Did you get extra warranty? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go5tLO6ipxw

TL;DW: they did a secret shopper laptop buying experience, the sales rep pushed the extra warranty hard, and included it (at cost) despite the buyer declining it.
I'm listing the things I've used over the last 9 years of developing SaaS platforms in Rails.

The beautiful thing about Elixir/OTP in general, is because you can approximate all those things that I listed above with OTP and core Elixir/Erlang libraries. You can't do that with rails, you need those other libraries/technologies/DSLs etc.

I think this first sentence is my favorite part of all of Neuromancer and my favorite opening sentence of any novel.

Neuromancer didn't seem so earth-shattering to me when I read it. Cool but not overly engaging, I guess. I was quite young when I read Neuromancer and I want to read it again though, to see if I can get more out of it.
> The loss of arts and social sciences would be a catastrophe for the academic world.

But we need poor people to operate the machinery. They shouldn't be allowed to dream, write poetry, or do anything that we consider frivolous. The frivolous things are for the privileged to do.

Sorry. My sarcasm couldn't be contained.

I agree that the moderation model sucks, but I disagree that the subreddit grabs are the problem. When the admins were more hands off, that allowed for people fork subreddits at their own discretion. If one sub didn't like your opinions, you're free to move on to another one. Reddit now is trying to achieve top-down Facebook-like structure with increasingly convoluted global rules and hostility towards any subreddits to are the tiniest bit offensive to their political agendas like r/waterniggas (the predecessor to r/hydrohomies).

I'm rather surprised that spez has come to the "defense" of vaccine skeptics after quarantining r/nonewnormal just last week. The cynic in me would say ad dollars are the reason and, when the money dries up, spez suddenly realized the "principles" about keeping the "wrong" people off. For the community's sake, of course.

The issue shouldn't be the noise spez's statements have generated over the past few weeks, it should the fact he can decimate any community as he wishes whether its by falsely altering content or going on a purge. But unfortunately, any time one brings up "freeze peach" on the platform, you're deemed a disingenuous Nazi.
Sometimes 'funding the change you want to see' is merely to appease your own conscience; some real problems are systemic or caused by other actors. Turning a 1 L/min sink off for the 20 seconds of washing your hands doesn't matter when the farmer down the road is growing row crops in a desert with center-pivot irrigation system.

But other times, like this? It's absolutely a valid approach. If a high-profile open laptop like this can succeed - which is helped at this scale by individual purchases - maybe some bigger players will take notice.
Don't need citizenship, and most long-term permanent residency type visas are fairly easy to get, at least for passport-holders from certain countries.
WSL2 can automount the Windows host in to the folder of your choosing. In my case its /mnt/c for the C:\. I often cross the filesystem boundary.

Going the other way, WSL exposes a SMB share so you can browse the Linux filesystem. This would be via //wsl$
Embedding a web view has a ton of tradeoffs. A good implementation of SDUI will support all the native platform features like accessibility, dark mode, localization. Not to mention the user experience is much more natural when the SDUI implementation is rendered using the same frameworks as the rest of the app.
Yeah, if we all used object instead of image tags then you could just download an extension that filled in avif or webp and we could move forwards.
It seems like it is you who haven't thought it through. There are tens of millions of Americans who are eligible but do not have state drivers licenses. There are tens of millions of Americans with no bank accounts. The underground cash economy is huge.
Step 1: Go buy personal information about people on the dark web
Step 2: Setup bank accounts in their names at neo-banks with weak KYC/AML policies
Step 3: Have money sent to these accounts where the actual named owner has no idea it exists and you hold a debit card to it.

The only recourse you have at that point is to shut down the accounts and hope they haven't drained it completely. And that's if everyone is willing to play ball, there are countless bureaucrats in this process that can slow or stop it because it's extra work and they feel like their job isn't on the line if they ignore the request.
> I suspect you would have been a lot more furious at the Fed in the event they had sat back during COVID and presided over a deflationary spiral triggered by the lockdowns.

No, what I'm saying is the government failed to act sufficiently and forced the fed to act when they shouldn't have(or at least to the level they have).

> Generally speaking, you shouldn't hold cash.

Now come on that's not really true in the short term. Generally speaking, you shouldn't put your money in the market if you need it in the next 5 years. Sure I could have bought CDs but have you looked at rates lately? That wouldn't have helped. My only option would have been to pile into an asset, and by the time I needed to park my money assets had already appreciated above historical norms. I'd be gambling against a reversion to the mean.

> Housing affordability hasn't really changed on a monthly basis

The market I am familiar with and was planning on going back into is up about 35% from late 2019. You're also then gambling that these historically high valuations will hold going forward. Homebuyer sentiment has plummeted because folks like me no longer think paying these high prices(https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CSUSHPINSA) makes sense.

Tuition waivers, grants and student loans artificially inflate college prices. For the first two years of college most classes could be canned video and proctored exams with the exception of labs. Most colleges should be consolidated down and any receiving government money should have creative commons text books. We are overpaying for education. This isn't an attempt to lower teacher salaries, that is another topic. We need fewer general education class teachers and more field specific teachers.

I was listening to some podcast episode from the author Patrick Wyman. He was doing an interview with Mike Duncan(?) in a very casual way.

I really latched onto a point about Martin Luther - that his personality traits directly affected the course of events toward the Reformation as we know it.

History is probably a lot more chaotic than we give it credit for. Whenever an upheaval happens and the world gets turned upside down, we can always go back and trace structural trends in that direction. This fails to capture how many transformations failed to happen.

Printing was getting more affordable, but the printers themselves couldn't stop going out of business. The technology arc of lowering costs, but that doesn't map directly to profits and they just kept going bankrupt.

I'm really fascinated by the role of pamphlets. We keep talking about the press in the context of books, but Luther's legacy wasn't in publishing full-length books. This has come up again and again through history. In the 1600s, pamphlets played a role in the English revolution, and it did in the French Revolution as a whole universe of revolution presses sprung up. Were these like newspapers? Or was it some shorter and more targeted form of political hit piece?

Luther came out dropping rhetorical bombs. I get how reading stuff can radicalize you. I've felt that energy in my own life, but overwhelming volume of media we get combined with our longer life spans does some intellectual inoculation. I can only imagine the anger that could be stoked with the written word at that time. It's not a forgone conclusion, because most people are garbage at writing convincingly.
No, neither would I. I was agreeing with the commenter you replied to, that I'd expect a plastic laptop to crack, and a metal one to dent. If it has to be damaged, I'd prefer the dent.

You said above that that was more to do with 'top finish' than 'material'; that's what I was responding to - how would you finish crackable plastic material to make it dent like aluminium/alloy instead.
How do you get rid of your comment data? Is there any script that can clean out your information?

> why not set up and support trade schools instead?

If you do that, you severely limit social/economical mobility. Is that what you want?
This is a laptop supposed to be for power users, but why does it have such a horrible keyboard layout?

I mean cursors are probably the most used keys and they are tiny and you don't have dedicated keys for PgUp / PgDown, Home, End.

I have money ready for a laptop, but still can't find anything on the market :/

Second deal breaker is Intel. I don't want to reward this company for doing basically nothing for 5 or so years and essentially releasing the same products under different names.
To be fair, these were very much entry level classes unrelated to my major. I wasn't testing out of linear algebra or something.

> In fact, if you can lock in a 2.xx% mortgage in a 2-5% inflationary environment then it is in real dollar terms a zero-interest loan. Before factoring in tax deductions.

This is a factor worth considering for anyone who is currently looking to buy a home. As long as you can afford the downpayment, you could lock in a fixed-rate mortgage while your earnings or other savings could grow at a higher rate. This is analogous to what some companies have done in recent years, loading up on low interest debt.
> The immigration problem is only related to the ID problem for those who have an agenda. They are separate issues.

They are exactly the same issue.

National ID only works if everyone inside the border has it -- regardless of how they managed to get there initially -- be that a person who due to whatever the weird way cannot get an ID as their records are messed up ( hello rural Appalachia ) or someone who is here illegally. After that t0 day the borders control and immigration control get teeth and anyone who does not have a National ID gets removed from the country.

Otherwise you have just created two different classes of people with a near impenetrable barrier between them

oh there is no doubt that everyone will be pissed off at the US for defaulting on the dollar since debts are denominated in it. But honestly, TINA. Due to demographics (we had milennials) the US is one of a few robust, rich, markets where you can sell your sh*t, so people will still want to trade with americans, regardless of what the government does. Finally, the US is not as dependent on foreign trade as you think. It has the lowest GDP:trade ratio of any country in G20 (worldwide it is in the very bottom: less than cuba and more than pakistan, and only above nigeria, afghanistan, ethiopia, and sudan). The US is even a net food and energy exporter, so it could probably survive a lowered trade volume. Everyone else would "be rekt", though. It would really suck for ecuador.

> See Argentina!

Perfect example. The country defaulted and it's honestly not a terrible place to be, considering what it's been through. Not everything is an exact parallel, but compare it to Brazil, where the country inflated instead of defaulted.
One can argue that Dr. Jim Simons is the best curator of talent. Look at Quanta Magazine or Renaissance Technologies. Both places have exceptional people, and constantly produce good results. Rentech has beat the market for the past 30 years. Quanta Magazine has published many good articles that has been on HN's front page and have mentioned in Wired Magazine etc.
Hyperview is an open source tool by InstaWork that leverages the hypermedia model for mobile development:

https://hyperview.org/

They created it after seeing how effective the intercoolerjs/htmx approach was for their web application.

Hypermedia is a neat approach to building applications. We should look into it more.
I would also ask for a better keyboard. The one currently offered (at least with the model I am interested in), is not fit for purpose when it comes to development.
True, I wonder if that narrows the scale of potential fraud and makes it easier to investigate though. Smaller # of fraudulent schools vs. # of fraudulent students
