I use this all the time and it's wonderful! It's not underused here.

A LOT of the time a webpage will be completely broken / filled with ads / javascript / and other useless garbage. One click and I'm in reader mode, and all that junk is gone and I just have nice clean text, and perhaps a couple of images. Makes me wonder if I can set reader mode automatically for certain pages.
They could just close the comments for violent content that should be seen and let the still valuable testimony sink in a respectful silence.
same here - it will default to a good size font and high contrast dark mode. i've found myself using it... a lot over the last few months. i picked up a new 12 mini, and as I was developing new habits, this became one of them. if something is more than one screen of text, i reach for reader mode.
Well, maybe they realized that sexually explicit stuff is their only reason to exist.

Otherwise I can't see why people wouldn't flock to, say, Patreon.
Why did you pick Discord over Slack or Teams? I'd be driven crazy if there wasn't any SSO or fancy admin features, but then again I'm a nerd who cares about things like that (and also why I really want Discord for Enterprise to happen). Is it just because it's easier to use?
While your "state" might not be perfect, are you truly "enslaved"? I mean, there are alternatives, but they aren't better:

Investors are the final customer in a bubble. Uber and WeWork were never going to be profitable. The game was to convince investors they could be. In a bubble, it feels like anything is possible and silly things like math just weigh you down.
As a very happy Zynthian user: YES TO THIS!

I will get a Turing Pi ASAP to play with just this.

It should be noted however that even the bare bones Zynthian system is capable of doing a LOT of voices. Plus, you don't have to go with the original Zynthian hardware - I have a small stack of devices from Audiophonics (I-SABRE RaspTouch - [1]) that all run ZynthianOS perfectly well, and it is a very nice and easy way to add polyphony/DSP power to the setup.

EDIT: to note, this is just a perfect example of how open source projects inspire innovation - the ZynthianOS is free and amazing, and the Zynthian project itself has its own hardware designed for the purpose - but it can run on other peoples Pi-based hardware as well, and there is such a wide plethora of audiophile devices out there to pick and choose from. Having the TuringPi architecture available, I can imagine its only a matter of a few months before we see exactly the system - multi-core/expander-type synth modules - appear on the market, making ZynthianOS even more powerful ..

You do see that this is specifically an issue with the credit services threatening to refuse the processing of payments and not simply withholding credit. These are two different banking services, and you can support neutral payment processing without supporting neutral (forced in your vocabulary) lending. The reasons that the banks are as regulated as they are everywhere is because of the huge amounts of power that they have by controlling the flow of money. If you deregulated banks you would end up with one bank that controlled the world.
Lot of PostgreSQL but not a single commenter uses PostgREST.

Curious if it's just because the tool isn't well known enough or if it's because it has some serious drawbacks? Or people don't like writing SQL?
> Besides, rights are rights whether they are enforced or not.

Then there is no reason to discuss rights at all since might makes right.
First, they are "plowing and blowing", not shoveling (or not shoveling much) - if you have a significant amount of snow, shoveling is just impractical as well as back-breaking. Second, even if you don't get snow overnight, you get the drifting they mention, which is where winds blow snow onto the nice clean driveway you had cleared previously. Drifting can be quite significant with lots of snow and big open areas!

Lastly, not the OP, but winter is my favorite season for the most part, and I love being around lots of snow!
That was fast. I wonder what changed with their banking partners.

No one else would be given such a charitable viewpoint. Especially since it was a freaking radio that set off the kill process.
Pizza prices don't seem to track the same trend. An extra large is generally just a dollar or two more than a large, etc. I guess this is because dough and sauce are cheap so the cost impact is negligible from a manufacturing standpoint, so those few extra dollars are essentially pure profit.
> Does anyone remember Tumblr? No?

Yes? I check my Tumblr timeline pretty much every day - there's a lot of content there (and I only follow a handful of people.) Anyone suggesting Tumblr is dead is mistaken.

(And yeah, the daily posts are way down but that's after 8 years of neglect and mishandling. Any social network would suffer the same!)

Did you consider the possibility that both of those statements could be sincere at the time they are made?

"This work is good enough for me for now, but in the future it might not be anymore, in which case I'll want to take it into my own hands to find something new. But since for the moment I like the work, I'm not necessarily thinking about that possibility in the future."

IMO, it's the manager's responsibility to advocate on behalf of the employee, especially if they want to retain them.

There's also the matter that a raise doesn't need a promotion. Don't promote people upwards unless they are willing and already working at this level. Give them a simple raise instead.
I’ve updated the comment with an investigation by the BBC.
Where is he apologizing for anything? He's pointing out that "look at atrocity X" where X is fabricated or at least not what it's purported to be is a propaganda technique as old as time.

Thank you for the helpful feedback and for reading twice to understand our format.
"1 in 8 Americans is functionally illiterate. Like any skill, reading is a habit. If you grew up in a household where you did not see your parents reading, you likely do not develop the habit.This correlates to the socio-economic divide. Two thirds of American students who lack reading skills by the end of fourth grade will rely on welfare as adults."

All of this was so very striking to read. Causation =/= Correlation aside, I'm so glad some tech startups are taking on such foundational societal issues in a way that makes them a profit. I'm really hoping school boards play ball, and play ball fast.
Perhaps if more counties required corps to house their citizens’ data locally, they would be better served.

In this case, I think the friendly way to interpret that comment is as an attempt to anticipate and pre-empt a very common and harmful misconception about sex workers.

This very good practice and I am pleased that the one time I got the dreaded message from GitHub and AWS, that I'd done the unthinkable (on a public repo), the keys were only for accessing a single junk dev S3 bucket - phew!

But no amount of layering makes the problem go away. Sometimes god-like keys are unavoidable. Those needed by Terraform etc are an example that comes to mind.
The option of not just setting a fixed colour for certain features (like a building), but supplying a palette of colours for the renderer to randomly use is interesting. It makes the output playful. I don't think I've seen that feature before in OpenStreetMap renderers.
Everyone revealing where they're at exactly (cash + bonus + stock + extra perks/PTO/whatever), while potentially a little uncomfortable in the beginning, is better for everyone long-term. I used to be against it, if only because I was typically at the top of the pay band for my role so had little to "gain" from the practice, but I've come around the last couple years. There's really very little downside, even if you're a top performer.

1. People who are legitimately being taken advantage of can more quickly realize it and either work to correct it or leave.

2. Top earners should be able to justify their outsized compensation to others, including peers.

3. Some people just legitimately don't know you can negotiate things like non-discretionary bonuses, extra PTO, etc.

4. Maybe your company pays everyone below-market, not just you, and at least knowing this will make it easier to decide if it's worth the lower pay (for QOL/WLB or whatever) or if you want to leave.

Ya, you’d suspect one is selling porn and one isn’t, at least that’s what I would have done.
Absolutely, and that has always been the case, even in vocations. There was a time where being a tv or vacuum repairman was a pretty good, middle class-ish job. Then the times came where that's not really the case. Picking a career path does have a little bit of luck in it, but that's like thinking it's lucky to not hit a door when going through a doorway. If you stop, think and open the door, you're less likely to get hit by a door, even though that doesn't guarantee it.

And yes, this is coming from a guy who has been smacked in the face by someone else opening the door on me. Same with picking a poor career choice pre housing crash in 2008. Adapt and overcome.
Not who you asked but I was working full-time and started full-time community college night classes. Monday from 6am to Friday 3pm I was 100% dedicated to work and study, I would get maybe 5 hours of sleep a night and crash when I got home Friday.

The friend group I hung with treated me like an outcast and out of about 6 only one is still friends with me some decade later. I also had to pick and choose family get togethers and some of the last years of my parents life.

I did it because I saw their health ailing and I wanted to be able to fully support myself and my brother by being more than a minimum wage retail worker, it just sucks that that coincided with them all ailing so rapidly and eventually passing by the time I was a senior in college.
This is the most jq-ish reply xD
Interesting links! Spacing and layout are obviously more dimensions that can be optimized.

The blades in the original article are 118m long so they would have a diameter of 236m, and according to your first link the "usual" spacing is 7x the diameter so they'd need to be at least 1.6km apart?
Highly recommend Instant View on Telegram: https://instantview.telegram.org/

You can make your site and pages compatible with Instant View, also there are bots which can export pages to Telegra.ph which are also Instant View compatible.
That's basically shooting at a moving target, though.
Thanks, I guess I was wrong on that count. It makes sense.

The first part continues to baffle me. If I have a proven profit of $X/year and I have the market captured (speaking on the order of 10% or 50%, doesn't matter), how does it make sense to seek investment in the order of 100*X? What's the goal? Why not just keep milking the proven cash cow and stop growing and risking?
Just curious what you would say those fields are.

Off the top of my head CS is steadily looking like one of the only degrees worth anything and I’d still argue the value of that given the prevalence of self taught developers. Decent starting salaries for the most part, and very good starting salaries if you’re particularly good at certain things and an otherwise unheard of ceiling. Though I’m generalizing at the moment, I feel the industry is more complex than that.

Nursing seems ok. Salaries appear good at first, but the nurses I know also work ungodly hours.

Some traditional engineering fields seem ok in terms of employability, but wages don’t seem that great and many of the roles I’ve seen in those fields want a MS/MEng.

I mostly agree with analysis.

I am not sure I agree with 'suddently' characterization. They are not suddenly OK with it. Founder complained to their peer at the financial institution. Onlyfans was probably trying to take care of it internally for a good while ( CYA applies at most financial institutions so it was taking longer than most businesses are used to ). It was only after media outburst that an executive decision was made.

I am relatively certain that behind the scenes, the case of Onlyfans was argued by compliance, legal, PR, sales and their personal rep.

"It's really surprising OnlyFans got as far as it did with adult content."

I am not. You are not allowed to touch lgbtq+ community now. They are way too vocal and companies too scared to agitate them. And a fair amount of complaints came from them.
I suspect you’re being downvoted because it isn’t a very well formulated negative. The problem is indeed scale, but there not being a battery setup in the world that could singlehandedly fix the issue isn’t the problem. You can have a lot of smaller battery setups if the batteries are cost efficient enough and you have a suitably flexible grid.

The actual issues are the cost efficiency of batteries, the amount of batteries that can be produced in total, and the flexibility of the power grid. Flexibility of the power grid is a known solvable problem, although how much it will cost to improve our infrastructure there is an important question. The point you were responding to was presumably arguing that $100kw/h batteries exist, and that that’s cost efficient enough. The questions are A) Is it true batteries at that cost exist, B) Is that actually cost efficient enough, and C) Can we produce enough of them to deal with the scale of batteries needed. Your post didn’t really argue against any of those points, just stated vacuously that current setups aren’t sufficient. Obviously current setups aren’t sufficient, the question is if we are approaching the cost point where they could be.

It's not a worthy goal, because that's not how it's ever going to be fielded. The West has always used its tech to attack entities with far less resources and far less ability to strike back. So the end result is that we use tech to kill more people "because the computer said so". The kids in this article were killed over a radio, not something that is uncommon in Afghanistan and would probably culminate in whole villages being wiped out.
As much as I love to check hackernews, I’m not normally able to chime in with relevant information on most topics. I feel like this may be one where I can actually do that though as I’m former military and my job directly related to drones on a daily basis. Depending on what’s asked, I may not be able to answer but I’d love to help by sharing any knowledge or information on the subject that I can as I’ve gained so much from others sharing on different topics on here. Ask away and I’ll check back in 15-20 minutes.

Editing to add on that I’ll continue to check back on this for at least the rest of the day in case there’s anything else I can potentially shed more of a light on.
That's a bit like saying "your car has 5 gears but you can only use the first one". In practice you have 1 gear.
> Consequences don't have to run through the criminal justice system. If some people are assaulted, they are allowed to defend themselves. The damage done to assailants in the process is tax-free.

But how about those who don't exist in this wild west cowboy world of duels at noon for honor? How do children defend themselves? How do the weak and infirm? Because they are incapable of enforcing their own rights they lose them? How do you stop mob justice? These don't sound like rights at all if you need to personally fight to ensure that you can keep them.
Sorry, but that doesn't translate into employability in 2021.

I have mentored math and physics students for six years now and even the good ones are having an increasingly hard time finding employment, and not for lack of trying. It's not uncommon to hear of seniors sending, say, 100 applications only to get ghosted on 99 of them.
Does anyone get anything out of mind-map visualizations? Everybody loves to show a screencap of their latest diagram, with all the circles and colorful connector lines, but do they ever actually help anyone realize anything?

In my experience, this sort of visualization is good for mapping out an actual complex, sequential/staged process (and for that, one would instead use actual dedicated diagram maker apps). But other than that, it seems to be mostly for note-taking app makers to show off to show how cool their app is.
Well, not just elites. This is the policy everyone voted for: less taxes (causing young folks to go heavily into debt for worthless degree credentials), less social safety nets, a generational wealth transfer from the young to the old.

The results are exactly what you’d expect, and older generations should absolutely be worried when their cohort has shrunk through death to a minority voting bloc.
You're correct, I was not aware of this. You've invalidated my argument and I stand corrected.

It’s fucked up is what it is.

Right now my coworkers like me, my manager gave me a glowing review, the company is willing to buy me certs and I have been assigned to the subteam responsible for our core functionality.

8 months ago I was self-harming and ready to off myself because of endlessly firing applications into the void and reaching the end of my finances.

I can clearly perform under the stress of work, school, achievement, things breaking but the way the labour market is structured almost broke me which has to tell you something.
During those two decades the country was operating under a western puppet government. The fact that the Taliban swept in so quickly with no resistance means that they were always there to begin with.
If they're honest (including with themselves), it's as easy as saying something along the lines of "I'm happy with my role, my responsibilities, and what I'm learning every day, but I'm not content with my salary."

Sometimes the answer is just to give them a raise. Sometimes it's "you're already at the top of your pay band, sorry."
The problem with college is the cost, not the degrees people choose to pursue. And blaming students for studying things that aren’t in demand is a straw man.

A lot can change in the four years between enrollment and graduation. For example, I went to college in 2006 when the finance sector was booming. I graduated in 2010 when it very much wasn’t. By the time the jobs had evaporated it was much too late to change my course of study. And I certainly couldn’t go back and renegotiate the tuition or interest rate on my loans.

I’m sure the same could be said about people who went to school for anything relating to tourism or hospitality who have graduated into the pandemic. If you’re a new chef, pilot, hair dresser, massage therapist, looking to work in hotel management, etc. the job market that existed when you began your studies is entirely different from the job market you’ve just graduated into.
