> but you can't argue that being a parent requires lots of resources in both time and money

I know enough parents doing fine for their kids without much money and even less time that I’ll have to contradict you. It’s infinitely better to be alive than have stuff or even ample parent time. I can attest to that from personal experience. In the short term it’s certainly convenient to avoid having kids as having kids is hard and requires sacrifices. However, it’s a commonly held myth that for many kids are beyond them due to time and money, presumably as a justification for precluding or severely limiting children. One has the ability to make that decision but one shouldn’t lie about the motivation because for many the choice is made to put themselves first and reject the sacrifices of being parents.
I also do wonder, how grey the area of hate crime is in some countries and might of seen YouTube guilty of that possibly if they had left it up, certainly the comments section would of been a light to the moths.
> Also beware of social network APIs.

Can't repeat this enough. Burned me multiple times.
With JavaScript disabled, the text disappears in pretty animation on load. Good job unhred.com.
> Create a self-signed root cert,

The OP was specifically talking about a small business with no IT. I'd say it applies equally to a home.

I'm sure there's some ways to manage all the non-domain-connected computers, phones, tablets, chromebooks and other stuff in my house (which is going to vary by ecosystem) and "push" a root cert out, but I sure don't want to spend the time to learn all that just to secure a web app I have running.

The magic of Lets Encrypt is you run something on the server you're securing, and a few minutes later you're done -- it works with everything.
You missed the point - 100% of the population is too weak without training. Only correct training produces 'strength'.
>The elected representatives of the English people could shut down the Bank tomorrow, or today.

There is a certain irony in this statement, given that such an act would require approval from the queen.
...and therefore you can't have a conversation about something other than politics?
No no, not for the visual appearance of the text, but rather the filter equivalent of "improving" the content.

Almost like applying a GPT-3 editor to spice up my tweets. I type X tweet and then use GPT-3 or something like that to modify my words/sentences to have more of a Shakespeare or Steve Jobs voice to it.

edit looks as if I found an experiment with GPT-3 to do exactly this: https://twitter.com/intuitmachine/status/1287050253103968257...
...another variation on this would be an emergency water cooling port. Like you have a fixture somewhere on the car that you can connect a hose to and it runs water through coolant channels.

A lot of EV batteries have something like this already, you'd just have the ability to run external water through it instead of just going with a closed loop. You'd also need an outlet, which I guess would spill ethylene glycol all over everything if it wasn't contained, but better that than a burning car.

Sorry for the Amazon link
As someone that works with everyone from SME to fortune 50, internal cert management is a total disaster. Yes, a few companies have it taken care of better than others. But on average most companies have not bought the tools, nor have trained staff to deal with this in an enterprise wide fashion.
Ask HN: What Happened to N-Gate.com
n-gate.com used to publish weekly summaries about HN stories, in an amusing (and very close to reality) way (here's one that I randomly picked from a couple years back http://n-gate.com/hackernews/2019/12/ ). They used to publish them weekly without fail. The past few weeks however there have been no updates. Anyone know what happened? I miss n-gate!
I agree. I wasn't a fan of the extreme skeuomorphism that Scott Forstall introduced (iCal having stitched leather and ripped paper, for example), but overall the GUI was in a much better place then.

I bought a 2009 iMac with Snow Leopard on it and used it for the first time today, and found the process of finding, recognizing and clicking on buttons to be faster than in both Big Sur and even Catalina, despite me using Catalina daily. I don't have any data to substantiate this, but I think there's a good chance that interfaces with contrast, depth and well defined separation between elements are generally better suited to our eyes and brains.
> Once you hang out in those circles (as the article states), you don't want to have cheap gear

Having been hanging out in ski bum circles for quite a few years now, this doesn't seem to be the case to me. Most of them buy their gear used via ski swaps, craigslist, etc. People with blatantly expensive gear like Arcteryx are routinely mocked. We like to joke that if you don't have duct tape on your ski clothing, you're nothing but a poser who must have just flown in from NYC that morning.
Does it have layers like in photoshop? Or does the group functionality let you overlay and then move the group away without ruining the underlying drawing?
It would be very difficult to get a lunch or dinner for $15 that was of any reasonable quality in my region. I do not live in an absurdly high COL area (CNY)

What can you possibly be eating for $5

I think some people can treat eating as more utilitarian, while having a great meal or even a halfway decent meal is a true pleasure and an experience worth having as often as possible for myself. The small pleasure is what makes the grind feel worthwhile.

I fully expect to walk out $25-$30 lighter after a basic entree/lunch, a drink and a tip, even if eating alone on a lunch break. A date with my wife ( on the low end) $70, bring out the whole family ($100)

Do we have significantly different average prices. Maybe a pre-made gas station sandwich or single fast food sandwich could cost $5

A $5 meal sounds like a chore, an amazing roadside Shack find! or absolute trash ingredients not worth eating.

How do you do it?
>But these are just the flashes through the fog, clues to an unpleasant memory I’ve blocked out. Because when I think too hard about the truth, it hurts my head: I have no idea where all my money went.

Just look at your bank account and credit card statements? First step in managing your money, is evaluating how you're spending it.
Good luck finding anyone else bothering to use it. Twitter isn't just some computer software, it's also network effects and the couldn't-have-been-predicted product of a competitive market. How would the government service be known in advance to become a Twitter and not a MySpace?
Tesla marketing literally says 'indoor', on the Design pane:

"The compact, all-in-one construction features versatile mounting options for indoor or outdoor spaces."
Recruiters have a conflict of interest. They get paid by the company that hires the tech. So in theory they should work hard to get you a great salary, if they negotiated it. But, what ends up happening, when there is a conflict of interest, is that most recruiters would try to get the best salary that would get you hired and keep them from losing the opportunity of a commission. Which is not always the best for the tech.

I think that the salaries of some programmers and such have gotten high enough so that something similar to an agent should be available to negotiate salaries. There are some programmers that should be called superstars and they should be paid as such.
What's the difference between this and simply making multiple accounts?
I think the grand reveal is when you slap your own kid the first time :D

I see myself talking to my daughter with the same autoritative tone my dad used on me that I found so "unfair omg". And see her progress from monkey to little girl as a result :D

Parenthood succeed when your kids complain about your failures, as Francoise Dolto (perhaps not a role model herself) liked to write.
Oh, I thought this was known. I'm not even joking... A few years ago, I was at a local comic shop, and I watched someone (a kid) play the machine and appear to get a "perfect" shot, key went exactly into the fucking hole... but then it just pulled back. No prize! I was stunned when the kid asked an employee essentially "WTF?" and the employee replied "there's a chance the key may not turn even though it's lined up." So... it's a game of luck and not a game of skill. All I could think was "doesn't that make it straight up gambling then?" Who would be liable for changing the mode of operation? Regardless, it's fucking sketchy and all around pretty awful to take advantage of people like this... $5 million is a bullshit fine for literally stealing from kids. I still feel bad for that kid, it was like a Nintendo Switch or something fucking cool he, IMHO, had stolen from him...
One is a useful product people use every day, and earns money.

While there look at the art of cheese making, like in this photo:

Lots of "arts" are fading away quick in Romania. Young generation is more interested in TikTok and other social media platforms than haystacks or cheese.

Looking at those pictures brings back happy childhood memories.
How do you work only 8 hours as a team lead?
As a team lead, my 9-5 hours are filled by meetings and debugging issues. Yet on top of this there is still the expectation to move the ball forward on new development. Thus, actual development generally only happens outside of normal working hours. How have you reconciled this in the past? Or is this kind of schedule an inevitability?
The problem with these machines isn't just that they're gambling. It's that they try hard to make you think they're not.
It is possible. But if achieving a reasonable performance was doable, they wouldn't need wsl2.

I believe we retained Martin as a consultant for a time, so next level up from video watching. But: there are all of the above (organized initiatives, informal propagation, top-down edicts). But group video watching would be unusual. Typically these days there's a slack channel where it is encouraged to post things like this.

> Maybe the data retention policy of OP is the real problem.

This... this is a truly universal first-world problem. The average person did not need data retention policies until the past decade or so, and now it feels like I need a retention policy for literally every physical or digital object that enters the premises just to maintain my sanity.
But they could equivalently sell the electricity and buy jet fuel with the profit. Sure, the margins are slightly worse but it doesn't significantly change the equation.
The last time I was in Atlantic City it was quite depressing. I saw some desperate drunk get thrown out after he put his fist through one of the game machine screens.

It's the regulated kind that always seems like a sleazy stealth tax on the poor. I'm okay with people playing poker privately for stakes, it's the casinos that I can't stand.
With this said, wildcards are massive security risks in themselves when devices start getting compromised. You can then chain together things like DNS poisoning and arp attacks to MITM further devices on the network.

And confirming what you said. DNS leaks everywhere, so don't consider its obscurity a form of security.
> Cycling shouldn't be about the gear itself. It should be about, well, getting out there and cycling. But for some people, half the fun is spending money on the toys.

I love getting out there and cycling (just got back from a ride in fact). I also love geeking out about bikes and bike gear, and I’m not sure why you say it “shouldn’t” be half about that. Why shouldn’t it? I appreciate the engineering that goes into them, the latest theories as to how to make bikes better, the design and aesthetics, the component choices and all the tradeoffs involved. Surely on Hacker News of all places, we’re allowed to geek out on such things? If you love cycling but refuse to allow yourself to appreciate how cool bikes are (regardless of age or price, btw), maybe you’re missing out on half the fun!
Hopefully, LetsEncrypt is and will always be incorruptible organization. There was never a case of a community project being taken over by greedy capitalists. Oh wait...
The vast majority of those quotes have nothing to do with critical race theory, and are simply anti-racism. The two are not remotely synonymous, the former being a minor academic framework for studying history.

This confusion was deliberate work of a few conservative thinkers, who wanted an obscure "elitist" academic theory to use as a catch-all term for all anti-racism work.

Deep Neural Network Are Surprisingly Reversible: Baseline for ZeroShot Inversion
But, when was the last time you needed that?

My phone and my laptops both seem to correctly notice (via services for the purpose) when there isn't proper Internet access and give me access to some awful Captive Portal to fix that, for which they do not need neverssl.com. This desktop never leaves my home, which doesn't have any such nonsense.

The services they use to do that do involve plaintext HTTP, but importantly they aren't trying to just be something you type into a web browser, and so aren't affected by automatic upgrades of stuff you type into a web browser.
Think about most hostile places, in the midst of civil war- do they produce the greatest people?

In all times, the great philosophers, engineers, generals, scientists, etc. Were never made up of peoppe that suffered greaters hardship, that starved in the childhood. They were always elites, people with best education or at least middle class.

We've run this experiment, there is zero evidence for it.
Hierarchical Tactile Sensation Integration from Prosthetic Fingertips
Its more like AWS Workspace. RDP is just a client/server software - someone needs to setup VMs somewhere, ensure files are saved to a network share, install applications on them, give you the IP address etc. Workspace and similar solutions abstract a lot of that away.
Whenever someone proposes a simple solution to a social or political problem that nobody can agree on, and says "It's that simple", they're marking themselves as not understanding what they're talking about while arrogantly pretending they do. It's automatically not simple or it wouldn't even be in the news. You certainly aren't the authority on it.
> in a world where the bar is raising exponentially

Something I've thought about as well. If I had kids, I doubt they would make it into the college I go to. The acceptance rate for UVA was 60% for my parents generation, 25% for mine, and probably in the single digits if my hypothetical children were to apply.
I genuinely don't know. I had close friends teach me how to act like a human being.
"Seamless sync" is something I personally want to avoid. I want seams and barriers and hoops to jump through. There are reasons to have different things on different machines, and the reasons I have are pretty trivial as these things go.

I remember 20 years back, hydrogen was going to be it. There were prototype cars manufactured, calls for hydrogen fueling stations to be built, everyone scrambling to get on the hydrogen train. Then it all just fizzled out. It was probably one of the promised techs I most wish had lived up to the hype.

I use the downloads folder to store the interesting pieces. It is fascinating to jump back in time and see what you have came across.
Similarly, I remember when those card readers would beep loudly at you when it was time to remove the card. "EEP EEP EEP!" they'd go, like something went horribly wrong, but when you'd look at the screen it would just tell you the transaction was complete and to remove your card. I think the manufacturers eventually realized what a poor choice of sound effect it was and eventually changed it.

The only reason I use Windows at all is that it's the best way to run the applications I need as close to the metal as possible. If it wasn't for that, I'd be in Linux or some virtualization flavor. If all the applications I use daily were available natively on some other OS I'd switch tomorrow.

Given that, I don't really see the utility in this for me, and it makes my nervous about what I DO depend on Windows for. I feel like MS is gonna try to push us all into this cloud model, which is 100% the opposite of what I need from Windows.

If you wait long enough, anything can be "right". If Malthus dire consequences only happen after 20mil years of human civilization, then it really doesn't matter to us who are still at infancy of human civilization. Malthus math failed to account for technology advancement. Let's not give credit to a flaw math and focus doomation. Be the solutions not the empty talk of doing nothing.
> Strong disagree. Social media platforms are no different from any other media platform. Should a newspaper or tv station be required to host official communications from a government administration? It is absolutely vital to democracy that they should be free to avoid publishing anything that they don't want to publish for any reason whatsoever including reasons we disagree with. Otherwise, every public sphere would devolve into state-controlled media.

My specific proposal doesn’t require compelling social media companies to publish anything. My proposal only turns social media companies into portals into an open platform, so you can leave Twitter or whomever without leaving your network (conversations, connections, etc).

But even if we can’t muster that, then we should regulate them as utilities—that’s really all they are anyway: plumbing for communication (hence the “network” in “social network”). We will still have the same free press that we’ve always had—nothing is lost, but we don’t have the threat of a tiny cabal of companies with outsized influence over our democracies.

But again, that’s a last resort. Before that extreme, we could even do some good ole fashioned antitrust action to bust these social media giants up into smaller actors, or simply enact stronger privacy legislation and let the leeches atrophy on their own.

Linus Tech Tips covered them before that gives a pretty good overview [0]. It's a really cool tech and I hope it becomes more affordable in the future. I'd imagine actually feeling like a person is physically present will make Zoom meetings and such a lot less boring.

Also honest review you mention privacy and security so often that it starts to sound weird.
Yea, don't listen to the people actually doing the thing, only listen to the people whose only interest is extracting as much money out of the operation as possible. Of course, companies also essentially make the laws, so "illegal" is a very shallow line.
Companies themselves are authoritarian organizations that enact international policies for the purpose of extracting wealth from a local population. Countries that have skin in the game for their own geography are the least of your worries, they are optimizing locally. Meddlers without skin in the game are more problematic.
If Starlink won't scale, Kuiper won't scale even moreso. FCC has approved 12,000 satellites for SpaceX, and another 30,000 are going through the approval process. Project Kuiper has only applied for a 3,236 satellite constellation. And SpaceX is way ahead on deployment, and is likely to stay ahead.

Other than Kuiper, Amazon has shown no signs of becoming a serious player in the consumer ISP space. Sidewalk is not a consumer ISP service in its own right, it needs to piggyback on a third-party consumer ISP service. Amazon is nowhere near becoming anything resembling Bell.
Huh you have nice friends. My parents a rich and the only thing they gave me directly was a rent payment on a flat I was leaving when I moved abroad . They paid the $1000 rent for 6 months in case it didnt pan out and needee to crash back.

That was amazingly nice but a house downpayment, I d feel like cheating at life.
:) oops… should had put the disclaimer that it’s a personal opinion.

I just hear some people saying “I don’t like vegetables” and often my question is “how have you had them?”
Not sure I really agree, to me it just seemed as if she's speaking to a wider trend of people mismanaging their finances and speaks to the reasons (culture, literacy, short-term bias etc). It's quite common for journalists to try to touch on societal trends, whilst doing it through the lens of a personal story, it makes the writing relatable to the reader and thereby potentially useful.

But even if she wasn't doing that and was indeed looking to normalize financial illiteracy by saying it's common and she's not the only one, I think that's a pretty healthy perspective. Yes she fucked up, which she acknowledges. But it can be healthy to not seek fault in you as a person or your character, but rather to seek fault in your behaviour, your lack of education on a topic, your views which may have been too biased for the short-term. After all, those things can be changed, it gives the individual agency and a feeling of control. I think the entire article acknowledged that the solution lied with her changing her views, her habits, her financial literacy, her financial management. I found it to the contrary of removal of the subject.

> I fucked up.

Was she not saying exactly those things? For example she says "I saw my folly" or "How was I ever going to afford a kid’s college fund? It wasn’t just that I’d only ever lived for my youth; maybe I’d only ever lived for myself. No wonder I was alone." It's quite clear she felt she fucked up and saw the issue with herself.

> I used to be bad with money. Now I do this: __ __ __.

Again, I felt she touched on this throughout the article, e.g. by saying things like "I’d started reading personal-finance books, analyzing my spending, and making budgets. I also started wearing sunscreen."

Even then, I'm not sure it holds. The US's situation then was the worst by 20th/21st century American standards, but by global or historic standards it was really not that bad.

Germany or Russia had much harder times around then and that produced some of the most horrific leaders the world has ever seen. Hitler and Stalin weren't the result of easy times.
