for those who didn't read the article here's some quotes:

> Thomas Piketty, an economist, became famous for a book that analysed 200 years of data on wealth inequality in a wide range of countries. This month he published a paper, co-written by Amory Gethin and Clara Martínez-Toledano, which applies a similar approach to the relationship between demography and ideology. Its findings imply that the electoral victories of Donald Trump and the Brexit campaign in 2016 were not an abrupt departure from precedent, but rather the consequence of a 60-year-old international trend.

Opening credentials

> In 1955 both the richest and the most educated voters tended to support conservative parties. Conversely, both poorer and less-educated people mostly chose labour or social-democratic ones. Today, wealthy people still lean to the right. In contrast, the relationship between education and ideology began to reverse as early as the 1960s. Every year, the 10% of voters with the most years of schooling gravitated towards left-wing parties, while the remaining 90% slid the other way. By 2000, this had gone on for so long that, as a group, the most educated voters became more left-wing than their less-educated peers. The gap has only grown since then. This trend is strikingly consistent. It developed just as fast in the 20th century as in the 21st, and appears in almost every Western democracy studied. This includes both two-party systems and proportional ones, in which green parties now lure educated voters, and nativist parties attract the less educated.

This isn't just because of trump and while current right-wing narratives hate on universities for being echo chambers, the research says this shift has been occurring for a long time.

> Although the authors do not identify a cause for this trend, the simplest explanation is that it stems from growing educational attainment. In 1950 less than 10% of eligible voters in America and Europe had graduated from college.

This makes sense, institutions have largely had a consistent mission (we could maybe argue with the access to federal loans there's been more change to cash in while they can), however access has been increasing significantly over the last 70ish years.
That is what taxes could be for. But super wealthy not only dodge them (witg legal and non legal ways) but they also use their power to influence lawmaking to reduce their tax exposure even more. It is just gangster capitalism.

Wolves eat livestock, not being trained otherwise. Wolves are rare in a lot of places where they used to be numerous, coincidence?

It never went away. On Linux you can use the "Mate" desktop environment, which is the 1990s windowing paradigm updated just enough to be fully modern.

Windows until recently could be reskinned to look like Win2K, though I doubt that Windows 10 still can.
It’s amazing that people don’t understand this.

If you have a condition or something that it could affect, sure don’t get the vaccine. I’m fine with that. But if you’re healthy and esp if you didn’t have covid yet, getting the shot is patriotic. Fools try to twist it otherwise.
personal data should be 2-party consent for every data sale transaction by law, not this ‘opted-in by corporate mandate and backed by regulatory capture and monopolistic power’ we have now. people should be able to negotiate a rate at which they’re willing to allow the corporation to sell their data, including not allowing it at all ever.
You're right, but I don't think that the other commenter was speaking to iGPUs. Higher wattage laptops mostly have beefy GPUs sucking up that power, and you'd be hard pressed to find any iGPU that compares (including that of the M1)
Very much to what I came here to say.

1. Time.

2. Know (and accept) that different people grieve differently. Some are quiet, some histrionic. Some deal quickly, some slowly. Some talk, some don't. Some want company, some need solitude. Allow yourself (and/or others) to be themselves, and don't try to force yourself (or someone else) into a preconceived 'this is how you should behave/grieve/deal' mould.
Keepass has no multi-user support. Their site admits as much: https://keepass.info/help/base/multiuser.html

"Multiple users can log into the same database with the same password" isn't multi-user support. It's important to keep several passwords synchronized between family members and very useful to be able to securely share individual passwords with friends on occasion. Without ACLs and user accounts, this is impossible.

There's no official mobile app, which means I have to trust some random developer or live without basic quality of life features such as autofill.

It doesn't support U2F, instead requiring plugins to use a one-time password form of 2FA.

I would probably venture to say that the 2021 iMac is also an outstanding and very capable developer workstation for 95% of developers out there.

Now, I know this will illicit dismayed responses from the other 5% who want 256GB of RAM, or a RAID-45.1375 18TB array, or some other edge cases, but I suspect we'll see this iMac show up in a lot of startup offices over the next year.
>> Your run of the mill Russian is honest about their feelings. Not honest about the facts, no, they can cheat on an insurance filing just fine. But that coldness that so many of them seem to have is often just an outer shell. Once one of them trusts you and gets to know you they're so warm and intense about their love for you. So excited to show you something dear to them. Even devoted enough to learn a new language just to speak to you, even if they're a senior[0]. It doesn't mean the relationship always survives, because that intensity is still there when they're angry, but the highs are so high.

I'm not a great fan of serious literature, but I've read a bit here and there and I think the above should be blindingly obvious to anyone who's read at least as little as I have (basically, Crime and Punishment, three or four pages from The Idiot and Gorsky's The Flaming heart of Danko). Or, anyone who's listened to the music (hello, Chaikovsky? Black Swan? You wanted feelsies?) or watched the movies (Tarkovsky) etc.

I think in the past the literature and the art in general would have been where Western people learned about Russians (and everyone else not in the West, also, but the Russians have a lot of literature). It's a bit of a shame if this has really been replaced by tinny stereotypes promulgated by Hollywood.
The article seems to be saying that Apple has a decade-long lead in wearables over a list of companies that don't even make wearables. That is a clever trick for giving the article a bold title, but the result is a fairly uninteresting and uninformative Apple jerk-off piece. It is akin to saying "Quaker Oats has a 150-year lead in edibles" where Apple doesn't even make food.
It seems like it's hard to understand how "let me know if you need anything" is hard to hear unless you've heard it hundreds or thousands of times.

I'm sorry about the situation you are/were in. That must have been very difficult.
Compare this Forbes fantasy to the reality reported by Vox:

"Bosses are acting like the pandemic never happened"[1]

The sad fact of the matter is that most of the people who run things really don't give a shit about their workers, as long as they get rich.

Which is why I'm constantly amazed at there being any worker protections and limited working hours at all. Laws like that are the only thing that gives me any glimmer of hope at all.

I know way more than enough about the tech world and work within it professionally. My biggest attraction to these iMacs is I think they might just be lightweight enough to move between multiple places depending on use.
Can you elaborate a bit on what this would look like?
In many large companies with multiple divisions the divisions operate to a large extent like separate private companies even if the company as a whole is a public company.

Is Google like that? If so, then it is easy to square things. The parts of Google that handle health stuff could have completely different policies about handling private information than the parts that deal with smartphones.
One of the reasons I left DOE for industry many years ago was that so much of the funding went to large supercomputers with about 8 users (the folks who had made their code scale to the largest size) while vast majority of people with compute needs went unsupported.

I use LinkedIn as a professional identity placeholder and online resume for HR groups. I ignore pretty much all the posts because much of what I've sampled has been trash.

I think anonymity is the real key here. It gives power back to those in leveraged positions to be critical when they otherwise wouldn't. Once you connect back to your real identify, you become as leveraged as you really are and act accordingly. You're not going to be as critical of information you really are because socially speaking, you may close off a bridge of opportunity. It becomes this ridiculous networking and social climbing game instead of focusing on content.

Anonymity is a double edged sword because it can certainly be abused and give garbage but I feel like you get better information through anonymity than actual identity. Both require sorting and filtering, one just seems to have more insightful information.

It's not unique to LinkedIn of course. LinkedIn posts often remind me of cringe worthy corporate meetings where you have disjoint groups in the same meeting or disconnected higher level people. It's often in your interest to say nothing at all than be critical, so you get all these sort of ridiculous discussions about nothing where everyone prices each other or some effort. LinkedIn posts embody this worthless grandstanding nothingness--that and just general advertising/marketing. We have a business culture problem, IMO.
I understood fine. The problem is trying to formalize "ad hoc" versus "production development" practices as if they're meaningful.

There isn't some golden truth of software development that analysts are too lazy to learn and implement. There's the problem and then there's solutions. Complaining that Jupyter-based development doesn't adequately accomdate version control or some other whistle commonly used in software development is some peak developer entitlement.

As someone who frequently drives windy roads at night(I live on one), please learn how. Auto high beams are rude, they only turn down once my lights are on you, if we’re going through a corner, thats close enough to put after-images on my retinas. Frankly, I think they are a safety hazard that should be illegal.

A human driver will see the headlights coming and turn their high-beams down preemptively.

Its doubly shitty because cars outfitted with auto high-beams typically have those high intensity lamps too. Ugh.

Sure. And if you live in the US, you'll have to pay US taxes anyway. The parent's point is that, if you think you'll permanently move out of the US in a few years anyway, you should probably think hard about whether you really want US citizenship.
Why wouldn't you just put a wind-powered vuvuzela on the front instead? Then it's only being obnoxious when you're in motion and it's pointed in the direction that you want people to hear you instead of the opposite.
Also seems particularly odd to even have recaptcha on the email login page. Who cares if robots check email so it doesn’t seem user friendly to prove humanity to read email or get a login error.
I paid $0.99 for photosync. It syncs to many cloud providers, and (most importantly to me) to ssh/sftp.

You can set it to sync whenever your phone is inside a particular location boundary (e.g. at home, where there is wifi), so it works transparently with zero ports open to the internet, and no firewall-bypassing cloud services.
>If you don't acknowledge these are humans with genuine concerns

Are their concerns genuine? Are Jewish space lasers an actual concern? Are microchips really in vaccinations? Do SV companies actually have the ability to stifle their speech? Clearly he seems to be getting his message out despite them. We are at least discussing things on HN rather than threatening to shoot him.

My brother believes that the Grand Canyon was made by Noah's flood and the Earth is less than 6000 yrs old. There is no rational discussion to be had or debate to be won. We don't agree on basic facts.

I agree that mocking has not worked. The problem seems to be intensifying. From my perspective the GOP has elected representatives that do not respect compromise, policy or law. The Fat Orange Man stepped down only because he had no other options (for now). Yes - I do expect them to take it with a smile:) I expect them to return with ideas and policies that will make them win at the ballot box not threaten me with violence or take away people ability to vote.

We live in a Democracy that values the peaceful transition of power. That is why it has worked. Trump, Green and Gaetz are dangerous precisely because they do not. Nazi Germany wasn't made in a day or one speech.
It's right in the charts. The financial leverage along each step is similar. The mechanisms of that leverage are identifiable.

Logs work: https://nanovms.com/dev/tutorials/logging-go-unikernels-to-p...

Monitoring like prometheus and such work just fine, although we have a few customers using https://nanovms.com/radar as well.

Our developers routinely use gdb to debug various issues: https://nanovms.gitbook.io/ops/debugging .

You are correct though that there is very much a lack of traditional user-land and that is on purpose. A lot of people expect these things to be similar to an alpine-like distro and that is just the wrong picture to have. Think more heroku/serverless - it is all about the application. So you wouldn't ssh into your application. Yes, there is a underlying kernel but it is more about freeing the developer to think more about their application and less about deploying the server itself.
I'm not a big fan of the algorithmic password systems. In practice you need to remember some bits of state for each separate website, because of different password rules or because you had to reset the password. This results in either needing to memorize a lot of information or writing it all down somewhere. The former has the same problems as memorizing passwords without assistance. And if we need to write it down, then we might as well write down a long and totally random password for each website.

If the worry is losing your phone, some of the popular services such as Bitwarden can also be accessed via a web interface, without installing the app.
Yes, "take your head home" would be pars pro toto, but it is not something people usually say (in particularly, that's not what GP (or GGP or whatever) said).
> The problem is that when you've reached terabytes of data and tens of cores you're not "ad-hoc" anymore.

Not in any meaningful way, the code to explore a 50MB data set on a little machine looks the same as the code to explore a 50GB data set on a big machine, so of course one doesn’t need version control more than the other.

> Too often the math guys try to avoid responsibility by claiming they're doing "ad-hoc" work when they're clearly not anymore. It's convenient, yes, but leads to a bad place eventually.

This is a moralistic argument. The economic argument is that the primary artifact of research is insight, not code, so getting to that novel insight as fast as possible is paramount. Putting version control, tests, or other ceremony into the exploration loop is a pointless cost. Productionizing that insight can happen later in a more traditional software development workflow. It’s similar to how we write proofs of concept without the intensive testing effort that we would go into if we were writing production software.
From my understanding a stock Harley coming out of the factory is relatively quiet. They manufacture them to meet legal requirements.

It is just that majority of owners seem to replace exhaust system components to give it that "Harley sound".

Disclaimer, I work in the autonomous vehicle industry but the opinion are of my own. I roll my eyes (heh) when people say if humans drivers only use their eyes so AVs should too. What a load of bull. While a camera is getting really good, but HDR is still subpar to human range. What about stereo vision and how we use two eyes. What about how your eyeball can articulate while having stereo vision. What about how your neck also articulates your vision range. What about how your eyes instinctively look at moving objects. There’s so much more to “human vision” than just the eyeball.

I’m sitting here staring at that headline as my tablet sssslloooowwwlllyyyy debates if it’s gonna load the rest of this article and all I can think is: for who?

Is this gonna be the future of work for construction? For fast food? Store clerks? Will this 20h/wk schedule pay enough to support them and their spouse and a kid or two?

I am betting the answer is “no” and that this future is only coming to Forbes’ target market, or some subset thereof.

Edit: got it to load on the other tablet, the first sentence says this is only talking about white-collar workers, so... nope!

Why would you need to look at your watch? If you are listening to music on your Apple Watch - you are probably using headphones, all of which have next/prev buttons or gestures.
It’s definitely a thing, it’s even in RFC 3629 but definitely not recommended. However some Microsoft tools default to writing CSV as utf8+bom and others expect it too so it’s hard to ignore.

> The new iMacs are unashamedly aimed at people already in the Apple ecosystem. Yes, they are more expensive than other one-box PCs out there, but the iMac buyer won’t care. They’ll want it to, sigh, “just work”.
I work in a Principal role at a company whose products or services many people use every day. All of my work is done on on a Mac, which you’d have to pry from my dead cold hands before I’d be willing to go back to a PC (especially Windows).

I didn’t read the rest of the review after finding that sentence. Shockingly, the author is listed as an Executive Editor.

I’m going on a tangent here, but these companies like Wired produce trashy content, lose readership, and then go on to blame anyone and everyone but themselves.

> any academic linguist can tell you (off the record) which.

Hmm, once again you allude to unspoken truth. What is your understanding of this unspoken truth about which languages are "better"? I assume that if you hold an opinion, you can present it clearly without vague references to unnamed sources.

> Python is probably the most successful teaching language; I can't think of another language with a better reputation syntax-wise. (And if another language has such a reputation, it's probably because that language is also "Pythonic").

In pseudocode, what you have written is: I assert P because I think P is best and prefer P; also, any other language that meets my requirements is P.
I didn't understand this comment at first. Then went on and read the article, then reached that part ... wow.
I dunno, I think most people will still err on the side of x86. Most developers aren't deploying to ARM, so it's a pretty difficult value proposition to sell someone a computer where they can't even natively debug their program. Maybe my workflow constitutes that "five percent" you're talking about, but part of me also knows that most developers will probably be pretty disappointed with just 8 gigs of ram and 256 gigs of storage. Especially if you install XCode, one of the most asinine and largest programs I've ever seen.
How come it's still shipping model S and model X with radar then?
The term they use, which should also resolve this absurd definitional argument completely, is "cultural genocide".
Try to register a new Protonmail email address normally and you can do so without supplying too much information. Try to do so through Tor, and you will not be able to proceed without “verifying” the account with a phone number. This pattern (they want either your IP or a phone number) tells me they’re likely interested in tying accounts to real identities and shouldn’t be trusted with anything private. I would even go so far as to suspect Protonmail of being a honeypot. Oh…I’ll just leave this here:
