My rule is to try and take 3 months off MINIMUM. I find that it's only after three months that the 9-5 work habits fade away, and I become truly free to explore this unstructured time.
Marx referred to such delinquents as the lumpenproletariat, an: "essentially parasitical group [that] was largely the remains of older, obsolete stages of social development, and that it could not normally play a progressive role in history. Indeed, because it acted only out of socially ignorant self-interest, the lumpenproletariat was easily bribed by reactionary forces and could be used to combat the true proletariat in its efforts to bring about the end of bourgeois society. Without a clear class-consciousness, the lumpenproletariat could not play a positive role in society. Instead, it exploited society for its own ends, and was in turn exploited as a tool of destruction and reaction."
You can’t really compare it to Irvine, which is almost completely suburban and has 1/15th the population.
Yea, was just a joke.
I'm not sure how why you think that is a relevant comment.

The general point is that "I don't use a particular OS" is wildly different to "my body does not work that way".
As a desk-bound software engineer, nearly every weekend I'll use my pickup to go get stuff I couldn't (or would be very inconvenient or dirty to) bring in a car. Lumber, concrete, rock, soil, large pots & plants, etc.

I don't drive the pickup during the week though (I mean pre-covid when I drove places), too inconveniently large for that.
I can't tell if you're joking or just trolling. What do you think drove them away?
I'd argue that the billions sunk is a great incentive to keep reactions unpublished, but I'm just a crackpot, so nvm.

I think this is a bit naive. One thing that stops a smart person doing research without a PhD is that it takes a long time to learn enough to be at the scientific frontier where new research can be done. About a PhD’s length of time, in fact. So, many people without a PhD who try to do scientific research are cranks. I don’t say all.
It's worthwhile to read up on these:

1) Youtube founders and staff waited quite a while (months) before the deal was really closed (likely due to massive lawsuits from Hollywood/MPAA costing about $1 billion.)

2) Cobalt founders made money, but employees got nothing after the Sun acquisition for $2 billion:

I have to tell you I love the small blocks. The smaller the blocks the sooner you can offer a thundering network, and we can set up some triangles and that’d be damn awesome. Convoluted tech is the best. How about a block size halving every 13 months?
> How much would you enjoy discussing your potentially opposing political views with your boss? I trust him to be a good person, but once you pay that seed of doubt in someone's mind, things are never the same.

Why do you assume my boss is a man? That comment planted the seed of doubt in my mind. I'm sure a quick visit to HR can sort this out.
iot should never accept proprietary closed standards. people should be able to know & openly freely interface with th devices of their home.

thread is an improvement over th worse status quo. but it still reserves all rights, still keeps humanity from being allowed to know how any of this stuff works. enslaving humanity to magic devices that only giant mega corps can understand is the opposite of the personal computing revolution we & our homes need.

there were some posts on the just announced "Matter" standard[1], which is basically the zigbee "dotdot" device profiles being ported to Thread. the new alliance is called Connectivity Standards Alliance. but given that consumers don't have access, it feels like an alliance against understandability & respect. just a land grab for companies to ally with each other upon.

Are these not just two different perspectives on the same thing? The "aims of the entrepreneur" is overly specific to certain work arrangements, but overall the point stands. You have motivations to work which align with fulfilling your needs, and the organization you work for has motivations which align with what the owners/leaders want. The latter is served in part by your labor.
I absolutely do not talk about politics at work. I really don't want my career derailed because someone doesn't think I'm progressive enough.

Lol. Good on you. Also, you're curious and like to look into things--duly noted an unnecessary number of times.

Still, Sen. Reid may be rightfully proud of that characteristic, relative to the UAP topic.

It's kinda frustrating that we are only now coming out of our "it's probably not worth looking into that" incurious phase _as a species_, and yet many still excitedly await this report, hopefully first of many, which may just say in effect "what exactly did you think we would know? We don't know much, but governments aren't exactly paid to be quick to admit that."

I'm glad that the scope and this level of inquiry may become more persistent though.
I'd argue that the billions already sunk are a great incentive to keep the publishings to a minimum, but I'm just a crackpot so nvm..
TL:DR Poverty is the true problem, and we need to think about things more holistically.

Here we are on HN, once again debating criminalizing poor people for not having opportunities, about if it's better to fine poor people or imprison them, treating those as solutions, instead of something just making the problem worse.

The problem is poverty. How come when we try to incentivize the rich, we give them stuff like tax breaks, but when we want to incentivize the poor, we punish them and take their money or freedom away?

People are so focused on if it's wrong to take something that doesn't belong to you, they don't ask if it's wrong to have something and not give it away to someone who needs it more than you do.

Because it's not comfortably middle class Americans who have good paying jobs who are repeatedly shoplifting, it's poor people who don't have a significantly better options.

Treating their crimes as the most salient aspect of them by calling them thieves and criminals ignores their poverty, instead of treating it as a systemic societal problem which harms us all.

This wasn't a natural experiment in any case, pre/post the law, you can't blame the law for shoplifting, other variables weren't fixed and thus confound the results. I expect rent increases, increases in the prices of food and other consumer goods and so on have a much bigger impact on shoplifting. Even if you could, if it wasn't shoplifting it would be some other means of making ends meet.

Poverty, homelessness, food insecurity, these are problems our country absolutely has the means to address, and investing in stopping them pays dividends not just in higher tax revenues but in decreased crime.

And with that in mind, isn't it smarter to take some of the money dedicated housing prisoners, policing the poor, managing them through the criminal justice system, and using it to help them so they don't have to steal?

In bernal heights, someone smashed my window and stole my camera out of the back seat of my car while I was in the car. It was quite traumatizing, and I don't really like going to San Francisco anymore. (They knew we were in the car, but went for it anyways. Pretty brazen, and they got away with it.)
From what I've read/heard, the "sexist" stuff is way out of context. Even if it's not, there's no need to pre-charge someone with a crime because they might have opinions you don't like. IF he did something to create a hostile workspace (which from what I've heard of the guy's character is super unlikely), then that's when something should be done.

> If and when an employee creates a hostile work environment, then the employer may address it by disciplining or firing that employee.

I don't believe this at all, and more importantly, the way you've phrased your second paragraph, I don't think you really believe it all, either.

That is, your first paragraph appears to be arguing that it's only OK to fire an employee for "hostile work environment" if that employee does something hostile at work, and never OK to fire based on stuff an employee has written before being hired.

But your second paragraph actually shows you think the offense really wasn't that bad, that you think it was a "misinterpretation" taken "out of context".

But what if the employee had been in the KKK, and had argued for white supremacy, and that other races were lazy and poor workers? Would you still think an employer would be out of bounds for firing that employee?

My point is that I think it's perfectly fine to fire someone for egregious behavior or writings before they were hired. It's certainly worth debating whether Chaos Monkey rises to the level of egregious - I haven't read the book so I don't have an opinion. But I think some kind of blanket statement that "what you've written before being hired shouldn't matter" is pretty ludicrous.
FTL travel is not possible (for things that start out moving below c) even with warp drives - here is a quote from a theoretical physicist[0]:

> The real question is therefore not whether a space-time solves Einstein’s equations, but whether the distribution of mass and energy required to make it a solution to the equations is physically reasonable.

> And for the Alcubierre drive the answer is multiple no’s. First, as I already said, it requires negative energy. Second, it requires a huge amount of that. Third, the energy is not conserved.

> [...] Bobrick and Martire explain that if you want superluminal motion, you need negative energy densities [in their new paper about slower than light, physically realizable warp drives]. If you want acceleration, you need to feed energy and momentum into the system. And the only reason the Alcubierre Drive moves faster than the speed of light is that one simply assumed it does. Suddenly it all makes sense!

Also, even if it were, the amounts of mass/energy required to achieve the motions that are being claimed would make these ships extraordinarily easy to detect (for some of the claimed accelerations, they would likely turn into black holes before actually accelerating that fast!).

Also note that the number of planets in the galaxy is irrelevant as long as we have no idea about the likelihood of abiogenesis (and we don't).

With how much we know about implicit bias causing so many problems in equity for things like promotions and opportunity in the workplace, having someone publicly espouse explicit bias should come with some consequences. The glass ceiling exists.

You’re saying it shouldn’t be based on an out of context fragment, and I agree but often in those situations in context can mean the same thing. Case by case for sure but if you’re saying white supremacist/chauvinistic talking points online and you’re in any position of responsibility, people who are not white or male are justified in not feeling like they’ll get a fair shake.
Agreed with most of your points, just curious about:

> Same way you won't get good mileage on any car if you do that

What do you mean by that? Aren't ICE cars often more efficient at highway speeds? My car usually averages 45ish MPG on the highway and more like 30 in the city.. the sweet spot seems to be around 60-70 mph. Some US highways get up to 80 or 90, but that still (at least for the cars I've owned) ends up more efficient MPG-wise than city driving.
DEC Pathworks for DOS versions 5+ contained a LAN Manager 2.0 compatible client which could access SMB shares via NetBIOS over TCP/IP or DECnet. It would be nice to see how performance compares against the IBM and Microsoft clients.

It would also be interesting to compare performance over protocols other than TCP/IP. The IBM and Microsoft clients both support NetBEUI. I believe one of the Microsoft clients supports NWlink, Microsoft's IPX implementation. And as mentioned above the DEC client supported DECnet.

Crime rate is strongly related to poverty. Stronger punishments don't change that and in fact have the opposite affect. If we work on that we can make some progress.

The US has the largest prison population in the world by a large margin and we still have a relatively high crime rate overall, especially when it comes to violent crime. Putting more people in prison is not a solution to our problems as we can clearly see.

It really helps to look at the numbers to wrap your head around it, but here is a lot of good data to start understanding the issue. https://www.prisonpolicy.org/reports/pie2020.html

There is a lot of data and research out there regarding these issues, that's the good news. The bad news is that few people want to take the time to read it.

By that logic, anyone who is proven then to be involved willingly or not in the false accusation and wrongful imprisonment of anyone should be punished by the harshest means physically possible. Absolutely no mercy.
For what reason is the cost of Bitcoin and other digital forms of money falling?
Neighborhood FB groups in low crime places don't have people posting about actual crime. It's usually either social stuff, or posts by Karens about random "suspicious looking" people.
I'm not sure I follow. If a dogecoin is minted, so what? I don't know why bitcoin or other crypto in particular would care so much more than anything else in the world. They work differently, record different information, and are about as interchangeable as any two different physical things.

I'm not sure why it would matter that a coin is only scarce in it's own network. That's the only context it can ever exist in. You can't yank a dogecoin out of the doge network and stuff it into the bitcoin network.

"What is the problem with allowing users to have choice, especially in a gaming context, to find a cheaper option for content?"

What's the point in this question?

The answer is clear: that any company wants to limit choice to the extent it helps their business.

Yes, LeCun is still head of AI research there, and he's a big draw for talent. Any advancements like this (unsupervised learning) are a huge boon for technology. Often, the most time consuming part of machine learning is creating the labeled dataset. It's amazing to see what can be achieved without one.
Also, perhaps the fruits that can be masterly picked by single individuals have been picked already.

Please see my other comment [0], based on what a real theoretical physicist explains about warp drives: FTL warp drives like the famous Alcubierre drive are not physically possible, even though they are mathematical solutions to Einstein's equations. Warp drives could be physically possible, but they would be slower than light and require a constant stream of matter/energy to accelerate.

No forgiveness for Martha Stewart!
If you go through the specs they're quite overwhelming, the basics are ok and perhaps that is essential to include on any design, but once you step a bit outside of hyper text it's really complex (or just want some degree of interactivity), as an example, hidden aria elements can't have focusable elements inside them, so if you have panels that hide/show content you have to change the aria elements as you go, hey js, not sure also how it plays out for a screen reader, does it just abruptly stop and starts on the new panel once it goes to a shown state? Then you need tools, specific ones to test it, then you need to understand all the nuances between html and specifics of aria tags, and how it all plays together, and then css, that has to play visually with what the accessibility requirements are to make it consistent, then you need JS for anything interactive to change those things.

Then form invalidations, input patterns, and titles, and outside of the form errors (returned on validation by the backend), then dropdowns, buttons that link, or do actions. And then localisation. Probably there's more.

No idea how to solve those to be honest, but as it's it definitively looks like a full time role with enough domain specific knowledge needed to do a decent job.
It takes way more investment to do what you're asking. Collecting the video, getting a warrant, tracking down the person, sending a team to arrest them, etc. How much does that all cost the city? Average cop makes over $50/hr in San Francisco. So it probably costs more than the loss typically?[1]

The problem in SF is that we've disbanded the team that tries to catch people in the act[2]. IIUC, it's both because there weren't enough resources and the DA won't prosecute anyway, so what's the point.

I agree, but that is generally not referred to as modes. A mode in UI is, when it switches and the inputs behave different. For example the "Insert" key is a mode. One could argue that Editing and Debugging (of code) are two different modes.

What you (and me) dislike are "assistants". It is when a UI decides upon something.

I am surprised they didn't use electromyography bands which are a perfect fit for this particular application (like those by Ctrl Labs and Thalmic labs). Perhaps their budget didn't allow for making custom amplifier chips.
Well, I'm the wrong person to ask because I think my interests are actually oppositional to Twitch's goals but:

I'd update ToS to ban nudity and literal sexual behavior (aka people cannot masturbate or use sex toys on stream), but relax the ToS to allow sexually suggestive content like hot tub streams, pole dancing, etc (basically just actualizing the ToS against the current unwritten rules). I'd probably move sexually suggestive content to a section of the site that gets their own ads (or no ads at all) and an updated revenue share to supplement the damage to Twitch's perceived brand and ad loss. Also, the NSFW area of the site is gatekept behind various age checks and doesn't get advertised on the main site (meaning, sexually suggestive streamers don't show up on the front page).

With these updates, the ToS becomes legitimate, sexually suggestive content is no longer in violation, the site gets more appropriately segregated (gaming vs. sex). Win/win.
Heh. I used this more than 20 years ago, maybe on windows 95 or 3.11. I think it was the one of the first software I paid for using my own doe. I switched to Emacs shortly after though. I don’t remember why exactly... maybe it was Emacs DOS support.

>>>Nonetheless, current menu options might still be worth reviewing. Providing customers with the ability to block access to information about "Abortion" or "Religion," for example, seems controversial, particularly from a company that has championed free speech and tried to avoid content policing.

As a free speech fan I think that's the perfect solution. Give people the ability to block things they don't want rather than blocking people saying the things they want to say. Of course the way it's used come could cause problems but if done well it's a great idea.
