You mean that he asserted that his use of the n-word only had behavioural and socioeconomic implications and not racial?

He might honestly intend it that way but I feel like he is very misguided. He could use the n-word to target someone with a PhD and see if his assertion holds. Would the targeted person respond with confusion as he does not fit the bill? Or would he interpret the slur for what it is, a word most often used to denigrate someone for their skin tone.

I assume you are using this anecdote as a counterargument against my claim that redneck is more classist than racial. My response would be to point out that white people frequently call other white people rednecks. Surely it would be absurd to think that white people do this to disparage whiteness. There is, in my mind, a racial qualifier when using redneck but the racial qualifier is not the insult.
Is it? I can see how unexpectedly defending the capitol against a sea of protesters ostensibly trying to overthrow the results of an election would be traumatic. Soldiers get PTSD from their combat experiences, it's completely reasonable for a cop to have the same thing.
Around 40,000 American die each year on our roads, this has been pretty consistent for decades.

As we add more safety features, the marginal cost per life saved is going up. We got a big bang for the seat belt. But backup cameras cost around $5.7 million dollars in cost for every one life saved.

I commend NHTSA for their hard work, but I can't help but feel government safety mandates in cars are now scraping the bottom of the barrel in cost-effective life saving measures.

If I had to offer an alternative, SAMHSA, the government org focused on substance abuse seems to be under-funded and highlights numerous ways additional dollars can save lives.

So rather than scrape the bottom of barrel on making cars safer, perhaps we can instead spend that money on substance abuse interventions with youth and college age students that lead to alcoholism, binge drinking, and drunk driving. Maybe we would get more bang for our buck.

Unless this part of the bill isn't actually about saving lives, but then I'd have to ask why a Representative from Michigan would have an incentive to make cars more expensive other can wanting to save lives.
My logic is: If others eat it, it’s fine. It also helps to eat it with someone who’s somewhat familiar with it.

My first time in Thailand I ate a disgusting salty soup with a spoon. It turns out you’re supposed to dip vegetables in it. What I did was the equivalent of eating ketchup with a spoon, except it was many times more flavorful.

Now I love it: น้ำพริกกะปิ
Same here. It's a neat app, I don't feel like I'm missing something.

The main bummer is no Safari extension, which (together with no RES) is preventing me from using Safari as my main browser.

Looking back at the times ~10 years ago, it was a pretty good investment to buy software licenses before everything went SaaS.
Reminds me of this TED talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PY9DcIMGxMs "Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong", where he asserts that addiction isn't caused by the things we typically correlate with it. I was going to try to summarize, but I don't think I can do it justice. Its not long.

> I think people drink and drug for a reason. We just mostly don't bother to try to figure out what the reason is for this specific person

Absolutely. This is totally in line with what that guy says in the video too.

One thing he says: "The opposite of addiction is connection."

I know that personally, when I have problems that I struggle with and don't feel like anyone in my life can help me with or talk to about them (sadly has happened once or twice in my life), I have a tendency to binge, with anything that provides a brief escape, be it alcohol, drugs, video games, TV series', chocolate. Of course, its never been too bad, severe or long lasting for me, so it hasn't been too much of a problem and I wouldn't claim it comes close to what an alcoholic or heroin addict goes through, but I can at least see how someone might slip into such things, as a distraction from reality. And its usually coupled with a feeling of isolation and loneliness, feeling like you're alone with problems you don't know how to solve. So you hide from them instead. That's the impression I got after thinking about my past situations at least.
More and more Bitcoin is going to be held by custodians, like crypto exchanges, retail trading apps like Robinhood, and even traditional banks. Handling your own Bitcoin keys will end up being a niche cypherpunk thing, like using command-line PGP. It's actually a perfect analogy, because most popular "E2EE" chat apps are also custodial with your keys.
As much as to hate to admit you’re right, you’re right.

I’ve become more and more disconnected from user base as time has passed. I think I’ve been stuck at around 2k total karma for years now. I know I used to have more points several years ago. Paying no mind to the points is a good idea. Might be an even better idea to mourn and grieve the HN I used to enjoy, instead of fooling around with its rancid corpse…
I think this is the dumbest take on addiction. I've seen normal upstanding people resort to stealing copper to get a fix because the drug has wired their brain to get that hit. Or food addiction causing people to binge eat because they can't function without it. This isn't "hey that feels good I need more" this is "my brain is telling me I need this at all costs". Are you the same type of person who thinks people just need to "get over it" when it comes to depression?

Arguably they aren't cheap... they're just able to externalize their greatest cost: roads. If the cost of building and maintaining the US road system were baked into say the cost of gas or registration... you would be looking at an entirely different cost of ownership.
Then we will also have to find a decentralized rating/sorting system that works.

A remarkable thing about the COVID crisis is the unprecedented close cooperation and data sharing by widely disparate scientific communities.

The obvious global benefits may also be driving cooperation and sharing in other fields, including (and perhaps especially) publishing. Closed data has no beneficiaries except commerce - it's being seen as a dead model. Finally.
The need for APIs to not have non-obvious side effects is especially important for non-career developers as they’re less likely to be aware of said side effects. So your argument is actually a strong reason for exec() not to fork /bin/sh

> On Unix, it is not very intuitive because you cannot use backslash inside a single quoted string. To quote "o'neil" we have to write

You can always do the weird one, which I find easier to remember (but is likely so for no one else), of dropping to double quotes for the single quote:

It’s interesting the author frames cache optimization as a way to make ‘reasonable use’ of computing resources.

But cache locality is only relevant to your code if you have a monopoly on a CPU core. There are likely hundreds of other processes running on a machine apart from yours and to make ‘reasonable’ use of computing resources your program needs to be effective and perform at even if those other processes preempt your code from running.

Making your code really good at using ALL the compute resources on a machine is not the same thing as making your code make reasonable use of computer resources.
That depends on your use case. If you're trying to check the hostname against some sort of whitelist or blacklist you're going to want to normalize it. Then you have all kinds of fun like IDN to deal with.
> because of US judicial philosophies he is dead.

That person is dead because he killed himself. We do not know why he decided to kill himself, he did not leave a suicide note (this time around)
That is the old policy.

> But starting in April 2022, that yearlong delay will no longer be permitted: Researchers choosing green open access must deposit the paper immediately when it is published.
No, its not.

“Fallacy” is not “you are not allowed to”, only “it is a source of error to”.
I agree, I think the difference is that in 1999 when he wrote that piece, there wasn't a clear audience in front of him that could react immediately. Nowadays, everything that gets written is immediately posted into social networks to be given instant gratification.
I’ve heard this several times, but I looked into it in more detail, and it seems that there’s some controversy: e.g. https://www.pnas.org/content/113/9/2442, https://academic.oup.com/femsre/article/41/6/941/4569254?log...
Pretty sure it was stratified by age group? Other then that, I think your points stand.
The NYC mayor's democratic primary race did that. "What is the average price for a new home in Brooklyn". No one was within an order of magnitude, including people who worked in the housing administration a few years ago.

Actually, come to think of it, there were similar quizzes in the democratic primary in SF.
Good thing you aren’t the only one looking!
This bill keeps getting worse with all the wreckage that is getting included. Please please, start including the names of the reps pushing these idiotic measures as it's the only way to stop them.

And before someone accuses me of "not wanting to stop drunk driving", of course I do. The way to do that is to address the underlying causes of alcoholism, not patching the symptoms.

Personally the UI itself is fine. The UX on the other hand not so much.

- Firefox Extension doesn't work fully in a private window in Firefox.

- Extension loses data when you click away from it.

- Extension is hard to navigate using keyboard - e.g. there is no way to copy specific username/password/otp code.

There is lots more issues.
If you read further you would come to understand that is the current state of things, and the significance of the submitted article is that a new policy means the papers must be immediately made free.
“ Our analysis showed that in every referendum held in the European Union since the 1970s, low-income and less well-educated voters have converged in expressing their opposition to further supranational integration. In some sense, this is not surprising. In a union focused almost exclusively on the liberalisation of human and capital flows and the imposition of stringent fiscal rules, there is little to gain for those workers who most suffer from the shocks induced by the unregulated global capitalism of the 21st century. ”

The gains of globalization go to the rich by default. No western country has yet determined how to benefit the poor with the productivity gains.
Exploitation is not an ethical question, it is necessary for societies that a discrepancy exists between the value of labour invested and the value of the return. Otherwise you'd have a society where only those who work would be rewarded, and the ill, the elderly and children would get nothing.

Capitalism doesn't require greed, in the abstract it is just a condition whereby some must sell their labour and others have to buy it. In practice, there are of course a number of issues when production revolved about value accumulation, and it breaks down when the reproduction of society on a material level becomes unprofitable.

Capitalism is the rule by Capital, the impersonal forces that emerge from the structures based on the wage-labour relation. Capitalists, insofar they still exist, are (well-treated) servants, but they have no autonomy and are not rulers. Some stand to gain more than others, naturally, but the need to moralize capitalism is the consequence of weak theory, not something inherent to the system.
Backup cameras probably saved the economy from an insane amount of damages. I've never had an accident at speed, but I do have one insurance claim from reversing into a vehicle (sadly totaled another car because I had a Blazer with brutal rear visibility).
The current publication system doesn't necessarily avoid that problem either. Many papers are accepted due to the prestige of certain authors and conformity to other papers in the same field. Filters like these can lead to a false sense of security in the quality of the work.
The problem is "mob dynamics". A visible picket line, a blocked street - that creates attention and draws more workers into the strike. On the Internet, these crowd dynamics don't work nearly as effective as they do in the meatspace.

It's non-trivial because the userinfo part is not structured in the grammar, but is instead just constrained to a particular character set.

I enjoy my car. I enjoy maintaining a building, going hiking, exploring the countryside, etc. The left wing politics, density, and “urbanness” of big cities is not for me. I much prefer the open road, nature, etc. I want to retire to 10 acres of land.

All of that, I can’t do without a car. I don’t think everyone could live like you, since it’s just not the majority societal preference. People never evolved to live in concrete jungles.

Shame to personalise it, don't you think?

He's just arbitraging. If "the system" leaves gaps across which you can trade for a 300% profit, then people will inevitably trade across those gaps and take the profit. Those people aren't bad people for doing that.

Look, I know that drunk driving is a serious issue, but based on what I see on the roadway, NOBODY is paying any damn attention out here anymore. Whether it is phones or giant screened infotainment systems, the amount of distractions is staggering. If we are going to go the route of overreach and “nanny state”, why not find a way to disable certain features of the drivers phone and do away with the large screen infotainment systems altogether.
People also forget that these measures, taken together, significantly increase the costs of cars.
I think you still have a point however.

What is objectively true vs. what is subjectively understood and expected from "Green" as an ideology, are generation two completely different things.

Expectations are unreasonable in the latter. So that causes the judgement of "success" to be unreasonable.

Most people do not have an objective understand or perspective of what being Green under LEED would mean.

Most people think and act as though you can throw up a few solar panels and then run an iron blast furnace with the Green energy. The numbers simply don't work. Most people do not understand how much energy is required to provide their current lifestyle!

The level innumeracy and its universality of that innumeracy is that Epic Fail.

It's the worst in places that are the most religiously strident places like California. In general, you'd need land for solar panels equivalent to your entire neighborhood to merely duplicate and provide your current energy use just from your own home. And that doesn't even cover EVs being charged!

So how much did that house cost you? And now you need 10x that much land just to be Green? And what about the energy inputs to build and keep the Grid going so you can use cheap land for that? It's a lot more than anyone typically is aware of! Try 20x-500x depending on specifics of things like thermodynamic efficiency and resulting impact on supply chains!

And a 10x-20x puts you into fossil fuel, nuclear power territory being optimal.
> at least your own demo should be free of errors

:) That would be a dishonest demo.

You try to show how well it works, not that it works perfectly well (which is false). Edit: especially since we know that OCR is hardly perfect - we expect errors to be minimized, not absent, and the first interest is to see where the engine fails.
It presents a 48bit address space for services, which is ultimately what everyone care about. Having the "service location" protocol be part of the transport OSI Layer in TCP was a design flaw IMO. That should have been handled higher in the stack.

When you send a string to the shell for execution, it seems reasonable to expect >, semi-colons, pipes, and other shell operators to be interpreted by the shell unless you escape them.

Corn meal, powdered cheese, oil, and salt, mostly.
Yeah, I just noticed that though too late to edit my post to note it :(. Sounds like they plan to nuke the native Mac application, the core original value proposition, in favor of some cross platform Electron thing as well. Oh well, it had a good run, but the business incentives are pretty inexorable forces I guess when they're aiming for a multi-billion valuation cash out.

Although devil's advocate:

>users are going to have to run a version of their cloud server locally and use that for syncing instead of just having a vault they can sync locally or through the service of their choice.

I don't see that as inherently ridiculous if it genuinely was a full standalone version with no internet dependencies. Lots of local software going back ages and ages in Unix splits up "server" and "client" sides of things and it can be a sensible architecture in some instances and does not by itself mean anything bad. Like, I don't see what your issue would be vs "sync locally", if it's all under your control, potentially on the same system even, how would that not be merely another way to sync locally just a different implementation? And I don't see the value of "a service of my choice" vs literally just being able to run it as my own service. "Service of my choice" should mean who provides the VPS or colo or whatever, or what VPN I use to access my own local server. A true self-host eliminates the need for Dropbox or iCloud which is fine by me.

Of course this being modern AgileBits I kind of expect a fairly large number of asterisks here that neuter it in practice. But then again that they are even asking at all is something I wouldn't have predicted, I guessed they'd eventually attempt to full force everyone into their subscription model and that would be the end of my 1P upgrades/usage. Maybe it will be anyway if the application starts sucking even harder moving forward, but local host on a normal pay model could change my mind.
Packaging things this way lets representatives and senators more effectively barter for support - "I'll support this bill if you add this other thing" is more effective tactic with these large omnibus bills.

You can argue if this is good or not for the country, but the argument definitely is that it allows a representative more tools/leverage for his constituency, and that it allows for more effective compromises.

Any attempt to reversing this trend requires dealing with that line of argument.
