Turns out that systematic brinkmanship against your neighbours will generate ill-will. Who would have thought…?

Sadly, this is what “the people” want. A steady diet of tabloid nationalism for decades is finally bearing fruit. Things will get uglier before they get better.
Not really COVID related where I live. More or less the smaller the shop, the larger the chance they will bag your groceries. Large ones always have a conveyor belt from which they slide items on the other side where you can pick it up and bag yourself. I think the change mostly came when it has become illegal to give away bags. Since now you have to pay for them, a lot of people bring their own.
Tokyo got nearly 30 seconds warning for the Fukushima earthquake. I have no idea how well Washington's system works, but I would imagine that someday it'll be as good as Japan's was in 2011
That’s a fine sentiment and all, but if you are looking for a logical response from most people in that situation, you’re gonna have a bad time.
I don't think the coverage metric is necessarily wrong to highlight error return branches: they are program logic you typed, and might have mistyped. I certainly have mistyped them. Checked the wrong error value, or returned a different error from the one I checked. You get to skip tests for default exception handling behavior in e.g. Java because you know the language is going to do; there's no opportunity for human error.

It is possible to have company policies against abstraction and cleverness when working in more expressive languages, and this would achieve almost the same intent as Go, it's just that actually using Go is more convenient. The language is corporate bureaucracy. The whole point is what's not there. What can't go off in a weird directions on a per-project basis. What junior engineers in a high-turnover environment can't screw up. It's not by accident that the native toolchain will give you a test coverage report with untested error return branches in red. Google is just happy to pay people for that drudgery, I guess.

The number of people you need vaccinated is N where N * (vaccine efficiency) = (herd immunity threshold = ~ 70%), so in the case of the higher efficiency vaccines N should be between 75% and 85%

Though anything above (efficiency * vaccinated) above 50% should make a significant dent on the pandemic

It could also be the degenerate case of something good. E.g. feeling withdrawn and unmotivated can be good sometimes - it can tell you something is wrong. Depression is like an extreme version of that. Maybe its the brain taking things too far and getting stuck in a bad state or something.

I dont know, IANAD, but it sounds mildly plausible.

I suffered from undiagnosed low testosterone due to a concussion for many years. I was definitely more irritable/emotional. I wouldn’t say I had more rage/aggression, but that’s just not very like me.

On testosterone I’m definitely more motivated. Hell, one time when my estrogen went too high I had an intense craving for chocolate.
I'll just repeat my previous comment because I actually feel this is important: I've gotten absolutely zero enjoyment from the few that I've watched. They make me feel completely sick and scared for myself and my family and I think about how incomprehensibly horrible it must be to live through these events, either as someone who died or someone who watched or knew the person who died. However, I am much more careful with my daughter and prone to take precautions after having watch them. I think they provide value, I absolutely do not get the same effect from reading or learning about bad things that can happen to me, my brain just never really considered it a real option until I saw it happen. And yes, I probably have PTSD from them, but I am not a careful person naturally so I feel they have probably had a positive effect on me and made my family safer because of that.
At least in the first example I looked at (linked in the article) "Aimless Bullet" had English subtitles.
There was a period in PayPal's early history where there was no support. Nobody checking email, no support tickets, no phone number. They took the phones in their office off the hook after customers start figuring out their numbers. They hired security once customers started showing up in person. This was the period when they were growing exponentially, too fast for their staff to keep up with the support needs, but before their first inbound call center was up and running.
You still are focused on one context only. Maybe if you have dyslexia and have to focus on the writing.
I never came away thinking these things after reading those essays.

The novel insights he presents in these essays deal with the West's ability to structure the narrative - via mass-media - of the Gulf War, resulting in the very real and senseless violence that occurred. All the while for the citizens of those Western nations though, none of the "Vietnam effect" was witnessed.

In a sense, your post proves his point quite adeptly, because you immediately made reference to Saddam's invasion of Kuwait, insinuating that the West had some sort of obligation to act with further terror & violence. The Gulf War was not Saddam's act of turning Kuwait into literally hell [0], but rather the West's shameful leveraging of mass media to conduct abhorrent uses of overwhelming technological force to destroy an entire region of the world.

Since this war began and ended, the US has "conquered" five or so states in the Middle East-North Africa region. Should somebody have rightfully stepped in and stopped us from engaging in these conquests?

It's fascinating to see how the sausage is made. It gives the most important datapoint before you can preach your higher ideals.

It's different if you seen a war(even if it's a liveleak video), it keeps your feet on the ground when you have to decide to cast a pro/anti war vote or argue about it's merits.

That's what worries me about our sterilised internet: Things happen, but we are not allowed to peak under the cover to see what actually happen. Unless it’s something nice, it must be limited to the commentary of people who themselves may never seen how it is made or even worse, having their own agenda.

Sure, gore can brutalise people but if it's happening everyone deserves to see it.

Much more people used to claim that the Covid-19 is just the flu, until the footage of hospital corridors emerged.
Hard to argue this wasn't precipitated by Instagram's Cinder - nice to see it smoking others out already.
Apple's user experience around the Apple ID/iCloud auth is absolutely terrible and inconsistent. Even on a Mac that's successfully logged into iCloud and thus has the necessary credentials, interacting with Apple Music, the App Store or even system updates will pretty much always prompt for a password and not be able to use biometrics, despite Safari allowing you to use biometrics to log into iCloud on the web.
After graduation, I spent 3 months job searching then joined a small agency run by my father's friend.

To note, I had an engineering degree from one of the best universities on this side of the world. So it's probably more an issue with the job market and hiring processes, rather than your qualifications.

Even with years of experience under my belt, it takes months to switch jobs. I've built more apps than entire agencies have. My side projects have more users than the people who hire me. I don't believe having an extra project or certification helps.

I think it's all people skills. I've had literally only one job that I "cold" applied to from a job site. All of the others were from people I know and people who worked with me.
I got it as well. Can't remember if I ever gave Google any birthdate but, no matter, another fake birthdate works fine.
Looking at your previous comments, it seems you like to throw out this stat and other... less than factual statements, then never back up your comments or engage in the conversation. You are trolling or misguided.
Hardly - rather that we normalize to whatever is going on in our environment, perceiving risk, danger, ok or not ok, etc. in a relative sense not an absolute one (minus adaptation time).

There is decently solid evidence too that where someone lands on the distribution for a given environment is mostly set at an early age, often with a strong genetic component.
I'm not proud of this but the one lifehack I always use when I'm required to call in to cancel even though a service has a live (human) chat on their site - I tell them I'm deaf. I'm not and I feel weird using this tactic, as though I'm appropriating deafness, but damn does it work. It's never once failed me.
A company that I worked for got acquired by a vastly larger company, who is in turn owned by an even larger company.

When it was announced we were being acquired, one of the first questions was "What are the retention bonuses".

"We don't plan to have any retention bonuses" is the answer that came back from the new owners.

A few months later I'm talking to a VP of something-or-other in the acquiring organisation who's commenting "Yes, we've noticed you're having a lot of people departing. Company X who we acquired a few years ago had the same thing, we're not sure why".

This was while being told "nothing will change for you", to be immediately followed by "We're getting rid of X and Y and Z and changing work flexibility policies."
There's definitely a balance. I shared an office with one other guy before the pandemic. It was great being able to go, "Hey fred, are you busy? you seen something like this before?" and instantly have the coworker fix some super specific issue they faced before related to our setup that would have taken an afternoon or more stringing together the right generic stackoverflow questions.

Now I have to find time in our day loaded with zoom meetings with other people with just as convoluted zoom meeting schedules to zoom with Fred for ten minutes. We might not find a good mutual time to meet until next week.

Scheduling zoom calls vs. leaning back in your chair when your coworker has a second is an entirely different animal when it comes to workplace efficiency. I'd say I'm spending a lot more of my working time scratching my head than getting things done vs. before the pandemic.

There are good things about working from home, but this is probably one of the worst parts in terms of work. It's like studying alone in your cramped bedroom vs in the library with your buddies in college.
It's not luck. My parents busted their ass off to get out of the country.

Same as our cleaner. She illegally immigrated into Mexico first, but realized how racist Mexicans were against Central Americans, so she decided to work her way so that she could get into the US. This isn't luck, it's hard work. She didn't accidentally find herself in the US.
> It sounds like you just don't really like sports/esports.

It's not that exactly. There is much that can be learned from the world's best players training together and performing together against an opponent that does the same. It's just the format is unwatchable. I do find watching sports on TV similarly impossible, whereas watching them in person is much more enjoyable.

I mostly watch streams. I don't think solo queue is as interesting a game as full teams playing multiple games together, but you do get to hear one player's thought process, which is always enjoyable. That is probably incompatible with true competition, but is entertaining.

I think someone decided what esports should be, and everyone else just copied that, but we haven't actually hit the global maximum for the format quite yet. What's strange is that we often take steps backwards. There was one season when you got the ability to select your own camera angles and chat in a members-only chat, and that was the season that I enjoyed the most. Chatted with the regulars in there, got to watch whatever player I personally felt was most interesting to watch (usually Jjonak fragging people as Zen), etc. Then they removed that, as well as the ability to pay them extra for the privilege. Strange decision!

> The viewing experience for Overwatch is terrible. There's too much going on, and if you're not actively involved (playing), it's just awful. Colors and lights everywhere, weird sounds, orbs flying all around etc. I think Overwatch is kind of a failure in that regard as well.

I hear that a lot, but don't really have a problem with it myself. The thing that gets me whether I'm playing or not is when people use an ultimate at some range outside your current camera position, and it's totally silent and you have no way of knowing that they used it. There was a time when ults were map global sounds, and that got patched out for no apparent reason, and it's never really been discussed as a problem. But I think it's weird to play around a Zarya with grav when she just used it to kill some Wrecking Ball over in Narnia. Why punish players that are tracking ults? Never made sense to me.

Privacy.com doesn't believe anyone would want their service if they have a land-line, and not a mobile. "Give us your phone number", okay, "we sent a confirmation SMS" ... hahahahaha.

Yes you can probably dodge that by going with a SMS enabled VoIP provider.
They're automatically machine-captioned in English (and others) on YouTube -- I tried one, the captions seem exceptional... they do speak very clearly in this particular movie, so that probably helps.

edit: it seems only one set of korean captions are machine-generated, the rest are human-made? Neat.
Sorry. But I do really find this persons plans highly coercive and abusive. I dont just disagree, I in fact find it abusive and threat.

And it is also true that such setup would make women super vulnerable for rape or sexual abuse and then forced them to marry their rapists. That is exactly how it worked in the past and how it still works in some radical Christian circles.

It would also create environment in which domestic violence would flourish as women were unable to leave as partner starts the abusing.

The whole plan, in multiple comments, is about creating coercive setup that don't care about violence it puts people at risk for.

In the case of depression and anxiety, at least in the view of CBT, there is always some sort of cognitive distortion at play. In other words, if the mental anguish originates from having taken a distorted view of the world, it wouldn't tell us anything if the world was an OK place or not to begin with.
I did indeed. The only headline I had seen here on HN was about ~~Coin~~Basecamp and I have been thoroughly reprimanded. It really adds new perspective to Basecamp's announcement though because I thought some of their changes seemed unrelated or out of proportion to the "Best Names" list.
Same here. I believe watching that video (with follow up discussion about what happened) should be mandatory for getting your driving license.

I remember that was also the plot of the movie melancholia. It does seem potentially plausible. Plenty of other traits exist that are terrible in normal times but key to survive abnormal times.

Newsletter and podcasting are very long-term oriented. Most successful people in those spaces need several years until they "make it".

I would propose something where you get beta users quickly and get feedback from them. Nothing motivates more than people using what you are building and interacting with you.
> You get to skip tests for default exception handling behavior in e.g. Java because you know the language is going to do; there's no opportunity for human error.

I fundamentally disagree with that. the only thing you know in java is that it throws an exception that's maybe caught somewhere. That's an untested branch aswell.

What a bunch of nonsense that is.
I made some absurd down right morally incorrect things on there. For my own entertainment just to see how far things could go. Privately. Not for some pleasure, just curiosity. It's an AI imagining things. If you realize things are just concepts in the world and nothing really matters then you could have fun with this, it's weird. But once I started doing that I just rolled my own locally because I knew this kind of thing was going to happen with their website. Last thing I wanted was any of that getting leaked taken out of context and then connected to me. Private things should stay private and should not get fed back into the system. That's just silly and bad.
I might be weird or something but it's just neat to go along with a story in this and then all of a sudden your character just loses all touch with reality and just does all of the incorrect things to literally everyone they come in contact with. Because for some reason the AI likes to forget that someone's body was just completely devastated in some horrifying way and then it makes them get up and talk to you again like nothing just happened. It's just absurd.
> Circular saws, mitre saws are sold with protective elements where I live. To respect, but it won't jump out and hurt you.

That's true but they're not sufficient to protect against all injuries if you don't take proper precautions. And, as far as circular saws go, you're flat out wrong about them not jumping and hurting you: if they bind up in the wood that's exactly what can happen in the worst case. It's called kickback.
Its a colloquialism for destroyed. Would you object if he said "utterly destroyed" instead? It means the same thing.

Maybe you think its inappropriately informal, but that is a stylistic concern, not a science concern.
In my experience, you have to set the threshold at 100%. But then it will rarely find anything. It is not essential in CI like pyflakes.
It’s pointing out that while objectively different, subjectively it’s often the same emotional weight - as counter intuitive as it may be - especially for those that don’t have prior experience or calibration in the objectively more serious environment.

In my experience (as someone who grew up with extensive food insecurity, parents who barely kept the family afloat, etc.), it’s hard NOT to have the bar shift too if you end up in a cushier place later. The promo can feel as bad as it used to feel not knowing where food was coming from, even if objectively that is ridiculous.

We’re very adaptable even if sometimes weirdly so.

People would still have plenty of unmet needs if the basic physiological and safety needs in Maslow's hierarchy are met. What kind of straw man are you trying to argue here? If anything, having those needs met makes it easier -- nay, possible -- to "grind" toward needs at upper levels of the heirarchy (not that I accept your contention that humans were "evolved" to "grind").

Who says the increase in depression is "recent?" The article itself mentions the strong upward trend since 1990. You know 1990 is 30 years ago now, right? (Not trying to be condescending here -- I genuinely forget this myself sometime.)
Daily reminder that the future is decentralized. Also content like liveleak videos is a good mark that some platform is decentralized. If there's no content like this then it's centralized, controlled by somebody.
> got so frustrated at being ignored by the employees, despite already knowing what I wanted and I just needed someone to fetch it from the back

This has happened to me repeatedly at Apple stores in NYC, any time I've tried to purchase a phone or laptop. It's an extremely frustrating experience, especially for a relatively large purchase. I'd happily wait in a line, just give me some form of ordered queue please. Deli counters can handle this, so why can't a $2 trillion company?
I think that's false because even under Sharia driven tribes children under 14 are exempt of any punishment.
At least the most severe ones.

Just think about it: if every child had those punishments deserved to adult people, they would be extinct in years. Even the most phanatic Mullah is not that idiot.
