IKEA produces excellent quality for the price. People who think it's low quality usually don't glue it together or attach it to the wall when appropriate.
My understanding is that even once the manager has filled their team with top performers they'll keep hiring every year for the sole purpose of firing them later in order to meet the quota
Also Fairfax county, also 90s; the only exposure I got to finances in school was in 8th grade Civics class. We spent maybe a week on it.
Aah I see what you mean
> The problem is that there is no justice system for things that are not illegal, but are ethically or morally bad.

That's not a problem, that's a feature!

After all, do you want to be punished for breaking someone else's moral code?

Whether you like it or not, the legal system and the sets of laws is the only moral and ethical yardstick we have gotten society to agree on.

If you want your particular set of morals to have a punishment then work within the guidelines to get it made into a law.

If you can't garner enough support for your moral position to be made into law then maybe it's not as moral as you think.
$1000/m day care per kid (+/- 50% depending on school quality and where you live, though I'm sure it's possible to spend even more than that). Or else whatever wages one parent is giving up to stay home, total, divided by # of kids needing daycare.

$500/m, maybe, on healthcare, for kids who aren't particularly sickly and don't have chronic conditions. Family insurance coverage levels this cost out a bit, though each kid increases the likelihood of accidents or illness, which is expensive. Birth cost is likely to hit whatever your max-individual-out-of-pocket cost is, and potentially double that if you time it very poorly.

Cost increases to housing and transportation vary a lot but I think $500/m is a fair low-side-of-average guess to put on that. You can technically avoid much of that, but usually only at costs most people won't accept if they can at all afford not to (e.g. sending your kids to bad/dangerous schools). This doesn't scale per-kid like day care does, though.

Food and other consumables.

Probably looking at $5,000-$15,000 for each birth, unless you spread too much of the pregnancy over two years (if you get all the pre-natal care in one deductible year, and the actual birth in another, that's very bad). This assumes none of the kids are actually sick. Three kids (minimum for statistical above-replacement rate) and we're talking $15,000-$45,000 paid for births, and probably $30,000-40,000/yr while they're young (daycare), dropping to maybe $15,000-$20,000/yr when they're a little older, total, for all three. Food, clothes, incidentals all (very roughly) included. Again, assuming your kids are basically healthy—any chronic illness can add hundreds to thousands per month, easily.

Yeah, it's a fuckton of money, and a whole lot of risk on top of what you're nigh-guaranteed to spend.

At least you get a tax credit to pay for a small fraction of it. That's nice.

Mine are in early grade school or about to enter school. Did a mix of some stay-at-home-parent and some daycare. I reckon we're approaching half a million spent so far, which would have had us well on the way to early retirement. I'm not counting opportunity cost. Way the market's done, that'd be well on the way to a million now. We've taken, like, one of them on a non-long-weekend vacation ever (the others weren't born yet, it's not like we ditched them), and none of them have ever flown anywhere, so we're not spending lavishly on vacations. Public school (so far, anyway). Mostly cheap "activities" (swimming lessons at the community center, stuff like that). We're in a low-cost-of-living area. Having kids took us from guaranteed, comfortable early retirement to... well, frankly I don't expect to be able to stop working until I'm not physically able any more.
There was a starter on the football team in my graduating class at umich cs. The only explanation of how he found the time I can think of is he had tutors do most of the work for him.
Your GP comment was just fine, but where you went with this one and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27573815 is not cool. Please don't lash out like that in HN comments. When unfairly downvoted, remember that corrective upvotes are a thing (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&sor...) and misclicks are also a thing, and please just move on.

Complaints like this, besides being tedious and breaking the site guidelines, usually also end by being uncollected off-topic garbage when the original comment gets corrective upvotes, as yours has.

A private apology is different from a public apology. The former helps victims move on, the latter is for third parties to move on.

In either case, a good apology should show some sincere character development on your part.
I occasionally screwed it up even with a GUI, possibly because I was trying to recover something and then got lost. Once I had to abandon the master branch for a year because I didn’t know how to fix it.

A year later I had probably learned how to force push correctly and took hold of it again.

However I do think the GUI is great for git and that’s why I use GitHub Desktop. It’s super simple. Most other GUIs try to wrap git concepts too closely for comfort.

I resonantly had an argument on here where somebody insistent that breaking because of over-passes were issues with vision system. Seem pretty clear that it is the resolution of the radar, not the shadow of the bridge that causes the issue. Good to get some more insight into this.

This is the right thing to focus on, as it is by far the largest issue with Autopilot on the highway. Multiple people who do testing of these system that false positives on some highway overpasses are the biggest usability issue.
In general, the term 'metaverse' is commonly used in the AR/VR space to describe virtual worlds. Today, in (virtual) reality it feels somewhat analogous to an "immersive operating system". It's the entry point for doing other things on a VR system.

Some examples: Roblox, Facebook Horizon, VRChat, NEOS
I think you're being too skeptical in this case. The point isn't the phone, it's that it comes with attachable Leica lenses.
No, this search was new in Vista (iirc).
When you askes "why" I thought it is about analyzing why. Now it seems to me that there is zero interest in "why".

> I'm sorry, but again read what the Trawniki did and tell me it's of the same order of magnitude than what other armies "regularly" did

Germans had units composed of criminals run by rapist. Like, literally guy convinced of that. It was largely uncontrolable body, not that anyone tried to controlled the rape away.

The history of armies and wars are people exactly like that. There were multiple genocides in history and it involves killing children each time. ISIS included. Rape included.
If we're going to use that terminology, note that the common phrase "innocent until proven guilty" applies to the court, and only to the court. That it must treat you as innocent until a guilty judgment is rendered.

It isn't some universal right or something, and has zero bearing on this conversation.

I'm not saying he's guilty or innocent. But if someone says "he did nothing illegal because he hasn't been charged" [which the comment I replied to claimed], eh... By some estimates only 5% of sexual assaults are reported to police, so it's a sensitive topic.

But that's orthogonal anyways. My core point was that if someone was a creep and causing discomfort at trade events while associated with a brand, it doesn't need to be illegal to have negative consequences.
I've tried to get onto a jury panel for IP cases. Defense attorneys do not want anyone with IP and computer skills anywhere near that panel. The easiest way to skip a jury is to claim forensic expertise. Judge William Alsup (Oracle vs. Google) is famous because he actually has sufficient CS understanding to tell when someone lies. https://www.theverge.com/2017/10/19/16503076/oracle-vs-googl...
Yes.
Apple could be building AR/VR hardware, but if you’re convinced they are, then you’ll start to mentally force everything they publish as a building block for said hardware.
Uhh.. no. I don't know if you ever hired or fired anyone, but, in US at least, if you don't want your unemployment insurance to go up, you want to be able to prove that it was a firing for cause. Perversely, in Amazon case what this means that manager has to hire an employee just bad enough that the 'for cause' firing will be ready for him and he/she just needs to document it.

I fail to understand how people do not see how this simple metric can be gamed. Am I the only person thinking in those weird terms imposed by the system?
How much of the slowdown has to do with the Spectre and Meltdown mitigations? There was a similar thread the other day about drastic performance hits on the Linux side.
I don't understand. If they are capable of changing over time, surely they are capable of looking back on their past selves and acknowledging what was wrong with them?
Marketing buzzwords.
Are trade secrets really worse? My (uninformed, anecdotal, unsubstantiated) intuition is that reverse engineering, or even just the knowledge that something is possible, ensures that trade secrets are no barrier to progress. While patents definitely seem like a barrier.
> 2. the extreme right is armed to the teeth and looks increasingly willing to use violence to slow their slide into irrelevancy and powerlessness.

Kind of a weird accusation. This is what the left did during the riots last summer. Of course the right would be provoked to retort in kind.
Even with Win10 LTSB there are updates. The last update did cost me 2 days of fixing my other Apps again.
Thanks! I am glad you are finding it useful (I work at scite)
> In your financial literacy class, try to explain the random behavior of the stock market and the scientifically demonstrated inability of people to pick individual stocks that will increase in value. Watch heads explode, unable to wrap their minds around the idea that certain mutual funds might be profitable many years in a row just from pure luck.

Tons of people on WSB understand these concepts. I am not saying to emulate the behavior of WSB, but these are not concepts that are out of the grasp of a typical teenager.
>> Perhaps you are being too charitable in assuming that the student was calling for Stallman’s head out of past trauma. It could be that the calling for his head was a performative act for her own benefit, boosting her in the eyes of others.

A lot of people who do the later actually have unresolved trauma issues. It's just harder for people to empathize with them because of their behaviour. The claim in psychology is that narcissistic people are actually using that to protect a deeply fragile ego. But then maybe psychologists just want to say everyone suffers from the same thing. We'd all be peace loving, sharing, commie hippies by default if nobody screwed us up ;-)

> They did not run camps

They did, keyword "AEL". Plenty Gestapo were SS-members too. Yes, there were some differences, but in many areas they did plenty of the same things, and were different parts of overall the same system.
I’m not too sure, have heard antidotally from a number of vets about how much time they spent untangling young enlisted personnel from stupid financial mistakes (e.g. high interest car/motorcycle loans, when they could have qualified for a low interest loan from the navy federal credit union)
The list of triggers contains things like 'motorcycles at night', so it seems its all in that dataset.
So the tweet paraphrased above, here is the link... Which again he didn't directly reply to and didn't say anything about groping anyone in his apology... Is it really that hard to link?

I'm not sure which number we care about. A $1 million mortgage at 2.5% is around 4k per month, as is a $300k mortgage at 15%.

One of those is less brittle than the other, though:

* Down payment on a $1M home is almost the cash price of a $300k home. Saving up for a down payment is analogous to saving up for a home.

* It's a lot easier to come up with $300k than $1M if I want to pay off the mortgage early and be free (and it's financially worthwhile). A $1M mortgage is a 30-year ball-and-chain.

* A lot of associated costs are lower. For example, if I sell a $1M home bought on margin, I'm out $50k in realtor fees. If I sell a $300k home on margin, I'm out $15k in realtor fees.

I'm not quite sure the right number to look at. Down payment doesn't seem like a bad one, though.
The curious thing about the past, present and future of AR... if there was low hanging fruit (in terms of irresistible applications) that people must absolutely have, love at first "sight" experiences, wouldn't it have happened already? with whatever crude software and hardware? Not as a gimmick but as persistent interest and investment[0].

People got busy with computers when computers were the size of houses. They carried mobile phones when phones were the size of suitcases. Is the proto-AR revolution happening somewhere out there without anybody noticing?

Its possible that there is no low hanging AR fruit. That somebody has to do the difficult job of climbing up the AR tree so to speak (refine the technology until it feels like magic).

It just seems that this would be an exception in how things played out so far in the "digital transformation" journey. Its the nature of the human brain to fill-in the gaps and overlook the rough edges when it really has an incentive to do so.

[0] investment in the sense of personal time by users, creators, business people etc to really learn and use the technology to scratch whatever itch they found it is scratching...
What is your definition of 'value'?

Further grist for the mill about the effectiveness of seccomp-style filtering for multitenant Docker, since it's unlikely anyone was filtering out `io_uring_setup`.
I was a contractor for Apple for 4 years and when I left a few months ago my new company let me choose windows or mac and I chose windows (mainly spite) but it’s really good now. I live in the command line and having full blown Ubuntu inside windows is great. Docker works as expected. On top of that ms office is wayyyyyy better on windows than mac. I won’t be switching my personal devices off arch anytime soon but I think windows is a better development platform than mac now (can’t believe I just wrote that)
So instead of helping her learn one of the many (free) web-based tax applications, you built her a new computer to run a new (paid) version of the tax software she was already using? How does that even make sense?
That seems pretty well-optimized, right? The employees value the money more than they value well-being, and the company values the money more than it values their well-being. That is pretty good alignment.

Also, why wouldn't you just work elsewhere and buy AMZN stock if that's all you want. Work at GOOG, sell your stock, buy AMZN stock.
A simple answer: The newly built houses are in less desirable areas. If you break down that statistic by location, you find that in basically every metro area, the prices have increased (and done so significantly, 2-3x). It's in suburban areas or less commonly desirable cities (Cleveland, Charlotte) where the real prices have decreased.

If your job opportunities aren't in Cleveland, that housing prices have decreased there doesn't really help you.
Don't focus on burgers. That is a specific example. This dynamic would play out with countless other items, raising the cost of living and partially if not fully cancelling out the increased wages of the people we're trying to help.
Are you objecting to Google's refusal to let her "unresign" then?

Btw plenty of us ex Googlers think Jeff Dean's reputation was enhanced still further by that move. Gebru was acting in crazy ways, she really should have been fired much earlier, but taking the opportunity when she so helpfully presented it seems like a no brainer. Sad that the rest of Google lacks that approach.
It is not projection. When you ask the question in an abstract way, it opens you up to seeing in way that's not clouded by preconception (something you seem to be doing.)

Do trees pass sugars on to their offspring? Yes. Is that projection? It was validated with scientific methods that tracked deuterated hydrogen. But you can see it as some kind of wacko imagination if you want to be a science denier.

And if you go back, you'll see I didn't say that plants should be treated like humans. Maybe you're the one with an imagination?
Apple products have every right to be great: after all, Apple is the largest company in the world. But they also have a duty to extend their services, one that they have sorely neglected for the past 15 years. I wouldn't be so angry at Apple if things like Airdrop, Handoff and Airplay were all open protocols. The only reason Apple doesn't extend these protocols is to have leverage over their competitors. It's not like any of the aforementioned technologies are impressive, either: they were all preceded by Warpinator, XDG and MPRIS, respectively. So Apple embraces these open-source concepts, extends them with proprietary interfaces and then extinguishes the source... where have I heard this one before?
How do renters not pay property tax? It's part of the cost of the property that the rent is based on.
This has nothing to do with biology, it's an argument from signal processing, which is well-understood theory (Nyquist's theorem and so on). If an object oscillates at 1 MHz, and you take 1 million still frames per second, it will rest in the same place in every frame, and thus look static. In reality, such an object would look blurred to the human eye.(+) It's this kind of artifact that motion blur (to be more precise, low-pass filtering) can avoid.

Edit: The article you linked to is very confused about some basic terminology. It equates response time artifacts of an LCD monitor that display sharp, digital images with motion blur. That's so wildly wrong I'm not even sure where to start. Maybe here: When displaying video, motion blur is a property of the source, response time one of the output device.

(+) Edit 2: To expand on this, the human vision system integrates arriving photons over time, and this way implicitly behaves a lot like a low-pass filter. A low-pass filter is different from a fixed-rate shutter, which is what people mean when they say the eye doesn't have a fixed framerate. However, there is a limited temporal resolution.

A more everyday example of this effect would be a dimmed LED. You can pulse an LED at 1 MHz, it will look dimmed, not blinking. But when filming/rendering this LED at 1 million still images per second, it will either be all on or all off, both of which are wrong (i.e., an artifact of your chosen shutter speed).
If pressuring women into sex is not illegal, I really want to know which country you are living in.
Trains are also great if you can sleep on the go. Board a train at night with no real wait. Settle in and sleep. Wake up halfway across the country. As long as you want to stop and explore (possibly small) cities along the way it's a great way to travel.
Last year we've seen people unironically arguing that healthy young people should have rights to go wherever they wanted to, and it's the government's job to scurry away old/vulnerable people so that they don't get in the way of young people doing whatever they want, err, I mean, protecting the economy.

Of course it was utterly unrealistic and there was no way it could have worked.

Now that we have vaccines, and an actually viable plan to "get back to the normal" faster by asking vulnerable people to please attend whatever meeting remotely as much as possible, we get to see indignant people claiming it's "ableist" to require vaccines in a global conference.

...why am I not surprised...
I don't follow American politics at the more local level closely so I hadn't looked into Yang before this, but I found a Youtube video of him being an anime character, and I immediately had to think of this, A German campaign clip from the 50s for Conservative candidate Adenauer(https://youtu.be/CyH49o5uQ5Q), popularizing one of the slogans that stuck for a long time "Keine Experimente", i.e. "no experiments".

It really is not new. Slogans and clever imagery are as old as popular media I guess. I'm also not sure it necessarily indicates that a movement is faddish. Most people who congregate under the BLM meme obviously know that it comes with a genuine movement with complex politics.

Of course, I think I can help.

What is trying to be communicated here is psychographic content will be delivered via standard device substrates existing in well aligned usage patterns that will no doubt delight the end-user with value. Metaverse here simply means they will deliver an experience that is parallel to user expectation yet orthogonal to the digital representation of the physical model of the prevailing social zeitgeist.

Or maybe someone just read Ready Player One recently, and is just thinking: We're going to build the Oasis but nobody could possibility understand what that is, I'll have to break it down into easy-to-misunderstand corpobabble.
I think you are right on this and it's a real bummer.

In Ellen Ullman's book Life in Code, she writes about Whitfield Diffie's (of Diffie-Hellman fame) speech at the 2000 Computers, Freedom, and Privacy conference in Toronto.

> "We were slaves to the mainframe! he said. Dumb terminals! That's all we had. We were powerless under the big machine's unyielding central control. Then we escaped to the personal computer, autonomous, powerful. Then networks. The PC was soon rendered to be nothing but a "thin client," just a browser with very little software residing on our personal machines, the code being on network servers, which are under the control of administrators. Now to the web, nothing but a thin, thin browser for us. All the intelligence out there, on the net, our machines having become dumb terminals again."

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. Smart people like Diffie saw this happening more than 20 years ago.

It's really made me rethink web apps that don't need to be web apps (including stuff like electron). Like you said, Microsoft has thrown in the towel and it seems now Apple is really the only platform making a compelling argument for native apps and keeping the computer smart.
I knew multiple people who graduated college with over $10k of revolving (credit card) debt at over 20% APR!

It is dreadfully easy to get lines of credit as a college student, and the banks specifically target students because they are a good combination of financially naive and likely to have high future earnings potential. My first week on campus I was handed over a dozen credit card applications.
