I am not. I don't think the GOP definition of conservatism admits conservative socialism.

You definitely can be a conservative liberal. The American society by and large is founded on liberal principles. All you have to do to be a conservative liberal is to stick to 18th-19th century liberalism, in being a so-called "classical liberal".

I agree that the GOP is reactionary more than conservative.

If you ask someone if they had a nice weekend and they give a one-word response, why not just not ask them questions like that? It seems rude to expect someone to put a certain amount of effort into conversation with you that you initiated.
This one is fake for me too since they had to add a screen and other stuff. Meh, I prefer my Doom runs on X to mean that X wasn't modified or beefed up.

Yes, it is plausible, but logically impossible.
Yes that is true. I wish my induction stove allowed more fine tuning of the temperature as well.
Fox news personalities frequently allow Trump and his allies airtime where they lie about losing the election to Biden. I don't know how you get any less truthful than that
Transcript: Ezra Klein Interviews Sam Altman
What about encrypting their files, threatening to leak documents with PII, and making them buy Bitcoin?
While Gates was richer than Jobs, once you're in the $100B vs. $10B, you're mostly in the keeping score category. Woz is apparently worth about $100M which is still in the you can buy pretty much anything you want category. So I would say yes.

On the other hand, someone who is worth, say, $10M or $20M is obviously still quite wealthy. But not necessarily in the doesn't need to think twice about hopping on a private plane or owning a private island category.
It has always been that way
Not sure what makes you evoke such a strong reply. If it's something I said, then I apologize.
Anything that starts "In Canada, ..." is generally suspect. Canada is a confederation. Most things are in the purview of the provinces, so there's rarely a globally applicable rule. Canada does not have a single healthcare system, but thirteen separate provincial and territorial healthcare plans.

You're not guaranteed to be covered for 6 months. If you leave permanently and settle within Canada, BC will cover you for the remainder of the month plus two months (enough time to establish residency in the destination and get coverage). If you leave the country, you are covered for the remainder of the month.

If it's a temporary leave, however, several of the provinces do cover you outside of the province, and many will extend your coverage for quite a long time depending on the circumstances. BC allows you to retain coverage for a 2 year trip during every 5 year period. They also (like many provinces) will extend your coverage as long as you're in school full time in another location.
Do you have password nostalgia?
I have found a password that has last been changed in 2008. It is the password of a fairly important account, so I should change it, because it is not the best password.

At the same time, I feel bad about changing this password that has been with me for so long. Especially since I didn't pick this password. My mother who passed away chose this password when she set up my account. It sort of feels like it's the last thing I have from her.

I am conflicted about mitigating a security risk and holding on to a piece of digital nostalgia.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Many do it by 38-42. Less and less likely to happen, given what's transpired in the last decade or 2.
Mostly I mean: walk into a store, grab a few things off the shelf, and pay with bitcoins—the way cash is used.

If I use any current digital forms of payment, someone is watching/recording the transactions and pairing them with my ID for some ad campaign.

Oh and: I should be able to stroll up to a traffic light and be able to donate some BTC to a homeless person via Bluetooth without getting out of my car (so I don’t give them COVID)
> I can’t imagine most of the leaders in Home Assistant would share this attitude, but maybe I’m wrong.

I'm afraid they do[1] (that's from the project founder, and current CEO of the company supporting HA development).

Another good tactic.
Jonathan Haidt (who is mentioned in the article) did a study years ago. He separated a group of people into conservatives and liberals and then gave them a questionnaire on politics. Then he got a second group, separated them, and gave them the same questionnaire. Only he asked the second group of liberals and conservatives to answer the questionnaire the way they imagined the other side would.

What he found was that conservatives had no trouble answering the way liberals do. However, liberals could not do likewise. Liberals frequently chose the red herrings on the multiple choice questions, the ones that exaggerated the conservative positions to the point of more or less demonizing conservatives.

That's why we're talking about Fox News, don't you see? CNN and MSNBC are just folks. Fox News is the Anti-Christ.

Even the article itself has this same smell of bias about it.
This "e mail" thing sounds intriguing. How does the "e mailman" know where to deliver this "e mail", and do I need "e stamps"?

Has anyone told you they are really happy about it? I haven't heard someone say that. Most users have no idea about it.
Yeah, depending on your climate, a heat pump can have a Coefficient of Performance [1] of like 3.5. If you don’t take this into account and just take “natural gas in therms => kWh” it often seems like a heat pump would be a large increase. Divide by 3 and it’s suddenly much better :).

How is that a falsehood? The daughters of the confederacy pushed the "civil war was about state's rights" narrative that is still taught across the South.

> In any case, the Economist is not any worse than any other mainstream publication. Often they do pretty good reporting. But you absolutely must not rely on it solely especially for foreign reporting where you don't have bearings.

I think this is perhaps misguided. It's not fair to the economist to compare an article on, eg. politics in Brazil, against the nuanced understanding that a Brazilian citizen would have, because most people from North American with no other ties to Brazil would have no frame of reference.

In other words, the choice is not, a simplified version of the issues vs a nuanced understanding, it's a simplified understanding of the issue vs none at all.
The nutrition point is so difficult to evaluate - a lot of personal variation, many anecdotes, few good scientific studies, a lot of subjectivity and misattribution, people getting fired up online and turning it into ideology... it's very difficult to figure out what's true and what actually works for you.
> WWF was eventually pressured into changing their name to the WWE

There was no pressuring over intent. The World Wildlife Fund owned the rights to WWF and sued.

If you want a walk down the maths involved - check out an app called Strelok (Pro) by Igor Borisov. I have no affiliation with this person or this app, other than I use it for extra-long-distance shooting calculations with a conventional rifle and/or air-rifle shooting calculations.

It's seriously astounding the math and thought that goes into shooting at long range. It makes me realize why I used to miss all the time as a kid; it's not just point and shoot.
Is that surprising? You can cook up an electron app after a few tutorials and two weeks time. All you have to do is sell a product, the product can be junk if you can convince your buyers otherwise. Charisma gets more funding than technical expertise, because consumers buy on charisma.

Yet the author is an admin on the HomeAssistant community forum, one of only 6. Presumably his other contributions to the project justify those privileges, and he did not shut down the passive-aggressive thread some nixOs folks started there, it was another admin (the founder of HomeAssistant).

This sucks for nixOs, but it looks like community incompatibility means they won’t be able to support HomeAssistant at all.
It's important to remember that electricity isn't an energy source, it's an energy medium. This seems trivial, but seems to be a blind spot for people who, for instance, try to set up comparison between electricity and fossil fuels. The comparison doesn't make sense when one is an energy source and the other merely a medium.

Generating electricity is a bit of a misnomer, because it's more about repackaging energy than creating it. Again, this is trivial but easy to lose sight of. The important question is: what's the energy source?
The scarequotes are certainly inappropriate unless it's CC0 licensed, but you do point out that he's explicitly granted a license "for it to be used by anyone". Which seems... of some relevance here.
My key take away from that video was moving from goal intentions to implementation intentions.

"in situation x, I will do behavior y, to achieve subgoal z"

good stuff.
I think perhaps the reason enlightened centrism gets its reputation is because there is no well-formed critique.

There is a vague reference to the awfulness of both sides, it's never really described in depth or weighed, and then you end with the blithe "and that's why i'm a centrist."

Even in this comment, both sides are terrifying cesspools, maybe - so what are the concrete things that you are afraid of if each of the groups gets power?
In totally agree but in the case where the Nix maintainers don’t think the author’s reasons are good enough (which happened) that’s where we’re left with “because I said so and I control the license.”
>Also, there were clear links between the trump campaign and Russia, including some that led to arrests of his folks

Name one Trump person who was arrested (let alone convicted) for something actually, directly related to Russiagate.

Papadopoulos: Indicted for making a false statement to FBI.

Manafort and Gates: Indicted for not registering as foreign agents of Ukraine (which, you might have noticed, is sort of an enemy of Russia right now)

Flynn: Indicted for making a false statement to FBI. (Forced by lack of legal fees into pleading guilty, which later caused problems when the government tried to drop charges.)

Pinedo (Who? Exactly): Indicted for identity fraud.

van der Zwaan: Indicted for making false statements (and not an American, anyway).

Cohen: Indicted for making false statements.

Stone: Indicted for making false statements and witness tampering.

Then we have people like Carter Page, whose name was raked over the coals for years because a FBI lawyer intentionally altered evidence (<https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/09/us/politics/fbi-ig-report...>) showing that far from being a Russian asset, Page had for years briefed the CIA every time he met with suspicious Russians. (Got to love how the Times describes said altering evidence as a "serious error".) You want an actual Russiagate-related indictment and guilty plea? Kevin Clinesmith, said FBI lawyer, is your man.
Hey Hacker News,

if you contributed to nixpkgs in the last months you have probably seen me already but for the people that don't know me already: I am Sandro, one of the more active reviewers and contributors of NixOS/nixpkgs in the last months.

If you have any question about the situation or NixOS in generally feel free to drop me a comment and I try to answer them to the best of my knowledge. I can't speak for the entire NixOS organization so all my comments on this thread are my own views. I also do not receive any benefits from this in form of money or something else.
They absolutely mixed and matched during that transition. People involved just usually agree on direction, and when they don't new projects spring up.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me at all actually. I'm sure both side demonize the other to some extent, and it's our natural reaction to look at them both as equally bad like we're disciplining two siblings or something, but it really seems that right now the left is more melodramatic in the demonization than the right. In my personal experience, quite a few people I've met seem to think if you disagree with them, you must be full of hate, racist, sexist, dumb, a gun slinging Christian, etc.
Ah I think you might be right with this case where someone will just google that. I am not doing that but prefer to go to the package manager list find there there the project URL.

I was thinking that people will do the same or else how will they know if the github repository returned from search results is truly the one installed?

This is beautifully captured. I work in a city I love (consider Charleston, SC - y'all) at a rate that puts me in a very similar position to myself. I'm so grateful to be able to have the space to not obsess over optimizing comp. I also like the knowledge/"feeling" that I can choose to focus on this in the future - and realize the benefits.
Maybe? Their thesis seems pretty straightforward though. Kraken deposits are uninsured. Kraken intends to invest your deposits in fixed income assets, which are vulnerable to capital losses if interest rates rise, among other things (e.g. corporate bonds). If these investments go negative, Kraken will have less than 100% reserves and there's no insurance to help customers, so the rational thing to do is withdraw all assets before others do.
I resigned from my company of 7 years back in April. I gave up life-changing amounts of money in order to leave.

I got super burnt out over the last year and there was not really another option imo. I had been working on my own company on the side and I feel immensely more recharged working on it. For people that have been sitting at home and not spending their salaries for the past year, that might be an appealing option.
Isn't this generally always the case?

I've always understood that when you buy you should expect to be paying more than a renter for maybe 5-10 years. At least in the US mortgage payments are almost always fixed whereas rents are almost never fixed or controlled.

Rent just rises forever in most cities and usually mortgage payments of people who have owned for 10 years look like amazing bargains.
Edwin from Stripe here. The two cases are actually very similar. If you want to avoid ID documents ever being stored on your servers, Identity makes it easy to do that. (Just as Elements/Stripe.js makes that easy for card numbers.) On the other hand, if you want to score card numbers or ID documents (and there are sometimes good reasons for doing this!), Stripe makes that straightforward.
Same. I have gas central heating and a gas stove. During the winter electricity is not 100% and is nice to have heating (with ups) or to make a hot tea.
Well, we will need to increase electricity generation while at the same time replacing existing fossil fuel generation. So that adds to the challenge.

Not saying this is impossible, but it surely is a challenge.
It Can’t Be Transitory
That is fascinating, thanks for sharing it. I hadn't heard of it, but then again, I don't have any interaction (that I am aware of, at least) with Jews -- everyone in my circle is a Christian or impersonates one.
If you are getting into clojurescript, take a look at shadow-cljs for the build tool. It provides a better experience than the built-in tooling IMO.
I have no specific opinions on the author really, but:

> Seems like an author that doesn't understand the spirit of FOSS.

The author states he understands the licensing and the project's rights to use his software earlier in the thread. He was simply making a request.

> Why is a person like this even engaged in FOSS if they don't have a desire to share or even engage in a reasoned discussion?

Again, he stated his reasons in the thread. He didn't want to have to potentially support their repackaged and/or old versions of his software. His software being OSS did not give up his right to make nuanced requests.

That said, the thread ended with something to the effect of "well, we can include instructions on how to install his software" -- an option which wasn't presented until the end, yet it fully complies with his request.
I love to cook (even did it professionally for a while), and I just don't get this complaint. If you have good (i.e. thick) pans, response times aren't instant no matter what your heat source. I find the difference between gas and electric to be basically unnoticeable.
In the pre-transistor times, radios were heavy and used a lot of energy. Even in WWII, field radios weighed about 35-40 pounds. A soldier with a radio could not carry a lot of other equipment.

Well, there are only two genders. So filtering by sex or gender is the same thing.
Here's an interesting article from a great blog that tries to use a game theory perspective to quantify your belief and makes a really interesting argument in agreement with you:

https://www.epsilontheory.com/things-fall-apart-pt-1/
- Roger Stone (he lied about his work with Guccifier 2.0, and wikileaks which was working as an arm of the Russian government)

- Paul Manafort (his work in Ukraine was done on behalf of Russia - I mean seriously read about the shit he did: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/apr/05/ex-trump-aid... - also linked with wikileaks, but not in the US election context afaik). And where did the former leader of Ukraine, Yanukovych, who Manafort propped up flee to when the shit he and Manafort did together came out?

- We know Jr attempted to get the Russian governments help and had a meeting in trump tower about it, that his dad helped him lie about (obstructing justice in the process)

I can understand the author not wanting to deal with extra noise. But they did try to accommodate them. Forking and changing the contact info is probably the best tactic. The author didn't like that, but is probably the best outcome.

Don't do open source (especially a very permissive licence) if you don't want others using your code as a dependency.
In that context he was talking about for future releases of the project, if the others in that thread forked the project right this minute, it would still be MIT.

"Now, could we find a similar article for Biden in Fox over the next 4 years? I would guess probably."

Biden's not the opposite of Trump either. Biden pleases some conservatives, which is why he got the nomination over Sanders, so that he'd stand a chance of winning over "undecided" (ie. right wing, but not extreme right wing) voters in battleground states. Many neocons are also fans of Biden, so I wouldn't be at all surprised to find support of him on FOX.

Now I'd be surprised to find any positive coverage of Sanders on FOX.. not to mention people who are really on the left like Noam Chomsky.
I'm aware of that, but I don't think that changes things much. They chose to call it "entertainment," when they could have called it any number of things. But at the time they had been under increasing criticism of the matches being fixed, etc.
It's actually not that bad. Regular meetings between global teams can be scheduled as any others are. People working internationally with people in the U.S. are already used to taking evening conference calls around convenient U.S. based meeting times. For east and west coast teams, in my experience they usually just adopt east coast hours, which the west coast people prefer because this means they avoid traffic entirely.
> If you aren't paying for your media sources, you're the product.

Even if you are paying, you can still be the product, as long as media can make even more money out of it. I mean, why wouldn’t they? More money is more money.
It is hardly plausible that a gas grid will be kept operating just for cooking. Generating the gas probably would even be feasible, as the amounts are likely small enough that they could be met with biomethane generated from waste, but operating the grid is unlikely.
Install solar on everyone's roofs. Subsidize it with money from property taxes. Make it mandatory for owners of rented buildings, and mandatory for businesses. That alone will easily meet all our projected energy requirements for quite a while.
This is probably a good article and I should read it.

I'll read it later.
I've seen several articles recently highlighting problems with gas stoves. Some of these are environmental critiques--gas needs to be retired to deal with climate change. Another critique is around indoor air quality:

"On the air-quality front, at least, the evidence against gas stoves is damning. Although cooking food on any stove produces particulate pollutants, burning gas produces nitrogen dioxide, or NO2,, and sometimes also carbon monoxide, according to Brett Singer, a scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who studies indoor air quality. Brief exposures to air with high concentrations of NO2 can lead to coughing and wheezing for people with asthma or other respiratory issues, and prolonged exposure to the gas can contribute to the development of those conditions, according to the EPA. Homes with gas stoves can contain approximately 50 to 400 percent higher concentrations of NO2 than homes with electric stoves, often resulting in levels of indoor air pollution that would be illegal outdoors, according to a recent report by the Rocky Mountain Institute, a sustainability think tank. “NO2 is invisible and odorless, which is one of the reasons it’s gone so unnoticed,” Brady Seals, a lead author on the report, says."

> He wants to avoid handling bugs that come from his project being packaged through other means.

From his conduct in the thread this seems a red herring. The nixos devs have proposed a selection of reasonable solutions to avoid any support burden on his part, all of which he's rejected outright.
What would you think the ideology of the Economist is and where in their website do you get that from? Just asking for the sake of argument.
I tried this, too and realized similar things. I then decided that I do not really care (at least not that much) about understanding which way each source wants to spin things. I instead want information about the world to form my own opinions.

I started reading international news. That is, focus on publications outside country X when reading about X.

Reports from Sweden, Korea, Russia and UK (thanks google translate!) translated into English, awkward wording and all, plus a minimal dose of CNN and Fox works better for me than a mix of American media. Just my 2c.

I might even wrap it up as a convenient page or app.
