> Take the hint dude, a lot of people think you're wrong, a lot.

The orange website is quite left-leaning, and there's nothing racist in my comments. Your opinion is understandable, but it doesn't mean I'm "wrong".

And no, I'm not going to bend to groupthink. Freedom of speech and freedom of conscience is a greatest achievement of western civilization, and I'm going to use it despite of increasing number of attempts of left-leaning activists to shut it down.

> Maybe reflect on your opinions a bit and reconsider a few of them?

Believe me, I do it, when I learn something new. But only then, but not when I'm downvoted/flagged or told I'm wrong or racist.
Yes. And it's even more unacceptable that the system is vulnerable to this kind of tampering.
It seems reasonable to me that this would work just like a house offer: if the offer is accepted, it should be the basis of a contract where the new hire pays if he/she backs out, and the company lays you off with severance if they back out.
Very cool and well done!

Feature request #1 - color coding different types of events.
Nobody subscribes to magazines today. The entire consumer electronics market today can barely support one and a half brick and mortar chains (Best Buy and Micro Center). Yet I can get commercially produced PCBs of my own design for less than the cost of the box it will go in. Information is more accessible than ever. Anyone can set up a web store and sell their creations. Markets are different than they were in the '80s.
The justification of America's involvement and the lionization of it does not rest upon "but communists killed millions more."
Once you’ve bought it, your incentives change no?

And ‘trust but verify’ is important - there are a lot of assumptions people make about what is actually checked or verified that are, well, just wrong. About a lot of things. And if you can’t find anyone saying it is happening, it very well might not be.

To the prior poster - call the NYC building department. Here is a link to their FAQ/index page and it should be straightforward to find from there. They are the ones responsible for making sure buildings don’t randomly collapse in NYC.

I think that the extension architecture should make it easy to declaratively state which URLs an extension will call back to, and then make it up to the browser to transparently update CSP headers to allow those calls.

As someone who runs a website with a strict CSP, when I first went live I was panicked by the fact that we got TONS of reports about CSP violations to our report URL. It was only then when I realized that our CSP was blocking a ton of extensions that people had installed. Honestly, I think at that point I would have preferred that the extension update our CSP, it's not like the extension couldn't already see everything on our pages.
> Old buildings are typically not useful.

My 95 year old brick house would beg to differ on utility of old buildings. My prior house was over 230 years old and provided 14 years of excellent utility to me.

> Hacker News is still the best place for such discussions

In general it is, but I too have noticed this trend more specifically in Google-related threads. Most other subjects don't suffer from this as much, but almost every Google one devolves into jokes about when X will be canceled.
Perhaps the OP was frustrated because this has been discussed ad nauseam in other threads, so may be you should check them out, but the two incidents are completely different.

Morales flight was denied the airspace in advance before it approached any of those airspace. They could go back to Russia if preferred. They chose to land in Vienna. Ryannair's flight was only informed of the fake bomb threat when it was already in Belarus's airspace. They were escorted by military jets. They didn't have a choice.

Morales incident, while being a bullying action, is legal, since countries have exclusive right over their airspace and can allow or deny any flight at their discreetion. At no time passengers were in danger, not to mention they were free to pick another course of action such as going back to Russia. No military jets involved.

Ryannair incident is unprecedented. Belarus hijacked another country's aircraft, faked bomb threats for their own gain. Passengers were at risk, as with any time a flight is disrupted by military jets. No wonder EU's reaction is swift and strong.
Simple concrete is enough in almost all cases for what we do - if we use enough of it. Rebar allows dramatically reducing the amount we use in most cases, with this predictable trade off

It’s rarely physics, almost always economics.
I coded this way for a while and found it makes the code easier to read and easier to reason about. Instead of your function being

func foo() {
// do A.1
// do A.2
// do B.1
// do B.2
// etc...
}

It becomes

func foo() {
// do A
// do B
// etc...
// func A()...
// func B()...
}

When the func is doing something fairly complicated the savings can really add up. It also makes expressing some concurrency patterns easier (parallel, series etc...), I used to do this a lot back in the async.js days. The main downside seems to be less elegant automated testing from all the internal state.

So there’s a few attestations for the all-caps FED listed here, including some from such sources as the IMF: https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/FED

I guess you’re going to say the IMF are also idiots, and it’s the IMF’s fault that I “look like an alt-right nutjob”? In any case, it’s a hard question to research, especially since queries like “Fed capitalization” are ambiguous.

In any case, I’m not really inclined to take seriously the opinions of internet trolls whose only contribution is to call me an “alt-right nutjob” for criticizing the CDC and capitalizing FED. Your bizarre paranoia is not my responsibility and I’m frankly still not convinced that it’s actually wrong to capitalize FED. In my experience, people who issue bizarre and unsubstantiated insults to complete strangers over the internet are usually neither intelligent nor well-informed, and so you’ll understand if I don’t take your advice, or you, seriously.
Let me ask you something.

Do you think a south-east asian country with ~100,000,000 people only had 50 people die from the COVID-19 virus?

Answer honestly
You are just saying that interacting systems have phase transitions.

I think this is a far cry from "emergent numbers".

Edit:
Maybe self organizing matter that lives on a phase transition boundary benefits from being aware of the boundary? Thats the only analogy I could think of that could logically connect.
There was this incident from last month: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/4/11/cambodia-condemns-v...

Cambodia has called on US media group Vice to withdraw an article that featured newly-colourised photographs of victims of the Khmer Rouge, saying the images are an insult to the dead because some had been altered to add smiles.

“We urge researchers, artists and the public not to manipulate any historical source to respect the victims,” [Cambodia’s Ministry of Culture] said.

Frankly this is why I prefer a "maximalist" browser like Vivaldi (and old-school Opera) that focuses on building features into the core browser rather than supporting extensions. There are benefits to having a feature be provided directly by the browser, not the least of which is the trust model. There's a trade-off of fewer features overall and less customization, but it's a trade-off I'm personally fine with.
In many cases, yes. Others will complain that coworkers are asocial or they don’t feel an atmosphere of camaraderie.

It’s all part of the package if you manage people. As I said, you need to be careful to avoid behaving in a way that creates bad situations. (Ie I’m not advocating frat house behavior or alcohol culture at work)
I dont understand your argument. People named Ralph are the minority of Walmart customers, therefore .. ??

Corruption. It's rampant in infrastructure projects in Australia. They could have just not charged anyone for public transport and they'd have SAVED money. The enforcement outweighs the revenue.

Australia has a history of corruption in infrastructure and politics, it's only really started to bubble to the surface in the past 5-10 years.. But still, nothing has really been done and it's just accepted.
I actually think b&w photos are too deceptive. I mean too many people literally picture the world at the time to be black and white. Recall that look is just an artificial limit imposed by immature chemical technology. It’s not like people wanted their pictures looking like that.

It’s even a common trope in modern films to use black and white when showing flashbacks to time periods around the beginning of the 20th century. But that’s not how the world looked! It’s a cheep and deceptive tool imho.

I saw the first few commands of the video on their site and I'm like "wait Wtf a visual representation of what hitting tab-tab does already? That can't be it"

But yes that's basically it. You have _all_ of this already and all it needs is for whatever tool you have to provide the "completion" definition file. The graphical nature of this makes it _less_ useful (as others have pointed out w/ regards to no Linux support). How this would sell to enterprise I do not get.

Kudos to them for getting funding for this tho. I wish I had the guts to take something that already exists better and free and ask for someone to pay me money to try and sell it to other people instead.
ok but that's still not really what this is about. Leveraging multiple offers for better pay is a solid strategy for a particular fiscal goal, but it's not something that's advised (that I've ever seen) to avoid the situation described in this post (an accepted offer being revoked).

Nor does it really protect you anyways, if you accept one of those offers and then reject the others after your starting date, but the one you picked lets you go the next day you'll still be in a very weakened negotiating position again when you come back for a do-over on the other offers.
You know, after having experienced the 2020 stock market crash and QE4 leading to the increased speculation of cryptocurrency, we should set aside some tax dollars to create some sort of large independent agency of the United States federal government that enforces the law against market manipulation.
There has been a lot of studies into the economic performance of south korea and the other asian tigers compared to latin american countries that had similar levels of economic development after WWII and one commonality is the inability of government subsidies to influence export success. A product exported on the global market by a country desperate for foreign investment probably doesn't have the means to gain a competitive advantage through direct capital investment or subsidies.

Of course, a country can always be competitive by keeping wages low (probably artificially low in south korea) but I think south korea and the other asian tigers got a lot of things right that aren't comparable to how mainland china approached economic reform.

Besides being of a duration of five years there isn't a lot in common the economic planning of the soviet union and south korea in the aftermath of the Korean war. The soviet union's plans controlled the allocation of almost every resource and good in the economy and its ultimate price. South Korea's planning was mostly limited to guiding government investment and lacked the policy levers available to Gosplan.

Wikipedia does not agree:

The Oslo process is the "peace process" that started in 1993 with secret talks between Israel and the PLO. It became a cycle of negotiations, suspension, mediation, restart of negotiations and suspension again. A number of agreements were reached, until the Oslo process ended after the failure of the Camp David Summit in 2000 and the outbreak of the Second Intifada.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oslo_Accords
Repetition or iteration is fundamental to mathematics. Symbolic mathematics is iteratively applying axioms and schemas to elements of a language. Computation is iteratively applying rules or functions to sets. The correlation between numbers and iterations is strong; zero iterations is identity, one iteration is the unit of computing/application/doing-something. More iterations yield ordinal numbers, and there we are at numbers being inevitable.

In theory a universe could be entirely continuous with no need to "compute" in any discrete steps but quantization in our universe suggests that numbers also have a place in correspondence to quantized aspects of reality.
I have that same issue, but I would much rather filter out extraneous CSP violations than have some exploited extension exfiltrate sensitive data.

Are they going to support their maker/hacker ecosystem with versions of their EDA tools? To support things like Efabless [1] and the Skywater PDK with commercial grade tooling would be awesome.

4 is a killer for me. I like the idea, I'd probably like the tool, but no way I'm installing a thing that sends out everything (or substantial part of) I type into CLI to the external server. Too much risk. I am ready to trust they mean well and make the maximum effort to make it work securely, but it's just not something I'd ever feel comfortable with.

I'd say we won Gulf war II, we've definitely lost Syria by now, Afghanistan probably lost.

That said, many of the well-known, long haul conflicts that the US are involved in are the ones they are most likely to lose. The ones they win they usually win quickly and are less well known.

There are plenty of interventions post-WWII that have been quick successes for the US, esp. in Latin America.
It is hard to make a comparison between South Korea or Taiwan and Vietnam.

South Korea was the recipient of one of the largest and most consistent foreign aid packages for decades. From 1946-1978 South Korea received as much foreign aid from the US as all of Africa combined over the same period. (South Korea has a population of 50 million; Africa has a population of 1.3 billion.)

And then on top of that was the military aid from the US, which made up 20-40% of all aid. Half a billion dollars just under the CRIK program from 1950-1956. Even today, the US spends hundreds of millions of dollars a year on its military presence in South Korea.

And that's just from the US. Japan also contributed billions of aid and development money.

Meanwhile Vietnam received no foreign aid and was instead under a 30-year trade embargo until 1995. Unsurprisingly, as soon as the embargo was removed, the Vietnamese economy began growing strongly (9.5% growth in 1995).

A similar story can be told about Taiwan and the massive economic and military aid it received from the US.

Plus South Korea and Taiwan were both single-party dictatorships with state-directed economies for decades, so it isn't really clear what was so great about them being "state capitalistic but not democratic". See the 228 Massacre in Taiwan, for instance.

Besides the profit apple makes, there are other reasons they require apple pay...

my partner used to work as an apple care agent and tons of people would call in saying apple apps took their money (but they were actually just random 3rd parties from app store). Apple is able to give them their money back.

These callers can't distinguish between apple and a third party app. Sometimes even from big names like uber or facebook. Apple is doing what they can to uphold their reputation (and yes, profit).
No. Academics rarely list these things to avoid lawsuits. As these are intrusive browser extensions, I'd expect lots of lawsuit-trigger-happy VPN extensions in there.
This is not meant to be used by C coders, at least not yet.

The backend are implemented “behind” CLIM itself: McClim is designed to abstract over multiple rendering backends. For a while the X backend was the only one that was ready, but I think there’s ongoing projects for a Windows and a Gtk/Cairo backend right now.
There's nothing wrong with a universe without life, just as there's nothing wrong with a world without life. Mars, for example, is without life (as far as we know). Does that mean there's something wrong with Mars? I don't think so, in the same way there's nothing "wrong" with the Sun because it doesn't support life.

That said, Earth's biosphere is a unique system that has endured terrible degradation in the past; the fact that so-called "rational animals" would cause it, not even out of malice but sheer intellectual laziness and moral cowardice, seems to me to define a very clear test of our collective mettle as humans. Right now, we're failing, and accelerating the failure.
These are really neat. One photo has this caption:

Seems impossible? Allied aircraft were flying at least 5-10,000 ft, at least 300mph?
> offer it to you with a contract

If I walk in to Best Buy and get an iPhone, I'm not signing any contract with Apple. All I'm agreeing to is "I give Best Buy money, and Best Buy gives me this physical product." The reason we're upset with Apple is that they're imposing terms on us as if we signed a contract with them, but we didn't.
One of the most important posts I read on here was on weirdness budgets. Most people want to speak with people with opinions +/- 5% of their own. If you go beyond that limit, people will ignore you and seek feedback from those within their circle.

If you are self-directed and discover your own truth, your going to have to overcome a lot of social stigma to get your points across. And in a comment on a message board where someone might not interact with you again, its guaranteed to fail.

Thank you for answering. I ask because I have this theory that there is a correlation between employees who don't mind working more to make stock to go up if they have stock.

It's never a simple analysis. I don't mind working more for a deadline if I recognize a tangible increase in revenue or cost savings, as I benefit from the stock.

"Gave away" is an interesting term. In our company, stock is 10-40% of our compensation, so it aligns our motives in a way that folks without stock don't have.
OK. So just let the communists kill millions more, or just call God to send the perfect army.
