He is using Bear, you can find on youtube how he creates those notes.
As of covid stimulus package 1, the bear market is a thing of the past. When the POTUS is your Fed chairman, you will never have another bear market. Hyperinflation, possible, but bear market, no. (yahoo link since bloomberg is paywall)

"This scheme essentially merges the Fed and Treasury into one organization. So, meet your new Fed chairman, Donald J. Trump."
You are right and things can revert backward very fast.
Given the technical nature of the puzzles/adventures, I guess that if there's something we could all agree on is that the message about why javascript is required could be a bit more nuanced. Beyond that, sure, it could be done without javascript, but it's easy to see how it helps using javascript. It's a pretty fair use-case.
Think of it more like this: A QA engineer finds a bug. You spend a bunch of time diagnosing and fixing the bug. But it turns out that no user actually hit that bug because they never used that feature, and in fact that feature gets taken out in the next release.

That's a lot of wasted time. Time better spent having the QA engineer only look at bugs reported by users and not looking for them on their own.

In the case of the mammogram, it's even less clear cut. The mammogram only shows spots. A biopsy is necessary to determine if it's cancer. A biopsy is surgery and could have complications. And could in fact make the problem worse.

So the idea is that you only do the test if you actually have symptoms or a family history of breast cancer, until the risk level gets high enough that it warrants going to look for cancer without symptoms.
what? Competing with free money isn't like that. Would you say paying double the free money but also take up half of people's time, plus other hassles they have to put up with, is a good deal?
I wish the <progress> tag receuves some love, from both users and browsers.

I recently worked on a page (e.g https://php.watch/rfcs/fibers) that I didn't want to set inline CSS to set a dynamic width for an element. Helps me not use a strict CSP.

I kind of abused the progress element because it has customizable width. Elements that support a width attribute (object, iframe, image, etc) didn't fit that well. Progress elements are pretty nice, supported almost everywhere it mattered to my audience, and with some pseudo properties I never heard before, I could customize the colors and other properties as well.
Honestly, this sounds terrible. If there is something the software world does not need then it's landing pages for vaporware.
Tokyo is already pretty well on the map.

Conversely, Nagano hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics, but it really isn't.

Sapporo is somewhere between the two: pre-COVID, it was really taking off as arguably Asia's premier ski destination, but it's hard to credit the 1972 Winter Olympics almost 50 years ago for too much of this.
Yeah but it only remembers for each emoji - when there's hundreds* of the little buggers, it's annoying to have to change them individually. I'd like it to remember that I've changed, say, 5 of them to $COLOUR and offer to set the rest to the same as a default.
Perhaps I’m missing something, but don’t longitude and latitude already solve this problem? They are extremely accurate, and don’t require a specific app.
well, SMGs are very used today in the competitive scene. 2nd round winning side is usually the time to buy those SMGs, the opponent will probably have an eco round and the added kill bonus given by those weapons are very useful to build up the team economy.
Also the autoshotgun has some use, usually CT side in maps like Nuke (A site) where there are choke points and a CT can spam the weapon against a T rushing inside the bomb site
* headsmack * Of course! It all makes sense now! These people are fundamentally lazy and need to get off the public teat. They need a "dad" to kick them in their lazy ass to start contributing something for a change instead of being parasites on society! How silly of me. Thanks for explaining.

what I'm trying to say (poorly), is we better get used to news like this. Scotland wants a referendum and Ireland's resurfacing troubles may (hopefully/finally) lead to a united island of Ireland. All of which is bad news for the Tans but great for Scotland & Ireland.

The invisible hand of the market has selected the most profitable solution: a combination of PR and donating to politicians.

Why raise wages if you can force people to choose between starvation and working two jobs until they break of old age or die of a very likely preventable disease that they could not afford to diagnose and/or treat?

A minimum wage is below housing wage in every single state in US. https://www.businessinsider.com/minimum-wage-worker-cant-aff...
1000s of children die everyday due to diarrhoea caused by unclean water. About a 1 000 000 die every year from malaria mostly children. Just to name a few things.

If you can't afford to pay more than $7,50 per hour, then the market has spoken: you have no working business model.
Lovely how an article about lumber in the US opens with a stock photo of a German lorry. Must've taken a wrong turn somewhere.

The difference is that religion is something you choose, whereas ethnicity is not.

I can choose to be a Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic, or any other religion. I can't choose to be black or white, or Asian or European.

Criticising people for their ethnicity is essentially always wrong. There is very little – if any – nuance that applies here.

Criticising religion is a lot more nuanced though; for example I don't think it's especially controversial to criticise Matthew 25, where Jesus says that "A woman a should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet."

I don't think it's especially controversial to criticise Christians who believe this either (many don't, but some do).

It gets a bit more murky if you start criticising the entire religion on the whole for containing this sort of stuff. Personally I feel that's unfair, but I don't think it's "hateful" either as it's still criticising ideas rather than people.

And it's of course bad if you start criticising people on only being adherents to a religion, without any nuance or recognition of the many different interpretations. But even then, you're still disliking people for ideas they hold and are free to choose, rather than attributes beyond their control. So while still bad, I'd consider it "less bad".
Of course it is, particularly if (as is likely), the unemployment benefits aren't enough to get by on.

Having all the free time in the world is no use if you still can't afford to eat or put a roof over your family.
I'm in a similar situation in Australia with roughly the same monetary benefits from Centrelink. An extended summer break really is what it feels like. Honestly, I don't even miss the money I used to make and my mental health has improved so dramatically that going back to work just to make the same amount (with the jobs that are currently available here) just seems absolutely crazy.

It is very hard though when everyone else around you acts as though being on government assistance makes you some kind of a useless, good for nothing leech who doesn't even deserve to have food or a roof over their head.

I've no idea who approved that pos. It actually makes it harder to discuss anything on what's supposed to be online forums. That translates to lost revenue, imo. Even Imgur comments are easier.

Those progression steps happened with each vendor? A vendor started with massive wine, and ended with coffee in the last meeting? (As you might notice, I don't know that much about sales)

(Rather than just one sales meeting with each vendor, and you observed a trend across many vendors)

From massive wine and dine, to coffee, made me smile :-)

I'm surprised that wine and dine apparently works (with many people but not you). To me it honestly sounds a bit boring and I'd rather go to the gym maybe. And even if the food and company was really nice, it'd be just a one time thing (or a few times) but the contract would be ongoing for years
> Not many people want to get a job

How can one reconcile your hypothesis with the recent employment statistics: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/210409/dq210...

There is a clear uptake from record unemployment.

Having a good work in your life is still more fulfilling than just leisure for most people, on top of that, you can afford more things.
Yes, shitty jobs have trouble finding people. I personally see that not as a downside, but rather an upside of the whole thing.
> Enjoying life is wonderful, but if everyone enjoys life, we'll all starve.

Maybe the solution is in the middle: make work time as little as possible so people who work can also enjoy life and pay them according to that time.

Presumably this benefit is to cover the wages of someone who might have been employed full time. $300 a week / 40 hours = $7.5/hr. There's your artificial floor. Great money if you are living with your parents, tougher situation if you are the parent.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but AFAIK Apple and other corporations do (did?) following steps:

- shift income to US company

- use double Irish with a Dutch sandwich or similar to shift income to tax heaven

- pay effectively no taxes

- ask for funding, grants, bringing effective taxation rate below zero
If people are comparing $300 for 0 hours vs $300 for 40+ hours then sure.

Try paying them $600 per week. If they see you pay enough for them to afford rent (which is not possible with $300 week) you will have the better offer.

Supply and demand work both ways. If you remove unemployment benefits from the local economy, what do you think this will do to local demand, and thus to revenue of local shops? And what will this do to the wage level the average local shop can afford?

Edit: Growing up in the poor part of my country, I could see that first-hand: The father of my friend had a small shop and had a revenue spike every month, the same day every month. It was the day after unemployment benefits landed on people's bank accounts.
Just curious: Is the name "Mito" derived from "mitochondrion", as in the "mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the (ex)cell" meme? :)
Studies I've seen from Sweden seems to suggest that the big problem is people going from no sun to lots of sun with no 'transition' period. Basically one big cause of the increase in skin cancer is people going straight from 4 month of basically no sun, to spending 2 weeks in Thailand sunbathing on the beach for hours a day.

Another factor is altitude. The risk of skin cancer is higher the higher up you are. People who spend a lot time in the mountains are at higher risk compared to people closer to sea level (at the same latitude).

Basically if you get a 'constant' amount of sun every day, are below ~1000-2000 m above sea level and stay reasonable covered up (wear a shirt, hat if you're bald etc.) the risks seem to be pretty low.
Gifted students will always have AOPS, which my daughter has been doing since 5th grade. Legislating math deceleration is an attempt to fix the symptom (math inequity) but not the cause (likely cultural attitudes and societal expectations).

Legislators should watch the movie "Stand and Deliver".
Big companies can also lower profits.

I know it's a shocking idea, but it is possible.

Sometimes when that happens more money ends up in the local economy and hairdressers etc can charge more and pay more without pricing themselves out of the market.

It's the difference between an optimistic and inclusive economy and a depressive and retentive one which tries to minimise shared opportunity.

I wish we could switch to not tying unemployment benefits so much to employment.

I know that sounds funky, but the reason why they don't want your minimum wage job is then they lose the benefits (not just money, but things like food stamps, etc.). If they didn't lose their benefits, they'd work to gain some extra cash in addition to them.

This is just cruel.
What the fuck are you talking about?

Are you aware that there were cultures here in the Americas that were able to preserve the environment intact for 10,000 years?

Ironically, the new arrivals here claim that Native Americans were somehow unproductive and mismanaged their territory with inefficient farming practices. Well, those claims will not age very gracefully once all the aquifers are pumped dry and soil finally becomes sterile in a few decades. All of it, in about 500 years. Good job.

None of the "advancements" you mention are actually necessary, or can actually be called advancements. For something to be called an advancement it would need to be better that what preceded it. How is precisely a global clusterfuck/extinction event better than what existed before? How can being decades away from total ecological collapse be better than living in a fucking paradise full of biodiversity in perfect ecological balance?

The only advancement necessary to achieve sustainability is keeping your ego in check and have a reciprocal relationship with nature.

Go to an Indian reservation and listen to the people who managed to survive here for 10,000 years without causing a cascading ecological disaster. Try to understand the philosophical differences between your culture and theirs, and understand which of those differences cause you to destroy the environment instead of preserving it for future generations.

And of all the security issues exploited out there, how many have to do with the kernel?

If some crappy javascript library leaks customers secrets for an online shop, where exactly is the OS kernel at fault?

If the CEO's secretary gets convinced to wire $1M to an oversees account because somebody made them believe it's the boss requesting it, then how would a verified microkernel have helped?

> The Linux CVE database was recently analyzed and it was determined that 96% of the vulnerabilities would be mitigated to at least non-critical status, if not completely eliminated, if linux were a microkernel architecture.

In a fair comparison you need to consider the CVEs that a microkernel would suffer which had been eliminated with a monolithical kernel.

Oh but it's verified, you say? Then the fair comparison is a verified monokernel vs a verified microkernel.

Apples and oranges.
That's universal basic income.

> It is incredibly telling when people attempt to equilibrate "I'm anxious because I'm not sure if I'll be promoted to senior dev this quarter" to "I'm anxious because I cannot feed my family".

Like it or not, the reality is that for some people, the anxiety of the latter is much greater than the anxiety some other people experience for the former.

Your experience may be the norm, but it is not all-encompassing, and your life experience doesn't give you the authority to speak on their behalf. While your experience and perspective may be the more common one, you are also dismissing a fair amount of suffering that many have.

There are people not far from me who handled poverty and war fairly well, became doctors, and eventually attempted/committed suicide because of the pressures on the job. One of the survivors even said that poverty and war were much simpler to comprehend than the hostility of his fellow doctors and the environment he worked in.

And no, it wasn't because of his background. Several of his coworkers attempted/committed suicide while coming from privileged backgrounds.
Considering both unemployment benefits and minimum wage are not enough to pay rent for a single bedroom apartment in every single state in US then yeah, I'd say quite a few of people would consider it at better deal.
It's $7.50 per hour extra:

Politicians used to brag about those levels being full employment.
Money is ridiculously cheap right now. I just refinanced my house and my mortgage went down 20%, and I just refinanced four years ago. When the appraiser came he told me that he's been working non-stop since April 2020 because there are so many cash-out refinances. There are a ton of remodels near me, many of who got the money with cash out refinances.

It's not a surprise that there is a demand for lumber.
Yeah capitalism was much more ruthless in the early days of the US yet there seems to have been less depression (of course due to different societal factors surrounding diagnosis this can't be said with certainty). Even looking more recently where we have better data - suicides continue to go up through the 2000s. Is the claim seriously that the US is more capitalistic or forces more work/less engaging work now than it did in the 80s and 90s? I find that hard to believe but would be interested in data that could inform the question either way.

Certainly bad financial situations are a risk factor for depression, and we should do more to address these issues so that people working full time jobs can actually make ends meet. But I do also worry that the push on the other side to continually cut back work hours will only make things worse. HN is a total bubble, most people without a career do not know what to do with themselves. Sustaining intrinsic motivation for long periods can be very difficult. Continuing a project without regular feedback can feel impossible. These are big reasons why doing a PhD can be a really tough experience. You might not think it matters if people are productive, but in the long run it is critical to the mental health of many that they feel productive. Work also generally keeps people on a routine schedule, forces some amount of social interaction, etc. These are important for a healthy life.
