Bah a thing that should not exist. I really don't know how any human being could work there for any money. The necessity for FUD and disinformation tactics clearly exposes that they have no real facts or arguments. Except maybe some business' and countrie's fear about less dirty fossil money.

It's fascinating to think how many early civilizations or cities may have met a similar fate with the remains just too obliterated to identify / study.
Luckily my grandfather saved his Byte magazines and gave me the stack when I was about 12 yrs old (early 90s). I lived deep in the countryside and these were my only glimpse at the industry at the time and led to me seeking out other languages beside BASIC.

Yes, I could have mentioned profits in the article, but I wouldn’t say that profitability (or lack thereof) is one of the primary things that has changed between 2013 and 2021, and the article is about changes.

To elaborate on my earlier comment: Salesforce has been unprofitable during almost its entire 20+ year existence and it’s worth over $200B. It uses debt and equity to finance growth much more quickly than using profits to do so and thus has grown extremely fast. Do you believe Salesforce is in imminent danger of failure?
This is fair. But I'm not prescribing specific numbers, just using them as examples. The point is to pick something achievable.

So, you can do this:
3 reps of each exercises (push-up, pull-up, sit-up). Perform this circuit 4 times for 2 weeks. Is it getting easier? If so, increase reps, or do the specific exercise slower (time under tension). Lots of ways to build.

Malazan Book of the Fallen is a series of epic fantasy novels. I can't do them. There are super fans and I think they are masochists. I like long, detailed series. Wheel of time, a song of ice and fire, the works of Brandon Sanderson, and more. Malazan just tosses you into a complex situation with zero onboarding. This can be a fun way to jump into a world, but Malazan is just terrible at it. I read the first two and a half books. Around that time, they finally described a race that our characters were at war with for the last two books. Like, basic descriptions like the fact they were not hominids was finally conveyed and completely altered what I had in my head for the last 60 hours of reading. Or we find out after a long while of reading (maybe separated by books) that a main character has red hair. I had no clue what was even happening in the first book until the last maybe the last 20%.
feels like Socratic trolling. The diamonds were a known valuable resource that was complicated to extract value from; someone figured a way to do that and got rich. Oil used to be a blight to farmers, then someone figured out uses for it and everyone wanted it.
I have two targets, for the work I do:

1) The eventual end-user of the product (usually, non-technical).

2) The developers that need to maintain and extend the work I do (often, Yours Truly).

It's important for me to keep them separate. Totally different priorities and workflows.

But it is equally important for me to treat them as high priorities.
I would bet the opposite. Average person in US gets less wealthy, average person globally gets more wealthy. Tenth decile in US gets more wealthy, 9th tread water, and the other 8 deciles revert to global mean.
Very interesting, never heard of this - taking a look, and thanks!
I've only ever heard of something similar, the Bacon Number, which is the degrees of separation between a given person and Kevin Bacon [1].

I got a couple of casio watches from Amazon years back. Then I brought one in a physical watch store and realized that all the watches purchased through Amazon were fakes. Especially the strap is so much better on the real thing.
You are absolutely correct there is no "solid theory" for FTL. Rather, there is "solid theory" FTL truly is impossible in the universe as we know it, because it would allow effects to happen before the events that caused them. It would allow messages to be sent back in time. The speed of light is much more than the speed of light: it is the speed of causality itself. If the sun were to suddenly disappear, the earth would continue to orbit the disappeared sun for the roughly 8 minutes that lightspeed (or causality-speed) requires for covering the earth-sun distance. Anytime any event happens anywhere in the universe, you can imagine an invisible sphere exploding outward from that event in all directions at lightspeed (causality-speed). The event cannot cause an effect anywhere in the universe until this expanding sphere hits that part of the universe. So picture one of these spheres expanding outward from you at the moment you were born. At age 80 your birth-sphere now has a radius of 80 light-years. There is a 160 light-year diameter ball in the Milky Way all the effects of your birth are limited to. It will be millions of years before anything you ever could have done could have any effect whatsoever in the Andromeda galaxy. There is a "glass half full" optimistic view of this limitation: intergalactic Thanos/Hitler types cannot exist in the universe as we know it. We are well quarantined from the evil in other galaxies (if any exists), and other galaxies are well-quarantined from our evil here (where it definitely exists).
> using a testing framework that did all sorts of magic with decorators

This seems a little unfair. Testing frameworks are notorious for pushing the envelope of language constructs and weird introspection tricks. And if in this case you picked an exceptionally ripe example I'm not sure that should reflect on the entire language.

Back in the day people used to use the baroque nature of some frameworks such as Zope to bash Python but Zope was an outlier. There will always be some gorgonzola in any ecosystem.
The OP suggested vasectomies to bring down population, the result is the same.

I just looked up the link to share this, but you already got to it so I’m going to sell Darknet Diaries to y’all.

This podcast series is one of my favorites. It some how manages to find a balance between being technical and accessible to the average person. Jack Resider is a great story teller. The level of care and detail they put into their research is incredible and they share the primary sources if you want to go even deeper.

If you like podcasts, give this a listen. Physical pentest episodes are my favorite.

Sounds nice. Yeah, a lot of engines of the era were detuned at the factory for regulatory and other (supposedly e.g. insurance, later emissions) reasons. If you already had other top end mods, e.g. good headers and ported heads (seems you did) then sometimes a small change could open up a bottleneck. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, and I’ll take that further and ask “what’s wrong with writing a letter and paying the cost of a stamp to have that letter delivered?”

It sounds like the prompted experience of homeskillet is not for me. I prefer 1:1 communication and 1:x (as in this forum; I find many HN comments to be at least an engaging diversion, and I do not expect conversations but a healthy back and forth does add something useful), and the pace of pencil on paper suits me just fine for maintaining friendships outside of the few closest.

It's just a job. You go there, do the work then go home again. The misconception is like: Who would want to sit behind a desk all day? Who would want to fill their head with their work and grind puzzles all day the year round even after work and in bed? Endless unproductive meetings? Fight tech debt and deadlines with the wrong tools as if one hand tied behind your back? Never a real vacation? All that for money? What good is it if you don't have time for your own thoughts?

One just gets used to it and it isn't a big deal.
Kobo's stock reader has integration with Pocket: you add an article to Pocket on your desktop/phone, and your reader pulls queued articles when it's on WiFi. You can read them offline, and they're basically like reader-mode.

KOReader, which you can install on several ereader devices, has similar integration with Wallabag. I find it extremely convenient to read lengthy blog posts and news articles this way.

I doubt we'll be seeing them behind every bike. And if by any chance we will, most of them will be a lot smaller.

I'm big on having this kind of small e-vehicles on the roads, because I think they're the best chance we have on having truly nice, open, clean cities. Using a half-ton monstrosity to go buy a loaf of bread is a horrible waste of, not just resources, but commons. As you said, the worst thing is their size, and that is by necessity limited in urban areas.

So if we're going to have this kind of things replace cars, we'll have to be open to a larger ecology of e-vehicles, for various use cases. Including larger ones for cargo, and also the sick grandma that can't ride a bike.

Probably the biggest difference of opinion between us is that I see them as replacement for traffic, and so I want them scaled up and separate them from pedestrians as much as practically possible.

On Twitter (story link at top), VoIP.ms continues the "our team is working 24/7...thank our customers for their patience...etc." tone. No mention there the attacker's identity, ransom demands, or such.

At $Day_Job, there is no sign yet of our VoIP.ms phones being able to place calls, or receive calls, or even route callers to our voice mail.

Not really, iOS 15 is when they introduce image scanning. There are several other comments in this thread discussing that. Ergo, an alternative mobile OS discussion for people that don't want to go down Apple's invasive scanning route is completely appropriate.
Ahhh the ol' voter ID is racist. How do you feel about vaccine passports then? Because the same people pushing the ID rhetoric are in full support of forcing minorities to carry a passport around.... which requires ID to verify. Can you explain the double-think on this one?

>1) ride with one or two fingers on the front brake
My driving school instructor chastised me for that. I kept doing it. As a cyclist, I ALWAYS keep my fingers on the brake, I know how fast I need to react and there is no time to waste reaching for that lever.

>3) ride with your high beam on at all times
Good idea. Will do (During daytime)

>6) gear up
I don´t understand why this has to be repeated so often. It´s a complete no-brainer, when I was budgeting my bike, I added 1000 €for gear: proper motorcycle gear, with pads, with kevlar, with leather, certified. It´s insane how many people ride in their street clothes (when doing my test drive, I wore shorts, a hoodie and a helmet. Luckily I didn´t fall, but as soon as I got off, i got burned badly on the exhaust. There are countless ways to hurt yourself on that machine.)

7)do not ride under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
Again, why do people keep doing this? This is a shortcut to death. And it´s so often combined with the previous point.

Thanks for the tips, I´ve been binge watching motorcycle tips and safety recommendations for months now, most of these repeat so often I have them hammered into my brain.
This is very reminiscent of the Hiroshima attack. The city was so devastated that it took much time for reports of the destruction to reach the emperor and advisors. And even then it wasn't fully believed.

If I'm not misremembering history, then their delay in action - due to the difficulty of getting news of the situation out of the area of destruction - led to the bombing of Nagasaki as well.

That's because your causation is very different from many past peoples. They viewed reality as very affected by divine forces and the 'natural' event as divine intervention (directly or indirectly).

City got destroyed by a meteorite? You view this as an accident. They think 'better remove whatever made the Heavens upset before we are smote again and again with meteorites or worse'.

Now, since the government controlled just about everything in theory (few limits on power), the government is held responsible. People start spreading the notion that perhaps the government needs to be altered to people more pleasing to Heaven, and from there we get civil wars, rebellions, etc. Which can lead to more disasters (badly maintained dams for example, because the civil war takes too many resources away from maintenance) and so on. It's a cycle of instability every ancient government wanted to avoid.
You are correct! And it's amazing how many Americans never take this into account when discussing single payer options. I'm not saying single payer or universal healthcare options are better, but at least when evaluating the different options and their costs we should be putting all the facts on the table.
No worries about slow replies. Obviously I'm not greased lightning myself. I appreciate your civil, thoughtful responses.

> Are you really saying that there's no way for people to condemn killing if there isn't some objective morality? How would you even be confident that killing is objectively wrong?

People can absolutely condemn killing for any reason they like.

When I'm reasoning from the framework of materialist humanism, I don't see any reason killing is objectively wrong. I see no basis for any objective moral statements at all from this perspective.

If there is no transcendence, nothing outside of our heads that actually defines what good is, then I see no basis for saying anything is "right" or "wrong".

Put another way, "right" and "wrong" become synonyms for "liked" and "disliked".

> Saying that morals are objective or subjective doesn't really matter to individuals if we can't know for certain what the objective moral guidelines are.

I think I disagree.

Certainty is something it's very hard for a human mind to have legitimately.

You can still sometimes piece things together enough to have confidence, though.

If we agree that there is such a thing as objectively right and wrong behavior, we can engage in discussion, research, thinking, and debate which may bring us closer to a shared understanding of what that good might be.

If morals are subjective, then you can still have that debate, but there's no basis for it nor a real reason to have it. It boils down to arguing about what the people involved like, as far as I can see, which doesn't really make sense to me.

This could just be my perspective preventing me from understanding what you're getting at.

If you walked into someone's house and looked at their bookshelves, and they had most of these on them, or their books were mostly in the union of a subset of these, I'd wonder what one might speculate about them.

Looking forward to the criticism that results from mapping the co-ordinates of this ontology, as one could weave a narrative around most of the books that aggregates them into types and categories themselves, then transmit the criticism without the substance to some believers, which could codify into an "anti-HN" ideology (which is just a peculiar form of fan club.) Calling "hacker-critical" as a pseudo academic backlash trend now, and a "hacker studies" course designed to encircle these ideas with criticism as levers to manage people who have them. Really, if you aren't using AI to create predictive levers about people's beliefs and behaviors to manage and extract value from them, what are we doing with it. :)

Super cool to create this though, as it would be really interesting for other comminities, potentially subreddits.

JIRA's Search is far worse than the regular JIRA hotkeys. The Enter key will incorrectly tab-complete JQL just before executing the search. Meanwhile, the Tab key doesn't tab-complete and instead focuses the Search button (which lets you execute the uncorrupted JQL). You have to actively train yourself out of how everything else works just to avoid going insane. Well, that or use the mouse just to click Search (eww).

I wonder if a shared struggle/experience is needed to forge strong bonds. Not just going out, eating/drinking/dancing over and over, but a series of ups and downs.

Maybe individuals becoming less dependent on others due to a combination of earning power and internet facilitating ease of accessing information and communicating with literally anyone and not just those around you changed the parameters of life. Hence relationships are less likely to experience the conditions required to create the necessary bonds.
