High rent is a reflection of that. The problems start when the standard of living grows faster than your income.

Edit: High rent grants you access to higher paying jobs but not everyone actually gets those.

That's two languages: javascript and php. Many frontend developers would prefer to just work with one — javascript.
I care much more about revision history than I do about comments. When I'm trying to figure out code I do it in "git blame" mode - what I'm hoping for is a single, atomic commit that links back to an issue thread. Ideally that issue thread will have all of context I need to fully understand the change.

This works great in codebases that are designed to be read in that way, which is why I'm so keen on every commit combining tests, implementation, updated documentation AND a link to the associated issue thread.

I'll sometimes open an issue seconds before I make a commit, just so I can have an issue number I can associate the commit with. This is great for adding commentary later on - I might post a comment on an issue thread a year after the commit that help clarify some useful detail that, with hindsight, I should have recorded.
Yes, we should feel deep shame. We have benefitted from this for years, with lives of convenience, at the expense and exploit of millions of our brethren worldwide. It would only be naturally American to attempt to distance ourselves, to say its "just" the CIA, not us.

But it is our greed, our demand for cheaper and faster, our uncaring nature to the extractive business practices that push the CIA into action. We are complicit, every one of us, and it is only after we admit this that we can start to change. Its not about burying our heads in the sand in shame, but about understanding what we are benefitting from and having a heart for the millions pushed down to push you, as an American, up.

I don't care about the Russians. That's their problem. I'm an American. This is MY problem.

I think "use case" generally implies "good use case" rather than "technically possible use case", which would be better classified as "misuse case". My favorite misuse case is using a knife to turn a screw.

The difference is that the wifi opt out method is perfect since they can trust that the person with control of the router's SSID is actually opting out when it receives that list.
No one does triangulation. They do trilateration, which is the version of finding things that uses circles (signal strength is proportional to distance).
That is a very strange way of looking at things. I have to say this every time, but somebody closing a bug report does not mean they have power over you. If you could force everyone to stop what they're doing and look at your bug reports, it would be a lot more likely that you have power over the maintainers. It's unfortunate when a bug report gets closed, and I sympathize, but you shouldn't take it personally when that happens.

If somebody has said something that is outright rude and condescending to you, that would probably be a code of conduct violation, and the foundation would probably want to hear about it.
Maybe something being a logistical nightmare is quite the point.
You can be a legal resident of the country and not a citizen. But, your point still stands.
It's not properly boosting usage metrics for first-party Microsoft apps!
> To opt out, change the SSID (name) of your Wi-Fi access point (your wireless network name) so that it ends with "_nomap." For example, if your SSID is "12345," you would change it to "12345_nomap."

That's annoying, but I don't actually care, that much. My access points are locked down about as well as possible, and having them in there actually helps to improve map accuracy. I just switched ISPs, and I'm currently getting ads that think I'm in New Jersey. As soon as my new router gets re-mapped, I'll be getting ads that make it seem as if stock photo models are local lawyers.

Anyone that really wants to get into my access points could probably do so, but I also have a few layers of security (multiple routers of different manufacture), as well as fixed MAC addresses (which is a pain for the iOS devices).

Also, I'm surrounded by neighbors that have much lower-hanging fruit.

Last November/December was for me the strangest flu season ever, coughing and sneezing for abnormally long period, my coworkers and mother also. And after, in January, I got a really strange what looked like herpes in the face. Followed by finger infection which I had never had, which could mean my immune system was abnormally weak

The 27" models have traditionally used off the shelf socketed CPUs though, which is unusual in AIOs. Regular 27" models use desktop i9s and the Pro uses a desktop Xeon. Both can technically have their CPUs upgraded even if opening them is a pain.

> Without the KGB he would never have been able to illegally arrest Gorbachev and execute a coup.

I read many books on events 1990-1993. Even the two soldiers who were guarding the door when Yelzin was arresting his cabinet were hand picked through a very tight network of loyalists in the most extreme secrecy.

They had an order "see anybody resembling KGB? Fire at will"

It's a grandiose conspiracy theory of CPSU holdouts that "KGB subverted the Union!" I will believe more that Trump Donald was a communist spy, than KGB nibbling at hand that fed, and protected it from decimation at the hands everybody wanting to return the favour.
The Difference Between Liturgical Naïveté & a Eucharistic Culture of Affiliation
I was diagnosed at age 44 and it made me reevaluate the course of my entire life. It took me a few years to adjust adequately and I'm still adjusting at 51. Learning about ADHD and effective strategies to deal with it has helped. Getting to know other people with ADHD has been the most helpful of all. I suggest searching YouTube for reactions to ADHD memes: it's a little painful on account of so much truth being told, but also nice to feel less alone.

My experience with meds might be interesting: I work in a customer-facing technical role where my soft skills are paramount. Taking stimulants was disorienting, but helped me manage emotions very well. They worked well for focus, but killed my ability to be fundamentally nice. I might have been able to adapt in time, but I would have had to change careers in the meantime. I now take buproprion and it works well enough on motivation without causing social problems.

Most Americans pay a shit ton of money before their insurance kicks in to pay for the majority of their non-preventative care. I personally need to spend $3,000 before I only pay 10% of the bills that insurance receives until I hit $6,000 in a calendar year after which I pay nothing else.
> A tangent, but I've found the iPad Pro to be fabulous for video editing

Doesn't the sandboxing and limited access to the file system get in the way?

Can you export video to non-Apple formats, collaborate with other people via a version control system, easily import footage from non-Apple devices, and so on?

Can you even cleanly separate your video editing project from your personal holiday photos/videos? (Does iPadOS expose a directory structure to the end user yet?)

The Doubleclick and YouTube side of Google is also a big part of revenue and both use huge amounts of cookie based targeting.
The only thing I would add is that header-style comments are immensely helpful for "chunking" the code into distinct sections. I first saw this recommended in Code Complete, and it stuck with me, since I've seen it in a number of other domains. It's a basic part of cognitive psychology that makes information processing and retention much easier.
Never mind, I found it! Turntable already exists, it's in the second block of checkboxes on the config screen, between "enable automatic line constraints" and "edit newly added dimensions."

I think that issue is looking for a toggle like Apple's "natural scroll direction" where it's a question of whether you want the metaphor that pushing your scroll wheel is pushing the content up and down or moving the scroll bar grip which makes the content go the opposite direction.

Ask HN: Is there a way to keep phone contacts from seeing that you're on Signal?
I think its a bit annoying that there are people who get notified and vice-versa that someone is on Signal. If there is any way to avoid this, that would be great, otherwise what other services are out there that are similar but don't let the world know you exist without you letting them know first?

Interesting way to put it
This is a huge part of the appeal of emacs to me as well. Other editors / IDEs might offer a comparable level of extensibility but it feel like there's so much more friction involved in taking advantage of it. With emacs you don't even need to restart the application.
These are powerful tools, but Blender and LibreOffice are also perfect examples of “clunky” open-source. They’ve never had the kind of polish that makes software great to use.
Apple was a zombie before Steve Jobs was rehired. Also, it was initially funded by Mike Markkula who was from Intel which was a company founded with DOD and DARPA backing.

The solution is for all of us to rename our SSIDs the same (e.g., "Starbucks") and then let the WiFi device sort it out during the authentication step.
The rather similar philosophical schools (stoicism, epicurianism, cynicism) arising in Greece at a time not terribly long after the death of Siddhartha Guatama always made me wonder if there was a connection. Ex oriente lux, ex occidente lex (from the east light, from the west law).

I've read that the roots of CBT were founded on stoic philosophy, so perhaps there is a connection.

Ha! That's such a fantastic idea. I always keep my lights either off, or on white because I kind of dislike RGB lighting. I might have to look into this, did you use any specific software for this?

I don't think so; 'evidence' takes in more than just 'what you're looking for.'

If I put in my password and you get back a reset phone with no personal data whatever, then it's rather obvious that I've wiped it (eg my wallpaper picture has likely reset from my personal taste to the system default). So now you don't have the evidence to convict me of what you suspected me for, but you can bring another charge, and DoE charges will cause most people to assume that the original accusation/suspicion was well founded. If you are able to prove it by other means I'll get less sympathy from a jury and likely a much higher penalty.
This is my struggle. But also, nobody likes to focus on something uninteresting. What's the difference between ADHD and just not wanting to do it?
The CIA really bothers me, but it alone is a red herring. Congress consciously and sometimes inadvertently commissions additional organizations. All Federal agencies are created by statute, and they can autonomously create others subsidiaries and divisions. There are several organizations that are specifically in intelligence and do all sorts of messed up things for supposed national security or geopolitical purposes, and they are mostly unknown, even heads of state are unfamiliar with them not because they are secret but because theyre mostly irrelevant.

So to focus on the CIA allows the rest of it to go on unimpededed.

Its like hiring a model to act like your close friend so that your girlfriend focuses all her attention on her waiting for infidelity with that specific person and you can always disprove that there wasn't .... with her. But no further scrutiny goes on, when there should be.
AIUI Joplin effectively does that; its synchronization abilities boil down to "Integrate with file synchronization tools that don't natively create sync folders on your phone so you don't have to pay for a pro Dropbox account".

I just set up a test sync, and the files in my Dropbox Apps/Joplin folder are just Markdown and JSON (there appear to be some dotfiles, but I'll bet they just cache the database graph etc).
I think you are misinterpreting what is a normal level of disagreement in a project of that size. The project doesn't have enough money going through it to be lost in politics and power struggles. It's still very much volunteer-driven.
I guess just change your routers broadcast Mac to an iPhone one. Maybe we could use randomized MAC for APs like we have for clients.
Watching the demonstration video:

Now, does the whole mottainai attitude require you do something about the wood glue you can't use out of the bottle?
tshaddox didn't say anything to imply that people couldn't opt out, so I think you're beating a strawman. They pointed out the seeming change in expectations in this thread (where SSID location mapping collection being opt-out is outrage) vs the phone book (which, sensitive PII was broadly shared by a profit-motivated entity that had no relationship with you and you have to opt out to not be included).

If anything, SSID location is generally less sensitive than your name + phone number + city.
Ah when I mentioned professional cycling I actually was specifically thinking about mountain climbing. I don't follow cycling much except the Tour. The article didn't mention anything about the climbers, they only mention flat road physics.
> A bubble is an objectively irrational shared belief in a better potential future …

An objectively irrational bubble is generally akin to a ponzi scheme, where everyone hopes someone else is left holding the bag. Phrasing it as a bunch of people who just believe in a better future is an extreme enough euphemism I'd expect to see it in a Silicon Valley parody.
It's saying "this is a mobile hotspot so don't use it to orient yourself."
> We already have a society that identifies people when doing business.

This is false. There are many cases in real life when this is not the case as explained in the very post you just responded to.

> The burden of proof is on an anonymity advocate to demonstrate why that is harmful and should be changed.

You are making certain claims and then saying it's up to others to disprove you? If that's your attitude why are you engaging in this discussion at all?

> But it’s also not my problem if you aren’t aware of the nuances surrounding how security, privacy and anonymity work.

Frankly I don't have the energy to engage with you. Take that as you will. You clearly think you know much more than everyone here already anyway.
> Doesn't the sandboxing and limited access to the file system get in the way?

No.

> Can you export video to non-Apple formats, collaborate with other people via a version control system, easily import footage from non-Apple devices, and so on?

Yes.

I agree and think it's weird how often I see variations of that general argument here; where someone says, "Normal thing A is fine, therefore it must be fine if we scale it by a factor of 100,000,000". Scale matters!

You’re broadcasting more than your ssid, but your base station MAC too. Unless you clone that too.

I hadn't heard of model cards before - thanks for the link!

I wonder how feasible it would be to develop some formal ontology to describe the capabilities of models and attach them to model cards.

That could open up some interesting applications:

* automated search for a set of models to accomplish some task

* a human usable search engine for finding specific models

EDIT: to complete a sentence
Ask HN: How do I stop spam phone calls?
Some health insurance scam keeps calling me. I’ve been getting at least a dozen calls per day for the past couple of weeks. I block the numbers on my phone, but they seem to have dozens if not hundreds of phone numbers they’re using from all different area codes.

I also updated my phone to not notify me if it’s an unknown number, but it’s still an annoyance.

Anyone else dealt with this or have any suggestions?
I see it's been replaced by the Sony DPT-RP1, though that's still expensive. At least this is proof it's possible and creates hope for competitors to emerge.
I find Rust crate code to be quite difficult to read sometimes because it contains a lot of comments and executable examples destined to be incorporated into auto-published (and auto-executed) documentation. That's a fine thing of course, but it would be nice if there were facilities to see "just the code and code comments".

A somewhat random example is https://github.com/ogham/rust-ansi-term/blob/master/src/styl...
I was pretty sure I had COVID in November '20. Everyone else in my household had it, and we didn't isolate from each other really stringently. I had a mild sore throat for a couple of days. Never got tested because I was "quarantined" anyway for the close contacts.

Finally I went and got a COVID antibody test to satisfy my curiosity, which was negative on all factors.

I have been supplementing vitamin D and zinc since March '20, but I'm not sure that would have prevented antibody formation if I was infected. Seems to me it would not, but that's not based on any really informed judgment.
Thanks.

That is nice but consider a broader point of view please:

If not carefully choosing offline-only software, then almost everything demands internet access nowadays. All of those things will claim that they handle my data safely. Obviously that cannot be true, leaks do still happen.

So from the perspective of someone who has to actually install, use and frequently update a dozen of Android apps, it is much easier to stick to only using such which do not want internet access instead of constantly having to read a very large amount of changelogs because all software you use is hooked up to the internet.
Some of the schools around me closed for a day in late January 2020 to clean due to an influenza outbreak. I thought it was strange at the time since there was no evident increase in illness among adults I know. I figure it was a bad strain that had been lying dormant for a while, so kids had no immunity to it. It was very specifically stated at the time to be influenza, as opposed to just higher-than-normal absences due to non-specific diseases. I think the absence rate was something like 30%.
I'll assume my perspective is naive here, so feel free to correct me, but, at least with the case of bitcoin, having an immutable transaction history doesn't seem to be a way to promote privacy, as evidence by the Dread Pirate Roberts transaction history, and where that got him. A "privacy by design" would have tumbling/anonymity built in, which isn't a requisite for a blockchain, and not part of the most famous one, bitcoin.
SpaceMouse works just fine on laptops, it's just kind of pointless when your software is pushing 15fps because of the shitty graphics card. You can't get Quattro cards on laptops, as far as I know. So anyone using CAD software regularly is stuck using desktops.
