I've been punished for being defensive and not participating in the fueling of an asset bubble.

Yes, that is exactly it. The economy falls apart if everyone saves too much. Money is an imaginary number designed to facilitate separation of labor, if too many people save and retire early then there won't be enough people working.

FWIW I am the same way, and used to be angry about it, but I have accepted it for what it is. I bought my house 15 years ago at the height of the last housing bubble. I was under water for a while, but I didn't qualify for any of the assistance because I bought a house I could afford. If I had bought a more expensive house, or if I made slightly less money I would have been able to get some money from the government. It was all based on the ratio of income to mortgage payment, which is still kind of annoying.

Only way I could cut my losses in my mind was to pay off the house as quickly as possible, to save money on interest. So now it's paid off, and for the first time since a year after I moved in Zillow has it at a higher price than I paid for it, though just barely.

But back to the point, don't keep your assets in cash, or any one thing for that matter. Index funds, mutual funds, commodities, collectables, anything that is easy to sell and will generally go up in price with inflation. These policies are meant to encourage people with cash to do things with that cash, instead of hoarding it.
You appear to be redefining racism as "willing to agree with me when I assert everything is racist". You aren't naming any specific problem you saw with actual racism, only that people react badly when you claim it's everywhere. But as you use words like micro-aggressions we can safely assume you're the type of person who led to lists like this:

https://twitter.com/titaniamcgrath/status/128102398724248780...

Don't conflate woke identity politics with racism. They are fundamentally different. British people are right to reject your America-centric obsession with finding racism in everything, given the UK's excellent track record.
I always found it baffling how a community maintained project like OpenWrt can not only keep routers updated for many years (unlike the manufacturer that gives you an update once in a blue moon for the first 2 years) but make these cheap routers so useful and so stable you just forget the thing is there in the first place. I can't remember the last time I had to reboot a router running OpenWrt because it started behaving erratically.

You can do a lot with these commodity ARM CPUs, 64-128MB of ram and a few tens of megabytes of flash storage.
Perhaps the new government fixed things?
I wonder how accurately we can run mutation simulations updated based on best current data to correct the best guess optimization function(s). It would be a breakthrough if we can predict the likeliest mutation. I'm aware of the enormous number of variables making this tremendously difficult...
There is a need for this, but is there a large enough market? I will look seriously at this product for my next laptop. It seems to follow a similar philosophy in the notebook market as Purism's does in the mini-PC, rack server, and mobile phone markets.

I'm interested in a remote internship or junior backend role. I'm very skilled working with the aforementioned technologies. I have done a lot Web development involving the backend side.
I've just run the numbers on a framework laptop with 64Gb RAM, i5, and 4TB Nvme = ~$2,100. That's an impressive price.

Edit: Impressive as in it's low compared to equally specced big-name laptops.
I don't think anyone was saying that dictatorships were good either - that's another system of government that was considered to be a devolution of a republic.
Yes, absolutely it risk of happening. Lots of huge companies have either gone out of business for less.

It's not a binary thing, it's a scale. Fact is Amazon could keep better engineers for longing if they weren't so cut throat and that is not helping them. Will they be able to stay successful regardless of this? Who knows, they will probably become worse at innovation, but they could potentially keep running their store and delivery for a long time without much innovation.

You are probably right in regards to emotion, who doesn't want to see a company who treats workers like that fail?
I still shop there, it is way too convenient and cheap.

May be it is just me, but I am yet to find a single book of music theory that really starts from the basics. Most pretend to, but start talking about famous clefs and what not, quickly moving on to examples that for the life of me I cannot follow the relevance of. In this book for example, in the basics chapter, he talks about .. oh there are only 7 named notes, so why does piano have 88 keys?.. I really don't think there was an explanation after.. I can grok science and math in all flavors just fine from most books, but music theory.. stumps me every time :(
Of course, a lot of consumer-grade hardware won't do 802.1x so you end up stuck with needing a bunch of SSIDs (and wasting air-time on beacons)

Yes, that's why I want more SSID's. My internal network does use 802.1x, but as you said, few devices outside of laptops support it.
Love the product. Too bad you aren't open to remote.
You can argue that it’s a consequence of the ECB’s policies, but the ECB is not part of any government.
Lenovo tablet forced update shows un-dismissable, un-mutable, ad notifications
Where this gets really sinister is that instances like this can blend and merge with apophenia. Genuine cases of botting lead to people looking for more, and seeing patterns where there aren't any. There have been a few cases of voice assistants passing info on to ad networks, and so now people attribute near black-magic level surveillance abilities to them. Not that I'm complaining; if this is what it takes for people to finally throw out their Alexa, so be it. But it is interesting that gas-lighting can have unexpected negative consequences. Unsurprisingly, people start to get jumpy and irrational when you fuck with their reality.
And my understanding is that while opening up IP does not solve all the issues, it is a necessary step to loosen supply constraints. That is why the sources above are calling for it.
That’s the original acute concern. Long run we still don’t know if it will have effects on brain function etc. There are some disturbing lines of evidence on this front. For example the UK biobank showing grey matter loss post infection including in mild cases:

CV: https://flyingcoloursmaths.co.uk/cv/CV__Colin_Beveridge.pdf

email: colin@flyingcoloursmaths.co.uk

I am an applied mathematician and writer looking for remote consulting opportunities.

My academic background is in three-dimensional models of the Sun's magnetic atmosphere, but I've spent the last decade writing about, talking about and tutoring maths, while raising a family and consulting when possible. There are few things I enjoy more than taking a problem, breaking it down into manageable chunks, and solving them — then explaining what I did so others can repeat it.
> As discussed above, Tyler eliminates the first need - efficiency - through selective distribution. Because the program keeps a low profile, there is a manageable number of applications (2000 at current date, running over the past 4 years) and the average quality is very high. At least for a hyperlexic, it is indeed possible to read and score every essay.

Will this article disrupt that?
The explanation reminds me of this wonderful (and previously posted on HN) article https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source...
> Also, why the heck would medical images want to be upscaled?

One reason might be to reduce eyestrain.
For each variant we've given an alphabet to, like Delta, there are variants occurring from those - they seem to only give them a letter once it's a large enough step in mutation; I'm not sure of the actual labeling practices used.

But yes, I'm not qualified for the pinnacle of such a debate either, but those discussions aren't even happening - at least not in public which they need to be.

There are mutations that are occurring however just in vaccinated, that aren't occurring in the non-vaccinated, the virus mutating to escape the immunity of the vaccinations - which then makes those variants easier to spread to other vaccinated [and potentially easier to spread to unvaccinated as well]; UCSF recently released study of 1,300+ patients with COVID,78% had specific variants associated with vaccinated vs. 48% of unvaccinated having those same variants - various conclusions of possibilities could be made from that.
As impressive the M1 is, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I have a similar issue with Qualcomms chips, and I guess Tensor will have the same problem:

I can't actually use them.

The M1 innovation is locked to Apple. If I have a great idea for a new device that would be enabled by the M1 perf/power/spec, I'd have no chance of building it.

I hope Google continues what they did with Coral with the Tensor chip. A Raspberry Pi style device, or a compute module of this chip would be a fever dream.

The best thing we have right now is the NXP iMX8 when it comes to performance, and still the RPi when it comes to ease of use.

Maybe if have to dig into Qualcomm and check how to get hands on their 8xx chips. The fact that there are not really SBCs with them however tells me that it's not easy to get them/use them.
Go with the Air. It's not a huge difference in thermal performance as far as I can tell.

We're going to support the Touch Bar to make those machines useful, but given it's likely to be dead in the next generation, it's unlikely Linux will get any kind of ecosystem for it unless someone is really dedicated. I can only promise basic function key emulation (same kind of thing you get on T2 Macs with Windows/Linux), and it will take some time since that needs a couple bespoke drivers and we have bigger fish to fry first.

Then again, you could also wait for the next generation. As long as M1X didn't redo the GPU, which seems unlikely, I don't expect support for that chip to lag much behind M1.
Also, supporting the secondary market, supports the primary market.

Additionally, being seen with Apple hardware supports Apple's legitimacy.

Rancher Desktop uses k3s[1] which is a distro of Kubernetes designed for light weight environments. I run is on a fairly new MBP and a 7 year old MBP without an issue. I also run it on a 9 year old server with low resource usage.

While Kubernetes is present we want those components to use the fewest resources they need to.

On Mac, all of this runs in a VM and you can control the resources given to the VM.

Yeah this is what I'd like. I don't think I'd ever feel comfortable putting these shady devices on the same LAN as my PCs.
You wouldn't vote for the party that promised to implement it you mean. I would love it if more democracies would enable citizens to vote on important issues like this, similarly to what Switzerland does.
There do exist those rare creatures who manage to get promoted to, and beyond, L6 as ICs. I've been trying figure out how they do it, but can't say I've been making much progress.

rules preventing you from doing something is one thing, but injecting a new product some people still have doubts about (no matter if they're correct or not) is a very different matter.

I'm amazed that people still come with the "safety belt" argument.

We've had decades of increase protections about food additives, GMOs, hormones in animals, etc on the principle of precaution with everything related to health, because things in this matter are complex. And now for some reason, we should stop thinking about tradeoffs and unknown unknowns over long terms consequences eventhough we're talking about treating the whole world population.

I seriously hate this future.
I'm losing my patience with how comments are downvoted on HN. He's right. People are dying from common illnesses in the US because of a lack of hospital beds/staff. "Elective" surgeries cover a lot of essential surgeries that prevent much suffering, high health costs and even deaths.
So?

If they could afford an X/month mortgage, so bidded a higher total cash price because X/month suddenly was a higher total purchase price due to lower interest rates, and the original poster could only afford a X-$300/month mortage, the original poster isn't beating them anyway.

There has been an extreme shortage of supply due to some combination of people not wanting to move due to Covid because of exposure to lots of people being required, people valuing homes with more space over apartments more than they did in the past, and people not wanting to try to "trade up" because the houses they'd upgrade to were also being hit by the price increase. That shortage is what fucked the original poster here, not stimulus checks.

The amount of times I've seen text to the extent of "mRNA does not alter DNA" vastly exceeds the amount of text I've seen that claims mRNA does alter DNA. As far as I could see nobody in this thread is claiming such a thing, so I'm genuinely curious to know why you feel the need to point it out.
Linux and open source are always inefficient with its limited development resources. There are how many distros. Desktop systems. How many video editors? All free, and all in need of some development polish.

There is no one dominant firm/distro. This is an OS that can’t agree on a way of distributing applications across distributions: flatpack, snap…

It interesting That every M1 machine comes with an OS these people people are enthusiastically looking to replace with something better.

I think the issue for me with this is that it’s a lot of volunteer effort going to support a single machine vendor that is very wealthy and seems disinclined to help out.

Ubuntu/Kubuntu LTS is the distro for people that do not need the latest core libraries. Most issues people get on Ubuntu is when they try to install stuff from the wrong PPA or when they listen for bad advice for random clueless people.

Sure Arch users need to raise their hand and scream they use Arch and that the code is vanilla and they run GNOME with all it's bugs... do you remember how when Ubuntu went back to GNOME the Canonical developers fixed GNOMe's bugs, yes a distro actually fixing bugs upstream and not just packaging shit, some would prefer that instead of pretending the memory leaks are the fault of the user.

I used many distro including Arch, SUSE,Debian(and Sidux),Fedora, Mandriva and for years I am stuck with Kubuntu LTS because it works and I don't need latest library co compile latest XYZ program. I use this Kubuntu machine for my work so I can't and also I don't get any plesurre from rolling updates and fixing broken stuff or fighting with new bugs(I know how to work around existing ones)

You are contradicting yourself. You say this is about getting things under control, but then you say there is no way of controlling things.

Because vaccinated people can still spread infections vaccinations, just like lockdowns, do not help ‘getting things under control’. They only delay progression of the pandemic.

You say ‘it will probably be a common cold, once humans have enough antibodies’. Humans do not get permanent antibodies from the vaccines. They get antibodies from getting infected. Lockdowns and vaccines only delay the inevitable.

The only argument there is is that vaccinated people get less seriously ill than unvaccinated people. But then it affects only themselves so it’s pretty hard to argue for schemes that force people to get vaccinated against their will.
I am confused. He is basically saying Linux isn't powering all the hardware simply because firmware is running on other more complex peripherals/SoCs on a device. That will always become the case as hardware gets more complicated and advanced. Linux simply need to provide the means to abstract the nitty gritty. Linux is still acting as the central "manager" of all the hardware. As far as security. Linux can act as the final security boundary for getting the machine to do anything useful.
Also marginal revolution and his podcasts probably pulls in right kinda people.
I agree with the sentiment that not all bad things are equally bad.

However these are all life decisions, whether to be a helpless tech illiterate end-user or at least know how to navigate around a computer. If you want to learn how to use a Linux distro, then I will help you learn a valuable skillset, but if you want me to enable you to become a helpless end-user who doesn't know how to troubleshoot basic problems then I refuse to do it in my free time.

At work I'd help anybody, but that's because I'm being paid to be helpful to my team and reach its maximum efficiency and work isn't the right place to stand by your ideals.
