Wait until they hear about France, where factory produced bread is abhorred and where there are still plenty of bakers doing their bread by hand. Moreover, the baguette costs and tastes the same no matter how rich or poor you are.

It's not like there's a better bread out there that most people don't have access to because they aren't rich enough.

That's a total of 579 deaths among kids 17 or less in spite of the fact that schools and most activities were closed.

Schools stayed open in half of the US and many other countries, and they didn't have noticeably worse results.

579 child deaths used to be considered a lot

Bluntly, it's not. There were over 20,000 childhood deaths in 2016 (https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmsr1804754). That level of risk doesn't remotely justify shutting down schools and massively disrupting their lives.
how about trying to understand it first?

I keep hearing this phrase "we don't know much about the brain" from people who've never opened a neuroscience textbook.
And at the same time everyone and their grandma has an idea how to build artificial intelligence.
Right, so I think I should just take advantage of those days and rest or do low intensity work on other days. Kinda like strength training
It sounds like you’re trying to determine if your tiredness is an inevitable side effect of a productive day, if unproductive days are just random, or if your variation in productivity can be optimized. I don’t know the answers for you, but you might be able to better understand your productivity by keeping a detailed time log of your work.

For two weeks, keep track of every minute of your working time. Once you know where your time went, you can then try to understand why your less-productive days are less productive. Was it because you were too tired to concentrate? Did your “super productive” day involve 12 hours of focused work? You might find there’s not as big a difference as you think between different days, except that some days feel productive because you happen to finish some task, when in reality the groundwork for finishing it was laid on a day that felt unproductive.

> I would also expand this to known supporters and voters, but that can be next step.

So you would massacre tens or hundreds of millions of civilians because accidentally killing civilians is bad? This is the most heinous thing I've ever read on HN.

> Or at least judged by peers of their victims. Like for latest case I say ship everyone in chain of command and involved in manufacturing to Afghanistan and have the local government there deliver the justice they deserve.

Ironically Afghanistan no longer does trial by peers, they do door to door executions without any kind of trial (certainly not trial by jury of peers).

And of course, you're notably silent on deliberately targeting civilians in their thousands, which is what Assad has been doing and the Kremlin implicitly supports.

And yet the truck driver openings, now that the low cost workers are gone, have yet to see a significant pay rise to bring in locals that have never considered the job until now

And if, lets say, the corporations will now have to pay double for UK citizens to drive the gas delivery trucks. Wouldn't that raise the gas prices quite considerably?

The world outside the UK is working pretty well with labor import. Even a certain US ex-president was speaking about how bad it was, while he was requesting hundreds of low cost work visas for his vineyards (got to keep costs low...)

I did this once in Malaysia as the piece of crap car I rented ran out of fuel 5 minutes after leaving depot. Walked to petrol station, tried to fill up Coke bottle with petrol, which created a wonderful petrol fountain/volcano all over me .. then a nice long walk back to the car in mid day sun ... was still a great trip :P

The lockdown has had some effect: HGV tests and lessons were restricted over the lockdown period. And the DVLA has also gone on strike due to covid workplace safety concerns which has meant that those who have passed their tests have been delayed in getting their licenses.

This is fundamentally a sales problem, more than a constant.

New large customer X wants feature Y. Your product does not currently Y. What do you do? It's hard to say "No." Especially when you have growth to maintain, revenue targets to hit, VC to please, etc.

To me, "opinionated" means "have a vision of what the product is and isn't" (that is strong enough to counter-balance sales pressure).
Isn't there? If I look at the not up to date maps from https://www.gie.eu/publications/maps/ there is since years.

We can import gas which is delivered as CLNG via Rotterdam, Zeebrugge, maybe even Dunkerque. The infrastructure is there since years, and has enough capacity. What is happening at the moment is just caused by speculation, hoarders, and politics.

Can confirm from around 10 years of customer support experience. Never ask close-ended question (yes/no), but open-ended ones. That is "what is the color of the motherboard" instead of "is the motherboard blue?".

As you and others pointed at out, this is a very general principle. It comes from the fact that close-ended questions sort of puts words in someone's mouth (the trick is sometimes used when you want a poll to yield a specific result).
This is not universal but there are often times groups of homeschooling families that get together and have their kids socialize. It is likely significantly less than at school but probably changes the formula a bit.
Why? It is still true. Maybe in the future it won't be, but currently 99.99% of moms in this planet are not tech savvy, whether we like it or not. Remember that moms being born in the 1930s are still out there - not everything written has some hidden political intention. As we move forward, if more women happen to get interested into technology, this might change. But until then, jumping on someone for the sake of political correctness - because there may be a tech-savvy mom somewhere out there that you decided to defend, or because it shouldn't be true in your ideal world - is toxic. And as you see people are downvoting you for being this kind of person.

This is super old new 2014 article. One of the biggest problems in India is most of the people are not well educated on differences of credit card vs debit cards. Also there is little to no fraud projection offered to the customers and that's why government is enforcing two factor authentication. If anything happens and you loose money from bank account due to debit card transaction bank will provide you no help what so ever. Its almost like you lost all the money.

I agree that this is a problem, albeit a different one.

The subset of people I'm talking about almost certainly don't fit into this category. There are still millions of kids with struggling parents who don't have proper guidance (note, guidance isn't necessarily supervision).

In the case of parents who are spending more time than ever with their kids, the problem could certainly be more related to aptitude. We live in a society where our lawmakers don't fully understand the technology most people are spending hours a day being manipulated by, so it certainly seems likely most parents don't understand the impact either.

Either way, to say that these companies will solve it themselves with better software for parents doesn't seem like a solution to either issue. It's kind of like "the factories are safer for children now because they're wearing hard hats" — it's the wrong conversation driven by the wrong people.
I have not read Sowell's book. Do you know how he addresses the issue of self-selection? For example, with cost: Some kinds of students require orders of magnitude more resources than others due to health/behavioral/developmental/poverty-related issues. A school that is able to attract specific families or expel specific students should logically attempt to minimize the number of these kinds of students and therefore we would expect them to have significantly lower "per pupil" costs than average. Comparing such a school to one that must accept all students is an apples-to-oranges comparison.

As a personal anecdote I used to manage an academic department that was highly ranked. I'm proud of the faculty and curriculum but to be perfectly frank the biggest factor in our success was that our ranking attracted top-tier applicants. At the level we were at, the differences between us and similar institutions mostly boiled down to that initial self-selection.
Yeah that all sounds very familiar.
Sounds like a gigantic attention suck designed to stimulate addiction. Moreover, it’s unclear to me why opening the floodgates to more human expression without any concern for the quality of that expression is desirable. The virtue of social media seemed self evident in 2006 when we had little experience of what it would mean in practice; in 2021 however, I think the premise that megaphoning unfettered expression is inherently good requires justification, particularly given the instability it has introduced at the societal scale and the addictive behavior, poor mental health, and loss of concentration it has often imposed at the individual level.

Individual humans got along just fine for millennia without being able to broadcast the minutia of their thoughts for likes and subscribes: what are we really gaining by suddenly being able to do so in the course of two decades, and is it really worth the trade offs?
yes, it should be possible to catch up, although it will happen more slowly depending on how bad the driver shortage has become within the fuel industry.
Interesting. That is actually how the app works today: you actually have to tap try Stereo HD, then make a stereo recording that is at least 10 seconds long before pressing "try Stereo HD" again presents you with the paywall.

We got a lot of feedback from users (and from Apple in their App Review -.-) that that was confusing; they wanted to see the paywall straight away. So now we're considering removing that try-it-once-without-starting-a-trial mode.

Regarding exporting to mono: no, that shouldn't happen. It should definitely export to stereo. The exporting process doesn't touch the file. Would you mind sending me that audio file to thomas@tape.it if it's not a very private recording (of course we'll treat it privately; just for internal debugging)?
I am the one who knocks.
I have come to the conclusion that is not about the
methodology but the people. I worked in super productive teams that were not following any "agile" methodology, or really any particular methodology.

The goal was to get shit done and make customers happy.

On the other end of the spectrum, I have worked with teams
that were pretending to embrace agile and scrum methodology
though could keep standup quick and sharp.

It was an excruciating ritual that would take my most
productive hours of the day: every day!

I always try to work with smart people. People who don't need much direction and know how to get things done.
I don't think anybody is suggesting that SQLite archives are a suitable replacement for ZIP or tar + compressor of choice general-purpose compression duties.

The docs for this seem to suggest that this extension is most useful when your application already heavily depends on SQLite and you need a place to store some files but don't want to introduce further OS-specific dependencies into your application.

This is a low-effort solution to a rather specific problem. Which is why it's not part of SQLite proper. The extension itself is 124 lines of C including comments for heaven's sake.

"how can you not categorize interactions with teachers and other faculty as not being in a different age group"

These are interactions, but form just a very limited subset of socializing. Most teachers remain fairly distant and unknown. Or at least that was my experience when going to school.

YMMV.
That's very interesting - thanks!
This was my experience for the short period where I was back in the office, especially as the company hires in all locations.

We have distributed teams, but everyone had to go in and in two months I had one in person meeting.

My shell also aims to have closer compatibility with POSIX (albeit it's not a POSIX shell) so you can use all the same command line tools you're already familiar with too (which, for me at least, was the biggest hurdle in my adoption of PowerShell).

No, there isn't.

There can't be because of how arrays in C degenerate into pointers/addresses; see Walter Bright's "C's Biggest Mistake" -- here: https://www.digitalmars.com/articles/C-biggest-mistake.html

No, they can't.

If you're passing a "Positive" through C's ABI you lose the fact that the value can be neither negative, nor zero. (Unless you mean "passed through" as in, "not mangled", but this is setting the bar so low as to be laughable.)

from my understanding, "Podcasting 2.0" is "just" a series of extensions to the feed format that optionally allow additional functionality. your podcast app doesn't have to do anything with these if it doesn't want to. it's not a Microsoft EEE-type approach, there's no intent (or even means, really) to render "non-Podcasting 2.0-compliant" apps nonfunctional, to prevent new ones from being made, or to otherwise splinter podcasting into different strata. quite the opposite in fact—it's just extensions on top of a format that was designed to be extensible anyway, with the intent of keeping podcasting "open" in a world where the Apples and Spotifys of the world seem to want to lock it down. what's to dislike about this?
My only regret about this device is that it seems to lack full disk encryption on the device or any meaningful privacy (encryption) for documents stored in reMarkable Cloud...which is all of them if you want to use features like Screen Share (f.k.a. LiveView). ReMarkable should not be able to access contents of docs backed up from my device without my password or recovery key, but AFAICT, there is no such protection whatsoever against internal threats.

Other than that, I love my RM2, just can’t use it for as much as I’d like because of the above.
Well, you can put $1 of stabilizer in and have it last for at least a year.
The HN title is still incorrect/editorialized, even for the Economic Times article.

The Indian Express article (from a few months ago, when the deadline was extended to Sep 30) details the changes with much more clarity: https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/explained-why-au...

The crux of the changes are to add an additional factor of authentication (AFA), notify consumers before any recurring charge, and allow them to easily cancel payments. This sounds like extremely healthy regulation, and I have no sympathy for merchants dragging their feet on this for years.
Thank you I will look into it!

What if the escape character comes before a trailing whitespace? Like this (`_` is whitespace):

Will that still escape the newline?

Since worms usually survive electric shocks (and people usually survive seizures), the connectome is probably enough; there probably isn't anything vital in volatile memory. Less-volatile memory like DNA methylation has been proposed to be a significant memory mechanism at the per-cell level but so far, as I understand it, there is not good evidence for this.

You forgot the biggest limitation of sqlar which is lack of support for large files (max is 4GB IIRC). I think this is really unfortunate since a sqlite based archive file format could be really neat and easily support a lot of the features you mention. Additionally, I think it is really cool to have the ability to inspect the file format using SQL.

If sqlar were actually more usable, it would also be really neat for application formats since you could have additional metadata for your application in addition to the archive. Instead of having some magic MANIFEST file for Java jar files, that data could be stored in a separate table with its own indices.
I've just given this a try, and it's a fantastic bit of software. I'll definitely be switching over to it.
I try to do something that makes a positive difference in someone's life every day (even if only a little).

But I suppose, if I had to pick one thing, it would be a habit I started with my very first successful business. Getting a business going taught me that without the support of my community, no success is feasible. So I started consciously repaying my community for their help.

Ever since then, I take 10% of every dollar that comes in my door and put it away somewhere where I'll keep my hands off of it. That is money that no longer exists in my mind, and I call it "paying myself first". Then, I take 10% of the remaining money and donate it to my community.

I don't necessarily donate it all in cash, but count volunteer time as part of the "tithe" as well. Some of that money goes to making care packages that I personally give out to homeless persons as well. And I try to focus on smaller, local charities that are usually overlooked by others.

I know for a fact that this habit has made a very serious difference in at least several people's lives.
