I concur most don't know what it means. Years ago I started reading around trying to understand it, and all I found was that the ones who supposedly did understand, really couldn't explain it clearly; and they all had different definitions.

Reminds me of "if you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough"
I have very fair skin and used to burn easily, but now I don’t wear sunscreen 99% of the time I would have in the past. I just make sure to go outside regularly (starting in the winter months, here in the northern hemisphere) and expose my body to the sun, all year, and not just during vacation months.

UV intensity changes with the seasons. Expose your skin to the sun when UVs are lower and your skin will adjust to the higher UV levels slowly over time.

Before the industrial revolution, lots of work was outdoors, such as farming. Changes in industry drove folks to work more indoors, in factories and offices. Combine that with the culture of working all year and vacationing in the summertime. Folks stayed inside when UV intensity was manageable, and went outside for the bulk of their vacation, when UV levels were more intense. No wonder people think they need a product to protect their skin at all times from UVs.

I’m not against sunscreen. I’m against unnecessary use of a product that encourages more use of said product. At high altitude, I’ll sometimes put zinc on my nose and ears, though I usually wear long sleeves to protect the arms.
> It seems while the initial reading is that this is an inevitable process, the more sapient technological perspective would be that they've discovered a key mechanism that can now be investigated and adjusted for improved results.

I think this research is as much about to estimating the maximum age of an organism if all causes of premature death are removed. i.e. to get longer than that you need to fix aging itself not disease
Even if the client fetches the URL dynamically, nothing about the semantics of that URL parameters or results can change or the client will break, you can only add extra optional things that the old clients will ignore. All those URLs still very much are part of the API surface area even if they're not hardcoded - their functionality still needs to have out-of-bounds documentation (contrary to the HATEOAS assumptions - "self-descriptive messages" IMHO can work only for syntax but are an unrealistic goal as far as semantics is concerned) and fixed behavior to match that documentation, in all realistic cases the client can't properly interpret the data without programmer intervention if the model changes.

So this gives you only the freedom to change the URL naming scheme, but if you want to change the functionality in any way that's not 100% compatible, you still have to drag along outdated endpoints with the old functionality or you'll break clients.

But this goes so much in contrast to your comment that it seems that I'm probably misunderstanding you - can you give an illustrative example on how exactly does this allow you to combine or split endpoints without affecting client software that sends/takes data from those endpoints and does some action (business logic) based on that data?
There are a few in-universe explanations of the fractured canon, my favorite:

Good point, I never thought about those. Still, I'd personally say these are the quirks rather than the entire premise of permanent vs temporary. This is from the perspective of a native speaker though, I don't know anything about linguistics.
The important implication of broadcast TV being "free" isn't that there's zero cost. It's that there's no subscription.

Subscriptions mean you have to pay a certain minimum amount, even if you want to watch just one episode of something. That's a much bigger burden than changing the channel.

Yes, in theory you can carefully manage things and cancel as soon as you've watched what you wanted, but in practice that effort is a cost too (like watching a commercial is a cost).
Yeah, and digital camera manufacturers aren't adding megapixels for nothing and processor makers don't chase higher clock speeds for nothing, right? Because why would they keep adding pixels and increasing the clock frequency just to make the tech numbers look more impressive in order to sell more electronics? Yes, sounds pretty ridiculous.

Now of course, maybe the new retina screens appear slightly sharper if you have exceptionally good eyesight, but I have long ago stopped seeing any improvement in sharpness of smart phone displays. The screens do look better in terms of better colours, contrast etc, but at a typical distance with an individual with normal eyesight, adding more pixels does pretty much nothing at this point.

I doubt it, they'd probably end up with some pausible deniability framework in place that still funnels the upside to them while eliminating any downside risk.

Maybe if copyright claims needed to be bonded to cover any counter claims, it might get somewhere.
One is accepting the risk of not knowing almost infinite amount of chemical interaction of human bodies vs some novel chemistry but still maximizing the safety as its simply the right thing to do for everybody long term, including J&J. The other is accepting the usage of highly-questionable-at-best compounds as part of baby care products, because current bonuses take priority above everything else.

Evil comes in many ways. This can be argued is just massive negligence and ignorance, or even arrogance. As a father, when all this topic is paired with babies, I don't mind calling it evil and treat it as such.

I complained vigorously about the acquisition to freenode staff at the time, due to rumors that Lee and Falkvinge had acquired freenode in order to attempt to surveil private security issue discussions between Bitcoin developers in order to further the high profile cryptocurrency scams they were participating in.

I was consistently gaslit by freenode staff. The current story that this sale is all a surprise is a direct lie. At the time I got nothing but platitudes about how PIA just had freenode's best interest at heart, etc.

I'm sure not every staff member was in on it but the claim that it was Christel is just not true. I don't see how anyone regards freenode staff as trustworthy at this point.

The time for long time freenoders to defend freenode was in 2017.
> I have not seen a coherent argument for why HATEOAS should be a useful property for API's beside "REST says so".

Loose coupling and extensibility, the same reason that its used on the web, which is quite critically a machine-to-machine protocol (while obviously humans consume it via user-agents, automatic crawling and othee machine-to-machine processing is key to the success of the web) and HATEOAS is key to why it works.

this probably adds complexity for non-savvy users. for instance, my TV can handle a ~20mbps unencrypted stream. turn on encryption in plex, and that drops down to ~8mbps. I'm fine with routing an unencrypted stream through my LAN, but I'd rather not do that with pirated media through my ISP.

Wiktionary, which I usually find to be more comprehensive and accurate than the commercial dictionaries, lists 'libera' as a word in Esperanto, Galician, Ido, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish. But not English.

Regardless, it doesn't seem like a challenging word to me, somebody who has only ever spoken English. I just pronounce it like it's written, "lib-eh-ra", it never occurred to me that this world might be challenging.

> Small functions get used in other functions. Eventually you end up with a function everyone's calling that's doing the same logic, just itself calling into smaller functions to do it.

Invert the dependencies. After many years of programming I started deliberately asking myself "hmm, what if, instead of A calling B, B were to call A?" and now it's become part of my regular design and refactoring thinking. See also Resource Acquisition Is Initialization.

Ok, but again when you talk about "new windows versions" you're talking about an event that happens very infrequently, and most drivers do continue to work for decades without needing to be updated across multiple major versions. Windows 7 drivers from 11 years ago generally speaking still work in Windows 10 today. Hell, even Vista drivers (14 years ago!) often still work. Contrast that with the Linux kernel where you have to recompile external drivers, what, every few weeks?
I found this very weird too. If the cat found the mouse by itself, sure, there's not much you can do about it. But giving the mouse to him and watching him torture it for a day? That's honestly very weird and cruel.

I think the vim philosophy is slightly different. The vim philosophy is if it worked yesterday, it works today. This means, for the most part but not exclusively, not making breaking changes. This means, by proxy, that the defaults were set a long time ago and are unlikely to change. It's a difference in who they consider the most important users, the ones already using it or the new users that might use it in the future.
Most of those trillions were delivered to the ruling/corporate class who has used it to secure assets instead of create value. That is the source of this inflation.

I wish all browsers would heed color space hints consistently. Seems like some things are always going to assume the generic sRGB, and some thing will notice the profile and convert accordingly.

> vim's "killer feature" is its text editing language and modality. But plenty of other editors and IDEs offer vim emulation to varying degrees of success. So this can't be the reason to use (neo)vim-the-binary as my editor over, e.g., VSCode.

"varying degrees of success" is rather short of "sufficiently to not cause problems"; in my experience they're only good enough to get into the uncanny valley of "will this work" hesitation before every keystroke outside the most common.
> All Americans I know take USA and America to be one and the same, so no complaints here.

Perhaps not for you, but that's pretty much the main point here. :)

> As far as I know people from the southern continent call themselves sudanericanos or alternatively sulanericanos in their native languages.

Sudamericanos, latinoamericanos, sul-americanos, latino-americanos OR americanos. They all work.

> Again, in English there is no confusion about what the word America refers to.

I'm pretty sure I speak English daily, and there is definite confusion. There's also the problem that this language excludes a lot of people.

> It may make a difference in Brazilian or South American Spanish, but that’s their problem, not an English problem.

Allow me to pick a small nit: the language is Portuguese. In some contexts it may make sense to distinguish the American from the European variety but it's still mainly Portuguese in the same way that US/American English is still English. That doesn't affect the point you're making in any way, of course.
The article reports that 72% of respondents said their income has not increased. So whatever trillions of dollars were created don't seem to have made it to the populace.

Either the respondents are not a representative sample of consumers, in which case the article's conclusions are of little value; or something other than increased consumer spending, like supply chain issues, is causing the inflation.

This.

We were already experiencing inflation (cost of living went up because housing went up because we bailed out a bunch of banks that should have failed.) This time it's just more obvious because the price of things people buy directly went up immediately.

Hi slv77! I would love to ask you about a comment you made on another thread 5-6 years ago (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12367754).

Yes, definitely, both with people I know and sometimes others. I use only plain text email, not HTML (and I use email software that cannot read HTML email; it will display the plain part if there is one, otherwise the HTML code is displayed without being interpreted as HTML). I run my own email, and when I am at the computer, can see in the status line if there are any new messages (I programmed it to count the number of lines that start with "From " in the mail box file, whenever the file has been modified).

However, for open discussions though and other communications, etc. I prefer NNTP. For fast communication of short messages, IRC is good (both for public and for private messages). For an extended private communication with fast messages, if there are only two people communicating (as the role playing game I play currently is since I am the only player other than the GM), a plain direct connection works fine; no specialized software or protocols are needed.
I wonder if there'll ever come a time when display calibration at the hardware level ever becomes common in consumer products.
Letting all the schoolkids and leafy surrey familes off on their ski holidays to Italy in Feb half term (15th-23rd) was probably one early bad decision, how much different that would have made in the mid term, but closing borders was never on the cards for any country - closing heathrow was unthinkable even in mid March.

New Zealand borders closed on 19 March 2020. Based on deaths and IFR at that time, there were likely 150,000 new cases a day in the UK on 19th March. Closing borders then wasn't going to stop the spread.

Maybe a strict lockdown after the Feb half term and a total closure of all borders - including lorry drivers, could have worked.

Would it be worth it? The age-standardised mortality rate for the UK in 2020 was 1,043.50 per 100k, the highest since....

2008, when it was 1,091.90 per 100k. That wasn't an anomoly either - every year from 1990 to 2008 was higher. Even ignoring ages, the crude mortality rate per 100k was higher for every year before 2003.
I think that's a bit misleading. The clearest pattern I see in that data is that sprays are particularly bad. The top of the list is dominated by them, out of all proportion to their prevalence in the market overall. Any manufacturer who makes a lot of different products, and particularly spray products, is likely to have some entries on that list. Indeed, if you look at Appendix A (the "not detected" list) you'll find a ton of other products from Neutrogena, Banana Boat, and all the other big players. And a much lower percentage of sprays.

Without adjusting for the number of products a vendor makes, and how closely they're related (e.g. 70SPF vs. 50SPF versions of the same thing), you're going to get the wrong idea of who the "bad guys" are. For example, "Fruit of the Earth" has only one product on either list, and it's on the bad one. Would you buy their product over a Neutrogena gel or lotion?
That may be, I was just trying to get to a page with the font which needed a lot of flipping. If the book were opened in a new tab, I don’t think I’d have the same complaint.
Tangentially related, there is a Greek influence on Buddhism in East Asia because Buddhism arrived in China via the Greek Bactrian kingdom. The Buddha as depicted in East Asia is wearing Greek robes and there are elements of Greek philosophy in Buddhism as practiced in East Asia.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that "supply-chain issues" don't cause price inflation. If less stuff is available the price of stuff goes up.
I don't see why this is a problem with ndjson anymore than it is a problem with other stream text encodings (like CSV).

ndjson seems to be about how to format the content of the stream, not about how to multiplex multiple streams over a single channel. Use http2, zeromq, raw tcp or whatever else you like for that.

Maybe because it's a nazi-themed thriller? Nazi fiction has always been about USA (good) vs Hitler (evil), but this millennium has shown how evil our own governments can be. Nowadays we commoners understand wars are not for fighting evil, but for gaining geopolitical and economical control. The theme doesn't inspire hope anymore.

Disclaimer: I'm just a dumb casual reader.
Economists like Bernanke have talked about dropping money from helicopters in the sky, in order to prevent deflation.

What the government has done in the last year with its $10+ trillion in stimulus, is the exact definition of dropping money from helicopters and yet no one is pointing this out.

Which means we must have narrowly averted a truly horrific situation as a country. The fact that everyone keeps talking about more stimulus means that the government knows more than we do, and the risk of deflation still remains high.

> Citation needed on “unquestionably a racist”.

Race is a social category, not a genetic one, so his claim is ill-founded from the start. It is scientific consensus that genetics does not explain variations in IQ between racial groups. I don't think evolutionary biology is racist, I think people who believe it supports racism are hiding their basic racism behind scientists who don't agree with them about the nature of race.
If so, the solution to the problem presented in the article is simple: tax the rich.
We might be willing to pay. It might also be possible to marshal a community effort, if it were organized in the right way. Hmm - there might be something to this idea. The trick would be to set it up so that even if it failed, it would be an interesting failure.
One way of looking at it is that Bezos has just acquired Trump’s Apprentice outtake tapes.
So theres a couple points after reading through this:

1. The driver in the article even says that this case might not be racially motivated. There was a fist fight going on and it was related to the passengers. Passengers got in the car and the group attacked the passengers and the driver.

2. There has been a lot of Asian rascism and hate crimes in America. There was some statistic that showed ~50% was from African Americans and ~30% from Latinos. News have been underreporting this in light of the statistics. This is a huge issue that media is hiding from us.

3. This rise in asian hate crimes might stem from harsher job market and rise in Chinese propaganda. In fact, it also seems like Black/Latino community after being oppressed so long is lashing out at another minority community. I would suggest it might stem from 1. A lack of financial opportunities and 2. Systemic oppression against Blacks in America. It's like how Trump likes to do it. Deflect the blame and hatred at others instead of really looking at the main issue.

Overall, both class and wealth inequality comes into play. I would suggest there's quite of things going on but what would improve it would be:

1. Start improving the education system in America. Education is usually correlated to higher wage, better working standards and job satisfaction. However not only improvements in STEM, but also in the Arts (History, World Literature, Philosophy, Finance? and others). When you lack a well-rounded education, you don't see beyond your current situation. You start discovering more about the world, more about other people's plight or your own and you understand the human condition. You see that the world is beyond just your current situation. "People who do not know history will end up repeating it" (Some person I dont know)

2. Change in Black culture. I'm not the most educated on this but there needs to be a change in African American arts/music. There needs to be a change from just victimization, gangbanging and "money" culture. Yes it is true there's is system oppression. Yes it is also true that Blacks should be able to express their frustrations and anger at society through music. But it should be towards a goal to reform society or to be conducive towards society. Right now, there's a mindset of creating division or rage against society or the police. We should build communities not destroy them.

Anyways, I don't know what I'm saying lol. Just rambling and trying to get my thoughts out. Steps are 1. Improve Education 2. Improve Wealth Generation 3. Build stronger communities (maybe?)

This was due to the pandemic disrupting the global supply chain, not because of the inadequate yet desperately needed stimulus, unemployment supplement and child UBI.
