It is one reason (not the only reason) why I prefer licensing that does not require attribution. Unfortunately, all licensing (other than public domain equivalents) seems to require attribution.

The warranty disclaimer is also important for this reason too. You can still accept bug reports and questions and that stuff, although doing so should not be required. You should not necessarily expect the author of any computer program (open source or not) to accept such questions and reports; it is up to them to do so (and may charge money to do so, or it may be free of charge).

I think what he's saying is there's a survivorship bias i.e. 100% of history bachelors don't care about job prospects because the people who did already quit the field or never entered it.

As to why it wouldn't dissuade them... some people are more passionate than other I suppose.
Unfortunately, he overstated his crime for the sake of the impact of the apology. He called himself a "sexual predator".

Being horny and trying to convince people of the opposite sex to have sex with you isn't being a predator. Being a predator is drugging women, or pressuring underage women.

...but I don't think him overstating his crime is grounds for people firing him - especially given that this had happened over a decade earlier.

To me the lesson here is that you should never apologize publicly. The people that demand it, do so for the wrong reasons, and the people that benefit from an apology, probably prefer something personal and direct - not some public show.

Public apologies are just porn.
I would be curious to see a "windows picture" or something test. I don't remember the name but the default app for opening images in windows 10 is so slow that it feels like a joke.
HDD have been slow since before Windows 10 was announced. I was converting friends to SSDs during the Windows 7 era. At least on HN I would expect technical-minded people to have some perspective on the speed of storage mediums and how _fast_ and _cheap_ solid state drives are. Yes, I said cheap.

A crappy SSD from a good brand is £70/TB (Samsung 860 QVO), and it is ORDERS (plural) of magnitude faster an a hard disk drive.

You can run whatever you want on antiquated hardware, but please people, stop complaining about it and get on with the times already.
I agree completely and that's my point. Evaluation is hard.

Separately from that, many people believe having people be in office leads to a higher chance of them doing work because the alternatives are much less enticing.

Not every issue is about general-purpose computing.

Whether you have control over your own device or not, you still can't craft an Algorithm For Truth, because there isn't one. The information that you would want to know from a news site, like "Was the election stolen?", "Was Iraq actually hiding WMDs?", "Did Russia actually invade Ukraine?", "Did the moon landing really happen?", "Were these leaked documents forged?", those all exist outside of your computer. The closest you can possibly get is by establishing a chain of custody from whoever gathered the information leading to you, which your HTTPS connection already does. Figuring out whether the site you're connected to is actually telling the truth or not isn't something that having root access would help with.
I think Stratechery accurately called Microsoft's strategic shift: https://stratechery.com/2018/the-end-of-windows/ around the time that Nadella showed up to save them.

I think Apple is better positioned with total vertical integration to lay the ground work for the next platform (AR) and has been doing so for years now. They'll ship some hardware when the time is right.

They've repeated this approach since the iPod successfully, never first to market, but laying the ground work before shipping the best in class product.

FB (Zuck specifically) recognizes the next platform and Oculus is a bet to win it. Their issue is they don't have their own phone OS, the Oculus platform they have to build up from scratch (which they've done a decent job doing). They also have a brand issue (I personally dislike their ad-driven business model).

It'll be interesting to see what hardware Apple ships - the UI potential for AR is enormous and very cool. I know Zuck sees this and is public about it, Apple is acting in such a way that they definitely see it - they're just quiet about it until they ship.

Looking at tiny glass displays will be a funny anachronism of our time.

My SO tries to grow avocados using stones collected from store-bought fruit.

If they don't achieve a critical mass of leaves, they eventually wither and die.

How, and how much, do you personally feel student athletes should be compensated?

Should anyone actually care that West Nowhere State can't afford to compete against Alabama in football or KSU in basketball, since they never could have in the first place?

How much under the table money will these just be getting above board/visible to laymen (and isn't this a good thing when it comes to large state schools being accountable to taxpayers?)
>When I interact with people, I don't see race/color/age/sex.

No offense but this is such a silly thing to say. EVERYONE sees race/age/sex. Most people also change how they interact with others based on their age/sex and that's perfectly fine (if you're basing it on race that's an issue unless you're literally in a foreign country with a different culture). I don't talk to a 2 year old girl in the same tone of voice and vocabulary that I talk to a 40 year old man. If you're treating a 2 year old and a 40 year old the same, we've probably discovered one of many problems with your interpersonal skills.

>Making any comments about female coworker fashion terrifies me.

Why? Again this is all pretty straightforward. Couple simple rules: don't stop by the same persons desk every day and compliment their fashion, that gets creepy.

"I like those earrings, they look great" - no problem.

"Hey I really like the way that shirt fits your body" - problem

>Maybe I wasn't clear in my post, but my point is that I have an irrational fear.

And my point is that you're saying you are knowingly and intentionally treating your female coworkers significantly different than your male coworkers, and that's kind of weird, and will likely lead to more issues than if you just treat them the same...
"The closest process to artificial photosynthesis humans have today is photovoltaic technology, where a solar cell converts the sun’s energy into electricity. That process is famously inefficient, able to capture only about 20% of the sun’s energy. Photosynthesis, on the other hand, is radically more efficient; it is capable of storing 60% of the sun’s energy as chemical energy in associated biomolecules."

Hmmmm, not sure about those efficiency claims .... "For actual sunlight, where only 45% of the light is in the photosynthetically active wavelength range, the theoretical maximum efficiency of solar energy conversion is approximately 11%."

By the same token, there's only a few dozen athletic programs with athletes who would probably be paid if not for NCAA rules banning pay.

Please don't post ideological flamewar comments to HN. This thread is mostly, though not entirely, managing to stay on the substantive side. Jumping straight into the flames is not a good idea and is destructive, if not outright vandalism. HN isn't for this so please don't do it here.

Worker productivity is measured as "amount of goods" over number of employees. If you say "revenue" is the same as "amount of goods" then Amazon gives you:

386.1b dollars / 798k workers = $483,834.58 / worker

That's impressive, but...
Alibaba: $717.3b / 251k workers = $2.8m / worker
FlipKart: $436.2b / 30k workers = $14.5m / worker
Texas Instruments: $14.38b / 30k workers = $468k / worker
G.E.: $75b / 174k workers = $431k / worker

I would agree with your assertion that it is one of the most productive companies to have ever existed, but so are a lot of other companies and they don't seem to hire people just to fire them later.

And heck, the last company I worked for was a small firm capitalized with several tens of thousands of dollars from its founders followed by a $75k angel round. Its revenues last year were around $38m with a staff of about 45 people or around $800k / worker. And they achieved it with a couple orders of magnitude less investment than AMZN.
>So when plants consciously grow edible parts to themselves in exchange for seed dispersal,

Depends on the plant and the kind of life cycle they have, in some cases, yes they slowly die after.

Even if they don't, think of human pregnancy and childbirth. Human mothers suffer a fair amount even during pregnancy as their nutrients are shared between their young and they grow inside them.

When plants produce fruits and seeds, they stop vegetative growth for the duration of this, the send any available nutrients to the seeds and fruit, thereby depriving the rest of the plant of needed nutrients. Post fruit production, it typically takes at least a season before vegetative growth begins.

>Do they suffer when they drop leaves every autumn?

Yes, they go dormant and can't feed themselves or grow. Sometimes overwintering trees or plants will die from the stress.

When I say suffering, I mostly mean, show visible signs of either stress or delayed growth, or other things plants typically 'suffer' from when mistreated or grown in poor conditions.

Whether it's the same as an animal suffering, I don't know and I doubt anyone could know or if it even matters. Animals and plants are fundamentally different, the way they display their 'suffering' is not really comparable. What we see as suffering in animals comes from our own experiences with suffering. We have no possible way to empathize or experience plant suffering so we have no actual way to ever truly understand how they may or may not 'feel' the same way we ever will with animals.

Mainly that people are good at different things so I wouldn't want to compare two people on only one task. I don't really see how that interjection is particularly relevant for the point I'm making though.
BTW, if you're wondering "how did this person get into this mindset in the first place?" then that would be a good question.

I've never been personally accused of anything like this.

But... I've looked at past incidents both in the public light and privately among friends and worried that I might have inadvertently screwed up.

For example, the whole PyCon dongle joke incident. This is a case where a couple of guys were being immature and made some sexual joke about dongles. A woman in front of them overheard it, snapped their picture, posted it on Twitter, and they got fired (at least one posted an apology IIRC). Could I have made a dongle joke at a social event in my early 20s? You bet I could have! Esp. because, as an introvert programmer, these kind of events were a great place for me to socialize (vs bars, clubs, etc).

I've witnessed people get called out for much much less. I just don't ever want to be on that side of the table.
Well, they did a fantastic job on blurring that nickname...

Also the vaccines are practically irrelevant unless someone is worried about being hospitalized. All governments and vaccine manufactures have been clear, vaccine does not prevent transmission

Edit: People pointing out that vaccines do prevent transmission after all... In that case what is the problem with people choosing to be unvaccinated?
I don't think anyone is inclined to believe one way or the other. It is a gray area and with the way you described what you did, it certainly seems plausible.

You even say you were drunk and did stupid things. It is plausible that you wouldn't even remember doing it.
> You got burned for being a sexual predator.

Except he did not. He got burned for a blog post apology -- where he called himself a sexual predactor. No apology, no burning.
This looks really slick. I like how compact the UI is. It almost feels like it's part of the OS and just kind of blends into the background and gets out of your way. It makes full-window apps like Zoom and Discord feel quite clunky / antiquated by comparison. Congrats on launching!
I tend to be in the same boat wrt WFH. I like it for being out 2 or 3 days in the week but any more it just turns me batty and I'm mostly reclusive.
Yep. BlackLivesMatter is semantically overloaded. There's the notion of BlackLivesMatter, of which only real racists disagree. Then there's the organization BlackLivesMatter, which has some very anti-traditional-western views that undermine the name.

What distinguishes a Ponzi scheme is that it promises returns that are paid out with money from new investors. What makes it a fraud is that the source of these returns is misrepresented. It is mathematically doomed to fail eventually.

A commodity like cryptocurrency (or precious metal) doesn't have returns. It may appreciate, depreciate or maintain its value. If the only argument for its appreciation is that "some bigger fool than me will find it to be more valuable", then that still does not make it a Ponzi scheme, nor does it make it a fraud.
I had assumed that it was like other vaccines, but I was wrong. The CDC does say most people with underyling conditions may get the vaccine. I'm not sure it is recommended or not, however. I would think that for some of these conditions a doctor may recommend against a patient getting it, at least until more data comes out.

I wouldn't be surprised if there exists a medical reason or combination of medical reasons that makes it so you shouldn't receive it though, but it is probably very rare like you say.
If you actually want to know the answer to that question, you can easily discover it by means of google, and would have done so by now. If you don't, history tells me that nothing I can tell you in a reasonable amount of my time will make a difference. So I'll bow out now.

For anyone else who may be viewing this, I'll mention something I thought was obvious, but may not have been obvious enough: a lot of the utility is in the stage of being potential. For instance, while Ethereum has the potential to perform that same number of transactions per second as the Visa network, that is something that will be coming with the sharding and rollups I mentioned in my original post.
"the kind of rockstar ninja wizard that can glean multiple offers from all sorts of top tech companies"

An argument presented in this case is that increased pay to college athletes will incentivize them to spend more time on their athletics and less on their academics.
How convincing do you find that argument, applied to athletes in a) Top Tier D1 Football programs, b) D1 programs but for less hyper-commercialized sports (say track, or volleyball), and c) D2 or D3 athletes with little-to-no aspirations of a future in professional athletics
I remember posting this exact meme in an article on my blog and then cross-posted to a different site. Was asked to remove it from the site due to "how it objectifies women and perpetuates shallow stereotypes". I didn't give a fuck, but I removed it because they make their rules. Of course, I left it on my blog.

Slightly adjacent to the article, I don't think Apple cares all that much about the AR metaverse/ecosystem.

My own prediction, using many of the same data points as the author, is that Apple is trying to create a suite of features that act as a sort of Software Personal Assistant. For years Apple has consistently put in better sensors and larger TPUs than strictly necessary for the expected lifetime of the device. We're already seeing some of the results of this with the Health app.

Apple understands the profit potential of platforms, so they'll make some of the data that enables these features to App Developers and that in turn may enable AR, but I doubt any Apple executives are seriously focused on bringing AR capabilities to developers.
"just don't engage" is not a solution. When BLM burns down cities and Trump supporters storm government buildings, these memes become something much larger. "just don't engage" is the modern day equivalent of fiddling while Rome burns.

Is this just a fancy/confusing of way of saying “Apple is building an AR ecosystem”?

To the OP point, that's just not a ponzi scheme. If the early investors were getting some kind of dividend that was actually just new investor inflows repurposed, then sure. But something with an advertised market value, that is just people buying and selling the shares, is not a ponzi scheme by itself. It's just misuse of the word. Pump and dump, sure. Ponzi scheme, no.

I eat sprouted mung raw and I haven't died yet, should I cook them?

As for soaking before cooking, I used to soak lentils (brown) and mung but it's not needed if they are cooked (35min with lid on). Only larger legumes needs to be soaked or cooked much longer than 35min.
Yep, it's fine unless you use a dark mode, in which case it looks like this:

https://i.imgur.com/7XwxrSb.png

If you're not using dark mode, it's #EBEBEB on #121212, which has plenty of contrast:

https://contrast-ratio.com/#%23EBEBEB-on-%23121212

If you're using dark mode, it doesn't simply do nothing, which would be the reasonable approach with those colors, it gives you that light gray text on #FFFFFF pure white background. It's basically the opposite of dark mode.
It would be nice if the title mentioned what was affected, perhaps something like "CVE-2021-20226: io_uring privilege escalation via reference counting bug".
"both at the same time" blew my mind!

I have two gripes with Déjà Dup (or rather had, the last time I reviewed my backup setup several years ago):

- It can only do one set of backup settings and consequently only one backup destination without additional tooling, which is not Right™.

- It cannot add different prefixes to the names of index and data files, making it impossible to set up S3 lifecycle rules for dumping the latter to Glacier. (Duplicity requires the former to be hot for some reason, I don’t know why.)

Both of those are things you can do with the underlying Duplicity tool and a scheduler, but the UI does not expose them. Thus I sadly had to discard Déjà Dup’s shiny GNOME UI, and I know of no other backup tool with a shiny GNOME UI (and am too lazy to write one so far).

Have any parts of this become false?
