So we're going to let incompetents govern incompetently for what exists and ask them to govern competently for NEW things? How peculiar.

Believing the government to be incompetent is a self-fulfilling prophecy:

- Only the incompetent or apathetic will choose to work for government and take the hit to their personal reputation.

- Underfunding leads to underperformance which leads to perceptions of incompetence which leads to underfunding.

- True incompetence, corruption, etc. start getting ignored as just "that's how the government is," so nobody tries to fix anything.

- Those who have a financial interest in reducing the capabilities of government will "starve the beast" and make it progressively more incompetent.

There are many functions of government that, though they could always do better, make the world better than it would be in their absence: fire departments, paramedics, infrastructure management (in areas where this is actually done reasonably well), utilities, financial crimes enforcement, agricultural and pharmaceutical quality enforcement, etc.

We're already pretty far down this road of destruction of competence, so I'm not sure how to turn things around, but that doesn't mean we have to keep driving forward into the land of feudalistic anarchocapitalism.

I totally disagree, Alex Jones is a satirist. His biggest contribution is being sometimes correct with his outlandish claims. And casting doubt of the corporate media narrative, which is often just as false, but presented as some sort of gospel, that must be accepted with ernest, and repeated with one voice.
They no longer do any ad personalization based on the contents of your email, and AFAIK, they never did for paying customers.

Obviously, other systems process the contents of your email, eg spam filter, the frontend displaying the email to you, and I assume the government can get access through legal warrants (the ethics of the secrecy of such actions is a different debate - Google is required to follow the law).
Ripgrep includes one of the most prominent algorithms from Hyperscan internally for some expressions.

Longer story: Ripgrep uses Rust's regex library, which uses the Aho-Corasick library. That does not just provide the algorithm it is named after, but also "packed" ones using SIMD, including a Rust rewrite of the [Teddy algorithm][1] from the Hyperscan project.

If you think that's not an argument in either direction, I don't know what to tell you.
I think that's a bit of a personal choice. I definitely prefer the current default of an exact match including case. Partially because I'm very familiar with the common `-i` flag to ignore case which is used in `grep`, `git grep`, `ack`, `ag` and probably others. But I've never used a flag to make a search case-sensitive. Plus it's easy enough to alias `rg` to `rg -i` if you prefer that as the default.

I disagree with your statement that all currencies are 'supposed' to be devalued. That is the conventional wisdom, but I've found no facts this is necessary. A deflationary currency may encourage some people to save instead of spend, and that will contract parts of the economy, but it is also more sustainable over the long run. I don't want to be 'encouraged' to buy a bunch of stuff I don't need, including being forced to invest in overpriced assets like stocks and real estate, simply because my currency is constantly losing value.

How about making up fake stories about Russian prostitutes and hackers to try and overturn the results of an election that didn't go your way?

As a non US citizen,I would say US politics is not all that bad, neither party can be overthrown or something.
I have plenty American friends who live or used to live in various states and different segments of society. Like anywhere else it's not perfect, but top 5 in the world I would say.
In many latin American countries there is a fierce divide between left and right, the distribution of wealth is unlike anywhere else, the poor live in favelas, the middle class lives in gated and secured communities, simple things like leaving a gated community can be a danger to your wallet or life.
The leftists are very extreme, the middle class is conservative, they want their status protected. Neither side realizes that it's better anywhere else in the world, almost literally.
The left does not even offer a social system for the unemployed, this cannot deserves the label left and leads to most of the crime, they happen due to dire economic straits.
No really, the USA are doing fine.
Some people say the left in the us is a right wing light, but that is not accurate. Some states are as left as many EU countries.

Ask HN: Why do Android apps take up so much disk?
My phone warned me today that it was running low on space. After looking through my Downloads and pictures for a bit I decided to clean up apps. I don't really use many apps on my phone which is why this wasn't my go-to in the first place.

The below numbers are just app storage (I imagine binary size on disk?):

Chrome (for reference, reasonable) - 187 MB

Capital One - 91 MB

Storage - 78 MB

Digital Secure (no idea what this is) - 69 MB

Email - 66 MB

Calendar - 28 MB

Contacts - 22 MB

Clock - 21 MB

Calculator (for reference, reasonable) - 1.7 MB

So I don't work in the mobile space - can someone explain to me why these (mostly stock) apps take up so much space on disk? How come my stock Clock app is 1/9th the size of Chrome?
Yes, I take it as a given that they could transmit the virus, and the vaccine only protected them from experiencing worse symptoms, but I do not know the research on the transmissibility based on vaccination, so don't take my opinion into account.

The rough number I was given was 30/40 guests were infected, I do not know the vaccine status of everyone but they were mostly affluent and should have had access to the vaccine, so again, anecdata but does seem like transmission is still a factor when vaccinated, but we'll probably get more data on that as vaccines continue to roll out.

Organise a protest against being taxed a third time for water, or protest against a large fashion company pulling out with giving you your contractually obligated severance pay, and the Gardai will show up 40 strong.

Landlords have gotten Gardai to assist evictions multiple times, even without cause or paperwork being shown.

In contrast, a week ago or so it came out that Gardai were ignoring thousands of domestic abuse calls to emergency services - just deleting them without follow-up.

I could go on and on but let there be no doubt, these are not people you would want to trust with your phone - and if you are crossing them they absolutely will show up and stand by as you get pulled around by your ears by balaclavaed thugs, etc.
I'm guessing most of the people we're talking about are well into the other 80%.
This doesn't match my experience at all. I know a few extremely wealthy folks in SF, a bunch more wealthy folks but who still work 9-5, and there is nothing unusual about any of them. I've met CEOs and billionaires and there's nothing unusual about them, either.

Sure, maybe SF has more unusual kinds of unusual people than the average city, but I wouldn't say that's the norm. VC folks are especially boring.

No one said it was.

>Censorship means state power is deployed to silence speech, and that is not (at least in the USA) happening much.

>cen·sor (sĕn′sər)

>1. A person authorized to examine books, films, or other material and *to remove or suppress what is considered morally, politically, or otherwise objectionable.*

Being authorized by twitter to do it on twitter is still censorship. A simple non-political example: censor bars on nudity in media, literally labelled 'censored': https://duckduckgo.com/?q=censored&iax=images&ia=images

The mental gymnastics to excuse censorship by private entities when it's done to the "correct" targets or for the "correct" reasons is infuriating.

Censorship is censorship. It doesn't matter who is doing it.
This is technically correct, but no context is devoid of political overtones and there's very reasonable arguments for decolonising the terminology.

"British Isles" is the widely accepted term internationally in large part due to the historical dominance of the British Empire, coupled with the ongoing influence of the British state internationally (particularly in the anglosphere). It is however not a generally preferred term within Ireland, which is worth noting alongside any technical facts about geography.
Yeah, I would estimate <1% of people try to deeply understand the nuances of any issue.

It would be great if we had a reliable way to identify that 1% and sort articles/comment/reach by this metric, but it's a hard problem.

For as many people that deeply understand a topic, there are many more that are parroting or making up rationalization for the beliefs they think they are expected to have. These sorts of arguments aren't really arguments, they are just a self-soothing method of tribal identification.

I think there is a pitfall with trying to "understand the other side" because there are an infinite number of possible opinions and not all have merit. It is useful to a point, but when taken to the extreme you just waste a bunch of time reading garbage.

Ironically, that’s mainly because all ad exchanges ban crypto ads. Google has actually reversed course on this [1] and soon you’ll start seeing crypto ads too. Sadly, I already see tons of crypto related ads on Instagram already. Also, I’m not sure which digital newspaper you refer to, but I see articles about crypto pretty much on a daily basis on most websites.

I do agree the cases are very similar, which makes it all the more jarring how differently Stripe treats the data.

If you want to export credit card numbers from Stripe, you can only have it transferred directly to another PCI DSS Level 1-compliant payment processor, and Stripe imposes rather strict requirements on the transfer: https://stripe.com/docs/security/data-migrations/exports#whe...

If you want to export ID documents or selfies, you can just make an API call or use the web interface. This can and will be abused.
I’ve had tankless and now have a rheem heat pump water heater. The rheem uses far less energy (~60 kWh/mo) then the instant water heater. Lifespan I’m not so sure about. I know depending on the water quality they can have issues. I’ve seen many tank water heaters still working after 30 years with little to no service.

Tankless are smaller and it’s true they won’t run out of hot water so they do have that going for them.
I've been using HA a lot in the past and written some components. But a while back they moved away from allowing pure YAML configurations and required some components to do setup via the GUI only. So it's not longer trivial to make a immutable deployment of HA since you will always need to manually make adjustments afterwards.
But doesn't that prove the ineffectiveness of requiring KYC in this case? Bad actors will just scrape the private API, bypass the verification and do their mischief, while good users who want to create bots now have to compromise their privacy by providing identity information.
I sense that in a lot of these posts, "objective news source" = "they agree with me".

No news source is "unbiased" as in "not guided by what the newspaper things is valuable". It's a ridiculous notion. Even when full honesty is assumed (not sure why anyone would; all newspapers publish what they want you to think for all sorts of reasons), even putting aside external factors that constrain or compel what is said, there is a selection process informed by what is held as important. I am not dismissing the objectivity of value (no fact-value dichotomy in my world), but in practice, you will see a variation in what people hold that to be or want to hold that to be.
Bitcoin transactions always spend 100% of your coins, however they can have multiple outputs.
So to pay for something while still retaining the change, you can have one output going towards the merchant with the required amount and one output going straight back to your own wallet with the remaining coins. Only one fee is needed and everything is within one transaction.

You can also send the change to a new address instead, which is how single use wallets work. You generate a new wallet, send the change to the new wallet and replace usage of the old wallet with the new one.
I thought the same, renting is supposed to be cheaper isn't it? It's supposed to be the option for the people who can't afford to own.

People opting out of ownership in favor of renting is an oddity, and usually is nothing about money and instead is about not wanting to be anchored by a mortgage.

The Rampantly Unofficial Linus Torvalds FAQ
You mean the Fed printed a ton of money and sent it to everyone making less than a certain amount, and the government guaranteed wages for those who no longer wish to work, and caused a labor shortage and inflation.

Soon those benefits will be insufficient, due to inflation, if the government continues to print money, and the real wages of the existing wage earners who actually produce value for the good of society by working are eroded and redistributed to those who don't wish to work.

If it keeps up, soon we'll all be poor, nobody will earn a living wage, but at least it will be equitable!

Don't forget that printing money for stimulus checks is borrowing at greatest expense to the lowest wage earners in order to pay those who choose not to work at all

It's not some revealed flaw in capitalism that given short term wages that are the same for working and for doing nothing, that people choose the latter.

back in 2015 or so, I was complaining about how having to study for leetcode is not sustainable for someone to live, thus this makes tech a horrendous life choice as a career. Because having to keep doing this throughout our life when we get families and other life events going on is not a sustainable path. I was downvoted, told if you want to make money what's the big deal, etc etc.

During the pandemic, the companies that were still hiring stepped up the bar. Maybe that was the push needed to tell people what the ramifications of this is. Now I am finally hearing from a lot of engineers: "Am I going to have to do this my whole life? I don't want to do this now let alone for the rest of my life".

> Slightly assholic at first sight Actually a nice guy that just likes to get stuff done. @home-assistant Herder @hassio-addons Creator
Not a bad piece, but for me it turns out almost all of my so-called procrastination and laziness is rooted in a congenital medical condition. When I can manage to take good care of myself, energy and mental focus lead to productivity. When I can't, then I look like some kind of loser to the outside world.

I suspect that under recognized health issues are a common factor in such patterns. I knew a guy who swore he wasn't allergic to anything but began every single day with something like an entire pot of coffee and ended it with up to an entire bottle of wine. Uppers in the morning and downers at night is a common medical approach to managing severe allergies.

The other thing that helped me enormously was reading some book from a library when I was living in Germany in my mid twenties. (No, I have no idea what the book was called.)

It covered an idea that was supposedly fairly common before modern psychology became popular. The idea was that you have a certain budgeted ability to do a particular type of thing and if you aren't getting enough of that thing, you will do more of that type of thing voluntarily (as a hobby) and if you are being forced to do more of that type of thing than your internal budget supports, you will start experiencing burnout.

Programmers routinely give a variety of anecdotal testimony that fits with this concept. Some can program all day at work and come home and program some more to work on a side project. Some are so done with it after programming all day. Others loved it when it was their hobby but have come to hate it now that it is their day job. Their internal budget only supports doing this part-time and such people tend to change careers at some point and then eventually rediscover their love of programming as a hobby.

I think one key to making life work is figuring out how much internal budget you have for different sorts of things and arranging a life that fairly consistently uses up that budget without demanding more and also somehow pays the bills. And then everyone thinks you rock and you get to be contented.

And few of us get told that. We usually get told x, y and z external things matter a great deal and we need to somehow conform to that instead of being told our lives should be designed around ourselves and that's the path to success.
