Always be wary of studies conducted by people taking a political assumption and turning it into the basis of their paper.

It's not coincidal that said studies either lack specifics in some areas, while being over-specific in others or are cited in the same manner (leaving out details where it helps the political camp, being over-specific in others).

One can already see this turning up in general rebuttals of agriculture, or citations that leave out the critical detail that soil erosion is caused by corn specifically, not crops in general. Or which kind of geographic reagion was used. Or how well farmes tilled their land (see the picture about erosion down-hill: its just a question of the right tilling-technique to prevent that from happening).

And as a last resort you can always toss it into some meta study to "prove" your point.
For me the novelty of Morrowind doesn't quite last, you could just play Skyrim imho.

Morrowind had a world that was so expansive at the time it was awe inspiring. I think that was the main thing that made it so wild. It lacked a lot of quality of life features that make it hard to play today, and I remember routinely taking a break then forgetting which five month long plot I had been playing before going on vacation for a week. Just not the kind of game you can pick up in a weekend.
If you only have W2 income and take the standard deduction, 99% of what you need to know they know. Only changes like new address, dependent, etc would really be relevant.
It's still the case on a Series X. There are separate pools for applications and games, as well, and the Series X is able to keep state for multiple running games at once, which is nice.

The only downside is that it seems to cause a certain amount of pain with applications sometimes not working when there's a contest over sending Dolby to a receiver.

On the time thing: turns out that PlayStation 3 and 4 will stop letting you run games if you replace the battery and it can't re-sync time with the PSN.

Tangentially related, I want a dataset of all cultivated lands and what crops they are growing? Is there a dataset for it? I mean, I give GPS coordinates and I get back crops growing there.
Vaccines are more like hardware. It's not enough to

git clone x.git & cd x & make

Have you tried hardware? The welds are bad, the capacitors are leaks, the leds are in the wrong direction, the transistor are not available, ...

Same for chemistry. Sometimes the details are not easy to reproduce. Are the reactives pure enough? How do you mix them without increasing the temperature too much? Fumes? Contamination? How do you separate the solid part and clean it? Even with a foolproof recipe, it's a lot of work to get something useful.
Among other things, having the query and body parameters automatically validated from the type hints defined on the endpoint and having the corresponding HTTP error and error message automatically added to the response is a huge time saving.

Yes, exactly. This ruling doesn't change much. All it provides is that regional carriers will now be able to offer services outside of their service area with mandated roaming wholesale tariffs instead of private commercial agreements. This might allow for players like Freedom or Videotron to start offering services in more areas, perhaps leading to a decrease in prices where only the Big 3 were previously available, but I do not expect any crazy disruption to retail pricing, as the numbers of players competing in the market will still be limited.

There won't be a Mint Mobile or a Google Fi in Canada for a long time, unless these players decide to partner with a Canadian regional carrier. And even then, I don't know if this would be legally possible, as majority foreign ownership of telecommunication providers is not allowed in Canada. Once again, the Canadian telcos have managed to keep their oligopoly untouched.
Isn't the value of a house what someone is willing to pay for it? There are still a lot of people buying homes in the Bay Area to live in. There are just a lot of rich people in the area, so they're willing to pay the price that the market is setting.
Wow, when did the CRTC actually become useful? </sarcasm>
Well, 10 years is not exactly "briefly". And Biden has announced he wants to bring the Federal Assault Weapons Ban (FAWB) back–although I doubt he'd get it through Congress–red state Democrats like Senator Manchin are unlikely to vote for it, and the Democrats only have a bare majority in the Senate. Still, maybe some future election will deliver a Democratic President with a bigger majority in the Senate and House, and then a FAWB comeback might actually happen.

FAWB challenges never went to SCOTUS, as far as they got was Circuit Court of Appeals where they failed. Note the ban expired before DC v Heller, when SCOTUS switched from treating the 2nd Amendment as essentially a dead letter to treating it as a live provision; so it is not very clear how current jurisprudence would treat it.

I think some conservatives on SCOTUS would want to overturn a renewed FAWB, but they'll struggle to come up with logic to allow them to do that without threatening the federal (near-)ban on automatic weapons, which is something they probably don't want to overturn. I think in the end they'd uphold Congress and the States banning particular categories of weapons, so long as the categories are not so broad as to constitute an effective ban on owning weapons for self-defence.
> Depends in your definition of success.

Yes!

Similarly to the poster (and, I believe, most people out there), I also have to deal with the pressure to try to be "successful", without being able to pass a certain threshold. I guess it's ambition and ambition knows no limits. Or maybe it's fear! Fear sucks as well.

Here's my personal definition of success, for several different areas of life. I use these to make peace with myself:

- personal level: being alive, having goals, energy and curiosity

- health: being relatively healthy, not having any disease and not much pain in the body

- finances: having own house, enough money for down-payments, being able to save more than you spend, having enough for buying spare tools for your job (like a 2nd computer when your main one fails)

- roots: having good relation with parents, direct family, and carving your own path

- family: being able to provide for your children, and spend some time with them

- hobbies and interests: having time for learning, playing, etc.

- relations: not being too stubborn, and having a pleasant relation with your spouse

- spirituality/morality: have a framework, a lens for which you see the world (even if you have to adapt it from time to time)

- career/social position: have a guide-line (a career), such that you can be socially useful, and that you feel you can progress, do what you're capable of, and not aim for more recognition than you deserve, tame ambition

- friends and allies: help and support other people when possible, be helped by them as well.

When I'm (more) down, I refer to this list. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.. :)
> I think ageism, and other biases are in place though.

Haha yeah that sounds right. I think it’s time has passed as we have become accustomed to some of the nice quality of life improvements in modern games. My most vivid memories of Morrowind involve trying to use the paper map that shipped with the game to interpret vague quest directions and find the place I was supposed to be going.

Actually, you can. It messes with very local ecology a bit, but is otherwise a drop in the ocean.
> The latter is what the OP means by “just having an idea is not enough.”

That's quite far fetched given the sentence starts with "As any entrepreneur knows". Society can consider itself fortunate that every valuable scientific finding eventually prevails; but unfortunately - as many cases show - it often takes several publications of the same idea, and the respective earlier authors often fall into oblivion (if known at all).
If the hiring officer has a budget of 150k for the first year, and the recruiter charges 30k, how much are they going to offer you?
Extractive ones will always burn out in the long run as they will run out of resources to extract. They either learn to live in the waste they've produced, i.e. they become recyclers, or they simply die off. It's a question of how much collateral damage they do over their lifetime.

No matter how bad they screw up, in the very long run, Earth has a tendency to figure out how to recycle the raw materials. After all, Earth's ecosystems are the result of surviving cataclysm after cataclysm, from volcanism to asteroid strikes to climate change, to invasive species after invasive species. It's got a lot of experience dealing with giant debris piles left over from one shitstorm after another, be that a biological plague or the ash of an impact event.
> Why do you say that?

I'm not sure politicians care about these issues at all. State surveillance will most likely be used to fight political opposition instead. Fighting child abuse and terrorism are legitimate activities but politicians use them as distractions meant to make people accept total surveillance. People believe governments have their best interests in mind when in reality governments want to protect themselves from the people.

Child abuse is the perfect political weapon. Who would dare argue against such a thing? It'd be social and political suicide. All kinds of laws are passed based on the premise that it protects the children. It implies anything is justified in the fight against child abuse. There is no stop they won't pull.

> it's unfortunate about child porn and terrorism, but it's the price that must be paid

Exactly. It's bad but that doesn't mean there are no limits to how far governments can go in their attempts to combat it. Government agents already routinely violate all kinds of human rights in their fight against terrorism.
Why would they?

I imagine the conversation yielding this article as output went something like this: “Hmm, we need a way to market our business about (trying to) reduce AWS costs.

If customers find solutions cost-prohibitive or ineffective, they won’t continue to use them.

Bit confused by the lucky coin comparison - the mention of ml in the selected tool is a direct product of ml’s groundbreaking performance in that application. Hence the decision to include it and not, say, mechanical turk (as described).
There's good logic in each of these ideas but may be based on false premises. e.g. porch distance may be just outside our solar system or a light year. I hardly expect that beacons are set up around uninteresting life forms. It would be like save the x species of insect--who does that? And even then, we're presuming inclinations similar to our own values.

The only thing that does makes sense is that the only time to even consider aggression is if we were closely matched which has negligible likelihood.

Or perhaps we should quickly figure out what constitutes as 'cute' or 'entertaining' to our visitors, if we are to model their behavior to our own.

So far none of the replies has mentioned this, and it may be unpopular in HN, but:

Seriously consider going back to school and finishing a degree. Although it's "known" that you don't really need a degree for a SW role, there are plenty of well established old school companies that will not consider you at all unless you have a degree. On the flip side, you'll get jobs more easily. A lot of interviewers who choose to interview someone without a degree are doing it "just in case he turns out to be a genius." You are not one (or at least have not shown you are one). Let me be brutally honest: In such companies, you will not get a job if you interview as well as the average candidate who has a degree. Managers don't want to have to justify hiring someone without a degree, and they look worse amongst their peers if a bad hire didn't have a degree than if they did.

> Reading Meyers, Knuth etc. books.

Improving technical skills is always good. However, your role in a company, and your performance, are due to lots of other factors. A person who is average in all areas is generally more desirable than a smart person in one area who is poor in others.

How big a buffer should one maintain if you want the user to be able to keep consuming a video stream for an up to x second packet loss window vs how big an inventory of parts carry in order to keep a production line going given an interruption of x months. Only the physical product has a harder time substituting some sources than others so optimize inventory/buffers on an individual per part basis.

I worked for an organization in a salaried position that had a waiting period for getting health benefits at all. And it was itself a healthcare organization.

As others have noted you’re going to have to stick with things longer, and learn to accept your not the one in charge in most of your roles (especially in the US which has a fairly authoritarian workplace culture). Also you may want to look into the possibility of contracting through agencies.

Are you autistic? You sound like autistic people I know who have similar troubles. It’s helpful to find out if you are and learn about how this affects you earlier in your career rather than later. It can really change how you approach situations at work and with interpersonal relationships so you can stick with things longer. In addition you might find there are autistic hiring programs that can help. (It’s not something you need to advertise but it’s something that’s helpful for you to know about yourself.)

The Fed's REAL income measures this.

It doesn't capture that debt markets - things like housing, cars, and tuition - have gone up. This is because the debt service payments haven't gone up, because they've lowered the interest rate and made it cheaper for people to pay for those things with debt (like most people do).

So, sure, if you live in a world where debt doesn't exist, and all you care about is purchasing homes in cash - then the Fed's measure doesn't work for you.

For everyone else, it does.
I agree with the points brought up by the other two people in this thread. Especially the unread count stresses me out!

My personal wish is to be able to create feeds (or have a reader be able to essentially present in feed form) for websites that have no/inadequate feed.

My solution is a very simple set of PHP scripts that fetch a page with cURL and then scan the DOM for a CSS selector and put each item as an entry in a feed. There are services that do this, but they're paid and I'm a cheapskate :-D Unfortunately I have to tweak the scripts every so often to handle something I hadn't considered before.
I’m an almost 50 year-old English major with a spotty career history, including about 20 years of various forms ‘self-employment’.

Getting a good job can be really, really hard. My current gig at a not-quite-but-almost FAANG took me six months to land. But it’s also entirely possible.

If, like me, you’re not automatically hireable based on your accomplishments, I suggest you approach everything up to the interview as an exercise in marketing. Then treat the interview process as an exercise in sales.

Then all you have to do is get lucky and be prepared to learn as much as you need to to perform in your role.

Interesting article but I just have to say that XLaunchNewImage is basically execve or kexec.

Americans are too quick to take the rental car at the airport.

The average American airport has a good car rental center, but often you are best off avoiding it.

Consider California.

The Car Rental Center at SFO is the worst in the world so far as I know, it is like the movie "Brazil". Take the BART.

San Diego I walk out of the airport to the downtown to a fine choice of hotels which would charge you $40 a night to park your rental car.

Fly into San Jose it is not hard to get to the fringes of Stanford, I would use transit if I could but every time it was early or late so I took a cab.
