> They do? Like what do you think they swipe left/right based on? It is another very apparent feature..

No it would be heavily criticized to filter based on that, and it often is not that apparent. Men would not be able to ask for it even if they wanted to know. There is also no weight option, which men would like. All of this is because women control the market.

> Where? Do you think a Muslim women would prefer a white men over another Muslim? An Indian women (living in India) a white one over another Indian?

In the US, and yeah all women pretty much prefer white men. White men are heavily preferred in india.

> Maybe you just don't consider those things misogynistic, because frankly you do sound like one..

Because you consider me pointing out how racist/sexist women can be as misogynistic. It's an easy way to avoid the issues I bring up.

> I doubt asian women date white men over other asian ones, but stereotypically asian people can be very racist, except for white people, I agree with you on that.

Asian women raised in the US often strongly prefer white men, you rarely see it the other way around.

> For daring to prefer someone with the same skin color as themselves?

For the societal biases and helping to fix them. You're clearly a complete racist, that is practically the definition of racism. Why would you word it like that unless your a psychopath? Also it's not about skin color, it's about race. Again I even mentioned how women admit to finding ethnic men attractive but still won't date them. Women will even ask for ethnic background for ambiguous looking people and unmatch based on that. This is not comparable to sexual orientation, it's very much about societal issues and you know it. You are disgusting. You fight so much for women's issues but don't care at all about fixing problems like these.
I wonder if they would have ignored you still if you politely asked for help. Otherwise, I can understand your frustration.

That's not what GP is saying. His disputing the claim that WWI was the first industrialized total war. Total war is not the same as a world war. Total war is the idea of committing your entire nation to war (economy, population, etc) instead of just the military. His argument that the American Civil War is the first industrialized total war is not novel nor unfounded. It's a position taken by more than a few military historians. Sherman's strategy of destroying the Southern economy is indeed something that was new and would come to characterize many wars in the industrial era and after, including WWI and WWII. Before WWI, there was the Franco-Prussian war and many American Civil War veterans served as advisors to the Prussian army, teaching them the ways of total war, such as shelling Paris, etc.
I'm guessing microsoft considers the few % of web devs who work on linux and care about edge compatibility somewhat of a priority.... There are literally dozens of them!
People are not so immune to propaganda campaigns. Yes, I believe many are stupid. I also believe they should be allowed to judge for themselves. Not everything is worth considering or even being exposed to though. Part of knowing is being aware of who the messenger is.

In any case I'll ask again. What were these lies from Democrats? I'm aware of very few lies about voting, voting mechanics, and the validity of the 2016 vote.

Looking back in fact I see Trump at that time too claiming voter fraud before the election. He claimed to have won the popular vote after due to illegal voters. Yet he did very little in power to affect these issues then claimed so again.
And what if there is a bug in their payment checking system and it incorrectly indicates that the vest is functional?

Agreed. I love Rust for my personal projects, but I wouldn’t trust colleagues with it at any place I’ve worked. And it’s not that my colleagues aren’t intelligent or capable, but that Rust’s expressiveness invites bineshedding on the right amount of abstraction or which crate to use or the right way to do errors or how to configure rustfmt or when to just give up a fight with the borrow checker and use clone() or etc.

Rust is a really, really cool language—perhaps my favorite language, but I’ve worked in C++ shops and Python shops and I fully expect the same amount of bike shedding at a Rust shop.
But then I'd have to give the password to anyone I wanted to receive files. I want to be able to send files to people but not have them be able to send to others.

Maybe adding HTTP basic auth is fine, as I mainly want to keep random bots from finding the service. I'll try that, thanks!
Perhaps it would be appropriate on that basis but I am not American and have not seen a World Series so did not see the connection. I also did not claim the American civil war was any sort of “world” conflict; I clearly was speaking of the bbc’s myopic claim that it should be considered the first industrialized conflict.

> it's probably impossible to market a product like this well.

At the right price, with 100% uptime, motorcycle airbags would be a monster hit product. I say that with confidence because as a motorcycle rider who is aware of the stats which tell me we risk death and serious injury 8X more than car drivers.

I want a motorcycle airbag - at the right price and conditions.

Who doesn't?

And why don't they exist?

What would be the cost to manufacture them at the rate of 500 million a year? That's the global market potential.

p.s. Do motorcycle airbags actually work to significantly prevent injury and death? If the answer is that they aren't particularly efficacious anyway, even when ideally implemented, I can understand why they scarcely exist in the market.
I love that nothing has changed since cs 1.6
Total world Be resource is estimated to be 100,000 tons, although that's likely an underestimate. Still, the MSRE (a 7.4MW(th) reactor) used about a ton of beryllium in the fuel and secondary coolant salts. The world would need several million times the thermal power output of the MSRE to replace fossil fuels.

The ARC fusion reactor concept would require even more Be per MW(th) of output.
Linux famously removed the sysctl syscall (the original, BSD-derived syscall version of /proc). It was justified because distros had already removed it. The removal was a huge API breakage and even broke security sensitive software, like Tor, for countless deployed systems. But because the distros removed it first (RedHat, specifically), Linus got to claim that "nobody was using it" and was shielded from the fallout.

Otherwise, both the kernel and glibc regularly break things accidentally. You rarely hear about it, though, because its the nature of software development that the areas most likely to be broken are those where people rarely lurk. glibc makes at least as much effort as Linux in terms of supporting backward compatibility, but glibc's job is in some ways much more difficult, and they have far fewer contributors to help out. There's no shortage of bugs in glibc, and I have plenty of my own gripes, but by the standards of the industry (particularly of FOSS), they do an outstanding job of maintaining ABI compatibility.

Once upon a time people would claim that glibc's efforts were feeble as compared to proprietary OSs like Solaris, AIX, or Windows. But these days those backward compat stories are far more complex and less pristine, and glibc has well over a decade (or two decades?) of using ELF symbol versioning to maintain compat.

* hemorrhaging their loss of world class talent*

This is just never going to happen. Only the tiniest most vocal percentage of people will act against their own self interest, in the benefit of society. Asking that of people will only ever backfire.

I think people are just taking out their aggressions on individuals. Individuals who they don't know, and who may have special circumstances. Or who might be doing good from within.

It's analogous to (though not as extreme as) railing on individual soldiers for the crimes of the military. It's mean, thoughtless, immature, and perhaps most importantly to you it's ineffective.

Edit: as a single data point... I work at Google. I'm just a regular person who wants respectable pay and a good work environment. I don't work on ads, and I'm not really convinced of whether Google as a whole is bad for the world. I'm interested in the arguments... they just don't seem very convincing to me. The vitriol seems way out of proportion compared to any harm from Google. I especially don't understand singling out Google, compared to other areas where harm seems a lot more egregious.

I also don't understand why people lump Google and Facebook together. They're incredibly different companies. I wouldn't work at Facebook unless I really had to, because it's obvious and clear how Facebook has been a disaster for society. The arguments against Google aren't nearly as strong or convincing.

I'm also not rich, despite being at Google for a number of years, and if I didn't work for Google my family and I would be forced to move.
I had a smart coworker at one point, most of the time I asked for help with something, he would say that he did not know the answer.

Now I'm positive that he was doing the same thing as you describe.

The effect on me was a reduced interaction with that person, I'd much rather have an honest answer or a "I don't have time" answer.
Same reason you didn't read the guidelines.

Home Automation with ESP8266 WiFi Without Using Blynk
This is the same error the CDC & FDA made in the early stages of COVID, insisting on fussy rationed tests based on hand-wavy ideas about public misinterpretation. That error likely contributed to hundreds of thousands of preventable deaths by hiding initial community spread for a month or more.

Mass testing, even testing that's mostly at a stage unlikely to detect anything, and only occasionally on less-typical older animals, will provide new useful info. Waiting to test until an a old symptomatic cow "most likely to have the disease" shows up is closing the barn door after the mad cows have already escaped.

The USDA's logic is dangerous like the bureaucratic rationing of COVID tests, early on. At crucial times in early 2020, no matter how suspicious a case/death, and how well it fit COVID symptoms, if the patient hadn't returned from Wuhan in the last few weeks, a test was prohibited. That's a "we don't want to know" policy.

Basic monthly SaaS subscriptions charged automatically to a credit card

Even that's no simple anymore.

If you're in the EU, there's new laws around subscriptions, so you have to be able to handle a customer being forced to renew their subscription by re-inputting their security code.

So now Stripe (not their fault really) has a ridiculously complicated paymentintent pathway that's worse than paypal, forcing you to send users to their site, plus you have to write a whole pathway for if a subscription gets flagged for renewal.

Is there any safety equipment that leaves the manufacturer legally liable if the end user doesn't set up and activate the equipment properly? Is Honda responsible if my seatbelt doesn't work, because I didn't put it on?

It's not like this airbag is a passive, always-ready device. You can't even just put it on and expect it to work. You need to actually turn it on too, and have the batteries charged. And if you turn it on and it says "NOT ACTIVE" or something like that, would anyone believe that the airbag was going to work?
Hehehe. Wrong move :-) Should have used something with either a chip from Cologne Chip Design, or the other big asian player whose name I can't remember at the moment.

That's all very well and good for your friendly neighbourhood forum. But facebook is not a small forum, it's a massive chunk of the internet. I'm not at all confortable with gigantic tech benemoths with more power than many nation-states being able to dictate what is acceptable or not. At this point they're so big that they absolutely need democratic oversight.

They reap fabulous rewards for their scale and dominance. They should also pay the prices for that scale.
> Really? I see a low hanging fruit opportunity to get rich: manufacture and sell the same motorcycle vest and sell it at an upfront cost equal to some approximate amortization of monthly payments over some average LTV.

The same company sells the same vest for twice the price without the subscription.

However, that doesn't help the people who bought a vest that locks them out of necessary safety features, nor does it help the rest of the market when a business poisons the well like this.

Also, they can share the inverter(s).
Any kind of grafted on service should be rejected. If a safety device requires an internet connection to work at all it should not pass first base but be rejected outright. After all, it might be some other bug or issue that causes you to lose your life or health.
> I gave a counter argument - for many universities this did actually work.

What you assert as proof that "it worked" was, if I understood your "30%!" correctly, an increase in equality of outcome.

How does this square with your claim to favour equality of opportunity, not outcome? Doesn't it show that what worked was what you claim not to favour; why would you crow about that?
This is the first I have heard of this company, but I really like the concept. I'm not surprised that the "better" news sources are generally smaller publications. I'd be really interested to see this extended to e.g. substack to pick out informative and balanced articles on topics. At the same time, I'm curious about the basis for the assessments. I wouldn't want just another google or Facebook telling me what I should believe. The proof would be in what kinds of articles they surface I guess.
If you offer someone with the expectation they can't say no, that is in fact predatory. Many of these people have been loongg without work, I doubt they didn't expect people to bite thinking this is their big Hollywood break.

I can offer a bum $1000 to stab a guy for YouTube, but if he happens to say no and walks away, that's not predatory? I know it's a stretch, but that is the core argument you are making
Agreed. It's a neat site, though! There has been some variation in weapon use in recent years, but I don't know if this site would have really helped in revealing those details.

There was that whole period last year where people discovered the SG and AUG were actually quite good, and then Valve nerfed them into the ground again.

Several years ago, the UMP was insanely accurate when tapping/bursting, and it was a great half buy and anti-eco gun. That got nerfed, too. The MP5 behaves somewhat similarly, but it's not really worth buying over the MP9 in a serious match.

There was a recent discovery with the Nova, where the first shot spray was found to be consistent, and you could hit headshots consistently from distance by aiming to the right of the head. That one's pretty fun, although the situations where you'd want that over a deagle seem niche.

I think the biggest missing with this site is that it's only comparing raw DPS/rate of fire numbers and not spread recovery. A big part of it is the "feel" of bursting/tapping guns while momentum cancelling, when in scenarios where you can't full spray.

eg. Clicking on the head with a P250 at medium range isn't super accurate, but if you manage to momentum cancel perfectly and trace, you actually have a pretty decent chance vs full armor. But I could also buy a five seven, which has better armor pen, accuracy, and sprays better.
Not really true from the times I remember, because heavily subsidised.
While Fortnite is one of the bigger games doing it, I don't think it's unique to Fortnite. Many games have seasons and constantly updating content. That's the bigger takeaway, not that Fortnite is successful with it.

Players will no longer stick around a year or more for new content. Back in the days when there was a dozen different games, maybe, but nowadays there's so much other content out there, why would someone play Overwatch for 4 years straight?
And even then, something perfectly round is the worst boat design I can imagine. You're going to be spinning constantly. Does anybody really want to be stuck in a ball with barf all over the walls?

You're spot on with people being where they shouldn't be. That's 99% of natural disasters.

I wonder where the trade-off is for loop unrolling.

Like, unrolling a `for` loop that only has 5 iterations makes sense. But if you have 100 iterations, then the larger memory footprint of all the code might actually make it slower than just keeping the `for` loop.

Successful landing! There was fire at the base of the vehicle which seems to be extinguished now according to the NASASpaceflight stream, so hopefully it will not meet the same fate as SN10 which exploded 10 minutes after langing.

Oh, I understand the concept. It's broken. If I am "consenting", but not to the action that's actually happening, I am not, in fact, consenting. If I believe that I am consenting to sex with someone that's not my husband, in that moment I am not consenting to sex with my husband. If they then have sex with me, knowing that that is my state of mind, that is non-consensual.
Ask HN: What steps would you take to get a tech job with no experience?
Hello HN!

I've worked in medicine the last 4 or 5 years but with COVID and more importantly its second/third order effects on healthcare, I've been considering making a change.

That being said, I have no professional experience in tech. I'm fairly well self taught, know a few different programming languages, git, how to use linux, etc. But, I have no "professional" qualifications.

So, my question is two fold:

- For anyone who is a hiring manager, what would make you consider a candidate with no experience and a degree that is not tech related?

- For anyone who has made this sort of switch, what did you do to become a better candidate & get a job?

I've always considered the last Roman vs Persian war the first world war. It lasted nearly 30 years, saw action, territory changes, and troop movements from Western Europe, through Africa, and the Middle East.

At the onset the Eastern Romans still held onto small portions of Western Europe all the way to Syria and Egypt, meanwhile Sassanid Persia stretched all the way to modern Afghanistan. By the end of the war, both states had their demographics depleted from war, changing the world forever and allowing for the rise of Islam.

You had the formation of coalitions led by the "super" powers of the time, with the Romans having Armenians, the Turkic Khanate, and a subset of Arabian nomads in their corner, while another set of Arabians, the Avars, and the Slavs were with the Persians. All the meanwhile you had opportunistic factors like the Visigoths in Spain.

There was even a civil war on the Roman side during all of this.

Anyways I find this part of history super interesting and it would make Game of Thrones look like child's play.

So much spin to unpack in that statement.

Aren't containers a hack to prevent issues in libc and shared libs from impacting application deployment?

Guest kernels are already "the application", unikernels remove overhead, everything else is basically the same abstraction applied to itself.
Really?

I don't know if the statement is backed up by science, but its a falsifiable empirical prediction. It is entirely within the realm of science to make predictions that certain geographic regions will have significant structural and human damage in the event of some hypothetical natural disaster.
