Wow, very polished! The UX looks and feels great. The 3D sticker effect is really cool and fun. The first time hints are effective and it’s really easy and quick to start making real stickers. Kudos!

A few bits of feedback:
- after zooming in photo mode, I naturally tried to pan to get my object in view, but that quickly created a path and then immediately went into the save screen, which was jarring. I know it tells you to try but panning and zooming is just second nature. Maybe show a message if the path drawing time is very short?

- tracing a photo is harder than the demo makes it look! The zoom view is very helpful here but it is still a very painstaking process, and if you mess up, you have to start over. I was hoping that it would use my path as a start and automatically refine it but nope.

- if the photo path starts in the upper left, the zoom is blocked. Perhaps you can move it automatically if needed.

- took me a moment to figure out how to copy a sticker for use in Signal. I expected to be able to long press on the sticker and get a context menu, but that doesn’t work. You have to go to “options” which is not immediately obvious. Also, having to pick a image size is not something most users want to think about, they just want to copy and paste like text.

Why aren't house prices included in CPI?
Not comparable.
In the US, employers are legally permitted to mandate vaccinations. Countries can mandate them for border crossings (air, sea, and land). Mandate them. Those who opt out (without legitimate medical reason) are the ones who can face the costs of their choice, instead of society collectively carrying the burden.

Like Cato says, "embrace harm reduction."

Interesting project, good luck with it. I'm curious about you decision to include .edu addresses. Aren't those given out to students?

Also how are you planning to prevent it from becoming a cesspool of hate and misinformation like Facebook, Twitter etc?
"Money back guarantee >> free trial"

is there an explanation for this? I tend to favor free trial myself because the "money back" seems like a headache to go through if I'm not happy with the product.

I would have thought the same several years ago. At age 40+, 1080p on a laptop is still good. Even at 1080p, I have to go into accessibility settings to enlarge text. I'm pretty much out of the market for 4k screens on laptops these days. Also had to switch to a big phone and crank up the text size.
The US Dollar M1 money supply increased by 66.5% and M2 by 25.4% between Dec 2019 and Dec 2020 [0]. I'd give you more current data, but the Fed stopped reporting the overall changes and M2 in general in early 2021. The ostensible reasons for that depend on how tight your tinfoil hat is, but plenty of money is created by the Fed, and that number hit trillions in the last 18 months.

Like happened with the Doom port to desk phones, this is being discussed over on the BeWelcome forums!

https://bewelcome.org/forums/s23259/

BeWelcome is like CouchSurfing but free and open-source. I heard about the Fuggerei from Paul, a guy in Singapore, a few months ago, who I met at the Asia-Pacific weekly meetup (every Thursday, 23:00 NZDT = 6 pm Jakarta = 7 pm UTC+8).

https://bewelcome.org/activities/3343

It's so interesting to hear the same topics coming up. Although I'm not Catholic, and the idea of segregating housing based on religious views bothers me, I like the idea of investing in a community by sharing freely. The Fuggerei outlasted several political forms in Germany!

The 4 hours I spent learning the basics of d3 and then couple hours a night for a few weeks working through examples (of others and of my own design) really gave me a powerful new tool for charting applications. Rolling your own is difficult to justify, but "learn and use d3 (BSD licensed)" seems an entirely reasonable alternative to a high-priced commercial offering.
I think what both your replies are trying to point out is that

"X conceived, produced, and realized Y" where Y is something of innate value is a vastly more interesting, useful, and value-holding relation than "X gave approval to the creation of Y" where Y is something that is the mere result of a technical process that can be recreated easily by anyone.

The reason that the talented art counterfeiter doesn't bear that same relation is that they are not the person we have immense respect for the artistic talents of. True artists gain notoriety precisely by the fact that they first conceive of their works, because they are original. That is (in part, in addition to the inherent artistic value) what gives works by these artists such value. A counterfeiter only produces copies (by definition), not originals, and so what you are seeing is not the output of the strikingly creative mind that we cherish as human beings.

With an NFT you don't get any of that. The work has no inherent beauty (it's a piece of data), so the only thing that could give it value is the fact that its creation had the approval of creator X. But this fact is uninteresting precisely because there's no artistic value in the creation of meaningless interchangeable bits of technical data (there is no "conceiving" step to distinguish between original and counterfeit). At best it ought to have the value of an autograph, which most celebrities already give away for free.
Nope, make pay transparent. At least people can have a fair discussion with their managers why they don't get paid the median amount at their level.

So sick of companies promoting transparency in all engineering processes, but when it comes to pay it becomes this opaque thing that's also taboo to talk about.

the creators of this journal seem to have a more cynical definition of "controversial"

>controversial, in the sense that certain views about them might be regarded by many people as morally, socially, or ideologically objectionable or offensive

the seem to want to attract articles that are not mainstream because they are ethically and morally outrageous to most people (say bigotry, cruelty, eugenics, etc.)

the small amount of papers published so far seems to be mostly the former thankfully, I personally do not think ideas pertaining to the former should be given a platform exactly because of their content

Check the source, and try to verify it against any other information. I can't seem to find anything from a credible source to verify the extent this article claims

EDIT: since I can't directly reply - the article linked below directly contradicts the URL on the HN post - it clearly states that warrants would be needed. It is also political hyperbole and contains very few details about the actual bill. I recommend scrolling down to jpollock's response for credible sources.
Are the wages of US tech workers skyrocketing because they switch jobs often? If so, remote workers can switch even faster. The most capable workers had already emigrated to US, so the question is, has the pool of workers expanded more than the pool of competitive jobs?

yes, that's an important point. we are not a normal species and there is no point to pretend otherwise. every other sort faces a constant struggle for survival with their numbers being modulated by natural predators. Predators in turn get modulated when they overfeed on their prey. Our problem is that our prey is the entire planet.

That's after the employees vote though, and only if the unions win the vote. The employers do not have to provider resources before the vote has been done.
Perhaps for the exact reason you are implying - lack of respect for the judge and/or process.

People don't go to court because they "respect" the judicial process or the judge - they go because they are compelled by force or threats of force/imprisonment.

That said... it seems foolish to disrespect the judge, not because he/she deserves respect, but because they can abuse their power and punish you over slights to their ego. It's the same reason you don't run your mouth at a cop during a traffic stop - they would likely wield their small authority over you in a way that you found unpleasant.
If you're counting 3% Firefox usage in your analytics, that's 3 users in every 100 using FF, and 97 using other browsers. If we assume actual FF usage is 8x what's being reported, you actually have 24 FF users and 97 other users, for a total of 121.

Something really bizarre and unsettling is happening in Australia. Despite a small number of covid deaths, they have by far the most totalitarian lockdowns and are pursuing some of the most extreme social control measures of any country on earth. They are building quarantine imprisonment camps, doing national manhunts for people who aren't quarantining, arresting people for anti-government speech, using the military to limit movement. You are not even allowed to leave the country anymore! Things really happened so fast and with so little debate that it rivals the speed and severity of loss of rights that occurs in a communist revolution. What the heck is even going on there?

Talking about pay is pretty much always a win for workers. If people have an emotional reaction, maybe they need to do it more or maybe they have some unique need to opt out. Otherwise, it’s the lowest effort way for workers to improve their outcomes.

Just want to note that pre-COVID, not many people would even have considered not-in-person equivalents to things that they thought they preferred in-person. When I say "not even considered", in many cases I mean "were not even aware they existed".

It might be that their pre-COVID apparent preferences remain their actual preference post-COVID, but I would not take that for granted.

I recall one engineer in a team of 20 or so that, whenever he ran into a problem, he'd stop, fold his hands, and sit back in his chair. And wait until the manager noticed this, would come by, ask what the problem was, fix it for him, and he'd then proceed.

You could say this was all the manager's fault, but the rest of the team did not behave this way.

Another time, I recall one who needed micromanaging. Eventually it turned out he was on drugs.
Please don't strawman me, I didn't say I agree with the surveillance bill (I do not) and I don't live in Australia - my family does though.

It's a different country with a different set of tradeoffs, and is also a more free country than the United States across many important areas, which is why it rates higher in the Cato freedom index than the USA.

It comes down to perspective, to take a separate topic to prove my point - You may think their limitation to only own bolt actions and shotguns makes them less free. I may think they are more free, since they live without the fear of death in a mass shooting.
100% the only way this would've paid out is if you stored them and truly forgot them.

I can't seem to find anything to verify your 10% claim - all I can find is stats showing that child poverty actually went down.. Are you able to post a source for that?

EDIT: since my account has been rate-limited...
The msn article below was released before the stats and is purely speculation. The stats before covid already indicate an increase, and NZ has long had fluctuating child poverty rates, which the current government is attempting to address. However it is essential to realise that this increase is largely driven by the effects of the previous government, and the housing and rental market - not the effects of Covid-19.

tl;dr

To build a $10k/mo software startup:

- Revenue: get 150 customers paying at least $66/mo RECURRING
- Market: choose a BIG market, build a product that people need and is naturally recurring
- Customer acquisition: ads > content. It's more reliable

The point of taking firearms against the government is not that you expect to win a firefight. It is that you are willing to force the government to shed blood (yours) if it is going to achieve its objective. Which means they risk turning you into a martyr.

"Designing an operating system specifically for the sake of using closed code in the system is not good news for openness, no matter how you put it."

It is designed specifically, to give the manufactures the freedom to choose how they write and release their driver.

That can be open source, or closed. But it is not designed for proprietary. So I rather see it as designed for openness.

It can not be the job of a OS maker, to force change the way, the industry treats intellectual property.

This is a way bigger problem to solve, for the whole society.

Till then, I want the maximum on openness, I can realistically get, while still getting work done.

Fuchsia might help with that.
The school is less of a problem than the state-by-state bar exam, I believe.
Its a paradox because a perfectly tolerant society would cease to function due to attacks from intolerant people subverting social mechanisms, that very tolerance of view point is what would enable it. Thus a completely tolerant society would need to violate its core principle in order to protect that principle.

The price is a bit too high (as always with System76). Last year, for the same price ($1,199) on sale, I bought a ASUS Zephyrus G14 with a Ryzen 4900HS and RTX 2060. Right now, you get it (for a bit more) with a 5900HS and RTX 3060.

Both the 5900HS and the 4900HS will beat the low-wattage 5700U in performance handily. The G14 has a 76 Wh, so despite the “higher”-power (35 Watt) CPU, it’ll still get a LOT of battery life.
