In ours, there are many places where people don't care.

A lot depends on the role one plays. some are very meaningful. In some you carry a direct and deep responsibility(for your team mates lives, for the people you protect). In some places, you'll get punished severely if you make a mistake, So you really try not to. So you try to do a good job.

In others ? Not so much. So you do the bare minimum and skate by. Many people are like that. It's a general "recommendation" for the new soldier.

Now compare that to civilian life - in most jobs you're just a cog, you get paid the minimum your employer can manage, and most of the benefit of doing a better job is making the boss richer. So why give a fuck ?
Sadism, mostly. The electric chair was painful enough but too picturesque, which makes it easy to rally against. The injections solve that problem whilst still inflicting immense pain. Which is supposed to be good, because these damn criminals had it coming. Or something.

Pine64 offering are very interesting. They offer some powerful SBC's on a raspi which makes them compatible with many available cases. This also puts them on a position to release a very unique product: a notebook case for arm SBC. Something like a non-toy crowpi2. The pinebook pro is interesting but non-upgradeable, a arm sbc case in a notebook form would be the ultimate upgradeable obsolescence free cheap laptop.
Yes, of course, 1984! He was expressing his fears about the future of the UK, because he was British (and of course, because he was projecting a future, it was fiction). You are quite right.

> And can you point towards a European country that isn't in the grip of a totalitarian state where this currently happens?

No, but there are several European countries that are essentially totalitarian at the moment; and there are several European countries that are not currently totalitarian, that have required people to carry ID on pain of arrest during my memory. It's a reasonable fear.

This was a time referred to as the "nadir of race relations" in the US, and if you read the output about humans as a species from that period, you'd be a lot less impressed. It's all out of copyright and a lot is available online. It's not what most of us would look at as science, now. It's more like mythmaking.

Huh? The company made their code open source under a permissive license. A developer working there then built their own package inspired by that code on their own time. I'm not sure where ethically the issue is here. Many things are legal but not ethical. So while they may legally be able to compel him that doesn't mean their action isn't unethical and petty. Companies that do unethical and petty things tend to be horrible places to work eventually.

Did anyone else find this somewhat surprising:

"The seasonal workers are unloading and loading, picking and packing at more than 250 new facilities Amazon says it’s opened in the U.S. just in 2021..."

250 new warehouse facilities opened in the United States in 2021. Five new facilties per state? And, obviously, some states would only have gotten 1 or 2 (or maybe less) - so some states would have been getting 10-15....

That just seems like a suspiciously high number to me, I'm not sure if I buy it.

The game files continue to work, even without an account actually. You can simply keep the old launcher and/or run the game directly.

While I agree with you in principal, the truth is that if you don't update the launcher it doesn't break - and if you do update the launcher it also doesn't break, it just requires you to complete an account migration.

Probably not because gmail and other ones are blocking/ghosting you (I suspect this to be the issue right?). Nobody is forcing people towards gmail though. I am one that is scared of being locked out by giants like Google and I switched everything (website logins + mail) to something else (my domain email, managed by protonmail).

> There's nothing comparable to that at all in the New Testament.

There certainly is. In fact, at one point, Jesus even brings up Sodom as an example!

See Matthew 23, where Jesus calls the scribes and Pharisees "children of hell" and says that all the righteous blood shed since Abel will be required of them, prophesying the Siege of Jerusalem and the destruction of the temple ("not one stone will be left upon another.") Or the famous incident where he drives people out of the temple with a whip. Or when he says hate is the same sin as murder and lust the same as adultery, and those who commit them will end up in hellfire (in the Sermon on the Mount, no less.)

Or the reason he so enraged the Jewish authorities, he repeated claims that they were going to lose the kingdom. For example, after he healed the centurion's servant: "When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."

Or when he says the Capernaum is going to have a worse time than Sodom: " And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee."

Or his comments on people that don't forgive: "And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses."

Or the Parable of the Vineyard.

Or this particular memorable castigation from John: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it."

This is a view in the popular imagination, but it isn't really supportable after reading the gospels.
What exactly is “sufficient security controls”? This is the type of thing that sounds good on the surface, but becomes nightmarish when you start to think about how it might work in practice.

Experts disagree on how to do security. For instance, there’s still some people who insist that complex password rules are a genius idea that makes the world far safer, yet they’re unambiguously bad for security because they knowingly decrease the number of possible password combinations.

Whose idea of best practices wins? I’d hate that the decision now becomes a dictate by some bureaucracy that likely barely knows what the hell is going on.
> I'm sorry that happened to your brother, and I hope things are better for him now.

Yep, that unfortunate time of his life has passed and he is in a much better place. Found someone who helps keep him grounded mentally. Finally qualifies for social security so he isn't struggling just to find a roof to live under. Luckily he was an engineer for many years and so his social security payment isn't half bad. He's going to be okay now, and for that I'm grateful.

I agree with your sentiments. I'm glad that I live in Oregon, so we do have assisted suicide as an option. The law makes it somewhat difficult, IMO, but in practice the rules seem to get bent. My father died with assistance a few years back when he had terminal kidney disease. Two nurses came to the house and prepared the pills for him by converting them into a liquid he could drink, they even helped him hold it. He'd have had difficulty doing that himself, so I'm grateful they were willing to help. I don't think the law allows for that much assistance, but maybe I'm wrong.

In lieu of euthanasia, I'll pin my hopes on opiates, I guess. A friend of mine passed away about a week ago (cancer) and I had the opportunity to talk with him about three weeks ago -- he was on a significant dose (but not quite lethal) of fentanyl, and he said he had zero pain. They were willing to crank the dose up to whatever it takes -- this seems normal when hospice is involved. No worries about anyone getting addicted. And if the patient inadvertently dies a little early, nobody asks any questions.
Yeah, Quake was supposed to be their RPG in development, The Fight for Justice. "You start off as Quake, the strongest, most dangerous person on the continent." Your character in The Fight for Justice was supposed to start off with a Thor-like hammer and a ring of protection. They tried to carry forth the combat with the hammer into the final Quake game, making it a more melee-focused thing albeit with the ability to shoot thunderbolts or other magic and cause shockwaves by striking the ground with the hammer, etc. They found it didn't work, and they all just wanted to play with more Doom-like guns anyway. The hammer may have become the Axe and Lightning Gun weapons in the final game.

NFTs Are Digital Signaling
r/DataHoarder is practically guaranteed to take you down a similar path, as well. You have been warned.
What I’ve been curious about this week along with the $120 million badger DAO hack is what does one then do with these hundreds of millions? Do you launder it through NFT’s, divide it between dozens of wallets and dump it on some other exchange? If you do end up selling it can you expect legal troubles beyond taxes (e.g. the original wallet holders press charges)?
No. I am not. If someone has money, they can do whatever they want with it. Some rando on the internet telling someone else they shouldn't do something because they don't agree with it is the joke. There's a difference between opining on how public policy is applied, but telling a private individual what they can do is just asinine. I totally realized that this is arguing with a fence post level of conversation, as the internet is the one place to be guaranteed that logic need not apply
Corruption is a huge first world issue too.
Do you know what insensitivity is? Would you make the same joke about any of the other examples I mentioned?
Nope.

Appreciate the feedback. The community site could definitely use massive amounts of documentation and it hasn't been updated recently either.

I'd agree anyone that is actually taking something to prod will be using a ci/cd server of some kind, but in terms of just monkeying around or using as a dev laptop the M1s don't have the same ergonomics.

We're not against M1s at all. If enough people want that support it can be added - whether it is native ARM builds or binary translated X86 - it is mostly just a word of warning on expectations.
At this point, I have lost track of your argument. Do you object to Hubris being written in Rust or do you object to Cliff explaining why Hubris is written in Rust?
> keep track of the whole thing

Do you really expect a human to usefully monitor the whole thing continuously? If you look at a modern lift, there is quite an array of sensors on each tower.

> no way to stop in an emergency

There's an emergency stop button at both ends. They get used on a regular basis due to emergencies. By far the most common emergency is someone falling in the loading or unloading area. (I think a lot of high capacity lifts actually have multiple emergency stop buttons at each end so that any of several operators can stop the lifts.)
Ahh, I'm wondering if they got it (uncredited) from this:

> Why is that though?

I would venture that is because looking at green pieces of paper is fun for a while but gets old quite soon.

A big ass boat is fun for a longer time, and says "I'm rich" louder than a number in a bank account.

Real estate and stock are not much fun, but people will pay you to live in your flats and to buy stuff from the companies that you own, and this will get you a bigger boat (see above).
I'm using mine as Escape but almost everyone I know use it as Caps Lock. To be honest, outside of the people using Vim/Emacs, I haven't seen anyone remapping Caps Lock.

Usually users with remapped key know how to change their keymap to match their needs, users not remapping don't. It is a small inconvenience for a minority of the users that they can easily handle. Changing this to Ctrl/Escape/Whatever else by default would be a huge inconvenience for most users.

And the Caps Lock key is not useless either, my older relatives can't keep Shift pressed while typing an uppercase word or sentence. Even for single uppercase letter, it makes sense for them to sequentially use Caps Lock > Letter > Caps Lock.

> Any questions and criticism of these claims and solutions is immediately dismissed because these are unquestionable magical solutions beyond any reproach.

Do you have an example of this happening in this thread? Because I don't think this is the case on HN generally.

> And proponents of these things can't even show how and why they are better beyond [...] "because decentralised" [...] as if this explains things and makes thing automatically better. No, they don't.

You seem to be agreeing with my point about how the value of a decentralized solution is a fundamental disagreement.
A Dutch engineer maybe. The views on this topic are so extreme in my country i find it a bit creepy. I'm sure everyone involved thinks people should be able to die at the touch of a button. The rest is just there for compliance reasons.

This was entertaining, thanks.
An analogy with the hermeneutic of continuity is appropriate. Breaking with Tradition (typically accomplished by preserving original texts, but attaching completely new meanings to the words) wrecks that continuity and cuts people off from the lifeblood of the Faith. Architecture reflects the liturgy, and, as we say, lex orandi, lex credendi, lex vivendi, it is to be fully expected that this modernist rupture would produce silly architecture and appeals to changing architectural styles in the past fall flat when we begin to understand this point.

While Vatian II was a licit council, the aftermath of confusion produced a playground for modernist opportunists who ravaged the Church with the most preposterous attempts to remake the Church in the image of the World instead of the other way around. Watch out for phrases like "making the faith more relevant". The more "relevant" the Church has become, the more it resembled the World, the more apostasy it witnessed: if mass is no longer the unbloody sacrifice, but a mediocre rock concert full of sappy music, then what's the point? So I don't really buy any of these stale boomer arguments about needing to "adapt to the times". Certainly, one may respond to the times, but when the word "adapt" is used, this is just a euphemism for remodeling, usually in an underhanded way.

In any case, France, the eldest daughter of the Church, is a post-Catholic country. Notre Dame, for most French, has already been a museum. All this does is formalize the transition.
Much of your comment doesn't contribute to the discussion. I get that I offended you, but I think you should explore why you're so offended.

I reference other networks in my other comments. If you think the facts I've stated aren't actually facts, provide some controverting evidence (all you do is call them opinions, ironically making you guilty of the thing you're accusing me of). I'm not gatekeeping and obviously have no such power; I'm participating in an internet forum politely. Eugenics is gross. I haven't burned a book since... middle school probably.

There are bank regulators in the US, it is heavily regulated. Businesses are still free to choose who they want to do business with. Banks will get smacked down by regulators if they helped laundered money so they error on the side of caution. The fact that is heavily regulated is the root cause.
It's dual-use creepy and practical. Cleaning people need to know where things belong after last night's statutory rape "role playing" with middle schoolers and high schoolers. The other thing is, if you're a supposed almost billionaire, then you need some protection if you don't have a body guard. I find it weird that a pistol would ever be out, but I think it's so to not freak-out new staff if they discover it while cleaning the nightstand.

Most of the items listed seem like precise expectations. But it did seem weird they have the same thing for breakfast every morning. Like, wouldn't you hire a cook to bring cooking skills and novelty into your life, or did they just want to hire "generic servants" who would work for next to nothing and obey?

The pricing api is so weird. It basically downloads a CSV file and serves that up through code. Also none of the names in there match anything else in the AWS nomenclature. It talks about SKUs and in general feels like somebody leaked an internal API by accident.

The official docs literally tell you to manually search the file in a text editor.
