I'm not up to date on city politics, but I had a friend that used to live in Seattle for a while. She kind of hightailed it outta there once she found a remote job because of the homelessness/drug problem. Told me people protested the museum downtown for installing architecture that made setting up homeless tents hostile, and that the city's solution to the drug problem (induced by already decriminalizing hard drugs) is to decriminalize and make drugs more available.
Progressives lost a "safe" city council seat (and nearly another) and the mayor. It wasn't a normal election.
Haha wow I'm getting wrecked for that suggestion. Why?
> It is most certainly illegal to use hollow points in any instance in a case of self defense, even if the self defense is warranted.

That makes no sense and if that's the case, it's definitely unconstitutional.
Looks like we have a different understanding of my words.

I never said that fiber needs are different. I said that fiber works for some people but not for others. I should have specified better. What I meant is that apparently while many if not most people feel satiated from eating fiber, others don't. I.e. it does not help them feel full. You still want to eat a good amount of fiber for other reasons, such as having enough "bulk".

I never said keto and fasting were the same. I drew a link between some of the benefits that I saw from going keto and some of the benefits of fasting.

I am interested though to hear more about why you say it is a dangerous fad diet. I think you're definitely are onto something, if I interpret correctly but I don't want to mis-interpret. I say that because I see a lot of "keto bomb", "keto bar", keto this and keto that pre-packaged food popping up in the grocery stores. I wouldn't trust any of that either. There's also a lot of fluffy and shiny info out there on the internet about it. As with any topic really, one has to be careful while doing research, especially if someone wants to sell you something.
You're right its not. But there's something to be said for voting for one of two insiders or an insider versus an outsider.

I don't think Mr. Durr's achievement is replicable. In my opinion, significant election reform is necessary.

By that time, gold redemptions were mainly available only to foreign entities. Unlike all other forms of money[1], only US federal government spending, in cooperation with the Fed, could create new reserves[2]. That there were too many reserves in foreign hands chasing $35 an ounce gold could only be the result of US federal spending. Therefore while foreign demand was the proximate cause, it was definitely a downstream consequence.

The size of the US government's outstanding liabilities at the time isn't relevant, what affects prices is money flows, not stocks.

Too bad the entire city can’t do this. You know, collect money from land owners and taking part of their income by administrative force and using it to hire people who can act as security guards. What a cool idea! Maybe my best startup idea yet! I’d call it Pol.ice because is puts Punks, Outsiders, and Losers on Ice.

> Using cameras just overcomplicates things for worse results.

If you use a crude algorithm, maybe. But given what's possible with photogrammetry, I think you can use that as another sensor fusion input, with a kalman filter or something similar, and get even more precision at the output.

That's way more complicated when it comes to the algorithm, of course. But the idea was being able to plug more sensors and improve precision.
I wonder if people will just get used to the way driverless cars drive and make some allowances for them. Waymo at least are easy to spot.

As a driver really your main job is to be predictable. If you’re doing something legal or dumb or borderline. The main thing you need is for everyone to understand what that thing is.

So as long as waymo cars are predictable we’ll be able to get used to them.
I have been at Shopify 1.25 years and really enjoyed it. It’s a very engineering centric organization that is both ambitious and kind. While at the same time wanting to push the boundaries of commerce (and attracting people that want to push those boundaries) they also work to reinforce constantly work life balance, stepping away from work, and so on.

I see a lot of comments that conclude that the only way to drive in NYC is to drive like a local. AVs will be an interesting experiment in attempting to break the paradigm. AVs have infinite patience. I'm sure that will drive some locals accustomed to aggressive driving right out of their minds. AVs will drive differently. That may be good thing.
The vaccine mandates being overt fascism was one reason, at the very least this gave Republicans a huge boost in turnout.
Maybe for some. For most uses though, people just want to write data to and read it from the storage media. They don't want to think about the coordinates their data was written to on the DVD.
> The game uses ray casting, not ray tracing. Ray casting is when you send a ray once for every column of pixels

Both ‘ray casting’ and ‘ray tracing’ are overloaded terms, the distinction isn’t as clear as you suggest. You’re talking about 2d ray casting, but 3d ray casting is common, and means to many people the same thing as ‘ray tracing’. Ray casting “is essentially the same as ray tracing for computer graphics”. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting

There’s also Whitted-style recursive ray tracing, and path tracing style ray tracing, but ray tracing in it’s most basic form means to test visibility between two points, which is what ray casting also means from time to time.

The fact that pretty much the whole company was tech savvy and preferred to avoid talking to people when booking stuff online is what made this 180 doubly impressive, IMHO.

The two US senators for South Dakota got fewer than 300,000 votes each and both won by a mile. Curtis Sliwa got more votes than either of them while getting trounced in the NYC mayoral election.
Likability has always been a factor in democracies. It serves as a proxy for trust and a proxy for similarity.

Both major political parties try to use the “down to earth/have a beer with” PR move. AOC was celebrated for being a bartender prior to being elected. She was quite literally someone who you could share a beer with.
0.1% were dictating policy. The other 19.9% of the votes were just following directions.
I think we're at a point where there are enough sites out there that we can avoid a good portion of them (i.e. ones written without progressive enhancement in mind) and still be happy.

For example, I am quite happy with visiting only sites which do not require JavaScript, do not use cookie banners, paywalls, and registration prompts.

For my purposes of browsing Teddit, HN, and my own websites, there are more than 20 beautiful, usable, friendly browsers I can think of just off the top of my head.

For everything else, I just close the tab and move on. Past experience leads me to believe I'm not missing much, because sites which break these requirements usually have crap content too.

If I really need something, I can open Chromium (with UO and Vimium) for that particular site and then close it afterwards.
Your link is parsed incorrectly by HN, causing it to be a 404. The actual link is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_v._Boise

I've never worked for a big famous tech firm, but I will absolutely tell you how I've managed to avoid hating work for 30 years:

Find a relatively small firm, still owner-run and controlled. Avoid public firms. A corporation cannot show loyalty, but a HUMAN can. A manager has no real control -- their manager can reverse them. When you work for the owner, you can trust things a bit more IF you're working for a trustworthy person.

This means small. But it doesn't mean cheap. ;)

That said, I've probably left money on the table working this way, and I'll never get IPO stock or similar, but stability and ethical behavior in a workplace go a LONG way.
I fled to Canada over a decade ago so take my opinion here with a grain of salt but... I think that folks still talk to other folks on a local and familial level so a cousin of mine that's anti-vax has reached out to talk about technical news occasionally and you'll tend to chat with neighbors.

So having someone technically minded in your general blob of associations is generally enough for these sorts of obviously stupid moves to get politicians in serious trouble.

The stakes are a lot lower obviously - but this is a much clearer case of technical malpractice than anything having to do with Snowden and reminds me of Morris[1]'s case - basically it's complete BS and a misuse of the law.

It’s not obvious to me that it’s right to inflation adjust the numbers here, since one of the main arguments people make against large government spending is that they think it causes inflation.
Seriously, what idea? This adds nothing to the conversation here.

Eh, im storing about 1.3TB of photos, its costing me around $10/month. That is an acceptable cost IMO.

Given this, I think the journalist over-simplified the situation in their story and that the "F12" jokes are unjustified. Recognizing there's a disclosure of private information here requires a lot more technical knowledge beyond the ability to view the HTML source.

The governor is still wrong for pursuing this and what the newspaper did was right, given that they disclosed it to the responsible parties and didn't publish until the problem site was taken down.
Over here on the east coast we have a lot of legacy infrastructure to support those rail lines, but they're nothing compared to what they used to be a century ago. That said, I'm hopeful that this administration can actually complete the connection between Scranton PA and NYC, as it would economically help a badly hurting rustbelt community.

As far as the homeless minority: sure, yes, they may not be as big of a population as we assume, and yet here we are discussing how much of a problem it is.

Personally, I can get behind stuff like UBI to help those folks so long as it's distributed to everyone rich or poor, and/or other inefficient social programs are shutdown to help offset these costs. Otherwise I feel like we're just rewarding incompetence and penalizing success, which I believe is where we get into enabling the proliferation of the worst kind of society to live in — one filled with apathy, nihilism, and literally poo everywhere.
For those who think government has too much power, getting nothing done isn’t as bad as it seems.
I'm sure you can imagine! Elsewhere in the thread you say you worked at Netflix, so perhaps you have spent most of your career in high-calibre companies with high hiring bars. Now, imagine PMs at 2nd and 3rd tier companies. Note that the qualifications for being a PM are...nothing really. So any kid with a university degree and a vague interest in working in tech, but with no technical skills can apply and get in as a PM. Congratulations, you have now imagined how bad these people can be!

Proportional to gpd and capability more apt comparison. PRC has greater gdp and infra capability than everyone else combined, so should not be surprising that PRC can do more with comparable less percent of GDP dedicated. China Communications Construction Company (CCCC) dredging group responsible for much of island building is also industry leader in reclaimation. The TLDR is there was a SCS arms race and PRC responding at PRC scale is going to naturally dwarf everyone else. Note ongoing anxiety with Chinese military build up is over PRC spending sub ~2% on defense - what US expects NATO to contribute. PRC isn't being excessive, she's simply massive and more efficient relative to everyone else.

That's disingenuous. These statistics won't necessarily manifest for years, if they're teased out of sociological data at all. Someone has to go looking for them in the first place, and in this environment its unlikely that anyone will stick their neck out to suggest that masks are counterproductive.

This is the danger of politicized science. It becomes one sided and a-scientific.
If you read the response letter the EFF prepared you'll see their argument was that the "rolling cipher" yt-dl worked around was not an actual protection measure. They contrast it with widevine, which is. There's a good legal argument yt-dl was legal in the us, and there isn't for the repo you linked to. I think standing up for things that have a plausible argument that they're legal in the US but not things that aren't is a reasonable line for a corporation to draw.

Theres the croton dam as well.
This question is a Catch-22…

I know a Mexican, who knew that his way out, was by getting in somewhere better. He applied to a German University, with zero experience with the German language. But on the application he lied and marked 'Conversational fluency'… he was accepted, leveraged his new location, and since has been the 1st CTO of multiple companies.

The people who have a little bit of humble audacity & spontaneous enthusiasm, will find a way, and gravitate towards each other.

The problem with this question, is trying to avoid companies that "don't suck"… instead, the aim is to find an amazing company. (Some readers will shrug off this distinction, and the successful will have an 'A-ha!' moment) Because amazing companies filter out average people who are only trying to avoid non-suckiness.

Amazing companies hire amazing people.
This is where government should be able to help with regulation. Nobody should be able to enter or stay on the market without ensuring interoperability, security and accessibility and without transferring certain rights to customers. I’m pretty sure the market will remain attractive for business even with the open source requirement.
I feel like the F12 jokes are fine, since they don't even match the Governor's exaggerated rhetoric about "hacking". Pasting the base64 into one of many online decoders isn't much of an extra step. The Governor kept calling it a complicated 8 step process or something similar to that.
Product management and project management are very different career tracks (or at least, they should be); it's much more common to find technical backgrounds in product managers than project managers. I'd almost go so far as to say that if a company has project managers working with software teams, I'm not really interested in working there. Some situations do benefit from it, but my experience is that it's usually a sign of either a company that doesn't understand software development, or such a messed up situation that it will be impossible to succeed.

It’s not both side ism. They literally lied for years and spent millions of tax payer dollars trying to take out the president, and yet nothing more than words were said by the other side.

Democrats still control the senate in virginia so I'm not sure gun control is over.

Biased because I live in Chicago, but it's legitimately impossible to stop gangs as long as it's possible to get a gun. As soon as someone is arrested there are 5 kids ready to take their place. The only solutions to gun violence here are end poverty or stop guns from out of state from entering the city.
TS discriminated unions are functionally nearly identical to variants in OCaml and enums in Rust. I don't know about Rust, but the difference between TS and OCaml is mainly just the syntax and ergonomics. OCaml has great syntax for pattern matching and exhaustiveness checking, for example. You can still get this functionality in TS with if/else or switch statements and potentially some type system tricks: https://www.fullstory.com/blog/discriminated-unions-and-exha...

To illustrate how TS discriminated unions are functionally equivalent, check out this playground link showing how ReScript (an alternate syntax of OCaml which can compile to JavaScript) compiles an OCaml variant to a JavaScript object with a "TAG" key that could easily be typed as a discriminated union in TypeScript:

'When the facts change, I change my mind - what do you do, sir?'

It looked like things were improving, and the more contagious Delta variant (or, as the airline likes to write, B.1.617.2) turned up.

Where I live in Oregon, our hospital was overflowing with people towards the end of summer, to the point where people have died because they couldn't get 'elective' surgery. In that kind of situation, you use a 'defense in depth' strategy, which includes both vaccines and masks.

It's really not that big of a problem to wear one.
We do stand ups but nobody is standing :-) We are all remote. This is the only time we see each other in a group. We tried doing it slack-only but ppl liked getting to see each others face once a day.

This a much more constructive comment, thanks!

> It is absolute nonsense to describe being in the healthcare unit as solitary confinement and it absolutely does NOT qualify as solitary isolation under British law, or EU law or UN law.

The article I linked makes a very strong argument that the location and/or reason for solitary confinement does not change its nature. Indeed when the British prison system uses "segregation" to curtail contact with other prisoners there is an official approval and review process that is designed to asses impacts on the prisoner's mental health. The "healthcare" isolation didn't involve any such process.

The article also lays out exactly how Assange's isolation for 22 hours a day qualifies as "solitary confinement" under both UN and EU laws. Are you disputing the facts of Assanges isolation or the interpretation of these laws?

> There is absolutely nothing to suggest HMPPS have anything other than his interests in mind.

I think it is pretty damning that a nonviolent prisoner was placed in a maximum security prison for a parole violation and then placed in isolation in a manner that bypassed the standard processes that would have protected Assange's mental health during that isolation.

If the HMPPS had really had Assange's interests in mind, he would have been placed at a medium or low security psychiatric facility.

> All of this is covered in the judgment if you could be bothered to read it rather than accusing me incorrectly of not knowing the facts.

Please indicate where this is all covered in that judgement as I can't address the entire document in a hope that I cover the sections you are referencing.
Grew up near Chicago but long gone before this happened so I looked it up:

> Krupa needed 473 valid signatures of ward residents to get on the ballot. He filed 1,729 signatures with the Chicago Board of Election Commissioners. He earlier said he filed 1,703 but missed a page of signatures.

> A crew of mysterious political workers — perhaps they were Buddhist monks, or the gentle sun people known as the Eloi, or maybe Madigan precinct captains — filed 2,796 petitions of revocation of signature. That means 2,796 ward residents filed legal affidavits that they wanted their signatures taken off Krupa’s petitions.

> The Madigan men filed 187 affidavits of revocation matching Krupa signatures. But Dorf, a progressive who’d done election work for the late Mayor Harold Washington and former President Barack Obama, put in a Freedom of Information Act request asking the board to give him all the revocations affidavits that were filed.

> All 2,796 of them.

> “And that’s where the fraud comes in, that’s where the felonies come in,” Dorf said. “Almost 2,800 affidavits were filed. But only 1,726 people signed petitions for Krupa. And of the 2,800 affidavits, the 13th Ward could only find 187 signatures that matched.

> Subtract 187 from 2,796 and you get 2,609 — that’s a lot of possible felonies, either perjury or voter intimidation.

I consider both licenses to be about freedom however they differ in the freedom involved.

MIT style licenses are about freedom for the programmer to do as they want, not code freedom.
GPL is all about the freedom of the code, at the cost of freedom for the programmer to do as they want.

I've gone the same route myself, from BSD style on earlier things to GPL on most things I do now. I'm still looking for a good license to apply to hardware projects though.
