> I'm fine if they want to sit in the corner and whine, but if they're going to use this whining to enact policies that don't work despite decades of trying, then I'm going to push back, and yes, I'm going to be a little insulting

This is a little problematic for me. You are basically saying people have a right to whine, but not a right to try to remedy the situation causing their whining.

Say you live in a fictional country X. Country X has a problem called "Raw Water Fever" where people get these massive chronic migraines because they take untreated stream water and squirt it up their butts with a baster (this is called "basting" - and gives a nice euphoric effect due to some yet-undetermined combination of native bacteria in the water reacting with gut bacteria). Previous efforts to get people in country X to use treated water fail because they complain the treated water doesn't produce any euphoria. The country also tried outright banning basting, and that was also ineffective.

So, the government decides that the right solution to this problem is to reach into your wallet to subsidize free per-use testing kits for the whole country. These testing kits would be able to tell you whether the water you are about to squirt up your butt has the Raw Water Fever bacteria present.

If you protest, the government says that while are allowed to whine about them reaching into your wallet, that's about all you are allowed to do because they already attempted previously to ban basting and it was ineffective.

Are you cool with this, or would it leave a bad taste in your mouth? Now, say that basting is not country X's only source of problems, it has lots of other problems stemming from behaviors you don't partake in. The government wants to reach into your wallet for each of those problems too. How are you feeling at this point? Are you glad to give up your hard earned money to help citizens of country X continue their favorite behaviors safely? Or does it leave a bad taste in your mouth and make you want to move to a different country where the citizens' behaviors align more with your own?
I'm always amazed at how many words he can use to say so little.
I hear it as well, even when using the speaker on my phone and not headphones (where it seems like it would be even more noticeable).
The issue at hand is that working women make considerably less money overall than working men. This is due to any number of factors including sexism, social effects, and the necessity of being present at, key, moments of the child rearing process. In the current iteration of our capitalist system it's required for nearly everyone to work, especially in the lower classes. Women have all the same needs that men have, and they have to cope in a society that, for many reasons, pays them 30% less.

Identifying those factors and working to minimize or eliminate their affect is a noble goal. But there are some factors that can't be eliminated, and we wouldn't want to live in a world where they were.

Feminists are right that there is a problem, this is a demonstrably unfair society. It doesn't matter what the reason is as much as it matters what the solution is. People spend a huge amount of time arguing about the problem, who's fault is it, what factors come into play.

I don't want to live in a world where women are men. Where they can't take time to start a family and properly care for their children, because keeping the money flowing is a more immediate need.

I want to live in a world where you can't just take time off to raise a child, but also to do art, or to travel, or to simply be a human who exists outside their office.

TLDR: Why matters very little, the income gap exists and we should fix it.
Well, of course - it was either started at NSA or by Paul Le Roux, so, neither is a good reason to invest money or energy in this stinky steamy pile.
>> "Bernie was by no means perfect. But no man is."

Compared to Madoff most of us ARE perfect. I have no doubt he felt sorry for his actions once caught and punished, ut this is not the same thing as regretting them enough to voluntarily work at change your ways. Good riddance.
9 million/year have not been helped by donations, that's why the number persists.

The "per year" number for COVID cannot change now, it's been a year. It is what it is.

COVID, in light of other preventable deaths, and especially in terms of life years lost, is not of justifiable greater concern compared to others, and from mortality rates/demographics and seroprevalence, this has been broadly known from not long after the beginning. The dollar cost versus life-years-saved is borderline insanity.

The argument lockdowns saved lives has been thoroughly debunked [0], and even the most cursory common-sense look at any per-capita chart by country and measures employed confirms that at a glance.

If you want to continue killing tens of millions per year so you can save the lives of far fewer, you have no standing. Frankly, that position disgusts me.

Yes, the example image shows onions, which seem like an easy match vs. broad-leaf weeds, but plenty of other vegetables would be harder.
"We’ve been steadily understanding more and more about the structure and implications of our models—and they continue to fit beautifully with what we already know about physics, particularly connecting with some of the most elegant existing approaches, strengthening and extending them"
Until his "theory" makes a single experimentally verifyable prediction, all of this are just empty words of a deliusional pseudoscientist that thinks too much of himself.
I predict a slow, constant increase in value over time, not even going down when cryptocurrencies are going down, as people still want to buy/sell cryptocurrencies when prices go down, so Coinbase will still make a killing as a company no matter what.
> Without an ordonance from a doctor you wont get a vaccine.

Like many people are trying to explain to you, you're just talking nonsense. You can get many vaccinations commercially without any kind of prescription in most western countries.

Many countries even have commercial chains of shops that do this - for example example here's a price list of a company in the UK.

https://www.masta-travel-health.com/Booking/Wellness

In the UK even normal supermarkets offer for example vaccination against influenza as a normal over-the-counter product routinely.
The Economist had a recent article on why spelling reform never really gains traction. Basically, those in power to change it have no incentive to do so: https://www.economist.com/books-and-arts/2021/04/10/why-its-...
There seems to be an argument to be made that sharing an article resembles saying "I heard that X" where X is the contents of the article. It seems a bit dumb to have the heard that distinction and not apply it to sharing on social media. I don't think it's reasonable to assume that by sharing an article a person is asserting they consider everything in it to be unquestionably true. It generally means they found something they heard/saw interesting.
Right, you know in a completely unregulated market, you can just put fake things on the books yeah?

Remember that ETF that was trying to list a few years ago said 95% of all volume in the crypto space was fake. [1] Now, at the time, they included Binance as a legitimate exchange but you know nobody's looking and they can do literally whatever they want.

That designation is especially suspect as:

> Of the 10 exchanges, only Binance isn’t a money services business (MSB)

Consider of course this was 2 years ago.

This whole space is utterly uninvestable.

So let me reverse the question -- on what basis do you believe these unregulated fly by night bucket shops are on the up and up? What have they done to prove their legitimacy to you?

No, the exploit would be in the comment text. You're exploiting a bug in the comment display code when it displays your comment to another user to do something that the comment display code isn't supposed to do.

Much like exploiting a C program that handles untrusted text and doesn't bounds check it. You aren't supposed to be able to run any code at all, but a vulnerability lets you make the program do something it isn't supposed to.

Some of the easiest exploits would be prevented since you probably can't overwrite code like you can (or used to be able to, a lot of platforms have added protection against this) in C, but some exploits are still possible just by overwriting other variables with values that the program doesn't expect.
If the technology in fact has no such potential I fail to see the distinction.

Particularly when the actual mechanism of raising value for early investors is convincing more to come in based on that narrative, but old investors can only cash out from new ones.
This is just a compilation readme, not a real code project like I thought. dev.to bait
I think it's not fair to require everyone to know English enough to be able to write comments in code.
> a high-speed collision at a very low orbit can trow debris to not-so-low orbit

How so? According to my understanding of orbital mechanics, if an object begins its orbit at a certain altitude, it will return to that altitude exactly one orbit later. While a collision can change the shape of the object's orbit, it can't change the spot of collision - which it will return to every cycle of its orbit.
I take your point, but also don't think that the repackaging of shitty loans into bundles that are somehow magically considered less shitty is happening at that scale anymore. And frankly, ISAs are a lot less shitty than home purchase loans to unemployed people who have near zero likelihood of paying it back unless that home goes up in value. Even if it was happening, there's no incentive towards an upwards price spiral in the code bootcamp space at the current demand levels (and the elasticity curve is very different in scalable bootcamps as compared to housing).

Had the dumb manipulations not happened, loans are actually quite straightforward to value, so I would be shocked if whoever was purchasing the ISAs didn't have at least a "much better than HN" view into what they should properly be worth.
If we weren't using pure utilitarianism what justification could we have for using the force of the law to prevent people from taking medicines they judge will be good for their health?

Very sad story. Two pioneers of voice tech had literally nothing for their hard work.
Google likely only agrees with whatever choice makes them the most money. Whatever decision they make will always be jaded by how they think it will affect their stock price.
The AZ doses that the EU did not receive were from plants based in the EU run by European companies fulfilling AZ production. The UK government even invested £55m over a year ago in one such EU-based plant to bring its capacity up after the Dutch government didn't.
> He was soft spoken and an intellectual. Bernie was by no means perfect. But no man is.

Actually in comparison to Madoff and as someone who hasn't stolen $19 billion dollars I feel relatively perfect. It's funny how someone who might steal something worth a few hundred dollars in an instant are somehow not given the second chances of people like Madoff who was operating a much larger criminal scheme over 15 years.
I randomly came across the OP-1 on Youtube a few months ago and was blown away. Keep in mind that I know next to nothing about music, so I don't know how the OP-1 compares against other tools of its kind. But still, it seemed like an incredibly cool gadget and made me want to experiment with making digital music.
that's a strange thing to say. Sure it's great for in-progress projects to get visibility, but as a ready/user, it will waste my time if I just want something that's ready/usable right now, and end up trying a bunch of unfinished projects.
>STFU with all of the moralizing

Why subsidize an activity that puts health at risk? Sure, people will do what they want, but this just incentivizes people to put themselves at risk and makes everyone else pay for it.
> Would people be happy to wait for days, maybe weeks, for their video to be approved for upload to YouTube?

Well presumably Google being one of the worlds wealthiest corporations could hire and pay people a living wage to match the demand of users looking to upload videos to YouTube. It is in YouTube’s interest as it only exists and makes money on this very user generated content.

Yeah it’s great YouTube exists and can market to content creators about its market capture audience, but maybe it would be a better system without the middleman as anyone can upload a video anywhere on the internet making it instantly viewable by billions

You misread his comment. He's bemoaning wannaba devs creating these readme "projects" not the owners of the actual clone projects that actually do require programming skills.

I agree with him, these readme compilation things are just dev.to bait
Some of the debris will be thrown into eccentric orbits reaching significantly higher altitudes as part of the orbit. If these fragments hit objects in these higher orbits, that will create further debris clouds in more stable high orbits, etc, etc. That way you can get a runaway chain reaction that could escalate to arbitrarily high orbits and debris cloud lifetimes.
JavaScript is fast. The browser is fast. But communication between the browser and javascript is really really slow.

They are written in languages with incompatible memory models, so lots of data must be copied when communication. They are running in different runtimes, so your javascript JIt can not inline function calls into the DOM.

That's why to this day, if you want to render a bunch of html from javascript, it is faster to generate a giant strin g of markup and pass that to the browser in a single 'innerHTML = "foo"' and let the browser parse all that, than it is to call a bunch of "createElement(); setAttribute(); appendChild();" calls.
This is exactly the point. I happen to have a landline which somehow is associated with a demographic profile of a senior citizen. I’ve had this number for over a decade now. The number of scam calls targeting seniors is staggering.

Of the 200-300 spam robocalls I receive every month, about 50-80 are blocked by my cell phone (the landline rings to my cell) and I also subscribe to nomorobo on the landline, which I assume blocks even more. Still, that’s some 200 calls that make it through even with two levels of blocking.

The scams are terrifying- serious sounding people on the line saying your social security number will be cancelled and you will be arrested unless you speak immediately to an officer; Medicare advantage scams; IRS and treasury scammers... and since my personal info is published by the phone company, many times the scammers have all my personal information as “proof”! It’s a sickening information asymmetry that can totally fool an unsuspecting older person who doesn’t entirely understand what’s going on.

If you’re curious about what these scams look like and how vigilantes actively work to combat them, I’d recommend two videos to start: Jim browning at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xvjjpzyiig4 and mark rober at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=VrKW58MS12g.
isnt code generation just smarter copypasta? since there will be no difference in complexity during runtime i feel like it's equivalent, just maybe more powerful

what i mean is that you have complexity in your existing setup too... its just that you understand the ins and outs. and so the same applies to encore.
John McWhorter has argued a few times on the Lexicon Valley podcast that although English has many problems (especially spelling), it's not a terrible lingua franca. Many complexities from other languages do not exist in it.

Obviously, any artificial language is going to be much simpler. But these have never caught on for a variety of reasons.
It isn't really the burden of the statement maker to enunciate his arguments to the nth degree lest suffer the pangs of mob downvotes. At least it shouldn't be, on a decent realm of discourse. If anything, the downvotes just show a low level of informedness of the average HN user.
Sure but the owners of Disneyland don't decide who to execute. Gibson is using a metaphor.

> And you can walk in there and buy it like, say, a bottle of oke?

Yes I can literally walk into a shop near me and buy an influenza vaccination at the same time as a bottle of coke from the same supermarket.

> Not without going through a doctor before hand

No prescription needed, no doctor or nurse involved.

Simple commercial transaction.
This is good advice. I am a member of a Toastmasters group and I remember doing a table topics speech where we needed to pretend that we were an inanimate object and then convey our experience to the audience. I remember feeling really confident and comfortable, because I was not pretending to be a 'good professional communicator' but being more empathetic.
The amount a landlord is likely to lose is more then likely less then on years rent. The renter assumes the risk of one years rent and carries that, albeit diminishing, ever year they sign the lease.
There are multiple issues that could cause the landlord to lose the house, all of which would also impact the renter.
There are multiple issues that could cause the renter to lose their lease, only some of which impact the landlord.

The renter is more likely to carry the financial fallout longer, because they have no assets backing their risk.
How very US
There are tradeoffs here. Of course we allow users to delete their comments, but once a comment has replies, deleting it deprives the replies of their context, which is not fair to the users who replied. We're trying to be fair to everybody, as well as to the community as a whole.

If you delete-edit, you're doing an end run around that, which is not cool, and doing it on a whole bunch of posts is, as I said, vandalism, and something we'd ban an account for.

While I have you: can you please stop posting unsubstantive and/or flamewar comments, especially on inflammatory topics like political or ideological ones? It's not what HN is for, and it really damages what it is for. We're trying for curious conversation here, not smiting enemies.

To end on something positive, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26706409 is a comment you posted that manages to get that right, even though it's on a political/ideological topic. It gives substantive information and omits swipes—that's not easy, but it is simple—and it's the level conversations have to stay at if this place is not to destroy itself.
Collective action is basically the only way Americans can force the three branches of government to do something they don't want to do. A lone actor is screwed; Billionaires excluded.
Why is there forever the assumption that the universe is governed by a simple set of rules? What if the universe is actually an enormous java program with a 10,000 line Utils.java file?

Also this part definitely conjures up a certain series of sci-fi novels popular on HN (and elsewhere):

"So one of the unexpected implications of our models is that there can be dimension fluctuations in our universe. And in fact it seems likely that our universe started essentially infinite-dimensional, only gradually “cooling” to become basically three-dimensional. And though we haven’t yet worked it out, we expect there’ll be a “dimension-changing cosmology” that may well have definite predictions for the observed large-scale structure of our universe."

Dimensional warfare, baby!

Anyway Wolfram gets a lot of hate but honestly I'm glad that some smart dude is using his financially-independent time to go on wild theoretical excursions into what interests him. Living the dream.
That's exactly the point, this issue was known as a problem in 1977 published in Computers Don't Argue, but developed in 2010s as a feature

https://archive.org/details/bestofcreativeco00ahld/page/133/...
I often write both, sometimes just a task, sometimes a story, sometimes I'll only include a sketch. The claim that User Stories are "dead" or an "anti-pattern" is silly. What's an anti-pattern is to claim that your communication method works best for all projects, teams, contexts and times.

In my experience, for new teams the more detail the better. For these teams I often write both. They need the additional information and it helps them get in the head of the customer. Sometimes for well gelled teams switching to a new context I'll do this. Or, sometimes for well gelled teams working on a problem space where there's alot of nuance in the solution, or maybe it's a departure from the norm and there's a good reason, I'll write both. Sometimes I'll be in planning and realize that the team is missing the picture and I'll write a user story on the spot and things will click.

For teams working on a space they know well sometimes just a description of the issue is enough. They know how to fix it and why. I dont need to waste my time or theirs writing contrived examples. They probably dont need a task to tell them what to do. They can figure it out.

Also, this is BS:

1)Customers are tech-savvy enough to articulate basic product requirements.
-- Some (few) customers are savvy enough to communicate basic requirements but I've rarely met a customer who can articulate edge cases and considers their needs in context of the system- either technically, economically, or socially. Part of the value of a user story is the abstraction.

2)We’ve developed standards for common features such as shopping carts, todo lists, and notifications so there is no need to explain how they should work.

-- No we haven't! Go checkout at 5 different stores and tell me how many are using an identical cart. Even stores that use identical cart providers have widely varying carts because business and user needs are different and everyone is playing with their own ways to optimize conversion. I think it might be difficult to find a better example of something that's not fully standardized than a cart.

3)The best product and engineering teams understand their users deeply and are familiar with how their product should work.

-- "Best" is operative here... the best teams I've worked with like user stories because they frame the requirements in the context of the user instead of assuming the PM/PdM/Whoever has the "correct" solution.
Ha!

Blending of conflicting ideologies implies compromise or trade-off, which would be a popular front.

In a united front, the groups do not merge or compromise. Ideologies and ultimate intentions remain pure, and the groups only collaborate in the name of overlapping interests.
Ubuntu Desktop has zfs rollback in GRUB for several releases now for root on zfs installs. The only problem is the boot pool will eventually be full after several upgrades :(
