lead with: No, the one I had in mind was Krauss. His name headed the list of sex pests as early as 2011 within the new atheist / skeptic / CFI / JREF community and the details only escalated since then.

But: A really common conversation derail when discussing this topic is to claim the fallout from the Epstein case is somehow discriminating against people with ASD or related conditions. I think it's similary offensive to claim someone with ALS could not have been a sexual abuser. Most humans are sexual animals, and Hawking somewhat notoriously so.

Reporters back in the day were like responsible hunters. They would peddle their bullshit while occasionally adding what little truth they knew, maintaining the semblance of neutral information providers.

Modern journalism has this breed of reporters outcompeted by a new one that has discovered that that semblance of neutrality was unnecessary.

Judith Miller wasn't a 20 year old when she fabricated tales. I have seen articles in Bloomberg News I know are fabricated (I had access to the raw data misreported) and the reporters aren't children.

Of course the oldies are sad. Their personal breed of lies have now been outcompeted by those of superior liars.

They write articles decrying this particular breed of overfishing the ocean. But they are just obsolete.
Worth considering redundancy in that as well. It’s very easy to end up with serious problems if we have even a single failed crop in one season.
> The X.509 certificate format and concepts are directly used today by TLS and other cryptographic implementations, including its string representations (length-prefixed) which were a decent choice at the time but now quite strange considering the complete victory of null-terminated representations.

Er, what? What network protocols even use nul-terminated strings?

Even if this is referring to programming languages’ native string types, nul termination only won in C, while just about every other language uses some kind of explicit length encoding.
> For some reason we never tell women that.

This is just not true. If you are a woman, it is told to you over and over and over and over again. And women do occasionally talk about it when they talk with each other. Women even know that with age the risks are higher! Shocking, I know.

Also, average age of first birth in united states is 26.9 years old.

Yet also, those who have kids soon suffer lifetime consequences.

There are two counter arguments:

1. As real US infrastructure and capacity continues to crumble, the government could become less and less effective in its enforcements. As an extreme example (first hand) you won't find police on the roads in Honduras or in El Salvador, not because there are no traffic laws, but because the governments are helpless.

2. Big banks actually want Bitcoin. They are smart enough to see past the end of the dollar ponzi scheme, and they aren't concerned with optics or with election cycles.

I personally think it would be a great idea for the whales to grant each US senator 300 Bitcoin, and each congressman 100 Bitcoin in recognition of their excellent service to the people of the United States.
A big part of the problem honestly is that a lot of the arable land is being used to raise crops for meat production rather than direct human consumption. If the population shifted to a vegetable-heavy, meat-light diet it would be much easier to feed people with less land.
Hey Phil, not quite on topic but I've used some of your implem (both for hobby projects and for work) and the conciseness and clarity of your code is a delight. Many thanks!
Pedantic nitpick here, but the issue you are raising is orthography, not pronunciation.

A difficult pronunciation implies that a language has difficult sounds that non-native speakers can't pronounce (regardless how those sounds are spelled, or even if the language has a writing system at all).

If you visit sites like 4chan, you'll see posts about it all the time. Apparently its a popular conspiracy theory to get rid the world of white people. It called the great replacement or something like it. Apparently white people have low birth rates. Hence the conspiracy theory. Though I think Japanese people have lower birth rates. So not sure if the theory really holds under any scrutiny. Unless, I suppose maybe you think the conspirators also hate Sushi. In which case, it makes total sense.
True, but you can already see some effect in greying democratic states in Europe.

A lot of the political attention is focused on the interests of the most numerous voter class - the pensioners - and much less on the interests of the young. Carbon emissions are the only major exception I can think of.

Anecdotally, for myself I've just been able to talk about my code with some trusted friends in more general terms, to get around not being able to share proprietary code and have gotten some good ideas that way.

I'm actually working on spinning up a service around this (specific to WordPress developers for now). Designed to help freelancers and other developers who are feeling stuck and just want some coaching/advice, specific help on projects or specific problems, or confidence having someone behind them as they take on bigger/more complicated projects.

We've been piloting it with a few people so far and have caught some things early that, if they were built, would have caused some headaches down the road that we were able to help avoid.

I don't know how well that scales or if it applies to other spaces, but I feel like there are people who specialize in different stacks that could offer a service like this as well.
Oh man, i was wondering what this mysterious fruit was until I saw its mushmulla they are talking about. It's pretty common here in Kosovo and it can be found accross supermarkets.
I did say that the minds are gods compared to us. What I was trying (somewhat clumsily) to convey is that the minds can think many times faster than us and can partition sections of themselves in order to multi-task on a stupendous scale. I think even for a talented author like Banks it would be a struggle to write an entire novel from the perspective of such beings because it would be a struggle to imagine what it must be like to be so powerful.

From that perspective it's not entirely implausible to write a 1000 page novel that takes place within 10 minutes of human time :-)

Nevertheless they did even more crazy things, like putting nuclear destruction devices under the new skyscrapers in Chicago (Sears) and New York (WTC), and astonishingly even fired some of them off.

These days, the last remaining rulers of the world would be able to engage in a war with robots only - from their bunkers.

In 2050 the robotization of the military will likely be even more pronounced.
