There are actually plenty of modular laptops. This one doesn't look terrible but there are plenty of other options.

Thinkpads have a pretty good reputation. You can also get big "desktop in a laptop" style PCs, and generally, the thick gaming laptops tend to be easy to work with. You can look at Clevo, which is known for being the OEM for many off-brand PCs, notably System76. If you are a bit more extreme, you can look at Panasonic Toughbooks: hardened, industrial laptops with plenty of swapable modules.

Framework have the advantage of being thin and light, most modular laptops are on the big side. It means it fits a niche. However, if re-usability is your goal, keep in mind that it is a startup, it may fail, and if that happens, forget about support and spare parts. By comparison, Lenovo is not going anywhere.
If the goal is to reduce the violence level to the point that only the police are committing violence, then that is not a good goal.

The issue here is that people have justifiable reason to think that the police themselves are breaking the law, in very brazen ways because the system that should hold them to account has broken down. When the system that maintains order breaks down, there is going to be violence, and trying to contain that violence to just the ones with the badges and guns is not a better outcome.

Reducing tensions at this point must begin with police not supporting every single police act of violence, no matter how obvious. Until that happens, anything that people do will be considered "raising tensions". Since the situation is lose-lose for them, you're the one who's going to have to reconsider what outcome you want.

The underlying problem is building permanent housing in areas that historically burn perennially. Outside of that, it's management that is needed to ensure fires are manageable enough where property can be protected. A grass and weed fire burns out much faster and is much less intense than one where there are dead trees and logs and a significant amount of larger dead accumulated brush that need much more time to burn to ash, and produce a lot more heat. The grass and native chapparel fires hardly seem to last a few days when they happen in southern california in areas that have recently burned. Whenever you see a long winded fire roasting away, like the one that threatened Mt. Wilson Observatory last year, you will inevitably also read something like "The last time this forest burned was in a fire that was fought 60 years ago."
No, they can't tell; they can ask, though.
Whoa . That's pretty cool, TIL, thank you!
This made it a lot easier for me to start my startup and quit my day job. Both of which were very beneficial to me in the long run. I might not have taken the risk if I were American rather than Canadian with my new baby to take care of.

I put my success down to luck and the social safety net up north.
Tell your 0.1 friends to focus on all those points you made, and quick, because they will be the scapegoat for the mob.

Things are getting bad enough to where "cutting ones nose to spite the face" starts to make sense, redistributing the misery the rich have insulated themselves from.

Just my feeling on the situation.
+1 on the need to set the Supervisor PW in BIOS, otherwise the settings were greyed out. Puzzling indeed, I had to deal with it back some 5 years ago. Definitely found this answer on forums rather than from mfgr suport pages/docs.

However in this case it may be a different "lockdown" issue, though quite an odd choice reasoning-wise.
> though Linux on the desktop sort of is similar to Firefox, getting less relevant by the year.

Well... If you count WSL as Linux in the desktop, then I think it's doing quite well, but yeah.
User-replaceable batteries by law might be a better first step. Heck, maybe even some standard sizes for mobile device batteries (and while we're at it, also EV batteries... some sort of standard 'battery module' used by most/all vehicles would hugely help reuse/repair/recycling/upgrades).
> If it was, anyone walking down the street playing music would be violating copyright.

It would indeed be so, if you were playing it with the express intent of having others listen to it.

Also, never underestimate the eagerness of the entertainment industry to decide that you need license to play something.
65% of Americans have no clue what it takes to run a business of any scale. They can barely calculate a tip at the restaurant, yet they think they are qualified to make decisions on taxation.

The flavor of democracy we practice has been good. However, we must be honest enough to admit it can degenerate into mob rule, which generally means decisions are made by the most gullible and ignorant among us on any specific topic.

Simple example: There is no way my vote on a whole range of medical issues should have the same value as that of a medical professional, such as my wife. While I have a reasonable understanding of biology, the difference in knowledge and understanding in this area of knowledge is massive.

In other words, I am as ignorant about medical matters as she is about engineering. It isn’t an insult to classify me as ignorant in this category. It’s the truth. Why do our votes have the same value?

So, yes, 65% of Americans want to raise business taxes. They are ignorant fools being led by the nose by politicians using this ignorance to gain votes at their expense.

The most important reality to understand us that politicians are never negatively affected by some of the nonsense they push. They don’t lose their jobs, careers or level of pay. On the other hand, the fools who buy their nonsense very often end-up with the short end of the stick.

Raise business taxes? No problem. More businesses will go to China if they are able to. If they can’t, they’ll reduce costs through automation. Some will do both.

In a globalized economy we need lower taxes. Zero would be an even better number. Anyone who thinks otherwise suffers from a serious deficiency in perspective.
Great. Another several hundred pages to the legal code, another several hundred pages of regulations that all but 3 people will have the time to read and understand. No thank you. This country already has too many laws and regulations. We don't need more.

How about leaving the free market alone?
SEEKING FREELANCER | Remote | BlueCode Systems

I lead a software development team made up of NOT very experienced software developers that I want trained on some very specific topics.

- The trainings will be over Google Meet/Zoom and recorded so we can reuse them.

- Lessons will be over a number of hours say 5-10 hours each and delivered over a couple of days.

- Of course we can find similar content online, but we want lessons specific to what work we are doing and using examples from our codebases and using challenges we are facing.

- Lessons will be very interactive and expect questions.

Topics

Superset - setup, configuration and definition of graphs including some lesson on queries.

Git and GitHub - Day to day use, advanced usage and how to unscrew oneself. Suggest other topics.

Debugging - Especially around Java/Android. Tools and methods

Budget
Our total budget is about $5000 and can be broken up across different trainers if needed.

To apply: Send resume and some example/proof of why you are the best fit for the particular training topic. We need deeply experienced people, not someone who will just Google things.

Application email: jobs@bluecodeltd.com with title: "Training"
That's what conservatives always say (but not always do): decrease taxes, make the governments smaller, give money back to people, so people will spend money more efficiently than the government.
As a college-educated engineer, I guarantee that you learned much more than I ever did during my formal training. The only useful things I've learned for my job was learned after college, when I actually had to know stuff to be successful!

With that said, if you really like engineering, you can eventually get the PE with enough years' experience and get that pay increase. It may be worth it to you.
You don't actually need non-flammable roofing - just a roof rated for the fire type.

Check Class A roof tests. A lot of asphalt shingles, properly installed, actually are Class A fire rated - which is a 12x12 2kg grid.

https://www.builddirect.com/learning-center/building-materia...

Interior corners on the roof or house tend to cause problems, though. Debris builds up and ignites, and just impinges on the siding until you light something behind it.

You can also have firebrands entering through attic vents and bypassing the roof - there are vent types that are resistant to this, but tend to cost a good bit more.

Why we don't do this in urban wildland interfaces... no idea.
What would you expect them to do to stop it? Also, what makes it fraudulent?

It may be registered with fraudulent intent, but the business transaction used to register it is likely perfectly legitimate.
> AFAIK they have duty of best execution, so they're supposed get the best price irrespective of PFOF. Obviously this conflicts with their own incentives, but that's what the laws are for.

There is a duty of best execution. I honestly don't even know if its a crime or a licensing requirement or what. Reg NMS seemed to have obviated it, and judging by the failures to execute properly on the parts of major banks (e.g. my family had a major bank execute a bond trade for them that another bond trader friend of mine said was 10% below a competitive market price. That is, they paid 90, when you could have paid 100 in the competitive market), my impression is this law is totally unenforced.

Also, it looks like no one will be able to see my criticisms because YC wants to protect their investment going into the IPO by crushing this comment thread
Most people are just pissed (me included) that in the vast majority of the US it's literally illegal to build housing and neighborhoods that many of us would like to live in.
It seems like a double standard to sue the producers of fossil fuels, but not the users who actually burn them and polute the air with them.

I say sue every person who has ever driven a gas vehicle.

This would only be fair, right?

I get two Lenovo ThinkPads from work, and have two personal HP Spectres, along with one Gateway (2020, not Acer) and ThinkPad (both low end).

I love the 2020 HP Spectre hardware-wise (better than my work ThinkPads), but sometimes forced NVMe RAID gets annoying with FreeBSD when Lenovo and Asus let you disable it. At least it's not Acer with forced Secure Boot. Yes, I'll take a Mac over an Acer, and I work at Microsoft (but not Windows).

One of the work ThinkPads I get has a locked BIOS, the other (that I normally use for work) doesn't. But I won't use a ThinkPad as my main personal laptop unless FreeBSD only works on one and nothing else.

Also Microsoft would not only need to stop signing shims but revoke all existing signatures.
It seems like you have decided that sex is solely defined by gametes. Ignoring for now that this is not the sole criterion of "sex" used in most scientific and colloquial contexts, even on your own terms, it is not true that all humans are one of two "sexes".

At a bare minimum, you would have to make an allowance for the "third sex" (as you define it) of those who do not produce any gametes. Remember, we are talking about sex in humans, not sex in human gametes. I do not dispute that human gametes are strictly binary; the question is about classifying individuals, for which the binary classification is obviously not absolute, even on the question of gamete production.
> I’m just saying it’s not clear to me how it pertains in anyway to the first amendment.

The EFF link itself links to:

https://www.eff.org/document/eff-amicus-brief-martin-v-rolli...

Among many others, which contain a rabbit-trail of case law to explore.

The ACLU article links directly to:

https://www.aclum.org/sites/default/files/field_documents/20...

Which is a court ruling that appears to be directly relevant to the questions you're asking, and contains a similar rabbit trail of other case law (one "Glik v. Cunniffe, 655 F.3d 78 (1st Cir. 2011)", in particular, is repeatedly cited).

This is what one encounters pretty much any time one asks "why is/isn't [thing] constitutional under [amendment]"? Lots of reading.

The short answer is just, "courts have ruled it so".
Well... to a minor degree, it's also a vulnerability. In fact, it would make a good plot for a murder mystery - the murderer triggers conditions where the victim's heart would totally freak out (maybe high emotional stress) so that the victim is absolutely dependent on the pacemaker to keep them alive, and the murderer also has a magnet in the right place to stop the pacemaker. After the victim dies, the murderer walks away with the magnet, leaving no trace of what happened.

But, you know, that's not an easy vulnerability to exploit...

Vetspire | Software Engineer | Remote | Austin, TX | Full-Time | https://vetspire.com

Vetspire is an AI-driven medical records and practice management platform for veterinarians. We’re a startup that builds the technology suite that powers veterinary hospitals, impacting every aspect of patient care from AI assistance in the exam room to managing client communications and clinical analytics.

We're looking for a full stack engineer to join our small and technical team to continue to bring veterinarians’ dreams into fruition. Your day to day work will consist of learning and understanding veterinarians' needs and bringing them into reality from the front-end to the backend. Some examples of what your weeks may look like:

* building remote tools for pet owners to sign consent forms, pay invoices, and fill in information online so they don't have to walk into the clinics during the pandemic

* creating an emergency room clinical census to monitor patients and alert staff in real-time

* designing the interface and algorithms for intelligent immunization reminders.

You'll be working directly with the thousands of veterinarians and staff using Vetspire every day, and talking with them often to better understand their needs and iterate on solutions with them. It's an incredibly fulfilling role to be able to make such a drastic difference in the lives of vets, and ultimately, everyone's pets. It's half-part engineering, half-part problem-solving.

Our backend tech stack is a GraphQL Phoenix/Absinthe application written in Elixir, our frontend is using React with the Apollo GraphQL framework, our primary database is PostgreSQL, and it all runs on Google Cloud via Kubernetes.

Email me if interested at sam@vetspire.com (include "HN" in the subject), or view more information here: https://jobs.lever.co/vetspire/a13274ee-0037-410e-bd38-ee53d...
What you describe sounds like the role of an analyst e.g. like the famous Patrick Moorhead
I have to use simplified language sometimes to get the point across.

I could write all day how I work with electronics, have my own laboratory, what the EMI is and why exactly magnet is not one, but by the time I would get to the point most readers would already either fall asleep or would just look at the huge article and skip to another post.

Yes, pacemakers became more complex devices but at least the older ones work as I described and for the newer ones it is enough approximation. It is not like you can do anything else or anything different if one misbehaves.
> A result of insertion order is that when I print {b:2,a:1} I get "{b:2,a:1}".

This implies that {b:2,a:1} is a different data structure than {a:1,b:2}, which disagrees with my intuitions about how associative arrays ought to work.

If I wanted a data structure that cares about order, I could use [(b,2),(a,1)] and [(a,1),(b,2)]
We bought our son a consumer HP laptop. Its BIOS isn't locked, but has few settings exposed. HP intentionally cripples its consumer laptop BIOS to hide most of the settings. I can't get WoWLAN to work and wonder if the BIOS settings are why but there are no WoL settings exposed in the BIOS.

There used to be a hidden key sequence to reveal an "Advanced" menu. It changed a few times. But on the more recent versions, there is no "Advanced" menu any more, it is removed completely. (They use InsydeH20 BIOS; you can find some reverse engineering tool to decode its menu structure – I heard rumours on forums the hidden menu was completely removed, the tool confirmed it.)

May still be possible to inspect and change some undocumented settings with some more in-depth BIOS hacking. But I'm scared I'm going to brick the computer by doing that. I gave up. I guess next time I buy a computer I'll keep this in mind.
Intuit aggressively lobbies to keep the IRS from doing tax reforms. Who's actually messing with the free market here?
Poll taxes are forbidden by laws (I think civil rights voting act).

Voting isn’t a right called out in the constitution, firearms are.

I was just clarifying that charging a fee definitely limits an activity.

People argued for poll taxes saying it wasn’t a large amount, it wasn’t, but the fees were enacted to limit voting. And specifically discriminate based on race. Not good.

This “insurance” fee is designed to limit gun ownership so likely conflicts with the constitution.
Maybe I'm misreading into your comment to mean that you're making it easier to deploy Elixir at fly.io, and please don't take this the wrong way, but after skimming the docs - I'm not understanding how exactly hosting Elixir/Phoenix at fly.io is any easier.
