It's worth noting that all people are "protected". One should be careful there, because "protected characteristics" include race, color, gender, pregnancy, disability, and age if over 40. All people have race, color, and gender category; any person can experience disability; and if we live long enough we'll all be over 40. Not particularly disagreeing with your comment, just pointing out for those reading that you -- you -- have protected characteristics, legally, no matter who you are.
It is still in beta test and they have a free emulator and the ROM is open source. It is a Commodore 65 clone, which is like a cross between an Amiga and Commodore 64. It has Amiga graphics and sound. It also has a C64 mode.

Only developers can buy a computer and it is expensive, once it hits retail they will make them in mass production to keep costs down.

But when we apply statistical mechanics to "microscopic" arrangments like a few particles in an idealized rigid box or in a vacuum, there is no arrow of time. The laws of physics themsleves are totally symmetric (CPT theorem), and it is not thought the t-asymmetry of the weak interaction is responsible for the global macroscopic arrow of time. So without some statement of initial/prior conditions, we have no reason to see just the "forward" arrow unless we say something about initial/prior conditions.

you do have tolerance. you just don’t know it. a lot of things are “political”. You cannot share virtually anything about you or your life without some political subtext.

Try sharing something, anything and I’ll make it political in 2 easy steps.

One part of the article:

This is about a guy who wrote a book on his own time, published it outside of work.

Someone did not like some parts of the book and the guy had to quit his job?

There is nothing to suggest the man acted improperly at work.

It is a sad day for a Democracy when I am supposed to worry about what self-appointed political officers acting entirely outside of HR, will feel about what I write.

That is an autocratic regime.

You didn't read then, it clearly states in the articles (and many others you can google) that the defense production act (or rather the threat of it) and executive order required manufacturers to prioritize domestic orders over exports. To this day manufacturers in the US are still not exporting their supply. What date you put your order in doesn't matter if the supplier isn't allowed to provide it to you until later -- so we didn't order from the US because at that point Trump made it clear we wouldn't be getting any from them. So Pfizer supplied us from Belgium.

FWIW Canada announced their order of the Pfizer vaccine August 5th. The US on July 22nd. Are you seriously trying to suggest that two weeks is the key decider here? Nonsense.

https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-vaccines-...

And an executive order was signed later to make it clear, these vaccines were for America First (despite the R&D on them being done in Europe)

"Trump made his remarks just before signing an executive order intended to ensure that priority access for COVID-19 vaccines procured by the U.S. government is given to the American people before assisting other nations."

Completely agree about the Volt. PHEVs are ideal, and best for the environment. Who cares if you have to use gas a couple times a month for longer ranges if you don't need to mine so much lithium and cobalt for the battery?

Cutting gas usage by 80% should be considered essentially equivalent to 100%. And the lower electric range of PHEVs is likely offset by lack of range anxiety and potentially greater adoption.
> The canonical point of a workplace is to come together to fulfill the aims of the entrepreneurs.

I disagree. The notion that humans turn into employer-owned production machinery for 8 hours a day is one very particular way to conceptualize work. But it ignores both the individual as a whole person and the society that contains and enables the workplace to function.

To me, even as a former and perhaps future entrepreneur, I think it's a giant mistake to see a workplace as a place where the entrepreneur is a tiny god-king. Work is a social and societal activity at least as much as it is an economic one. If people want to play-act as robots, I won't deny them their kink. But that's not what interests me about work, and it's not the kind of person I hire.
That may be your point of view, but can you hire a lot of people with this attitude?

Companies in tech successfully attract talent on the basis that they provide an opportunity to "have impact in the world". I work in tech and I hear this all the time from candidates in interviews, when asking why do you want to work here. Nobody says they just want to make a lot of money for the shareholders and a little for themselves.

The meaning of work and quality of workplace environment is incredibly important to people who work in tech. That's part of the job market situation.

If there was a massive surplus of qualified candidates to do the work, sure the "entrepreneurs" could be telling their staff to "shut up and get to work" whenever they talked about anything non-work-related... But at this time, it just isn't something that employers can really afford to do, and they have set themselves up for it too by hyping up their workplace culture and perks, and by positioning themselves not just as money making machines but as beacons of societal progress.
That depends a lot on your availability to participate in preparation. Other commenters have mentioned yaupon. I'd bet you have camellias growing locally as well. Commercial tea comes from camellia sinensis, but can also be made from other camellias. If harvesting and preparing isn't your thing, there is some tea that is grown and sold in the US. Not much to choose from, but it's available.

If it's not obvious, I've been giving this some thought for a while. I've homeroasted coffee and discovered that I enjoyed the process more than the quality of the outcome. Coffee won't grow well where I live, but camellia does great, and that would give me the opportunity to take on the entire process from root to cup and truly seize the means of my own caffeination.
You're making so many assumptions. First, that crime rate is linked to policy. Further, it's bizarre to me that you think comparing San Francisco to Scandinavia makes sense but comparing past San Francisco to present San Francisco doesn't. Neither experiment is particularly good but the latter is better.

Leaving that aside for a moment, if there was "evidence" that not punishing murderers was the "best thing for society" (in terms of rehabilitation, crime rate, etc) would you support that policy?

For most people, a society that doesn't punish criminals is simply uncivilized. I tend to agree.
Same with violence and gun policies.

Which is the cause and which is effect?

Or even COVID deaths and lockdowns.

Policy can be as much as outcome as a cause.

It's clear that people are exchanging their labor/skills for money. Your parent is referring to where that money comes from and why some people have it, while others must exchange their labor/skills for it.

It's pretty clear that capital is running away with the game right now. Until that's rectified, your argument about exchanging labor and skills for money makes your parent's point rather than negating it.

That is, the exchange is only free among parties with relatively equal power (at least collectively). And, if it's not a free exchange then your point is moot.

I own a cow. Because I own a cow, I often need to get bales of hay from the local co-op. I need a bed (or a trailer) to bring those back to the farm. A pickup can do this.

I grow vegetables. Because I grow vegetables, I occasionally need to pick up a yard of compost. I need a bed to bring that back to the farm. A pickup can do this, too.

I own a tractor. Because I own a tractor, I need to be able to tow said tractor to the nearest dealer or machine shop to get it serviced and repaired. I need a vehicle that can tow a trailer carrying multi-thousand-pound many-foot-long tractor + loader + three-point implement setup. A pickup can do this, too.

I cook using ingredients I don't grow myself. Because I cook, I need to be able to buy groceries. I need a vehicle to bring as many groceries as I buy at once back to my house. Would you really suggest that if I already have a pickup for the above three needs, I should keep a second non-pickup vehicle around just to run to the supermarket, the doctor, or local watering hole?

That's a lot of expense when I could just have a general-purpose vehicle that does it all. HN seems to be all about general-purpose computers that can do more than you might need day-to-day. The same can apply to vehicles.

An interesting plant growth simulator for all the Deep Reinforcement Learning people:

The growth of the plant follows Space Colonization Algorithm which have been used for rending realistic trees in games. This algorithm is based on a cloud of points which have been inspired by the grown of tree in order to provide a certain attraction to the growing branches.

That's what candidates say in interviews because that's what they think they're supposed to say. How many are telling the truth?
I think a lot of it is the weather -- acting as a forcing function to deliver the observed results.

If NYC, if you don't have enough shelter space, there will be large numbers of people dying in the streets in the winter, so the city's hand is forced, and they have to build enough shelters or rent hotels, etc. That's not the case in California.

And likewise, if you prefer to sleep outside instead of in a shelter, that's an option year-round in California. But not in NYC, at least for a few months a year. So your hand is forced and you have to get used to sleeping in a shelter.
The only way that's true is if you have a very narrow and specific definition of "political issues". Your claim itself is very much political.

Every workplace deals in money, in power, in status and class and survival. Those are inherently political. As is insisting we pretend otherwise.

Eventually people will lose trust in the system, and will only work as hard as to not get fired. Like they did under Communism. Just a general decline in morale of the country. And lowering of standards of everything produced. This was also coupled with having secret police like the Stasi, and job site informants. Something like 1/3 of the population was making reports on their fellow citizens in East Germany. And work was the primary place to get dirt on someone. Any sign of not being a True believer in the system could get you reported. People should fear the authoritarian left, as much as the authoritarian right. Having communist party affiliation meant you could be terrible at your job, and be promoted. Having party connections, also meant your kids could go to University, with terrible grades. Get cars or housing, when others had to wait years.

> But when there's a conflict, the employer's goals should take priority.

Employees don't need to blindly follow the pre-existing structures, rules, dynamics, and culture of their workplace 100% of the time, never attempting to modify them. It is possible to change these things, both in small and in large ways.

Sure, efforts to make large changes are probably not successful the majority of the time. But change does occur. An employer is an abstract entity composed of humans. Who else can change the nature of this entity but the humans who make it up? And small changes, while seemingly insignificant, can add up over time in a very meaningful way.

One can also vote with their feet and leave if the clash of values is large enough. This requires having other options or resources, but for those with the option, it is a powerful way of making a statement.
Latency in fact would be reduced due to faster rendering. Remember that it needs to go to the GPU eventually anyway in order to output to a display.
I don't think they "feel" that way more as it is an economical decision. If you have more work coming in than you have allocated resources for, there are decisions that have to get made.

Hi, in no particular order:

* A free tier that is generous (i.e. 10 minute granularity, 3 sites but no custom domain)
* REST API monitoring with GET, POST, PUT, DELETE etc and response testing with i.e. regex
* Ability to host at own domain (i.e. mythingstatus.com)
* Customize with company logo and colors
* Add locations and location groups with drill downs
* Calculate uptime SLA
* Latency measurement from different geographic locations
* TTFB measurement and full page load measurement
* Email notifications for simple downtime
* Email notifications for thresholds of regressions
* Embed analytics
* Watch and report for DNS changes
* Add a downtime message .. and manually mark the service as down or up
* Run a script after xx failed health checks
* Some kind of 1x1px gif pingback that you can put on your custom 403, 404 and 50x pages that tracks how many times these pages were served and collects some information?
* Cost ... <$5 mo for small business and a much more expensive option for finer granularity (i.e. 2 mins, 1 min and 30 second polling) or something like that. Amazon offers most of these features for $1/mo.

if you are under 11 this basically doesn't apply in even the slightest sooo yeah I think it's full of shit.

after that, I think the expression of these hormones is again confined to societal patterns, that keep us from understanding the real impact of these chemicals in any objective sense. it's convenient cheap & easy to convince yourself you know the impact of these chemicals, that it leads to this behavior or that, and while yes there are differences for sure, I place far more emphasis on the straightjacket of society & the limited roles it's even willing to consider than I do the impact of the hormones. I think there's many potentials for how these could be expressed that are simply denied, excluded.

that parents are so confident their kids have such strong gender biases well before the significant bio-chemical differences start to emerge, that's a huge red flag on this all. we have nearly no ability to grapple with the real impacts.

>No, it's not the vehicles, it's the people driving them.

people being distracted isn't a new feature; people being given distractions in the cabin is.

I'm not sure exactly what your argument is, to be quite frank.

Are you insinuating that less visibility isn't hindering the ability to drive safely?

There are additional devices commonplace in vehicles to make up for the lack of visibility -- pedestrian detection/auto-braking/switching cameras for example -- but surely a car would be safer to both pedestrians and the passengers if it had those types of features along with increased visibility..

>No, it's not the vehicles, it's the people driving them.

As a former auto mechanic, maybe i'm over-exposed.. but :

1) car interior design changes yearly, and it's usually to sate consumer desires rather than for safety/usability/efficiency.

2) mechanical failures aren't rare. mechanical failures that may end in injury or loss-of-life aren't rare, either.

The DoD has done tons of usability studies with regards to UI/UX. If auto manufacturers wanted a safe/repeatable/efficient environment then the interiors would probably share a lot of features with fighter jets; tactile buttons, audio cues, correct information density, etc.

They don't look anything like this -- this is a clue to the consumer that there are different priorities in mind at the manufactures' HQ, namely lately ICE (in-car entertainment, not internal combustion engine; sorry for possible confusion) and technological glitz like RGB lighting.
>Indeed, a lot of problems in academia come from universities trying to pretend they are vocational schools...

I think I've seen this sort of sentiment repeated countless times for a number of years, but I strongly suspect it's quite ahistorical and incorrect.

I'm sure there is some diversity in how public university systems developed in various places, but the state university (you know, not Harvard or something) I went to evolved from a teachers college. It was educating people for careers before it tried to follow a curriculum like liberal arts colleges.

Zooming out, wasn't there a period of time when there was a whole movement to repurpose higher education from educating a small elite in Latin, Greek, etc. to essentially vocational education? Didn't this go hand in hand with the upheaval of the industrial revolution, and the idea that the masses should be educated?

See:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land-grant_university

When people sneer at universities being places to educate people in useful skills, it bewilders me because it seems like they are just wiping away the last couple centuries in favor of a vague desire to return to an era that simply didn't educate the average person.

I just have had this sense of weirdness for years that never goes away, whenever people matter-of-factly complain about universities being focused on practical subjects as though it were a recent degeneration of higher education. It was always (for the hoi polloi) this way! It was meant to be this way, going back 160 years!

I have to disagree, it's not a matter of preference, it's a matter of what they are exposed to.

We have dolls, lego, duplo, mechas and a big "kitchen".

We live far from family and none of my friends here has kids, so my daughter plays with me a good chunk of the time (I work from home) and with mom. Mom doesn't like dolls, but she puts an effort into showing her. I get just bored with those, so we play with boy toys.

She get a little bit of interest in dolls to pretend she is cleaning her little brother, but most of the time she plays with duplo, although she does put to bed the characters in there.

There is no one saying "princess princess", so her favourite character in Frozen is Frozen Marshmallow (the big snow monster), she likes singing though.

Again, it's all a matter of exposure and it comes heavily from who she plays with the most. In our case, me and my wife are the people she sees the most (and COVID obviously pushed that even further).

Oh and yes of course we want a gender neutral environment. Now that I think of it, she also sees me changing diapers, so maybe she is pretending to be me.
It's usually the people with no life outside of work that insist on politics at work.
