The thing that scares me the most about it is that twenty years is a long time. I'm not at all confident that I can predict the direction society will take over the next two decades. By extensions, I'm also not at all confident that I can judge, today, what will be considered abhorrent in the future.
Do you feel that this dissonance should change how we readers interpret this argument in some way, or is this meant solely as a typo-fix kind of comment? It’s unusual to see a new HN user offering proofreading comments, so I’m hesitant to accept that interpretation without checking first.
Reminds me of a short story by Liu Cixin, the author of the Three Body Problem. In it, a character discovers that, as a result of 11 dimensional string space, there is a finite number of possible initial configurations to the Big Bang, each one resulting in a deterministic universe with its own distinct combination of fundamental constants (speed of light, Coulomb’s constant, pi, etc.). He explores this quite a bit. It’s pure sci-fi, but fun to read.

It's sadly more complicated than that. If we become reliant on US milk, American attempts to force us to lower our standards will have so much more leverage that they will probably suceed.

So sadly for us to keep this standard we probably have to keep a similar system to the one we have right now.

Doesn't the portion of the dividend paid to themselves represent the amount they intend to spend on public services? I'm not sure it's correct to regard it as meaningless.

Sure, they could reduce government spending, or they could reduce the dividend, and reduce spending more, but in any case, the size of the dividend relative to cash flow or profits still says something about sustainability of the present course.

The KSA, after all, can't issue debt in its own currency, can it?
The implication of pointing out the US' high incarceration rate is that the US justice system and society are particularly malevolent.

This point was used to defend Japan's justice system as being far more benign than the US.

However, Japan's justice system may in fact be far more unforgiving that the US' if Americans are, in general, more likely to commit crime. Which is perfectly fair point to make (although inconclusive for various reasons).

If (for whatever reason) Americans are more likely to commit more crimes, they are, all else being equal, more likely to be in jail.

Of course many things can be true at the same time. Japan can have a brutal justice system and have a very docile, law abiding population. Maybe the brutality caused them to be docile. Or, America can have an abusive justice system, and a population that needs to be more incarcerated than others.

Either way, the criminality of the Japanese is a relevant factor if America's incarceration rate is made relevant
Didn't say who to vote. I know there are a few good Democrats. Do your own research, or don't vote. I have no doubt many in the GOP salivate at the prospect of enjoying the Orwellian tools the Democrats are building.

There's a cartel of media, big tech execs, and Dem members that are pushing all of this, and people keep voting them, every. single. time. Since, at least, the Obama days. So much "collusion" mentioned, and most people around here will look another way when you mention them The Collusion. You get what you pay for.

Interesting, I usually think of code as being easier to parse when it's laid out in 2D like this:

enum { size = 8192 };

int main()
{
char *n = "tmp.mmapcrash";
int f = open(n, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0666);
if (f < 0) err(errno, "open: %s", n);
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) {
if (write(f, "x", 1) < 0) err(errno, "write");
}

....

rather than in 1D like this:

enum { size = 8192 }; int main() { char *n = "tmp.mmapcrash"; int f =
open(n, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, 0666); if (f < 0) err(errno, "open: %s", n);
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++) { if (write(f, "x", 1) < 0)
err(errno, "write"); } ...

Are you saying that your experience it's the other way around?

Pattern-matching makes some code a lot easier to express and understand, but it's true that there are some languages where you end up having to kind of hand-translate it into a nest of conditionals and whatnot. It's kind of mindless work, though, so I don't really feel like I'm missing anything important in the pattern-matching representation of conditionals in paperalgo.

While I don't know them, these guys went to my high school and I thought it was a pretty amazing thing to do even though they didn't succeed in making it all the way across the country.
There are techniques to help process what is happening in situations like this - CBT and/or mindfulness have both helped me in the past.

It is necessary to take risks to succeed - including trusting sometimes unknown parties. It is necessary to not trust more than you can afford to lose. It is also necessary to put trust and faith only in those that have earned it.

It’s a complex set of sometimes contradictory requirements. It is impossible to always have it perfectly under control. Sometimes that means learning painful lessons, sometimes that means getting into a fight to protect yourself as best as possible, sometimes it means writing it off - as the flip side of the good bets that pay off.

To know what is appropriate for you will require integrating the experiences and information you have, and calming evaluating for yourself your own values and your own plan, and what you want to do.

Easier said than done. I wish you luck!

> forgive those loans

And what about the people who have already paid off their federally backed loans via their own hard work? They seem to get the short end of the stick in this case.
The embezzlement charges didn't seem to make much sense when I took a look. Taken literally, sure, maybe he embezzled. But this is a guy who basically set his own salary at whatever number he wanted every year for 20 years. And apparently there was a culture at the top of the company where the executives were able to spend quite freely using company money. If you are able to simply legally pay yourself more if you want to, the only reason you wouldn't is that you are under the impression you can simply use company money for personal use anyway. What's the difference, really? It's almost just an accounting issue; clarification for investors.

I read the articles a long time ago so I may be off by a bit but I recall that when I did the math Carlos Ghosn had a personal net worth of at least ~$115 million _at the time he was accused of embezzling just a few million dollars._ It's like a millionaire stealing $20,000. Certainly possible, but more likely to be some sort of misunderstanding given the circumstances.

I don't expect this to be a popular comment. But the charges never made much sense to me. And normally in cases of corporate embezzlement there isn't such a compelling alternate narrative/conspiracy to explain what happened.
Well, the thing about a circle is that the very core of the definition has the same sort of "information" as whatever abstract "information" f'' = -f contains.

A better compromise might be Income Share Agreements. Yes, Lambda School did do some shady stuff with selling ISAs. But that payment structure does incentivize the school to actually improve the earning prospects of their students. The concept shouldn't be thrown out because Lambda School sold their ISAs while continuing to tell students that the company has a financial stake in their success.

Some complain that this will make universities effectively become vocational schools and cut liberal arts and humanities programs. But I see that as a feature: putting more emphasis on education on the fields with higher labor demands.

Hello, I use this keyboard!

I had to intentionally practice for a couple of weeks before I felt really comfortable typing. When it came to typing symbols I've always been a cheater, so the shift+numrow symbols were the hardest for me to remember.

Replacing the modifier switches with loud and clicky ones helped me get the feedback needed to allow me to type combinations quickly (and ZSA optionally sells a secondary pack of ten with your purchase, just enough for the mods/space/enter/esc).

The arrow keys should be familiar to anyone seriously using vim / vim bindings, as they're in the same hjkl configuration.

The thing made hardest with this keyboard is actually video games. There are fewer buttons in the range of one hand, so I often end up remapping some buttons to my mouse if I have to. The ctrl/z/x/c keys are all pretty hard to press when your hand is on w/a/s/d. For games that fully utilize a keyboard (Space Engineers, GMod, etc) you will find yourself making layers specific to those games.

This all being said, I don't have the largest hands and I enjoy that my wrists basically don't have to move around. The customization is a treat. I actually take it with me to work and back home, because it's so small and easy to move that I don't mind it. Also I made a numpad layer that I'm really happy with, and that only works on an ortholinear.

The price tag is serious, but the keyboard is hand assembled by well paid workers in Taiwan. For the amount of time I spend typing on my keyboard (at least 8 hours a day, every day) I'm perfectly happy to dispense with some money for a solid product.

I find Apple's suggestion to use Siri to control the volume on the AirPods Pro [0] to be worse than some of the ideas on that page. The idea of having a spoken conversation in public in which I must request a volume change via a branded AI (and then repeat that request multiple times if necessary to reach my desired volume) just feels humiliating.

> Well, fair use is an exemption to copyright. If you do something under fair use, it does not matter if you agree to a EULA or not; if your use is under fair use, you can do it. Period.

No. A contract can involve me agreeing not to do something I would otherwise be permitted to do (eg, an NDA is a contract in which I agree that I won't engage in certain forms of constitutionally protected speech). If I agree to a EULA that says I won't do things that would be permitted by fair use, that's probably enforceable.

They don't claim that! They claim that what they're doing is permitted by copyright law, which is a very different thing.

That's an astute observation. I did quite a lot of other stuff, and got in (I found out later) because the prof who came to interview me felt that I was worth taking a chance on. The school also put out a fine course catalog that looked amazing, it's possible that the admissions committee was taken in by that.

Nevertheless, I arrived very naive and woefully under prepared.

>” it was one of the more worthwhile things I've ever done, up there with learning Latin and reading Cicero.”

I think it’s important to remember that a large number of college students aren’t there to partake in the fruits of a liberal arts education. They are enrolled because they know good jobs require a college degree. Or it was expected for middle class students to attend college and not go directly into the workforce.

I don’t want to be a cynic, but college was much more of a life experience for myself and my peers than an enlightening process that taught me how to think critically.
I don't see it as a which provider issue. If you receive email you will receive spam from all over. On the receiving end, I treat providers differently based on what we get. I see a lot of phishing and advertising from SES but we use Amazon so I can't reject it. I almost exclusively see phishing attempts from SendGrid so I outright reject email from SendGrid. So many things and people use gmail that I can't block gmail but I do increase its spam score. I see phishing attempts from gmail accounts almost every day, I report them to Google. Its the phishing that worries me most, seems incredibly easy to sign up for a service like SendGrid and start phishing people. Not one of these email service providers can/will globally block recipients in its network - one is forced to play a game of whack-a-mole, which means the bad guys always win.

In terms of outbound email, I have a very Dilbert answer for you. The marketing guy picked Constant Contact and we use that. I have no idea how good deliverability is with CC vs anyone else. We use an opt-in email list, don't send a lot of communications, and immediately honor opt-outs.
I don't know why the downvotes, this is the correct perspective. You need to take the base rate of criminality into account, and comparing Japanese in Japan to Japanese in America isn't unreasonable.

You could also look at the rate of crimes per capita in each country. For instance, murders per capita: 4.96 in the U.S. vs 0.26 in Japan [0]. If we take this to represent base-rate criminality in that population, then we have a 19:1 US:Japan murder ratio, with only a 16:1 US: Japan incarceration ratio. Japan incarcerates more per unit murder.

Of course this is a toy model, it's all a big feedback loop, etc., but I hope it serves to illustrate the point.

Also, it was interesting to see that pfizer was quick to say a booster was necessary soon. I hadn't thought about that before but it's no surprise that pharmaceutical companies would want to do everything they can to turn this into ARR instead of just a one shot fix. This is something that is going to require real vigilance.
My tipping point was noticing that about 30% of my DNS traffic on my home network was Android devices calling out to tracking and advertising networks. Moving to iOS has dropped that dramatically, more than an order of magnitude.

> I'm sure there's the will to forgive those loans, though

There's pretty clearly not, not even in the dominant wing of the Democratic Party, despite people—mostly in the progressive wing of the Democratic Party—expending a lot of effort to try to build it. It's possible there might be in the future, even perhaps the near future, though having a plan to prevent the problem from recurring and tying it in with the forgiveness makes that a lot more likely.
This is clearly not a keyboard for those who only have to spend $200 on their computer. But I guess most people here have rigs that cost well over $1000.
From that perspective, it is not that expensive considering that it is the thing you are using all day to interact with that computer and a good keyboard can last decades, unlike the rest of your computer.

Is the price justified? It is because it is a small run. If Logitech did it, it could have been much cheaper because of economizes of scale, but Logitech doesn't make it. Is it for yourself? That's your choice, try it if you can, and then check your budget.

Personally, I got my current keyboard, a $200+ Topre RealForce after trying a bunch of keyboard in a specialized shop. I didn't look at the price, and unfortunately, I preferred the most expensive. I didn't buy it outright, because I too thought that $200 is way too much for a keyboard, but I came back later, and bought it. I have been using it for 8 years and I see no reason to change, and not once I have regretted my purchase.

"Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, some but not all of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself. This avoids genuine debate by creating a diversion to some irrelevant but often highly charged issue. The most common form of this fallacy is 'A makes a claim x, B asserts that A holds a property that is unwelcome, and hence B concludes that argument x is wrong'."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
Yeah, a circle is basically a particular exchange between the velocity in the x and velocity in the y direction, offset by a phase equal to half of the period. With different kind of exchanges, you can get squircles and all types of other pseudo-circular shapes.

Typically games will have them so you can balance out music and interface sounds relative to in-game sounds.

In my opinion a volume mixer is a requirement for a decent user experience. To reuse the game example: if I want to listen to a podcast while playing, I'd better be able to hear the podcast clearly while also hearing the important sounds from the game.

This is a silly take, primarily because it's centered on a single benchmark, Lightroom image import.

Image import is generally I/O bound, so not a good fit for CPU comparisons.

The GPU issue is relevant, we'll see how the M2 does there. Will Apple need a discrete GPU to compete?

All that said, the M1 is most impressive in terms of performance/Watt. We'll see how the M2 holds up against Threadripper/Epyc once the Mac Pro refresh is done and it's benchmarked with many CPU/GPU bound pro workloads.

The M2 should be nice for Macbook Pros though. Looking forward to it!
