When you say 'dock', do you mean the top bar? Well, that would be a development. If you mean a menu of application icons at the bottom, I never had that in GNOME 3 on Fedora.

I actually like GNOME 3 as a desktop: the streamlined process of hitting the Super key or moving the mouse toward the corner and typing in the application name that I want to launch, with the whole screen used for the preview. I also never put anything on the desktop (as in icons, files etc.). Even saying this I get strange flashbacks to 2000s computing.

What pushed me away from it at the end (to KDE) was the applications. The trend in GNOME is clearly removing or at best hiding everything except the barest minimum required for pretending we have an app. At some point it shifts from very annoying to unusable. And now I'm putting up with KDE's own weirdnesses, like insisting on creating a cryptographic wallet for everything, or broken hibernation on desktop (a.k.a. big people computer). I hope it's just standard Linux jank and not sign of decline of the space.

IMO both can be true

I'm willing to bet for the 20-40 wpm boomer, writing notes by hand is significantly slower (and therefore worse) than typing, because the act of typing is so challenging for them that they can't focus on the actual subject matter.

Meanwhile, for actually competent typists, it's nbd and the fact that they can actually type faster than they can write helps them to focus on the subject matter.

Agreed that it is complex and I understand it is a bit tough, which is part of why I think the authoritative perspective should not disappear or be entirely disrespected, but would best be toned down. I would trust the CDC or WHO far more if they demonstrated themselves to be organizations I could trust. To me, that starts with being honest instead of carefully chosen lies expected to be "most effective" at controlling people to do the right thing. I have faith in the long term that this will be learned by these organizations and they will get better, but for now I don't see it as rational to accept at face value anything coming out of them that has any wiggle room of interpretation.

The rest of the population that believes things you believe are crazy, are not crazy, but just working with different information. There's cases of some beliefs which pretty much exclusively crazy people believe (mass gangstalking for example) but that's pretty easy to identify and has very direct correlation with mental health conditions. The way to fix this is to treat people as the rational agents they are and allow them to make their own choices. For now it seems myself and others who question authoritative sources on what reality is, have to almost default to "what the authority says is probably lies" because that seems to be true.
Median is the right metric. Household vs. personal, I'm not sure if it matters.

Economic cycles run in decades, hence you need to look at terms longer than decades to see if there is sustained improvement or not. From 1986 to 2019, there was gain at the median. [2; Table H-6] shows that since 1975, the median household income has increased by an annualized 0.7%. Each of the dips in [1] correlates to macro-economic events such as the '89 recession, dot-com/Y2K thing, sub-prime mortgage crisis. When the 2020 number come out, we'll likely see another dip due to COVID.

None of those events were precipitated by wealthy persons somehow screwing the poor. The sub-prime crisis comes the closest, but many wealthy persons were also affected badly by that policy error. The entire workforce of Lehman Brothers, for example.
Interesting to see this come up. I wrote about using pass to authenticate to Docker inside of an alpine linux docker container last summer[1]. It was quite the undertaking to get it all working. The premise was to figure out how to securely log authenticate to docker, potentially in a CI type system.

From what I understand at least one FAANG company has an entire team writing software to change these terms in their entire document and code base. These companies are now willing to sink money and engineering talent to implement right speech campaigns. Unfortunately, these campaigns are usually headed by non-tech folk, re HR, marketing, DI, which don't use these terms on the first place and don't take kindly to pointing out that the project and replacement vocabulary are based in a racist view US cultural superiority and narrow interpretations of US history.
oh damn, that's exactly what i've wanted.
8000 infections of SARS worldwide. It took how many hundreds of millions of HPV infections and cancers to detect the link?
A system that limits the number of posts individuals can make on a per-article or per-diem basis would go a long way to silencing overly strident voices which, out of their sheer verbosity and pertinacity make it appear that their (often) extreme views are more prevalent and widely accepted than they in fact are.

An alternative is to generate an in-forum currency that can be spent on comments, either on a per-post or per-word basis. This currency could be earned based on reputation--but as we see here on HN, and many other places, upvotes does not always go to the most thoughtful and engaging comments--or some other metric (statistical distinguish-ability of posts from the corpus of posts? not sure).
Wait, we first need to know if the OR in "GPL v2 or later" is short-circuit or strict evaluation.

If you order them in bulk, they’re between $115 million and $130 million each (https://gcaptain.com/ever-givens-operator-orders-20-new-ultr...).

Its cargo probably is worth a lot more, though ($130 million divided by 20,000 containers is $6,500 per container)

Egypt first would need a court to judge that its claim is valid, and then probably would sell it.

And if that doesn’t bring in the necessary amount, Egypt still would have a claim, and likely would seize any other ship from the same order that passes through the canal (possibly even ships that aren’t in Egypt)
What is the new meaning of the word "courage" then? I presume it just means a decision other than the "safe" option. It's a bit melodramatic, perhaps, but not really a new definition. From an individual perspective, someone may have felt they were sticking their necks out and were in danger of hurting their career if the decision led to backlash and a reversal.

(Talking about the audio jack change, no idea how making easy-to-maintenance parts is not the safe choice).
Even Blue States have deficient infrastructure and lackluster public education. There are plenty of Blue States with Democrat super-majorities in state legislatures where the GOP can safely be ignored. Yet, the problems persist.
Also: why Mobilecoin, which is as far from "an alternative payments infrastructure" as most other cash-grab cryptocurrency ?

It isn't known how much of it was premined, and from an early version of their whitepaper, the founders might have as much as 80% of the total supply of the coin. This isn't fine for a cryptocurrency which aims to be "an alternative payments infrastructure", and it isn't fine for Signal to try to promote them as such.
Reminds me of Warden used (at least in the heyday) by Blizzard to prevent cheating in WoW. In the automation community they ended up having to use rootkits to hide the process, as previous methods of spoofing the return signal were denied in Blizzard vs. Glider over EULA infringement.

Brainstorming on paper gives you more freedom to do whatever you want. Editing it out works better in an editor. I do write down ideas on paper but when I tried to write more on paper I am unable to keep up, my hand gets tired, the writing becomes less and less legible. This is the result of lack of practice I guess..
> low PayPal adoption outside US

As a European I have the opposite impression. Pretty much all online sellers I know that don't offer Paypal are in the US.

And sending money is one thing, having yet another weird cryptocurrency is not the right solution though.
It is very true that a robot vacuum will not solve ALL your vacuuming problems.

It really only solves maintenance cleaning IE doing the main bits that get dirty most often like common walkways, near the front door etc.

For me, that is 90% of the work. I only live in a small place and wife and I appreciate it. In a large house, with 3 or more kids? I'd buy one for every floor if I had to.

For the other 10%, I have a dyson battery powered stick thing. Gets into the nooks, does the keyboard and the car too.

And there is something nice about being able to do the dishes, wash and dry clothes, vacuum the floor; all while playing games.
Attacks by Christians against Muslims long predate 9/11, but that doesn’t mean that attacks by certain specific predominantly Christian groups against certain specific Muslims, particularly in and around Central and South Asia starting shortly after 9/11 were not motivated by the 9/11 attacks by al-Qaeda.

If you can accept that, the same thing with “events related to Mandatory Palestine” in place of 9/11, Muslims in place of Christians, and Jews in place of Muslims should not be much of a stretch.
> Why not?

Because the price of small cap coins is insanely volatile, and even more subject to manipulation than cryptocurrencies in general. Mobilecoin's price changed by 1000% over the course of a couple weeks last month.
I’m suggesting that it has to happen in a specific order, which it does. Regardless of the direction the tokenization process reads, the rules can’t be evaluated concurrently.

Yes, because it checks if the token is a number before checking if it is a name.

(Not the one you responded to) I know what an mRNA vaccine is and the only clearcut answer is that "yes, obviously the long-tail risks of mRNA vaccines could outpace the long-tail risk of COVID-19". The statement is also true when you say "...COVID-19 could outpace...mRNA vaccines" as well, if that's not clear.

BTW the "long tail" of COVID-19 in children is totally unproven and the whole "long haulers" phenomenom is likely (a) a small part normal post-viral fatigue which we see with basically any virus, and (b) mostly psychosomatic/psychogenic illness.
According to the blog post this site runs in AWS us-west-1. With Fauna you don't know the data center but according to their status page they have infrastructure in AWS us-west-2. Latency from us-west-1 to us-west-2 is 25ms so you can subtract that from the total time.

Fauna claims to route your request to the nearest data center so I'm interested in validating this. Seeing 400ms latency where I'd expect <50ms is important to me, especially on Lambda where you are billed waiting for the response.

>That didn't happen on Android.

Epic did it on Android (they pointed to their own source for Fortnite).

For others, there's no need, like there is on iOS. E.g.:

Google doesn't need to build their own Android app store, they control the main one already!

Facebook doesn't need to do it, as Google is not as strict with app privacy constraints as Apple is.

FCC urges Americans to run internet speed app to counter broadband data fudging
It's over its not happening anymore. You have to follow people's "stories" to see what they signal or post about, which is currently common for people that are currently 18 to 30.

There is missing metadata in that approach just like there is missing metadata in the bookshelf approach.

What we need is a way to make filter bubbles and echo chambers fungible. Like, we should be able to alter our user session to that of our contact's, with their consent. Transmit their whole data-broker profile to our computer and look at it. Or browse the internet and social networks as if you had their session, just to see how search results are different, how news headlines are different, which articles are shared to them, what their stories are reinforcing.

That will be even more insightful than what your world used to be like.
I agree for the US to pause the rollout is likely based on more data than 6 known cases of clotting. Not trying to be conspiratorial but my two cents is the authorities have more data then what is publicly being shared.
The worst device I have ever owned was a Microsoft Surface Pro 6. Most problems with the hardware, like the keyboard not being recognized half the time, or the touchpad randomly ignoring my inputs.

Would not recommend to anyone. A friend of mine has a Surface Book, and he has just as many problems as I had, but with the Surface Books most problems are with the GPU in combination with the bad drivers and horrible external display support.
Thank you for the clarification! Somehow I didn't see that detail in an article I read about Biden's plans.

And yes, I generally agree with your last paragraph. But that said, it is worth noting that taxes on normal income do discourage people from making money. (I'm not saying this to support a reduction in income tax, just as an interesting note.) So I think it is worthwhile to consider incentives. For example, income at x%, short term cap gains at x+10% and long term cap gains at x-5%.

Of course, if you really want to go all the way regarding fairness and incentives, you'll tend towards entirely different systems (Georgism, for example)
It can be a problem if you want to back up the password database to the cloud.

Because you still need to manage your GPG keys with an obscure CLI. When I last switched computers, I tried just copying my "~/.gpg" directory. Didn't work. GPG was confused, produced even more confusing messages, which didn't really help me understand what the problem was. I needed to google for the right incantation of commands to export my keys from one computer and import them on another. Compare that to what you have with KeePassXC: switching computers? Just copy this single file and everything will just work.

And I don't want to know if I'm holding GPG right. I just want the tool to work for my specific case. But GPG wasn't designed specifically with this case in mind, so, as usual, it will be terrible. It tries to be too many things.
Reading this type of stuff becomes more difficult once you understand Modern Monetary Theory.

All this libertarian nonsense about what effect crypto might have on currencies and what crypto is just reads like posts on a flat earth Facebook group.

I'm not saying that this article is a poor analysis, but that it's analysing a fundamentally illogical and broken ideology (libertarianism) as if it were something other than a collection of insane and contradictory ramblings that all boil down to "the role of the state is to protect me from my slaves".

Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, Donald Trump, all have ridiculous broken understandings of economics and it shows in their political leanings and ideologies.

Bill Gates is far closer to understanding how things actually function, and you can see it from how he speaks about the world.

Not GP but usually the big reason for not buying is that you either need a large amount down (20% in my market, or 10% + additional monthly "Mortgage Insurance" payments until you hit 23% ownership). Average home price in the "Greater Area" around the city (meaning you might still not live close enough to be able to use public transit) is currently ~$665,000 according to Zillow, which means you need to come up with ideally ~$133,000 to put 20% down, or ~$66,000 and pay a premium on top of your mortgage. Either way, this huge down-payment is in addition to the ~7-15k in closing costs you'll be paying. Even then, you're bidding against cash buyers who are willing to waive inspection, so good luck.

$70k-150k up-front isn't easy to save up for even above-average earners (remember, these are average home prices, not luxury homes), so anyone earning average or below is forced into either renting forever, or moving to another town.
That take isn't unintuitive, but I think it discounts the degree to which suicidal thoughts are the product of mental illness. It's not that a suicidal person needs a reason to live, or a logical argument to change their mind. In most cases (some estimates say 90%) the individual needs treatment for a specific mental illness.
Thanks for the ad-hominem.

No thanks for the misplaced whataboutism.

And yes, all cryptocurrencies are ponzis. Because they don't create value. They just extract it from other people.

So will their be a version of the app that doesn’t have payments built in at all? Because if not it will only be a matter of time before someone comes up with a playbook convincing nontechnical users they need to send mobile coin to them in order to keep using signal.

Even my non technical relatives know not to install another app that some stranger tells them they need. Trying to explain what cryptocurrency is and how not to fall into that trap if using signal sounds like a nightmare.
