Wikipedia: Indentured servitude is a form of labor in which a person (an indenture) agrees to work without salary for a specific number of years for eventual compensation or debt repayment.

"Without salary"

"WITHOUT SALARY"

And no, the government isn't your nanny. What a bunch of leftist doo-doo. Learn a bit about how horrible unions were in the 70s, and maybe I'll be convinced that "education" is actually a pathway to knowing what's best for yourself (as others suggest)

They make the right choice.
Wait what? I thought Python was an interpreted language. Did I miss something?
AFAIK there are big security risks on hosting user generated content on the same domain of your parent website. That was the main reason github.com migrated individual repo pages to github.io [1]. Also shopify doesn't serve their shops on the domain of their main website, they use *.myshopify.com, I suppose for the same reason.

You're right to point this out, but my counter argument is that these are solvable pain points for such an implementation (either done today in competent zero trust security architectures in progressive orgs or at nation state levels such as Estonia). You won't need a CAC reader on computers, for the most part, if you have mobile apps that can perform the identity proofing (such that's already done with examples like Apple's biometrics systems, FIDO2/WebAuthn, Apply Pay, etc). You'd still have the card for interfacing at endpoints (banks, postal service, IRS/SSA offices, other trust anchors and government services endpoints). I already login to my US CBP Global Entry account with Login.gov and 2FA, why can I not today use the same IAM system to login to my Social Security account? Or my IRS tax account? Or to attest to my citizenship or other attributes that I'd normally need a certified document for (yuk!).

I'm not arguing for such a system without robust support and reasonable downgrades for failure scenarios (identity reproofing if you lose your digital ID, for example). I'm arguing for, admittedly challenging, digital ID modernization without disenfranchisement. I genuinely appreciate you pointing out the challenges, as they must be addressed.

US DHS CISA is absolutely a resource that needs to be leaned on heavily to implement what I describe, and to ensure a strong security posture throughout the federal government's infrastructure.
Yep, if you rent it doesn't make as much sense. All I was pointing out is that automation is way more than just being able to flip your light on using your phone. I have ZWave switches in my home and I don't use my phone to flip any switches. For me, I like being able to program the house and customize it in any way.

A motion sensor hard wired vs one that goes back to a Zigbee/Zwave hub running OpenHab are not too different. One is some added complexity for added flexibility.
Renaissance Medallion Fund
This probably comes as a shock to people outside the quant finance industry, but RenTech isn't the only game in town when it comes to regularly beating the market by one or two standard deviations, year after year. They're just the most famous and have a certain je nais se quois.

The red flag to look out for is extraordinarily low variance of returns, not extraordinarily high mean of returns. Madoff never promised more than about 12%, but he promised to be within 1% of that all the time. If you look at RenTech's Medallion returns since 1988, they're consistently between 30% and 120%. They're not slamming down the same percentile every year.

It's one thing to beat the market - it's still an incredibly difficult feat to do it consistently, but there's an element of chance involved. You won't beat by the same margin every year, even if you do beat every year. If you're hitting similar returns year after year, that implies your work is completely decoupled from the inherent randomness of market dynamics.
There are reasons, many times those reasons are obvious to whomever is actually implimenting the changes but not to others outside of it. The reasons have been highlighted hundreds of times and unless there's actual arguments against those reasons the discussion of "I don't like wayland" is a distractive circle that ignores the content of the original post.
I intend to set it up so that, should they refuse the proceeds, the money is spent in a manner I feel is optimal. For instance, if I were to be able to sell my heart for $100k to a rich industrialist's son, then that's 101 lives saved (1 from the heart, 100 from GiveWell's current best).

I believe that I will spend the money better than the rich industrialist, so it makes sense for me to back me over him.

User dougmwne: Thank you. I do actually have life insurance. That is only sensible considering I ride a motorcycle. I do not disagree that professionals performing a professional duty should be permitted the right to charge for their services.

I think, if transplant surgery were not a protected employment category I would be content to give my organs for free to those not operating in the for-profit system and charge (as raw materials) those who operate in the for-profit system. It's no different from your surgeon charging you for your hip implant. Someone gets paid for manufacturing that hip implant. I merely want to get paid for manufacturing this heart.
Yes, quite deliberately.
Nothing will change until interoperability and full end-user access to data become legally mandated. As it is, everyone has every incentive to prevent users from accessing the data, because the whole business model of IoT is about holding data hostage to extract ransom from the customer.
You're right. Edited the comment accordingly. Both false positives and false negatives exist.
Every July I watch eagerly a certain country graveyard that I pass in driving to and from my farm. It is time for a prairie birthday, and in one corner of this graveyard lives a surviving celebrant of that once important event.

It is an ordinary graveyard, bordered by the usual spruces, and studded with the usual pink granite or white marble headstones, each with the usual Sunday bouquet of red or pink geraniums. It is extraordinary only in being triangular instead of square, and in harboring, within the sharp angle of its fence, a pin-point remnant of the native prairie on which the graveyard was established in the 1840's. Heretofore unreachable by scythe or mower, this yard-square relic of original Wisconsin gives birth, each July, to a man-high stalk of compass plant or cutleaf Silphium, spangled with saucer-sized yellow blooms resembling sunflowers. It is the sole remnant of this plant along this highway, and perhaps the sole remnant in the western half of our county. What a thousand acres of Silphiums looked like when they tickled the bellies of the buffalo is a question never again to be answered, and perhaps not even asked.

This year I found the Silphium in first bloom on 24 July, a week later than usual; during the last six years the average date was 15 July.

When I passed the graveyard again on 3 August, the fence had been removed by a road crew, and the Silphium cut. It is easy now to predict the future; for a few years my Silphium will try in vain to rise above the mowing machine, and then it will die. With it will die the prairie epoch.

The Highway Department says that 100,000 cars pass yearly over this route during the three summer months when the Silphium is in bloom. In them must ride at least 100,000 people who have 'taken' what is called history, and perhaps 25,000 who have 'taken' what is called botany. Yet I doubt whether a dozen have seen the Silphium, and of these hardly one will notice its demise. If I were to tell a preacher of the adjoining church that the road crew has been burning history books in his cemetery, under the guise of mowing weeds, he would be amazed and uncomprehending. How could a weed be a book?

This is one little episode in the funeral of the native flora, which in turn is one episode in the funeral of the floras of the world. Mechanized man, oblivious of floras, is proud of his progress in cleaning up the landscape on which, willy-nilly, he must live out his days. It might be wise to prohibit at once all teaching of real botany and real history, lest some future citizen suffer qualms about the floristic price of his good life."

That is true. But I would have guessed that HN would have been a great place to find those hidden gems because of how niche some stuff around here can be. I guess one part of the problem could be that it is now more difficult to be widely influential: everybody is more or less specialized into narrow fields of study or activity - leading to fewer people being widely interacted with and having their ideas shared.
Just so everyone knows, in the US a similar conclusion was reached by the Supreme Court more than a century ago:

> Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the authority of states to enforce compulsory vaccination laws.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacobson_v._Massachusetts
so either way the us is not at position number 1... at that point it doesn't matter.
Sorry to hear that you had $80k worth of debt, that's certainly a lot. It's also several standard deviations above the median. The median student loan debt in the US is about $17,000 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/zackfriedman/2020/02/03/student...).

In Alabama, you can actually use the net price calculator here: https://financialaid.ua.edu/net-price-calculator/

For a family of 2 that earns minimum wage tuition goes as low as $8,000/year in total, and that's excluding any Federal grants or loans.

Generally speaking, sticker price != net price for the vast majority of students: https://www.manhattan-institute.org/new-approach-curbing-col...

From the link: "The average annual net cost at a four-year public college has grown by almost 81% beyond inflation over the past decade, to $3,870."

Again, I'm sorry to hear about your personal experience; it's totally valid. It's, however, not representative of the median or the majority of the lower class.
I run GNOME/Wayland on my host and do 100% of my computing inside fully-virtualized VMs running xfce, an actually useful desktop environment. In this way, GNOME 3 actually excels because it's completely void of features and is thus mostly invisible.
>A walk won't do that.

It can if you choose it, for reasonable levels of cardio.

If you are only going to do one thing (not advocating that!) you aren't going to be able to beat walking, especially on varying terrain.
So much of our early thinking and statements about COVID were wrong. And it was pushed by hysterical media and governments as the truth and you better not think anything else. This is what leads to skepticism and resentment by the public.

If you have a HSA it is just as good as any other universal health care. Depending on what you decide to value you can argue it is better or worse, but either way for practical purposes you don't have to worry about going to the doctor when you need to.
Choices are about incentives. If you feel you've got nothing to lose you're willing to risk it all.
The good thing about Spring is that if this is your goal and you have the space, it will (very) soon be time for planting.

We don't have very much space where I live, but we still plant lots of vegetables. One pair of planters always has big leafy things growing in them that we harvest as-needed as baby-greens, so our salads are always awesome. And we always have herbs/spices growing on the ledges - several types of similar items so it never gets repetitive.

We also grow edible flowers of various sorts so things look and taste nice simultaneously. If you like spicy, consider nasturtium. They have a sort of hot radish heat to them. Of course, grow red peppers, too, and dry what you don't eat over the summer.

Don't grow corn unless you have a lot of space. It needs crop rotation, or you'll turn your garden into a desert.

So, although you asked for recipes, there is also this aspect of eating where you can have full control of the ingredients. And you can be experimental with edible items that you don't normally see at the market.
If the wet markets in china were just poultry and rabbits, it would not be an issue. We have a good understanding of the potential zoonotic diseases from those vectors.

We - including China - do not have a good understanding of the potential zoonotic diseases from the large variety of wild game that is captured and sold in these markets.
Certainly I would have found this position harder to justify when I was covered by the NHS. It is likely that I would remain an organ donor there since everyone is pulling together and I wouldn't want to be the one getting in the way.

EDIT: Oh and some of you have asked me questions. This platform has now blocked me from responding for some duration, presumably to stop flamebait or troll threads (neither of which is what I was up to). I am happy to continue this conversation over email (in profile) or alternatively I can have a vaccinated representative meet you in person in San Francisco to discuss over coffee.
"it tracks me" is a symptom of a technological regime in which we have little control, in which we think of our devices as "it's", where we can not form a closer bond & begin to think of devices & technology as an extension of ourselves & our will.

devices have some other will, some other purpose, not quite our own, enscribed in them when they are delivered to us. i think that if we had a paradigm of computing where there were ambient neutral sensors peripherals & other capabilities around us, and we were permitted the role of orchestrator: i think that socio-techno-logical cultural be able to see something like this & be excited, be more able to welcome the technology in.
The kernel can choose to not support new hardware with old interfaces. If the X11 can't interface with new hardware, that's game over. No broken userspace necessary.
Again... not saying it’s not possible. Human beings have already played a game COLLABORATIVELY, with only mind to mind communication... this is a philosophical comment on what neuroscience should do, not what it is able to do.

For example, as of this writing, you could have an experimental procedure that results in light sensitive neurons, that when excited by a laser, stop your breathing and remove the sensation of asphyxiation to let you die a painless, playful death.

(Optogenetics, table stakes)

So I think it’s massively important to discuss what should and shouldn’t be done with Neurotech, otherwise with the rate the “throughput” argument is going... aka all of these joystick developments... your life value will be pegged to how many blockchains your mind can mine... enjoy the matrix!

I'd imagine this as far as things like docks are concerned? But the idea that I have to write specific windowing rules just to use my computer suggests this has a long way to go. It should 'just work' out of the box.

Thanksgiving dinner is an apples to oranges comparison to what a CEOs job is. From the article:

> BRT redefined the purpose of a corporation from immediate profitability for shareholders, to a broader lens that includes customers, employers, suppliers and communities

CEOs think about how their business interfaces with the world around them. Some weild power on the order of states/countries, so that would make sense.
So, what the parent said - they offer various plans, and engineers can choose the more expensive ones, and line workers less expensive ones.
I was hoping the OP comment would be flagged dead rather quickly, but this was essentially my response too. I emigrated from the US to Canada purely because of this pervasive mentality that "I can't suffer you to benefit unless I'm getting something out of the deal". It isn't held by everyone in America or even the majority as far as I've seen - but what's weird is that in the US that view is socially acceptable and that's pretty horrifying to me.

Not everything in life is a transaction where you're either the winner or the loser. Trying to measure things in that manner will lead you to lose out on a lot of joy.

Agree, but instead of "that would have put" it should be "that could be putting", we don't know if there are people currently exploiting the vulnerability and without a patch very well could be happening now.

> The virus does have an inexplicable feature: a so-called “furin cleavage site” in the spike protein that helps SARS-CoV-2 pry its way into human cells. While such sites are present in some coronaviruses, they haven’t been found in any of SARS-CoV-2’s closest known relatives.

This is false. First of all it should be stated clearer that there has been parallel evolution across several branches of coronaviruses which have independently evolved a furin cleavage site (so there is evolutionary pressure and advantage for coronaviruses to follow this path):

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S187350612...

And then the statement is just wrong. The related sarbecoviruses found in Thailand have similar furin cleavage sites:

> The RacCS203 S gene is most similar to that of RmYN02 (Supplementary Fig. 3a). The two viruses shared part of the furin cleavage site unique to SARS-CoV-2 (Supplementary Fig. 3b) and have an almost identical RBD aa sequence with only two residue differences out of 204 aa residues

I very much agree with what you wrote. I'll just add a comment:

> Overall, wayland is a good clean slate, it’s been in development a long time. X11 has major warts and they are hard to clear out.

This may seem like it's irrelevant for the user. It isn't. Lots of things us users want are much easier and more attractive for developers to add to the clean slate design that is Wayland.

For example: When I switched, an unexpected bonus I experienced was that my touchpad's behavior got orders of magnitude better. So I googled around a bit, and it turns out that almost all touchpad improvements just happen to occur on Wayland because the people who are interested in that aren't interested in wading through the X swamp in order to implement their stuff. (I mean, have you looked at the X code? Oh dear, oh dear, it's a daunting thing!)
Former fraudster here. It's a stealth ponzi scheme. An advanced ponzi scheme should not look like what it was centuries ago. A ponzi scheme can be polymorphic and stealth.

Can you point me to one Amazon fulfillment center or Walmart superstore that doesn't have any restaurants, grocers, autoparts stores, hardware stores, janitorial services, shopping centers, retailers, courier and delivery services, or warehouses within 20 miles? All of those businesses draw from the same labor pool and compete with each other. I don't think your claim that Walmart and Amazon have monopsony power is accurate.
That's completely incorrect. If you take the us population over 18, that is 209 million. If we assumed 5% are wealthy, that's 198 million who would need to get 1 million dollars. If you multiply 1 million by 198 million, you 198 trillion dollars.
They usually think they can get out before it blows since they're holding the cards.
Compare the scale of the harm that you see to the direct benefits: these huge unions getting each and every member a solid benefits package, and better pay rates, overtime or limited hours. Even non-union jobs pay better in areas with high union membership. Its one of the only tools with broad benefits to working-poor and lower-class at the cost of the non-working rich.

I think it's an unfair argument to say that unions need further regulation. Regulating them is how we've lost millions of union jobs to contractors, and where we keep seeing large strikes broken up by governments. Regulations often benefit large players over small ones. We'd rather see a plethora of smaller, niche unions, than just one massive union. Competition breeds capability.
They nearly universally take that offer (I don't even need to check to state that as a fact, the way US health care is everyone takes what they are offered). That is very different from an offer that nobody takes.

If you are seriously interested (which I highly recommend) just throw yourself into it. In the case of emacs, effort put in is directly correlated to efficiency gained. I was proficient in basic text/code editing in a few hours and incrementally tried to shoehorn most editing/scripting problems to be solved with emacs. There is an emacs wiki[0], the tutorial built into emacs[1], and a stack exchange network (mostly for questions related to emacs lisp which you will want to tinker in pretty soon after using the tool) [2].

Just a note, emacs could be a full desktop experience, supporting reading/writing email, web browsing, document browsing (pdfs, html, etc.), picture viewing, text editing, automation guru, etc etc etc. Some caution against some of these features but I use it mainly for text editing and automation support. It has a very robust keyboard-macro-recording tool, for example.
