Look at what happened with cannabis legalization. Not so long ago it was demonized and considered to be a gateway drug (still is in some places, but a lot of people -- especially younger people and sick people who cannabis has helped -- have seen through that propaganda by now).

Then there's the business side of the equation. A lot of formerly anti-drug idealogues jumped on the cannabis money train once it started to get legal in some states. Many of the politicians who are against legalization are also very self-serving opportunists, who may well switch sides once they see there's a profit to be made.

Veterans and other people with PTSD and other mental conditions might be able to sway some of these people as well. Once they see that these substances actually have great healing potential and aren't the demon drugs they've been lied to about by the War on Drugs fanatics they might have a change of heart.
> and that said creator has certain specific requirements

Is that a requirement of every flavor of creationism? Actually, maybe I shouldn't use 'creationism' in this context because that's a loaded term with a lot of baggage at this point. What else to call a hypothesis that asserts there's some kind of intelligence behind the universe that we see? Simulationists would seem to fall into that broader category as would old-school creationists.

I have a pet hypothesis that it can make anxiety worse if you're not careful due to Hypervigilance (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervigilance) - anxious people tend to have issues with ruminating and paying too much introspective attention to their bodies already. Most meditation rhetoric appears to be targeted to people who never introspect. Getting control over ruminating thoughts is helpful, but I've found mindfulness to be a mixed bag personally.

What I do is combine all of my current salary & benefits (including counting my PTO as additional "base" salary) and then round that up to the nearest $2.5k.

I have that number ready so that if I mention my previous salary I have a number that amounts to the value of my current or previous job to me to set the base for the upcoming one.

Example: If your salary is $25/hr with 2 weeks PTO and other Perks valued at 5% annual salary (401k matching, health insurance, work perks like food or discounts, etc.) That is $52k + $2k + ~$3k = ~$57k rounded up to $57.5k is the "Previous" annual salary I would represent.

That poses you as someone who would "jump ship" for $60k + similar benefits when in reality it would be a 15% pay raise to have the same benefits + an additional $8k a year.

It's a win all around. The recruiter thinks they're getting a deal, you know you're getting a deal, and everyone is happy and no one is the wiser.
> Processing speed doesn't matter to us, it could take a million "years" to render a frame but we experience it in real-time.

Kinda, but not really. Remember that a shortage is an excess of demand at a given price. Meaning implicitly that, at the margin, prices could go up some small amount and there will still be a queue/line/excess of people willing to pay that marginally higher price.

So as a restaurant, very roughly speaking, you basically can raise prices until the line starts to go away. Unfortunately customers can be very stubborn and would rather wait in a 1hr line somewhere else, or not go out at all, for quite a while before eventually coming around to the new normal and accepting your new, higher price.

And you will still probably end up with fewer restaurants along the way, as those least-profitable and with the shortest lines outside, go away.
I agree with you, 100%.

> the values for distinct objects are more or less distinct

I think these words of author understate the requirement of good distribution of hash codes. As far as I understand, ideally the hash codes for different objects should be as distinct as practically possible, so that they are often put into separate buckets of a hash table.

Consecutively allocated objects will have almost all bits of their addresses equal.

Given the algorithm used, I don't really understand what bloat you are referring to. Compared to assembly? I guess maybe. But this is a managed language with near-cpp performance. Small price to pay.

You're correct, McDonald's (and plenty of other large employers) probably never thought or cared whether or not their minimum wage jobs were for teenagers or parents with families.

To me, this reads as an admission that software complexity leads to lower determinacy and lower systemic coherence. That bottom up design is dead, at least with regards to the industry they are preparing people for.

Investopedia’s definition treats the condition where price has not yet aligned to a new equilibrium as equivalent to one where there is a constraint preventing price adjusting to equilibrium. Leaving aside the fairly arbitrary question of whether it is correct to call both conditions “shortages”, it is important to note that they are fundamentally different situations, especially from the perspective of “is a policy change needed to address it and what policy change would that be.”
Generally, analogies to software engineering are not helpful.

Great point. If more people did what the Cart Narc does the world might be a better place.
Not stupid question at all. Nothing is 100% correct. Instead, you look at the attack surface, which for Qubes is extremely small: no network in AdminVM, only 100k lines of code in Xen supervisor, hardware virtualization with extremely low number of discovered escapes and so on.
This shouldn’t be flagged IMO. I read through the proposal and it’s unbelievably disconnected from reality
I don’t think so. Hilton Head Island, SC is a great example of the trend that COVID accelerated.

Hilton Head is a popular vacation destination, but as development started radiating inland towards I95, all of the workers are priced out. The housekeeper at the hotel I stayed at in 2019 commuted 2.5 hours daily, and restaurants started reducing hours due to labor shortages. COVID made it worse, but the problem existed because you can’t work in most places without covering the cost of operating a car.

My understanding this year is that popular restaurants require reservations 60+ days in advance.

There may be some demand shifts at the low end from sit down to fast casual, but those are the places where tipped workers are paid the least. A waiter at a good steakhouse is making a good living, an IHOP waiter makes $10/hr or less.

At the low end, I think those workers have shifted to curbside retail. I’d guess the average Target has 12-30 more staff to handle curbside orders alone.
It could also be that we simply don’t understand something about light phase, and that’s causing us to get confused about superpositions. After all, the experiments aren’t on single photons, they are on beams of photons.
NSO == arms dealers, by their own admission. They did not create the market for digital arms, but successfully cater to it. No HN comment will change their business model. They benefit from the easy distribution of software twice. Once as an exploit developer, because all target systems look alike (recall hardware and software vendors also want to write hardware and software once and then distribute widely) and therefore an exploit must only be developed once to apply broadly. Then, a second time as a software developer, because they can sell their same software to multiple clients. Having worked on Pegasuses, the thing that is dreaded the most and is very costly is a rewrite. Those get financially prohibitive. If the world was serious about stopping the NSOs of the world, it would work toward efficiently (read: inexpensively) making different individual systems wildly different yet remaining interoperable (because the interoperability is where the network effect comes in, providing value in communication systems and leading to their wider adoption). The conflict to solve is how to make systems interoperable and non-interoperable at the same time. While it is easy to imagine randomized instruction sets, Morpheus-like-blindly-randomize-everything chips and bytecode VMs that use binary translation to modify the phenotype at each individual system, it is not so easy to envision how systems could be written once to interoperate yet prevent BORE-type attacks whereby the one time exploit development cost can be easily offset by repeat exploitation. The only way forward is to find that lever which gives defenders a cheap button to push that forces an expensive Pegasus rewrite.
What about a screenshot?
The attack surface is the parser. The ability to access it is arbitrary. I can't build a threat model beyond that for any specific case, but in the case of a text messaging app I absolutely expect "attacker can text you" to be in your threat model.
I have several good friends that work in this business in Seattle, where several restauranteurs tried the "no tipping" model. Anecdotally, in a popular quintessentially Seattle restaurant, a good front-of-house person may net around $40/hr after tips, some more and some less. I don't have a lot of sample data for the "no tipping" restaurants, but my general impression is that it was on the order of a 10% reduction in pay.

One reason several of them have mentioned is that many customers are happy to regularly tip much more than 20%, and this is often correlated with the highest spending customers. Making it a non-discretionary 20% puts an artificially low cap on how much they earn from the customers that pay the most. At one time some customers would leave extra cash on the table after paying the "no tipping" bill, but no one carries cash anymore.

Places that net $40/hr have enormous difficulty hiring right now. These are not poorly paying jobs but the broader lifestyle is pretty terrible even at good restaurants, made even more terrible because of the employee shortage.

One overlooked issue is that many restaurant workers in the big cities are originally from "flyover country". When the restaurants closed during COVID, a large number went back home. I was talking to a waitress in the middle-of-nowhere Iowa a few months ago and she had just moved back after several years working in New York City restaurants.

> by default they grant access to your whole filesystem

Do they? Do FTP servers usually just open up everything to any host? That's not the way I've used them. Don't they usually default to sharing one directory and nothing else?

> Also, by default, most FTP servers support writing to files

That's kinda what file system permissions are there for, and it is usually pretty configurable in the server, right?

> This HTTP server I wrote

Love it, but I have no experience writing assembly, and almost no experience writing C, so I cannot say anything more (I just don't have the experience or knowledge). I still have to ask though, is this relevant to something that asks if FTP is needed over HTTP on the protocol level?

> But none of that is relevant to whether we should break functionality that has been core to the WWW project for 31 years.

I think the question here is if it needs to be in the browser though? There are plenty of protocols in wide use on WWW that are not browser supported and considering that none of the "secure" variants of FTP are supported in browsers it does not seem out of the question to remove this.

If this was a priority then I'm guessing that over the last decade or so getting ftps or sftp working in the browser would have been worked on.
hey, since you might be familiar with this: so quantum field theory is actually a departure from QM instead of its continuity ? I'm confused, i thought QM was the best thing we had regarding quantum behaviors...

Also, i sometimes saw theoretical physicists talk about "quantum gravity" as if it was a solid theory (i tried to look at some presentation on the topic, but it was way beyond my level)... That made me even more confused, because i was under the impression that chord theory was the only thing we had to unify quantum mechanic and general relativity, and that it was far from accomplished...

Could you (or anyone reading this) help me out of my confusion ?

1. I agree bridges have special challenges, but ... well for 2,000 years there was a keystone, and an arch. Yes the soil and the land were challenging, but I find it hard to argue that every stone bridge was a special snowflake. Snap a supporting cable on any suspension bridge and they all have the same failure mode. I think we are stretching analogies - is "build a CRM for the sales department" simple as in "there is a keystone data design common across all CRMS - and all the rest is "shifting sands of the river are same as shifting alliances in the boardroom"

I just try to keep this simple. Coding uses symbolic representation to describe a model - this is what language is. Compilers do / can do things that simply don't exist conceptually in Engineering.

Coder manipulate symbols. It really is a language thing.

2. yes. I was just using bridges as an example of engineering. As CRUD websites are an example of software engineering.
Whole classes of bugs -- the most common class of security-related bugs in C-family languages -- just go away in safe Rust with few to no drawbacks. What's irrational about the exuberance here? Rust is a massive improvement over the status quo we can't afford not to take advantage of.

Whilst that might be true for Americans, as a European I find your culture of tipping(as part of a waiter's salary) a negative for everyone but the faceless business. I still tip waiters who do a great job, but don't have to be guilted into thinking they will go hungry if I don't.
