> The "foundational social concepts" children learn in school are taught to them by full-time teachers

I disagree. Many (most) of the social concepts that children learn in school are not taught by teachers, they're taught through interactions with other students, with the teachers providing guard rails. They're completely orthogonal to the curriculum.

There are certainly plenty of myths repeated in classrooms by teachers, but I don't think the ratio is worse than the number of myths you hear in any other place. In fact, I would bet professional educators probably do a better job of not repeating myths than the general population, since they study formal pedagogical methods. Go read a public comment section on any news story -- you'll find plenty of examples of egregious myths repeated by average "productive adults".
> So the person copying it to you can be targeted by Microsoft, and if you copied Windows without that user's permission, you are probably going to be charged with a violation of the CFAA.

If I'm given permission to use a computer, and I then use that access to duplicate binaries that are not subject to copyright law and which the level of access I have been greanted gives me access to, which provision of the CFAA do you think I'm violating?

> Edit: The Windows agreement specifically says that using the software is an implicit agreement to the EULA, and Adobe's [2] says the same thing. Thus, even if you copy from someone else's computer, you are under the EULA.

That's something you can enforce if use of the software is controlled by law, and you can refuse me permission to use it if I don't agree to the EULA. If the code isn't copyrightable then you have no ability to do that - I'm entitled to use it without agreeing to the EULA, and asserting that I'm implicitly agreeing to it carries as much weight as me asserting that you agree to pay me $1000 by reading this comment.

A bit personal maybe, but my wife has never been on birth control, we don't use protection, and have never had an "oops" baby. We had kids when we wanted kids, and haven't had kids when we didn't want kids.

It's really just... not that hard...

All good, cya soon!
One obvious thing that nobody seems to mention is a store of value that the government can't devalue (that requires a more stable crypto system, I will grant you that), can't tax[0] and can't control. You may have all sorts of objects to that, they point is that there are good solid people out there, with long memories, deep understanding of the financial system and no trust in the governments ability to handle it.

As for stocks, I buy and hold them, but yes I am explicitly looking for a the next sucker who is willing to pay more when I need to liquidate them.

[0]: they will have to tax something else, like a sales tax. I am fine with that, I just don't want them to be able to take what I own.

Upon reading this article I thought I should check the fate of one of my favourite astronomy software (SkyMap). Looks like it had the same fate last year, Chris Marriott (the sole developer) decided to retire. I don't really get though why shut up shop and not open source such one man projects :(
A theory that I ascribe to is that Long Covid is viral induced CFS/ME. As someone with hEDS I've battled CFS/ME for most of my life. I don't want to celebrate too soon but in the last few weeks do I feel like I have now won the battle. I just started using a combination of very powerful but targeted drugs. I feel 110% and no longer get Post Exertion Malease (PEM) which is a major indicator of CFS/ME.

I take Low Dose Naltrexone, Testosterone Cypionate, BPC-157, TB-500, Mod GRF, Ipamorelin, Thyroxine (T4), and Triiodothyronine (T3). I take a ton of vitamins but the effective ones seem to be the megadoses of B1 and B3. I also take NMN for NAD+ deficiency but I'm not sure if that is doing anything. I eat a low carb diet and take cold showers and work out every other day.

Low Dose Naltrexone is great for brain fog and I've been taking it for 5 years.

The Test, hGH peptides, and T3/T4 is probably responsible for the bulk of my improvement. I've only been taking them for a few weeks and it's night and day difference.

I'm not saying this is for everyone but it definitely worked for me so it may help others looking for ideas.
Are they still removing features and not fixing bugs?
If you know ahead of time that you need a massive amount of power, and you have no location constraints, then first you'd buy up all the 'free' power from hydro stations that don't have enough transmission capacity.

Next you'd probably build geothermal power stations at a huge scale in iceland or a similarly volcanic places. That power is still cheaper than solar or natural gas by a decent margin.

Nuclear is a contender only if you can find a place willing to let you skip all the red tape and build rather unsafe 1970's designs...
I feel for you, I completely lost smell and taste and it was extremely scary, you don't know how bad it is until it happens and you can't tell if your teeth are clean, your clothes are clean, your milk has gone off, it's crazy to put fragrance on and put your wrist to your nose and there's nothing. Eating suddenly becomes a miserable chore, I normally cook a lot but just ended up eating ramen and fruit and only when my stomach called for it.

Thankfully mine returned mostly after 2 weeks, some things maybe smell slightly different but I think if I was one of the people to have it for 6 months or not at all I'd be pretty deep in depression by the end of it.

I saw some comments online saying long term sufferers returned after taking Vitamin-D and Zinc. I was already taking D but ordered zinc and started taking it as soon as it happened. Could be quackery, normally wouldn't post something like that on HN but only doing it in case that was the reason mine came back so quickly because I know how much it impacts your quality of life.
> Why would anyone compare electric consumption of a country with digital currency?

Because we don't operate in GW / TW units typically, so some size comparison is needed for mental visualisation. In the same way I'd say "about the size of a basketball" rather than "it's 250 cubic cm".

Not a doctor, but I have/had similar problems, and saw a number of doctors and specialists about this.

Whatever it was, it wasn't understood by medical science, but the best thing we were able to pin it down to was "muscle spasms". Over time, I found that seeing a myofascial specialist, yoga, and physical therapy (read: Apple Fitness Plus) helped.

I meditate regularly, and when I can't sleep, I meditate in bed until I do. It can take an hour, but almost always works; otherwise I can be up for much longer.
It makes sense when you think about the mechanics involved. Standing is constant stress in the same places. Walking is varying stress with alternating relief.

Outcompete in what sense? Certainly more working can lead to more of something, but I’m not sure we all agree on what that something is, and whether or not all of it is valuable (or even whether a significant amount is something to avoid).

> A lot of people talk about Apple as wanting to "own" everything, but the trend in securing consumer OS environments is clearly trending in this direction. Starting with research examples like Qubes, and all the mainstream security efforts in Windows, and ChromeOS.

This is because Google and Microsoft want to own everything, as well. It's not a coincidence that Apple, Google and Microsoft's security implementations enshrine each of them as ultimate gatekeeper and single source of truth for security on their respective operating systems.

It is interesting that you bring up Qubes OS, because its security model doesn't depend on Invisible Things Lab, the Qubes developer[1], deciding what can or can't run on Qubes OS.

In fact, if a security model that depended on a company like Red Hat authorizing what can or can't run on Linux, it would be rightly criticized as Red Hat trying to "own" everything instead of developing a secure system at the OS level. Yet Apple, Google and Microsoft are doing just that.

Do you think the Department of Philosophy is retro as well? Theology has shaped humanity, wouldn't it be weird for a school as prestigious as Harvard to not have a school for it?
Indeed, as a newcomer to Nix I was immediately put off by the arcaness of everything. I don't want my first experience to be memorized obscure paths and funky command line arguments (such may justified _later_ when more advanced options are wanted). I'm glad it works for people and I gather nix-env is a step in the right direction, but it's IMO not quite there yet.

EDIT: example, why is it

nix-env -qaP git

instead of

He means that his colleagues at the Divinity School don't seem to care enough about him to send him a condolence for his mother's death. It's about the apathetic work environment at the school. That would be a problem for me, too, at my company if I chose to disclose that via a public email. Hell, I have several colleagues that wish me well when I have a cold.
I don't know Cornel West, but I often find academia and some who inhabit it ... sort of impenetrable to understand.

My theory:

Many of them are passionate, and it makes them good at their job, but their personalities and their job and the relationships with their peers seem almost inseparable... resulting in the sort of mish mash of professional and personal life that seem inseparable. For some almost everything can be personal to some extent... and in some cases I would find it inappropriate to mix all that up in the way some (not all) of them do at times.

It doesn't make them wrong, but it makes it really hard to understand. Such things happen outside of academia too, but it seems particularly prevalent there in my experience.

At least that's how I explain it to myself when I bump into such things.
First time I saw it I went to sleep almost immediately. I think it's this feeling of security and peacefulness that chicken must have felt to just go asleep outside, vulnerable to predators.

Yikes, the writing in that letter was not up to par for a professor who was seeking tenure at a prestigious university. The tone, word choice, layout, everything felt amateur and overly emotional. I haven't read many resignation letters but I'd have expected more polish and professionalism.
That's more or less what I implemented with a bit of python and sqlite. It works, but it's another piece of infrastructure to care about in a shop full of people who never had to care about that kind of infrastructure. For example we (well, I, really) forgot to configure certbot to restart nginx after renewing a cert, and only noticed that after a marketplace notified us that they're temporarily pulling off our SKUs due to our HTTP service being misconfigured.

Can this be a 3rd party service? It certainly can be, but it's hard to make a generic one for any kind of webhook. Some marketplaces expect a dynamic response, like replying the order number we assigned internally (I typically just echo back the number they gave us with some prefix, but it's still more smarts than just replying with empty 200 OK).

And I've seen services which aggregate popular local marketplaces into API which is easier to work with, but they require to concede some other parts of the business we'd rather keep in-house, like assortment and inventory management.
I doubt hauntings are distributed uniformly or that their manifestations are identical, which for me recalls the quote from A River Runs Through It: "They were Methodists, a denomination my father referred to as Baptists who could read." And of course I have been in many Baptist churches that avow from their pulpits that Catholics are cultists and non-Christian.

Catholicism has always been far more comfortable with the story and the image than its offshoots. So we can get persons like Chesterton who could posit Christianity as distinct in that it is the only religion in which God himself becomes at atheist. And Tolkien could place fiction and fact into oroborosian configurations: "Of course I do not mean that the Gospels tell what is only a fairy-story; but I do mean very strongly that they do tell a fairy-story: the greatest. Man the story-teller would have to be redeemed in a manner consonant with his nature: by a moving story. But since the author of it is the supreme Artist and the Author of Reality, this one was also made to Be, to be true."

Comparatively, between him and Lewis, it might be notable that in their major works only Lewis (the non-Catholic) needed to explicitly bring Christianity to the fore.

Popularity I don't know about. As someone who grew up in a household where Tolkien and Lewis were okay but Dungeons and Dragons was Satanic, I think for many it's more about what they assume the contents to be, rather than their actual properties. It's a spectrum. As one reviewer of a Christian horror series modeled after Goosebumps put it: "I am not sure how I feel about Christian horror books".

Such things tends to occupy that interstitial world of alternative Christian culture that recreates rock music and movies and book series, as if to have no active acknowledgement of God (or perhaps such Christian culture in general) for even the briefest moment is indistinguishable from disbelief. It is the same mindset that compels the production of textbooks that are required to invoke a Bible verse to go along with every math problem and to warn children that doing yoga will allow you to be possessed by demons (my 5th grade health book).

But, as I say, I doubt everything is haunted the same way. There are plenty of Protestants who have no problem playing D&D on a Saturday night. But, too, people aren't often consistent. There are many who would defend violent video games, but would then turn around and deploy exactly those arguments against other types of media, as if they too could somehow 'infect'.
SuccessorML is an ongoing work in progress. It looks to add (among other things) misc syntactic niceties (beginning | in matches, string interpolation, do notation, etc), builtin unicode support, and modular type classes for ad-hoc polymorphism (hopefully somewhat discouraging Haskell's typeclass soup).

We haven't hit the limits of what the language is capable of and a major investment would drastically speed up the process.
I would advise people to get vaccinated, as that's the best protection against all strains of COVID and the best chance for the pandemic to be brought to an end.

I'm not sure why you seem so insistent that I should be fearing the Delta variant, but if you're convinced that you should, then by all means.
or 60 dollars a year.

I find that sort of comparison is typically a form of persuasion to help you buy things you normal would not buy. It is an old marketing trick. Make the initial cost look small and lock you into a larger long term commitment. The real cost is usually better looked at per year. In the case of streaming services they give you a small cost but make you feel like you have lost something in your world 'for only a small coffee'.

Renting usually makes sense if you are going to use something once and then never again. Buying is usually better if you want to use it a few times. There are other benefits to streaming but maybe you could use the money more? That is something you have to decide.

If you can say if someone handed you 60 bucks you would put it all into a year long rental go for it. But most of the time for me I find I would rather own something a bit more tangible.
Resume review. We're hiring a frontend so I parse through them.
The main reasons in his conclusion are: Harvard doesn't support Palestine, he's displeased by the level of sympathy he received at his mother's passing, and general issues with the underlying politics of the curriculum.

It all seems a bit self-centered. Why publicize the letter, other than to signal and cue the outrage mob?

The letter helps make the point of how absurd these heavily-endowed universities have become.
It's the same in a lot of industries and jobs.

You're a doctor and cure a patient; what do you get tomorrow, more patients. You're a automotive worker and assemble 100 cars today; what do you get tomorrow, more cars to build. You're a mechanical engineer and fix a customer's issue with the machinery; what do you get next week, more customer issues.

Jobs where you can regularly fully close a project and never hear about it again are the exception.
I took it as an example of how fake and political their communication has become, and/or how disconnected a "community" they are. Course announcement that's easy to comment on, 20 pointless "that's great!" replies. Something serious and personal, 0 or 2 (there are two cases mentioned, not just his) because it's a channel for obligatory, performative engagement with strangers, not sincere communication with close colleagues.

It's probably intended to land best with people who are familiar with how communication works in that school/department, and the general atmosphere there, I'd expect.

1. Is there any reason at all to believe that billions of people will change their minds and make both of them happen in a century or less?

The New Soviet Man was an experiment only 70 years in the making, and it was in no way a successful one.

2. Let's suppose that actually happens. Let's suppose we get to 50% of current emissions in... 50 years.

We currently increase CO2 concentrations by 2.5 ppm/year. This would put us at over 500 PPM in my expected lifetime... In one of the more optimistic interpretations of your predictions.

For bonus points, even if we hit 50% reduction in 50 years, that would way overachieve what the Paris Accord set out. We are currently not on track to hit any of the targets in the Paris Accord.
Especially for a Divinity School, his point is that it marks a fundamental departure from the spirituality and community that made the school special at some point.
I think part of the problem people are having with the vaccines which have proven to be well-tested and safe is that there is already a non-insignificant portion of the populace that thinks most vaccines are unsafe by nature.

While this is all technically true. Lachlan and Sepp both are former winners of the Tour of Utah in the USA, which is shorter than the tour, but generally at a higher altitude with alpine climbs rivaling the staples of the Alps/Pyrenees in the TdF.

Lachlan was one of handful of pro/ex-pro riders to start tackling the Everesting[1] record as well, which is a clear example of his ability to ride at (and above) the "level of work involved" in a TdF mountain stage.
