> Even for those non-professional uses it's probably better to put the PDF on a flash drive, walk into Staples and print it on their machines

I'm not trying to be argumentative, and what I'm going to say might be a "well obviously, duh" comment: This advice is really only applicable to those who have convenient access to a "staples", which is probably only 20% of us here. It is also only convienient if you don't have to regularly print things, and/or need things printed quickly.

Why am I bothering to write this? I guess I want you and others like you to not assume everyone is in the same situation as you. It's an easy trap to fall into, and especially dangerous if you are a builder wanting to take things to market (like so many people here on HN are).
The cosmic is a nice apple. However, I find the Envy apple to be a better combination of crispiness and flavor. I find the Cosmic Crisp to be crispy, but fairly one dimensional in flavor compared to Envy. Another great apple to try is Opal. Less crispy, but interesting flavor profile that almost has a hint of banana.
Do you require an advanced degree?
.org and .com is common practice for many project - just maybe should make sure there is a link between 2 sites - I checked your site .com and even when opensource is mentionnned, it's on the .com site - instead of linking to the .org... just my 2cents
Serbia? Syria?
The are critical pieces of the modern world yes. But not a utility. One cannot live without a utility and utilities generally have a monopoly in most places. If my power or water company bans me for some reason I am toast. I have to endure undue hardship to get something that provides may be 10% of the utility (own well, water pump, generator...). Internet itself (the pipes) on the other hand are probably a utility. I prefer the natural gas like solution though for internet. Someone owns the infrastructure and it is heavily regulated. Multiple other companies resell it, provide addon services etc. But search, email etc are like cars in the US. Essential, but also a business operating in a competitive space.
Because there are a lot of other factors that are different. Other countries have different interest rates, tend to have much smaller markets to sell into, and tend to have much more tightly regulated labor markets. There's also an absence of large tech acquirers that exist in the US.

VC economics rely on a portfolio theory of a few gigantic winners making up for the other losses. So if different economic conditions creates a difference in the ultimate size of our 'winners' than you have to figure out how to have fewer (or smaller) losses.
Anyone wearing a mask right now should kill themselves.

The marvel of the Segway was that it was self balancing. Unfortunately many people judged it as as too expensive.
> If you just trust in your own mind, it will manage priority for you and get better the more you trust it. You rarely forget important things (they have an immediate need and make it known). Small stuff just mentally shuffles themselves to the back of the mind, if a few fall off the table, it's not going to cause any significant impact.

I find the small stuff a constant drag on my attention, like a headache, and if I have some hugely important thing then that's even worse - I can't think about anything else. Putting stuff in a list and trusting myself to handle the list lets me focus on what I'm currently doing without worrying about forgetting something that I can't currently do anything about. Using technology to make our lives easier is also a very human experience :).

But I don't feel guilt from my lists - I separate the stuff I need to do from the stuff I might want to do one day, and I recognise that most of the latter will never get done and prune things off it pretty aggressively.
Maskers and vaxxers are 100% responsible for this.

I hope they fucking die.
technically you could also do northward launches, but if you look at the geography of the US, it does not cooperate and provide northward ocean in many places.
I was lucky enough to have some guavas around for a while but not very recently - if I’m remembering correctly I think the seed hardness is also largely a function of how ripe they are?
and yet it would be nice to still have the shuttle program... so far nothing is capable of EVA like the shuttle was so any repairs in space are still not possible, like they did in the past with the shuttle.
Add to that, the more it multiplies and spreads, the more chance of mutations leading to more variants. Needing updated vaccines, booster shots of existing, and/or higher rates needed to reach herd immunity.

Didn't the UK have another lockdown for this wave too?

Herd-masking seemed like a no-brainer from the beginning. It will be really hard to go back to that in the US after the CDC giving the all clear to go maskless.
Famously got George H W Bush into trouble during a Presidential debate.
> And none of those things are historically unique.

I never said it was historically unique, if by that you mean without any historical parallel. Of course if you look at other industries and other historical periods, you will see other cases where a certain industry in a certain country has pulled ahead. And US leadership in space (or any other industry) is not guaranteed to last forever, and is in fact unlikely to last forever. But the US does provide a supportive environment for private space entrepreneurship which is unique in the world today.

The US has both some unique strengths and unique flaws. It is a world leader in both the space industry and in mass incarceration. The first is something it can be proud of, and the second is something of which it should be ashamed. Neither lead is guaranteed to be permanent, so in neither way is it unique in an absolute historical sense, but in both ways it is unique relative to the world of today.

> Do you think Volta, Ampère, or Hertz are American names?

I feel like you are arguing, not against anything I actually said, but things you are imagining I said. I'm not an American. I'm perfectly capable of being critical of the US (there is much I could say on that topic) but I also think it has its strengths and SpaceX is evidence of some of them.

Yes but you had to:

. Know about ISIS

. Know they had a magazine

. Actually want to read it

This is different from ISIS propaganda being algorithmically suggested to you from a seemingly normal website like YouTube without you even seeking it out in the first place because some faceless algorithm values "engagement" over everything else.
I've been running a MM server for about three years. It's been great, though lately I've been a little worried about it. They added stuff like in-app marketing to admins, under the guise of being helpful — you know, teaching us about exciting new premium features — oh, and by the way, you can't turn it off. When apps start to do things like that, it feels like more drastic monetization strategies can't be far behind.
And there also exist expressions for the left-hand side that make both expressions truthy, like [0]:

$v = $null, $null, 1

($v -eq $null) -and ($v -ne $null) # True

In both these cases, this is caused by the language having built-in binary operators for when the left-hand side expression is a collection type that perform the operation elementwise and return an array.

Interestingly, it seems like PowerShell's operator overload resolution in general depends entirely on the type of the LHS. I say 'seems' because I couldn't find any sort of language specification when I looked into it a while ago like what C# and VB.NET have, and testing seemed to confirm that this was the case. Now, searching the PowerShell Core source, it seems from [1] that this is indeed the implementation.

This contrasts with C# [2] and VB.NET [3], where binary operator overload resolution is treated as if the candidate operator implementations were a two-parameter method group, making the resolution process 'commutative' (though not always commutative in practice as the operators themselves can still have different LHS and RHS types {Edit: example from the CLR [4]: +(Point, Size) but not +(Size, Point)}).

Question, what's the deal with the toner cartridges plastic? It looks like a lot of thick plastic. I get to buy a new one and throw the old one, or refill one with the "not recommended non-original toner".

Does the manufacturer offer some other environment friendly option?
Got the extended warranty on a Samsung TV once. It was a relatively small percentage to add to the purchase price, so said 'yes' when I would normally say 'no'.

That warranty ended up being very worthwhile as the panel developed the vertical lines problem, after 18 - 24 months - got a full replacement TV as the purchased model was no longer 'current' or able to be serviced. The replacement eventually got the vertical lines as well, still inside the 5-year (I think) warranty period - got another replacement, which is still going strong.

The original TV, with extended warranty, was purchased probably ten years ago.

Another cost to factor in with an extended warranty is the time / hassle to actually make the claim. Claiming the warranty on the second TV failure required some argumentative firmness.
> SpaceX didn't invent rocket engines

They kind of did invent full-flow engines though, which were an unattained holy grail of rocketry.
> What frightens me are polymerase mutations.

What are these in layman's terms?
No. Having your business wiped out by an errant script is just part of the experience.
Sounds like an extremely poor argument for letting criminals do whatever they want. Do you keep your house/car door unlocked just in case a criminal would like to take a gander? What if the thief throws a brick at the windows and the runs off?
You can also print documents at staples that you email to an address. They reply with a 24 hour code that you can type into the printer.

I'd love a service that would mail you the documents back in an envelope and was still as cheap ($0.15/page).
This sounds awfully similar to 'why can't they eat cake'.
To be clear, I meant "elimination of the outbreak" in the sense of an endemic virus that produces a steady case rate. Clearly no, no one expected this disease to be eradicated.
It's not a binary consideration, but you have expressed it as such.
> Myers’ recommendation centers on the mailbox, according to one of the people familiar with it. During the NLRB hearing, an employee said Amazon security guards used keys to open the mailbox, testimony that former NLRB chair Wilma Liebman said could be reason enough to overturn the result.

I just don't buy it.

1. The evidence seems to be based on the word of a single employee. If that's enough evidence to overturn an election, it will be hard to have one that isn't overturned.

2. The final total was 70-30. It would be impractical for Amazon to change the outcome because the size of the manipulation would have to be massive compared to the vote total, and would be easily detected.

3. It makes sense that the union lost the election because Amazon pays way above market in wages + benefits for the region. The union would be unlikely to have the leverage to increase compensation and might even be forced to take a cut, so it would be a hard sell to workers to pay dues.

The UK is running human challenge trials to determine that.

You provided a source showing that a chicken virus escaped selective pressure, in chickens, grown in a lab. Let's not overstate the relevance of your "evidence" to SARS-CoV2 amongst the human population.

But as I said, there's nothing terribly surprising about the idea that pathogens mutate to escape selective pressure. It's right out of biology 101. It would be tremendously surprising if those pathogens became more virulent, which is what you're trying to claim.
Also, Apple may have a vendetta against nVidia. It's been ages since any nvidia product worked on macos.
We need to embrace metamodernism to revive those days.
> Falcon 9 was the first attempt to achieve this, but it failed. Apart from grabbing the majority of the commercial launch market, it didn't really change anything. The number of orbital launches per year is roughly the same it has been since the 1960s.

Eh, but upmass is significantly up, despite it taking less mass to do stuff in space and stuff lasting longer.

Not to mention that it may take a long time from launch getting cheaper for payload to really start to take advantage of it. If launch stays sustainably cheap, it may be time to start analyzing the economics of space power stations, etc, again, which were almost feasible with worse technology at much higher launch costs.

> ... put the PDF on a flash drive, walk into Staples and print it on their machines.

In Japan, you can do the same thing on the multifunction printer/copiers that most convenience stores have. You can also upload the files in advance, so you don’t even need a flash drive [1 (English), 2 (Japanese)]. There are several such stores within a five-minute walk from my home in Yokohama. I do most of my printing there, though I do avoid them for confidential documents.

Xi Jinping and his gold-meddling flunkies
10 years ago I thought Linux was "ok", but that Windows and MacOS "just worked".

And I loved my Snow Leopard Macbook like crazy. At the time, MacOS felt like the best Linux distro available.

Sure, I could make Ubuntu look and work however I wanted, but I didn't have time for that. MacOS wasn't perfect, but it was pretty close. Losing customization is a small price for "just works".

Last year, after fighting with weird OS bugs on my newest 2019 Macbook Pro, and fighting constant frustrations and issues in Windows 10, I realized that they no longer actually "just work".

I was putting up with an inability to make things work _better_ based on an outdated notion that things work well to begin with. And when they don't, it's a black box that I can do nothing about.

So, cue the XPS 13 with Ubuntu (that I since replaced with Manjaro) and I have something that takes a little bit more work, but actually _works_ once I do. I get to now be in charge of what does and does not work, with my time being the limiting factor. Time that is valuable, for sure, but a small price to pay for not putting me at the mercy of a tech company that may or may not even fix the things that I need fixed.

It's still not perfect. Nothing is. And I look forward to an M(2+) Mac at some point for iOS development.

But for now, Linux has progressed enough, and Windows and MacOS regressed enough, that Linux is now the side of the line on which I fall.
A couple things stand out to me about Mattermost:

1. It's the most expensive chat out there, at $10/month and no free plan.

2. Focalboard is being integrated to be part of the chat. Focalboard doesn't currently do much that I find interesting, but I have hope that it will with time.
See Yourself as God Sees You (Appearance Guide)
See yourself as God sees you: Your appearance on the inside matter to the Lord and

not your external appearance, those who hear but never listen to the word are like

those who stare at a mirror. Jesus Christ said in the book of Matthew 23:28:

Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men,

but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity (KJV).
So now you're presupposing matter. Look, your myopia is not universal.
How should we reconcile China’s impressive athletic dominance of the Games with its officials’ adolescent hypersensitivity to offences, real or imagined? Does Beijing realise how silly it looks?

Olympic coverage of China is biased, as are attitudes. It seems people can't cover their achievements without criticizing them or accusing them of doping. Don't such critics realize how silly that makes them look, as they're devaluing the very Games the pretend to value?

But also, no country ever really covers another country's achievements in as glowing terms as it covers its own, even for allies.

For me, the above dismissal of the feelings of the Chinese people is racist, low empathy and normalizing being abusive to Chinese people; as in, why should we, Westerners, care that Chinese people are upset, their concerns are trivial, and we can do no wrong anyway? Typical fake justification bully attitude. It's basically admitting we don't understand them and are not bothered to even make the effort to walk a mile in their shoes or get their perspective. It's sad to see that attitude because it makes mutual respect seem a god-damned long way off.

Maybe my recall is inaccurate but i think things were different in the coverage of Beijing 2008, the world was a lot kinder to them, i think, before the CIA spy purge of 2012, but I'm sure other trends are important too. In truth, the Australia I know has always been racist against Chinese. From seeing kids from HK get bullied in elementary school, to hearing my own family's ignorant and racist attitudes, even before people saw China as successful, Westerners have inexplicably hated them.

But in the current holy war against all forms of hate speech, it seems this particular brand of bias is just too appealing to give up. Which weakens the moral stance of the crusaders by making their values seem self serving and arbitrary. A sad dynamic.
Where did you "hear" it has an R0 of 8-10? It's not time to be imprecise.

If you're referencing the CDC's case study from Provincetown, I think it's important to point out that the R value cited is the R value during Bear Week, not on average.

6 Steps to Take When Advocating for Process Change
We've had a lot. Asbestos, leaded paint, PCBs, Dioxins, plasticizers (not just BPA, bunch of others.) Too many pesticides to count.

Fracking chemicals are horrific and completely unregulated.

Indoors you've got VOCs like formaldehyde leaking out of furniture and carpets. There's also the fireproofing chemicals in furniture that are seriously nasty stuff. "New car smell" is also chock full of gasses that aren't good for you.

Near waterways we're doing a fantastic job of killing off everything via nitrogen runoff from lawns, farms, and septic systems.

Bush and Trump both raised limits for stuff like arseni in drinking water. PFOA and PFOS contamination is showing up all over the place thanks to airports and firefighter training facilities using them and letting it just run off: https://www.epa.gov/ground-water-and-drinking-water/drinking...

A radio program recently covered how the EPA was pressuring its researchers to strip out mention of possible analogues if those analogs were known toxins. What little review the EPA does is nearly useless because the industry has inserted itself so well.
