Funny to read this because I happen to work in Finance and many requests come through my team. I’m going to add some advice here for what it’s worth.

A manager once told me that Legal and IT will always tell you no before telling you yes. Basically you need to argue and escalate to get things done, and it’s frustrating. After 20 years I’ve found that pretty true, though my current company is a bit better than others I’ve worked for where IT pretty much said no to everything.

Everytime you are going to stop me from writing queries to your server, or add more security that makes it harder to do my job without sufficient support to rightfully get through that security, or deny me the ability to download legit software from the likes of Microsoft and other reputable vendors because you have some ridiculous amount of red tape, I’m absolutely going to question every dollar and be skeptical of how the funding is going to help me or my partners in HR, Sales, Supply Chain etc.

If your projects help me, and you help me, I’m definitely willing to help you more and fight for you and your budget.

Everyone in Saudi Arabia are people we would drone strike if they were not a country (that we set up).

All practices of ISIS are also domestic, enshrined in law, routinely practiced policies in Saudi Arabia.

I don’t want to kill anyone in Saudi Arabia, I don’t find any moral stance for the droning/wars to be convincing, and I can completely acknowledge that the aforementioned terrorist groups that are being funded are perfectly capable of running a country and cease to be called terrorist groups when they accomplish their political goals of an Islamic state.

I have never tried an Ergodox, but my main keyboard right now is a Redox, which is similar in terms of thumb cluster placement. The thumb keys gave me trouble at first, but I replaced the switches with ones that had a much lighter spring (35 cN, I think?) and since then it's been fine.

Binance: Fiat off-ramps keep closing, reports of frozen funds
That's certainly true of undergrad, but good graduate programs teach you to think. A lot of technical businesses are run by people with doctorates. I doubt that's simply a matter of technical knowledge, as specific technology becomes obsolete. It reflects the mental discipline necessary to get through a good program.
If the government is going to be paying for college, it's also going to limit the cost of degrees very harshly, making these kinds of programs barely profitable if at all.

If there still is profit after such a reform. Universities don't make a profit where I live.
Well, that's why these ultra-expensive universities have very generous financial aid packages for their undergraduate programmes (although presumably a large chunk of this aid also comes from the feds). For example, let's look at Columbia's tuition by family income:

$0-30k pays on average $10,245

$30k-48k, $3,409

$48k-75k, $6,864

$75k-110k, $14,421

$110k+, $41,002

https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges/columbia-university-270...

This falls comfortably below a cap of $31k, or even $20k for students with family income below $110k. But these financial aid packages are for their undergraduates; clearly they are not so generous with their graduate students, presumably because there's no cap to how much those students can borrow. Other Ivy League universities are very similar in this respect.

It seems clear from the WSJ these massive debts are just the balance that comes from graduate degrees:

> Undergraduate students for years have faced ballooning loan balances. But now it is graduate students who are accruing the most onerous debt loads. Unlike undergraduate loans, the federal Grad Plus loan program has no fixed limit on how much grad students can borrow—money that can be used for tuition, fees and living expenses.

> It has become the fastest-growing federal student loan program and charged interest rates as high as 7.9% in recent years.

> The no-limit loans make master’s degrees a gold mine for universities, which have expanded graduate-school offerings since Congress created Grad Plus in 2005. Graduate students are for the first time on track to have borrowed as much as undergraduates in the 2020-21 academic year, federal loan data show.

> “There’s always those 2 a.m. panic attacks where you’re thinking, ‘How the hell am I ever going to pay this off?’ ” said 29-year-old Zack Morrison, of New Jersey, who earned a Master of Fine Arts in film from Columbia in 2018 and praised the quality of the program. His graduate school loan balance now stands at nearly $300,000, including accrued interest. He has been earning between $30,000 and $50,000 a year from work as a Hollywood assistant and such side gigs as commercial video production and photography.

> ...

> “As a poor kid and a high-school dropout, there was an attraction to getting an Ivy League master’s degree,” said Mr. Clement, 41. He graduated in 2020 from Columbia, borrowing more than $360,000 in federal loans for the degree. He is casting for an independent film, he said. To pay the bills, he teaches film at a community college and runs an antique shop.

The infographic here is making it clear that the debt for Patrick Clement is just from Columbia; from his website, it appears he went to the University of Kansas for his Bachelors.

In regards to your third paragraph, to me none of that matters. Mass surveillance on the Web is wrong, period. Meanwhile, all parties involved in this drama, except for non-profits like the EFF, are instead debating how people ("users") should be best exploited online for profit, while regulators arrive late to the party and focus on other less consequential matters such as antitrust and miss the forest for the trees.
They would mention it if they saw it occurring. It's not.

You can imagine if they did, the propaganda engine of 2020 would have used the concept to launch lies about how it'll eventually become so mild you really don't need the vaccine. A certain president was stating early on that it would just fade away. It didn't.

All the info floating about was already confusing (and even contradictory) to the general population. There is no need to muddy the water with details that aren't applicable at this time, and may never be.
Is there a Dactyl Manuform build with individual LEDs?
My personal experience was that professors cared about research first, PHD track students second, and career track BS degree students.. somewhere a few more notches down

I know little about film school, but in many research-based departments, there's a very practical motive for this. PhD track students work in your lab, and you are listed as an author on their papers. Basically, they help accomplish the first goal.
Threatening your employer and sending mutinous emails usually doesn't bode well for employment on a private corp, no matter how righteous the cause.
CppSharp: Tools and libraries to glue C/C++ APIs to high-level languages
I think the dichotomy GP is referring to is between non-profit institutions and for-profit institutions. In general, Democrats are more critical of for-profits, and Republicans are more supportive of them.

I work in edtech and have heard arguments on both sides, and of course the extreme positions aren’t very thoughtful. One thing that would be helpful is more data on student outcomes, as suggested above.
This would all be fixed if the government would stop backing student loans.
It mutates at a much lower rate than flu. And despite that, flu shots sill make sense even with animal resevoirs, holdouts, etc.
> The only option there would be to create a new, public-facing server, set it up with a domain name and SSL certificate, expose it to the world, and then give it access to those services - which defeats the point of having those services internal and secure if we just create a non-internal system and give it access to them.

That's not the only solution -- you could also develop a bot that will do those specific things.

In the days of yore I know of at least three companies that were using IRC bots to similar effect long before webhooks ever existed.

Because of that prior experience, this is how I currently manage a similar set of problems, albeit not on Teams in my current role.
> "But once the dust settled...would the US hold the same moral high ground that it has today had it used 20 atomic bombs?"

About 2.5 times as many people in Asia were killed by the Japanese as died in the German Holocaust. Let that sink in.

Anything the US did would have been seen as negligible in comparison.
To top it off Japan extradited US citizens for doing something not considered a crime in Japan! In what world does that happen?

Ghidra:

* Affordable for sane people (aka, free)... This of course pushed Hex-Rays to finally make a cheaper version of IDA, but it's massively hobbled and useless for uncommon architectures.

* Almost as good architecture coverage. Missing a few big ones for automotive RE still - SuperH is still hit and miss, and no real C167. But the user-contributed Tricore is really quite impressive.

* Decompiler works across all architectures.

* Debugger is still sketchy, but has progressed extremely quickly.

* Preferable UI (IMO), and better struct handling.

* Decent plugin interfaces but fewer available plugins.

IDA:

* Still slightly better decompilation and disassembly for x86-64. Doesn't get as "lost" in vtables and big switches.

* Much better C++ construct support.

* More plugins and scripts available off the shelf.

* Still a few architectures which Ghidra doesn't have yet.

* Debugger is more stable and works a bit better.

For most architectures I would not start using IDA today as a hobbyist, but if I had a good IDA workflow or was joining a company where it were the gold standard, I wouldn't feel compelled to move over.
Who is “we” here? Also, you are aware there are 35 million people in Saudi Arabia? You know, innocent women, children, people trying to make a living under an admittedly oft-corrupt system?

Casually dismissing enough people to fill up California as drone strike eligible because you dislike sharia law and customs that aren’t yours speaks to the foulest, most bigoted type of person with whom I am ashamed to share air. You might as well just admit you hate Muslims and assume all of them are terrorists, and I say that as a bloody Jew.

This comment has no place here and is the absolute worst mark on HN imaginable. You can’t really walk back your first two paragraphs with a third “well, actually, I’m making a more nuanced point”. Just vile remarks and absolutely nothing will be done about them, as is typical.

Ortholinear (which is the straight row/columns like the planck) kind of fail to account for the fact that your fingers aren't equally long. They do feel more comfortable than a normal staggered layouts as far as moving from keys between rows, but hitting keys like q or p (on qwerty) are a notable strain. In fact I usually hit the 'p' key with my ring finger since even with keyboards that do try to account for it because unless you have variably sized keys, you're going to be compromising the pinkies on any layout.

> how long are you usiing kinesis advantage 2? It's something I want to try eventually

I've been using the Advantage for less time than most, only a couple years. It's pretty great but the space between key wells is a little narrow for my shoulder width. A fully split option doesn't have this issue, so I'm waiting for the new kinesis board to come out. I have a dactyl manuform that I have to rehandwire, but haven't had the motivation to do so but I think they are probably superior ergonomically.

Still, I think once you've tried a keyboard with the key wells it's very hard to go back to something that is flat, even with tenting.
Bah, you're just relocating your constants to different formulae. What's worse is that you end up introducing fractions in your quest for “simplicity”. For every c = τr, there's an A = ½τr². It gets worse when you get into n-spheres where there are powers of π at play. For a 3-sphere, for example, the hypervolume would become 1/8τ²r⁴ and the surface volume ½τ²r³.

I'm reminded of something my double bass teacher told me, that people have been working with these things for hundreds of years (or thousands in the case of π). If there's a better way, they'd use it (and it's unlikely to come from someone who dismissed special relativity, quantum mechanics and natural selection).

Regarding Google's business model; this problem gets fairly complicated in fact when it comes to the question that "what makes Google search alive?". Yeah, people go Google to search something and this loses its point without the open web ecosystem. Google's Display ads business certainly contributes to only a small fraction of its overall revenue but that's not the point of this business. Instead, its very existential reason is to remove paywalls from the web so Google search can remain useful.
I think it's great that interesting layouts are still being designed, and that the mechanical keyboard community has become open to non-ANSI layouts. Hopefully we will see more of that, and maybe someday the Logitechs of the world will make novel layouts more mainstream.

Until then, an ortholinear + 47 keys is a tough sell. Even for serious keyboard people. Let's consider a 65% board (~68 keys):

1. is almost as portable

2. still functions more or less as a regular keyboard

3. layout matches laptops

4. layout doesn't need to be learned

And finally, as cool as the Plank EZ is, it's clearly targeting "power users", the exact users who have 20+ years typing on ANSI/ISO keyboards. The people who know shortcuts for everything and have Vim muscle memory. The same type of people who tried Dvorak for a month because it was cool but gave up because there was too much mental overhead for doing basic tasks. Layers for standard keys? No media keys? I got stuff to do, man.
LOL. I wonder where that data was physically sitting for a whole minute.
Did you just admit that you fight legal and IT on purpose, just to have a fight?
You are right. I was estimating it’s thickness based on the appearance of the radii and the differences in battery capacity.

That Anker power pack is 16mm/0.63 inches thick.
The iPhone 12 is 7.4mm/0.29 inches thick.

Looking at how Apple design it’s products, I would be surprised if Apple made this thicker than the iPhone and that phone is less than half the thickness of the Anker power pack.

Saying it is slimmer than the Anker seems like a reasonable assumption.
Their petty war for how to exploit people online is pathetic to watch. The more general fight for privacy _is not_ inconsequential. It would indeed be mistaken to think that these corporations are the ones carrying the privacy fight. That is what the likes of Apple are basing their PR on these days; pure marketing trash.

I've been using the ErgoDox EZ for maybe 3-4 years now, and my experience hasn't matched yours in a few regards:

Thumb arthritis: I've started to develop arthritis in my thumbs when grasping, and the EZ doesn't trigger it at all.

Effort to learn: I wouldn't say "serious dedication", but it did take an effort. I had a few bad habits, namely pressing 'b' with the wrong hand (can't do that on a split), and having to look when typing the numbers. It took me a couple days of feeling like I couldn't type, and maybe two weeks before I felt like I was 100% comfortable with it.

I do agree that the thumb clusters, other than the two primary keys, are basically useless. I have some VERY infrequently used keys mapped to them (pg up/down, alt). It also does take a lot of space to use and to carry.

I use a customized keyboard layout particular to my workflow with i3 and vim. I'm SUPER happy with it.

I've been very tempted to try the Moonlander, but I also really don't want to go back to labeled keys. My current keys are blank. If they had a blank set of caps, I'd have ordered it.
> What does Google provide. We know they are fingerpringing on a mass scale.

Why do you say that? I'm not aware of any situations where Google targets ads based on fingerprinting, and if they did I probably would have come across it. And in March, Google Ads committed that "once third-party cookies are phased out, we will not build alternate identifiers to track individuals as they browse across the web, nor will we use them in our products" -- https://blog.google/products/ads-commerce/a-more-privacy-fir...

(Speaking only for myself)
> Biden’s administration has embraced Saudi Arabia just as much. In fact, if you actually look at history, you will see that the US has embraced Saudi Arabia for many decades (since at least the 80s). This is by BOTH parties.

Absolutely. It's required that any US administration be at the table with the gulf oil states - that's just realpolitik. Better to be there than not.

However the Republican party has been far more closely wedded to petroleum interests, especially those that provide oil infrastructure services to the Gulf states, in both policy and rhetoric. Don't you remember "drill baby drill", which while marketed as being about energy independence was anything but, because the price of oil is a global commodity, not something that the US has the capacity to change.

Democrats were at one time too, but then they lost most of their political power in petroleum industry focused parts of the US. Perhaps Rep. Charlie Wilson of Texas was among the last of such Democrats.

Most Democrats have now cast their lot with post petroleum aligned policies, technologies, and industries - look no further than the politically clearly aligned battle around fuel economy standards or the Keystone XL pipeline.
Do they completely eliminate influenza the way that it's being claimed the Covid vaccines would, if only uptake were high enough?
These aren’t good scrollbars, but it’s clear that they were trying to solve certain problems.

And considering Waves were designed to potentially be extremely long, I can understand what they were trying to achieve.

I am ok with design that fails while trying to solve real problems, as opposed to what we have today, where designs fail because they’re trying to either look better or match the current UI fad.

Agreed that they are limited, hopefully the grant they got for enforcement actions will improve that. They don't avoid litigation where necessary, for example their action against Linksys over the WRT54G router resulted in the creation of the OpenWRT project.

Personally I think the principles they operate under (including extending GPLv3 termination to GPLv2) are fairly reasonable, I don't think unintentional/short-term violations should be punished harshly.

The other silly thing is that it's presenting the M1 as a big change that they could do again, while it's the result of a series of incremental improvment on the iPhone, and a big change with vertical integration on the laptop that they can't "do again".
