Your explanation doesn't make sense because the roles are unequal. The text requires sacrifice from men but subservience from women, creating a hierarchy of powers inside the family. Your interpretation would be acceptable if the text said that both women and men had to sacrifice and submit to each other.
And what do you expect them to do with their piss? Drink it? How jaded to human suffering must one be to report something as minor as this to a company known for having awful labor practices…
Yes debian has the same types of things, but maybe spread across a few commands. I actually just prototyped what I am thinking here https://github.com/seiferteric/pkg_namespace if anyone is interested.

Taxes shouldn't be a problem if you have basic things taken care of: education, health, security, infrastructures. That's something you have to take into account when you work in most of the EU countries and that's taken for granted.

While both employer and employee are paying 50% taxes, you're doing so within a mostly public service framework. You might argue it's not good, or doesn't work properly, or has margin for improvement, and you're right, but it's overall pretty good.

Also being taxed at 50% bracket, unless you want to be in the most hyped cities, you can live a great life in the EU. Like, it doesn't even make sense for "rockstar programmer" to strive for a SV paycheck anywhere in Europe, the reality is so different (cultural, costs of living, cost of entertainment, etc).

That's why I commented on your previous post that you seem to want Europe to be something different, that's on a completely different direction the EU is going.

About sales taxes, it seems that in July 2021 every business that want's to sell to EU customers they must collect and deliver sales taxes to the country of the buyer, periodically. So that will level-out a bit more the playing field, where people would gamble stuff wouldn't be checked by customs. Now the EU should pressure to end the subsidized exports from China.

I agree with you about set the Standard to English, and reform grants based on bureaucracy, and GDPR should be indeed simplified at least for small businesses that aren't hoarding data.

This is a complex problem, where border security won't simply fix it.
Why would you send the photo to Amazon? You send that to a labor reporter or social media. Are you trying to get this guy fired??
If you control both the local and remote side fully and know how to do networking: OpenSSH not only offers L3, but also L2 network tunnels. Before Wireguard, I had been using this feature for years for ad-hoc and not so ad-hoc tunneling. Can be wired up easily using ip-route and ip-rule on Linux. Use systemd units for connecting and reconnecting.

At the same time, it's interesting to see those tags used for what otherwise looks like a pretty un-styled page.

Like, part of the premise of CSS was progressive enhancement, where just the semantic structure alone would provide an adequate experience with however the browser might choose to render those elements by default. Basically my question is, if the font size tags were taken out and just bare h3/h4/p used instead, would that still render a usable page on Netscape 1.1? Could you then supply font overrides via a <style> tag in the header which could be applied by later browsers?

Obviously it would be a different kind of experiment as the result would no longer be identical across all the "supported" browsers, but might be an interesting comparison point.
A lot of christians foolishly think there is not any truth beauty or goodness in other world views and refuse to learn from them. There is a lot a Christian can learn from Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, even Mormons, and probably a whole ton of other religious beliefs. They can learn from Greek myths, eastern myths and so on.

I actually just wish non christians would just at least take the story of Jesus as a myth or legend that they could still learn from like other enduring myths. That would at least give the idea behind it the respect it deserves given its huge influence. The story of Moses even if just fiction is still a powerful story. I mean have you never read a book like Les Mis or LOTR or something and not seen the power those stories have for good?
> Are you looking primarily for Christianity or spirituality in general?

I'll take either. Thank you for those.

Although not too bad a Unix, IRIX was pretty much a closed environment. Support from most open source libraries and apps was poor. I remember running Netscape on my Indy and... that was it. It was a pay-to-play environment, never intended to be put in the hands of enthusiasts. Even the C compiler was extra you had to pay for. By comparison, Sun workstations were _way_ more open than SGI's.
Ask HN: Does anyone actually use the Pomodoro technique?
I did some research and wrote about how the default 25-minute time intervals is better for breaking a procrastination habit, but longer time intervals like 50 minutes are actually needed to do deep work. Link: https://tinyurl.com/r5drje9p

I know only like one person who actually does the technique. So if you do pomodoro, how has it helped and in what ways? How do you make it stick?
Agreed, and not really worthy of a news story.
Why does everything have to be as cost effective as possile?

I'd much rather have robots in my kitchen and my garden that grow fresh vegetables on my soil, adapted to my preferences, and turn them into dishes that match my taste,
than the end-product of a ginormous industrial farming machine.

60-70% of the worlds food supply comes from family farmers,
yet most pesticide and fertiliser usage is in industrial farming.
Factory farming is only cheaper because artificial fertiliser is so cheap, but if you look at the "costs" on the entire system/ecosystem it's a lot more expensive.

If you only view food as a source of nutrition and energy, then this might seem reasonable, but it completely ignores the socio-cultural aspects of cooking.

Having a robot in your kitchen allows you to share in the work, to learn from it, and teach it.
Maybe you cut the tomatoes while it peels the onions.
Or you start cooking, and it finishes for you.
Maybe you cook your lunch, but because you want to wake to the smell of freshly baked croissant, the robot does it.

There is an infinite spectrum of interaction, learning, and joy that could come from this, that goes beyond merely eating the prepared dish.

Maybe small restaurants in the style of old Japanese eating houses combined with community gardens would be a good middle ground though, but having industrial take-out everyday sounds like a dystopia to me.
Very concise. ^^ This guy dreams ^^
did you really expect someone that have a bachelor or master degree in computer science to not know how to do this.

The article includes a screenshot:

Seems like a lot of detail (e.g. going back through the past 2 months of tweets to check the source label) for just a "hey this sucks!" protest. Also, seems risky to send a screenshot of your own ticket while logged into the ticket system, though maybe all the login template info is just outside of the cropped screenshot?
You're in a boat in the middle of a flat lake. Picture it.
Another option was sending it to media, which I presumed would have gotten attention. I thought the person had a better chance of holding on to the job if it was handled without publicity.

I don't have a lab, so I can't determine if it was pee. And I can't imagine you'd get to hold on to a job at Target if you poured pee out in the parking lot in front of customers.

Our friend with the USPS said "[at USPS] we’re allowed to travel as far as we need to find a restroom so no need to do it."

If this is the case at Amazon, then there shouldn't be a need to pee in bottles.

However, if this is not the case at Amazon, then what was apparently Bezos' tweet [1] was not reflective of the situation on the ground. I've written him directly before, and depending on the response, I may do it in this instance because he's not seeing what I'm seeing.

Where are you finding places for $1500? I'm seeing most stuff around the $2000 range.
Friend told me that they had serious social anxiety. Also they're on the spectrum. One on one they seemed quiet when we first met, but not pathologically so. However, when we're out and about they tend to not speak to anybody, whereas I'll say 'hi' to my neighbours. In small groups, they tend to be super-quiet and to self-medicate with alcohol.

So, I was really surprised to find out that they had worked as a bartender. I can't give specific recipes, but there are forms to a lot of small-talk. That's what I mean by "macros". Of course, misfiring can lead to the hilarious/awkward interactions like "Happy Birthday! Thanks, you too! Doh!"

Things like looking at areas of the face that aren't eyes sporadically can help with making at least intermittent eye contact, if that's uncomfortable for you.

This seems to get better with age, although not to go away. You just develop more habits and skills. As I said, I used to be too shy to hand out my business card at first, but it just becomes a habit. You can practice it.

On the one hand, viewing social skills as skills to be learned can help, but it can also lead to IMO anti-social behaviour like PUA. If other people see you as trying too hard or being formulaic, that's a turnoff. With PUA, there's a nasty undercurrent.

Sorry, I don't have anything more concrete. Maybe this -- take small steps to get out of your comfort zone, almost like desensitization training. Don't do it all at once so you don't freak out, and don't beat yourself up too hard if you get embarassed about how you think others are reacting to you. If people are actually shitty to you, then hang out with better people.

After COVID, I think I'm going to try to do some standup comedy. The thought of bombing in front of an audience is terrifying, but also kind of delicious. I love those incredibly awkward scenes in TV shows or movies where you're dying inside for the characters. Maybe you can just go meta on awkward/embarassing situations and pivot from awkward to hilarious.

EDIT> What about framing the problem as writing scripts / playbooks for a chatbot, except that chatbot is you. Do little teeny tests, bit by bit, expanding your comfort zone / social envelope.
- AFAIK - it still compiles into normal JS nor does the TS team work on deno (hope I am wrong) so it's not really FCC as most would think

- this doesn't make sense, its bad API design and shoe horning in a completely different paradigm is not a good idea, it should have moved somewhere less familiar and more oriented to the environment (I know that sounds weird but giving a quick answer, there are better solutions and this aint a browser)

- not bad, but seems odd to me as a language feature in some ways, there are plenty of ways to achieve this. (macOS will do this to your node scripts even itself, why do we need more of it)

- this is subject to the same problems NPM could have, but I guess it is easier? Now you have to lexically parse all files to determine an import and you also have to remember where you keep your 3rd party packages without a centralized way to know it (edit: this seems to harm the previous point)

- bundling isn't that interesting in this context as it just bundles the whole runtime with the package, which is terrible for size of packages and doesn't net a lot of benefit since they are also now tied together - if there is a security flaw you now must fix the entire binary and hopefully it still compiles. (edit: technically swift did this a long time too... but they also were reasonably sure they could include their runtime with the OS itself once ABI was stable, I am not sure if Deno has a path for this or if we just get fat binaries forever)

- top level await is a weird one to me, there are valid reasons its not in node currently. but yeah- no one likes having to write janky init code to work around this

final edit: I have a lot of opinions on this and would love to learn more about why deno is great. from what I can tell, its just a faster language of js which, imo, is great. But the points drawn from GP are just bizarre to me.
So Amazon is blackmailing us with the delivery people as hostage?

Did it ever occur to you that having an agreeable and nice personality is not quite what is needed to bring forth the ideas of free software movement? It is not like Stallman wasn't effective in this role - everyone in this thread was reached by his ideas in different ways. People from all over the world have heard of Free Software, joined the movement, have built a lot of applications, but apparently all some people need is for him to also be nice. I guees it is never enough for some people.
It does not support CalDav right now. The reason being that I didnt need CalDav when i developed the project. That being said, a lot of people have asked for CalDav support after I launched so it is going to be a prioritized feature moving forward.
My only regret in life is that I wasn’t born 8 years earlier. My older sister paid 60% less for college and bought a house twice the size for half the price of what my family is currently considering. Timing is everything.
> then I wonder what you would consider evidence of any ancient person existing, or even evidence of any fact in general.

Without opening up a broader epistemic discussion: the question of the existence of specific people is quite a reasonable question. Because Socrates rejected writing, there is some question as to whether he really existed or was a rhetorical invention of his student plato. On the other hand, say, Sophocles is described by various contemporaneous sources. Caesar, Augustus and Marc Antony pretty definitely existed -- there is a lot of surviving contemporaneous evidence.

On the other hand the existence of a much more recent figure, Shakespeare, as the author of a body of work is still hotly debated in some circles (there is evidence that someone by his name was alive at the same time, but was that the person in question?)

There are no contemporaneous accounts of the life or death of Jesus; even Josephus whom you mention was born after the events described in the gospels.

> I'd agree that Jesus' ultimate vision is humanity living in harmony with one another, but that this requires living in harmony with God, too. We're pretty terrible when we try to lean on our own understanding.

That's a particular stance that requires judging terrible people who claim to have religious backing to have not been in alignment with a god. Both sides in a war claim divine support, after all. It's quite possible to live in harmony without any gods.
>Would this imply that dreams developed some 500 millions years ago or that the different trees of the animal kingdom both developed the ability?

Cephalopods have much, much more complex brains than the other mollusks (such as gastropods or bivalves), so the latter is more likely.
Yes, because that's the correct answer in a real-world situation. If you want to play some game with the applicant, be sure to tell them you're playing fantasy and not reality.
I took Professor Wellerstein's class it was super interesting. For my final project I researched some of the peaceful nuke ideas, and this Israeli canal was discussed in that class.

The US had an entire program dedicated to a bunch of different applications of nuclear bombs that were not blowing up cities called Project Plowshare[1]. Some of the proposed ideas were the above second canal, another was a type of "fracking" to release natural gas, yet another was a way to create a new protected port (for military purposes)

there was also a similar program in the USSR called Nuclear Explosions for the National Economy [2]. They had similar ideas, but the big achievement was closing two oil wells that could not be conventionally capped. so they detonated nuclear bombs adjacent to the well which physically blocked the well.

I would highly recommend checking out Wellerstein's blog [3]. tons of cool write ups about different aspects of nuclear technology and their history. Another fun thing he made, the Nuke Map [4]

The "hard problem" is just Philosophers attempting to remain relevant by inventing problems where there are none.

The hard problem isn't knowing if other people are conscious.
The hard problem is knowing whether I am conscious.

I don't even know what consciousness is! How could I possibly claim that I have "it"; or that I am "it"?

What possible experiment could I perform that would determine whether I am conscious or not?

Peeing in a bottle wasn't the thing that was reported. Emptying a bottle of urine in front of the customer's home was the problem.

The driver should have emptied the bottle into a toilet on his next break (or after his shift). Or, failing that, dump it in the woods out of the way.
HPy – A Better C API for Various Python Implementations
just use tsocks. it ld_preloads over the socket functions and has a configurable table for what to redirect through the socks server (in my case ssh). it makes any program socks aware.

net result: with tsocks bash or tsocks command, you can control which processes or shells can see the vpn remotes.

tsocks + ssh -D has been my preferred vpn solution for many, many years.
You're simply convinced that knowingly telling falsehoods isn't lying, if it is done by people in leadership posititions, with the calculated beneficial social effect (and the calculations turn out to be right).

Knowingly telling falsehoods is only lying when it's done for reasons like personal gain, avoiding blame and covering up misdeeds.

The population doesn't deserve the truth, and reacts badly to it; it is better if the people are steered like livestock. Or perhaps treated like children. Children are told lies with a view toward controlling their behavior.

> IMO, the evidence of divinity is fairly strong, too, but can only be resolved as a matter of faith and not solely empiricism

If the evidence of Jesus's divinity isn't empirical evidence, then what sort of evidence is it? I've always thought of faith as meaning "belief despite the lack of evidence".

> I'd agree that Jesus' ultimate vision is humanity living in harmony with one another, but that this requires living in harmony with God, too. We're pretty terrible when we try to lean on our own understanding.

In general people seem to be pretty terrible if they lean on religious understanding too. I don't see much evidence that religious people are more moral than others. Personally I'm a big fan of Jesus's vision of living in harmony with one another, but I don't see why this needs to have anything to do with a god.
It looks nice but I couldn't envisage using it personally. I love netlify and it's whole CI/CD integration, but more importantly it's free for 100GB/month. After that I'd just pay (as 100GB/month for a static site seems a fair amount of virtual footfall)
No doubt. I’ve known some pretty insulated, hateful Catholics.
A bit easier is Metamagical Themas https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Metamagical_Themas which is a collection of articles from Scientific American when he took over the Mathematical Games column.
Your line of reasoning is similar to "where does food come from? The grocery store, obviously!"

The underlying question is not how YOU got your moral compass but where do the people who taught you yours - and eventually society as a whole - get theirs.

If it's a set of principles that civil society generally agrees upon, then the rest are implementation details that will vary from situation to situation.

If it's a set of whims of the people in power and will vary regularly and constantly, then "damnation" comes from breaking today's rules.. maybe without even knowing what they are.

Your interpretation is certainly kind and would probably lead to a great way of life - my issue is still this text can easily be interpreted to be far less charitable and imply that the power of household decisionmaking lies with the husband, so long as he respects and loves his wife. Respecting and loving your wife is really, really up to interpretation. There are plenty of people now and throughout history who would not interpret this text the same way you have.

The text unequivocally gives different instructions for men and women, and the instructions given to men imply having the power in a relationship. Your interpretation doesn't sway my reading of the text as it is.
> What's wrong with "I'd use a library" or "I'd Google it"?

Saying "I'd use a library" isn't a reliable signal. If you hire based on it, everyone will just parrot it. On the other hand, being able to solve programming/math problems is a reliable signal. Linus and Jeff Dean are very good at such problems and it's not a coincidence.
> A 5 minute outage is not acceptable in many industries or at scale.

Well, if that's the case, you better have your redundant systems on your normal DNS entries, because there is no chance you will distribute new entries over the internet in 5 minutes, whatever value you specify at the TTL.
Just a note on chess programs:
Until very recently (months) the best chess programs consisted of both neural network based ones, and search based ones similar to deep blue. They would go back and forth for supremacy, and both are way better than any human.

Recently, one of the top search based engines (stockfish) added neural networks on top of it, and it got significantly better still. This was a couple months back, maybe the pure neural nets have caught up again!
Keep it in the bottle until the shift ends? Dump it in the woods? Lots of choices that don't include dumping directly in front of a customer's home.
Thanks for sharing this. One of the best pieces I've read on the topic, it's sad to see society's shift in this regard. I agree with you, and we can't know yet what the consequences of this will be in the long term. It seems like it matters less and less how good we are at what we do, and more and more what "class" we are considered to be in.

In my view there are few things more rewarding than taking control of our lives, and stop blaming others for our own shortcomings.
