Aside from the technical difficulties (requiring a time machine and all that), is the IRS even authorized levy taxes on executives who lived and died before the US was even founded??
I encourage you to look at orchid.com (or, better yet, the README file in the git repository) for information about Orchid instead of torproject.org ;P. Orchid is most often described as "a decentralized bandwidth marketplace", and now (apparently) as "a new model of VPN". I do not believe that the word "anonymity" is generally used to describe the effect of using Orchid (though I'm sure the term has probably been used in one or two places over the years inadvertently, as there is some overlap between it and the word "private", which better describes what Orchid is accomplishing; if you go back to like, early 2020 on archive.org, you can see orchid.com was nigh unto littered with the word "private"--calling it a "privacy network" for "private browsing"--but not "anonym(ity|ous)").

As for Onion Browser (which is notably a third-party app), I will clarify (as I'd assumed the points were taken together): Tor does not have "a working iOS port" capable of VPN-like service (what Tor sometimes calls "transparent proxy"), such as to use apps like Facebook, WhatsApp, or Instagram over Tor (as in, something useful to accomplish the goals of a user on mobile, as the world--and to be clear: this sucks--is no longer truly accessible via the web). This would require a Network Extension on iOS, which has very weird and somewhat frustrating resource limitations... and here I will note that I know well the developer of iCepa (mentioned in that blog post), and, due to life circumstances, he had to abandon that work many years ago (before it was able to be finished).

FWIW, I entirely appreciate that Tor isn't really designed to support "VPN-like service" (and, in fact, goes so far as to discourage the usage of their "transparent proxy" functionality): they do not consider that to be an appropriate way to implement "anonymity online"... which maybe helps make the difference between the projects clear? Brian (Fox!) had had a great explanation (this isn't an exact quote... I believe he worded it much better): Tor attempts to make you "anonymous" online (which really requires a browser); Orchid, in stark contrast, can help to make your communication "private", helping prevent third-parties (whether ISPs or governments) from interfering with your communication (which may or may not be "anonymous": that's kind of out of Orchid's control).
I wouldn’t advocate getting rid of the honour system; it has proven to work for operating aircrafts.

But like [1], I am still utterly confused about the whole self-certification deal.

I think it's quite daft to say gender equality leads to higher fertility without further explanation. Gender equality leads to a much higher participation of women in the workforce. At least naively I would assume this correlates with a lower fertility since women now are forced to choose between raising a child or having a career.

The only way I could see this changing if men would take on much more of the caregiving role. But that is not currently happening.

I am fully vaccinated and will get a booster as soon as offered but even I am so sick of people preaching about this.

You do your part individually and that is the best you can do. All you are doing when you post something like this is causing a visceral reaction in the people that need to get vaccinated of "fuck you internet guy, I am not listening to you, I am not getting vaccinate!"

The people I know that are not vaccinated are this exactly. They are so pig headed that if you preach at them they will dig in their heals and do the opposite almost automatically.
We need people to just shut up about this already and dial everything back so it is not some admission of defeat for pig headed people who haven't got the vaccine to actually do so.
Excellent analysis and I think the proposed algorithm would work well against clickbait titles. HN could trial several different algorithms over a period of a week each and watch the metrics. Thinking out loud:

Part of HN’s charm is that niche content can surface to the top and many here are experts in their field, contributing great insights unavailable in normal media (example: pilots discussing possible causes after an airplane crash). That means the rest of us get to learn something new with perspectives from the best and many newbies become interested in more. That’s what top University classrooms feel like. I’m not sure what metric would quantify that quality (just # of comments as a metric encourages rage posting, maybe # comments with high upvotes?). The current system, although game-able and full of false negatives also has entropy built in - randomness that is more likely to give a wider range of content to the front page. That helps with genetic algorithms, so it might be of benefit, but missed if not quantified. If gaming the system counts - the most persistent also win some more.

Another option to consider is duration of stay on articles. From testing it seems Google factors in duration of stay on content as search criteria as well, which skews rankings towards longer pages. Those also tend to be ad-supported and likely within Google’s own advertising network. Within HN, more comments increase duration of stay, so that would likely increase provocative content, so may not be a good idea, but testing would surface that and more.

Not disagreeing with you so much as taking it a bit further ...

It would be highly controversial to claim that any organisation has a valid mandate to represent the Palestinians. Meanwhile, the Israeli government, in order to avoid angering a significant part of the their electorate, cannot offer a firm opinion on certain questions, such as where the borders of Israel are. And everyone's very fond of "stategic ambiguity" and "plausible deniability" and all that stuff.

So your facts end up being something like: News outlet N claimed at time T1 that person P, claiming to represent organisation X, stated at time T2 something that can be accurately translated into language L as: ...
>I'm not saying it's the end of the world, you're just way behind. I lived in USA, Canada and several European countries so it's first-hand experience, not an exaggeration,

And yet you don't know that, as nraynaud and bayart said, the French use checks (about as often as Americans). Checks are definitely a thing in the UK, too. Are France and the UK no longer part of Europe? (If you make a Brexit joke here, as opposed to actually trying to respond to my point, you automatically lose.)

>Top 3 real frustrations are the difficulty of international wires

I will give you this. When I had to send $2000 to a Canadian earlier this year, the cheapest method we found was to do so through Coinbase using Bitcoin; I think the fee was about 1% (for me to purchase the additional Bitcoins I needed; no fee charged by Coinbase for the transfer itself because it was internal).

>the frequency I have to visit a branch

I've been a customer of USAA Bank for years. As it was created to serve the military (although its remit has expanded), USAA has always been designed to work without a local branch. There are many such branchless banks in the US. That said, I have accounts with other, "traditional" banks and they have been about as online as USAA is for years.

>Libby has made it so easy for me to read and listen to books and audiobooks that I'm now able to read 5-7 books a month.

I use Overdrive.com and not Libby, because I do all my reading on a physical Kindle. Two unexpected things I found after buying it:

1. How easy it is (as an American holder of multiple library cards) to find a book. If I see a book mentioned that sounds interesting, I can

* Go to overdrive.com

* Search across all the libraries I have a card at for the book

* Go to one of the libraries in the list of results

* Either

* borrow the book, or

* if no copy is available, put myself on the hold list, and check another library in the above list

Once I borrow the book, it automatically gets sent to my Kindle. The next time I pick up the device (typically in bed at night), the book and anything else I've sent to it is waiting for me.

2. How easy it is to switch between books. I almost never read an ebook straight through. I am constantly switching between it and other books I also have borrowed. Of course you can do that with physical books, but the lack of friction in switching between ebooks on the same device makes doing so so quick and easy that there's no comparison.
Not knowledgeable in the area, but from what I gather RISC-V is not as performant as ARM or Intel/AMD. Yes it can run at faster clock speeds due to its simplicity, but the flip side is that it requires more instructions (and more memory and more cache) to do the same job.

Besides, there don't seem to be good multicore architectures for RISC-V, that's probably the biggest show stopper in this age of multicore computing.

> Come on people, get vaccinated and wear a damn mask! If we could do it, so can you!

The vaccination or natural immunity, whilst not sterilising, has been proven incredibly effective.

Mask wearing on the other hand is a toxic pseudoscience infiltrated by political sectarianism in the US in particular.
Makes me think of "viewing" in Asimov's The Naked Sun.
The commenter's point was that there is information that can be expressed in one language but not another (they're not all essentially the same). The fact that you can't translate a figure of speech doesn't evidence this.
Perhaps all this description is showing is that in many organizations there simply is a genuine need for a "Developer IT" support function with appropriate skills and resources, and because there isn't one, it's being done haphazardly by teams who aren't a good fit for it, as the author describes. If there's a few niche issues then that's solvable by e.g. dev training, but if the issues are systematic as the article asserts, then that's an organizational problem that needs an organizational solution. If your company can't ensure that devs are capable and/or motivated to troubleshoot issues that work on their laptop but don't in a real deployment, then your company needs some "internal consultations" mechanism to connect them to someone who does have this capability and can explain and/or fix the issues for them.

Responding to "Someone will always have to own that gap and nobody wants to, because there is no incentive to. Who wants to own the outage, the fuck up or the slow down?" with "Not me." is not sufficient, it's a very valid question for which any organization definitely needs an answer pointing at some specific people - if it's not going to be pure ops people, it's IMHO not going to be the feature-developing devs as well, that would likely need separate 'site reliability engineer' teams as some major companies do.
I think in most countries it isn't vaccine recitence that's the problem, but lack of vaccine supply.

> They can still be used by apps and provided by apps to other apps such as how it works with the Play services location APIs.

I'm not sure why but even with PS installed "Network" location provider never returns anything.

> It doesn't bundle them in the OS and the OS doesn't trust third party providers.

A user-installable package may be a good option?

> We want a robust and secure local implementation respecting the OS security model for location providers. We'll need to set up generating databases for different regions, signing them and hosting them on a server. A new client needs to be developed for this.

Maybe you are not aware, but isn't "GSM location provider" doing exactly that?

> It comes down to the CalyxOS project and community spreading misinformation and attacks on GrapheneOS

I guess you should create some kind of a FAQ entry explaning your relationships with Calyx and other distros. For a random person who just tries to find a good solution for their needs all these in-house dramas are pretty obscure and demotivating.

> You're a member of the CalyxOS community doing exactly the kind of thing that has led to this situation,

You've mistaken me with someone. I'm a passerby. Something is wrong with your perception. As I said before, I have same traits (I'm an Asperger and I had some depression-alike problems) though I've learnt to keep these traits more or less under control. Maybe it's a good idea to seek an advice.

> including what you did on our issue tracker

I posted a comment saying "there is also DejaVu location provider which is used by Calyx". I don't know why you think I did somehting wrong, I'm sorry if this bothered you SO much.

> They welcome you in their community, as they do others, and encourage you to attack us.

I'm not attacking you anyhow, I think that your project is very good and in many aspects superior to other projects, though as an end user I found it somehow inconvenient because of the NLP issue. Moreover I'm really impressed by your work on sandboxed PS. Nothing more.
The first sentence is definitely correct, the person is the subject talking about themselves and secondarily about meeting children.

However to me as a native English speaker (from England) the second sounds wrong. It feels like the Swedish kids are the subject of the sentence, and using "whom" jars slightly. My guess is this may be down to the active way their increasing proficiency was described: "were becoming proficient" in the first sentence sounds passive; whereas "already gaining a good level" sounds active, shifting the emphasis and thereby making them the subject of the sentence.
Drought tolerant cultivars have been in development for awhile. They’re mainly targeted at golf courses and things like that but I’d expect to see them packaged for homes in the near future.

It’s really neat to see how they optimize certain grasses this way and how many years of breeding and selection it takes.
I strongly doubt that "Catalonia the country" vs "Catalonia the autonomous community" is a problem that you can "solve" with an algorithm of any kind. The best you can aim for is finding and displaying the inconsistencies.
Easy fix, which I have had jobs do, is to add an additional sentence to every coding challenge:

We don't expect you to complete the challenge.

It's not necessary to complete it to see if someone can code, and seeing the 75% done result and having a window to the thought process used, is just as valuable (or more) than a pass-fail evaluation.

I hypothesise that the actual meaning (possibly subconscious) underlying those uses of "complicated", "syntactic sugar", and "clever code" is 'not the way I'd write it'; and that "clarity" and "clean" actually mean 'the way I would write it'.

To test whether those statements are guiding principles, or merely ad-hoc justifications, I propose the following pylint rules based on those principles:

no-ternary-sugar:

Replace 'x if y else z' with '{True: lambda: x, False: lambda: z}[y]()'.
This is less concise, but improves clarity by using booleans explicitly,
and making the delayed evaluation of the results clear; both of which are
implicit in the 'if/else' syntactic sugar.

no-elif-sugar:

Replace:

if foo:
bar
elif baz:
quux
...
else:
foobar

With:

if foo:
bar
else:
if baz:
quux
else:
...
else:
foobar

This is less concise, but makes the branching structure clear, unlike the misleading
"flat" appearance of the 'elif' syntactic sugar.

no-special-case-patterns:

Replace:

if foo:
bar
else:
baz

With:

match foo:
case True:
bar
case False:
baz

'if/else' is syntactic sugar for pattern-matching a boolean, which is left implicit.
Explicit matching improves consistency with other use-cases, and makes the relationship
between branches and boolean clear, at the expense of conciseness.
(Also applies to single-armed 'if', which will only have a 'case True:').

Of course, the combination of no-elif-sugar and no-special-case-patterns would give extreme clarity like this:

match foo:
case True:
bar
case False:
match baz:
case True:
quux
case False:
...
case False:
foobar
this is why I love Nix; with Nix, you could do:

nix-shell -p chicken --run csi

for one-off invocation

or alternatively, tweak the package to rename them:

chicken = pkgs.chicken.overrideAttrs (attrs: {
postInstall = attrs.postInstall + "\n" + "mv $out/bin/{csi,chicken-csi}
})
Just like "scientist" and "engineer" have fractured into many specialist disciplines, the same is happening (and has happened many times before; when's the last time you wrote assembly?) in the disciplines of "computer science" and "computer engineering".

There will still need to be experts to continue the building and maintenance of services; however, not everyone designing web sites or doing data analytics needs to know in intricate detail the underpinnings of their tools.
Getting obesity levels lower is extremely important during this pandemic. It's not only their health but they take previous hospital beds.

Get vaccinated, lower the weight and wear a mask is the real message.
Unfortunately just like anti vaxxers obesity is something to be praise now and even "healthy".
It's a plausible position, but is there evidence for it?
> Critiquing tone and body language is straight up junk. Society has an expectation of what various things look or sound like, however, in a neuro-divergent field you should expect deviation from these things. Maybe even celebrate it.

This is all fine and good, until you have to communicate with people who are not engineers. Not being able to communicate effectively with non-tech people, whatever the reason is, is certainly going to be a career-limiting factor. You can celebrate it all you want, but you also need to acknowledge the reality of the situation.

Of course there is. But directing how much inventory a company has to hold seems a bit more invasive than say, demanding a company can't dump chemicals on the ground?
So this project provides a disassembler for GOAL.

I wonder if you can go a step further and make a decompiler that outputs something close to the original GOAL syntax. Once you have that, I guess you can then recreate the compiler and REPL tooling.

Tbf oakland is a low bar (as well as sf). Here just 15 mi down the road they investigated and arrested a credit card thief who stole my wife’s card and I didn’t even ask for it.

Just today I saw another “works on my machine” issue. The dev didn’t complain for 3 weeks that his latest code isn’t deployed. QA found out today (on a Friday) about it and the dev has his day off. The issues were not hard to fix, but it’s not the DevOps job.

Especially when the dev wanted to migrate from Java 8 to Java 11 and didn’t even attempt to lookup our documentation on how to change JVM parameters.

It's a false comparison for two reasons:

1) You leave out the long list of ways we've tried very, very hard to make driving as safe as possible while not sacrificing the entire point of the car, to get somewhere faster. There is a trade off, but the equation isn't nearly as callous as you make it seem.

2) The equation for Covid isn't "live free or die" either. There's a lot of middle ground that mostly involves taking up limited medical resources for something that could have been avoided while still conducting your normal day to day activities with some minor modifications. That trade-off is a simple one.

Sure, but most of the mindshare will still navigate around English. Look at the number of languages for the introduction https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Introduction, and then look at the Tours https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Tours. Already here we see a massive reduction in the number of languages. I think that the more specialized the information on Wikifunctions or Wikidata becomes, the fewer language choices there will be. This means it could appeal mostly to bilingual or English native audiences. Programming is already very focused on English. I don't think you can build something for people all over the world if most of the people actually building this thing can all communicate with each other in the same language.

That's one of the moments where diversity in teams is very powerful: if your team is only composed of people that can understand and express themselves in English, the people that can't won't be served well by your product.

Of course you could encode "In this culture, X is Y and in this culture, X is Z", but at this point why not just keep the encyclopedia like it is right now?
