Ignoring the ford conspiracies how exactly should jaywalking be treated then? It's both a danger to the drivers and the people.

We can't get rid of cars and streets. That cat is over a hundred years outside of the bag. It's moved on, had it's own family, and died.

Jaywalking as a punishable offense makes sense to me at least. The level of punishment is often excessive certainly. $250 fine for stepping onto the street is far too much for a first offense (but perhaps for a habitual jaywalker it makes sense). Hell, I'm guilty of doing it a lot in my exurb area. However, when I do it it's because there's 2 miles between posted crosswalks and I make sure I can cross safely before trying. There aren't enough crosswalks - certainly.

Jaywalking laws create important predictability. I can assume that the average civilian is deterred by jaywalking law enough to not randomly step out onto the street at will. This means I can anticipate them only at crosswalks and intersections. You're already busy dodging drivers distracted with doing anything but driving (makeup, listening to podcasts, eating, reading a book, etc). If we didn't have these laws the risk to driving would be much higher. Many people think humans stand no chance against cars, but one errant jaywalker going through a car window can kill everyone in the vehicle given sufficient enough velocity. It's important to remember a 45 mph impact on a ~125-200 pound human carries with it tremendous momentum. Assuming they don't go through the car window, that same flying body can do lethal damage to law abiding people walking on the sidewalks.

The UK doesn't have jaywalking laws. I understand that. But the UK is far more "walkable". The US is by-and-large not. Especially as you get into "normal" towns and not major metros like LA and NYC. I would be willing to agree jaywalking laws need to be done away with if the US was more walkable.
Nothing is thoughtless, if we're being pedantic assholes about the situation who only care about protecting Apple from mean words.

For the sake of conversation though, yeah, I'd argue that Safari is the most thoughtless among the mainstream browsers. Compared to Firefox, Edge, Chrome and even Brave or Vivaldi, Safari is a less compatible, less up-to-date, less secure and less cared-about experience.
move fast, break things

Where “things” in this case is the restaurants you’re delivering for.

Is Google still prioritizing links to whichever delivery service they have a deal with over actual restaurant sites? I seem to remember they were doing that.
You think homework is useless? That’s the main way to learn…
With pure code you cannot really do much of practical value. You can perhaps compute values, solve relational or logic problems, do math, etc., but you only end up with results at the end of computations. Even that may require monads to print out or somehow follow a specific sequence, if the language is pure enough. Pure lazy code simply won't do anything, and evaluation order of lazy execution is variable, undefined even. Purity taken too far, won't do anything useful by itself.

So you use monads to add magic while starting off evaluations, often in specific sequences. They make up code blocks that are explicit about having side-effects. So are often used to separate pure code from impure code, as the magic monads can do could be anything one would like to add. So it's kind of like an impure addon to the existing language, but also by being explicit and more precise about the taints on purity. Each monad do different things, so are kind of like different addons.

However, monads may generally be used purely too. They are more general tools than just the famous IO monad. So the concept of monads are reused for abstraction. It's useful that so many things are solved by reusing the same general pattern. To explain all of that would require more context of the language itself, ie. Haskell. I'm sure somone with more experience has a short and easy explanation! :)

There are StackOverflow pages and such that have good explanations for those with a bit of familiarity with Haskell.
I Suck at Naming Python Modules
It depends on the strength of the worker's background, his or her country of citizenship, etc., but, assuming that the worker is not from a country with its own work visa (Australia, Canada, Chile, Mexico, and Singapore), then an L-1 intracompany transferee visa is often the fastest but where this doesn't apply, then the O-1 (which also isn't subject to an annual lottery), the E-1 and E-2 (which also isn't subject to an annual lottery), and the H-1B.
There's generally a required class that involves implementing a chip design on an FPGA.

A very small fraction of people getting EE degrees actually go into IC design and it would probably be very expensive/a logistical nightmare to put such a large number of students through this type of class.
Capitalists are in control of the state, so of course they do. Try taking over your workplace, the police will come for you.
Unfortunately this is outside my area although they appear to be important issues.
> We need open tabs, we need to see what’s open at all times, and we need to be able to quickly jump to the tab we need in the here and now.

I’m working on Amna which tackles the too many tabs problem, and this is a huge generalization. I can have 22 tabs open just for single task. For example opening two HN articles in new tabs will bring the total to 3. Seeing what’s open all the time is overwhelming to most users. I’m a fan of the new tab groups and unlike chrome which puts a bunch of dots, Safari neatly sends tabs away to work with less clutter and a blank slate.
Not clear what your argument against school choice is.

Not sure what you mean by “optimizing local maximums at the expense of everything else”. It almost sounds like an argument but there’s no substance.

You claim that public education should focus on the lowest common denominator so we can avoid an underclass susceptible to manipulation. That’s both a weak justification to purposely damage public education and condescension shown by elites when poor people don’t vote the way “they should”.
Localization settings are distinct from location, they're just defaults. You can read Google in German right here in the US, etc...

The author was concerned about losing privacy protection offered by Google to people in Germany as required by German law. Which is nonsensical, because German law does nothing to protect you in Maylasia.
> Which is why many people choose to go to private schools if you want to not be limited by this.

Familiar with expensive Private schools Household names send their kids too in CA. It's generally harder to fail a student, sometimes explicitly impossible & against school policy.
> Rates of sex and relationships among men and young boys have dropped precipitously.

Perhaps I am reading this wrong, but it sounds a lot like you want a return of pederasty? Let's assume you mean relationships and sex with people of similar ages, what ages should we imagine when you say "young boys"?
> Please remember that I can't provide legal advice on specific cases for obvious liability reasons because I won’t have access to all the facts.

See above. Perhaps edit your question to make it about the general laws?
I would only trust my own server and even then.
If it creates jobs and doesn't do anything, it is bad, like anything else that has a cost but no benefits. Jobs are costs -- they force you to spend your life doing one thing when you could be doing all manner of other useful things. Only if your job produces useful things does that benefit outweigh the cost of having to spend your life on it.
Ask HN: Updating to Big Sur on an Intel Mac, do you now get Kernel Panic issues
There seems to be a little know, but crippling bug that is happening on Intel Based Mac's ever since the update to Big Sur. The issue is related to a single task callef kernel_task taking 500% or more of your CPU power when you plug in an external USBC connection, for instance a monitor or even the standard charging cable. So far Apple have not acknowledged it, but there are discussions on forums. No fixes have been made in all the updates to Big Sur.

I wondered, is this a common problem?

Here are more descriptions of the issue:

The performance is still too bad for anything but Java on real applications. The other killer feature, ahead of time compilation, is really clunky, and its most innovative change, static initialization at build time by default, was reverted to runtime initialization.
"New thing not perfect!"
Ok, I'll bite. Why does the DRM and anti-cheat software need to run while a game is not running?
Not really, because the blue-supremacist newspapers won't publish any of the other perspectives - they're also going to say that the blue man cannot survive in a society with orange people. You won't hear any of the stories where things are fine.

The problem with p-hacking is you need to honestly report the negative results too, not that you need to also find "statistically significant" results reporting the opposite effect.

But yes, if you consciously make an effort to find extremist sources from all possible points of view (and in the real world, that's rarely the same as "both points of view"), and if you make a point of reading them all critically and skeptically, then that is likely to get you a more balanced perspective about things on the margins. Can you find a story about life as a black teacher in a majority-white school published by a black supremacist/separatist organization?
Sometimes you copy what you want sometimes you copy the message with the metadata and sometimes copy doesn’t work. Pasting stuff from other sources will cause some weird table elements to appear. There is no way to format code. Sometimes it says the message is too big but then you paste the same message into notepad and copy paste again it works just fine. The text editor and visualization seems to be arctifacts of a bygone era where everything was rich text.

I’m not sure if it’s the clipboard because my employer does not allow shared drives, clipboard, usb or any resource from my local machine except for mic and webcam.

Ohhh and let’s talk abou the HUGE black ribbon at the top of the screen when you are sharing your window. It totally covers the browser tabs. You have to restore the window and switch tabs and maximize it again. It _is_ an unmitigated disaster that degrades the overall experience.
I think the argument goes like this. Either their local government is well run even if the state and or federal government is a mess local services like water and sewer just work fine. Alternatively, they think their local ISP is terrible and while they dislike their local government it seems slightly more competent.

That’s not to say their correct, but I am saying what’s actually happening is a power grab even if it’s spoken of as reducing power.
> Every user thinks they're the aggregate "users", though. That their personal opinion and take is universal.

Because it is. Ultimately, your comfort is the only thing that matters when you're using a computer (particularly Macs). If something doesn't operate in the way that you want it to, why is that not a valid argument for replacing it?
Sorry, I meant in general in HN, not anything specific to Texas.
A verified compiler is not panacea, but rust is because of unsubstantiated claims of its marketing professionals? This is total nonsense.
On the upside Bush is beautiful and very enjoyable rural while not being too far from Nola or Hammond.

I would drive around New Orleans for years and never get hit for brake tags or anything but if I went across to St Tammany for literally a weekend I would get slammed.

Hopefully you can get that taken care of. Small Town cops don't have anything else to do but traffic law.
On one hand AMD stuff might still not be too easy to get.

In my case I had to wait ~1 month to get a server having a Ryzen 9 5950X (the AX101 here https://www.hetzner.com/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ax ). I was willing to pre-order & wait indefinitely, other people might want a server "now".

On the other hand during the pre-Zen3 era I personally didn't feel an urge to swap from Intel to AMD (I didn't feel like there was a lot of difference of performance/price). This has changed for me with Zen3 so maybe things will change during the next months... .
The processing time is completely unknown right so we'll have to wait and see and premium processing isn't available - although where the circumstances are very, very compelling, it's possible to request expedited review (with such requests rarely granted).

You are right - I searched "adblock safari."

If changes are going to actively hamper use, why wouldn't people get worked up? This very article is a prime example of bad design affecting usability. Same with what I've seen of Android 12. Huge quick shortcut buttons that take up half the screen in the notification shade. 2 toggles where now I have 5. This is terrible. "live with it"? No

That's like saying humans have been enslaving (among other things. this is just one example) other humans since the dawn of civilization and on a large scale, that didn't stop the growth of art, culture, science etc.

But our ethics progress and evolve. Similarly, treating other species as commodities for our consumption has been done for millennia but it doesn't mean we should keep doing it.
Disclaimer: I'm a Googler. These are my personal opinions.

Email is a small part of things I care about. Moreover, there's snowflake's chance in hell I succeed at convincing every correspondent to switch to e2e encryption and off services no more trustworthy than Google or Microsoft. So, the technical premise of ProtonMail doesn't help.

When it comes to Swiss privacy law... I'm already protected by GDPR. Google is a juicy and politically convenient target for most countries, so I'm not worried about its compliance. And I'd rather stick to a company with a legal team equipped to wrestle with government overreach.

Finally, I feel perfectly fine trusting Google to keep my private things private. I keep copies of important documents in Drive. Realistically, the highest risk vector for them leaking is someone pwning my machine.
It was a good episode! I can hear the locals talking in my head just remembering it. It’s worth a watch if you’re into architectural television.

I think you are missing the point that it's not at all about that.

The title is in essence a cypher or "speaking in code"; it means something rather different to people who have the correct key. I don't mean that in any condescending way, but that is what it is. Just read it as "Declining trust in {condition of control} is denting the {conditioning of control}" … "Declining trust in the rider is denting the obedience of the horse"

It's essentially like when parents speak in euphemisms or use substitute words to convey the actual meaning. The difference being though that it's also a kind of activation phrase or trigger phrase to execute a certain preconditioned sequence in different audiences; e.g., "that person gives me stuff when I vote for him, therefore I need to keep being able to vote, which makes democracy a 'good' thing that I need to protect". It's something that certain people have long ago figured out and have a long history of using to manipulate people and things in their favor. Once you start understanding just how sophisticated it all is, it's hard to not be utterly impressed by it. THAT's the real nature of the "simulation" theory and also why the reaction to the "NPC" meme was so harsh and disproportionately swift. When you have people in mental Matrix pods living a life they are not even aware is controlled by outside forces, let alone is a ruse, and you are totally dependent on that system remaining in place to continue living a life of excess and decadence; you will do anything to keep it that way. I hope we will get to the point one day where people realize this … realize that the core that manifested itself as slavery and serfdom and feudalism really never ended, it just pivoted, as we call it here.

It may make a lot more sense to people when you read the headline as "Declining trust in the divinity of/dependency on the ruling class is denting the system of psychological control over the serfs" … and you realize it is meant to activate the above sequences that concludes that democracy is "good" because it leads to free stuff.
We had Zoom at our workplace for longer than most people knew what it was and I still have not installed it on my own PC. If I don't need to have myself on video, I run zoom on the work machine I'm remoted into and use my phone for the audio. If I need to use video, I use the application installed on my iPad since I trust that it's even more sandboxed than my Android device. I would rather not have the application installed on any of my personal devices, but that's the closest I can get when it comes to keeping Zoom away from my stuff.
Think of the climate people in the 80ies.

The retired "engineer" can talk about engineering, he just can't present expert witness in a trial.

Also, he was never licensed as an engineer, it's not as if his engineering license lapsed after testimony.

You can throw out all expert testimony in the US if you wish, I guess that would put CSI out of business.

"I think we need to take a much more nonjudgmental view of the human family, and the kinds of family structures in which children can thrive"

A strange conclusion. After spending the rest of the article describing ways in which dads matter, why would the article pivot to essentially say all methods are equal?

Different circumstances create different pressures and evolve different behaviors. Choosing and socially encouraging the best ones is important. Isn't that being judgemental?

Sure, there's room for variety. But, as a society, you should be somewhat choosey.
That's not quite the whole story. The new 3.49% is when you choose "old school pay with Paypal".

For online:

If you use it like Stripe, to take a credit card payment (where the end user doesn't know you're using Paypal), their rates are lower than Stripe. 2.59%+$0.49 (Paypal) vs 2.9%+$0.30 (Stripe).

For in-person, as a "normal" credit card reader: 2.29% + $0.09. Ignoring in-person old school Paypal, as I don't believe anyone really uses that.

Though, for in-person, I would guess a regular old merchant account would be a better idea than Paypal, Square, or Stripe. So many transactions are debit cards, which are dirt cheap if you just use a a normal merchant account. Way cheaper than Stripe, Paypal, Square, etc.
Either the O-1 or the IEPP (or an E-2 if he or she is from a country with a treaty of commerce and trade with the US). Also, an H-1B could work but really only where there are other founders such that this person's ownership interest would be less than 50% and no higher than any other founder/owner.

Google employs a few people who have a commit bit, but they are handed out via consensus among the whole team, not by a single company or its employees.
I mostly agree, but if you use US English GUI locale there’s a shortcut — both new settings, and old control panel, have built-in search.

Very often I don’t bother opening either of them, instead using start menu search. For instance, to open the old “network and sharing center” GUI I press Win key, type “netw”, and press enter.
Yeah but a real life version of Harrison Bergeron may be the cheapest lowest effort easiest to bureaucratize way to do it.

Actually understanding and then adjusting to differences in learning style, cultural background, etc. is really hard work and is really hard to scale. It’s an art form not something that can be mass produced or reduced to a simple set of rules.
It's annoying, but foundationional to how Notion works. It's a giant tree, and there's not a lot of difference between a page and a block. This modularity is what makes Notion great - you can dump a whole bunch of text of page and not worry about having to reorganize and break formatting later.
It doesn't matter. Revenue is always maximized, this is not a non-profit event, they absolutely dont care about how they could come out breakeven.

Also there is essentially no competition. If you want to watch that kind of sport you cant really choose. And if you wanna play that sport on that level you also can not choose.
It's worth noting that this measure is almost entirely meaningless, and created in large part as a way to get people to subscribe to The Economist.

That's not to say that it isn't worth monitoring people's trust in government, civil liberties, political culture, etc., just that there's no really good way to do that.
> Almost every piece of software (and hardware) in a computer is driven by incremental improvements backed by research

You don't. But why use that space to put the tab bar which DOES require the entire width? Chrome's and Firefox's compromise seems good enough where they stuff everything else to the right and left of the address bar except tabs. This Safari change is just awful
