There are many niche subreddits with deep knowledge about their respective subjects. This knowledge comes out in product recommendations, discussions about interesting nuances, and as a place to share original creations (which I don’t think should be undervalued, even if one is an advocate of personal websites—I think content aggregation and easy posting does have value). Subreddits that personally come to mind are /r/fountainpens (a wealth of knowledge on maintaining and restoring pens), /r/mechanicalkeyboards (fascinating when it comes to custom boards), /r/watches, and of course /r/buildapc (an unparalleled resource of computer building lore for part compatibility, build failure debugging, etc). I’m certain there are plenty of other subreddits that provide similarly excellent value for their communities. Why should anyone have to log in to Reddit just to read someone’s post on /r/buildapc about how they should fix their unique issue?

My experience with Twitter is more limited, but I know people use it as sort of a microblogging platform sometimes and it benefits from the same ease of posting+content aggregation setup I mentioned earlier.

This is all my take, of course! I just hope we can avoid balkanizing the internet, despite all of the incentives these social media companies have to do so.
A 2010 auto is likely paid off. The carrying costs are low.

That doesn't mean they can afford rent. It just means they have some income, but probably not enough to support a middle class lifestyle.
Thank you; this is the only contribution here that has factual basis without some absurd fallacious argument following it.
Not all countries have something like fair use. Could be a problem in the EU.
If you're making the actual game, and can therefore implement the virtual machine in native code on the host machine (instead of in a shader on the GPU as here) then you can very easily get 10 to 100 MIPS performance in an emulated machine with a very simple emulator. Such as https://github.com/brucehoult/trv

Bear in mind that the original Mac was roughly a 2 MIPS machine and an early Pentium or PowerMac 100 MIPS.
I am 100% unsure, but if you hold a modern Sonicare toothbrush head up to a refrigerator door the magnetism (if any) is not even strong enough to hold the head to the door. The old models had two dark-black rectangular magnets (many of which I still use to affix postcards to my fridge) and the new ones have light silver circular “magnets”. The ‘how/why’ is well beyond my scope of knowledge.
There is Tofu. It doesn't export, but it does back up to iCloud, fwiw.

Apple may be worse than others.. but also know that people move around, and bring a part of their old culture to the new team. If they're in a senior position, and they have a bias towards people from their old employer while hiring, they could start hiring people from the ex-employer. Mix that in with a fast growing team, and now there is a risk of a subset of the company acting like they're at the old company.

FWIW, I have heard these types of stories before too, and they are definitely NOT unique to Apple.

Just say you don't care. The most unbearing thing for us is that you claim to care while brutalizing and fetishizing others to justify your own crusade.
Write 'em off. If they aren't causing problems then ignore them. If they are causing problems, well, probably beat them and kick them out of town. Its going to be that or jail them and some how jail seems crueler than corporal punishment and banishment. I say this because I don't think its crazy or irrational to not want to be a part of society at large, but that society in general depends on people wanting to participate and do good by each other and does not have graceful mechanisms for dealing with people that want to fuck that up.
Thinking more broadly, I suspect you could help people not get to that point with stronger community bonds. If they saw value in society then they'd probably participate right?
In a eastern european country the grave is leased for 7 years. After this period if you don't extend the lease, it will be leased to somebody else. You can burry anybody there but i think that there is a period of time before you can burry the next one.

The Taliban said that they would agree to have OBL tried under Islamic law. That sounded to me like an opening position at the start of negotiations. That sounded to Dick Cheney like an excuse to not negotiate and go to war. Going to war sounded to Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld like an excuse to build up American capabilities in the region so that America could have another war to convert Iraq into a shining light of democracy pumping out oil under a constitution written by the USA.

I think so. All evidence points to systemic infection being rarer in vaccinated people.

Probably once the initial rush of antibodies dissipates, the virus can get a foothold in the sinuses easy enough. But most the time the immune system will squash it without much trouble.

My feeling so far seems if you think of infection as a continuum then vaccines probably reduce detectable by PCR infection by 2/3rds. Symptomatic illness by 8 to 1. And serious illness by 30 to 1.

But the risk from community spread can be high enough to overwhelm those odds. Where I live case rates are 25 higher than they were 8 weeks ago.

I am concerned of a significant drop in the quality of air that surrounds the non-weed-smoking single mom of two young toddlers living in a block of flats encounters when the flats above, below, and to the side, are all occupied by legal weed smokers (And the majority of stores sell weed). Am I wrong to be concerned?
I mean, Newton and Leibniz figured out calculus at the same time in slightly different ways. It is common enough, but still a nice coincidence when it happens.
The trouble is not with the ease of development but the centralization and ease of finding the restaurant.

Marketplaces provide a one-stop location for customers, instead of searching Google then scrolling and clicking through each site to then get a 404 or poor website.

If you created a simple website it would need a whole bunch of work to get it to rank, get it added to Maps, Yelp etc. A well known marketplace/s provides everything for a very low cost in the long run.
I feel like the real challenge isn't the software but the provision of delivery drivers. Before UberEats, there was a service in Australia called Menulog, did much the same thing but required restaurants to supply their own drivers.

It was dominated by the sorts of restaurants who already had drivers (pizza joints, chinese/indian places). There was very little uptake among places which didn't already have delivery organised.

Sure thing.

> From what I remember at the time /r/coronavirus and /r/china_flu removed any discussion about "leaks" (or were they?) from China.

I'm no expert on the content. I only know that the amount of posts removed as shown on reveddit is going to look the same at first glance regardless of what subreddit you are looking at. As for which topics were removed, someone could do a research project on that.

> On the other hand, not all the "leaks" discussed in /r/Wuhan_Flu turned out to be what they seemed (videos of people "dropping dead" on the streets etc.).

I agree and think the top comment on that OOTL post you referenced gives a more balanced view of what was going on [1],

> For background, everyone agrees the outbreak in Wuhan in late 2019 is an easily spread, relatively lethal [edit: relatively lethal compared to influenza], brand new virus. Unfortunately, outside that, details are very sparse and major organizations WHO, CDC are non-committal about predictions.

> Since “official” details are very sparse, true details are emerging outside official channels along with a whole lot of conspiracy theorizing. The two are extremely mixed at this point. A quick review showed the sub in question contains all levels. For example, excellent NEJM articles showing that the virus can spread prior to symptoms interspersed with video footage of a bunch of black birds flying into China because they can apparently smell all the dead bodies.

It's dishonest but it's also basically industry standard for food service, you only make tips above your wage after you subsidize your own wage, for example in my state NC: "In North Carolina, an employer MUST pay at least $2.13 an hour to tipped employees as long as each employee receives enough in tips to make up the difference between the wages paid and the minimum wage ($7.25)."

Perhaps, but I think it might've been a logistically challenging to do that vs being consistent with what is being reviewed and sold.
Mad fan of Proxmox. I reeeeally wish they would build support for Docker containers.

Yes, I can run them in a VM and currently do just that.
Can you clarify this? Property taxes are what are holding me back from making a bid for a more expensive home. If I buy a home for $1 million, won't I have to pay property taxes based on that price even if it was previously tax assessed at $100k.

So I know this is not directly related to this lawsuit-- but, can someone with knowledge of the industry explain this to me?

I placed and order for pickup from "Custy's pizza" in Norco CA-- which if I understand correctly has been in business for at least 30 years.

I had ordered from GrubHub from there without incident several times before. I place my order and it proceeds through the normal order progression. It just happens to be an early evening where it is pouring rain-- very rare in my region of California.

When I arrive at the pizza shop-- the lights are off inside, and the door is chained.

After a few hours, GrubHub confirms I've picked up my pizza (I hadn't), and the transaction was complete.

I tried to dispute the transaction, but GrubHub kept closing the chat and then giving a cheery message about how I'd closed the support chat (I hadn't).

I have maybe used GrubHub once since. Ironically, that experience forced me to discover a pizza shop that was closer to my place that had much higher quality food and much better service (mostly staffed by locals).

What the heck happened here? How does an order process proceed through a restaurant that is closed and unmanned? I have to assume some sort of malfeasance.
Lets talk about harm. Street people don't have places to dispose of needles, they don't have access to sanitation or toilettes, frequently are struggling with mental health issues in loud and sometimes frightening fashions, oh and I guess if you're a woman in that position you're in incredible danger. With that in mind, is it more clear why other people wouldn't want any one to live like that?

> and sometimes the fix is not an as easy as restarting a server.

Yes, but more often than not you just restart a couple of nodes, maybe kill and re up a couple containers and that's about it. The question is do the cases where you really have to dig in outweigh those where restarts just work?
You forgot to add the test cases :)

There’s a cap on increases on the previously assessed value, value is re-assessed when ownership changes (except in certain cases like parents to kids). Look up Prop 13.
So if you found yourself in the position where if you weren't cleaning up other people's mess then the environment would be damaged, and you weren't being paid, you would keep doing it?

If so, why aren't you putting yourself in to that position right now? And assuming you do start, at what point does it become specifically your obligation such that you think you should get sued if you stop doing it?
This could be rewritten without any loss of impact.

The sarcasm is implied and doesn't need a "lol" which just looks immature.

Insulting the poster decreases the quality of discourse and encourages indecency. It increases the chance that the next person who finds you to be in the wrong will likewise be indecent.

Furthermore it drives away people who despite merely being incorrect in one case may have other useful information to share.

Your manner of speaking is a larger negative than someone merely being wrong and it will end up getting you booted from the site because it violates hacker news rules.
Firefox Focus Reviews
>and a cultural bias towards simplicity, this is the tradeoff they decided to make

Literally the only point of an operating system is to be a stable API for other people to write software on top of. If you're not doing that, then why make an OS?
To shed some light on the matter (goto the last line for a Tl;Dr explanation):

CMR:good for everything, and NAS+RAID use. You want this one pretty much for everything.

SMR: good for light desktop work, very risky for NAS+RAID use.

Older plain Red drives are CMR and therefore good, but check that their model string contains EFRX and not EFAX because WD at one point silently started shipping SMR drives labeled as WD Red, and the only difference was the model string, which contains EFRX for CMR (good) drives and EFAX for SMR (bad) ones.

Be aware however that WD uses the model number in a very inconsistent way, for example there are new WD Red Plus models who have the EFAX designation, still are CMR drives, therefore good. Use it as indicator for older models, while newer models can be sorted out using their commercial name.

Therefore, as of today:

WD Red: those are mostly/all SMR drives. Avoid them.

WD Red Plus: those initially were the old CMR WD Red ones, simply relabeled to show the difference. Good for everything. Newer ones have a different model string now which should imply some improvement besides a plain relabeling. They're still CMR and good. Those are what I'm currently using on my home NAS.

WD Red PRO: those are high end CMR drives with better performance and durability standards than the Plus ones. Good for everything and indicated for heavy load situations. More costly however.

https://documents.westerndigital.com/content/dam/doc-library...

Yes, Plain WD Red drives are marketed as NAS drives; just ignore them.

Tl;Dr: Avoid plain WD Reds, use Plus for low cost desktop or Home/SOHO NAS hardware, and Pro for more intensive uses.
Back in the 70s California passed a proposition that limits how much property taxes can increase. [0] As a result of this, if you buy a home and the price goes up afterwards, you won't be paying property taxes on the market price of the house.

Hi Len! :)
I would say they forced the Chinese goods on us rather than giving us a choice between good quality and cheap. In my opinion it was not market forces but corporate forces that made the choice for us.
If the problem is that it's too standardized and inflexible, I don't see how adding a centralized bureaucracy around it will solve this problem.

We don't need any of that, we just have to stop making fun of people who spell things phonetically.
I agree with what others are saying here.

I usually give thoughtful responses, but I am for sure can be satirical and can be pretty iron harsh when I think someone is an idiot.

I have been called a troll many times, when I know I have not been one. Many others have liked my comments.

Unfortunately, there is no studies on humorless assholes.

There's that study that shows that 80% of drivers think that they are above average drivers. I think that is the same with humor. Except 97.9% of people think that they have an above average sense of humor.

I like what one of the sentence in the wikipedia entry says under "satire".

"Common uncomprehending responses to satire include revulsion (accusations of poor taste, or that "it's just not funny" for instance) and the idea that the satirist actually does support the ideas, policies, or people he is attacking."

Voltaire wrote the greatest satirical work in Western Civilization - "Candide". Voltaire signed with a pseudonym: "Monsieur le docteur Ralph", or "Doctor Ralph". Candide was in the Index Librorum Prohibitorum, the Roman Catholic Church's list of prohibited books. Candide's ban lasted into the twentieth century in the United States. For example, Candide was barred from entering America: in February 1929, a US customs official in Boston prevented a number of copies of the book, deemed "obscene".

So, I'm SURE that all those stiff humorless assh-les thought Voltaire was a troll and an assh-le.

So, really, my take on it is, that I don't give one little sh-t what people think of me, beyond a certain point. If I know I'm not being an assh-le, then that is all that counts to me, and everyone else is wrong, even if it is 95% of reddit, haha.

>not recommended for production.

Rhetorical question: What percent of use cases is it not recommended for use in production?
California is a net exporter of poor people. Yet it still manages to have more than 25 percent of the nation's homeless population while only holding 12 percent of the nation's overall population.
There’s some nuance to that. 70% were already in SF when they became homeless, but the vast majority of San Franciscans aren’t from here. Only a third we’re even born in California. So it seems like people move here, become homeless, and stay.

And 30% coming here after becoming homeless isn’t peanuts.

The fundamental trouble seems to be that market has collectively decided that the cost of good customer service is a value consumers are willing to lose in exchange for cheaper goods.

The endless consolidation of profitable businesses into ever larger corporations transforms places of business into inhuman constructs where comfort, care, and other aspects of good service get buried by unexpectedly perverse incentives:
Avoiding litigation
Maximize profit
Higher costs of tracking employee misconduct leading to ineffective internal accountability.
Once you have thousands of people acting as customer service agents, no amount of culture or rules or management can cure the natural distribution of human populations. People will find ways to do just above the minimum required effort to appear satisfactory.

Employee productivity becomes subject to pareto distributions with a tiny number of high quality workers and a majority being merely average. Throw in the modern "gig" culture where nobody stays for longer than 3 or 4 years, and good customer service becomes very expensive and vanishingly rare.

Capitalism, as she is wrote, contains fundamental structural incentives that keeps accountability to the consumer priced out. Society has imposed the burden of product safety (and other tangible effects) through legal means, but social niceties and good service are harder to legislate. Rebuilding capitalism into something far more human friendly will be one of the grand philosophical and economic challenges in the near future.
Well Done! Really appreciate you sharing your experience.
I don't see how that is any different if we're comparing it to the United States who is also capable of the same things but violently steals whatever they want.

It does, but the US median annual wage was $34,248.45 in 2021 (mean average was 54k but that's skewed by high income people). Spending $100 out of a monthly income of $2800 isn't unreasonable for a lot of people.
