> with the exception of the one bastard stepchild win10 that I will keep in the closet for when BF2042 is released

For what it's worth, all recent Battlefield games run flawlessly through Proton, including multiplayer with anti-cheat, D3D12, and soon (if not already), ray tracing. This includes at least BF:BC2, BF3, BF4, BF1, and BFV. There's no reason to think BF2042 will be any different.
Typically historical books and lessons begin earlier than Greece. Greek is suggested over Egyptian for language learning due to the number of worthwhile works it accesses and its interplay with the next leg of language learning and research. Perhaps more immediately move on to Rome than should but that doesn’t condemn the starting point.
Too late... Switched to FairEmail some time after learning about broken push in K9.
Maybe in Manhattan, but Brooklyn is booming – apartments are being snatched up in days and rents seem to be trending towards all time highs right now. "New York" is bigger than just Midtown Manhattan.

I don't think we need the FUD; Manhattan (especially midtown) will be on a bit of a downswing as some companies get rid of their office space and people switch to semi-remote work, but it will survive and thrive just fine.
> I f the bank has a loan on the books that’s being paid-as-agreed and is in compliance with the agreed ratios, it's not at all clear to me that there's been an underwriting mistake and consequently I don't think that giving them the power to foreclose is in the public or borrower’s interests.

This view is implicitly premised on the notion that banks exist purely to make a profit. I take the view that banking licenses are issued by the government representing the public and that licensees should act in a way that benefits the community in which they are licensed to operate. Using a dishonest valuation scheme that blights urban commercial districts violates that public purpose. I have no strong opinion on how the lender and borrower ought to work out the costs of accepting reality, and I acknowledge that it probably needs to be handled with finer granularity than some blanket policy.
I don’t see that people will follow that line of thinking. i’ve never heard these terms until recently, and my instinct was to assume that they’re new phenomena (clearly naive, but that’s just the immediate gut reaction). and given that weather shouldn’t really have new concepts at this point, i just automatically linked them to climate change.
That's when Android started to kill background apps very aggressively, more or less requiring the use of Google's own Firebase service if you wanted to get realtime push notifications.

It was a monumentally stupid "feature". Even Samsung's default email app on my Samsung flagship phone only detects new emails every 20 minutes or so, which suggests that top-tier OEMs also have trouble getting past the ruthless background app killer.

I'm glad that at least a couple of FOSS apps have found a way around this problem. I'm curious how FairEmail (and now K9, too) pulled it off. Is there an official "do not kill" flag now, or are they just using some sort of loophole that allows IMAP IDLE connections to be kept alive in the background?
A lot of public policy work is figuring out how to achieve a certain goal without directly mandating a particular action.

For example, what if water wasn't billed at a flat rate? Each building could have an allotment based on size and expected occupancy. One rate within that amount, and a higher rate for each unit over it. Calculate the level such that essential water usage is affordable and watering a large lawn becomes a luxury.

I doubt that exact plan is workable without further elaboration; the law of unintended consequences is powerful. But the point is that "we should have more sustainable landscaping" doesn't necessarily equate directly to "ban all grass".
I had the first oculus, and it didn't have any base stations. It didn't track anything at all, in fact... it only detected rotational motion of your head, it didn't detect any other motion at all. There also were not any controllers.
If Starship works, it's going to be almost a state-change moment in the space industry. They aren't just building a single test vehicle for a demo mission, they're building factories churning out engines, rockets, GSE, building launch pads, etc. They might take a few tries to nail a first orbital launch, once that happens (and assuming no undue regulatory hurdles) their launch cadence may start picking up dramatically within 3-6 months of a success.

If eighteen months from now Starship has launched a ~dozen or more times and SLS once, I'd imagine they might wrap up SLS with Artemis 2, which should be mostly complete by then. At a total program cost of ~$24 billion for 2 flights it would be quite ... something, but it's hard to see them continuing much beyond that. They'd just figure out a way to use Crew Dragon/Starliner to get to Starship for lunar missions (assuming they're not going to want to launch/land humans on Earth on Starship for a while).
The fact IPFS effectively allows anyone to 'ban' a content hash makes it effectively useless.
Not supporting old OSes is fine. The blame is squarely on the phone manufacturer for not allowing upgrades to OSes that receive security patches.
There is nothing that says the free market doesn’t work for scarce and limited resources.

You don’t have to be able to “set up a land factory” for the free market to work.
If you cannot install git or py3 then installing bash will be just as hard, no?
That's absolutely disgusting. But in a Web Assembly sort of way... I don't know whether to spit on it or give it a medal.
Software was originally free. It was necessary to use the machines so it was supplied by their makers. (I worked at IBM when this began to change.) It was also all open source before that went away in favor of closed and proprietary licenses, which customers pushed back on greatly.

While some companies do make money selling software, they're fewer and further between than ever. Most of the money in the software business is in hosting, service, support, or advertising. The biggest players in our industry make more money from that stuff than from selling licenses. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Netflix, and Amazon are all software-based businesses but software licenses aren't their source of revenue.

The vast majority of software is worth nothing. Statistically, most computer programs will only be used by one person -- the person who wrote them. There are millions of GitHub repos full of software with absolutely zero monetary value, as evidenced by the fact that no one pays for it. A tiny, tiny fraction of software programs reach "escape velocity" and become important enough to pay for, and to pay people to work on. This is definitely the exception and not the norm.

None of this is a condemnation of software or other copyrighted works. I'm a published author and artist as well as a software developer and I definitely get it. As for our desktop software, we charge for the fact that we packaged it into the desktop version. That's human work and it was quite difficult. If you don't need that, you can get (and setup) an almost identical product for free.
What is supposed to be meant by "reverse correlation"? Correlation is a symmetric phenomenon, and the final part of the quote makes it clear that the correlation between these two behaviors is positive, not negative:

> more time spent in the classroom appears to be associated with increased rates of attempted or completed suicide.
Let me guess, you dislike twitter because of the hyperbole and lack of nuance ... which you just used
Those homes aren’t in cities where space is a concern. They’re in sprawling suburbs where land is highly available. The construction costs of those 2000 square foot homes is cheaper than 1000 square foot on the 25th floor of a building.

People in the US have a choice between the two, and they’re largely chosen to put up with a commute from the suburbs in exchange for more space. Those lot sizes aren’t just wasted space. Lower density also translates to more green space, lower noise, fewer shared spaces, etc.
Mixed use is still not a bad idea at all IMO, the problem is that there is just too much dedicated land zoned commercial already, and most mixed use development has too high a commercial:residential ratio for it to make the problem less-bad.

The solution could be to convert the zoning for large big box stores that go out of business to residential.
guess the point was that bash is way more common than python?
There seems to be around 277 millions dollars in addresses attached to Ethereum Name service[1]. So apparently the data says some people, somewhere, do care.

[1] http://datapeek.org/?explorer_view=quest&quest_id=quest_2021...
Last I heard, they had around 10M users. Since they employ the, what I would consider, dark pattern of heavily encouraging folks to upload their contact list, that comes out to an average of 380 people per person. Given the Clubhouse user base demographics, I find this at least plausible.
Just blogged about it (https://b.jlel.se/s/49e) after musing about the Holo design in 2018 (https://b.jlel.se/s/9a).

Great work! Just set up a Liberapay donation.
To me the purpose of models is to help humans manage code. Our brains don't hold much at once, so the more we can forget about in a given circumstance, the easier it is. So I think btilly is correct: the reason I want modules, ignoring things I don't care about, is the same reason I want them to deal reasonably with circular references.
It's definitely the last point which is the main problem. We can start the server side and tell it to pick a port, but then we have to somehow communicate that port to the test / client, and often that channel of communication doesn't really exist (or it's a hack like having the server print the port number on stdout - which is what qemu does). Unix domain sockets by contrast are an infinite private space that can be prepared in advance.
Women can be bullying and status-seeking at any age, but it's at its worst in high school. By early 20s many have developed some maturity and the beginnings of a sense of perspective on social things, maybe because they've seen enough of themselves, their friends and peers suffering.
> In a setting where the supply of new housing is already limited by other factors – whether land-use policy or the capacity of existing infrastructure or sheer physical limits on construction – rent regulation will have little or no additional effect on housing supply.

I find this sentence to be crucial. So 3/4 of the way into his speech it seems like he mentions perhaps the most important assumption he is making: he is assuming a situation where the supply and demand of housing is already largely fixed regardless of whether there is or there is no rent control.

That's a bit funny, if that the case then it's almost by definition, the rent control is not going to have much effect in this case...

Even if he is right about what he is pitching for under these assumptions, the discussion seems incomplete unless he also treats the situation where the supply of housing is flexible enough.

What happens then? Does rent control has effect on supply in this case?

Maybe the problem is actually too much regulation to begin with. Which then leads to very reduced flexibility in the market response. So he is not arguing about policies to reach global optimum, just policies to adjust for a local optimum under heavily regulated market assumption.
I call this “Pandemic theater”
There's probably a good case for some simple regulation around the availability and pricing of replacement batteries.
I have a theory I'd propose:

The biggest cause of teen suicide is essentially feeling rejected in some way by your peers: being bullied, a breakup, "mean girl" switches from former friends, etc. When schools closed, the immediate pressure of any of these negative social interactions went to the background (or at least simmered on social media). When schools reopened, kids tried to figure out where they fit back in the "totem pole" of adolescent social hierarchy, and the rise in suicides is a result of kids not figuring out where they fit in when they went back.
> I think if I had kids I wouldn’t let them on such sites until 16/17 or never. Granted, I have a strong opinion against social media before this data.

I can't imagine how impossible it would be to shield them from all these toxic technologies like smartphones and social media while still being in the continental USA. Even if you managed it, they'd be in constant exposure on the periphery, and incessantly reminded of their otherness vs. the masses. It just doesn't seem healthy to me.

If I had kids today, I'd buy an undeveloped island somewhere like coastal Panama and raise an army of them off-grid while homesteading on it.

But I've opted to just go childless instead. Humans are like a wildfire raging across the planet, it doesn't need me to throw more fuel on it...
You’re right - 18 years is a lot for a car. But we’re not so far - The average age is 12 for the USA, but the average lifespan is around 13-17 depending on the source. So we might be closer than you pointed out ;)
One annoying thing in JS is that you have to turn recursive functions into for-loops (you could argue this is a good thing as for loops might be easier to understand then recursive functions). I thought the JavaScript callstack limit/error would go away in ES6 tail call optimization... But no JS engine seem to have implemented it!?
> How would you handle it if they begged, pleaded, and explained how all their friends use it and it'd be social ostracism to not use it?

Having been on both sides of this, as a teenager and having saw my siblings go through it, I don't envy you either.

But I can talk about my personal experiences. I was very introverted as a kid, and tools like Facebook gave me a bit of social autonomy and confidence, and it absolutely strengthened my in-person relationships. I know others that feel the same.

Not being contactable via the internet definitely can cause social ostracism, but a reasonable middle ground for me is something like Discord or WhatsApp, which is semi private and avoids the toxicity of The Feed.
Best not to try to control them before that age either. Best to try to develop a relationship where you can express your concerns in a straightforward manner and hear their concerns and get their buy-in on some solution that safeguards them from your concerns but let’s them have some semblance of what they want.
> > What does this exploit let you do that you couldn't already do with a local administrator account

>There are some things that users in Administrators group still can't do. Hence the need for TrustedInstaller perms.

By "this exploit" I was referring to the exploit mentioned in the article, not whatever gp did to get trustedinstaller permissions. As far as I know I don't see why you'd need access to the SAM file to give yourself trustedinstaller permissions. You can do that yourself if you're administrator.

Also, from a security point of view there isn't much that administrators can't do. You're right that they can't directly delete certain files, but they can take ownership of any file they want and adjust the ACLs to give them the required permissions. I don't think is some sort of EoP/exploit/hack, but rather protection against accidental deletions (eg. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23054506)
The Dial-Up Volunteer Army
Indeed. The best thing you can do is to teach them how to think for themselves, how to think freely, what is really important in life etc.
Takes a lot of time and effort but it gives them the best defense against peer pressure and ‘social media’
This data isn't that convincing, a lot of factors go into this messy correlation between ED visits for girl suicide attempts and covid closure of schools. The title of the link doesn't mention ED visits for attempts, which is the actual outcome of interest here, so IMO the link title is too strongly worded from an epidemiologists viewpoint.

Now conjecturing as to correlation confounders. Maybe the girls need more time at home with pets, family, hobbies, more time in their yard, less time exposed to commuting and classes they don't want to take or people they don't want to see. School is such a diverse set of stressors and the data here isn't clear to begin with...

A more verified takeaway is that girls attempted suicide around 2X more often than boys. This we know has something to do with technology and social media, whereas the schools opening is still potentially spuriously linked.
Several answers buried on HN past threads. A couple searches you can make at the foot of this page:

> ask hn books impact
> ask hn books made you
> show hn books
> ask hn favorite books
> top hn books

The last one especially since someone already thought of attempting to compile lists.

The only problem is your question is too broad. Fiction, nonfiction, technical books? What are you trying to accomplish?
As a challenge, I try to takedown these things by reporting them to Google Safebrowsing, their SSL provider (if they have one), their host, their URL shortener, etc.

Though in Canada, I'm seeing them apply some cloaking measures so they don't get removed as quickly.

I think there's two streams of this:

1. a crooked telecom that has low-level access

2. buy a bunch of SIM cards and dump them into one of these aliexpress machines that has 16 wireless modems in them that let you do whatever you want:

Can even network them to a bank thingy that'll hold 128 cards:

We should remember that one of the problems with retail right now is wages that are too low, so low that many restaurants can't hire enough workers. These businesses are often paying for prime retail and then paying again for customer acquisition from food delivery or other online services.

If property owners manage to capture such a large portion of revenue increases (or even to increase prices in a declining retail market), it is a zero-sum game with many other important parts. Apart from cute mom and pop stores being replaced by national chains, the other costs are the lack of capital for investment in new concepts, lack of funds to pay employees through fair wages, and also lack of resilience in a downturn.

> I doubt we would ever have come up with the idea of a gravitational field or a wave function.

But that is the opposite of the case here. We came up with those ideas after we had an understanding of the system. With consciousness, people casually use the term all the time and think they have a vague idea of what it is, but we have little understanding of the system. It may be that it simply does not exist for example.
Common parlance. The assumed situation is that isolation would increase mental health problems and suicide risk. Instead it went in the other direction. To distinguish this from positive correlation for nontechnical readers, “reverse correlation” makes sense.
In the UK, once someone's asked you for ID for an age-restricted item, they're not allowed (by law) to back down. You show ID, or you leave without the item.

In general, I think it's unfair to ask a probably-underpaid cashier to break policy in this way -- they almost certainly have no control over the policy, and quite possibly face severe consequences if they acquiesce.
Same. Occasionally I will get into some sort of mess, learn how it works under the hood enough to get myself out, and the promptly forget everything.

And I think that's for the best. I'd much rather have a happy path that I stay on than use some sort of dark magic that nobody who comes after me will understand.

PoS is important for adoption. regarding investing you can join a pool you don't have to have your own dedicated miner - pooling is even encouraged to secure the protocol.
"Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things" remains my favorite quote from this incident.
The way they handle cookies is very questionable to put it mildly. Their popup asks if I want to accept cookies but then there is literally no other button than the one saying "accept all".
> I can't find any of the above sources listed on the site provided.

The relevant rule is "Use Reliable Sources" and the subreddit seems focused on facts and statistics. I think it makes sense to default to disallowing random websites not reviewed by the source they've chosen for bias review.
Are you challenging me to build a socat loadbalancer in bash? In all seriousness, I concur. But if you just need to redirect some data streams socat is a rock solid and simple solution.
They are not, because you need dynamic typing for data binding. One does not rebuild UI library to use custom models. It is done via reflection and code generation.
Me buying a taco is a 100% loss. Tires for my car? 100% loss. Maybe the toothpaste has residual gains if forgone dentistry expenditures. But my Netflix bill is definitely a 100% loss.

Sending another mission to Jupiter though will likely result in serious returns on investments, even if they are non-obvious at this point.
In six months we'll have a clearer idea of where US inflation is heading. Particularly wage inflation. The velocity of money is down, so there's money waiting to be unleashed, stuck by uncertainty. Which asset will benefit? Bonds have been great for 40 years, and we expect to see interest-rate trouble to first show up outside the US. Stocks and income property seem very high.

I don't know the answer, but things will have shifted in six months. Hope that the shifts are gradual.
It's almost as if putting kids in a peer-pressure-cooker environment is a bad idea?

I might be biased, I'm autistic and my high school experiences were abhorrent and ended up scarring me for life. Primary school and college were fine, but high school? Forget about it, absolute bloody nightmare :)
In some countries mobile phone numbers have a prefix so you know by that.
Just like nobody lets their kids do drugs or have sex? (Do you remember being a teen?) Kids are sneaky and resourceful. Harm-reduction works better than abolition; authoritarian parenting erodes the trust you need to effect durable change in your kids' behavior.
a metaphysical victory for atheists who consumes the concept of soul would be that the concept ceases, which is equivalent to its physical death in the competing theist's view, and completely unconsequential to the atheist, which only proves that atheism is at least not that bad.
Anecdotally:

I was bullied a lot in school. When I became avoidant and just stayed at home, I was a lot happier because I didn't have those stressors.
OK, but if you're stuck at home, you're probably using Instagram more, not less. And when you're back in school, your Instagram usage probably declines.

Very unlikely that Instagram has a net psychological benefit, but being in school seems to have had a more direct effect.
Lacks much data to back up the claims, a few anecdotes here and there. Basically a description of one person’s feelings, and doesn’t distinguish science from the journalism that informs or misinforms the populace of it. The scientific establishment has always rejected new thoughts in established areas, plate tectonics comes to mind.

Meanwhile, it seems to me that science becomes “political” when the results suggest people should behave differently than they want to, and “apolitical” otherwise. Science that produces car-powering batteries, rockets you can voyage on, tells you where to find fossils of a certain kind? Rock on. Science that tells you that you need to use a condom, get a shot? Not so much. And science didn’t make a covid vaccine political.
