I might be odd here, but my intro to Python was with turtle graphics and I despised it. My spatial sense is rather poor, and having to translate between code and Cartesian coordinates and vice versa was a heavy mental overhead.

for x in range(0, 10):
print(x)

Is way clearer to me than having to draw circles or lines and then manually calculating the Cartesian coordinates I should have hit to make sure it's actually doing what I want.

Likewise with pretty much all of the constructs. It's easy to understand a function that sums a list of ints, and it's easy to check. It's much harder for me to grok and check a function that draws circles at a list of Cartesian coordinates. A recursive Fibonacci sequence is easy for me to grok; just have it print out the values it's using at each loop. A recursive function to draw fractals is going to take me forever to figure out what recursion is actually doing. I can see that it changes, but figuring out how/why or why I would ever want to use it is really difficult.

I think it's just too much of an abstraction for me. Code -> numbers -> coordinates -> image is too many indirections for me to follow. When I wanted something "hands on", I usually defaulted to consuming APIs. It's really not much harder to install a Reddit API client and use it. It gives me something I can check, it's something I would actually want to do, and it's practically infinitely extensible.
Objection, Your Honor! Assumes facts not in evidence: that these beliefs "threaten our democracy and public health." These back-handed "Oh I wish those people would let us save them from that which they do not understand" only gives actual evidence that feeds the theories. Stop treating people like little children, be more scientific--actually scientific, not "the science is settled" scientific--and you may start to see things change.

This is interesting, and I've never heard this definition of egalitarian. It certainly does solve the philosophical problem I've raised. I'm curious (genuinely) if large numbers of people are seriously suggesting such a system. How would it even be implemented? Well-off parents cannot buy their children clothing or food? They cannot give their used car to their children? Etc? That rich parents could not pay extra for the health care needs of their children? I could understand (if potentially not really agree with) something more limited, such as a specific inheritance tax. But I don't see how you prevent rich parents from sharing their resources with their children in the broad sense.

>> Another one is things being "loud / busy" in your head, maddeningly so. I've heard that taking the meds quiets things down, and it's a relief.

This is a big one for me. I pretty much always have a podcast or audiobook going because otherwise my head is just so loud and non directed. I'll have some fragment of a song repeating in my head for 9 hours straight and I don't even realize it until my partner tells me to stop humming it.
> But that would contradict the premise, wouldn't it? If an immigrant can "self select" from much worse conditions, why didn't an average poor American?

They did not. They self-selected from largely good opportunities at home which they leveraged into good opportunities in the US.

Successful indian-americans are not generally dalit. In fact relatively few indian americans originate from lower-caste families.

And there are too many different kinds of american poor to average them. Who is the "average poor american"? A black american? A native american? A resource or industry-cursed white? An invalid vet? The opportunities, or lack thereof, are different for all of them.
A few billion Android devices in the wild is how it's kept up to date.
Keep in mind low code tools should ideally be used by domain expert directly as I wrote in my post.
One Fine Stay did this in London, NY, Paris, maybe a few other cities. Locks, cleaning, laundry, even an iPhone with local maps and unlimited data (big deal in 2015). I think they found it hard to make money on, even though they were targeting the high end ($$$-$$$$ per night).
I'm commenting just to balance out everyone saying this is false. I took Ritalin in middle school and never felt high whatsoever. One day my mom took it (once) because she was curious and she said she felt high (she told me this many many years later).

I took it again after college and can say that yes if you take a high enough dose it will make you slightly euphoric but I think it's different than the high of recreational drugs. If your mood is too heightened when you take it then probably you should cut back on your dosage.
Or a group of friends. Pre-AirBnB, multiple times a group of us rented a house for a long weekend. Much nicer than being in a bunch of hotel rooms. AirBnB didn't pioneer vacation rentals but it did make it take off.
Then it seems like a problem with execution rather than a fundamental problem with the concept.

Especially with Apple as a largely successful counterexample.
I worked for about a month a few years back to improve my writing. I just found an example of handwriting I liked and would spend time each morning copying individual characters, then words. Very slowly at first, then it became natural. My handwriting has slipped since then, seems to be something you need to keep working at from time to time.
I had really bad nausea and pain, went to my doctor, who said I likely had a kidney stone, and the next step was to get an MRI. I was between jobs with no insurance and few funds, so I asked what it cost. The doctor had someone in his office call the hospital and got a quote for $1,500. I got the MRI knowing only that.

A month later I got a bill for $3,500. I drove out to the hospital (2 hours) to ask wtf. They didn't help at all, wouldn't budge.

So I went home and wrote them a check for $1,500, marked as paid in full, with a cover letter explaining my side of it. It worked. They cashed the check and I never heard another word. I've done further business there with no problem. It's well worth pushing back.
What is the easy way to implement this? Just looking at user agent isn’t ideal. Does your server just look for floc data being sent to you?
> Watching people get a bunch of money over and over for no work starts to make you question things.

You're ignoring risk. Do you feel the same way when people win lotteries? Because everybody has access to Robinhood, so nothing is stopping you from gambling on penny stocks or random crypto and you just might get retirement money or lose it all.
You can transfer lots of information elements in a beacon, you don't need to shit on the SSID.
I’m going to ignore your insults and escalatory language and just point out the fact that the WEF’s definition of social mobility is vastly different than the one I mentioned. You’re conflating two completely different metrics. I’m happy to learn new things, have a constructive discussion, and to admit I’m wrong if that’s the case, but not interested in engaging in mud-slinging based on things my college teacher said twenty years ago.

A sibling comment to yours explains succinctly why your comment misunderstands mine: standard of living in the US is higher than India. The WEF’s metric is based on ranking the standard of living of each country against each other. It can be simultaneously true that the US standard of living is higher than India, and also that people born lower class in the US improve their lot at the same rate as people in India.
Why would it be illegal to listen to or record broadcasts in the unlicensed ISM band? In fact monitoring the band is part of the wifi standard itself, as wifi devices are supposed to avoid interfering with each other even if they are not associated to the same AP. Most devices monitor the entire 2.4ghz and 5ghz bands for beacons from APs to give the user a listen of available networks and to support roaming.
There really are widespread beliefs about powerful and sinister groups acting in concert to cause harm, the beliefs are non-falsifiable and supported by circular reasoning, and they often involve racial and religious prejudice.

Some politicians and leaders use these beliefs to control and influence people.

This is a real thing and it should have a name.

What do you suggest we call this phenomenon if not "conspiracy theory"?
Not so sure. Why compete with Google by trying to do exactly the same thing, but worse? It's a shitty business plan. Might even be too shit for SV.
I don’t understand how it doesn’t make assumptions about people. In the case of a generic antecedent, sure that’s fine and well established historically. But in this case there’s a known antecedent, Michael Larabel.

I don’t know what Michael’s preferred pronouns are, but isn’t the original poster in this chain assuming it’s they/them and aren’t they more likely, statistically speaking, to be he/him?

Why does it somehow not count as misgendering when you they/them someone that prefers he/him or she/her?

Sounds like you're attempting to refer to qft? Passes the buck down and is still fundamentally descriptive not explanatory.

People don't like fields when there's a bunch of gatekeepers who can't resist posing as experts and shun people who ask simple questions which they can't provide answers for. That's part of Eric Weinstein's critique of today's particle physics community which I share.
I wrote an identity verification process with Verified.Me. I understand your concern regarding SecureKey's creation of a user account for its service built around identity verification sources such as the chartered banks. Your Verified.Me account is tied to your mobile device, and that it doesn't have any extra PII. You can delete your Verified.Me account from the app at any time. If you move to a new device and want to use Verified.Me, it will tell you that your account is already on another device and needs to be deleted from it before proceeding. The PII that is shared from the banks to the Verified.Me consumer is name, email, and phone number. At all times SecureKey said that it's the conduit and doesn't see that data.

Similar to Stripe, SecureKey currently offers an analysis service for photo ID that looks for anomalies and calls them out. The next version of the service integrates with provincial records to concretely confirm validity.
A plumber needs formal education, at least in Germany. Three years of it, to be exact. And then some more to run his own shop.

Also, 100 an hour sounds great. That is without taken taxes, social security, operational costs, fix costs an so into account. Those plumbers getting wealthy are running their own shops, small legit enterprises.

Final note: Any decent developer job I know of pays at least 3k, net, after taxes, social and medical insurance,... Enough to live a comfortable live. One without student debt, I might add.
Women are not children, they understand and appreciate humour. You being offended on behalf of them frankly seems more insulting.

Do they support document delivery through email like Kindle? Recently I showcased[1] 'HN to Kindle' here and someone asked for Remarkable tablet support, But I didn't get an answer regarding email delivery.

Update:
A quick search on their website says documents can be emailed out of the device i.e. sharing, But there doesn't seem to be a way to email content to the device.

"Considering the urgency of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, detection of various new mutant strains and future potential re-emergence of novel coronaviruses, repurposing of approved drugs such as Ivermectin could be worthy of attention...

As per data available on 16 May 2021, 100% of 36 early treatment and prophylaxis studies report positive effects (96% of all 55 studies). Of these, 26 studies show statistically significant improvements in isolation. Random effects meta-analysis with pooled effects using the most serious outcome reported 79% and 85% improvement for early treatment and prophylaxis respectively (RR 0.21 [0.11–0.37] and 0.15 [0.09–0.25]). The results were similar after exclusion based sensitivity analysis: 81% and 87% (RR 0.19 [0.14–0.26] and 0.13 [0.07–0.25]), and after restriction to 29 peer-reviewed studies: 82% and 88% (RR 0.18 [0.11–0.31] and 0.12 [0.05–0.30]). Statistically significant improvements were seen for mortality, ventilation, hospitalization, cases, and viral clearance. 100% of the 17 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) for early treatment and prophylaxis report positive effects, with an estimated improvement of 73% and 83% respectively (RR 0.27 [0.18–0.41] and 0.17 [0.05–0.61]), and 93% of all 28 RCTs."

Given that, why are so many opposed to Ivermectin and why is big tech suppressing the discussion of it?

This would be cool if they added a prediction market on top of this. It doesn't necessarily need to be a market, but I would love to track falsifiable predictions that journalists make so I know which ones have a track record of being correct.
Getting better performance with -Os over -O is some kind of edge case and people shouldn't generally expect that. -Os has disastrous consequences for C++ algorithms because it refuses to inline functors, so while you may rightly believe that a C++ std::sort is slightly faster than a C qsort, due to superior opportunities to optimize the C++ code, with -Os you'll find that std::sort is an order of magnitude slower. Definitely pays to check the result with a full-scale benchmark.
> I take offense at such massive overgeneralizations...

Boy, you would make one offended American...
The website is really a third party here, the browser is choosing to track users browser history and report a summary statistic on it to anyone who asks, there's nothing the website can do about that.

Chrome has promised to listen if websites say they don't want to be included in the browser history they calculate that statistic on, but it's all client side, there is nothing the website can actually do but request that they aren't included.
Same. I had to physically separate myself from my personal computer because I frequently found myself working on side projects, playing video games, or literally anything else that grabbed my attention.

Sure, but part of the appeal to me is WiFi access. That's where things like Syncthing or using the device as a handheld tablet input during meetings would be very powerful.

I can quarantine everything, but I don't want to quarantine the device, I want to be able to connect it to WiFi and take advantage of its networking features while trusting that it won't send a bunch of data somewhere.

Over the last years, I felt my handwriting was deteriorating. I blamed my lack of practice and reliance on computers, and accepted that.

But, last year I got glasses. With them, my hand writing quickly improved. As an aside, I can type a lot faster on a touch screen now too. Presbyopia snuck up on me somewhere when I hit 40...
Now it has big glaring "YES."
I get your sentiment, but there is a big difference between that information being publicly available somewhere and someone building a centralized private database of it.

At least, IF you assume that e.g. "database copyright" serves a valid purpose, then you could make a similar case here that the collection of all these data points is qualitatively different from collecting any single data point.

Note: I used a capital "IF" up there because I do have issues with database copyright. But that's the world we live in...
Well, Texans and Techies did cry out when California had/has their outages (mostly due to new fire prevention practices during extremely high winds).

But Texas is a utopia of free market thinking where gov’t is always the problem and the market will fix itself. In the meantime, have you heard of CRT in the classroom, or the War on Christmas?
I love my Remarkable 2 but I will say their customer service experience was pathetic.

When I received my Remarkable 2 I had an issue with the WiFi card as it would connect and then after syncing once it would disconnect and required a restart to get it working again. So I emailed support to discuss a replacement. The support had me adjust MY router to specific channels so that the WiFi card could work (the only device I've had to do this for, and I have my channels tuned to not interfere with the neighbors). The problem persisted for the first few months I had the device and after I made the adjustments. I even offered to use my software engineering skills to help diagnose this issue on the device.

Worse still, the customer support agent stopped responding to my emails. I don't know if there was a software update that fixed this issue, but the way the customer support black balled me and gave up, I will probably not buy another device from them again, especially if there are similar devices on the market.

Why? I tried to support this company by preordering and go through the proper channels and it lead me to a place where a customer support agent decided my questions and time were better shoved into the abyss rather than address my concerns. That doesn't happen from a customer support agent actions, but rather how management and C-suite trains customer support agents.

I've actually been saving the emails from companies that do this to me. Anyone know somewhere I can report and share my poor experiences with companies (ex BBB)?
I can buy a Prestigio phone from aliexpress that far outperforms the pinephone, and is feature-complete.
I've done it twice in my adult life. The first time, I was unhappy with my block capitals, and looked up the letter form references for architectural block lettering, and spend a few hours over a week or so just practicing letter forms. I, in a very literal way, installed a font in meatspace :)

Cursive I think is really more just about getting a feel for the flow of script. There are some technical aspects, like the letter forms themselves, and the rules of joining them -- not all letters in a word can or should be joined, which is obvious to long-time cursive users but was not to me!

But mostly it comes down to knowing the letter forms, and then just using cursive. Write a dear friend a sweet note. Write a couple pages in your diary on occasion. Your forms will become clearer and will flow better with practice. Embellish! Draw huge risers and tails on your letters and pretend you're writing in elvish or something. haha.
I like Windows as an end-user OS. Works with all my equipment. The only horribly annoying feature is the lack of borders around windows which sometimes make it very, very difficult to distinguish two overlapping windows.

I am a heavy user of Linux in the back (all my servers and containers run some kind of Linux since '93) and I desperately tried to use it on the desktop but is it a big pile of crap.

SO I will live in that duality forever (I do not like macOS)

I’d say that’s a natural part of learning as a kid. You’re exploring and mapping the contours of your environment. I’d argue 100 half finished projects are better than 2-3 finished at a young age.
European economies are very diverse and I‘m not concerned with wealth as the most successful countries with high living standards also have relatively low debt in comparison to gdp.
i believe it would be quite difficult. if you actually look at the structure of the human brain (eg the homonculus model of the cortex) you will note that a very large portion of the brain is dedicated to just the hands/manual dexterity. Many of the current neural prosthetics seem to act by attempting to leverage the brain's use of already-existing neural pathways being used for other functions. Sort of a "turn on my microwave when i open my refrigerator"-type dependence. I think a good sign of truly independent supernumerary prosthetics would be if some users reported phantom limb sensations in their absence
