Yeah it's amazing how other companies are unable to generate hype or awe in their presentations. I consider most Android/Windows products quite ugly but even the pretty ones are just not marketed or shot well. Notice how Apple always has their laptops displaying some stunning photo? Or how it shoots the phones to emphasize the shiny, reflective metal? It's so simple yet other companies utterly fail at it.

I remember reading about how Jobs would rehearse product releases for months, even going as far as to demand that the fire exit lights be turned off. I don't advocate for putting your audience at risk but it does demonstrate the fanatical obsession with presentation that has remained at Apple.
I think Bostrom’s core argument is likely valid - the more ancestor simulations you run, the greater the odds you are actually in one yourself. Now, right now that number is zero, and we don’t know if it will ever rise above zero, and even if one day it does, that day is likely many centuries away. But maybe in 500 or 5000 years time, ancestor simulations will be very numerous, and Bostrom’s argument may convince many people in such a scenario

Unfalsifiable propositions can be true, and it is even possible to have good reason-whether direct or indirect evidence-for believing one

“Somewhere and somewhen in this universe there exists an extremely controversial and very famous politician named Donald Trump” is an example of a proposition which is true, and we have very good reason to believe is true, but which is strictly speaking unfalsifiable, indeed almost inherently so. Even if we suppose our Donald Trump had never been born, we could not rule out the possibility of some very famous and controversial politician having that name (let’s say named by a very similar sequence of sounds) existing on a planet in a distant galaxy. If one accepts a B theory view of time, that proposition has always been true, and was just as true in 5000 BCE as it is today, but nobody back then could have possibly known it was true.

> Only companies flagged as H1 dependent or 'willful violators' need to certify that they've attempted to hire locally.

Ok, maybe I'm wrong – I understand the initial process for L1B a bit better than H1B.

Blanket L1 app, there was an _absolutely enormous_ document stack with all sorts of things(for a blanket L1). Including all the skills, and how many people satisfied those skills in the US. Also information how the company would be able to afford the wages (Fortune 100).

How much of this was absolutely required and how much was the law firm anticipating requests I do not know. The information about skill availability in the US headquarters was absolutely mandatory though.

I guess one question is: do those things have to cost thousands of dollars? What are the primary cost components? Are the people doing these jobs highly paid? Are they highly paid because of high costs of college tuition? Would free college help lower their costs?

Was out of work a few years back and responded to a job posting from LinkedIn. The posting had a LONG laundry list of requirements - maybe 15 or so (Java, JavaScript, Spring, Hibernate, Angular, JAXB, SQL, etc.) and another long list of "nice to haves" (MySQL, shell scripting, AWS, etc.) and I had years of hands-on experience with all of them. Every single one. I still didn't get the job.

In theory you could use CUE to validate requests and insert defaults and implied data, replacing Ajv.

1. Get the CUE value representing the schema endpoint

2. Convert the JSON request into a CUE value

3. Unify the request with the schema

If unification fails, return 400 Bad Request.

If it succeeds, deserialize the resulting third CUE value into a programming language value.

CUE will fill fields missing from JSON by either using the default values from schema or inferring fields that have only one possible value (which may depend on all the other fields of request and schema).

> I am not saying global warming is great, but unless it will reduce us to something worse than an industrialized society it is worth it.

What if it's industrialized, but can only manage output comparable to, say, the world in 1930? So it'd be like a housewarming party so wild it renders the house uninhabitable and you have to go back to living wherever you did before.

And this exchange is a good illustration of "why idea of progress fell out of favor in the course of the 20th century": there are legitimate reasons to expect the future will be worse than today. When we were optimistic about progress, we couldn't see the cliff ahead that we can see now.

Also, we've been myopic in a way very typical of a tech forum: focusing on technology and forgetting about everything else.
No, it's meant to be moving backwards in time, so 2022 is in the past.

I realize that this isn't how Benjamin Button works. It's not the perfect concept. I can't believe I'm actually spending time typing this explaining how this kinda cheap joke someone else wrote works and acknowledging the weaknesses of it, but here we are.
People act irrationally when it comes to their feelings on preserving life. Human or animal.

I think it's pretty lame to say "Well, we shouldn't save one particular being because we're not maximally saving the most beings!".

Accept what we can get, and work with that. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
How does using UTC help? You still have to remember the time-offset between EU and USA and India to make sure your meeting is during somebody else's dinnertime (or worse).
No, this is Benjamin Button: the gimmick is he is traveling backwards in time. So when he says "since 2022" in 2016, he is living in 2016 having just lived through the period 2022->2016 in that order. So this was a prediction, in 2016, that the Mac Pro and desktop macs would not be touched by Apple between 2022 and 2015.

Pity he didn't mention the pandemic. Could have been a useful warning to everyone.
Yes, often times they are incredibly jaded and abused by the system. For example, my mom was a public school teacher. Lots of boys in her class were diagnosed with ADHD. She would make the children run off their energy before lessons, but this is not policy. The other teachers would just take a rowdy kid and send him off to assessment for ritalin or whatever drug they give these days. That was the 'standard practice'. Guess which one actually works?

It very much is not an exact match like what you would get with MD5 for example.

The three big ICIJ leaks were not published as in dumped to the public. Only politicians, PEPs, obvious money launderers and some obvious other criminals were selected and exposed. (It’s only money laundering if you can proof the money comes from the proceedings of crime)

There are some criminal service industry leaks that are public, or have been public, yet it doesn’t appear more than a few individual have the motivation to follow trough in combing them. At least this is true for groups who would publish on their findings.
My dad claims to have “invented” the brushless electric motor as a physics student, only to discover it had been invented many dozens of times already.
The 401k part is available to sole proprietors too. "Solo 401k" or SEP-IRA are the tools for the job. They're easy to set up and you can put up to that same limit ($45Kish?) away if you have enough income. And if you have a LOT of income ($200K+?) you can really turbocharge it with a defined-benefit plan, which lets you put away close to 50% of the consulting income for retirement.

Most of the other things you list are available to sole proprietors too: "(paying for your) retirement savings, depreciating assets, (paying for your) salaries, food, travel, lodging, equipment, and services"

I'm not sure about health care, are you sure there's no way to deduct it as a sole proprietor?
> Buy a hearing aid today from any major provider in Canada and you get: [...]

Do you know what the status quo in the US is? (I don't, other than the prescription requirement from the article.) What you describe for Canada sounds pretty good to me, but I wouldn't assume any part of US healthcare is as inexpensive as Canadian healthcare or that the regulations are as well thought out.
I would wager it's a combination of psychological factors: most people in the northern hemisphere prefer summer to winter, and falling back an hour in the fall in combination with the shorter days in general means that most people waking up hours before sunrise, which is unpleasant.

(Shorter winter hours are universally unpleasant, so it's not obvious there's a good answer regardless.)

Shouldn't the title read "World's greatest female free diver?" since her records are well below the mens' records?

Maybe they mean that, even though she doesn't have the best results in an absolute sense, she has achieved more than anyone relative to her potential. But if we're judging relative to potential, then we also have to consider all the people who pushed themselves to their limits but were not able to set any records due to physical limitations. Who is the best freediver less than 5 feet tall? Who is the best freediver with a naturally low lung capacity? And then the question seems silly, since we could never take all of these people into account.

I assume the title is intentionally provocative and provokes this question in almost every reader. But no one has mentioned it here, so I figured I would be the one to call it out explicitly.
Can't you just use UTC? Isn't that basically exactly what it is?
You’re correct that the insurance policies cover operational risk (again, akin to FDIC) but not default risk.
> FRED data shows that median real wages were essentially flat from 1979 to 2015ish

Yeah that makes sense. Precipitous drop in real wages since the 60s though is a pretty big claim that deserves quite a bit of scrutiny before just being accepted as brute fact.

> offsets steep increases in the price of necessities like housing, education, and healthcare with hedonic adjustments for higher quality cars, TVs, and phones.

Right but the offset is proportional to the monetary amount spent right (I also don't believe cars actually get a hedonic adjustment but I may be misremembering)? That is for steep increases in housing, education, and healthcare to be offset by hedonic adjustments in TVs and phones, roughly the same amount of money would be spent on housing, education, and healthcare, as on TVs and phones (or would need astronomically large hedonic adjustments). That being said housing, education, and healthcare have indeed seen steep inflation-adjusted increases in costs, but I interpret that to mean a widespread low rate of increase in costs for the rest of the basket, which includes clothing, food, and the like (which is not necessarily a good thing, it would probably be a good thing to say triple the price of electronics if that could result in healthcare costs staying stable).
Is it my imagination, or has there been an upswing of interest in F# on HN recently?
See the Hackaday link I posted earlier for one such example.
There's a difference between a repairman and a teacher.

The repairman's techniques are immediately assessable. If you pick up your car and it doesn't work, his technique failed.

A teacher's results are not obvious until many years after the fact.

It is for this reason that when purchasing a car, we expect manufacturers to use engineering processes informed by scientific study that lead to longer-lasting cars. When mistakes in their quality are discovered, their cars develop particular reputations and sometimes have to be recalled.
Or we could just have an education system that results in a highly-skilled U.S. labor force. Imagine that.

I’ve only played around with it on a few smaller projects, but it blew me away with the simplicity and expressiveness. I’ve used it a few times to make simple web based UIs for personal tooling and am looking forward to using it on something bigger.

Gplv2 violations are widespread, we need much much more enforcement and more copyleft software, and this could be a huge win. Free software's main purpose should not be to be proprietarized, too much of it now is a group effort among companies to more efficiently lure users to trade their freedom for functionality.
Can't we just get rid of the prescription system in general, and make doctors advisors like lawyers are? I don't need all these gatekeepers "keeping me safe." In Mexico you can just walk into a pharmacy and buy anything. Even pain killers. And it works fine. The only drugs that seem to cause societal problems are the ones that the government tries to keep you from getting.

This. My company (Fortune 100) tells me not to discuss immigration status during the interview process. Oftentimes, the first time I discover that I'm hiring a candidate that's on an H-1B is when I find out they're going to be in the onboarding pipeline for longer due to immigration-related paperwork.

It certainly doesn't figure into hiring decisions or compensation.
got it. Makes sense.
What this person said. You'll almost always have a personal guarantee on a loan. And if it's just you consulting, you don't typically have assets in the LLC to borrow against anyway.
Came here to say the same thing. Some years back, to pass my CS databases course, we were required to write really complex queries in the computer lab. We had very limited time to do so.

Many people failed because their queries became complex monoliths, hard to debug or optimize when things went wrong.

That's because they limited themselves to SQL-92. We were using Oracle, so there was no reason not to use SQL:1999. I made heavy use of WITH, and it was quite effortless.
Lemme know if you find them
Sure, but those are symptoms of larger problems. Increasing enforcement is an act of hiding the symptoms and it does not and will never solve the underlying problem.

For example, I encounter far less discrimination and less racism living in where I do now than in other places, and yet the laws are practically the same here as in anywhere else. The reason I experience less discrimination here is due to the encompassing framework that everyone here is subjected to as part of their experience growing up. The strictness of the laws is irrelevant to that issue.

If you want to change how people act, you need to change the entire framework that people are growing within.
I got one as well (+£200 for 16GB) and... stopped using £5k macbook pro from year before. M1 beats it, much faster and 5x+ cheaper. Crazy stuff.
The intel series MBPs do not have all day battery life, though, they last 3-5 hours when being used for software development.
So your argument in favour of socializing this is that people tend not behave optimally, in your view? This seems like a poor reason. Let the people who fall victim to their biases suffer the consequences, don't impose the cost of holding their hands on those who are capable of managing themselves.

They switched whole-hog to USB-C on their computers to push industry adoption and were derided for it, with people bitching and moaning about how they needed dongles for "everything." What was left out of the conversation: they dropped the proprietary magsafe connector, opened the door to charging their laptops off third party chargers, 12v/airline adapters, etc. They also opened the door to having one cable connecting your laptop to power, display, input devices, storage, and networking by means of a dock. But the teenage masses on reddit screamed "DONGLEEEEESSSS" and spewed shitty memes. People who evoke Nazi language to describe their smug choice in computer hardware, that's a crowd we should listen to...

Apple stopped including USB power bricks because everyone on the planet is drowning in them by now, and there are many choices like multi-port AC adapters, ones with different combinations of USB A and C meaning you probably want to pick the adapter you want anyway. But people screamed blue-bloody-murder. And then not long after Apple does it, Samsung quietly follows suit and nobody says a fucking word.

Apple dropped floppy drives and the world screamed about how stupid they were. At the time software had long since stopped coming on floppy, USB thumb drives were out, ethernet was everywhere and wifi was going mainstream. Apple helped put the nail in the coffin, pushing many people to USB thumb drives, network file shares, wifi, etc.

Apple dropped optical drives, same thing. Software was coming digitally; I worked for a company that offered a digital download in 1999 and we were a dinky little niche company. By the time Apple stopped including optical drives on their laptops, CDs were largely dead for software, everyone was using MP3s, etc. That room freed up space for stuff like bigger batteries.

Apple pushed hard on digital display interconnects when much of the PC world was still chugging along on VGA which worked poorly with actual raster displays that were rapidly becoming the norm and PC hardware companies just couldn't seem to figure out how the fuck to communicate "here are the resolutions and refresh rates I can do", something Macs had been doing for a decade. Kids these days don't remember the pains of having to do geometric adjustments on a digital display for a supposedly raster signal.

Dropping headphone connectors on their phones, people screamed blue bloody murder. A pair of pretty decent wireless headphones with 8 hours of battery life were not hard to find for $30ish, now they're commonplace for cheaper, and damn near every car comes with a bluetooth audio function in its stereo, even work vans. And if you want hardwired headphones, a dongle is a $5-20 affair, with Apple's audio adapter scoring very good marks in audio DAC tests...
Honestly, you're right. I should just stop trying to discuss with the wayland wg and gnome devs and just create my own protocol extension without asking anyone, submit patches to Qt, Kwin, and certain webbrowsers, and then just use those myself.

Sure, Gnome still won't adopt them ever because they're stubborn and think they know everything better, but at least I'd have a somewhat working solution.

Maybe elementary OS would actually use it too, they've already got support for just scaling everything based on the font size.

Thing is, I need this functionality yesterday. And it's been an absolute pain hearing that even if you spend an excessive amount of work today, in a community where all of gnome is against you, maybe someday in a decade it'll get better.
