The marketing on this to Gen X was incredibly effective as well.

There was this pervading "common sense" that if you didn't go to college, you weren't going to be able to attract the kind of spouse that you wanted, or that you would somehow be looked down on in the reproductive market. The smart ones figured out that this was actually a handy way to filter out superficial candidates.

Fast forward 25 years, and I see many middle-aged men who are dissatisfied with their corporate lives but haven't build any income potential in something other than corporate America, so they are stuck in jobs that are increasingly subject to the pressures of globalism, etc.

Research has shown that people tend to quit their jobs after experiencing a “turnover shock”: a life event that precipitates self-reflection about one’s job satisfaction. Shocks can be positive, like grad school acceptance or a new baby, or negative, like a divorce or sick relative. Or they can be global catastrophes like Covid-19 that upend every aspect of daily life.

Or they found another way to make money.

> My hypothesis is that the 700 cases they mention are requests from _foreign_ authorities, to whom they answer that they need the request to come through Swiss authorities.

They can also fight against Swiss authorities, unless they come with a court+gag order.

Anyway, I believe them that the do their best to protect their customers, but it's simply not an option to break the law. And they never promised to do so; in fact, they quite clearly state that they don't.
Contract is by and large a state law issue and many states have statutes that look askance at format deficiencies and expect signatures to be formatted in certain ways. The judge also has to be able to understand the contract as written to rule on it, so a contract of a smudge would be hard to enforce.

Signing a false name on a contract is fraud. It is different. They would have trouble doing anything if they could not serve you because they didn't know who you were. But if you used an online service to sign the contract, they could serve the company who facilitated it demanding they reveal your identity and doxx you that way.

Based on sales numbers, those ads were brilliant. They worked. C64s were up against intense competition and managed to carve into a great niche: the high end of the low end.

That is because making graphs, prior to the home computer, required a magic marker and a ruler.

> Great news, the concept that you need college to succeed was one of the greatest lies told to my generation.

I guess it means what you mean by “succeed”. Going to college is and always has been a reliable way towards earning more money[0]. The issue isn’t that college doesn’t work, the issue is that it’s basically an asset bubble of sorts and the cost exceeded its value.

If huge chunks of future generations skip college because it’s unaffordable, that will be bad for us as a society. It would be much better to reduce the cost of college so that it’s more valuable for more people, rather than having younger generations opt out due to the high cost.

Different ethnic groups have meaningful difference in various allergies and disease risks, but that doesn’t get attention from the general public.

That stuff is basically all interesting but largely meaningless because it’s so binary. It doesn’t matter if your part of a group that’s 10x as likely to be lactose intolerant, you are either lactose intolerant or your not. Sure the dairy industry might care, but the only impact on individuals is what they can bring to very large family gatherings.

Even where it is actually meaningful to an ethnic group, people rarely from a single ethnic group. A large chunk of African Americans are whiter genetically than their black.
Here’s one reason I know you’ve don’t have much experience teaching. You’ve mentioned that the way to pass all of my students is to do my job. No one who has extensive experience in classrooms with a wide variety of student backgrounds can possibly make such a statement. Even the most ardent, hardcore teachers at my college who advocate that everyone can learn any topic don’t think this.

When I mention that I just mostly pass my students now they understand that grades are an administrative aspect to the job and know that this is detached from my desire to get as many students as possible to learn as much as possible. People with extensive experience don’t harp on my statements about grading. At most they’ll claim they don’t lower their standards but they don’t make any wild conclusions about me like you did.

But you, you’ve made wholly unjustified conclusions about me and that says you don’t know the nuances involved. You don’t immediately understand that one can think not everyone can learn a topic and still be passionate about learning.
I agree, however if you do know how to use jq than "like jq, but for html" is extremely effective. I use jq all the time and that title hooked me, I immediately wanted to try it.

But if you haven't used Jq that I can see how that title is less than helpful.
It is a system that is being threatened to irrelevance by institutional corruption. Voting as a feedback mechanism seems not to be able to survive the capture of our political and administrative institutions. There are other countries that demonstrate elections don't guarantee anything. It matters who makes the rules, and who can buy/count votes. Your response is very glib and inadequate to the challenges of democracy.
No shit. The biggest problem with organic is that it’s unsustainable for our population. It’s only useful for rich people to brag about amongst themselves.

It’s not even sustainable for the US to switch to organic for its own citizens, even setting aside the food it exports.

The ways you've listed would work only once (each). With several hundreds of requests per year PM would pretty quickly run out of plausible excuses to not start storing the requested info.
Also - what is so precious about this particular request compared to 700 requests PM received last year (if we trust PM on that)?
Also - the purpose of any commercial activity (which surely PM email service is) is to make money for their owners. How much money and for how long would come from PM if they constantly would be resisting authorities (or from authorities point of view - obstructing justice)?

> don't value a nuclear family, when you yourself do

When you say you value a 'nuclear family', instead of just 'family', the distinction means things like 'I do not want my parents to have more than a minimal role in their grandchildren's lives' and 'my siblings and their children are to be kept separate from my children'. That's what the 'nuclear' part means!

Mom died and now Dad's dropping hints about moving into your furnished basement? Sorry, we're a nuclear family. Going halves with your sister on a duplex with her and her family living next to you and yours so all the cousins can grow up together? Absolutely not nuclear.
> progressives denying group differences at all

In my experience, it depends on the group. It seems conservatives are more likely to defend the idea of IQ differences among racial groups, but also more likely to reject the studies showing that liberals tend to have higher IQ's than conservatives[1].

Fundamentally, though, I'm not sure what the use of highlighting group differences is. I tend to skeptical of such studies (in my own experience datasets can be very misleading if sliced the wrong way), but if the studies about political alignment are true, then what? Should I start separating people based on what group they belong to? As the above poster said, when you're measuring an individuals aptitude then the group aptitude is basically meaningless.

The gist of the article is at the bottom regarding the externalities to a push to complete organic farming overnight:

Threat to food security?
According to experts, three scientifically rigorous meta-analyses of organic-conventional crop yield comparisons indicate that across all crops, the mean yield reduction in organic agriculture in Sri Lanka is around 19-25 per cent. This shows that an overnight shift to organic cultivation presents a clear and imminent threat to the country’s food security.

Eminent researchers have also noted that organic farming increases farmland due to its low yields. This results in deforestation, leading to large scale extinction of species and a rise in greenhouse emissions.

According to the Annual Review of Resource Economics, organic agriculture generates more air pollutants and environmental emissions in the crop production process for a unit of food than chemical farming.

Moreover, organic farming has exponentially higher monetary input costs due to a lack of usage of pest and pathogen-resistant chemicals, which increases manual labour, according to experts. The additional processing and marketing costs of organic produce is also significantly higher, analysts said.
The term you are looking for is "Short Stroking" and has been around for a long time. Before SSD's got cheap enough it was occasionally used where it was worth the cost of only using 25% or less of the drives capacity.
Oh wow new concept for recruitment!
I think guess and check pissed you off because its taught as guess a random number and check they don't really teach you how to guess smartly and then you waste your time guessing in the wrong direction mindlessly. Its like teaching stands they should checkout every array slot when there are bits of knowledge that you can teach to do a binary search and get to an answer faster. And the math intuition to build the pattern of guessing is much less especially for high school level problems.
You really live in a marvelous world, where your communications reflect on your safety only due to career choices and not, let's say, gender, religious, political, or ethnicity related problems.

I wonder if a society that treats people as individuals is even possible?

To me that sounds like reasoning along the lines of the physics professors answer: "First, let's assume that all cows are spherical..."

Not always a useful assumption.

Generalizations are necessary for a human to function. Something like 90% of all daily activities are repetition and you would become psychotic if you tried to make a conscious effort to evaluate and re-evaluate everything all the time.

This goes for how we view people too, obviously. Especially those that we do not know.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't try, just trying to argue that it would be inhuman to expect us to succeed every time.

If they think my friend has sent a picture, or a business has sent an invoice, they're likely to click it.

Especially in the 3 receiving situations that bb123 outlined (1, 3 and 4) you're not likely to have the contact info, or it's plausible that the person could be using another phone to send that message.

Now - I know to check the sender, don't click strange links, all of that. I run trainings on how to avoid phishing and improve personal & organizational digital security. But it comes down to the fact that people are using technology as a tool.

I think a distinction must be made between a service that will protect your privacy historically and a service that will continuously protect your privacy.

If I sign up with protonmail today using a vpn like mullwad, since I'm probably not currently be targeted, I can reasonably be sure that it will be difficult to track things back to me.

However, once I'm targeted and there's a warrant against me, any activity I have on such services is going to be logged going forward.

So, using the service once to receive some data or do something anonymously is reasonably secure... This is very different from services like gmail which will have kept any logs in the past about me and that will always be able to track me without any further logging.

It's imperfect but I think that given the current environment and the current laws, this might be the best we can have.
Most were falling for the trickey in wording and they are mad.

Replacing libjpeg, libpng, h264 & h265 codecs etc. is a gargantuan task. Even if Apple employs another 200 rust programmers (which don't exist in the market – so not possible) it would take years before that project is close to finishing. So intermediate solutions are necessary until then. It is also likely a rewrite would introduce other security issues (not memory safety issues) which would take time to fix.

Rewriting these libraries is probably also a common good, that would be better done through open source initiatives.

Imagine an economist reading the manga website infrastructure post that was on the front page of HN yesterday. Would they maybe be confused? And think it is an overly complicated approach to serving webpages with comics on them?

I think there is an important difference between “this is needlessly complicated” and “I don’t understand this yet.”

Nations are very large things, and national governments have powers and responsibilities that are different from the individuals and organizations within them. So, it is logical that government finances don’t work the same way as the personal and business finances we are used to in every day life.

That doesn’t mean government finances are optimal or perfect. But I think it’s reasonable to expect that it will take some effort to understand it as it exists today.
I was referring to pcloud and pcloud also have an office in Switzerland. But similar applies to Tresorit I believe, thy just have it for tax and marketing reasons.

The issue is both Tresorit and pcloud store the data outside of Switzerland. If you start using pcloud on the expectation that it's stored in Switzerland you are wrong, it will be stored in Texas or in Luxemburg. So, how can Swiss law really apply once it really matter? And secondly, who cares if it's Swiss law, it's nothing special with that.

People seem to believe there is some kind of banking secrecy that applies to data storage. On top of that, the Swiss banking secrecy does actually not exist anymore.

And looking at the Terms & Conditions from pcloud, it says:
"If a European Union user of the Site or Services is located outside of Switzerland, then, for the purposes of any claim or action relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Site, or any Services, the applicable jurisdiction will be the courts that are located in the territory of residence of such European User."

So what is the point to highlight they are in Switzerland, if Swiss laws do not apply if you do not live in Switzerland? It's just false marketing.

>But genetics doesn't matter, in that just because you have "bad" genetics doesn't mean you'll suck, whether it comes to weightlifting, intelligence, temperment, etc. Maybe you won't be in the top 0.0001%, but except for some very specific circumstances, you can defy the average. If you want to know if someone's bad at something, actually testing them is much more accurate than looking at their genetics.

It does matter in what regards intelligence because lots of professions require an IQ higher than the 85 or 90 needed for brick layers.

You need that to have a stable and functioning highly developed society.

Many criminals commit crimes, not because they're intrinsically "evil" but because they have very low impulse control, or difficulty in even understanding their victims feelings from the hurt they can cause them.

You can circle around with irrelevant stuff such as if an European has the same probability of winning a marathon than a Kenyan, that will get you nowhere but maybe that's the plan.

Fully understanding how intelligence works and how genetics influence it is paramount for any greater advance for Humanity.

It's not a good idea to ban chemical fertilizers when your whole food production depends on them.

Ecologism may sound like a beautiful thing but it can't be implemented overnight and at scale. It's just ignoring decades of human progress without a proper alternative.

6 months later and the results are already here. Sadly, a lot of people will die from poverty and starvation thanks to this measure. I hope Sri Lankans stand up against this (even if they have to smuggle proper fertilizers into their country).

Am I misunderstanding the article, or is it basically just describing sprint planning?

I was set to be annoyed by the article, since it seems to me that a lot of PM practices put way more emphasis on planning to do things, versus actually doing them, but after reading it it just seemed like a slightly modified version of what most teams I have worked on do for sprint planning.

Which makes me feel like I missed something in the article. Perhaps it is geared towards PMs who don't have any experience or appreciation for "agile" methods?
