No, this is illusion of apathy, believing you are powerless is what actually makes you powerless. Larger changes have happened within American society that in retrospect seem obvious to everyone.

Another example: an otherwise identical resume with the first name changed from Tyrone to Brad results in 3x as many job application callbacks.

> A more analogous example to the case at hand would be an employee at Google/Humana/Tinder selling your private details to a third party. This ruling means that such activity is perfectly legal, even if the terms of their employment state the opposite.

No, this isn't what this means at all. This ruling just means you haven't committed a crime under the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act by accessing that data if you didn't "hack" to get access to it. Depending on the information you sold, you could've violated other laws and you definitely violated the Non-Disclosure agreement you signed with those companies.

For reference, the cop in this case had other convictions under wire fraud laws that weren't changed by this.

But for the most part, rapid decline isn't on the table. It's a slow, steady decline. Which still has problems, but it's easier to make it work than a rapid decline.
Hello from Europe, a graying continent.

We have a massive problem here. Our welfare systems, generally one of the most generous on the planet, cannot cope with the greying of the population.

We also seem to be attracting the "wrong" kind of immigration for that purpose. Highly qualified people tend to prefer the US, Canada or Australia with their lighter tax burden, while our borders are crossed by mostly uneducated young men from the Islamic world whose employability is limited. The resulting societal conflicts are nontrivial, both between the migrants and the natives, and the "refugees welcome" vs "fortress Europe" camps. The trend seems to be towards "fortress Europe", but that is not an easy objective either.

Having a child is extremely expensive if you are an urban professional, because prices of real estate have skyrocketed to insane, unprecedented heights. There is a talk of negative interest rates, slow abolition of cash and higher taxation of property, which would turn the middle class into rats racing for life, owning nothing. Impoverished middle class tends to vote for devils just to stop the pressure. Which usually does not work anyway.

And we are heavily indebted. To be precise, some countries are heavily indebted (Italy, France), with some others, called frugals, joining a common debt scheme after Covid, but with their populations hating it. The next generations will have to carry the debt burden somehow, and the cohorts are projected to be smaller.

Unless we have a real breakthrough in robotics and kind and universal robots start caring about us all for no remuneration, this won't be sustainable. Too much of our current system is based on the fiction of constant growth.
Plus the existing tenured knows how to survive and navigate the politics. If they didn't, they would've never reached tenure. This is why the average tenure is so low.
Too bad, I already have one of these in my living room.
The bad faith argument was losing an internal fight with other Googlers and deciding to go public in the hopes the social media mobs would force management to capitulate to her ideas.
That makes sense. Nobody has a monopoly on violence so everyone wants to front-run their own demise by killing the person that will kill them with a small but non-trivial probability. Pre-emptive violence becomes rational in such an environemnt.
I don't know it makes much difference for internal controls. The implicit threat that backs the control is the disciplining of the employee, not their criminal prosecution.
People have a right to be armed; why would you consider using your rights to be worth a death sentence?

If it's illegal to be armed, you should change the constitution, rather than asking police to shoot evry armed person they see

My anecdotal experience tells me that homeschooled people have worse social skills than average. No amount of exposure to peers by a homeschooler is going to match the 8 hours a day, five days to week someone who goes to public schlol experiences.
What a silly and cynical comment. Most employers (the vast majority even!) aren’t looking to set their employees up to become criminals when they fail to follow company policy. Usually the goal of a policy is to have a fail-safe: where even if the policy is violated the law isn’t.
Transferring ownership of an NFT would not work just with digital signatures and IPFS, though. I could sign a transaction saying "I transfer this NFT to you", but unless you trust me or some authority, you have no guarantee than I don't just resign it and transfer to someone else as well.
>Neither of those is “global head of diversity”.

Exactly, they're much higher positions with more scope and reach than "head of diversity" at a software company. Thanks for agreeing with me.

>I might be bothered to simply empty out my response as it would be moot

Except the premise of your post was proven categorically false. He absolutely should have known the difference between "Jews" and "Zionists" if he was a diversity advisor to the Obama administration. QED.
Under the context of a quantity of transactions and the normal person having access to art sales, I'd say that bubble has popped. That also may imply the total market size has popped. But you're right to say that the transaction size perhaps hasn't popped.
> I reject this way of thinking because it groups second generation Irish immigrants with those who inherited wealth from the days of slavery.

I understand that this is an extremely sensitive topic that can make it hard to reason about. People never feel good when accusations—false or not!—start flying. And once those kind of intense feelings get involved, it's hard to lower your defenses and try to read what people say charitably.

The point of my comment was entirely that it is not about guilt. None of us living today bear responsibility for historical slavery in the US, even those whose ancestors owned slaves. How can I be considered at fault for something that happened literally before I existed? How could I have caused that?

(Edit: I realize now that my analogy where the house is inherited obscures that. I think the analogy would work better if I said you won the house in a lottery.)

What we carry is not guilt from the past but responsibility for today. Because of that history of slavery, many institutions today still unfairly benefit white people. (In my analogy, the pipe continues to deliver water long after the person who unfairly plumbed it has died.) Because of those benefits, white people today have more power as a group generally than Black people do.

It is today's unearned benefits and the greater capacity to remedy them that places responsibility on white people in the US, not any bloodline that traces back to slaveowners.

We should fix racism today because it's wrong and because we can. We bear a moral obligation to people living today to give them the more just world they deserve.
Yeah, people had already been using the private APIs on jailbroken phones. That's still a pretty ambitious timeframe even just to get out all the supporting infrastructure, though.
I ve been watching videos of people from Norway where electric cars are popular, and ppl tend to spend hours in their car waiting for cars to charge. It makes sense to think that this will be a new place where people find themselves. But is this going to last? I understand the novelty the first 5,10, 100 times but at some point people will demand battery swaps instead because waiting hours for the car to charge every time becomes a friking chore
I hate jenkins groovy so much
So why did you call out Israel, the US, and Russia and not the others?

I'm not trying to start a flame war here, I'm just curious as to what makes them special. There are many other nations involved in larger-scale conflicts right now. There are many others that have been involved in more conflicts globally historically. Many that have and do oppress and murder on a regular basis. I will say the US and Russia do get involved too much in outside conflicts, but Israel's ongoing conflict is paralleled in many other nations right now.
I like Drone, and run it on my own systems. It integrates nicely with Gitea.
If I recall correctly, Japanese and Hong Kong subways make more money leasing out space in and around their train stations than they do selling train tickets. A similar model could apply to superchargers.
Cyber COP, Experian Cyber services, and the like have provided fairly perm accounts paid for by the government due to breaches and mistaken disclosures of PII. While the above mentioned incident is one of the more notable, it ain't the first and isn't even the most recent.
I think this hits the nail on the head. My response to seeing "the" Mona Lisa is much different than seeing a reproduction of the same, no matter how faithful that reproduction may be. In a digital space where anything and everything can be losslessly duplicated ad infinitum that distinction simply doesn't exist.
> Every additional step required to set up a chat ...

Nobody was arguing that it should get in your way. Again, see the alternative app I mentioned as an example of how it can be done: in Threema it also doesn't get in your way, you also have to go into the user's profile to do the verification, but the status is displayed while you're chatting rather than being just something ignored in a back menu for super nerds.
Replace the word "Jews" with "men" and gauge the reaction of those in the modern diversity movement. Either it's ok to say "not all <group>", or it isn't.
Contracts only hold power because of the government which can adjudicate and enforce the laws.

How those contracts are written, whether it's on paper or on the blockchain, is the least interesting part of it all. NFTs add no value that existing recordkeeping cant already do (usually much better and faster).
Oh no my username is a an actual product :/

It kind of is. He talks more about things like corporate lawyers etc which fit the name "goon" more, but I think the more general point is people you have to employ because other companies employ them. What category would you put it under?
In America, it's better to be born white and poor than black and poor. Data from field after field backs this up - economics, healthcare, policing, housing, to name a few.

Further, I don't think you can exactly call losing the Civil War "making sacrifices for racial equality." If I've got my boot on somebody's neck, and I won't take it off until pushed off by force, my skinned knee isn't a sacrifice that I made so that my victim can get up.
Both of those theoretical problems exist for physical paintings as well. You don't know that Salvator Mundi was actually painted by Leonardo da Vinci (maybe his gardener painted it and he lied to everyone saying it was him), or maybe he actually painted it several times. Perhaps one day we'll find evidence that the gardener actually painted it, or we'll find additional "original" copies, and suddenly the value of our current "original" will be reduced.
Personally, I like the fact HN does not have categories or tags. A simple list of stories keeps me curious.
You claimed that those speakers had more accurate sound, clarity and bass reproduction than a set of studio monitors costing 100x as much.

That sort of statement needs to be backed up by serious, verifiable facts.

So please go right ahead and back up your extraordinary claims with some verifiable proof. Distortion measurements would be a good start.

As I previously mentioned, Amir at audiosciencereview.com has the necessary tools for thorough speaker measurements, and he accepts shipment of speakers for testing.
Yet China wants more population. Are people criticizing that policity because lack of resources? If lack of resources is true, where is the outrage here? It seems more like some people are not willing to sacrifice lifestyle and instead sacrifice human population, not to mention there is huge asymmetry in the world when it comes to population.
It just sounds so childish. "Blockchain Tower". Woo! Woo! Pff... Just like a South Park or Rick and Morty parody of blockchain charlatan shills, but it's actually bona-fid blockchain charlatan shills performing a spot-on parody of themselves, without one iota of irony or self awareness.

https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Woo

>The term comes from "woo-woo", an epithet used in the 1990s by science and skeptical writers to ridicule people who believe or promote such things. This is in turn believed to have come from the onomatopoeia "woooooo!" as a reaction to dimmed lights or magic tricks. The term implies a lack of either intelligence or sincerity on the part of the person or concepts so described.

>As a coincidence, the Chinese word 巫 (pronounced in the Mandarin dialect as Wū) means a shaman, usually with magic powers. Also coincidentally, the Chinese word 無/无 (pronounced Wú in Mandarin) means "nothing," "lacking," or "negation." Another Chinese word 误 (pronounced in the Mandarin dialect as Wù) means "mistake" or "incorrect". There is also the English verb "woo", which means to seek someone's love, especially with false promises; it can also be considered appropriate, because woo-meisters seek people's admiration, falsely promising them miraculous and easily understandable knowledge.
sure, it's been going on a long time, but younger humans tend to have to relearn this for themselves. hopefully the relentless fearmongering around covid reveals the mechanisms of sensationalism for more people.

practically all projections of power, as a critical feature of organizations, reach for heightened exaggeration to drive complicity. in that way, i'd reject 'both sides' as a false dichotomy. rather, any side--any significant organization, as a consolidation of power--will inevitably project misleading hyperbole, news media being no exception, and political parties being explicitly designed for it.

the bit that we need to keep relearning is the intertwining relationship between media and other organizations in shaping narratives for their own benefit, in opposition to the ideal of media keeping other organizations honest by disseminating information they'd otherwise wish to keep private. we the people have to continually keep organizations honest.
This ignores the coerced plea bargains, which i don't think involve any conviction

Absolutely, there is a reason for the scarcity and people will put value on that. One carve out may be things like SUPREME, or some rare Air Force Ones, but that probably boils down the amazing marketing on their part, and may not stand up to the test of time. Clothing is kinda a weird one, as fashion is cyclical and the nature of collecting means you don't use it. The only things I think commanding huge prices are dead stock 1890's Levis or band tour shirts (which I would argue are not so much "fashion", as it more of the cultural relevance of the band). When adjusted for inflation, old high-end haute couture come out to be around what they cost back in the day and this can be said of pretty much all clothing, jeans being an exception.
NFTs are just things that people who missed the boat on crypto trying to get in on a new thing, while understanding neither.

There are many systems in which believing you are powerless leads to your own powerlessness.

Not voting in an authoritarian military dictatorship masquerading as a democracy is not one such instance, unfortunately.

There is no sufficient loudness of "wake up, sheeple!" that will get the US military to stop waging war (the continuation of which is entirely contrary to the will of the US people). It is an autonomous organization, unaccountable to any branch of the US government, as evidenced over and over again by the lack of resistance to it in the USG, and the lack of consequences for its members when it breaks the law.

The CIA got busted lying to Congress about hacking into Congressional computers to delete evidence of the CIA's torture program. The torture program continues, and nobody is in jail.
USAA's new 529 company is absolutely horrible. Has arbitrary password length limits. It complains of good, complex passwords and you can't paste them in. I couldn't even log in because my account became locked. It definitely hurt USAA's reputation for me.

This seems to me to be the correct decision. Van Buren should have been charged with:

GA 333: Exceeding official powers

and, Federally, 18USC 201, which prohibits public officials from taking bribes.

So to be clear, as a corollary of the standards you've defined here, 1.3-1.4 billion Chinese have some level of culpability for what's going on with the Uyghurs?

I mean, I can see where you're coming from. But at this point we are really at the fringes of culpability and it's more of an issue of semantics and definitions.
I was going to dismiss this as similar to a lot of other things I've seen, but hearing your POV helps a lot - as someone who has friends IRL that I met in UO, and a wife I met in EverQuest, your story really hits with me, thanks for this, I'm going to check it out.

I guess my main curiosity is how we get people who don't believe virtual communication/living is the same as in-person or at least capable of being socially fulfilling. Does Spot do anything special to attract the people who go in with cynicism?
> One person asks a single naive question once: "How do I undo the most recent local commit with GIT", gets 200,000 reputation.

I imagine the person that asked the question about git was the first to ask. There's a benefit to being the first, or asking unique questions. The value of the first time that was asked and answered usefully on SO is vastly greater than the 100th time, and the value of having it at one time compared to a year later is also great. Sometimes what matters is how it's asked, so it looks like other people's questions.

> Another person answers 100 complex, delicate questions useful to high-performance computation underlying widely-available cloud services; gets an average score of 5, has 5000 reputation.

I would guess those complex and delicate questions didn't help a lot of people, or they would have upvoted, right? Whether that's because people didn't see them or it's so esoteric as to not really help many people, the result is the same.

> Who has been more useful to the site?

The person who asked a question that got a useful answer first, or that answered a question usefully first, is greater.

Stack Overflow would be a pretty shit site if the first time someone answered that git question was in 2021 and not a decade or more ago, so optimizing for people identifying, asking and answering unique questions that match the questions other people have and are easily identified when people search for that problem makes sense IMO.

In the mechanical turk metaphor, you're willing to pay a lot for someone to take out your overflowing smelly trash because that's what you need, but you're not willing to pay as much for someone to do the same thing a day later if it's not even half full and doesn't smell. You reward people more for doing the things you need.

If you think that NFTs have any future, I have a few things to sell you.

The basic tennet of an NFT would have been fine, if the people selling them actually owned the thing that they were selling, and had contracts to prove it.

Until then, they are just receipts for things you bought out the back of a van.

At least you can hold an autographed baseball or baseball card, for example, it's a tangible thing that a baseball player took the time to autograph.

The NFT cards with fake / digital signatures are particularly pathetic.

Or the way a physical card is designed, the way it looks in real lighting, the way its material properties exist and interact in physical space. There are qualities to that, and the manufacturing process involved, that you can never replicate with NFT collectibles. The same is true with physical vs digital art. Art hanging on the wall can have a majestic quality when it dances with lighting; digital art is flat garbage by comparison in that respect (even when it's really good digital art; it's bound to a screen in most cases). Manufacturing a nice physical collectible card to a high quality specification is dramatically more difficult than spitting out NFT cards by the zillions; quality control is a huge challenge in collectible cards. There's a scarcity effect generated in physical collectibles like cards, in regards to quality of manufacturing (damage, corners, centering, errors, etc), that doesn't exist in NFTs (unless you intentionally fake that, which would be something beyond stupid).

There are many aspects of physical vs NFT collectibles, where the NFTs will never be able to compete, not under any circumstances. And there are almost no benefits that an NFT has over a physical collectible, with the supposed simplicity of digital storage & transacting being the primary (which also has an obvious, huge risk / downside associated with it simultaneously).
After reading the post this is the same impression I get. His views don't seem that different from someone like Noam Chomsky, just not articulated as well.
