The problem with getting your news from Reddit isn't just the democratic process, if I remember rightly the moderators of the default news subreddits outright spread partisan misinformation using them.
But how much of this social happiness is a result of riding on the coattails of the past? As the article points out: the past in Europe was great. Today's happiness is heavily influenced by yesterday. Today Europe is not as great. Will the Europe of tomorrow be as happy when the decisions made today carry the day?

Not only that. I tried the same approach, but one of our clients has some kind of VPN and the user’s IP address would change regularly.
>>>>"Most" boys play some kind of sport. I have to assume it's the vast majority.

There was a TED Talk a few years back from a US Army General about how the terrible physical fitness of America's youth is becoming a national security problem.[1] I think the "low quality" of adolescent males over the past 2 decades is partly behind the push for more women in the military: we have so few physically-fit high-testosterone males that we have to cast a wider net and recruit physically-fit, comparatively-high-T females; they are better than soft fatbody guys. If boys were seriously engaged in sports at the rates that you are suggesting, teen obesity shouldn't be so widespread.

In Finland it is illegal to give your bank login data to others, including scrapers.
One couple both got sentenced when the other used the bank login data left on table to order something online. Fraud for the other and neglegence of leaving the login data easily accessible for the other.

This is an excellent summary; thank you.

> ... no media outlet ever admitted that it had given incorrect advice... Instead, we see silent corrections that rewrite the past without admitting any kind of fault.

As I read this I was overcome with the realization that I have more discipline editing my 2-3 point HN comments--labeling new remarks, striking out original text instead of deleting it outright, and so on--than do professional journalists from the New York Times or Washington Post editing national news stories. Unbelievable... and unforgivable.
1. Because new companies create jobs.

2. People with jobs pay taxes. As do the companies themselves.

3. Taxes pay for social safety net?
> Millions of years of evolution gave us some men who are very strong, but very stupid.

Humans are very adaptable - millions of years of evolution has made human very smart and capable of adapting to large variety of changing circumstances.

> create a positive vision for stupid people

So it's the responsibility of society to educate them into something useful, but it's also partially their own responsibility to learn and become less "stupid" - aka, adapt.

Source? This has not been my experience at all in the tech industry.
Yes buy simplified, that is like saying, if you are doing well you are doing well, and if you are doing poorly, you are doing poorly.

I think it makese sense to consider, what is your disaster scenario? What would it take to go from doing well, to not do well? For example, a crippling accident that handicaps you so you can no longer make a living doing the thing you are specialized in today. How would you fare then? This counts to me as more important than whether I can afford this or that car, and so on.
your anecdotal evidence is quite entertaining. please continue.

Please do.
I was about to respond with something like "please don't edit titles" or something of the sort when I realized to whom I was responding.

Seems like a weird position; it's repeated so much because it's a massive problem that needs all of the attention it can get. I don't see why "repeating" anything is a reason to edit titles.
Something usually amiss with the current talk of universities is that they are an immigration racket.

Universities make most of its tuition money from foreign students, but foreign students go to american universities to get visas they can use to get into the labor market. The F1 visa is unlimited, contrary to the H1B one, and allows for a transition out of university.

Also for the H1B and multiple categories, one key criteria is having a college degree.

College Education: so valuable you need the law to justify they are worth something
It would be interesting data to compare the "fence value" against the "book value". Often infosec decisionmaking is argued based on value-at-risk, and while everyone knows you don't actually lose much if any of the value if someone leaks the sources, it's still used in some sufficiently brazen exaggerations.

It depends on the types and intensity of the pain. Annoying/sleep-interrupting pains: yes, severe pains: no. For moderately-severe pain, either use acetaminophen + ibuprofen + famotidine if you know the source for certain, or go to the ER. Actual, short-term severe pain requires a prescription medication such as an opiate.
If you say they should pay the costs, they should also reap the rewards, so in that case you have to accept that drugs are really expensive.
Giraffes can kick lions hard enough to kill them, or at least injure them enough to prevent lions from returning to effective hunting before starving to death.

In my very limited experience (4 or 5 day safari in Kruger), Giraffes are pretty shy, but you really want to avoid startling them or otherwise putting them in a situation where they feel a need to defend themselves or their young.

Otherwise I think they are also as irritated by needless UI changes, although they will rarely talk about it at length, because unlike more technical/power users they tend to rely a lot more on memorising where things are and "pattern matching" to navigate a UI.

They're the only industry that is on the bad side of the extremes of both political parties.

The left because of anti-trust and anti-ultra-rich sentiment, and the right because of perceptions of social media censorship.

If they were acting properly in their own cronyistic self-interest, they would've cozied up to the right. But the demographics of their employees precluded that.
The factually incorrect 1619 project won a Pulitzer Prize previously, so I’m not sure that it means much anymore. It could be that Buzzfeed News did excellent work here, but I also feel like the Pulitzer is an insular awards show that reflects biases inherent to the news industry.
My dad was a telecom salesman, I became a software engineer. I do remember seeing big stacks of dBase binders in his closet, and he taught me how to use a command line, but a developer he was not.
The major problem in EU is not really starting the companies. Most countries have ways to incorporate by filing a form and sending an email or two.

The problem though is financing, French investors for example are really stingy and you won’t get somebody to just throw a few millions at you to see if you succeed.

France has decided to build the “French Silicon Valley” multiple times by grouping schools and companies together, providing facilities and so on. But it always fails because there is no VC money pool.

If you start a company here, better think about profitability from the get go.

Because societies that promote innovation have higher quality of life and bless the entire world with technological advancement, while their own population benefits from lower prices, more goods, productivity growth, more jobs, more opportunity, and more fairness.

It's strange how quick people are to condemn monopolies and yet in the same breath insist that starting businesses is not a social good. Of course it's a social good, how do you think competition happens other than by starting businesses?
Depending on what you mean by "start-up", those are all unfortunately still nice-to-haves, not mandatory, for a functioning app. Having just finished a stint as the main dev at a startup, even commodities still take a reasonable amount of effort for a top tier group of 1-5 people to manage, let alone the team you happen to have at the time (meaning not top tier, looking at myself here heh). Roll that into "we got funding and it's growth time, no space for architecture changes", it's not hard to see the path to skipping out on some things that are considered basic for a new project at a medium-large scale company. So not really against what you say, just a note that the ideal doesn't always match the reality
First off, this looks like a nice project. So please take this as constructive criticism:

1. This really should have screenshots published. Especially when comparing with something polished like AirDrop, the UX is important. You even call this out as one of the features, so it's really odd not seeing the screenshots to support that statement.

2. "Uses state-of-the-art cryptography algorithm" isn't very reassuring. It would be nice to know what standards your using, maybe some details about the underlying protocol.

3. For Android, please consider publishing in Google Play or other stores. I'm not going to enable "untrusted sources" and install a random APK off the Internet.

I would turn the argument around and say that what we usually diagnose as ADHD or ASD are infact many different brain variations. Having for example ADHD doesn't mean your brain has any similiarity to another ADHD brain. The diagnosis does not involve physical brain measurements in any way

Guix is now in debian and apt-installable in ubuntu 21.04. Installation was the biggest hurdle, and there are still some quirks even with the debian installation--- you've got to set up your shell environment correctly to use it--- but in general it's super easy.
As an adult, one of the main observations about education is how little it showed me about what jobs are out there.

People pick degrees based on the advice of counselors who seem to know of 8 kinds of job, and half of them are not something you can advise a kid in a striving high school to follow (binman, factory worker, etc) .

It's actually nuts how people will do an internship and then decide this is the thing they want to do. Or they get a visit from someone at school and now they're gonna be an author.

If there's one thing we need in society, it's experiential information about jobs.

For instance I've known many people who went into management consulting. None of them think it has any value. If I was a kid I'd want to know that.

Accountants come across many types of business and are employable in many types of firms. The job is closer to a lawyer than many people expect, esp irl to tax. Your math degree is minimally useful.

Recruiters talk to people all day and are paid in proportion to the salary of the placed person.

Anyway those are just jobs that I don't do, and I know a tiny bit about them through contact with real world people.

Kids need these contacts.

One could argue that viewers count-driven news are just as democratic, except that people vote by viewing/opening/sharing links instead of clicking an upvote button.

Same goes for the echo chamber comment: Most newspapers are not bipartisan either. Reading Reddit is like reading a single source, in a way.
Meaningful to one's self and principles. In the sense that Viktor Frankl wrote about in "Man's Search for Meaning." Wherein he describes the survivors of the nazi concentration camps were the prisoners who had something personally meaningful to live for. People thrive if they have meaning in their lives.

If you can derive meaning from your career, that's great. Otherwise, family or contributing to society or whatever you think makes a difference in the world and is worth working toward.

Like everything, gaming is great in moderation, but the gamer who does nothing with their life but game is probably going to have some regrets on their deathbed.

If one thinks that self driving cars are scary. Imagine having Look ma! I improved the autopilot in my Tesla!! driving on public roads or being sold 2nd hand.

Car SW that can control the vehicle motion goes through very rigorous ISO processes, it's not something you just casually tinker with as an individual. Given its hard to visually inspect, one needs a way to understand if a car has been modified or not. This article also on the front page here yesterday explains the complexity and cost of integration verification https://spectrum.ieee.org/cars-that-think/transportation/adv...

Enabling serious third party aftermarket companies that have gone through same level of certification, nothing against that, but individuals, not so sure.
One option is to find some open source projects your interested and engage on their slack or IRC.
Disagree. It’s the mentality, not the vacation. My job in the US gives 5 weeks vacation per year. You are expected to disconnect and it’s embarrassing if email/text while on leave - people think you’re nuts.

But the work attitude is usually “lets do something cool”, “lets solve that problem”, “why can’t we be the best?” versus a work mentality of “i don’t think that will work” and “we’ll never get support for that idea” and “i can start on that after the holiday”.

I’m not knocking the lifestyle at all! If work is just a paycheck, then hats off to you. But don’t expect innovation and money to flow. It’ll go elsewhere.

That may sometimes be true the first times you write the random data (but in my experience it's often not true even then, and only if you carefully TRIMed the whole filesystem and it was mostly empty). But on later random writes it's rarely true, unless your randomness pattern of exactly the same as in the first run. To make room the FTL will (often in the background) need to read the non-written parts of erase blocks sized data assigned in the previous runs, just to be able to write out the new random writes. At some point new writes need to wait for this. Slowing things down.

Whereas with larger/sequential writes, there's commonly no need for read-modify-write cycles. The entire previous erase block sized chunks can just be marked as reusable with new content - the old data isn't relevant anymore.

This is pretty easy to see by just running benchmarks with sustained sequential and random write IO. But on some devices it'll take a bit - initially the writes are all in a faster area (e.g. using SLC flash instead of denser/cheaper mlc/tlc/qlc).

Of course, if all the random writes are >= erase block size, with a consistent alignment to multiples of the write size, then you're not going to see this - it's essentially sequential enough.
No, it's not as simple as that.
Finnish and the Slavic languages are the only ones in Europe that have a native word for "elephant". (Everyone else uses variants of the Greek "elephas" or Arabic "fil".)

The question is, why those two languages and only those two?

What's worse, the Slavic word dates to proto-Slavic times, it's one of the basic animal words like "deer", "rabbit", "cow", etc.!

I think the tragedy is that they would, deep in their hearts, rather not be playing games all day, ie they themselves would like to do something different but they can't find the bridge between what the world offers them and what they can offer the world.

If playing games all day was really their desire then yeah I'd agree with you.
Firefox 89 has hidden the "Compact" interface mode that makes the tab bar take up less vertical space than the "Normal" and "Touch" modes, and has marked it as an "unsupported" feature. It may be removed in the future. If you want to provide feedback on this, Mozilla has opened a forum and this is already the most popular topic:

What are you talking about? There are gyms at seemingly every travel stop on I-80 in Ohio and I can easily spin them passing by at highway speed as a passenger. They’re in range of several travel lanes because the gym dots are at the entrance door. They’re also not accidents because many are Starbucks promotions.

Do you mean “don’t accidentally create pokestops literally on the freeway?” As in, 12345 I-80 as an address? Because I can think of many counterexamples to what you’re saying here.
> societies that promote innovation have higher quality of life

Does the US have a higher quality of life than Germany, France or the Netherlands?

I agree that innovation is important and societies should promote it, but -imho- not at the cost of consumer & employee protection.
> "Lab-leak" is non-sensical in all forms which don't begin with "lab evolved/bioengineered"...

That's exactly the allegation circa March 2020 though: scientists collect various bat-borne coronaviruses (e.g. RaTG13) in Yunnan province around 2013, evolve one of them at the Wuhan Institute of Virology though gain-of-function research, and then due to lax safety protocols end up accidentally leaking an evolved virus in late 2019. For example, see this podcast from a year ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5SRrsr-Iug

The Value of Code
The first rule of rules of to not expect people to follow any particular rule!

There is nothing enforcing the mapping of one container to one service so people will have multiple if they find it convenient, or sometimes if they simply don't know the "rule".

A lot of people use containers as light weight VMs. Some use them as not so light VMs, in fact. In that case multiple services in one is practically expected.
Being distant from everyone physically allowed me to refine my circle to those who really matter, and I'm really grateful for that.

I blocked toxic friendships, erased all social media, erased many contacts, cleaned up my inboxes, etc. I keep in touch with my closest friends and any other work I'm doing. I think it's a big sanity saver to do periodic social spring cleaning.

I feel happier and at peace.
