> Are you aware that people are having their lives ruined for comments they made years ago and in good faith?

Yes.

I'm going to pretend you made the comment I'm assuming you meant to. No that's not ok with me. I'm strongly opposed to taking something someone said out of context and using it as ammo for a different conversation. I'm also strongly opposed to doing anything other than assuming good faith when trying to interpret previous comments. I don't believe the solution to people who act in opposition to those ideal is hiding.

> Why would a name I chose for myself be worth any less than a name someone else picked?

It wouldn't, but that's not the connotation of the OP. The intent was to use a name to hide your real identity. You can choose your real identity, but that's different from hiding behind a pseudonym.

That’s where I wonder about the FIRE calculations, cause it assumes the S&P 500 will return a 7-8% gain YOY which, while historically true, may not necessarily be the case moving forward.

Going back on-topic, it still seems like the biggest way to build wealth is either 1) kick ass at your job as an employee, or 2) hustle when starting a new business. Entrepreneurship has been romanticized this last decade with hustle porn and Silicon Valley’s mentality, but there’s nothing wrong with being a corporate employee where they hopefully pay you perfectly well.

Each have their advantages and disadvantages, and it really comes down to personal preference.

significant adverse impact on the University community

Should the school have the ability censure a student who posts openly hateful things on Twitter? I think they should; in my opinion, it's not different from shouting those hateful things at passersby on the campus lawn.

Should the school have carte blanche power to monitor all social media communication by students? Probably not. But where to draw the line is tricky.

Another problem is that University administrators with this level of power are not necessarily neutral, disinterested regulators. In the current political climate, it is absolutely feasible that the definition of "adverse impact" could change shape and size depending on who is causing the adverse impact. The example in the blog post is telling.

> Everyone consumes, and rich people consume less than poor people relative to their wealth.

Which, of course, means that all this talk about blaming the rich are a distraction from one unavoidable thing: since most of the consumption comes from ordinary people and not the rich, any substantial decrease in consumption has to come from them too. It's the ordinary masses that will lose the ability to travel abroad (and probably be limited in their ability to travel within their own country), who won't be able to see their friends and family so much anymore, who will lose a lot of the daily comforts of life. Blaming the rich can't change that. Guardian headlines about how "just 100 companies" are responsible for most emissions based on counting all emissions from the fossil fuels produced by them as their emissions, regardless of whether they're being burnt in everyone's cars and to heat everyone's homes, won't change that either. All it does is hopefully distract blame from the activists trying to take things away from everyone.

I'm certainly not going to tell you how to vote, but as a heads up this particular article seems to be factually incorrect.

As far as I can tell (and I'm asking for clarifications from people, in case I've misunderstood something) the headline is not supported by the linked document, and the key sentences from the article are not supported by the linked document.

The words "monitor", "mandate", "surveillance", and "social media" don't appear anywhere in this policy change. I can't find anything in the linked policy "that mandates the monitoring of the social media exchanges and other 'conduct' of its students".
Yes, it's worked for them with all the caveats you mention.

And their planes are not that old (I think they have focused on the 717) but are migrating to the A220 (previously C-Series). Also you can pick and choose which routes support each plane best.

You don't need the latest flashy thing to have a good service, at the same time, planes that are too old have worse reliability (just ask AA about their cancellations).

Please don't call it "paranoia": a whole lot of vulnerabilities have been found in CPUs together with plenty of undocumented functions that look just like backdoors.

On top of that, it is well known that governments research or buy 0-day hardware and software vulnerabilities and keep them secret to be used as weapons.

ME is just a fraction of the attack surface. When I read the title of the article I thought "trustworthy" was about mitigating hardware vulnerabilities.

At this stage it's practically impossible. :(

Because people have neither time nor money for any of this. Most of the population worries about short-term things like "having food on the table", "keeping that job", "keeping myself healthy", "giving my children a better future, so that their lives aren't as hard as mine".

We've just signed a new contract with our electricity provider in Poland. Renewable usage didn't even enter the discussion - none of us even realized there's a choice there. Only when reading the details of the agreement I realized the provider is committing themselves to deliver electricity from renewable sources. So now, I'm powering my computer with green energy, and so is likely my entire neighbourhood. Not because any of us made that choice - it's because the power company did.

Systemic incentives are what's needed to save us. Getting a power company to go green is much more cost-effective than trying to make an equivalent number of consumers to switch individually.

Pre-crime! Just have the police harass the people most likely to commit crimes, then put them in jail for increasingly long times as their criminal record gets progressively longer.

At least you understand that a lot of American policing is deliberately abusing poor people and minorities who aren't doing anything wrong, under the assumption that later they'll do something wrong.
That is a good observation. Nothing so bad for me (except 15 years battling) but I had always assumed everyone with a higher education was more or less decent, until my breakup at 23. I’m 38.

The violence of it stunned me. And the worst violence, is that everyone is fine with what women do to men at breakup - when the same people would be up in arms if a male were a “pervert narcissist” telling truths in a vexating way, while they don’t mind that my girlfriend asked me to move to another country only to dump me there without notice, without remotely thinking that I would be homeless for 3 days and it was winter, and would be too disoriented to recover abroad or to choose to come back. I know, expecting people who say “I love you” to mildly care for you after breakup is a childish expectation. I… I didn’t know. I had been fed popular songs usually saying “We broke up but I wish you the best”. I didn’t know someone who loved me could suddenly make me homeless because I wasn’t pleasing her in bed anymore. This is violent. And society is fine with that, and people don’t tell that normal girls might do that, while they warn all the time about pervert narcisssists.

For 15 years I oscillated between good person, gay, misogynist, or worse, and cut ties with 98% of my friends and all my family. But clearly, my mental model of people’s interactions is a swamp: I both understand nothing of why people are unnecessarily mean gratuitously, and both understand very clearly that we are pieces of meat. I could now strangle kittens without any feeling right now, and yet I don’t do that and still donate to charities, because I try to believe in a world of decent people. Which the world clearly is not. My mental model is a swamp, this is correct.

Sorry for going out of topic.
> I can't find "social media" or any form of a "mandate" to "monitor" social media in the document.

You're correct. Digging deeper, I find no mention either. The title is factually incorrect. I will make updates to my comment to reflect this so as to avoid providing false information. That said, this sort of action is still deeply concerning given that someone can now bring social media posts and speech to the attention of the university for sanction.
I've owned an Outback and an XC70. I vastly preferred the latter, despite the cost. It could hold an amazing amount of stuff (partially due to the more boxy rear with fewer protrusions), far more than the Outback.

The XC70 was also amazing to own in the city. It was like driving a mountain goat. There were many times where I was able to parallel park in an uncleared spot in the winter.
Kinda. US law requires the airframe to be sold separate from the engines. But each engine fitted to the airframe has to be done in a unique way as they have different operating characteristics. Even if you enforce consistent hard points, it's not as trivial as unbolting one and putting another one on there.

For example, the 767 had RR, GE, and P&W engine choices. But almost nobody bought the RR option, which turned all the NRE that Boeing and Honeywell did into a sunk cost. On the flip side, the stable mate 757 was almost exclusively RR engines.

If this is going to happen, then what I would expect to see is that COMAC will launch with engines from a western manufacturer and then maybe sell a refit kit (or just do the refit work themselves) later.
I don’t dislike fashion because I’m a humble bragging genius. I dislike it because I think it’s bad for the world. It preys on and fuels women’s insecurities to sell them throwaway products made by borderline-enslaved Cambodians. A guy making $1.63 billion doesn’t change that — the mentality that “it makes money so it’s good” is precisely the sick mentality behind this whole blight upon the world. I know you are right that there is more growth in this industry, but that growth is going to make the world a worse place.

How to Passively or Actively Invest in Sneaks with Only $1k
You can design a hardware ptu that when given a quat it figures out its own ypr to arrive at that orientation. That would make quats feasible for hardware.

However, how the Ypr was picked by the hardware must be explicitly encoded as an assumption that must be part of every conversion from quat to ypr that happens downstream.

Twitter India is a cesspool. Political parties spend so much energy asking tweeting against each other, you would think Indians have a large presence on Twitter and would care about such things. But the reality is that Twitter has the smallest footprint in India among the major social networks. I wouldn't be surprised if a double digit percentage of Twitter India users were affiliated to one of the political parties.
The problem isn't necessarily web developers, or certainly not all web developers. Thanks to constant penny pinching, very little gets developed from scratch in-house anymore - instead everything is put together using a myriad of third party code (often cheap third party code) that does things in very opinionated ways, meaning all of their dependencies become your dependencies, and every time you add another third party lib you get more dependencies. So you end up with a gigantic base of dependencies - none of which can easily be eliminated because its just a giant house of cards.

The alternative is every shop building their own functionality from scratch, with the result being 100s of competing libraries all doing very similar things but slightly different.

What needs to happen is the same as in most industries - end users / customers needs to realise the real cost of things and pay that full price. No more cheapest possible solutions. No more making do with lowest common denominators. Pay more money for better solutions.
It is my understanding that this is why China is developing their own cryptocurrency, to be able to track all uses (and users) of it. The Wall Street Journal reported on it:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-creates-its-own-digital-c...

That applies to uses inside China and outside China. I can see the NSA/USA wanting to do the same, as well as all the other countries in the world. This might be what actually kills all cryptocurrencies unless it becomes mandated that all citizens use it, which could lead to many outside a country having to also use it. But maybe there will be ways to scramble the tracking? Or maybe not, anyone looked at the design of China's cryptocurrency?
The code doesn't mention social media or monitoring at all, so it's up to your imagination. If you think they're monitoring the fediverse, why not, I guess they could be. It is publicly accessible.

Are you saying corporations are acting immorally?

I think we should impose more of society's morals onto corporations. If we are disgusted by selfish behavior in an individual, why are we not disgusted by a coordinated group of individuals showing the same behavior?
> Look, actively monitoring social media is weird but the general policy that what you say outside of work or school can affect you in work or school is a good thing. This kind of policy is necessary any time people don't have a choice of who they interact with.

As far as I can tell, there's no active monitoring of social media mentioned anywhere in the linked document that is used as a source.
Eh.

First of all, "silence" historically has been and continues to be an avoidance tactic for dealing with racism. So there is truth in the saying.

Second, the people taking this idea to extremes are a vocal minority. It's easy to see someone get canceled on Twitter and jump to the conclusion that the Red Army is right around the corner. I'm not that worried in the long run. Be understanding, but push back, and remember that some people will always be jerks no matter what the context or what ideals they find themselves aligned with.
> At the same time I have little sympathy for "I made a public post on the internet under my own name for all to see, and other people saw it!" type situations.

Fully agree.

At this point, it is valuable to ask yourself: Is this a public forum? If yes, would I be okay for my comment to appear on NYT's front page?

If not, consider posting to a private group instead.
The 777 was enabled by the new, super high powered GE-90s. The size of those engines needed to be taken into account at the initial design.

Or, to kick HN's favorite Boeing whipping boy, the 737 MAX can't have new engines, only improved SNECMA ones, because the knock-on effects of changing the nacelle size/location would be such that you might as well design a new airplane.
Except...the University in this case hasn't said that they are going to actively monitor social media. As far as I can tell from the linked policy document, there's no mention of monitoring of social media anywhere in the document.
"This post makes me feel unsafe"
What you are describing is not equanimity, because there is an attachment to not working/relaxing. When you ask why not just lie down and die if you are content with everything, you could just as easily ask why not work really hard if you are content with everything? Because if you really have equanimity, working hard would cause no less contentment and no less suffering.

A big part of mindfulness is narrowing down your reality to only this moment, because that is really all that's real. The past isn't real and the future isn't real. It's not about accepting "your life" because that's not actually a real thing. Right now is all that is. All context is actually fully contained in this moment. So one can accept and be at peace with what is happening right now and see it for what it is, then, thus informed, make and follow a plan. But each moment has it own independent meaning and is an ending in itself. There is no final goal because it's always right now, so the rational approach is to always pay attention to what IS.
