Posts like these make me afraid of upgrading my macbook. Every time apple released a new macbook, I would wait to see how reliable it is, and eventually got discouraged when I see a lot of people complains about various issues. I ended up still using my 2012 macbook due to this, though with upgraded ram, ssd and battery replacement.

The M1 has significantly less people complaining about hardware issue, so maybe it's finally the time to upgrade as my 2012 no longer receive major macos updates anymore.
Korean companies do this all the time.
I learned about them after playing the game Firewatch on steam. I really really enjoyed that game.
Hard exercise, sunlight exposure, and consuming beets has also been shown to increase nitric oxide production.
These are all terrible from a UX perspective. What in the world were you doing that couldn’t be solved in a more user friendly fashion?
You're correct. The world's population has been talked into taking unapproved vaccines. "We follow the science" has been a lie for the past 18 months. (Two of the US vaccines had approval announcements only this week, well after half the population received them. Unreal.)

I thought HN readers (and dang) were more intelligent, but you can read any HN thead on corona and see the opposite is true.
Yeah, honestly if you're in SFBA/Seattle/NYC, this is not an unreasonable salary expectation for someone with a decade of experience. Especially if you're carefully selecting job opportunities that line up well with skill growth.
Wow, that's terrible.

I only know about LGs but they have a service remote that you can use to change the region. Maybe Samsung has a similar thing?
Some of them could use better names, though. "Medieval Sword", "Medieval Sword 2", "Medieval Sword 3" is kind of hilarious but c'mon, you could put a little marketing polish on that.

A couple also seem to be missing pictures.
Elon is the most insecure billionaire ever.

God I hope not. At least WhatsApp has end-to-end encryption.
A nice one is the "I Don't Care About Cookies" extension.
That's awesome! I had to kinda "force" Linux on my workplace at the time but it was really rewarding to get an efficient network/server setup going for them. I also ran it as my desktop there (though had to use Wine a bit ;)). Good times :)
At least Macbook Air M1 does not have a fan, so you would not need a fan replacement in any case.
The position that "theft is free, so anything not given away fails to compete" is not a realistic position to argue with.
The Bloomberg claims were explicitly denied by Apple and several other companies. To the best of my knowledge, Apple has never publicly denied the Reuters reporting, and explicitly declined to comment when given the chance by Reuters. It’s certainly one thing to extend the benefit of the doubt to a company in a dispute with a reputable news agency; it’s entirely another thing to take issue with the claim when even the affected company won’t do so.
That seems like a very very good idea.

I wouldn't do it unless I had a partner who is already a citizen , but I'll definitely keep this in mind.

How much is rent if I didn't want to deposit that much ?
Beautifully written, and this line really struck deep
"Your children are nothing more than the memories they spend with you."
The entirety of civilization is built on the idea of telling adults what they are allowed to do instead of letting people choose because given all factors because disinterested parties can see that the net result of user freedom would be bad for all involved. I cannot imagine why THIS is the line to be drawn when they benefit to doing so would be so paltry and the cost so clear. Most athletes in most sports aren't using steroids. Post legalization they all would or would be beaten out by someone who is.

> So it's not like officially authorizing the use of steroids and performance enhancing drugs in competitions would significantly change anything for the worst.

Citation needed. Note not a citation that there are many abusers historically but that right now steroid users aren't the minority.
As the article itself notes, previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16790338
Are there any decent open source alternatives out there we can contribute to?

A quick search revealed that there is Librem 5, a Linux based smart phone. I would love to hear more about it.

Potentially dumb suggestion: what if one just declares anything that has a significant chunk of non-bridge or non-tunnel street on it land? It's not a universal solution but perhaps sufficient for the application?
> ...I was dreaming I'm in the office half the time. I had a flipping server chasing me down the rail track a few times because it didn't like the transcoding settings.

That sounds like a full on PTSD! Hope you're feeling better since and the "bad chi" got purged from your internal storage, so to speak.
And the belts haven’t worn out? I believe it, but it’s pretty wild.
I’ll be curious to see how this project turns out in the long term. In the US, old growth forests previously had a tree distribution that is very different from young growth and newer managed forests. The pattern used to be less dense, with taller bigger trees whose shade kept the nearest tree was further away. This has benefits in terms of fire resistance, limited spread of pestilence, etc. The healthiest young forests are actually manually thinned to achieve a desirable density where each individual tree can thrive rather than get crowded in. Depending on the environment young growth may also need regular assistance to fight invasive species and weeds until the tree is established, since the ecosystem would be out of natural balance (lacking trees, shrubs, animals, insect populations, etc).
That's pretty cool. What kind of setup (wm, common applications etc.) do you use? I of course assume you use it as a desktop OS, as opposed to CLI-only ;)
1) All options expire. Liquidity timelines are such that expiration of some options predates a liquidity event. This is not unusual or the company trying to screw you over.

2) As an advisor, you should ask for early exercise 83(b) rights on your options at time of issue and avail yourself of that right immediately. (Don't forget to file the 83b timely with the IRS!!) You should also ask for full acceleration on change of control. I once helped a startup land some key hires and was 1/24 of the way through my advisor vesting when they were acquired and I didn't have an acceleration clause. Really beat myself up on that one.

Overall shareholders have a lot more rights and privileges than option holders. Exercising does take capital but it starts both the long term cap gains clock (1yr) as well as QSBS (5yr) if company valuation is <$50m (and if you're part of the first $1m in, if the company goes belly up you'll get to claim Section 1244 loss against ordinary income!). Shares don't expire - though yes of course they can get diluted or become worthless via giant reverse splits etc.
I thought it was well known that corruption is a bigger problem in developing nations which are likely to be considerably less capitalistic than first world nations?
Boxes?! Nice. I still have a handful of those old Ubuntu live CDs for a couple different architectures. Pretty cool lil piece of computing history now, I guess. Not sure I really "converted" anyone to use Linux, but it got a few people interested to be sure!
Seems like they should have funded their pensions appropriately when they offered them.
> It is popular to think that A/B testing leaves you in local maxima, but what about alternatives?

I mean, if corporate leadership isn't able to better direct the path of a product than the results of A/B tests, what value do they really have?
I doubt things would have been much different. It wasn't "mired" in legal issues, there was one lawsuit was brought against one company selling the code (not developers or users or hobbyists) in 1992, in '93 their injunction was denied and the case collapsed from there with a counter suit launched. It was all settled in 94.

The myth is that BSD development ceased or scaled right back, but that really wasn't the case. NetBSD's initial release was early 93, FreeBSD's initial release was late 93. Clearly they had been busy developing things leading up to it, and were confident enough to release entire new forks.

The lawsuit is a commonly cited reason, but I think that's more of a retroactive justification that's doesn't really come with solid evidence or reasoning.

https://web.archive.org/web/20190605151240/https:/www.softpa...

You read things like this and it's just handwaving without much actual evidence at best, and at worst grasping at straws, with the usual bitter sour-grapes lines like "One of the reasons that he was a real volunteer and has a demanding day job (as we can see later this was almost never true for Linus Torvalds)."

Linux was just 3 years old at the time the lawsuit was settled, a project from an undergrad, whereas BSDs had much longer commercial and serious academic heritage, the Berkeley Software Distribution that 386BSD came from had started 15 years earlier! Fact is Linux was starting from well behind at that point. Linux simply gathered more momentum, whether it was the technology, the people, the community, the GNU userland, I don't know but I'm pretty sure the lawsuit was a very minor part of it and what effect it did have would not have shifted overall trajectories or ultimate outcome.
> Because Clark County currently forbids the use of automated driving features in the Loop, human drivers could be part of the system for some time.

I’m not really in the loop on this, but what is the justification for not using automated driving features? When someone builds an automated monorail do they also use human drivers at first?
There are tons of reasons why a company wouldn't give up millions of dollars. if his percentage was say even just 3% that would be in the neighborhood of $90,000,000.

Now, if they do this, how many potential others may come back with similar claims.

Also, consider that every investor that made the choice to invest wasn't aware of this, and rightly so as the window had closed, That ends up a lot to unpack, and a lot of possible legal issues, and I'm sure that merger did not include that debt.

It just wouldn't be practical, and may not even be legal.
> in reality you 're worth the lowest amount of money people in your profession are willing to do your job for.

This violates basic economics. You are worth whatever an employer is willing to pay, not the lowest possible price. Your argument is the same as saying my house is worth the lowest amount for which somebody else would sell a somewhat similar house, which simply ain't so.
I live in British Columbia.

Like the other comments mentions too, I am not sure about how or if the restrictions should be imposed (although businesses should be allowed, if they wish, to require masks or whatever if they advertise it), but I am not a doctor and I don't know. (Maybe such ideas in other comments are right to remove them, but I don't know)

It is untrue that they have not removed any temporary restrictions; they have sometimes removed some, and sometimes just to add them back later. It is true they have not removed all restrictions, though; they do sometimes add restrictions that they don't remove (that is why you will need to make a petition).

I am annoyed by these changing requirements though (and other government requirements); it is not to say that I am not annoyed by it like anyone else is.

I worry if this requirement will backfire during before October 24, during the time where only one vaccine is needed, it might make it worse. Although, maybe not; we will see by the time. But if it does make it worse, will they get the wrong idea about it?
What was the duration for which you collected results? Was it 2 weeks or a month etc?
Which is funny to me because JRE is the reason we are rid of Milo. The JRE also didn’t do any favors for Candace Owens or Dave Rubin. I don’t see why they would memory hole those episodes but at least they’re on YouTube.
I’m overwhelmed by choice, and simultaneously, tired of making choices, so the solution is just to… do nothing.

One angle to burnout that I have thought about (but never seen others discuss) is what I'll call "personal narrative management." It goes like this:

For most of human history, people had fairly straightforward narratives that they could rely upon when going through life. You were born into a certain community, had a certain societal role, lived your life, then went to [afterlife.] The list of potential options was pretty narrow, and the list of potential futures was likewise constrained within humanly-conceivable limits.

In the modern era, however, this has mostly evaporated. Nation states are too large to have a single cohesive metaphysical narrative. Traditional religious structures are fracturing without much to replace them. The media continually creates and destroys potential pasts and futures, creating anxiety and never relieving it. This is easy to see if you read articles from a year or two ago; many take the form of "If X happens, Y will happen, and then [horrible thing] Z will happen." Yet X never happens, was likely never going to happen, and in fact was mostly just a narrative created to generate clicks for ad revenue. Yet we, the readers, have been thrown through a narrative loop.

One approach to dealing with burnout could thus be "managing your personal narrative." Remove the choices that really don't make sense to you. Stop reading news stories that are opinion or projection based and just stick to descriptions of events. Make a career path that is based on stuff you enjoy doing and not on the predominant narrative is for a certain profession.
> in particular, leaders would rotate into and out of the highest offices, and not hold more than one senior office at a time.

The rule was only on the paper. Prior to Jiang, all intermediary period leaders were forcefully removed from the office. Jiang almost managed to stay in power indefinitely, just like Xi. Hu was purposefully undermined, and politically eunuchised from the start by much stronger parties who ran the CPC behind his backs: namely the gang to whom Xi is the heir to the throne, and Jiang Zemin's one who also wanted to put their own man there. Were Hu having even a sliver of political power on the level of Jiang, or Xi, he would've tried to stay the third term too.

Really, there were really no rules in Chinese political system besides the survival of the fittest (or the most ruthless.)
I see your point, but movie posters didn't live in your home and didn't have the power of mass personalization.

An analogy might be junk food. Sure, it's advertised in all sorts of tempting ways in supermarkets, but imagine if your refrigerator suddenly gained the ability to show, prepare, and serve you customized/personalized junk food whenever you opened it.

Yeah, netflix saw this balkanization of streaming services coming and they started spending other people's money on original content so they couldn't have the ball taken away from them. It seems to be working for now - they've had 619 emmy nominations - but when there's 15 services that each have 1 show you want to watch, piracy will flourish
Seems like they figured it out several times.

They need to stop figuring it out, and just stick with something.
At least 3% of people have legitimate reasons that cannot be vaccinated. Things like COPD, HIV, etc. Fuck those people apparently.
I don't know if that will be unrealistic in the future. Once AI is making the content you consume, the price seems like it would rapidly approach zero.
i bet eventually they will be doing cross platform streaming rights deals, only one i can think off that might never do that is Disney. Your content can only be consumed so much on a closed platform before it losses its profitability and then you just sell its rights to bring extra profits.

otherwise i can't see how this will be sustainable this is going to be more expensive then tv channels were . Yes the content have much better production value but who will be able to afford so many stream services other then just people hopping after consuming what they wanted to watch.

maybe there will be a pay to watch service that has everything and you just pay for the right to watch the specific content.
> AntennaPod is equally amazing as a podcast client (I prefer it to overcast switching from the iPhone).

I tried installing this on an amazon fire tablet i have lying around. It seems nice but the variable speed and better processing of sped up audio on overcast is what makes me prefer it over other podcast players and the sped up audio on this player is awful.
This article says weightlifting can add skeletal muscle cells to make it hypertrophied. Wrong. Hypertrophy occurs by making existing muscle cells bigger. No skeletal muscle cells creation can exist, except in very few precise contexts.

Also, studies show that weightlifting actually fight or even prevent sarcopenia.
Same for steroids.

(sarcopenia = muscular distrophy)

Obviously the author just doesn't like sports........
Too bad theft is an option then, because the paid services must compete with it. There are more dimensions than price.

(Also infringement isn't theft but if you haven't been convinced by now...)

I'm well aware, and that's a good feature. I do think they should go one step further and give minors the option to report abusive messages (eg. sextortion).
Yes that makes a difference too but its also stuff like house prices and food which have no sales tax.
Well Paul saladino doesn’t do that. Try carnivore for 30 days and tell everyone how wrong I am
This is what happens when a businessman takes over a founder led company. Soulless and liars are the only the words which comes to my mind.
If I'm interpreting the list right, I think they agree with you about flatten. I think the strikeout is supposed to indicate that the struck portion would have made the list, but they took corrective action. I spelunked through the commit history and the struck portion was indeed unstruck originally, and then when the situation was resolved they crossed it out and added the description afterwards.
Yes and no. It depends on why they're doing it.

The military, for instance (and this is similar to what I've seen at some colleges), have housing for people at different grades. Dorms for younger enlisted troops, houses for families, and houses for specific ranks/positions like a base commander. There are a few reasons for this. One is historical (a lot of bases weren't near housing options), another is control (the dorms), another is community. By being on the same base with each other everyone is part of the same community. You can see a bit of disintegration (at least for USAF) with the decrease in state-side housing (or the use of it). They aren't around each other as much, their families aren't friends with each other in the same way as last century, they have no real sense of community (the troops may, but not the wider population of troops + family, this is also uneven, some subgroups haven't been impacted in the same way as others).

What I've seen at some colleges (more accurately, saw) was similar to the rank/position housing and also trying to help with creating a community at the college. The former can make a lot of sense, and is hardly dystopian. College president hosts a lot of events and gets a house suitable for it on the campus. With both them and other faculty members it keeps them on campus as part of the community, rather than turning college professor into a "job" (a thing you commute to and do your 9-5 and then go home from, again, see the disintegration of the military community in the US as an example of something you sometimes want to avoid).

Also, college campuses don't move very often. Since cities don't stop growing the housing around the campus can become very limited. Forcing people away, out into the suburbs. Whether you just want them to have easy access to the campus or want to try and create a real community, having campus housing can mitigate this issue.

It becomes dystopian when it's subpar housing, comes with pay cuts, or is mandatory (especially without at least a decent reason like: The president should live in the president's house).
I repair thede devices for a living. They all have the same funny issues.

For the people who want Google to be split up, it seems that it already is! You can look at this list of apps as a list of single startups that launched and failed. They’re all unrelated to each other; At most they share a “Login with Google” button and Google as a VC.

Edit: Oh, let’s not forget Google also bought Meebo and buried it right away. Good times.

> Why do people think that the universality of decay can be stopped?

Because information can be perfectly copied? If you replace the components as they wear out, you can still have a computer from the 1980's running fine. The OS and software still work exactly the same. Whatever data will still exist as a perfect copy.

(In fact, rumors are that George RR Martin does exactly that, and sends whatever he writes to his publisher on 3.5" floppies)
Personally although I do see “sexy” titles on Netflix strewn about, it isn’t a big distraction or problem the way this article makes it out to be. The real problem is that most of the content is B tier straight to video content. I’m drowning in choices and I don’t mean within Netflix but elsewhere - I’m simply not compelled to spend my valuable minutes there and these days I rarely load their app. I’ll probably end up cancelling it, as my household has increasingly returned to analog entertainment (books, conversations) over the pandemic, with other viewing time going to content we deliberately seek out rather than content we casually surf. At one point I was hopeful Netflix could produce first party content that was great. But each promising attempt (for example House of Cards, Marco Polo, or Altered Carbon) fizzles and gets cancelled after a season or two. Today I can’t see myself investing my time into their new content because I don’t want to be disappointed by their eventual cancellation, and I am left wondering who their service is for.
