Someone else in the thread has already made the comparison to native Americans but I'll paraphrase your comment in light of that:

The Native Americans were sovereign countries for hundreds of years until they were invaded. Their land is currently occupied against their will. If someone believes Native American land to still be an occupied country rather than a part of United States it wouldn't be accurate to call native Americans a minority.

The timing matches too: the Chinese ended Tibetan independence in around 1720, around the same time European settlers conquered Native Americans.
I don't think these types of status updates (even automated ones) even originate in gaming contexts. "Currently listening to {song title}" has been a part of ambient status displays in IM interfaces since back early in the ICQ days.

I've known people in office settings automate their IM status (back to at least Lync/Skype for Business before Teams) to say things exactly like "making a presentation" or "busy coding", whether for fun or for micro-managing bosses or nagging coworkers hoping to digitally "peak over their shoulder".

Making it opt-out versus opt-in is maybe "gaming context-related" as Xbox and PlayStation both have opt-out versions on their own social networks. But the existence of detailed and automated status messages certainly isn't new from "gaming contexts".

That's tough, I've been there for sure. Personally I migrated and molded my career to better fit my psychology. This pretty much ended procrastination as a work issue, though every once in a while there's a real tough setup.

I also built a productivity system around the concept of modular leverage as opposed to using the same tools every time.

But it turns out there are whole careers and things that can be done at/for work that are a better/worse fit for just about everybody. The worse-fit items are natural to procrastinate, no matter how many productivity methods you have. So at some point it's important to be able to set a boundary and loudly proclaim, "this isn't working."

(Also I got kind of upset about the word procrastination itself. There are often other words which fit better and help to understand and solve the problem faster.)
Something that I would offer that, though Purism does advertise, I do wish they would hit it home more, they give a lot to the FOSS community. No really, they give back A LOT.

- Phosh, their phone shell, it being worked into upstream GNOME, and libhandy, which they started, is in upstream gtk4. GNOME Calls used to be a Purism app, now it is a GNOME app being maintained primarily by Purism.

- Several of their full time staff are Debian Maintainers and Debian Developers. One of the full time staff is a Mobian Developer and is very active in maintaining/developing Mobian.

- Purism has made a lot of effort to ensure that their applications and framework is available to the Pinephone, and to the greater community. Purism's work has helped advanced the Pinephone many times over.

- Several Purism employees are active in the Pinephone community, and help out not only the devs, but users who need help!

- For those that know my work (I have been working on MMS and VVM for the Pinephone/Librem 5), the Purism developers took a lot of time to help and mentor me so that I could get these features out there. They simply did not have to do that, but they did. I simply do not think those features would be available at all if it weren't for their help. (To those devs, I won't name you as I don't know if you want to be named, but you know who you are, You have my sincere gratitude.)

- Their Coreboot efforts has enabled others to port coreboot to other laptops. Here is one example: https://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/50924.html?thread=1900524

These are just examples I am exposed to and can readily give off the top of my head.

To me, a company that does that sort of work, I do think they are sincere in the fact that they have supply chain troubles, which is why the Librem 5 has taken so long to get into users hands.

Also, I see that $799 price tag as not only buying the phone, but also paying the developers who do all of the wonderful things that I outlined above. As much as I like the Pinephone, the $150 you pay is for just that, the phone. Most of the software ecosystem you see from the Pinephone comes from unpaid volunteers (such as myself). I'm not saying that is a bad thing, I actually think having such a cheap phone is great! But I don't think a lot of folks have these things in mind when they see the difference in price.

And before it's asked, yes, my Librem 5 has shipped, I should get the package early next week.

Looking back, it was really easy to build something like a domain name recommender 15 years ago or online calculators and such 10 years ago and mailing list tools 5 years ago. I had the skills for doing all of these at the time. Now is the next best time. Although I work in tech, I struggle to find small niche ideas that require very little marketing (SEO driven) and take 3 weeks to build, ship and launch. It doesn't seem so hard. Am I looking for Unicorns?

Maybe. But you're also financing the development of free software that is used not only by Purism but other companies and FOSS groups.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. We only get to choose between candidates who are corrupt in different ways. That isn't the fault of the people, it's the fault of the incumbent politicians who game the system to be most favorable to themselves.

Is the expected Linus mobile os experience more of a mini laptop with a touchscreen or are they really going after the Android/iOS feel?
Oh wow! I had no idea. That's wild. Check out System76 for other Linux-first options.
Not quite $1k per month, but in the cheap areas of the UK you can rent for $620/mo, call bills another $230. After adding food, you won't be far over $1000. Just in case you wanted an English speaking country and could stretch the budget.
I can nearly guarantee that there are many people living under $1k/mo within 10 miles of wherever you are. That’s the low-chaos option if you really want to focus.

Such a question is common from people who are running away from an unhealthy situation unrelated to geography. If so, maybe cut that off prior to and independently of the move, and then probably move anyway.

I think crypto mining can be ethically and ecologically balanced:

- in summer make sure to use solar power, and pump waste heat into pool or hot water tank

- in winter just heat your house, even better if you utilise co2 emission free source

- autumn/spring - mix both

Recuperation of crypto mining waste heat can be a real household saving.

Kotlin has context blocks instead of the looser context hopping continuation syntax of C# but it seems like it's trading one explicit syntax for another. You can still get off main thread runtime exceptions in Kotlin on Android, so it doesn't solve the issue entirely.

I think that just shows how necessary some kind of explicit syntax is, despite all the talk I see that it's unnecessary. I would love to see more examples though, or a Kotlin native UI.

I always wondered why /r/thenetherlands was so left and (very?) progressive and I never saw any comments giving counter weight. But now I know the mods are so quick to shadowban I am not sure I should even bother with the subreddit anymore, it's mostly bullshit anyway.
Spin it around: who gets to decide what information and messages are amplifed?

Because Reddit is not an unbiased information repository. It amplifies some messages and suppresses others, by numerous mechanisms. Some of those are under direct admin control, some subreddit moderators, some the collective hivemind of users, and a large portion through direct manipulation and gaming by various sources.

The platform is already tilted. The question isn't "who" or "how", but what should it tilt towards: bulshit or truth?
As I believe you know, single-purpose accounts are not allowed on HN and certainly not for political/national flamewar. I've banned this account.

I understand the frustrations of trying to represent a minority/contrarian view in a large internet forum. But you can't do it this way. It breaks the site guidelines and it only feeds the cheap and lazy fantasies ("bots, spies, and astroturfers") that internet users indulge in when they see things they don't like on divisive topics.

A lot, lot better than it used be. I went there in 2017 (or maybe it was 2018) and there were lots of places that Colombians from other parts of the country (or even other parts of the same city) were scared of, but we perfectly safe when you went there yourself. There are places you shouldn't go, but the safe places are pretty safe.
That's for sure. Here's what an Ettus B210 (now $1472, not cheap) looks like with a fundamental at 145 MHz. 3rd harmonic is only 10 dB down. Power was 0 dBm (with a 20 dB pad on the analyzer input).

Every sub reddit has its golden calf. If you're somewhat left leaning, you're going to end up in places that have leftist golden calfs.

If you're not brain-washed, you'll likely have some amount of critique of every single thing in the world including their golden calf.

So when people say: this is perfect and we're the good guys and they're the bad guys and look how stupid they are, you might say something nuanced or somewhat understanding and now you're a trump supporting, racist, misogynist, nazi incel.

Or, more likely, you'll get downvoted to oblivion and the only people who will comment will have some shit like that to say.

Personally, I've had plenty of reddit users actively tell me I'm a piece of shit for trying to understand what sort of psychological trauma it is that leads to people shooting up schools, or raping, or joining hate groups. Which "humanizes" them too much for most peoples tastes.

Basically: trying to understand "the enemy" or raise awareness about issues in "the plan" are totally off limit topics in most places.

> the most highly-motivated yet most unqualified individuals

I was struck by a similar thought not too long ago - we software developers often point out that it's effectively impossible to objectively measure software developer's "performance". As impossible as evidence suggests that it, it strikes me as even more impossible to measure a manager's effectiveness. They're stuck with very coarse, very game-able metrics like "on time, on budget" that only cheaters can possibly succeed at.

I clicked on each of these and while there seem to be a few "right of woke" comments they are massively buried. It could be that most non-woke commenters have either already been banned or now avoid it. This doesn't disprove the original comment.
If either of you (or others who like Threes) have an iOS device, check out SPL-T. It’s similarly engaging, and completely deterministic. Which means you have no one to blame but yourself for losing. Someone who’s really into math might be able to solve it and play forever.

If rental contracts could be registered with the state and enforced that effectively, they could also be enforced against landlords who fail to uphold their obligations as enumerated the contract.

I don't know a single regular on r/landlords who wants that to happen. Just today there was a landlord trying to force a tenant to pay for a window broken by an unaffiliated third party (collateral damage from a neighbor's domestic dispute) when the lease very clearly said the landlord was responsible.
Of course the same applies not just in the field of maths. The same could be said about software engineering just swap “projects” for tickets…
The company has increased in value by approx 10x since he has been in charge. This is 10x what the founders were able to achieve.

As a percentage of the value increase his payout is nominal. Less than 0.1%.
I’m guessing this is outside of Seoul. It’s been a decade since I visited Seoul and while I remember it being surprisingly affordable, I don’t remember it being that affordable in Seoul.

It's not about money. Google also has all the money in the world, and yet their customer devices suck. Apple has all the money in the world, and yet their online services suck.

> Nobody sane uses Kerberos to do IAM for public APIs.

Why if you don't mind? I'm actually looking at a major proprietary protocol used by hundreds of millions of users that use Kerberos as the fundamental cryptographic attestation of identity and roles. Like clients all connect to a VPN who's bridge uses the Kerberos ticket to whitelist backend services accessible from that connection. They're basically being used the same as if an API gateway understood oath claims and could stop whole classes of client calls at the perimeter.
C# will not context switch until you yield execution with an await. There is some default continuation setup that will happen if you use the Task Parallel Library (where the context management is explicit but abstracted away inside the library) but that's a different thing.

People who don't get vaccinated generally say it's because they don't trust the government. Probably because the government has proven time again to be untrustworthy. It's not just right wingers like the news is insinuating (another untrustworthy group), but all sides of the political spectrum and all demographics have people who are afraid to get vaccinated. No amount of scolding from you will change their mind, and COVID is probably here to stay, so you should adapt to that truth.

As to my motivations, I'm fully vaccinated.
London's vacancy rate is actually very low, even during covid when vacancy rates tended to rise.
That might also be a factor of where you're living at.
Medellin is reasonably safe if you stay out of certain areas, and has "eternal spring" (close to equator, but high elevation). The homicide rate of Colombia is 5x USA, which in turn is 5x Germany, which in turn is 5x Singapore.
I wish them luck, but judging by the ~week I spent trying to get a LimeSDR mini to work, their product is so half baked that it's basically not fit for purpose, and if you're considering getting one, I'd recommend something with an Analog Devices front-end instead.

The PLL would fail to lock at random frequencies and temperatures. You'd try to scroll through e.g. the 2.4 GHz ISM band and would randomly get downconverted signal or baseband noise on every other click. Two minutes later, the set of bands you could capture would be entirely different. There was no consistency whatsoever.

When I went to their forums to see if other people had encountered the same issue, it turned out that basically none of the LimeSDRs even pass their own self tests [1]. I don't know how they're still selling these devices... they don't work.

I returned it, paid ~4x more for a USRP, and could not be happier. The hobby is playing with radio modulation schemes, not debugging a defective piece of silicon.

> Game developers have tried for literally decades to bridge the gap between PCs and consoles and mostly failed at that with both platforms being relatively static.

For grand strategy / RTS, yeah, that's kind of a function of the complexity. Most other game genres are fairly well defined in the expected control schemes on both platforms now though.
Comparing SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity to vaccine immunity: reinfections
Vietnam is crazy cheap. A big city will have great internet. The south is a little more western but really hot. The north is very nice too. Hanoi is a little more expensive. If you leave the country you can get another travel visa for 3 months. So if you take a small holiday every three months you can stay for a long time. Covid has the shut down but that won't be forever.
The $500k figure is the cost the local housing agency spends building units sized based on actual need and with optimizing cost part of the focus. Private developers around here regularly create housing costing anywhere from $700k to $2 million per unit
What about inactivated vaccines such as Sinovac? Does that immune response resemble natural infection?

Does this mean inacticated vaccines work better against variants?

About 90% of the countries in the world, including the U.S., do not recognize Taiwan, because of diplomatic pressure from China. In China's view Taiwan is a rebellious state that only exists due to foreign interference.

That's not something that the WHO decided to do. The WHO is an international organization setup by participating countries to operate under rules they, as a group, specify and sign onto. The U.S. was involved in this. The WHO can't do whatever they want.

So I would agree with you that it appears that the WHO may not have relayed the Dec 31 email from Taiwan, as per the Washington Post article you linked to. It's probably safer to blame this more on bureaucratic stupidy than malice. But they did have a release 6 days later on Jan 6, with many more releases over the month relaying the information they received, including warnings about and suspicion of human transmission several days later, then on Jan 14, confirmation of human to human transmission.

You earlier claimed that delayed reporting from the WHO "stopped the US from doing any sort of checks of any sort and life went on...all the while the virus was spreading all over the country."

So when did the U.S. first take action? February? March? Are you saying that the delay between the Dec 31 email from Taiwan and the WHO release on Jan 6 made a difference? If so, then why did the U.S. wait so long to react after the reports of human to human transmission?

Do you understand why I don't follow your logic? You seem to be insisting on a conspiracy where I'm not seeing the link between cause and affect that you are. Perhaps you are looking too hard for a scapegoat?
Market-wise? Obviously the latter, as can be plainly seen from company valuations.
It’s very fun! I use it to monitor for low flying aircraft around a farm where I am doing some drone experiments. The legal drone limit in my area is 400 feet above ground level and near the hills some aircraft fly pretty low, so I’m going to ground the drone any time an aircraft is nearby that is not above 10kft.
Calling it a tungsten cube is incredibly accurate. Not very precise though.

If you're gonna be pedantic then try to do a good job of it.
To comment on the author's point "01 Create a Compelling Narrative", having a decent flow for a pitch deck is super underrated. I have a feeling that these days VCs look at pitch decks like HR looks at resumes - the initial screening is probably less than a minute so a bad flow can "kill the vibe" instantly. (I'm not a VC, correct me if I'm wrong).

This is the best template that I have seen for creating a decent flow: https://medium.com/the-mission/the-greatest-sales-deck-ive-e...
