my posts were also recently banned (0% of the time showing up when submitted now - and am playing by rules now + something quite unique & useful in a niche space)

know that’s not necessarily a HN site guideline req., but when you censor premature, you sometimes kill sincere & nascent attempts at innovation (especially when really not too big on SM)

in essence: “too bad” is the sentiment. (won’t participate now?)

sometimes feels like when you want to have a discussion, even here, haters jump on and attack while missing Big Picture of what could be

There is probs no more local / friendly zone of “super - smarties” than the folks on HN

and it’s too bad when peeps attack or “no second-chances” censored for, in the scheme of things, minor infractions, instead allowing / offering chance for growth + the innovative-kind of-discourse that seems sometimes here is owed here / could be (at least moreso than arguing or just casual convo)

also, not saying Dang & crew have an easy job keeping Quality up & don’t know what they go through daily obvi (HN really is one of the greatest imo) but it sucks when you’re learning & creating & not perfect on site guidelines

Everyone’s loss when you’re banned on a platform that could help build a better future
Nobody should be forced to use an amateur, certainly. I'm saying that if you can't afford a professional repair, you want the amateur to have access to the best information available, whether that person is you or someone else.
yes, but nah.

the reason the US has such high healthcare is because healthcare is both private and paid-by-insurance.

a lot of other nations have free healthcare, both in the american continent and in Europe.

As an audiophile, I'm always interested in the mainstream TOTL products.

I think the following quote sums up my expectations: "I’m still not convinced that anyone can truly duplicate the over-ear headphone experience in a pair of buds — the form factor is just too limited for now."

And yet, the cost is a drop in the bucket for what I spend on audio, and I am going to own a pair, even knowing they won't satisfy me. I just have to hear and compare. Maybe they will replace my airpod pros? Doubtful, only because I only listen to music on my 2 channel hifi, and podcasts on my portables. Airpod Pros are a perfect comfort match. I just leave them in for hours at a time, listening or not.

But I'm genuinely excited to own a pair of these. Maybe they can find a place I my life biking trails, or late at night when I want to watch a movie.

Moreso, I want to know where the normies audio life rests.

Washington also has a lookup page here: https://webgis.dor.wa.gov/taxratelookup/salestax.aspx

That also shows it changing, but not as frequently (and always has it in location code 1401, whereas the ZipRates files have that zip sometimes in 1400 and sometimes 1401).

There is also the short format files (just change the "E" in the name to "C" to get them), which give yet another story. They put 98520-6503 in location 1400 or omit it completely. When they include it, they match the rate from the long files.
I wouldn't say it's all or nothing. Several of the more regressive countries already demand access to decryption keys. The government gets easy access to the data but it's still hard for the non-state bad guys to intercept.
> I'd rather just have a movie or narrative

Open world games _are_ the equivalent of movies or narratives. think Skyrim, for example.
Is anybody advocating for them or encouraging them in any way?

I can’t think of a single group which aims to highlight men, uplift men, and encourage masculine behavior.

These guys grew up in a school system of almost entirely women teachers, and popular media tells them that if they are successful in any way, it is due to oppression.

It’s no wonder why they’re not succeeding. We spent the last 15 years telling them that their success is evil. Who are their role models supposed to be exactly?
> Eventually we ended up with a notion that everyone should go to college and this has been buttressed with government support but what if this idea is wrong?

I think the problem with this line of thinking is that since the US is a highly-developed country, we depend on having a well-educated, highly productive workforce in order to maintain our economy. The US is no longer a place where you have large numbers of people working in huge low-tech factories, for example, because the productivity of those factories does not afford the living standards of a highly-developed country. Instead, developed countries perform R & D and need highly-skilled workforces. To the extent we have manufacturing, it tends to be highly-automated advanced processes. Again, automation is enabling high worker productivity here.

It seems like the issue may be misallocation of the education being produced, not too much education in general.
I've seen this before, and I think it's ridiculous to assume that there's some arbitrary cutoff about top 10 colleges. Why is not percentile based?

For reference, there's 12 Houses at Harvard. With a bit of paperwork, they could each be a separate college, pushing Dartmouth all the way down completely out of the top 20. But would the education at Dartmouth have gotten worse in any way?

Rephrased, what if we instead classify the Ivy League as a single college with eight campuses? What's the difference?
I obviously don't know this person at all, but from what I know of how Social Security disability works, 22 is a really unlikely age to qualify. Are you sure it wasn't slightly earlier or later?

To be eligible in your own right, you have to have paid into Social Security for a total of 40 quarters before becoming disabled. Given child labor laws, it's rare that you could accumulate enough quarters before age 26 or so.

The other way is to be eligible on a parent's social security, as a "disabled child", which is defined as someone who became disabled before age 22. If you suffered a permanent disability at age 21, and have a parent who paid enough into SS to be eligible, you can receive "child" benefits from their account even as an adult: https://www.ssa.gov/benefits/disability/qualify.html#anchor7

This leaves an unfortunate gap for people who genuinely become permanently disabled due to an accident or medical condition that happens around age 22-25, because they can't qualify through either route.

What counts as a supplier as far as California is considered? If someone sells a non-functional piece of equipment via Ebay, how does that work?

> the reason the US has such high healthcare is because healthcare is both private and paid-by-insurance.

Lots of countries have combined public/private systems and get equal or better results with lower per capita and per GDP expenditure than the US.

The US has expensive healthcare because it has an exceptionally poorly designed public/private system, not because it has a public/private system.

You've missed massive oil price shocks, the least controversial and most quantifiable.

It's also notable how many of the wage effects really took off in the 1980s, when there were a lot more dramatic policy shifts.
this is just a convoluted way to access information.

Imagine the use case you want to apply a filter to all your photos.

Either you give service provider access to all your photos, or they give you access to run the code out of their control.

There's no way to compromise this.

For this reason SOLID is pointless too. It is just a fancy way to saying "everyone will pay for their own S3 bucket and give access to random directories to random companies, oh and pay for the entire bandwidth"
Ah, I see. Well. I disabled that the first time I installed Windows 10, back... I don't know how many years ago. It's still disabled.

Also, maybe the fact that I uninstalled all pre-installed apps I knew would never use made it so I skipped out on future weather widgets. I don't have a weather app for instance, because I'll just look out my window instead.

There is a fun triplet in Italian:

anello (ring, think annular)

anno (year, think annual)

ano (anus)

all come from the Latin word for ring: the year because of the repetition of seasons and the anus, well, because of its shape.
Definitely a symptom and not a cause. Like people that drink heavily in university then don't later once they have obligations.

My university roommate played video games nonstop. Then he graduated, got a job (as a video game developer) and has a wife and three kids. It's like any addiction, its filling a void, but the object of abuse is not what's to blame.
You're not. Approximately 25% of SQL Server EULA text deals with ways in which the warranty is limited. The best the license gives you is your money back if you prove that it was the software's fault.

Of course, you can always sue. A $2T company. Good luck with that.
An interesting attack could be executed by an automaton that encrypted the payload such that the victim could trust that if they paid a ransom to some address before $my_fave_cryptocoin hit block #X then the key would never be revealed. If they didn't pay it, the key would be revealed to the attacker.

Pretty funny how important trust is in the existing ransom marketplace. But the current market is about restoring operations by recovering inaccessible data. EA didn't lose anything here but would likely prefer that no one else get access.

I think this is a pretty key question that also applies to any effort by any other commercial provider. The detail in the historical models in EU4, any of Ubisoft's games, etc., is fantastic. I'd love to see any of them make stripped-down versions of their geodata available through open data licensing. Maybe there's something we've missed in the EU4 modding that could be of use? We'll take another look!
Just finding Latin verbs and adding different prefixes is also a fun way to find etymologically related words. Some examples: (English is not my native language, so I don't know how obvious they are to native English speakers / people who didn't learn some Latin in school.)

iacere = to throw
* inject: to throw in (could be a vaccine injection, or e.g. data injected in a program)
* eject: to throw out
* reject: to throw back
* abject: to thow away => cast aside => despicable ("abject coward") => miserable ("abject poverty")
* conjecture: something thrown together
* interject: to throw inbetween
* subject: throw under => something placed underneath something else ("a British subject", the subject of a sentence, "subject to terms and conditions", the subject of a paper)
* object: thrown against/facing => to expose => something tangible/material
* objective: a material object => not influenced by emotions but based on observed facts
vs subjective: subject to emotions/personal opinions
* objective: thrown against/facing => goal
* trajectory: to throw accross
* project: to throw forth
* adjective: to throw towards => something added/additional => an adjective
* jet: a "throw" => a jet e.g. of water => a spout that jets
=> jet engine => a jet (plane with jet engines)
=> jet set (lifestyle of people that can travel for pleasure)

legere = to choose, to collect/gather, to read
* elect, elective (optional), elite ("chosen out"), 1337 (= leet, from elite), elegant
* select
* collect
* lecture, college, lector, lectern, lesson
* neglect
* intellect, intelligent (originally "discerning", literally "choose between")
* diligent (to choose apart)
* legion (a collection of soldiers in the Roman army, now also meaning "numerous")
* legend: "that which must be read"

Who would've thought the words 1337, elegant, lesson, and legend are related? Or superjet and adjective?
PERSONAL RANT YOU DON'T NEED TO READ, BUT I NEED TO WRITE:

I will add something to your son's point: being independent from my family was more important to me than saving money, especially if their loans are only 4 years away from being paid off. In fact, it bootstrapped all kinds of good behaviors around how to socialize with others, make friends, find a job, fix my own toilet, do laundry, pay taxes, find a new hair stylist, shop for clothes, etc etc etc.

It gave me the independence to move even further, and find work paid literally 10x more in a few years. No amount of saving would make up for that.

I can't imagine how much more stagnate my life would be if I had done the "smart thing" and put my life on pause instead of doing what I wanted from the get go. Death is much less stressful to think about when you're living aligned with your goals and values.
For most shipments in the weight categories I use, USPS is the least expensive. It's as reliable as Fed Ex or UPS in my experience. I do go into the post office fairly regularly, and have a PO box as well. Everyone's nice enough, they can answer pretty much any question you have. They're experienced, career employees, rather than franchisees. Yes, you usually have to wait in line for some things, but they have kiosks for simple tasks.

I'm sure others will have had other anecdotal experiences, both bad and good, that's just the nature of a large organization. I've lived in several different cities over time and USPS has been consistently fine.

James Dobson once said about a similar scenario, "your son doesn't have a problem, _you_ have problem." Meaning providing lodging and meals for someone who refuses to work is actually enabling on the part of the parents.
> Faculty members at prestigious universities are 50 times more likely than the average person to have a parent with a Ph.D. American meritocracy has become a complex, inefficient, and rigged system conferring its graces on ambitious children of highly educated and prosperous families.

What’s the ratio in other fields of top achievement for kids to follow in their parents’ footsteps? It’s entirely unsurprising that academics raise academics, doctors doctors, Olympians Olympians, teachers teachers, etc.

It’s equally unsurprising that the ambitious children of highly educated and prosperous families themselves pursue such a similar path and achieve similar outcomes. I’m an engineer and my spouse a scientist. Our kids have commensurately higher chance to pursue one of those or a closely related field due to exposure and biases.
These are all plausible arguments for associating real estate ownership with a database. What are the arguments for this database being maintained by a blockchain?

If you do not trust the authorities of the locality, e.g. the courts, to properly assign ownership and, more importantly, to defend your claim of ownership through further legal action, then how do you trust the blockchain implementation with its share of elected people and override mechanisms to do the same?

> Yes, it's not ideal that someone can override the ownership [...] Yes, allowing ownership overriding isn't ideal, but I don't think allowing a group to override ownership in a transparent way completely negates all benefits [...]

The assertion already is that mutability and reversibility are necessary and desired properties under the assumption that mistakes and mis-assessments happen, whether through human error or technological failure. The question is, what benefit does a blockchain bring over a regular database under this requirement?

> Ethereum will be moving to proof of stake in a year or 2 (> $10B are locked up until this occurs, so I am very confident it will happen).

I know proof-of-work down to the very detail, I have not yet looked at proof-of-stake. If proof-of-stake exists, and does not share the same problem of massive inefficiency (directly or indirectly), then I still think that a classical database solves these problems more easily, but I cease to care what solutions stakeholders choose. Proof-of-work, on the other hand, makes me and everyone else an unwilling participant in this scheme through unnecessary, and growing, consumption of energy and resources.
Without economic growth we’d still be hunter gatherers. Growing crops allowed people to have excess food and support classes of people whose occupation was non-food related. The industrial revolution not only allowed for mass production but the Haber process by which fossil fuels are turned into fertilizer. Without it we would only be able to feed half the world.
Life without bitcoin: one can watch as the value in the output of ones labor encoded in fiat decreases over time, punishing saving and devaluating our lives work; or One can opt-out of this and store it in something that does not, and rewards saving.
It also has the benefit of security, integrity, audit ability, censorship resistance, transferable over arbitrary communication channels, etc.
Most folks live paycheck to paycheck, and so don’t feel savings inflation and the cruelty that this implies.

This has been invented. If it didn’t exist now for some reason, it would significantly decrease quality of life — I would be powerless to watch my saving erode into nothing. I would be powerless when the state decided it wanted to adjust interest rates to be negative (again, attacking saving). I would be powerless when any state decided that another state should be disconnected from the legacy financial networks. I would be powerless when they payment card networks started enforcing morality de jour. It would be like being arrested - some liberty taken from the individual and make them beholden to the state.

They call it being “orange pilled”. Once you get it, there is no other option to avoid growing poor slowly.

There is a large supply of scholars and teachers ready, willing, and able to work. Public universities, colleges, community colleges, and HBCUs have for decades been starved. The Biden family understands public education, and Jill Biden is an educator. With something like a Works Project Administration program to bring arts and sciences education to Americans, the administration could restore democratic education in the U.S.

This makes the mistake of accepting that college is about education. It isn’t. If it were those that barely graduate college and those that barely flunk out would have about the same outcomes, having learned about the same amount. They have very different outcomes because college is about the endless treadmill of credentialism.
