In the rare instances I've used them, i felt like they did the easy parts that I would have been fine doing, and didnt solve the actual problems I had - lack of familiarity with where I was going, flight options, etc.

I find this with lots of services. The help they provide is superficial and basically covers the easiest or most mechanical part of the task. But the actual intellectual part, they want to leave up to you. I'd much rather get my hand held on the decision making part, then filling out the form or whatever that may be annoying but is not particularly hard, even if it's the first time.

Ironically, in my business, I find it challenging to get people to trust you to give advice, they would rather come with a pre-determined, usually wrong, plan, and try to get me to implement it and take responsibility for the outcome. Which is maybe why services end up being more superficial, because people would rather tell someone else what to do than defer to expertise
> If we can make a college degree only cost what it actually costs and not pay for all the cruft why does the government have to start paying it? You've solved the problem at that point.

Only a single payer system has the leverage to force the universities to decouple their cruft from their core educational expenses. And you're right! College tuition would probably be near-negligible if the cruft was removed, but my take at that point is why not just make it free, then?

The irony is we essentially already have this single payer system. Every college and university is dependent on federal financing for tuition. The federal government simply needs to use the power it already possesses. It's a lot like the federal government's refusal to negotiate drug prices, a wasted opportunity.
Fraud detection as a service for governments would seem to be a possible growth industry. While I understand that fraud numbers are not 'material' relative to the overall budgets here, I would expect it would be an "easy win" for politicians to help reduce the fraudulent use of taxpayer dollars. It seems to be Katie Porter's entire platform and it works well.
What business model would you suggest, that is capable of financing the TV and films we like to watch?

I'm not aware of anything that works in practice, except for legally enforced copyright for at least a handful of years. And enforcing copyright means making torrenting etc. of infringing material illegal.

(Of course, whether it should be 5 or 10 or 20 or 50 or 100 years is a separate matter.)

And copying the music streaming business, where convenience is worth a low monthly subscription, doesn't work for TV/film. Producing a TV show is multiple orders of magnitude more expensive than an album.

I like to challenge the stereotype with "Live slow, die whenever."
"From my research the cheaper Tplink and Netgear don't have an isolated management interface, meaning it can be accessed from all vlans."

For Netgear you want a T eg GS724T(P) in the model which implies smart switch (web managed). They do have command line managed ones too ie "managed switch".

For home use, decent L1 and 2 is enough - you don't want to do L3 switching in general, unless your house is at the top of the Mall. So, GS724TPv2 and GS110TPv3 get you a 24 or 8 port PoE+ switch with L1 and L2 covered in a web interface with VLANs etc. The newer interface with the PVID section that shows tags and ports n LAGs at a glance is one of the best, regardless of price or status. For the money those switches are quite hard to beat.
Will do! A perfect use case for the spare expansion 250gb card I have. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm not trying to be insulting, but none of what you wrote is realistic.

There's no such thing as putting a promise of a quick-promotion into writing. No company would agree to that, nor should they (what if you suck once you start?). And I'm highly skeptical a company will agree to a milestones-rewards plan for an individual employee.

If someone wrote such a proposal and sent it to me, I'd immediately reject them in the hiring pipeline. And I consider myself to be a very employee-friendly hiring manager.
That's because Edison vs. Tesla was really mostly theoretical with some funds for engineering (and marketing). The space race is really mostly engineering which requires lots of money.

Companies don't actually have standards. They have a list of expectations that are completely subjective. Sometimes the only thing that changes is the person rating you, yet your rating changes drastically. There have been a few times over my relatively short career that I know company/HR policies were violated.

It takes a toll.
People have long said being a great programmer isn't important in business, but it really is. I don't want to work somewhere where being a great programmer is less important than being a politician. Being a politician in my view is a lot different than having soft skills. Unfortunately, most companies advertise they want great programmers and reward them, but that's mostly a lie.
It’s very easy to not be convicted under the law when you cut a deal with one court where no other court can even attempt to convict you.
I think you would still at least have a shot in hell since that physical id is in-hand. Maybe it could be flagged as revoked but the cops would have alternative ways of checking it out or at the least visually inspecting it and deciding you are at least who you say you are on the ID. This versus your soft-id just disappearing.
They do not have the same semantics.

JSON has a data model based on the lowest-common-denominator data structures available in programming languages, i.e. lists and dictionaries.

HTML/XML has a radically different data model that's based on documents that are filled with content with intermixed markup/metadata.

As a result, representing pure data is awkward in XML but straightforward in JSON, and likewise representing a document of mixed content is very very awkward in JSON but quite straightforward (and easily extensible) when represented as XML.

It's one of those "use the right tool for the job at hand" kind of things.
I also have a 2018 MBP and I agree the Framework keyboard is a HUGE improvement over the 2018 MBP keyboard.
> U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said: “As alleged, George Bridi was a member of an international video piracy ring that circumvented copyright protections on nearly every movie released by major production studios, as well as television shows, and distributed them worldwide on the Internet. Thanks to the assistance of our law enforcement partners, the piracy ring has been busted and Bridi is now in U.S. custody.”

Sounds like more than 3.
During every RCA for an incident caused by me, I go through immense guilt & sadness. Makes me feel how can I make this silly mistake when I expect higher bar for everyone else around me.
My experience is that, for typical travel, the typical mass market travel agent is going to do very little to optimize other than showing you the same flights you'd get on an airline website or hotels you'd pull up on Expedia/bookings.com. Airline travel can sometimes get complicated but, in my experience traveling to a bunch of different countries, it's fairly rare that the standard travel systems break down. (And I'm not actually sure that a travel agent would get me better fares under those circumstances.)
I'd like easier to buy or rent DVD's. The DRM in it has been broken for so long that it is basically DRM-free and the quality is good enough for most of mine entertainment purposes. I fear streaming services will make buying DVD's harder.

Are Blue-Ray as easily watchable as DVD's these days?
Rust also can't overload operator&& and lacks the "macro pre-processor" that was already a bad idea in the 1970s. Absence of specific footguns is not something people will mourn.

To the extent that you should have exceptions in your software, Rust's panic picks that slack up pretty well, and to the extent you should have error handling C++ exceptions were a bad idea and sum types like Result are much better.

Note that although Rust's types don't have inheritance the traits they can implement do. Which is much more likely to be something you actually wanted than say, C++ multiple inheritance.

The US wants to have moral authority with scummy authoritarian governments throughout the world and then acts like a scummy authoritarian government. Do you want thriving dictatorships? This is how you get thriving dictatorships.
Nope! That's a fever dream.
If I had a direct report who asked me this for all the work I ask them to do, I'll have to tell them:

"All the work you do, every bit of it, plays into your promotion. I ask you to do something because it's important to the company and to us all as a team, not because it's going to specifically help you get promoted. If you deliver strong results, I will be the first to champion your promotion. But if all you care about is promotion, maybe you should start looking elsewhere."

I mean, it's perfectly fine (and expected) that I should be discussing with my direct reports how their work helps them on path to promotion. But it's not acceptable for that discussion to be a blocking question for every work item.
I can't help but feel like we are moving from sovereign governments having authority over territorial jurisdictions to sovereign governments having authority over specific interactions between specific parties across the globe. The US government doesn't just have authority over US territory, it has authority over any disputes between anyone and US persons or entities. The same seems to be happening across the EU and southeast Asia. It paints a grim picture.
Caltech courses often didn't have a textbook at all, or the "textbook" was merely ancillary. The profs would go their own way.
I was equally confused (read the headline, asked "how is that different from RocksDB?", and then read the explanation that it was based on RocksDB), but it sounds like this is actually an alternative to Redis, not RocksDB. So the difference is that it's exposed over a network, rather than embedded locally.

>Around the same time, from approximately 2008 to 2018, at the Named Sacklers’
request, billions of dollars were transferred out of Purdue as cash distributions of profits and
transfers of assets into Sackler family holding companies and trusts. Certain of these
distributions and transfers were made with the intent to hinder future creditors and/or were
otherwise voidable as fraudulent transfers.

Edit: Just going through this document makes me wonder how people can carry water for these demons

>The same day, David Sackler replied-all by email:
[W]hat do you think is going on in all of these courtrooms right now?
We’re rich? For how long? Until which suits get through to the family?

>In or about April 2008, Richard Sackler wrote a memorandum to Kathe Sackler,
Ilene Sackler, David Sackler, Jonathan Sackler, and Mortimer D. A. Sackler in which he
discussed limiting the Sackler family’s risk in the ownership of Purdue: “[T]he most certain way
for the owners to diversify their risk is to distribute more free cash flow so they can purchase
diversifying assets.”

These aren't people acting in ignorance, this is family essentially running a legalized drug cartel and has today just protected all their assets. I'm sure the negative externalities of these individuals will cause damage for decades to come in America's heartland.
Here is an article from a paper local to me.

https://shelterislandreporter.timesreview.com/2016/12/14/she...

“… The segment was shot in July and it documents Ms. Larsen traversing the Island with her friend and realtor Roxanne Briggs as they tour three Shelter Island homes on the market in the $650,000 to $850,000 range.

Spoiler alert: Ms. Larsen actually bought her Longview home back in 2015, a full year before the show was taped, so the outcome was a foregone conclusion by the time the “Island Life” crew came to town…”
Anyone have an opinion on the feel of the keyboard and touchpad, as well as the quality (color gamut, brightness, etc.) of the screen?

I'm strongly considering getting one of these, but it's hard to take the leap to a newcomer manufacturer where I can't try before I buy.

Also, any idea why the i7-1185G7 is a full $400 more than the 1165G7? Comparison[0] shows no major differences I can see, just some slight clock bumps, and the fact that it's vPro capable (I guess maybe that's it?).

Read: Becoming Lucid (free digital copy)
In an effort to gain reader reviews I’ve put my popular book, "Becoming Lucid, Self-awareness in Sleeping & Waking Life," on Netgalley.com for the next month. Netgalley makes free digital copies available in exchange for a review. Download a copy here:

https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/book/234488

They’ll ask you to create an account before you can download an electronic copy of the book. You don’t pay anything.
-----------
"Becoming Lucid" is the first book to approach lucid dreaming through hypnosis. Each chapter's trance induction, accessed online as an MP3 audio file, induces an altered state. Listen to these inductions while falling asleep and they will become your lucid dream environment. They will open the new reality.

Yes, PGP is dead but not because of any of the reasons this article points out.

It's dead for a very simple reason: it's really hard to find active PGP/GPG keyservers.

Fedora keyserver? Dead

Debian keyserver? Dead

openSUSE keyserver? Dead

SKS keyserver pool? Dead

keys.gnupg.net? Dead

keys.openpgp.org? Half-dead (HKPS access not working, it seems only web is working)
etc

Very few keyservers are still online and some of then don't sync with the others (e. g. keyserver.pgp.com).
I have no issue with projects like meson using FindFoo.cmake packages in principle. The problem with CMake is that most such packages aren’t implemented via just an export, as in https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/guide/importing-exportin...

Such packages and exports are really just simple config files that I think can be safely treated as declarative — they become a perhaps uglier, but portable alternative to pkg-config. As such, having meson read them would be a smart move, and would be quite simple.

Unfortunately, CMake doesn’t have a culture of creating/installing/using exports IME, and so you end up with enormous, complicated Find packages that do fancy bespoke dynamic search logic. THAT isn’t something I’d like a project like meson to lean on, but only because the goal should be to remove the need for such things, not depend on them further. CMake doesn’t help matters by making exports fiddly.
If it's the same agreement John Oliver talked about last week, they have 10 years to pay the $4.3 billion, so they'll almost earn it all back in that period in interest.

Sure, it's "limited" liability, not "no" liability. And criminal actions remove even the limited part.

But it isn't clear to me that the owners having criminal liability was the basis the bankruptcy court was operating under ... though it is clear both side thought it was the way things _could_ go, so they preempted that state.

It's the website operator who chooses the severity of the Cloudflare interstitial page. I don't recall the default value off the top of my head but I think the captcha page had to be explicitly enabled, and the confidence level could be adjusted by the operator.

Should it be impossible to make a living writing books or recording music or movies? Because that's what it amounts to. Imagine writing a book, selling a copy for $10 to the first reader, and then the rest of the readers get it for free. Or printing a book and having a competing publisher type it up and sell it, taking all the profit.

Show HN: a practical Lisp in C
"assuming one is fortunate enough to have enough income to even have savings"

This cannot be overstated enough. In the USA a myth has developed about "personal responsibility" in which people have a choice, they can save for retirement or they can spend their money on other things; we tend to forget that for roughly half the country there is no such choice because just paying for basic living expenses (food, shelter, clothing, and transportation to a job) will leave nothing to save. People bought the myth and allowed defined-benefit pension plans to be replaced by IRAs and 401k plans.

"Which cause the rich to get richer, and the poor get poorer."

The rich should get richer if they are compounding their investment returns over time. The problem is that for more than 40 years America has been in the grip of politicians who have attacked government programs of all kinds, insisting that we cannot afford to pay for anything that benefits the poor while also insisting that we have to cut taxes on the rich (naturally, the tax cuts also benefit those very politicians). The fact that the poor cannot invest (for lack of capital) is not the reason they are getting poorer; they are getting poorer because for decades we have reduced the scale and scope of government programs that benefit the poor (or that benefit everyone equally).
I passed up a down-leveling opportunity with a "sure thing" FAANG several years before it went public, because I was insulted at the reduction in my team size/scope (and I knew a bunch of people getting hired in as Directors). That ego cost me... $20 million, maybe more?

There's a lesson there somewhere.
