Is what a delusional megalomaniac who out themselves in a matrix might think, just like the president. You seriously have to be a delusional megalomaniac to head the runaway train that is the presidency. Any power gained inside that matrix is disconnected and invalid from any reality and will never be willfully accepted. The only means of control is through perpetual authoritarian violence

Oh, I've been using Basecamp for PM, but Trello does seem like a good option. I've used Trello plenty in the past but it didn't come to mind for this workflow until you mentioned it. Very appreciated! I'm setting it up now to see if it works for my client. Thank you!
Since there's no drag, you can accelerate as much as you want given the fuel in your pack. In fact, propellant is talked about in terms of Detla-V (delta in velocity).

It seems like the first models of cosmonaut suits gave about 70 m/s of DV while the most recent astronaut MMUs give about 25m/s [1]. So, I don't think an astronaut could de-orbit themselves with just their suit alone.

That's a great point - what's true for Amazon workers is just as true for waiters etc. But Amazon is big enough in absolute terms that they could maybe reach some better equilibrium if one exists, plus they're under a lot of scrutiny.
Short of further machine automation, I wouldn't be surprised to see Amazon start promoting fitness programs in public middle- and high-schools: more gyms, lifting, running, etc.

"Welcome to the new national Amazon gym program! Upon completion and after graduation, you'll have a guaranteed interview and job opportunity waiting for you at Amazon!"

Leverage all the existing tax payer subsidized time, staff, materials in public schools. Furnish a few facilities with new equipment for publicity and image. They could even rustle up a few scholarships in a national competition to get kids interested and it would be a nominal fee for a physically fit workforce ready to sprint around warehouses and urinate/defecate in small containers.
If you spend 10 mins looking into tether online, it’s easy to see it’s a totally fucking scam. It’s unbelievable.
I'll just chime in with my experience as well.

Long time DDG user. Barely use bangs at this point. Haven't switched back to Google in ages.

I don't really do much local searching, but it seems like that's an issue. When I do local searches I just quantify things "Best Thai food in <My Neighborhood>", but I live in area heavily traversed by food critics (I tend to avoid group reviews like Yelp, and Amazon which I tend to think of as easily gamed in favor of newspaper critics and Consumer Reports or America's Test Kitchen, an approach with its own pros and cons).

Most things seem fine although the other day I got a ton of porn when I did an image search for an artist I was discovering "Rico Nasty". Thank god for work from home!

As an aside, I find Google's search result interface extremely off putting at this point. I'm not exactly sure what it is? It seems like there's barely any results above the fold, it's much noisier with widgets everywhere, and why are the description strings only a sentence long at max?

I downloaded a new copy of Chrome (or maybe it was the one that popped up from Cypress tests or something and I errantly used it as main browser window), and yeagh.

Vurvey looks outstanding! I am going to definitely use that for design feedback from clients. Thank you so much for sharing!
"Saving up" implies you're going to spend on something else. Which means you just improved your water efficiency to get other things.

The only thing which is neutral here is if you literally just do nothing with the extra hours you take not working.

That's unlikely: if you take up a hobby you'll be buying supplies, if you spend it helping out family then you're improving their opportunities etc.

>...Also I'd really expect HN of all places to understand why banning what is basically computer vision based targeting systems is absurd.

On the contrary, I would expect a site with a usersbase that screams incessantly about "privacy" and has an intense hatred of data-mining dark patterns, dislikes opaque ML models, would be against the lack of privacy and data-mining culminating in an execution by the state.

This analysis is slightly off because WWI and WWII were great powers fighting each other. If the great powers were ever to directly fight this would still be nuclear war. Nothing about "swarming bots" has significantly changed this domain.

Where bots and swarm bots would be used is likely in asymmetric warfare.

"Aircraft carriers will be replaced with cheap drone swarm carriers" I would argue that Aircraft carriers are the size and cost due to large munitions and maintenance constraints.
one of the things that surprised me about large cluster filesystems (although it's obvious in retrospect) is that the solution to scaling performance is many threads, not one, because the backend can handle many concurrent requests. In fact at one place I worked, the cluster filesystem wouldn't even take you seriously until you hit it with GB/s of requests.
Sounds super interesting, I'll definitely check out the blog post. Yes, fcp is indeed using blocking io in threads. In an earlier prototype I was using async (i.e. M on N threading), but was running into issues with exhausting file descriptors. Because of this (and because writing async Rust is quite difficult) I settled on using blocking io in threads. Perhaps in a future version I'll try to implement the io_uring approach for Linux.
>Something that doubles or reduces by 10x the random probability is not "closer to random". I doubt that if you tell something that a factor is "closer to random than to a perfect predictor" they'd expect something like that.

This shouldn't be a matter of what the layman thinks, it is a question of statistics. If someone said or thought that the class you were born into has a bigger impact on outcomes than other factors, they would be wrong.

Note that the 5 hour work day proposed in this article isn't about working less. It's about compressing the same amount of work into a smaller window of time.

The claim is that the compressed working hours increases focus, urgency, and efficiency. Employees were asked to do their work in a 5 hour block with no breaks at all.

From my own time tracking, 5 hours of work is about right for an 8 hour work day if I'm also taking breaks, grabbing lunch with coworkers, having short catch-up conversations with people (outside of scheduled meetings), and stretching my legs for a while every hour.

I could probably do the 5 hours of work in a single 5 hour block without leaving my desk or taking any breaks if I really tried, but I'm not sure I'd want to. I might get an extra 3 hours back in my day, but is it worth it if I'm exhausted and feel like I can't allow any time for socializing with coworkers?
i use ripgrep all the time, it's great.

i don't think it was ever meant to be "exactly GNU/coreutils grep", and I don't think it ever even tried. The API is totally different, i don't think it's ever been the same, it scratches a similar-but-not-identical itch.

You make this sound like a boring dystopia, but everything you say about our society is also the case for 1955, only more so. They didn't have adblockers or sponsor block. They didn't have audiobooks (probably available from your local library to) or anything but radio when driving. They had significantly fewer choices and had to endure radio with ads playing whatever they were told to play.

Meanwhile the population today is the least bound to the couch it has been in half a century (modulo a pandemic).

And, shocking to some, most people are not an empty shell inside, although they have desires and things they want.

Don't complain about ads the next time you stand in line and whip out Instagram rather than an ebook.
> And so we'll end up fighting battles mostly by destroying drones instead of people.

This is one piece of possibly good news that it seems like everyone is overlooking.

Automation/Remote control applies not just to drones, but tanks, boats, other aerial vehicles, and maybe troops(after seeing that Boston Dynamics dog robot) etc. Seems like it will be a small squad of highly advanced human troops to move in after the Remotes to secure and maintain control of the area.

So many lives will be spared during wars.

However, this may be unbeatable tech by humans, so any future revolutions will be easily quelled by a gov't with a few drone pilots piloting a drone swarm in a room a thousand miles away.

On mobile, I find DDG incredibly useful because it doesn't send me to AMP pages (which are inevitably broken), and on iOS I can't install any browser extensions to redirect me away from that mess.
Sure, which is why there's no reason not to rehire that person after a while.

> or you can view it as a concession to reality: If Apple didn't do this, the video providers would block their exit nodes, as they do with any VPN provider that gets large enough for them to notice.

I seriously doubt any reasonable video streaming service would cut off such a huge chunk of their user base just because they are using an iPhone.
This isn’t realistic

1. This won’t be your average <$1000 quad copter with a two kilometer range

2. Even if it was it could be hundreds of them

3. The military are developing large aircraft that function as essentially fighter aircraft that can destroy your tiny gun battery from 50-100 km away
Exactly. The view file button is also very useful.
Amazon has invested an insane amount of money into the recruiting/interviewing/hiring process. It has always been the Amazon mindset that workers are replaceable, and they have built their entire business on the operational model of hiring quickly, draining people of all their productive output, firing them (or pushing them so hard they quit on their own), and quickly hiring people to replace them.

When you have that mindset and investment in those areas, and especially when talking about positions that require relatively little training investment, I wouldn't be surprised if it is cheaper.

I think Amazon is reaching a point where the incoming pipeline of workers is drying up, though, and Amazon execs are apparently clueless on what to do next. It's really a situation where Amazon squeezed its workforce so hard in search of short term results, and now is reaping the long term results of a workforce that hates the company. Ironic, since one of Amazon's precious leadership principles is specifically to not do that.

All of this also applies to the corporate workforce, too, btw. There's an insane amount of attrition right now and nobody qualified wants to work at Amazon, even with the 200k+ offered salaries. It's not just a money issue, but a reputation/culture issue, and Amazon organizationally doesn't know how to solve those types of issues.

UBI is often viewed on the right as a cost neutral way of spreading social Security spending around so that Bill Gates, the unemployed and the permanently disabled all get the same $290 check in the mail every month.

The upside being lower spending on things like testing eligibility, the downside being that either the cost balloons to about $4-6 trillion a year or you basically just accept that some people are not gonna be able to survive.
Weapons caches are valuable targets, so unless all the world's major powers are keeping all of their missiles in a number of locations much smaller than the number of missiles their opponents have, I don't see how armament stocks can be large compared to the number of targets. That's even assuming that the only targets will be military targets, which wasn't even true in WWII.

The overwhelming majority of anecdotes about online classes I have heard from people currently in school or college have been negative. My limited experience with them (I graduated a few years ago), has been pretty poor too. What are some ways we can make this better?
My first gravel bike came with 42t crank and 11-42 cassette. It's perfect for everyday use. You spin out at like 45km/h (or even higher if you can do high cadence) while the 1-1 gear allows you to climb pretty steep hills.
Sure, it's not enough for a road race and I prefer 2x drivetrain these days as I do a lot of distance on pavement but I still think 1x is just a better option for most recreational cyclists.

Two things: 1) Check out "The Millennial Project":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Millennial_Project:_Coloni...

> The Millennial Project: Colonizing the Galaxy in Eight Easy Steps by Marshall T. Savage is a book (published in 1992 and reprinted in 1994 with an introduction by Arthur C. Clarke) in the field of exploratory engineering that gives a series of concrete stages the author believes will lead to interstellar colonization. Many specific scientific and engineering details are presented, as are numerous issues involved in space colonization.

I find the cover image of a green galaxy is very inspiring!

2) Due to the nature of exponential growth, we will eventually feel a population crunch when reproduction overwhelms the rate of expansion. This is true even if we invent FTL ships. The crunch would be delayed (perhaps for millions or billions of years) but it is inevitable.
Specifically, Article 12 of the UDHR states:

"No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks."

So do hundreds of millions of Americans, which is why the statistics are surprising. But having hope doesn’t make it happen. This is partly why it’s important to understand the reality of US social mobility.

I would rather have a cookie-based approach where the opt-in dialog is clearly laid out via regulation.

At the top of the dialog a "decline"-button and to the right of it an "accept"-button. These buttons toggle all the toggles of the providers listed below those two buttons. You can then manually override each of the listed providers, which may be also grouped by purpose in order to ease selection. No nested dialogs are allowed.

Upon declination, one single cookie must get set, with a specific name, ie 'consent-acknowledge-status', with an expiry date of at least one week, where the consent selection is stored, so that it can be respected in future visits.
OP here, I am probably guilty of conflating Firefox and LibreOffice with "everything", where typing is concerned.
The human race, consisting of 6+ billion people, can do more then one thing at a time.

The idea of "we need to end economic growth" implies an extremely broad ranging, aggressive, authoritarian imposition on people's freedoms - requiring so much logistics, infrastructure and coordination as to be practically impossible.

Many social programs in theory could afford to be gutted if we just stopped checking for, certifying, and auditing eligibility and started paying people directly with fewer questions. To what extent and how the transition would work out remains to be seen.

This is obviously not impossible, but we are now in the realm of adding clauses to an already rather specific scenario, each clause adding another degree of improbability. (The odds of "an upload cult arises on a planet" is by definition greater than "an upload cult arises on a planet AND actively presents anybody else on the planet from ever leaving.)

I think the metaphor to look to isn't necessarily even human civilizations spreading around the globe; it's life spreading through the planet to colonize every niche out of which the slightest scrap of energy can be extracted.
I thought protocol was that there was nothing you could do. They just keep going
Just like with chemical weapons, banning them makes total sense to avoid overwhelming mass production and ubiquitous use.

You'll still see them used in targeted assassinations and some countries will have illegal military stockpiles, but that's very different from these things being treated like regular guns/ammo, being commercially available or legal to build.
Just be upfront about it and have a well thought out explanation of why you are returning to the job market instead of continuing.

Like if it is a startup say it is a startup or recuring revenue project be prepared to talk about why it didn't get traction. I've also seen people who just spent time investing their own money and living off that and even some who were doing great but wanted more socialization.

Being full stack and having some well developed entrepreneurial instincts are well respected things especially in small to medium companies. And there are more remote jobs than ever.
A YouTuber called Coffeezilla had an entertaining video yesterday that I think is one of the most comprehensive (and entertaining) takes on this. It's pretty damning when you look at all the evidence together.

Even in the off-chance that people with a track record of lying about being backed have suddenly gone legitimate, it's a pretty big indictment of the system that it could grow to the size it did while looking incredibly like a scam.
Filtering would help turnover. There’s no reason why hiring half a million a year isn’t enough. It means there’s a problem with the company, not the job pool.
> I would not think you were serious about finding work.

Then why are they interviewing? Taking people at face value until you know you shouldn't is an important interpersonal skill. Second guessing what people tell you is pointless. This would be one item in a list of his experience, not what you see first.

> Many consumer VPNs install a client, and it would be trivial to ship a new trusted certificate with it.

A lot of browsers have their own root chain, and also now do certificate pinning, so will (IIRC) only accept specifically designated certs for particular sites (doesn't Google/Chrome/Gmail do this?).
But cookie banners must also adhere to the ePrivacy Directive, which is a directive (as the name implies).
I am familiar with a small set of programming languages, but they define reference and value passing similarly.

* Java: Java spec says "pass by value"

* C: pass by value

Do you know a language that defines "pass by reference" in a very different way?
